Cristina, 21, a college student who works as a bartender at night and a cashier at a coffee shop during the weekends. Her family recently lost their house due to a fire so now they stay over at an aunts house. She makes sure to work hard and study h...
"I apologize sir I had to take the bus from school," I notice his body tense when I spoke the first three words.
He turned around to face me and he held his signature face.
Emotionless
I can't lie though he looked hot.
"School?" He questioned me.
"Yes" I reply.
"Have a seat," he sits down and ad I walk towards the chair across from him I notice him staring at me the whole time. I feel a bit intimidated so I clear my throat and take a seat.
He leans back on his chair and puts one leg over the other. "So," he begins to speak "Ms. Cristina, how bad do you want this job? And why?"
"On a scale from 1-10 I say 10. The reason is I need the money for my family. I want to be able to buy a new home because mine recently...burned down. I recently lost one of my jobs that was helping me pay for college expenses as well." I respond smoothly and politely.
"Very well. If you don't mind me asking what was the cause of the fire?"
"Well we don't know yet but many people are assuming something started it or someone ." I reply
"Well Ms. Cristina you will be hired to work as my personal assistant," he smirks.
P- personal assistant?! That fast??
"But Mr. Aguilera, are you gonna ask me anything?" I looked at him confuse.
"I trust you Cristina."
My face lights up in excitement and I smile. "Thank you Mr. Aguilera for taking me in. I look forward to working here."
"You're welcome Cristina," he puts out his hand for me to shake and I do. His touch is so soft I could feel it all day. I pull my hand away and walk towards the two big doors.
"Before you leave," he says and I pause and turn around "you will start tomorrow if you can. When are your free days?"
"Tuesday and Thursdays but school will be over soon and I'll be graduating."
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow at 8 don't be late." With that I open the doors and look around to see if anybody is out there. I look to my right and I see my stuff still there.
Great.
I pick up my stuff and head towards the elevator. The door opens and I walk in then turn around to press the star button. Reaching the main part of the building I exit and walk over to the bus stop. 45 minutes later no signs of any busses.
I though they passed every fifteen minutes.
I sigh and look at my watch. It's ten minutes before 1 and the sun is really starting to burn especially with this outfit. A black Maserati pulls over to the side right in front of me and I decided to back up. The window from the backseat begins to lower and I see him.
"Ms. Cristina do you need a ride home?" He ask
"Erm...I'm ok Mr. Aguilera the bus should be coming soon thank you anyways," I say nervously. I'm so gonna regret saying no.
"I insist," he adds on.
Well the bus hasn't been here in 45 minutes so I guess.
I sigh and walk over to the other side of the car as his driver comes out and opens the door for me. I thank him and make myself comfortable inside. "Thank you" was all I said. I give them my directions while I struggled to put the seatbelt on.
The ride home was silent and awkward. I kept looking at the beautiful scenery that I didn't notice I was home. "Thank you once again Mr. Aguilera." I smile politely and before I forget I thank the driver as well.
"Call me Alejandro when we're out," I nod and get out the car. I walk towards the door and see the car is still there. I open the door and I'm immediately greeted by little nephew. I pick him up in my arm and kiss his forehead. I put him down and walk over to the kitchen. I notice my dad is home early and I greet him. I greet everyone and sit down as my mom and aunt serve the food.
My mom placed the tacos in front of me. I stared them ready to devour them. We began to eat when my mother brought up plans for this weekend.
"Cristina your birthday is coming up and we want to celebrate it. We are inviting some family members over." She says in excitement.
"Mama you don't have to. A small get together would be ok." I smile
"You deserve it mija," she adds on serving the rest. I agree to it and continue eating.
"So how's it go cousin," Angelo ask. I wipe my mouth a take a sip of my jamaica. Everyone looks at me with anxious looks as I'm ready to speak.
"It went well...I am the CEOs personal assistant." I smile
They all start cheering and clapping. They all congratulate me especially my parents peppering me with kisses. I giggle at their reactions and continue chatting.
After the long chats I head upstairs and change into something more comfy. I take out my assignment of the day and begin to work on it. I finish my assignment and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I walk back to my room turning on the fan then heading to bed.

NEXT DAY
I wake up early and head to bathroom for a good shower. After my shower I brush my teeth and head over to the mini closet to find an outfit. I decide to go with a yellow slim pencil skirt and a plain black long sleeve. I pair my outfit with a pair of black heels. I need to make sure to buy work clothes.

I grab my purse checking everything is in there. I say goodbye to everyone and see that my father is already gone so I make my way to work. I decided to leave early in order to catch the bus on time. The bus arrives early and I hop on. Once I get to my stop I get off and walk inside the building. The receptionist gives me some key information I need to know before heading to the elevators. I click the button and the doors open. I walk in and press the floor I need to go. As the door begins to close I hear a man yelling to hold it which I do. I recognize the man and see that's it's
"Papa?" I question him. (Dad)
"Hermosa what are you doing here?" He ask in disbelief. He gets in clicking the button to his floor. (Beautiful)
"I work here I got the job here but I didn't know that you worked here." I reply
"What a coincidence. I left home early yet I don't make it on time. This is really crazy." He says. I nod in agreement but for some reason deep down inside me I find it very fun to work with my dad.
