Episode 19
? Charlotte ?
How news travels fast, I wouldn’t rest with seeing Chelsea and I everywhere! On the TV, magazines, newspapers, even radio.
The billionaire twins have been found and now doing okay!
I felt so great to know I have a sister! It’s been a week that everything fell into place now and I can’t help but say Chelsea has been a good company!
We even went out yesterday to the mall with the same dress, hair, shoe, everything was same!
I bought most of the things and when I was about paying, I for a call from a friend so I excused myself outside!
Chelsea was left to pay! The cashier thought I was the one!
I just couldn’t help but laugh at how people kept staring at us and of course, Dad wouldn’t let us walk alone.
Thousands of guards were following us around!
I seriously hate the attention I was getting but what do I do?
” Hey sis ” Chelsea said sitting down beside me!
There are almost thirteen rooms in this mansion but we chose to stay in one together!
My sister and I! I so much love that word!
” Where did you went to?” I asked as she flung her hands over my shoulder!
One thing I like about her, she’s a free spirited person like me.
She happened to be the lousy one while I the call one!
I think that’s the only difference! Everything else is same!
” Went to Mum, I actually want to start working ”
Thank goodness! She’s gonna re-move the burden from me!
We’ve all agreed Neo taking over the company but he nee-ds someone to support him!
Not an outsider! With him being the CEO and one of us being the managing director !
That’s what Dad said! One of us must take that position! Like I have been saying, I don’t wanna work in dad’s company!
I wish to work on my own , have the experience of working un-der someone!
Just wanna make my money from my sweat not dad’s.
” That’s good, I am sure you have a little experience about company work alre-ady” I asked
” Yeah, I do and Neo promised to put me throu-gh ”
” Alright, it’s better that way so you won’t feel lonely when we’ve gone out ”
” Yeah thanks sis, but how about you?” She asked!
Well, I forgot! The news of Ryan’s Dad been death was everywhere.
He happened to be our uncle, how surprising!
And I heard the company I work isn’t for their family, the owner have taken over and yeah, we have a new boss!
I just hope he didn’t give out my position to anyone else!
I put a call to Jessica, one of my co-workers yesterday and from the way she sounded he’s a strict boss!
I pray I don’t get on his black book else, my little a*s will be fired!
I missed working my a** out so much!
” I will resume by tomorrow, I nee-d to be sure no one has taken my space! I can’t go looking for another job you know”
” Yeah, I get ”
” So?”
” So, you are gonna prepare me for my first day at work baby girl ”

?️ Chelsea ?️
I hastily rushed out of the mall, way to go Chelsea!
First impression at work is to get late! What a record!
I totally forgot I don’t have any office wear and Charlotte left alre-ady!
Her bags were just too scattered that I don’t know how to start looking for a dress to wear so I had to go shopping for some new dress this early!
Neo is gonna sluter me Gosh!
I looked down at the shopping bags in my hand walking very fast to the car when I bu-mped into someone!
” I am really sorry, very sorry I wasn’t looking at where I was heading to ” I said as I picked the books that fell from the person’s hand but he was quic-k enough to pick it before me!
I raised my head to see who it was! To my surprise in was!
” Noah?” I called! Oops! I think I miss him within the few days I st©pped coming to work!
The news that I impersonated Charlotte at work might have gotten to him too!
I didn’t do anything wrong by doing that right?
He stared blankly at me before hisl-ips curved into a smile!
” Chelsea ”
Wait! Did he just call me name? H..how is he able to know I am the one?
He can differentiate between Charlotte and I?
” How are you Chelsea?” He asked again while I sh0t him a confused stare!
” H..how did you know I was the one?” I blurted and he chuckled!
This isn’t funny! Not even our parents can differentiate us! They’ve called me Charlotte more often .
” You are still putting on your favourite br@celet ”
That was when it down on me as I glanced at my hand!
I thought as much! The br@celet! He knew I impersonated Charlotte!
” Oh ” that was all I could say!
” Can I have your contact plea-se, we could get to talk some other times. I am getting late for work” he said
And I nodded collecting his phone! I am getting late too!
I imputed my number and handed it back to him !
” Thanks Chelsea, talk to you later ” he said with a wi-de smile, gave me a pe-ck and dashed away leaving me awed

