His Broken Beauty

|Seventeen|

I licked my dry bottom lip as I sipped on my hot cocoa.

Dear Mr Valekov,

Thank you so much for your email. Unfortunately, I'm not facing any difficulty here at the Hillcrest Resort for me to accept your offer....as tempting as it may sound. I apologize for rejecting your offer and I wish you the very best of luck in finding a General Manager and Marketing Manager.

Yours sincerely,

Ms Kings.

I clicked the send button and it was already send.
I checked through other mails from the new cruise ship that will be here in about 3 weeks from now.

I have that conference meeting in New York and..... Holy shit!!!!

Holy shit,holy shit, holy shit!!!!!!!

Oh my goodness!!!! Mr Valekov! Like, the MR VALEKOV?!!!!

he's the one hosting this years resort group meeting.

Holy cow! Oh my god!!!!

Breath Sophie. He probably would've forgotten about it already.

Yeah....

Just then, the laptop made a noise indicating a new message.

Ms Kings,

The offer still stands if you change your mind. Triple the pay and everything will be taken care of.

Looking forward to officially meeting you Ms Kings at the CEO and Managers Directing Conference Meeting next week.

Think about it Ms Kings. If not for you, do it for your boys.

Yours truly,

Mr Valekov

Oh my god!!!! What did I just do?!?

Its OK Sophie. Just breath....

Its fine. Everything's fine.

I dismissed the thoughts of that email.
Its fine. Everything's fine.

I ate my cheesecake and couldn't help the moan of delight that escaped my stuffed face.

Oh my god, this is so good!!!

I cut myself another piece before I felt full.
I finished my second mug of hot cocoa and decided to focus on my work for today.

•°•°•°

I closed the last file for today as I sighed out in relief.

Phew,thank god!!!

"Mrs Hernandez?" I called out and she walks out from the laundry room.

"I'm going to go change upstairs. I have to pick up the boys in a few minutes and was wondering if you'd like to go home now?" I asked her.

"Cause we're having dinner later with the Hillcrest family and we won't be needing you for the rest of tonight so you can have the night off" I told her as she thanked me.

"Go get ready to go Mrs Hernandez, I'll drop you off while picking the boys up" I told her as she nodded leaving the living room.

I felt a great pain in my hip bone from all the sitting.
The pain in my back didn't help either.

"OK Sophie, you can do this" my legs were numb and it felt funny using them.

I stretched out of my seat and logged off my account for the Hillcrest Resort Hotel app where all the higher members installed it in.

I might've given the idea of building this app for the company so it be easier where to look if traveling tourist or employee to the company.

I leave the page and closed up all my files as I neatly placed them back in my black leather file case.

Once I clicked it back in place, I took it upstairs with my laptop leaving my phones, and macbook charging as I uncharged the other macbook I have for Skype purposes to my parents if I'm away, checking in on the boys.

I take a nice warm bath, shaved and changed into a pair of black jean shorts, and a cropped white shirt leaving my flat tanned belly on full exposure.
I curled my hair and left it in a messy ponytail down my back with two strands coming over to the front.

I decided on white and black converse star ankle sneakers and wore my wristwatch and lucky charm from a Pandora outlet.

I walked downstairs, my small white Gucci handbag was hanging lazily from my shoulder.

I walked back downstairs with $1520 dollars for Mrs Hernandez, her payroll from last week.

She meets me sitting at one of the stool with her bags all ready to go home.

Mrs Hernandez stays here. She uses one of the spare guest bedrooms because she says its easier for her.

Its Friday evening, the boys last day of school before the weekend.

I might hire a nanny tomorrow and Sunday for the boys when I'm going to work because tomorrow is Romeo's birthday and I know Mrs Hernandez would want to be there for her grandson's birthday so I'm gonna let her go for the weekend.

"There you go Mrs Hernandez" I told her as I hand over the money in an envelope.

She stares horrified as she held the heavy envelope.

"M-ma'am this is too much" she says opening the cream yellow envelope.

" I know its Romeo's birthday Mrs Hernandez and I also know you've been wanting to buy your grandson that new bike on the papers.
This is your chance. And tell Rubinna that the boys will drop off their birthday present tomorrow morning" I told her as she pulled me in a hug..

"Thank you ma'am" she says through her tears, I pulled her in another hug rubbing her back.

"Don't cry Mrs Hernandez. You've earned it, you are the best grandma Romeo could ever ask for" I told her as she wiped away her tears nodding at my words.

"Come on, I know you're super excited for the party" I told her.

"Ma'am, I'd like to invite you and the boys to the official birthday party tomorrow. Today is his birthday but tomorrow night is the party" she says and I nod.

"Alright. We'll be there. Are you sure Rubina will be OK with that?" I asked her.

"Of course. She must've forgotten to invite you guys but we've already discussed it" I nodded at her.

"Come on, let's go" I told her as I grabbed one of her bags and we loaded the car.

I locked every door in the house and put the alarm system on active mode.

She gets in the passenger seat and I get in the drivers seat.

I pull outve the house and soon we're headed to the boys school.
