Daisy: "Good morning sir"
__"Good morning Daisy, how are you?" he asked.
"I'm fine, sir," she replied.
"You can get me a cup of coffee, please," said Mr. RODRIGUEZ
. "Yes, sir. I'll get it for you," she replied and went to get it.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ entered her office, saw all the files she worked on yesterday, smiled, and sat down.
"She's still as hardworking as always," he mumbled and started looking through them.
"Wow, she did a great job," he said.
After a while, she came back with the cup of coffee.
"Here, sir," she said and placed it on the table.
"Thank you Daisy" he said
Daisy (Smiling): "You're welcome sir"
"Sir the meeting will start soon" she said
Mr RODRIGUEZ: "What time?"
"9:00" she replied
"Okay, I'll just get some coffee and then we can both go to the meeting room" he said
"Okay sir I'm going to get back to work now" she replied and left.
..
Daisy walked behind Mr RODRIGUEZ as they both entered the meeting room.
___"Good morning sir" the employees stood up and bowed
"Good morning everyone. You may sit down" he replied.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ: "So like I said before, I'm going to hand the company over to my son."
___"He'll be taking over the company as the new CEO," he said.
"Can I ask a question, sir?" One of the employees asked.
"Yes, of course," he replied.
__"Can Leo take over the company? All I'm saying is... He's still a high school student," she said.
Mr. RODRIGUEZ: "Not Leo, but Damon."
"What!!! Damon? Really... He'll be there!" she asked impatiently.
"Why is she so excited?" Daisy thought and scoffed.
"Damon is back and will be here tomorrow, so be ready, the meeting is over," he said.
__"Wow, I can't wait to see him in reality." The employees kept whispering before leaving.
"Miss Daisy, wait, I want to talk to you." It's urgent" said Mr. RODRIGUEZ.
He took the seat next to her and sat down.
Daisy: "Sir... It's okay, I hope!"
" Hahahaha " Mr. RODRIGUEZ laughed.
"No, the thing is, I want to tell you some things about Damon," he said.
"Okay, sir." She nodded.
"How can I explain it to you...? Damon is a bossy person, he doesn't take anyone into consideration, but he likes punctual people like you," he said.
"Me? We're all punctual, sir." She replied with a smile.
"Can I ask you a favor? " he asked
" Sure sir " she replied
" The thing is Damon is a little rude, so I would like you not to take to heart anything he says that will seriously hurt you " he said
" Okay sir " she replied
" And one more thing, please don't leave the company no matter what he does. You are also part of the growth of this company " he said
Daisy: " I'm not so sure sir "
___ " I'm your boss, so I'm saying now that you are. So please be by his side and I'm sure that between you two you will do great things in this company " he said with a smile
Daisy: " It's no problem sir. Thank you "
" Let's go " said Mr. RODRIGUEZ and walked out with Daisy behind him.
..
" I want this " said Arielle
" Little miss, I don't want your mommy yelling at me Okay ? " said the driver
Arielle: "Don't worry, mom won't yell at you. Let me go, please."
"No," said the driver.
Arielle: "Then I'll tell my mom that you bullied me on the way home from school."
Driver: "No, you can't do that!"
Arielle: "Let's bet?"
Driver: "Little devil."
"Thanks. So if you don't want me to tell my mom about you, you have to," she replied.
"Well, I'll wait here for you." he said.
Arielle: "Okay."
She got out of the car and walked into the mall ahead.
___"Hurry up." The driver yelled.
"Hey girl, who are you looking for?" The salesman asked
. "Nobody. I just want to take a look at some clothes to see if I'm going to tell my mom to buy them for me." She replied. "
First of all, you can't do that, and besides, you're still in your school uniform, so you should go home." He said.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to touch them. I just want to look at them." She replied.
"Are you here with someone? Like your mom or dad?" He asked.
Arielle: "Umm... So you'll let me see them if I show you my dad?"
___"Yeah, sure, so where is he?"
"I know what to do," she thought, looking around
. During the conversation, Damon came in with a little girl.
___"Dad" Arielle screamed and ran to Damon
"Dad?" he asked
Arielle: "Dad I was looking for you"
"Uncle Damon, who is he?" the little girl asked.
"Don't worry Jane I'll take care of it" he replied and looked at Arielle who was standing in front of her
"Come closer" whispered Ariel and he bends down to her level.
"Just pretend you're my dad, okay?" she whispered.
"Why should I do that? Where's your dad?" he asked
Arielle: "The thing is I don't want to go home right now"
Damon: "Why wouldn't you want to go home?"
"I'll be bored. My mom doesn't get home on time" she replied.
"You just got home from school, so you should go home, take a shower and then take a nap" he said.
"Where's your daddy? I'll tell him to take you home."
