C H A P T E R 2

Theodore's P O V

"Bring my breakfast quickly, Ma'am, or I'll leave without it." While waiting for my breakfast, I joked with Claire.

You might be wondering who Claire is.

Claire is my housekeeper, yet she treats me like a son. She looks after my every need as if she were my real mother. My true mother doesn't give a damn about me.

"You won't even dare to do that Mister." She replied trying to sound stern and serious but ended up laughing as she retreats from the kitchen towards me.

"Now go eat." She said dishing my toast and some bacon and eggs neatly on a plate and pushed it towards me.

I sighed but dig in it and it tastes just as delicious as I always, I love it.

I checked my watch and stood up drinking my tea while she tries to knot my tie.

"Thank you, Maria. I'll see you later." I said giving a peck on the cheek and at the same time carrying my suitcase.

"Ok, dear, be safe." She shouted behind me.

The driver came to a complete stop at the holding facility, and I immediately exited the car.

When I stepped inside the building, everybody began working more quickly than they had been before they noticed me.

Of course, they must, because we all know how important this month is to us.

It's March, which means numerous contracts are coming in, which means more money is coming in, and I couldn't help but be excited and elated about it.

Not only will this support me and the company, but it will also benefit the workers, who will receive a double raise in salary if we obtain sufficient contracts.

There is even Woodley's contract that I have been chasing for many years already, but of course to no avail.

It is one of the biggest contracts in the industry. They award a contract every two years and I have never been awarded that big in my whole nine years of being in the industry.

But there is gonna be an exception this year, because this year, I have acquired more money and assets and just last month, I won the businessman of the year award which is a plus on my side.

I will do absolutely anything to get this year's contract, I won't waste this chance. If ever I can get this contract, my dream of expanding my empire will be fulfilled, Not only my Empire but also my family's name in the business industry.

Woodley's contract is one of the best in the country in the profit rate, aside from the huge recommendation one will get, is tempting, to say the least.

I continued doing my work while checking a list of recruit assistants.

Thank goodness, I will finally get a new assistant to handle all of my work. Hopefully, she doesn't behave like the others. I mean, I've had eight or more assistants in less than a month.

Who does that anyway, like really who?

Only me I guess.

All the assistants that I have had so far in the past three months were always shamelessly flirting with me after I have the one-night stand I had with each of them, one of them even went too far by grabbing my crot/ch and that was it.

I was so angry. The way I threw her out of my office and fired her, I'm sure, she won't be leaving her home maybe because of guilt or fear. That's for sure.

Of course, I am a one-night stand man and I never use a woman twice. Not going to happen. That's just not me.

Except her. Ugh!

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Come in" I said in a firm voice.

My new assistant, ms...Astrid, entered when the door opened. What's her name again?

When I told her she got the position, her hazel eyes light up with it, and when she smiled, it was like the whole room brightened, Damn... I was mesmerized.

That's the first time I've ever seen a lady joyful because she got the job, and she appears to be uninterested in me.
