AUTHOR'S POV
In the hours of the evening a low-key SUV drove into Harvard University and straight into a parking lot near a coffee shop. Vince comes out from the back seat, he usually drives himself but he's very tired today and had to call his chauffeur. Today has been hectic for him and maybe if this were to be something else he would have cancelled it. Through the rear entrance, he made his way into the VIP area of the coffee shop. This was once his territory so he knows the whole place like the back of his palm. He found a seat for himself and as he was settling down a waitress approached him but he told her to come back later. He took out his phone and called someone and said
Vince: Meet me immediately
He dropped his phone and rested back on the chair. It wasn't even up to three minutes and his female guard walks in finding and locating the exact place he is. She greets him
May: Good day boss
Vince: How's it
May: She's nearby
Vince: Bring her to me
May: Yes sir
She turns and leave
After some time Vince was dosing off when he heard female voices talking beside him but he couldn't figure out what they were saying not until he heard one of the voices ask, "who is he"? He opened his eyes and didn't even know when he sat up only to behold the face that has refused to leave his head. Now seeing her closely he thought she would be less beautiful but man, she's a sight to behold. Sure, he has seen stunning beauties but none is as captivating as this girl and if he hadn't checked her background himself, he wouldn't believe that she's just 19 and an African. She sat opposite him and quickly picked up the phone on the table, Vince didn't even know how the phone got there but judging by her reaction and knowing his guard well. He could summarize that the phone was a bait that hooked her to this place, which means she's here against her will. Well, it's understandable. As she examines her phone, her nonchalant elegance was effortlessly on full display. When she finally looked up again, he saw something. This is a reaction he has seen in the majority of girls and he will always get annoyed and irritated anytime he sees them react that way but this time is different because he feels like laughing out loud. He became proud of himself as he realized the effect he has on her. But the moment she speaks, Vince had to wonder if he was daydreaming because the way she bounced back to seriousness is really astonishing. He thought that this girl is obviously a feminist because her confidence is written all over her. He had wanted to suppress her with his identity but unfortunately she doesn't even know the Hollands. They were yet to start talking when the waiter from earlier returned asking for his order but he had to redirect the question to the girl before him but she turned his offer down. A treat from Vincent Holland himself was turned down. Annoyed, he had to ask again before she reluctantly placed her order which was the same as Vince's order. She is obviously trying to wave the order aside as if her time is being wasted making the already annoyed Vince angrier and when she asked him "what do you want from me" Vince who's already stressed from work and still had to come meet this girl felt like blowing up but luckily, he could control himself. So he decided to go straight to the point so that he himself can also leave. Even though she would be working part-time, he had offered her the same salary as the regular workers because he's afraid she would refuse the job offer. Her parents might not be among the wealthiest but he knows that they're capable enough to support her well. Thankfully she had agreed to think about it which means it wasn't a no right? As Tamara left the lounge, Vince called his vice president and gave him the update so that he can make reservations for her when recruiting new workers. Josh was surprised at the fact that Vince had to reveal himself to a new employee but Vince himself didn't even think much about it, he just trusts the girl for no reason and the spy he placed on her has confirmed she's not a mingler which makes him more comfortable.
TAMARA POV
Woooo!! I blew out as I'm finally out of the coffee shop, that was a whole lot of pressure. Working and calling someone boss has never really been in my dictionary probably because I have never thought of being in such a situation because I believe I'm pretty rich, I can make my own money, I have been making my own money for a long time now probably since I was twelve. When I take jobs online, my mom will always receive the payment on my behalf. She promised she will let me handle my finances after I turn 18 probably because she feared that making my own money will get into my head but little did she know that I'm too busy for that and even before I turned eighteen I started taking offers without her knowing because she will always advise me to focus more on my studies, so I decided to do things without her awareness.
