Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Miss. Please come with me,” Rhonda said in a respectful manner. ALL of a sudden, the atmosphere seemed to change and everything was more cheerful than it had been a few moments ago. This shift in her behavior did not go unnoticed by Debbie, but she let the secretary drown in her anxieties for a bit more and did not offer anything else but a small nod.

“Crap! Am I going to lose my job?’ Rhonda thought as she Led Debbie to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, she stole a glance at the mysterious young lady who appeared to be tranquil.

“Um, Rhonda began,

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who you are. Please—“

“You don’t need to explain. I understand. So many people come here every day asking to see Carlos,“ Debbie interrupted her, a smile playing on her Lips. The secretary seemed to have learned her Lesson so

Debbie decided to stop torturing the woman with her silence. It was not her fault, after all, that she did not know her. What simply irked

Debbie was that the older woman should not have Looked down on people she had never met before.

Her reply surprised Rhonda. When people who had the Luxury of meeting

Carlos were offended by those beneath them, they often resorted to dishing out harsher treatments. The secretary looked at Debbie and thought, ‘Has she forgiven me so easily?’

“I’m really sorry. I won’t do that again,” Rhonda still apologized.

For two years, she had been working as a secretary at the front desk for Hilton Group. During this long arduous period, she had learned how to deal with problems.

After carefully considering her reaction earlier, Debbie realized that she did not mean to give the secretary a hard time. So when Carlos’ employee apologized to her like her life might have depended on her forgiveness, she simply nodded and said, “It’s okay. Which floor is his office on?” Then, she shrugged, and added, “I can go there myself.” Her tone was much friendlier than earlier. It was enough to reassure Rhonda that the mysterious young lady had no intentions of having her fired from her job.

She shook her head and insisted, “No, Miss. I was instructed by Carlos himself that I needed to accompany you upstairs.” At Hilton Group, the

CEO’s requests were orders that no employee dared to defy. In simple terms, whatever Carlos wanted, he would get it one way or another.

Sensing the nervous tone in Rhonda’s voice, Debbie could tell that she was afraid of Carlos too. That was a piece of information which did not surprise her at all.

The man wore a stern expression most of the time. It would be more of a surprise if someone claimed the opposite and that Carlos could not hurt a fly.

In Debbie’s opinion, most people feared Carlos Like Jared and she did.

Both of them, for the record, were usually hell-raisers. In front of

Carlos, however, they would quickly become as timid as mice.

The secretary seemed determined to do her job, so Debbie nodded and followed her to the 66th floor. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

As much as it was spacious, the whole floor was rather quiet. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that it was time for many employees to clock out, but Debbie sure felt like the place was as silent as a graveyard at midnight. Next to the CEO’s office was a small area consisting of several desks, and on the door was a clear sign which read, “Office of the CEO’s Secretaries”.

Unlike her presumptions earlier, five people were still working in the office, and through the glass, she could see a sixth seat which was vacant at the moment. It took Debbie a lot of effort not to exclaim her awe. Carlos, the CEO of Hilton Group, had six secretaries! Then it occurred to her that, as the boss of such a huge company, Carlos probably had tons of work to handle every day. It was only appropriate that he needed so many secretaries.

A man wearing glasses got out of his chair, and walked to them when us) saw Rhonda with a lady he had yet to meet.

“Hi, Rhonda. This is.

Although he could not put his finger on it, the man thought Debbie looked rather familiar.
