Entangled Romance

The sound of the alarm clock went off, a little groan was heard as the ray of sunlight which passed through an open window brightened the large room.

Cassandra, a mid thirty woman with blonde hair opened her eyes, her gaze fixed to the ceiling before her. She yawned, turned to her other side of the bed and picked up her phone, her sharp blue eyes on some messages which were sent a couple of hours ago. With a frown on her face, she sat up from her bed, her fingers selling through her phone and at once, it beeped reminding her that her daily routine had just begun.

She glanced at the wall clock next to her, it's exactly 7 am and she has to be at her office by 9 am but first, her workout will not be abandoned. Cassandra got out of bed with her phone placed in front of her, with a hurry, she scrolled through the screen, her eyes fixed on it and without paying attention to her surroundings, she hit her foot against the wall.

"Ouch!" She yelled in pain, bent down and rubbed her foot as she whined in pain. Immediately, her phone rang, Cassandra looked at it, quickly realizing that she had a meeting with some clients by 10 am, she sighed and quickly clicked on the receiving end.

"Good day Mr Simon" she said in a tough and business tone, her hands still rubbing her injured foot whose pain was gradually fading away.

"Good day Miss Johnson" Mr Simon said at the other end, "I am on my way heading to your office right now" he blurted out and Cassandra could hear the sound of racing cars.

Confused and surprised, Cassadra glanced at the wall clock with a fitted eyebrow as she wondered why he chose to come so early to a meeting that will be held in the next three hours. "I am sorry to say this Mr Simon" she replied, "You might be way too early for the meeting" she said as she tried to ring a bell to him.

At first, there was silence and I could hear him asking someone about his schedule plan. "You might be mistaken Miss Johnson" Mr Simon said at the other end breaking the silence, "We scheduled to have a meeting by 8 am this Monday morning" he paused, "Or did you forget about such an important meeting, you should have checked your schedule Miss Johnson" he said trying to hide his disappointed voice but Cassandra could hear it loud and clear associated with the shock that overwhelmed her.

Cassandra could not believe that she would forget the time fixed for the meeting, quickly, she walked towards piles of papers on her desk, her right hand flipped through them and her left hand held her phone close to her ears. Quickly, she picked up a paper, her eyes searching through each word and at once, she saw that indeed, Mr Simon is correct and she has mistaken his meeting with her second client which will be held by 10 am.

"No, no way will I forget about something so important" she quickly said realizing that she kept him hanging at the other end. "I just got things mixed up but that isn't a problem" she replied with a very self confident voice but she still could not believe that she could get such an important thing off her mind.

"I understand Miss Johnson and it's completely fine if you forgot, we are humans so it is normal for us to get so stressed out due to situations around us not to talk of a very successful business woman like you. That is why you need to have a PA as soon as possible, someone who has enough for this job and someone that you can rely on for reminders like this" he advised, his voice calm and clear.

Cassandra sighed, "Alright, I will see you soon at the office" she said and hung up.

With an uncertain look on her face, Cassabdra scanned around the table filled with papers. Simon is right, she needs to get a PA as fast as she can, she can't continue dealing with this all the time. Ever since her last PA got married and relocated to Florida, she has been having a hard time searching for the perfect PA who will fit into her taste.

"Well, I guess it's time to hit the shower and discuss that later with my secretary" she said to herself, placed her phone on the table and hastily walked into the restroom, the tucking sound of the clock reminding her that she has no time left to waste.

Cassandra Johnson, a beautiful and well energetic billionaire and owner of a successful company in the United States. A woman of thick caliber, a tough woman who knows how to get her way around business. She is known to be a no nonsense woman who doesn't tolerate lazy acts from her workers.

Cassandra is feared by all including men who worked for her and rival companies who wanted so badly to be like her but all to no avail.

Due to her lifestyle of no friends, she is able to live a private life and protect the secret of her success and company. There are certain times other business companies like her do face financial issues and as soon as they run to her for help, their problem gets fixed or they might decide to make her the highest shareholder hereby getting 50 percent of the company's profit.

None of Cassandra's workers have ever seen her smile, not her client or even her secretary whom people think she might be very close with. She knows how to keep people off her business and with all these, she knows what people say about her, they regard her as a heartless being who cares about nothing else but how to make more money but all that gossip doesn't affect Cassandra a bit. This is her company, a foundation she built from scratch and she is here to grow it to the best she can.

Almost immediately, she proceeded out of the restroom with water drilling down her skin. Not wasting any more time, she dressed up in a red gown, put on a black heels and her hair was brushed nicely with a little make up on her face.

Feeling satisfied, she walked out of her bedroom with her expensive black handbag. Cassandra glanced at her wristwatch and realized that she had fifteen minutes left before the meeting kicked off. Hurriedly, she got into her car and her chauffeur drove her straight to her office.