? Charlotte ?
I am very glad Ryan is no longer my boss! He do punish me for a single offense because I turned down his offer to become his girlfriend!
I can’t be with someone like him! He’s a flir-t and can easily break my fragile heart!
What I don’t wish for myself is getting hurt from a relationsh!p!
I settled down in my office excitedly knowing that my manager position was still intact!
I miss my office so much!
I opened my l@pt©p beginning my work! Jessica brou-ght some files earlier, the boss asked me to do it before ten as if he was expecting me!
And to talk of him, I don’t know him!
I asked some of my colleagues and they said he introduced himself as Mr J.A .
Well, I will get to know him soon right? I just hope he’s not a dumbas-s like Ryan!
The door of my office opened revea-ling Noah!
” Oh my goodness! Noah!” I skrie-ked and hvgged him!
Forget I don’t love him, I like him as a person because he’s such an un-derstanding and easy going person!
” Char, I missed you ” he said tenderly!
” I miss you too Noah, how have you been?” I asked
He shook his head smiling!
” I should be asking you that char , how have you been?” He asked staring at me!
” Been fine ”
” Naah! That’s not the story behind the scene Charlotte, I know you will tell me about it but for now the boss wants to see you in his office right away”
Huh?
” The boss?” I asked
” Yeah, you don’t want him nagging at you. He love it when he’s attended to quic-kly ”
” He’s that strict?”
” Yes , go alre-ady ”
” Oh! Okay” I dropped the file in my hand and headed out leaving Noah.
Why did he s£nd for me? Did he want to fire me because I haven’t been to work?
Oh God! Many thoughts ran throu-gh my mind as I fearfully knocked on his door!
Let it be something good plea-se!
” Come in ” I heard a cold voice and I slowly entered!
I bowed avoiding his gaze!
” G… good morning sir ” I stammered!
I know I ought to be queried but it’s not my fault!
” Miss Ashton ”
My head snapped at the voice! My heel fell off my leg and I staggered!
With my heart racing a marathon, my mind quivering!
My eyes fixed on the figure before me!
No! This can’t be, I am mistaking right?
He can’t possibly be the new CEO! Maybe it’s just his look alike!
” Sit Miss Ashton ” he said with a straight face as expressionless as ever!
Okay! This isn’t a mistake or something!
” J… Jace?” …..

?️ Chelsea ?️
” Goodness! I am tired of teaching you this same thing over and over again Chelsea ” Neo said tiredly!
Is it my fault I am not just gr-abbing it easily?
He’s been turning to different places on the l@pt©p and he expect me to just learn everything like that?
” I am sorry Neo, but can you take it again? I promise I will learn fast this time around”
He sighed and concentrated back on the l@pt©p while I smiled! He just have no option!
” When you are given a chart, you don’t use any word on the l@pt©p except the MS Excel! It will make it easier for you ”
I nodded in un-derstanding! He didn’t explain it this way the other time .
When you are calculating a chart or anything related to the work you’re being given , your full concentration is nee-ded”
He kept explaining on and on! I un-derstood most of them but not everything!
Everyone has her own special system of learning!
My br@in can’t take everything at a time! I will learn when it’s important.
” You are one of the bosses here and you don’t go about leaving despicable examples like late com…..”
” Oh Neo not again! I told you alre-ady, I won’t come late again ”
” Better or else I will get your a*s fired or deduct from your salary ” he rolled his eyes leaving my office!
” ptfjfh! You wouldn’t dare Neo ” I glared while he sm-irked
” I am your boss remember? So address me as Mr Ashton idiot ” he said and I scoffed!
” In your nearest world! Leave my office” I snapped pla-yfully.
” Your boss ? Infact you are fired ” he dragged me by the arm and I kicked him!
” Ouch! That hurts! ”
” I will do worse if you don’t leave ” I glared
He stick out his ton-gue to me and left! So childish!

