Nina Sinclair came out of her room all dolled up. This was her mantra to always be ready no matter what the occasion was.
Whether it was a birthday party, a wedding reception, a funeral, or it was just stay–at–home time. She always liked to stay up to date.
Her hair was perfectly styled, and her makeup was just right. She felt confident and ready to face the world. She reminded herself to pay a visit to her aesthetician for a Botox. Her face needed it. She hated lines on her face.
“Emily! My breakfast!” She called out to the house chef who must be in the kitchen to prepare her breakfast, “What’s taking you so long?” she screamed like a bratty kid.
She hated mismanagement and liked everything on time.
“Sorry for making you wait,” Nina who was scrolling her phone impatiently, looked up and was surprised to find Geena coming out of the kitchen.
Good, God! How can I forget about her when I was the one who brought her here?
“I’m sorry, Geena. I thought you were still sleeping,” this was the only excuse Nina could use for her bad memory. Accepting her poor memory meant to tell the person that she was getting old.
She couldn’t accept it when everyone around her kept telling her how good she looked with that perfect skin and glossy hair, “How was your night, Geena? Did you sleep comfortably?” Ads by PubFuture
Geena bobbed her head and placed a plate of eggs in front of Nina.
“I had a good night, Nina, thank you,” she also set the small container that had her morning pills.
“You made this?” Nina said after taking a spoon, but Geena had left her again. When she again emerged from the kitchen, she was carrying sautéed spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. There was a small bowl that had Chia pudding.

“No. Emily made all of it, but I just gave her some instructions,” Nina smiled with a nod and didn’t even bother to invite her secretary for breakfast.
Geena who was standing there, felt awkward. She shifted her weight from one foot to another, not sure what to do next.
“So, Nina. I think I should take my leave now,” she said with a smile. All she wanted to do was escape from there.
Nina barely glanced up from her phone while eating, “Umm. Hmm. Sure. Meet you in the office soon,” she waved her index finger to say her goodbye absentmindedly.
Geena forced a polite smile, “B…but it’s the weekend,” Nina loved working on
weekends but never asked Geena to be accessible for her.
Though Geena always remained available on the phone. Nina Sinclair rarely depended on her secretary when it came to her passion. Her business.
She could work twenty–four–seven straight without batting an eye. Playing with all the garment stuff was her passion and was the only thing she used to take seriously.
Except for her obsession with an heir.
She now badly wanted a baby to continue Sinclair’s name.
“For how long you have been working with me, Geena?” she asked the timid girl who seemed nervous now.
Ah! Nina hated nervous and timid girls. They always reminded her of Marissa Ads by PubFuture
who was also a coward.
“Ma’am. I’ve been working for the last three years. Why?” Geena was already. disappointed at the lack of acknowledgment from her boss and now these silly questions…
“Why? Do you always want to live a comfortable life, residing in your cocoon, Geena? Don’t you want to go ahead and achieve something that might be written in your fate?”
This alien talk was making Geena more nervous. She liked Nina but she hated
riddles.

Why can’t this Richie rich lady explain to me in simple words what she wants from me?
“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Nina?” She again forced a smile to her lips.
“Sit here!” Nina gestured for her to take another chair, “You are a very good girl, Geena. A hard–working one indeed. I have started thinking a lot about you. Something that can take you above and beyond and let you touch the skies. But it all depends on you. Are you ready to touch the skies, Geena?” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Geena who was feeling dumb nodded like a fool, “Y…yes! I… I would like that very much!”
No! I would like it more if you please be more specific in your instructions.
“Great. So now no question about weekends or weekdays. I’ll teach you everything that is required to conquer this world.”
“Conquer the world? Are we going on some war, Nina?” she asked her boss innocently.
This was the same lady who needed Geena last night to support her and open her heart to her. This morning, she was back to this kickass.
businesswoman.
“Maybe,” she replied vaguely, “Or maybe instead of sending you to war I want to train you to be a good daughter–in–law!” Nina said while taking the last bite of her eggs.
Geena thought she heard her wrong.
“Being a good what?”
“Nothing, silly. Just focus on your well–being and leave everything to me,” With that, Nina dismissed her with a wave of her hand.
When Geena got up from there, she wasn’t aware if she should have felt insulted because Nina didn’t offer her any breakfast, or a drink, or not even a coffee. Or she should feel honored because Nina was eyeing her for something important.
God! The first thing she needed to do was go out and eat something from

the first diner she would find on her way.
The old goat didn’t offer her anything.
No matter how heavy one’s bank account is one doesn’t have to spend much on common courtesy. Right?

On the other hand, after breakfast, Nina went to her room to take a look at
her emails. With the fashion week approaching everything was becoming chaos in her life.
With each passing minute, she was sure that Geena was the perfect candidate for being Rafael’s next wife.
A blond who didn’t have her own tongue.
She knew Geena didn’t have her breakfast and a woman who didn’t know how to express her concerns or how to demand her basic needs from her boss could never stand for her basic rights.
Nina thought with a smirk and then left a message to Valerie, “Rafael is getting married to someone. There is a new woman in his life. Interested to know who she is?”
With an evil smirk, she placed the phone aside and opened her laptop. The girl wasn’t responding to her calls or messages, but she would definitely respond to this one.
Valerie wasn’t a fool to let Rafael marry again.
