With Giuliana’s presence, Alice did not dare to act rashly, so he passed her the glass of coffee and said softly, -Giuliana, here I have coffee ready.
He looked at her happily and smiled, -All right, now hand out the documents.
Alice took them, -Okay.
In front of her, Alice had to act like a novice to hide her purpose, because once revealed, she would run the risk of being fired.
When Alice left with the documents, Giuliana left with the coffee for Kennedy’s office.
-Go ahead.
Thinking it was Alice, the strange woman who served him the coffee, Kennedy did not raise his head until Giuliana put the coffee on his desk.
He looked at the coffee, whose special flavor reminded him of Alice, whom he asked to pour him one more cup because he was addicted to its taste.
But it was not she who came, but Giuliana.
“Did she prepare it?” thought Kennedy, crestfallen.
Giuliana interrupted him, “Mr. Kennedy, the coffee is hot.
She called him Mr. Kennedy to distinguish him from Mr. Jorge, who had been managing the company for a long time before his presidential position.
Kennedy drank the coffee and was happy because it was the flavor he was addicted to.
“Then I’ll ask Giuliana to pour my coffee so that woman won’t be too flattered.” Thought Kennedy.
-I ask you to examine this document, please,” Giuliana passed him a piece of paper.
Kennedy finished the coffee in barely two minutes, and asked her to pour him one more cup ten minutes later as Giuliana was leaving.
“Strange, I’ve never seen her drink so much coffee – does she need it to increase efficiency or to scare away sleep?” thought Giuliana when she returned to her office, “But I see it in perfect condition today.”
Giuliana wanted to ask Alice to prepare the coffee, but within ten minutes she did not return, so she prepared it herself and took it to him.
Kennedy tasted it a little, and left it even cold.
Giuliana asked him, -Mr. Kennedy, I see you’ve been drinking a lot of coffee. Aren’t you resting well?
Kennedy nodded and asked her coldly, “Have you hired a new maid yet?
-That’s right,” Giuliana was pleased and said, “I’ve finally found a qualified one.
Seeing that Kennedy went back to work, Giuliana said, -If you don’t want any more, I’ll leave.
-Okay.
But no sooner had she moved two steps than she was stopped by Kennedy.
-Anything else? -She stood there motionless, curious.
“Today Mr. Kennedy is a little strange, because he is never interested as today in asking me about the maid.” Giuliana thought.
With a gold-colored pen in his hand, Kennedy told her softly, -You are the important person both for my grandfather and for the company, your duty is to deal with the priority matters, as for the trivial ones… -stopped Kennedy, with a mystical darkness shining in his eyes, -That you entrust them to others.
Surprised by his unexpected tenderness, Giuliana smiled, “Anyway, I am still your secretary, with or without Mr. Jorge Carlos, I have to fulfill my duties.
-Do as I say, otherwise my grandfather will reproach me.
“Who would have thought that a haughty and indifferent man like him would have been so sympathetic and understood?” thought Giuliana.
When he returned to the office, Giuliana became very happy at his words, murmuring, “A man as perfect as he is both charming and understood!”
While Alice continued to hand out the documents. It took her a long time because she didn’t know the locations very well, and one of the employees had even guided her to the wrong address, then she had to go the double route.
“Then I’ll have to memorize the locations so I don’t get lost again next time.” She thought, feeling indignant at his mockery of her pointing her in the wrong direction, which often happened in large companies, where everyone cared only about their own.
When she finally returned to the office, Alice apologized to Giuliana for the delay, -Sorry, Giuliana, I don’t know the locations very well, that’s why I’m late. Anything else I can help you with?
Seeing her with swollen legs and a pale face, Giuliana shook her head negatively, -I think there will be nothing important for now, get some rest and be informed about the company.
-Okay.
A few hours later, he was finally able to finish today’s work.
Giuliana stroked his shoulder smiling, -You work well today. I see you with a lot of aspiration, keep your passion to get the official job. You will replace me when I retire.
Alice was stunned by his words, she said, -I have still missed a lot.
In fact, she didn’t know how long she would stay here. Her purpose was simply to recover Kennedy’s memory and leave with him.
Until then, it would not do to stay here.
Alice came home tired.
As soon as she sat down, she called Jack.
-Mom,” said Jack, pleased and happy.
Alice felt the same way about his smile.