"You know what? Forget it. I'm going home," she replied and stuck her tongue out.
Immediately Ariel's driver came back in...
"Ariel where have you been?" the driver asked
. "I was just taking a walk," she replied and looked at Damon.
"Did she do something stupid?" he asked the salesman who was standing right in front of them.
"No she didn't, she just ran to her dad," he replied.
"Daddy? Arielle which dad is he talking about?" he asked
. "I want to go home," she yelled.
"Fine, let's go home then and please don't do that again. I don't want your mommy to kill me," he said.
She looked at Damon and placed her finger to her lips indicating that he shouldn't tell anyone and gestured to him.
"She's cute," he mumbled and looked at Jane.
Jane: "Uncle Damon, have you seen her uniform? That's the school I'm going to tomorrow."
"Oh really?" he asked and she nodded.
"Okay, now let's go get your dress for you," he said and held her hand.
"I love you, Uncle Damon," she said excitedly.
"I love you too," he replied.
Damon.
I forgot to introduce myself...
My name is Damon Rodriguez and I'm 27, yes, I'm old. Well, I just came back from Korea after so many years of college.
Dad wants me to take over the company and that's what's going to happen tomorrow.
I'm cute, no doubt, and that's what makes girls chase me, but I get tired of it very quickly.
Should I say that? Well, I have a girlfriend, or rather a fiancée.
That's enough for now, I'll go get Jane her dress before she starts screaming.
"Arielle Mom is back!!" Daisy shouted.
"Why is the house so quiet, is she asleep?" she thought and ran up the stairs.
She arrived at Arielle's room and opened the door, only to see her sleeping.
She quietly closed the door and went to her room.
She took a shower and went downstairs to eat dinner.
"Did Arielle do her homework?" she asked the maid.
Laura: "No ma'am. She said she wanted you to help her with it."
Daisy: "Did she eat anything?"
"She just had a cup of milk. She said she wasn't hungry," Laura replied.
"Make her food, I'll be back," she said and went to Arielle's room.
"Arielle Mom is here," she said and touched her face.
"hmmm" She said sleepily
Daisy: "Aren't you hungry?"
Arielle: "I was waiting for you."
"Please don't do that again. You don't even know when I'm supposed to be home," she said and carried her up.
Arielle: "Mom, I want to ask you something," she said and kissed her cheek.
"You can tell me what you want after we finish eating, okay," she said.
"Okay mom, I love you." Ariel happily replied.
Daisy: "I love you too. Here's a meat platter, eat up, honey."
Arielle: "That doesn't mean I won't ask for what I want."
"I know right," Daisy said and laughed.
..
After the meal, they were both in Arielle's room, doing her homework when Arielle spoke.
Arielle: "Mom, can I tell you what I want now?" "
Let's finish this first," Daisy replied.
When they were done, she looked at Ariel with a questioning look.
Arielle: "What?"
Daisy: "Ariel, Levi told me what you did."
"I'm sorry," she mumbled.
Daisy: "What if something had happened to you, huh? Do you think Mom can live without you?"
"No, I didn't mean to hit her. She just kept calling me names, so I had to teach her a lesson," Arielle replied
. Daisy: "Wait, what? You got into a fight again?"
Arielle: "Oh, isn't that what talk is about?"
Daisy sighed
"I'm sorry Mom, but she kept saying I don't have a daddy" said Arielle
Daisy: "That doesn't mean you should fight!"
Arielle' "I'm sorry Mom, but she just...
" "There you go again, you can't apologize without saying but" she said
"I'm sorry Mom" said Arielle
She already started to cry.
"Come here. Please don't do that again" said Daisy and kissed her.
"What did you do at the mall?" she asked.
"I just wanted to check out a dress" replied Arielle
"And you ran up to a stranger, and called him Daddy?" she asked
Arielle: "They didn't want me to look at them unless I was with someone"
Daisy: "And what was his name?" Arielle: "
I don't know, but he was really handsome. I think you should marry him."
Daisy: " Hahahaha . Do you think I can just marry anyone?"
"If I were an adult, I would have married him," Arielle replied, smiling.
"Yeah, you can marry him when you become an adult, but right now you're not," she said.
"I'm your daughter, Mom, and I know I'm cute, so don't worry. When I'm an adult, I'll be so pretty, even prettier than you," she said.
Daisy started tickling her and she laughed. Daisy read her bedtime stories until she fell asleep.
"I love you so much" she mumbled and kissed his head before leaving...
___"Let me go!! I don't want to!!" she screamed
___"We've been dating for a while now, you should allow me to do this" the voice said
___"Let me go, please" she screamed and opened her eyes panting heavily.
"I hate you" she screamed.
She had that same nightmare again. Her worst memories won't go away.
