Anya soon sent the letter of acceptance to Randy, and not long, he started working in her studio.
And shortly after Randy started working, Anya was immediately satisfied with his performance. He was as outstanding as his resume pointed him to be, and his abilities was greatly valued by Anya and the studio.
New ideas coming from him was accurate and innovative, and with him around, work can’t help but be easier and efficient.
“Lunch time guys,” Anya announced as she received the lunch from the delivery guy. It was a habit of hers to share her lunch or provide meals to her employees. She invited them to a table and they happily enjoyed their break.
The first time Randy experienced this, he was quite surprised. He didn’t expect Anya would be this attentive and caring to her employees. He never experienced this even at the Ambrosia. So Randy can’t help but marvel for the small gesture.
They were now eating lunch, and even though Randy wanted to act like he was getting along, it soon felt that it wasn’t an act. The people in the studio were very comfortable to be and Anya was both professional and kind to them.
They were also good at their work that’s why Randy felt respect for them, especially Anya. He saw how hard working and optimistic she is. That even though they encounter problems, she doesn’t falter and immediately tries to rationalize a solution.
“Ever since Randy came here, the work has been doing very well!” Jessie, one of Anya’s assistant, said as they chatted while they eat.
Randy smiled amicably at this.
“It’s not that much, the studio is already doing well and I am experiencing novel and essential things every day.” He responded with a light smile.
Anya, who was listening at the side, smiled at this. She greatly praised Randy’s work ethics and abilities. The two of them had been working in sync and they have the same line of thoughts. She couldn’t help but think Randy was perfect for the job and that the people in the studio greatly relate and understood each other.
Anya was very happy with this.
They continued working when their break was done. Anya and Randy was discussing the new plans for this months quarter, and as always, their ideas mashed and complimented each other. The two gradually became close and engrossed by their work and satisfaction for the work they did.
“I think this good!” They just finished finalizing the plan for this month and it looks very promising. They were all very happy for this eureka moment.
“Alright, I guess this calls for a celebration!” Anya announced happily. The people cheered, and Randy can’t help but be pleasantly surprised and happy as well.
They all went to a restaurant and ordered drinks and good food.
“Cheers!” Anya’s two assistant happily called and Anya smiled as she clinked glasses with them. randy also took his glass and the people cheered to that.
Their meal was lively and food was delicious. They talked about gossip and jokes. Anya would listen and sometimes say a few words, but the table was still full of laughs.
Randy felt this experience was knew. All of the places he had work with was very formal and strict. Having this laid back kind of environment, he didn’t expect it would be enjoyable.
A meat was suddenly placed on his plate and Randy looked up at Anya. Anya smiled at him.
“the pork cutlet in this shop is very good. You should try it.” She said with a smile.
And this, was one of the things Randy didn’t expect the most. Anya was a very gentle and bright woman. She was intelligent, capable, but kind. He had saw how she worked hard every day, and she was very different from what Veronica had described her.
Just like her gesture right now, yet Randy can’t think of it as flirting or seduction. Because after him, Anya would also give some to her other two assistants. She had treated them all very kindly. She seems like a soft person, but the way she handled and operated her studio still had proper regulations.
She was the perfect mix of lax and rigid. A leader but still had compassion. It is very much what a leader should be.
Randy can’t help but respect her even more. She was honest and tenacious with her dreams and aspirations. Someone who would work hard for all she wanted.
Anya was definitely not what Veronica said to him. He couldn’t see how Anya seduced Damon for fortune and wealth, when he can see in his very own eyes how hard she worked for everything she had now.
He then felt a sudden hit of guilt. He felt bad that he was working with the Ambrosia to conspire against her. Randy’s mood suddenly shifted until the end of the dinner.
It was time to say goodbye. The three girls took a taxi back to the studio as Jessie left something. Anya decided to go with them.
“You can go on Randy, we can do this. You needed to rest too, we will go home right after this.” Anya said to Randy as he insisted in driving them back.
Randy can’t resist Anya’s urging so he could only watch them leave in a taxi. He then went in in his own car and drove back.
While driving, he can’t help but think back to his plans, and the face of Anya flashing in his mid. He gripped the steering will, as his heart was filled with remorse.
He was an asshole, he can be wicked and cunning. But with such a pure and good woman, Randy can’t help but feel guilty.
He was having these conflicted thoughts as he arrived at his unit. He lazily swiped his card and opened the door.
Randy was taken aback when he saw a pair of woman’s heels in the doorway. And suddenly, their were frail arms that hugged his neck and pulled him closer.
“You’re home.” A woman’s coquettish voice sounded in his ears, her perfume strongly infiltrated his nostrils.
“Veronica,”
Randy leaned on the bed’s head rest as he smoked a cigarette. Veronica had her arms wrapped in his waist, both their nakedness was only covered by a thin sheet.
“How’s the thing you were doing?” Veronica whispered softly in his ears as she drew circles on his bare chest.
Randy looked down at her. He had been in love with Veronica for a long time. Ever since the Ambrosia took him in under their roof he had been enthralled with the young miss of the family.
Veronica was very coquettish with people, and she would charm every people around her, maybe to do her bidding. But it always works anyway. And the young Randy at that time wasn’t an exception.
Randy studied her face and he was caught on her net once more. Her kiss and caress melted his heart that he couldn’t help but drawn to her more.
“Anya, that woman, she had humiliated me so much. I had lost face with my circle and even in front of Aunt Amanda. I suffered so much, Randy.” Veronica said pitifully.
The man, who was whipped with her, couldn’t help but also be pained. Randy encircled his arms on her body, as she pleasured him once more. This side of her, Randy couldn’t resist.
He liked Veronica so much, and he could do anything for her. That’s why the previous guilt Randy felt for Anya, had been easily thrown out by Veronica’s moans.
“Randy, ah, avenge me. Help me get back at that woman.” Veronica’s voice rang flirtatiously as she grinded on top of Randy.
Randy gripped her waist as he thrusted more on her. Veronica’s moans heightened once more and it made his blood boil. At this moment, he felt he could die for this woman.
He grabbed her neck and pulled her down for a hot kiss.
“I will, I’d do anything for you Veronica.” Randy hoarse voice answered as he groaned in pleasure.
Veronica’s eyes glinted. She hugged him, her arms tightened across his neck, burying his face on her chest.
And with her head draped on his shoulder, where Randy couldn’t see, a satisfied smirk appeared on her lips.
