Catalina's Dreams

💝 Prologue 💝

Steffan Guidecilli is an Italian billionaire pretending to be an ordinary guy looking for an ordinary job, in New York City. He arrived in New York without telling anyone. He doesn't want anyone in New York to know his true identity. He changes his name to keep his identity a secret. He met his most trusted friends, Luis, and Nikolai.

Luis, who previously works in Bolinski International, knew that Steffan came from the most influential and affluent family in Italy. But saying so, Steffan asks Luis not to let anyone off their colleagues who knew that he is in New York and to keep a low profile for him. He told him about his plan to stay for a year in New York. He wanted to work as an ordinary employee and ask Luis to help him find a job with something to do with a Marketing background.

Coincidentally, La' Belle house is looking for a new Marketing manager to fill in the position vacated by the CEO herself. Since Catalina is now the CEO of the company.

Luis made a call to Alice, Catalina's personal assistant,  to make an appointment for Steffan. Luis got him an interview on Monday. He will have an interview with Catalina at eight in the morning, at La' Belle House located in downtown Manhattan.

Wow! I remember Luis told me that Nikolai's wife, Alesandra Renaulthè owned the company but she no longer works there. It was managed by her best friend which is now the CEO of the company. Luis gave me a little hindsight of the CEO. She is a beautiful and charming, but feisty woman when it comes to work and her staff. She's smart and hard-working and most of all, no man is allowed to get near her. Everyone gets intimidated by her presence and personality and no one can break her wall.

He was fascinated by the information he got about this woman and took it as a challenge.

Then let the game begins...

Monday morning. 

Steffan wakes up late and in a rush to get to the bathroom.

"Dios Mio!! I'm gonna be late f****!!"

After a quick shower, he rushed in to change into his suit and stepped out into his apartment.

"Taxi!!"

"Where to sir?"

"Renaulthè Corporate Tower downtown Manhattan. Hurry man!!"

After paying for the taxi he runs into the building, into the receptionist, and asked for Catalina's office.

"Hi good morning. I'm here for an interview and I have an appointment at 8 am with Ms. Anderson."

The receptionist looked at him and assessing his features. Then she put on her sweetest smile. She flicks her hair.

The "Oh' you can go to Ms. Anderson's office through that elevator on the 19th floor. Asked Alice, she's her assistant."

"Okay. Thank you very much. You have a good day." Then he winks at her.

He runs to the elevator and presses the button on the 19th floor. He heard the elevator bell sound and he reaches the floor. When the elevator opens to the 19th floor, Steffan gasp in surprise, at the splendid sight of the lobby. Unmistakably, whatever is below is just a security screening.

The floor was tiled in fine marble, which made every step echo. A chandelier made rainbow colors dance across the luxurious lobby. Embroidered silk sofas surrounded a large, flat-screen television. The twin doors that led into the lobby were a pristine white with golden handles. The receptionist's desk was made of amber-colored wood and a green granite top. Exquisite paintings hung from rich, red walls. Even the door hinges were engraved with swirls and elegant designs. The domed ceiling rose at least 100 feet high.
