Aline pov

I spent weeks enjoying the company of Marquez. It was the best weeks of my life, I didn't know I can be this happy and it feels so wonderful to have finally found my person, someone I can proudly call mine. I was even introduced to his brothers and they were so warm and welcoming towards me especially Lopéz- we've grown to be good friends he's a very live in the moment type of guy.

Marquez loves and cherish them so much and that makes me want to protect them too. They're like the brothers I never had. They're like family.

"Aline!!!". Mandy knocked on my car door excitedly.

I came out and hugged her, "Look at you! Looking all pretty and God is this a new car?".

I nodded. "It's a gift from Marquez".

She gasped exasperated checking the car out, "That's an expensive one! I can't believe it".

"I know right? But guess what?", I brought out Marquez's atm card, "He gave me this to shop with".

"Oh my God! So that means we can shop all we want?".

"Yes!!".

She giggled as we entered the huge mall. We directed our focus to the boutique store across us while we gisted,

"Honestly I'm not speaking for just myself but for the whole department when I say I miss you and Mr Rodriquez friendship".

I smiled and thought of Hector. We've been really distant with each other lately, no personal discussions apart from businesses and meetings. I'm just his personal assistant and he's just my boss- no friendship anymore. It really broke my heart to see that he ignores me all the time.

I get it I hurt the woman he loves and caused her tears but I was his friend too!  I've worked for him for three good years,how can that all be gone and wasted?

"Aline are you listening to me?", Mandy jerked me back to the present.

"Let's just talk about something else okay?".

"Okay".

We picked out some quality dresses for ourselves and laughed while doing so until I sighted Patricia and Sophia together. The manager of the mall was leading her to a private vip space for her to shop personally.

"Isn't that Patricia?", Mandy whispers catching my glance.

I focused back on my clothes and Mandy whispers again, "Thank goodness she didn't see us, she might create a scene again she's a drama queen".

I didn't wanna laugh but I couldn't help it the moment Mandy started laughing.

I spend the rest of the day enjoying a visit to the spa with Mandy, after that I decided to pay Marquez a visit in his company. He's been so busy with work I didn't even get to talk to him today plus I missed him.

I drove to the headquarters of Fernandéz's global enterprise. It's a huge twenty-story office building, all curved glass and steel with FERNANDÉZ written discreetly in steel over the glass front doors. I walked into a sandstone lobby.

Behind the solid sandstone desk, a pretty young lady, groomed professionally smiles pleasantly at me reminding me of myself whenever I'm at work.

"I'm here to see Mr Fernandéz. Please inform him it's Aline- Mendes".

"Excuse me one moment, miss Mendes". She checks out a booklet and also made a call before looking back at me.

"I'm sorry but you don't have an appointment".
