Chapter 12

These workers are beginning to get lazy they think I'm not playing. When it comes to work and money I don't play. As for Alonzo.... I think I'm falling for him.

After he left, I tried to keep to my work but I just felt uneasy about something. I decided to surprise him with lunch. Our lunch consisted of little croissant sandwiches and my pumpkin soup my grandmother used to make for me. I also picked up one his wines from the rack.

"Miss Marjorie, would you like a ride to Alonzo's office?"

"Yes please Simon, thank you!" He is so sweet, I see why Alonzo adores him.

"You're very welcome, anything for the future Mrs." Before I could protest he went into Lonzo's office and placed the call for our driver.

"LISAAA!!!!!"

"Yes ma'am"

"Please look after the staff until I come back. I expect what I said this morning to sink into your heads and these floors by the time I come back and don't let this opportunty be one that keeps you from getting a raise. Do the job right. I'll see you later."

"Yes Marjorie everything will be in tip-top shape by the time you come back. Thank you."

"All right thats what I like to hear. And it looks like my ride is here." I smiled at her and she gave me a wink telling me that she had everything under control

She left hastily as I made my way to the foyer. Simon helped me into the car and saw me off...

On my way there I couldn't help but feel like something happened that would change the course of our lives, but I brushed it off and awaited my arrival to Alonzo's office.

When I got there, that famous bitch of a receptionist was removed and a fresh face gave me a genuine smile as I entered the lobby.

"You must be the famous Marjorie Émelie. You are quite ravishing, I can see why Alonzo is head over heels. My name's Jordan Givens , I'm the new receptionist. I'll tell him you're here."

"Thank you Jordan, it's nice to meet you. So how did you know about this job? And me?"

She giggled and said, "Everyone around here talks about how Alonzo's attitude changed and his demenor is just different. He has pep in his step now. I see you've been giving him what he needs!" She winked at me, "And I was already working here as the coffee girl."

"No not yet, I'm keeping on the tip of his iceberg... And you did seem a bit young... and you look like someone I know but I can''t quite-"

"You're probably talking about my brother Jamal, he was also talking to me about you."

"Ohhhh, so you're the famous Jordan?! I was supposed to meet you along with your other sisters at our pool party this weekend but this is better. Well I'll tell you what, I'll meet up with Lonzo and I'll come back then we can talk more."

"Alright cool, see you soon"

I waved a simple goodbye to her as I made my way to Alonzo's office. She's really cool, and her fashion certainly is ecclectic. You can tell that color is a very important asset to her life.

My thoughts were cut short, when I heard Alonzo's booming voice, yelling at someone over the phone.

"Perché non potevi TELL ME MAMMA!? Sapete che cosa questo è come?" {Why couldn't you just tell me mom!? Do you know what this is like?}
