Catalina's Dreams

Making up after the break up

I'm dead serious about winning you back baby. I can't stay like this seeing you but not touching you. I missed you so bad babe. I swear I never want to hurt you in any way. - Steffan ❤

I missed you too. I miss you kissing me and hugging me like this. I missed seeing you sleeping beside me. I missed making out anywhere with you. I missed everything and anything about you, Steffan. - Catalina ❤  

When Catalina came back from her 5 days' vacation in the Philippines, she is determined not to see Steffan again. She is back in her old self, a feisty and badass-woman boss in La' Belle. She is refreshed and recharge and she's ready for anything. No one can stop her now. She is more determined to work and her new baby, her lingerie collections are in high demand in the market.

Working women like her are her most likely target market. They have the purchasing power and the outcome of their sales is doubled up to 100%. Sometimes orders are tripled for a particular style and designs. She wants to focus on it and she let Mandy focused on the magazines but still, she has a lot of input on it. She will always attend their meetings, be it on the magazine issue or the designing team and stylist for the lingerie. She wants to be hands-on on everything. Any decisions will come to her.

And now she's back on board. She arrived on time in her office and everyone who saw her are shocked. She looked happy and different. But she noticed something different in La' Belle. Everyone looking at her in awe and keeps on smiling and grinning.

Steffan is now in La' Belle's office. In his own office working as Marketing Manager in his own department. No one informed her because as Luis says and explained it to everyone, Steffan is still an employee of La' Belle and Renaulthè HR department didn't fire him. Luis explained to them that Catalina must have forgotten about it.

So, everyone is thrilled to see their interaction in the office. Employees are all pinning for them. Luis called Alice to check if Catalina arrived already and reminded her to inform Catalina about their meeting in the conference room.

Alice buzz in Catalina. Beep..beep.. "yes Alice."

"Good morning Ms. Anderson, Mr. Carmichael asked you to join them in the conference room. You will have a meeting with the HR department as well."

"What? I didn't know that. It's not in my schedule today."

"Yes, Ms. Anderson. Okay, I'll go into your office. Thank you."

"Fine." Alice came knocking on the door and come in. "What is it, Alice?"

"Ms. Anderson, Mr. Carmichael scheduled this meeting last week when you were still out of your vacation. He informed me that if you came back, the first order of the day is to let you know that you have a meeting today in the conference room. And actually, they are waiting for you."

"What?! Oh, my gawwd. Okay, I'll go now. Set a meeting also with the design team and magazines team. Thanks, Alice." Then she left never seeing Alice's face. She is grinning and clapping her hands.

Catalina is walking in the hallway going to the elevator and kinda' feeling a little awkward about the stares she's been getting at from her staff left and right. She didn't mind it though. She walked right in time when everyone settled in their seats. Luis is seated near the door and she pulls a chair near him. She greeted everyone. Luis stood up.

"Good morning." She is not prepared for this meeting.

"Shall we start for our big problem here? I think it's about time that Ms. Anderson heard what is this all about."