She checked the time and it was already 6:30.
She got up, brushed her teeth, took a shower, got dressed before going to Arielle's room.
She saw Laura getting her ready for school and Arielle asking so many questions as usual.
Laura: "Good morning madam"
"Good morning and how was your night?" she asked
"It was good madam" Laura replied
Arielle: "Good morning mom"
Daisy: "Good morning sweetheart"
"I will do it, you can go do something else" she said.
"Thank you madam" Laura said and went out
Daisy: "Did you dream about mommy?"
"Yes" Ariel replied
"What did you dream about?" she asked.
"You took me shopping in my dream" she replied and twisted her lips
"I know you want to go shopping, but don't worry mommy will do that for you on Saturday" she said.
"You are so cute" Daisy said and helped her with her backpack and they went downstairs for breakfast...
"I will drop her off at school on my way, so don't worry" she said to the driver.
"Okay, ma'am," he replied and went back inside.
They got into the car and sped off.
"Remember you promised Mom you wouldn't fight with anyone," Daisy said when they arrived at school.
Arielle: "I didn't promise," she replied .
Daisy: "Really?"
"I didn't promise, Mom," she replied and got out of the car.
Daisy: "What kind of girl are you?"
"I got that from you, don't forget," she said.
"I'm going to talk to your teacher," she said and went to the teachers' office.
..
"Hello, ma'am," Arielle's class teacher said.
Daisy: "Please make sure she doesn't fight with anyone today."
"I'll gladly do it, ma'am, but Arielle never accepts defeat," said the teacher.
"I know that, but please try. I'll go now, bye," she said and left
.
Damon walked into the office like the boss he is, and the employees couldn't stop admiring him.
"OMG!! He's so cute
," "Oh, I love him already," another said.
"Just look over here, please.
" "Nice," Damon mumbled and smiled.
He walked past Daisy's office, and no one was there.
He went into the office and looked around.
Daisy came back after getting some coffee.
"Daisy, the new boss is here," Joel said
. "What, really?" she asked and quickly walked into the office.
"Hello sir" she said
"Get out" he said with a cold but gentle voice
Daisy: "Huh?"
___"I said to go out and knock before you come in" he shouted and she flinched.
"9.... Okay sir" She answered and went out.
She knocked on the door once and went in.
Damon: "Were you allowed in? Get out"
She went out...
She knocked again, but got no answer. She did the same thing again.
She looked at him through the clear glass and saw him sitting down.
"Is he going to let me in or not?" she mumbled and kept knocking.
After 20 minutes of standing and knocking, she finally heard him say to come in.
"You should knock next time or you could end up standing there for an hour" he said.
"He's exactly what his father described," she thought.
"So who are you in the company?" he asked.
"My name is Daisy Miller and I'm...
Damon: "I don't care what your name is, all I asked was what 's your position in the company?"
"Oh... Um... I was your father's secretary," she replied.
"Aren't you supposed to get me a cup of coffee as a secretary?" he asked with a devilish grin.
"Yes, sir," she replied and walked out.
"Here it is, sir," she said and put it on the table.
He took a sip and looked at her.
"What?" he asked.
"Sir, the employees are in the meeting room," she said.
"And? Are they waiting for me?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, they are here and they want to give you a warm welcome," she replied with a smile.
He stood up and walked in front of her and turned around.
"Are you the boss now? Aren't you supposed to be among the employees?" he asked.
"Yes, I am. I just wanted you to...
" "Shut up," he said and walked out.
"Seriously?" she muttered angrily and followed him.
..
___"Hello, sir." They stood up and bowed.
"As you all know, I'm the new CEO. My father won't be coming to the company anymore," he said and looked at them.
"What's funny?" he asked the girl who couldn't stop smiling.
"Nothing, sir," she replied.
___"As I was saying, he won't be coming back here anymore, and you have to remember that I'm nothing like my father. I'm different from him. There will be new rules, and if I see your teeth again while I'm talking, you're fired."
"Sorry, sir," she mumbled.
___"Good. The girl over there will print the rules later."
Daisy: "My name is Daisy, sir."
"I don't care," he replied as everyone stared at him with their mouths open.
"Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will be immediately fired," he said and left.
___"What's this?" I almost had a heart attack "
___" He was so scary when he asked me why I was smiling. "
__ "He's still handsome"
Daisy looked at them strangely before leaving.
..
"Sir these are some files I was working on yesterday" she said and handed him the files.
"You can go" he replied and she left.
"It's time to work" he mumbled and loosened his tie.
..
After so many hours of work, he refused to give them a break, the working hours finally ended.
Daisy was in cloud nine when the landline phone rang
___ "Come to my office now" he said and dropped the phone.
"Come to my office now.. Mr. Grumpy" Daisy mimicked and walked in.
