EIGHTEEN
Finally, the day has arrived, i thought it would never come, even if most of my time spent here wasn't a whole disaster, Carly was fun to hangout with, Axel wouldn't let me be, his everywhere i am, his like weird stalker, who would believe he has a successful company.
I was all ready for the conference, my bag was parked because first thing tomorrow I'm off. As usually i was on a white dress, i got out leaving my room, i locked the door.
Kindly imagine the character inspiration of Nora in this dress💖💖💖
Wow, i heard his voice, i turned seeing Axel who was dressed in a black suit with a smile on his face, i looked my door and faced him fully, i think he had a haircut, he looked nice though, i just realized what i said now taking it back.
You look more than beautiful Nora, he said softly trailing his eyes shameless at my body, i ignored his comment going towards Carly's room, i knocked and after some time she opened the door, blue suits her really well. it was a thin strap dress, she had curves for a woman who had a child, she came out locking the doors
Carly you look great, Axel said and she smiled
Thank you sir, she said softly then walked away, i walked away towards the elevator which opened revealing Maya, she was in a simple red dress, she literally glared at me then smiled at Axel, i rolled my eyes walking in with Carly
Axel you look Handsome as always, she said coming towards him, i didn't think his suit needed adjusting but i guess it did because Maya began helping him with his suit like the wife material she think she is, I pressed the 5th button the elevator doors closed and we were on the floor in no time at all. we got into the hall seeing a lot of people, Light music was been played, waiters and waitress serving drinks and their was few journalists and camera men here too. i looked around wondering who i could approach i knew no one here.
Ladies, you look stunning, Someone said, we looked seeing it was that man at the party who was frying crabs
Mr. Rodrigo, what a pleasant surprise, Carly said with a smile
Cal me Zane, He said and she nodded a light
No one would think your a business woman at all Carly
I'm not, she's my boss, sorry i didn't clear that up, she said softly
Oh, your the business woman, no wonder you always have this serious aura, he said then chuckled
Ans assuming you work with Axel, i asked and he nodded
Yes, me and Axel are quite close, we both began working as employers in Mexico, here we are now, his company is almost all over the world, he said , i nodded not showing how surprised i was
So you have done business before, i asked interested in this conversation
Were tight partners, he said with a smile
Axel those this every year, his a tough guy to impress but he believes people can make it with the right amount of work
Could i know what kind of business you own
Of course, i have an archietecturing company in London, i said confidently
That's nice, it's not everyday w see women handling businesses that's rare these days, I'm really impressed, he said softly
I never got your name
Eleonora, Eleonora Santiago, i said, he shook my hand
You must be really good at what you do, he said and i nodded
Yes, i always make sure my clients are satisfied with the kind of work they give me to accomplish, i said looking at his smiling face.
We talked a whole lot about business and he was willing to consider my company as one of the companies who could come to if he needed architects. after a while someone climbed the stage.
Good evening ladies and gentle men, on behalf of Mr. Martinelli I'll love to tell you thank you for making this conference a huge success , it's really going to help people in and out of this hall and hotel, the man and he wasn't wrong, this conference was going to help me even if i didn't like the fact it was because of Axel. The conference went on with a short clip on how Nex corporation started, his idea for the name was from one of his mentors, who recently passed away, not having anyone to take his lace, he donated all his wealth to charity and his business crashed. Axel definitely didn't come this far by luck, while i was trying to cope with what he did to me, he was building his life, i looked over at where he was with Maya, he also looked at me, he has practically been looking at me direction ever since he got here, he gave me a smile, i immediately looked away, when the video clip was over everyone clapped. Carly got a call on her phone, she looked at me showing me the screen of her phone i saw it was Vincent calling, i made sure she had his number in case, i gave her the go ahead sign, she picked leaving the table, i talked more with Mr. Rodrigo then Axel walked up to us
Zane, what's up, he greeted which sort of surprised me, What's up really as a successful business man that he is, i expected a formal handshake
I'm great, I can see why she's your V.I.P, he said with a smile
I'm glad you see it too, Axel said giving me a smile
Carly soon came back, she looked worried, my brow furrowed at her
Miss, he wants to talk to you, she said softly then walked out, i walked away, we reached the corner of the hall, Carly handed me the phone
Hello, Vincent, what's the problem, i asked in a serious tone
Have you watched the news, he asked, i felt confused
Why would i watch the news, i asked, i hated watching the news, first off it was boring and second, it gives bad vibes, i hated it
Something happened to your company, it's been shut down, he said , my heart skipped a beat
What, i asked confused, his clearly joking
You clearly didn't leave your company with trust worthy people and it was already showing signs of crashing , he said, my grip tightened on the phone
No it wasn't, i yelled angrily, Carly flinched, she moved back a little looking around
You need to get back, we would talk more on this, there's a possibility we could solve this , he said then hung up, my heart was beating heavily, if their was anything i worked hard for it was that company and a phone call about it been shut down, no this can't be, i literally ran towards the elevator getting in Carly couldn't catch up. i knew my business was crashing, i paid less attention to it, i had a lot on my mind i couldn't concentrate, i couldn't understand what was wrong with me but this conference i saw it as an opportunity, while others saw it as a distraction, my business can't go down he drain never. i got to my room, i tripped because of the haste, i took off my heels picking my luggage, i was about leaving but stopped, my flight doesn't leave until tomorrow that's too far./ who would do this, i heard a knock on my door but i didn't answer
Miss Santiago, I heard Carly's voice, she sounded worried, i sat on the bed recalling Vincent words, you clearly didn't leave your company with trust worthy people and it was already showing signs of crashing, that last word rang in my ear, i closed my ears as the knocking was becoming annoying, i took the lamp tossing it to the door, it broke then someone entered the room, it was Axel, seeing him only increased my anger.
Nora calm down, he said coming to me
Don't you dare tell me to calm down, you, i pointed at him, my eyes began to tear up
You did this, my company is shut down because of you
Why would you think that, he asked with a frown
Inviting me to this conference so as to distract me, you know my poor decisions were bringing my company down, i said, he shook his head
You're wrong, i knew nothing about your company been shut down, Just calm down okay, I'll help you, he said coming towards me, i placed my hand out making him stop
Stay away from me, I think you have helped enough, i swear your going to regret this, i said in a determined tone, he succeeded again in ruining my life, he destroyed the first one, I'll show him he couldn't destroy this one, what I'm i doing, I'll leave right now, i needed to solve this before it's too late. i picked my heels, bag and luggage passing Axel, he held my wrist, i turned to him giving him a slap on the face, he looked at me in shock, i was too angry to be shocked of what i did.
Don't you ever touch me, i said pointing my finger at him, i yanked my arm from his hold, i left the room, the floor then the building, i ignored the stares, Boarding a cab, i got to the airport, my mind went to my P.A , FUCK i totally forgot about her, i got my phone with my shaky hands, i texted telling her to board the next flight home. i knew it, Me actually been peaceful in Miami was just temporarily. Anything bad is where i fall in, I'm going to screw the shit out of anyone who did this.
