Thread of Fate

-Third Person-

Alex evaluated the executives the following week. This will determine if Lea and the others are really eligible for their own positions.

He decided to request some reports from Lea although it isn't due yet she managed to give him a detailed report in an instant.

He conducted surprise meetings but she presented very well.

He asked her for some revisions in some contracts and she did it without any complaints.

For days, their routine has become like this.

He really tested her in every way possible but of course, in the scope of her job description but she's just doing it perfectly. She's really made for the job.

Alex is already running out of reasons to kick her out of her position. She is really born to be a CEO.

He is facing the city, thinking about his next move, when Vien entered his office.

"Alex, here's your coffee." She placed it on his table.

He faced her. "Hey..." It was very obvious in his tone that he has no energy left. He took a sip of it and didn't drink it anymore after knowing what kind of coffee was inside.

Instead of sitting at the available seat, Vien chose to sit on his lap, her favorite place. "Are you tired? You can go home anytime you want naman because you're not needed here daily and what's good there is you can take me with you." She even winked at him while smiling lustily.

"I need to be here to monitor the executives including you, Vien."

"Oh, you don't need to monitor me because I am doing my job without a hitch." She started kissing him again. "Para madagdagan energy mo." She even added.

3 knocks were heard while they were exchanging fiery kisses. Lea came in. She was surprised at what she just witnessed. The two stopped what they were doing and looked at her. From her surprised reaction, her face went back to being blank.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you both but I would like to inform you, Mr. Madrigal, that I will be leaving earlier than you for this day only. I know, I don't need to tell you that but if you're going to request some documents, I won't be able to give them to you tonight. That's all." She left before she could even hear his response.

"What time is it, Vien?"

She fished out her phone and checked. "It's just 6:13 pm." He nodded. "My God! Ang ayoko sa lahat ay yung naiinterrupt ako sa mga ginagawa ko. By the way, how is your evaluation of her?"

"Vien, she's doing her job perfectly and I don't see a single reason why we need to demote her."

She smiled devilishly at him. "Masyado ka kasing naka-focus sa job description. Think outside of the box, Alex."

"What do you mean?"

"Ask her something na hindi na niya sakop. Gawin mong assistant kung maari. Pagurin mo hanggang sa siya na yung mag-quit."

He did as he was told by his girlfriend. He doesn't know why he continues to oblige with her requests but he's still doing it anyway.

"Hello, Ms. Solomon?"

It's just 5 in the morning yet he is already messing with her life. "Hello? Do you know what time is it, Alex?" The other line answered and she is obviously awakened by his call.

"Yes, Lea. It's exactly 5:15 in the morning."

"Good that you know. Now if you could just leave me alone for 1 more hour, I will do whatever you want me to do."