..
"Sir, you called me" she said when she walked in.
"Yeah. Work on these files when you get home" he said giving her the folders
"Sir, I'm really tired and I'm so sorry I can't do it at home" she replied.
Damon: "Why are you pregnant?"
___"No I'm not!!!!!" she yelled
"It's either you take them home or you can do it here now" he said
Daisy: "Sir, I really have something to do. The employees are all home right now"
"You know dad told me a lot of things about you, but I guess he was wrong" he said and stood up
"I promise sir I'll be here tomorrow morning as soon as I can to work on them" she said
"Okay" he replied and sat down
"Finally" Daisy whispered and sighed
"You can go home" he said
Daisy: "And you sir? "
I still have a lot of work to do. I hate doing things halfway ," he replied and concentrated on the computer.
"Goodbye, sir. Have a wonderful day," Daisy said excitedly and ran off.
She checked her wristwatch and it was 6:15 p.m.
"Damn, Arielle is going to ask a lot of questions," she said before leaving the office...
Daisy got out of the shower, wore her nighties.
"All thanks to him, I've had a bad day. My legs hurt," she said and lay down.
"What a party pooper he can be," she said and whistled loudly.
"He'd better be careful not to step on my toes," she thought.
She was interrupted by the sound of her phone.
"Good morning, sir," she greeted after answering the phone.
"How are you and how is Arielle?" "Mr. RODRIGUEZ asked
__"We're fine, sir, thank you," she replied.
__"How was it?"
__"How was what?"
__"His first day at work," he replied
__"Sir, I'm not going to lie to you, but it was stressful, he didn't even give us a break," she replied
__"I know he can seem a little complicated, but don't worry, tomorrow won't be like this," he said.
__"How sure are you, sir?"
__"I know him so well, and don't worry, I'll call him so he'll be more lenient with you," Mr. RODRIGUEZ said, laughing
__"Okay, sir. Goodbye"
__"Good night" he answered and hung up.
"I'm so tired" she answered and went to Arielle's room.
After making sure she was asleep, she went back to her room.
"I don't want to keep having a stressful day like this. Damn it" she moaned and closed her eyes.
She fell asleep just a few minutes after closing her eyes, that could tell how tired she was.
..
Daisy left for work as soon as she could the next day, only to meet him already at work.
She sat up and started working without hesitation.
A few seconds later the phone started ringing...
"Why is the phone ringing? It's not even opening time yet" she thought.
Daman walked out when she didn't answer the phone.
" Ahh !!!" " She screamed when she saw him.
"Idiot, I need a cup of coffee," he said and turned around.
"Did he come here in time just to torture me like yesterday?" she thought.
She
knocked and he gestured for her to come in.
"Sir, did you come very early?" she asked.
"No, you're the one who's late," he said and looked at her.
Daisy: "No, I'm not, it's 6:35!"
"Good. You're the new boss, come sit here," he said and stood up.
Daisy: "No, that's not what I said, sir. It's just that work hours start at 8:00 and not 6:30 in the morning."
Damon: "You need to come sit in my chair so you can tell me what to do."
___"You're so rude" she mumbled.
Damon: "What did you just say?"
"I... I'm... so sorry sir... I didn't mean it." she stammered.
He walked over to her and grabbed her neck...
"Look, I'm not like my father and don't you dare talk to me like that again" he shouted.
"Sir, please... it... hurts. Hun" she managed to say and he let go of her.
"Get out" he said.
Daisy: "Huh!!"
"Are you stupid or do you have something wrong with your ears, I said, get out of this office!!!! " he shouted angrily.
"Yes sir," she said and rushed out immediately.
"Damn, I already hate this shit," he mumbled annoyingly.
The employees started coming one after the other and soon they all started working for the day.
Daisy was so scared of Damon that she preferred to call him directly instead of coming to his office. After a few rings, he picked up.
"Sir, please can I come to your office?
What do you have to say that you can't say now?
The meeting with VEW TEK company has been canceled.
Why?
Sir, please let me in
. Okay."
Daisy walked into the office quietly and he looked at her with a questioning look.
Daisy: "They're having trouble with their company and had to cancel it."
Damon: "And?" "
They promise to reprogram it as soon as they solve it," she replied.
"Okay, anything else?" he asked.
Daisy: "The OLERT shareholders will be here soon."
Damon: "I already know that. If that's all, then you can go."
"I wish I could slap that rude thing," she thought angrily.
Damon was still focused on his computer, after a few seconds he noticed that Daisy still hadn't left.
"Maybe I should just strangle her right now..." she was still thinking to himself.
He raised his head and looked at her with a dangerous look...
She quickly ran out of the office.
