Xenia
Mr Reynolds had called me into his office earlier this morning, as i entered,he greeted me warmly "oh, Xenia it's so good to see you", I felt flabbergasted because my boss is never in a good mood he's always either having a frown on or yelling at a poor pathetic staff for a tiny slip up, i let out an awkward laugh "uhm... Sir, we meet every other day, so what exactly makes today a good one", he spun his chair around and grinned wildly "well, today is a special day, please have a seat".
I obeyed him reluctantly,as i took the seat right in front of him, as he stretched out his hands "I have a job proposition for you!", I was a bit shocked but refused to show it, by saying calmly "what is it?", he began "As you obviously know, it's summer and all the news casting, the magazine creating and tabloid printers are all over town looking for the best scope in half year's celebrity gossip"i nodded, he continued "well if we don't get the best of the scopes pretty soon we're gonna go out of business", i waited for him to finish before i asked "so what exactly is your genius plan".
He pointed his two index fingers at me and said "I'm sending you to Cuba", this time i couldn't hide my shock, i let my jaw drop and my eyeballs bulge out of the sockets "What in the hell am i doing prancing around Cuba looking for hot scoops on the daily".
He chuckled "No, Xenia you're going to be going undercover to get the juiciest dirt on the most filthiest richest men in the world", i arched a brow "And that is?",he crossed his legs in a modest manner and calmly spoke "Ferrari Amadeo Leonardo", i chuckled a bit "that's a quite funny name though, but are you actually serious?".
He stared at me with a straight face now "As serious as i could ever be and i am very serious", i mouthed a silent 'wow',he asked "so what do you say?", i hummed in agreement "of course I'll take the offer but does this earn me extra credits in my pay cheque", he smirked deviously clapping his hands together "yes of course, as long as you get what we need", my eyes gleamed with joy as i assured him "sure".
He nodded slightly saying "all expenses paid, and accommodation is provided", I asked "when do i leave?", he shrugged "Next week Monday, by 4am you'll be picked up from your apartment and taken to the airport", i said as i processed everything "Okay," he gestured to me that i could leave and i thanked him and walked out.

During lunch break, I and Vanessa decided to eat outside the company's cafeteria, so we went to a cafe right across the street named 'British Café' pretty bold you might say, it wasn't too crowded neither was it noisy which was quite soothing compared to being choked up in the crowded cafeteria, a faint sound of classic music fleeted through the atmosphere making it even better.As I and Vanessa chose a table rather hidden in the café, she let her eyes roam the medium sized menu hungrily, I chuckled slightly at my best friend craving almost everything on the menu, she looked up at me and gushed "Zee... They have Scampi and Chips", I let a smug smile onto my lips "You're acting like you've never been to a café in your whole existence", she giggled a bit "well, this one is way fancier than the others I've seen", I roll my eyes a bit, typical Vanessa she's always blown away by the slightest things.
A/N:sorry for cutting in too much but i'm reallyyy terrible at comebacks😒. Expect the worse.🙂.
