When Fate Lead Us Together

Chapter 2

I am wearing my heels in a hurry as I am going to be late.

Why did I wake up very late? It’s all because I decided to binge watch not minding that I am going to start working the day after. I think I sleep like 2 in the morning and I needed to be in the office at 8.

Picking up my car keys and bag I went to the elevator.

I think I am still not that unlucky at all as I didn’t get into a traffic and arrive exactly 8 in the building. I went to the reception desk huffing in not so unladylike manner. I take a deep breath before speaking.

“I’m here as the new personal assistant of Mr. Damon Sanchez” I said and the woman just keep looking at me with a sweet smile.

“Name?” she ask

“Caitlyn Laurent” I said and she type something in her computer before nodding.

“Mr. Sanchez is out of the town this moment so you must see Mr. Romeo Sison, his secretary” she said and I nodded even though I already know that.

She gave me her instruction and thank her before going to the elevator to the top floor.

As the top of the floor is where my brother’s office can be found and the only one who have permission to be there is his secretary Romeo.

A guy who is in his early fifties with a wife, 29 year old son with a 3 year old grandchild. And that is based on how my brother said.

Upon arriving in the top floor I walk towards his table that is just few meter from the elevator.

“Hi, my name is Caitlyn Laurent. I am here as the new personal assistant” I said and he nodded.

“Romeo Sison the secretary. Let me show you to your office that is just beside Mr. Sanchez then giving you the tour and a briefing about the company.

And just like what he said he lead me to my own office while explaining the absence of my brother as of this moment.

My office is not that bad, it has already its very own computer, a little empty shelves, plant on the side and a small couch.

I place my things in the table before we went out to the other floors while introducing me to everyone.

And may I note that I think I am now the most hated woman her based on how they glare at me. Is my stupid face brother that famous here?

But I can’t blame them, Damon can passed as a model.

“Hey newbie, take this to the accounting department” a bitchy woman said and when I look up it’s Nicole. I don’t really like her.

She is like that slutty, gold digger, family wrecker type of woman. She never failed to express her hatred towards me. I just take the files in her hand and went to the accounting department and give the files to the assistant as the chief of the department went out of town with my brother.

Romeo said I should take this opportunity to become more familiar with the company hence me being an errand girl. Romeo already informed me as what I should do as the personal assistance, but as my ass of a brother is not here I don’t have something else to do.

“Rough first day?” someone said and when I look around it’s Alice. She works at the marketing department with that bitchy Nicole.

“Yeah” I said and take a seat in front of her table.

“Typical Nicole” she said and I just laugh at her antics. It seems like I am not the only with hatred towards that woman.

“How long have you been working here?” I ask.

“Almost 4 years” she said.

“Wow, that’s pretty long” I said.

“The company didn’t pay you to gossip errand girl” Nicole the devil said and handed me another file to be given in another department.

“Let’s have lunch together later” Alice said and I accepted immediately.

Seems like I am already a few steps in making a new friend here.

The day go on like that with Nicole’s bitchy attitude. No one said anything else as they are scared of here.

I have my lunch with Alice and she introduce me to others working in different department. This company has its very own cafeteria and just across the street is coffee shop.

The day is about to end if this bitch didn’t showed up and make a threat.

“You’re just a personal assistant and nothing more. Make a move to my Damon and I will make sure you will experience hell” she said and I just nodded at her.

Seems like having a crazy, creepy stalker run in our family.

Once I told this Alice she just roll her eyes.

“She have told that to every newbie here. But be more careful as you’re working directly under Mr. Sanchez. She doesn't really give empty threats” she said and I just nodded.

Well I think this is more fun. Let’s see how long you can keep your work while being a jealous, possessive imaginary girlfriend of my brother.

Having a wild plan in my mind, an evil smile make its way in my face and this didn’t go unnoticed by Alice.

“What’s with the face?” she said looking creep out.

“I am thinking of a plan on how to make the table turn” I said wiggling my eyebrows but she just laugh at me.

We decided to have dinner together as she tour me to New York.

I came back in my apartment and it’s already 10 in the evening. I just throw my bag in my couch before going to take a bath.

The warm water feels so good. I stayed there for another minute before going out and change into my comfortable clothes when my phone beep.

I open it and saw my father message me. I immediately open it and read his message.

He wanted to know how my first day in work is. Even though I know that he already know about it. He may not be the CEO anymore but he still have connections inside.

I keep him updated despite that. He also invited me to have dinner with him tomorrow saying that I didn’t even bother visiting him first.

He also informed me about change in my surname. After my parent’s divorce my mom change my surname with her new husband’s surname after they got married.

At first I didn’t really understand it and just go with the flow. I once told my mom to change my surname back when I become teenager but she refuses.

So I go by that surname Laurent even though I don’t like it. But she doesn’t care anyway. It seems like she only have one daughter. I feel like a home wrecker way back in France.

That’s one of the reason why I prefer to come here in New York and after knowing about this without a second thought my dad helped me changing my surname back to Sanchez.

I just hope not to see my mom again. I hate her so much. And how I wish that she didn’t take me with her.
