Around 30 minutes later they all reached the five-star hotel where the party was going to take place.
In the whole journey from Bianca's house to the venue, Athena almost got a headache seeing how hard Bianca was trying to impress Roman. She couldn't help but frown watching how causally Bianca was trying to get close to Roman. On the other hand, Roman didn't seem interested in her at all.
He behaved politely and kept his distance much to Bianca's protest.
Back to the present, Kevin parked the car and got out of the car before rushing to open the door for Roman. Roman elegantly got out of the car and went to the other side to open the car door for Bianca like a gentleman. Kevin then came to Athena's side to open the door for her but she had alr
Athena looked at the man standing a few inches away from her with a scowl. She furrowed her brows while trying to process his words. When was she flirting? He was accusing her of something that she didn't do and it made her angry. She raised her eyes and looked directly at Roman was busy glaring at her. "Excuse me, what do you mean? I didn't flirt with anyone. I was just being polite with Mr Murphy." Athena finally snapped at him. "Really? But It didn't look like just talking to me. I'm warning you Athena if you try to do something like this again or do anything that harms my reputation then I won't play nice." Roman warned her directly. His voice was neutral while his face didn't sho
Athena quietly followed Roman into the tall building of The Morin Corporation. It was already past 9 in the evening so there weren't many people around. As they quietly made their way inside, the night guard came in their direction and greeted them politely. "Good evening, Sir and Madam. Is there any emergency?" The night guard asked simply. "Good evening, Rick. How are you? Yes, I need to collect some documents from my office." Roman greeted him back before answering his question. "I'm good. Thank you." The guard Rick answered while fixing the rifles or guns on his shoulder. As his eyes collided with Athena she passed him her usual sweet smile with a nod before twirling behind Roman while
"Good Morning, Athena! You are early today!" Rhea, the receptionist's warm voice filled Athena's ears as she hurriedly took her steps forward. She paused her steps and turned around to look at Rhea with a smile. The woman was as usual dressed in a pair of palazzo suits with her hair tucked in a perfect french bun. She was a charming young woman and many men from the company sought after her but too bad she was already engaged to her college's boyfriend. "Good morning, Rhea. Yes! Mr Morin and I are going to the newly bought company for a visit, that's why." Athena smiled. Rhea nodded. "Ahh! The Navy and Grey Corporation! Good luck then!" She beamed as she wished Athena good luck while showing her perfect pearly white teeth.
Athena entered the shop and slowly closed the door behind her. She roamed her eyes throughout the shop to get a look at it. The shop was filled with many expensive-looking pieces of furniture like desks, shelves, couches, chairs and different kinds of decorative items. Everything in the store screamed money, making Athena gulp. "Excuse me, how may I help you?" A thirty-something looking man came forward and asked Athena in an overly polite voice. Athena smiled at the man. He had blonde hair and a pair of light green eyes. Dressed in a pair of black buttoned-down shirts and tailored pants, he looked kind of attractive. "Hi, I'm looking for a complete office set. Ummm you know, desk, chair and shelves." Athena tried to put the appropriate words to exp
It had been a few days since Athena started working in the kitchen. So far everything turned out smooth for her. Even though she had to do extra work, it was still better than her previous job as Roman's assistant number 2. The staff of the kitchen were all friendly and helpful, they all welcomed her with open arms and made sure she was comfortable. She even made some good friends here. Ivan, Lizzy and Belle were a few of them. They made her work in the kitchen more fun. Sometimes she prayed to God not to let the main chef return anytime soon or let him land a better job so he would not return. As a result, she could continue to work here till her contract marriage was over or till Roman let her work anywhere but under him. She couldn't take his bullshit without snapping at him. Thinking of him, she remembered she hadn't seen him for three days. Four days after he brought her to
She didn't just hit the Roman Morin! Oh, she did!She was doomed!Athena immediately dropped the vacuum cleaner and started to laugh nervously while scratching her head. Suddenly she found the white marbled floor very interesting instead of the angry man standing before her."I'm still waiting for an explanation." Roman's impatient voice made her look at him. He had a frown over his handsome face while his arms were crossed before his chest. His brownish hair was in a messy condition proving he had run his fingers many times through it. Seeing he was wearing his grey sweatpants and a black hoodie made her realize he had returned a long time ago and was probably looking for food to eat here in the kitchen. She was so dumb that she
As soon as the huge front gate of the mansion was open, Butler James came to the view. His elderly face bloomed into a kind smile as he noticed who was standing opposite to him. He bowed respectfully before moving a little, making a way for Athena and Roman to enter. Roman simply nodded at him before directly going inside. Athena on the other hand smiled broadly at James."Uncle James, long time no see. How are you?" Athena greeted him sweetly while entering the mansion."I am doing fine, Young Madam. How are you? I'm glad you both are finally here for a visit. The Old master will be very happy." James replied happy-hearted."I'm good and please don't call me Young Madam. Just call me Athena like you usually did." Athena waved her hands while speaking.
After dinner, Athena chatted with Henry for a while and then decided to head towards Roman's room. Upon reaching there she slowly entered the room and locked the door behind her. She found Roman working on his laptop. He was probably on a video conference. Athena didn't dare to bother him. She directly went to the walk-in closet and brought her nightdress before entering the washroom to change. She changed into a pair of cotton shorts and a tee shirt before coming out. She brought the moisturiser from the dresser before taking out some on her hands and putting them on her legs. While doing so, she could feel Roman's eyes on her from time to time but whenever she looked in his direction she found him looking down at the screen. After finishing applying the moisturiser, she put it back on the dresser. She then grabbed her phone and played some games out of boredom. But even half an hour later, she still felt bored. So she got out of bed and went directly to the attached balcony which
