Veronica came home in a huff. She was fuming mad as she stormed to her bedroom. She screamed as she crashed and threw her things to the ground. She swiped the things in her desk and the sound of broken pieces rand loud across the room.
Lily rushed towards her daughter’s room when she heard she came home in an awful mood. As she entered, she saw the messy situation and her daughter red in anger.
“Veronica, darling, what’s wrong?” She asked worriedly as she approached and held her daughter.
Veronica turned towards her mother and buried herself in her embraced. She wept sadly.
“Mother, your daughter was wronged!” She exclaimed indignantly.
“What? Who dared? Tell mother who bullied you?” Lily inquired with concern. Veronica could only choke and complain.
“Why can’t it be me? Why?! I am much better than her! Even Aunt Amanda seemed bewitched by her now!” Veronica’s heart ached voice sounded.
Lily immediately got the gist of the situation. She sighed. Well, only Damon Castellano, could cause her daughter these kinds of emotions.
“Is this about Damon? What happened?” Lily led her daughter to seat on the bed and patted her head as she listened.
Veronica whiningly told Lily what happened in the restaurant. She tailed how she was kicked out and thrown out of the restaurant and in their table. How could Veronica endure this humiliation? She almost choked up in anger and frustration as she gritted her teeth while tattling tale to her mother.
“Why do I do now, Mom? It seems Aunt Amanda doesn’t like me anymore! How could this be!” Veronica cried as she thought of this. Only Amanda is her hope right now. She was the only major backing she had in the Castellanos, and if she lost her favor now, Veronica wouldn’t know what to do.
“How could that old woman want that slut more than my daughter?! Has she gone blind?” Lily said in dissatisfaction. She hated Amanda even more now.
“I know. Mom I need to rip Damon and that whore apart! I need to gain Aunt Amanda’s good feelings again! I can’t just accept this!” Veronica exclaimed as she arose from her mother’s embrace. She looked at her mother in determination. Her eyes sparkling with evil intent.
Lily saw her daughter’s state and couldn’t help but ponder too. She wanted for her daughter to marry in the Castellanos family as much as she did. If her daughter would rise in status and richness, then they, as her family, would share the good fortune as well. So Lily thought if it seriously too. She later had something in her mind.
“Mother understands. Don’t worry, I have a plan.” Lily said to her. Veronica looked at her mother’s face and saw that she had an idea in mind.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, eyes flashing with a cunning plan, and with a smirk looming on their lips.
On her studio, Anya had been working for a job hiring. Her business had been doing well, and her previous project of expansion had finally commenced. She wanted to hire more people, but first, she wanted to find a new recruit in her team to handle the major works later for the expansion.
They had put on a sign outside and an online hiring. It had been doing well as they had interviewed a few people now. They just needed to weigh and evaluate which one is the most suitable.
Just as they were pondering, a new applicant arrived.
It was a man in his mid-twenties. He looked fine and amicable. He had a friendly countenance and an approachable air around him. he was also polite as he greeted.
“Good afternoon, Ma’ams. I’m here for the hiring, and I wish to pass my resume.” He said with a flashing smile in his lips.
The two assistants beside Anya blushed as they saw the man. The man can be said handsome, as he was tall and neat. Anya also smiled at him and offered him a seat.
“Good afternoon, please sit.”
The man nodded and took the seat in front of her. Anya took his resume to scan it.
Randy Logan. 26 years old.
She was surprised when she saw his background and qualifications. He had a good educational background where he graduated in a prestigious and famous school. He had also a work experience which included good reviews from his previous employment. The experiences and attainment he had in his career was also outstanding. Anya can’t help but look at him in a new light.
“What makes you want to work in our studio?” Anya asked as she lowered down his resume.
The man heard this and smiled.
“As I had studied your work ethics and operation, I had been greatly drawn by the organization and structure of your work. I want a new experience in a starting but
accomplishing environment, and I believe I can find it here.” Randy listed more information about Anya’s studio and matched it in his needs and qualification. He also stated the benefits from the studio the drawn him and the benefits he could offer to the studio in return.
Over all, his answers were perfect. Anya had been greatly satisfied with him.
“We are pleased to have you today. Mr. Logan. We will get back at you about our evaluation as soon as possible. Thank you.” Anya smiled professionally at him. yet, her actions showed satisfaction to the man’s performance.
Randy’s smile deepened as his eyes flashed. But it was merely just a second, and no one noticed it.
He gave his thanks and bid his farewell soon after.
Anya and her assistants talked immediately after he left and discussed about the matter. But all of them arrived in the same conclusion.
Randy Logan was the perfect new recruit.
Randy went out of his car and stepped towards the brightly lit mansion. He walked in steady steps as he arrived inside. He saw the two women sitting in the receiving area, waiting for him.
The middle aged woman saw him and leisurely placed the wine she was holding to the table.
“How did it go?” Her hoarse but cold voice rang across the room, and her question was directed to Randy.
The man’s eyes flashed and he had a cunning smiled as he answered in confidence.
“Ms. Anya Laurier seems very satisfied with me. I think it was very successful, Mrs. Ambrosia,” He responded, with a light and crafty smile.
The woman stood up from the sofa, and walked into the light. Lily smiled satisfyingly at Randy and patted his back approvingly.
“Of course, you are very befitting to be my assistant. What more for that lowly scum? Do your work well and don’t disappoint me.” Lily said with expectant voice.
Randy returned a smile, with light in his eyes. “Don’t worry Mrs. Ambrosia, I will.”
