I served my breakfast on the dining table- delicious toasts and hot cocoa looking all good and pretty as the personal assistant to the largest independent advertising agency owned by Hector Rodriquez. My boss.

Jenna came out of her room all freshened up, even in her early forties she still looks like a beau. We bore a very strong resemblance to each other, after six years I'm just so glad she's finally at peace with herself and has moved on from the negativity of the Smiths.

"I thought you would've gone by now". She remarked having a bite of my toasts.

"I'm an hour early, do you like it?".

She licked her lips and nodded, "You've always been a good cook, I'm a proud momma".

I laugh focusing on my breakfast.

"You and your boss, tell me have you guys.....",she winks,"You know......",

"Oh c'mon mom you know that can't ever happen".

"Why not? you've been interested in that man for three years you worked for him".

I sigh sipping my cocoa. "He doesn't feel thesame, I doubt he even knows I like him".

"He's that insensitive?gosh".

"Don't bad-mouth him Jenna,I won't be tolerating any Rodriquez slander". I frown and wiped my mouth the moment I was done with the food.

I brushed my hair again and checked my whole fit in the mirror. I looked super professional for today's meeting wearing the sharpest charcoal suit jacket and white shirt. Mr Rodriquez will be awed.... Oh who I'm I fooling? he doesn't even look at me that way...

I sighted a bouquet of flower on the table across where I stood, "Jenna is this yours?".

"Yeah".

"Ooh look who got a new admirer! Is it our new neighbor Mr Jones? He's actually a very nice man and I heard he's single too, probably a-",

"It's not Jones". She cut me off.

"Who then? Raymond your bar owner friend?".

"No it's not him...... it's um....",

My phone rang interrupting her, Mandy my colleague and close friend is calling.

"Yes Mandy?".

"Where are you? Mr Rodriquez just entered,I think he's getting ready for the meeting".

"Really? I'm still an hour early though". I glanced at my wristwatch to be sure.

"The team changed their mind at the last minute, they can't be here before us".

"Fine I'll be on my way". I sigh and ended the call.

"Jenna I need to go, we will talk later okay?". I wore my handbag and pecked her before getting out of the apartment I bought last year for I and my mom.

I'll be meeting Patricia of all people today. This is the first time I'll be seeing her since six years ago we got seperated. I'm no excited or curious a bit to know how she's doing, her whole life is on the internet she's always on the headline for some reasons or the other. The Smiths are very famous anyway, I've tried my very best not crossing part with that family as much as I could.