? Charlotte ?
” J….Jace?” I called in a surprise tone while he still kept his face is expressionless .
H.. he’s my boss? Oh my goodness! I bec@m£ more nervous than I was the other time!
He looked so handsome and more responsible! His hair cut was just low like normal, his face looks charming but cold.
His beard well trimmed! Hisl-ips cute!
Goodness! I looked away immediatetly when I knew I was drooling!
Is it just now it he’s been this handsome? A handsome gentleman!
” You don’t go about calling your boss their names Miss Ashton ” he said coldly!
I blinked my eyes ra-pidly apprehending everything!
Why’s he acting like her doesn’t know me?
” I..I..I..am sorry Sir ” I stammered! I don’t want to loose my job do I?
” Sit ” he ordered and I hastily drew out the chair opposite him and sat!
I could see a wi-de sm-irk plastered on his face!
” You nee-d to sign this fast Ja….”
A guy said coming in! Wait! I remember him! He’s that guy that works for Jace !
His eyes landed on me and I could see him smiled!
” Charlotte right?” He asked and I nodded!
” It’s nice meeting you again you remember me right? ” I glanced at Jace who stared directly at me then at him!
” y.. yes, Arc ” I said and he chuckled!
” That’s not my name pretty, you can call me Sean! I am Sean ”
Wow! They really have names and just decided to bear those godforsaken names? I don’t even know the meanings
” O..o…”
” I believe you c@m£ here for something Sean ” Jace snapped and I shifted in fright!
Why’s he behaving cold towards me? Did I do anything to him?
I remembered he was the one that let me go, when Dad planned on getting him arrested, I kicked against it. So what?” .
” Yes, u actually c@m£ so you could sign this do¢v-ment. It nee-ds your signature ” Sean replied and handed the file to Jace!
He briskly signed it as I watch Sean whispered something in his ear while he sh0t him a glare and Sean cracked!
Really?
” Okay then, see you around Charlotte ” he said in a polite tone and left!
I wish it’s Jace that’s this friendly towards me!
I don’t know but I think I miss him!
My head snapped back at him as I heard a roar of laughter!
He’s laughing!
I thought he was being cold a while ago?
He continued laughing giving me a kinda look while I sat there confused staring at myself!
Did my dress in any way to-re mistakingly? Or what?
” You see the reason I picked interest in you from the very first time? Your innocence and loyalty ” he spoke up!
” You nee-d to have seen your face Char ”
Wait! He just called me Char! Like char in a friendly way!
Do not mind me, I was just acting up ”
” You are not mad at me?” I blurted out and he chuckled!
” Why would I ? Of course I am not mad at you ”
I re-leased the breathe I didn’t know I was holding for a long time!

?️ Chelsea ?️
I yawned tiredly as I finished up the work!
I thought it was easy!
There is a lot of work to do. I now know why those that works comes home very tired! .
With just looking at the as-sessments from the workers! I am tired alre-ady but I am not lazy right?
I will get used to it with time!
A knock c@m£ on my door, stretching myself for the nth time, I shouted a ‘ come in ‘
” Good morning ma’am ” she greeted!
” Yeah good morning! Why are you here?”
” Mr Ashton asked me to give you the files ma’am, he said you will have to sign before it can be submitted to Mr Kim ”
I nodded and collected the file ! I was told were to sign and I did!
Forget I didn’t attain education! I know what signature is all about and I have mine too!
” Thank you ma’am ” she bowed and left!
What I love here is the respect they are all giving me!
My phone beeped and I said it’s an unknown number!
? Good morning Miss Ashton, I am calling from the EFC station. Your attention is nee-ded right away ?
I chuckled in hearing the voice! Did he think he can scare me?
? I know it you Noah, st©p buffing ?
I heard him g@sped over the phone! That’s me, when I hear your voice once, I will know it’s you the next time.
? What the… how did you know I was the one? ?
He asked and I giggled!
? Your voice of course ?
? Meaning my voice is mentally sto-red in your br@in? ?
He asked surprised ! It’s not a big deal is it?
? Yeah! ?
?Okay, so how are you doing? ?
? I am fine, just stressed out from work seriously ?
He chuckled!
? this is just the first day Chelsea and it’s still morning ” he said and bur-st out laughing at me!
? I know but it’s tiring ?
? Don’t worry, you will soon get used to it ?
? So??
?Well! I called so you can have my number and ask for a favour too ?
? Okay! What’s it??
? I…i.uhm. I was thinking if you will be free by 5pm ?
? Yeah why??
? I… want to take you out ?
He stammered and I chuckled again! Did he have to stammer?
? Like a d@t£??
? Sort of ?
? Okay, I will be re-ady by 5 ?
? Yes! Thank you Chelsea. I will pick you up from work right??
? Yeah ?
.
……
? Jace ?
Seriously! I didn’t know she will be working in my company!
Well! I am happy about that, I will get to see her everyday freaking day!
That’s enough to make me happy!
I stared at her taking in her appearance, she look beautiful like always.
” Uhh.. you called me…. Sir! Is there anything you want me to do for you?” She stuttered looking everywhere but me!
She just wouldn’t look at me! Not even a glance!
She’s just too unique! Her uniqueness attra-cted me to her!
She’s not like other ladies out there, special and all.
I just want to stare at her till forever! Seeing her nervous like this because of me warmings my heart!
I cracked my head to remember what I called her for but couldn’t, I have forgotten! Gosh.!
” I don’t think it’s necessary anymore, I will call you when you are nee-ded ” I said and she stood up
” O.. okay… Sir ”
” Cut the formalities Charlotte, call me Jace. I was only kidding awhile ago okay?”
I said sincerely! I want her to call my name from her mouth!
Hearing my name from her mouth sounds like something special!
The way she pronounces it gives me an unending joy!
” Ok…okay.. sir…I mean Jace ” she quic-kly opened the door and Left!
I am now the type of man she will love to be with right?
I can’t st©p loving her! I almost gave up but not anymore!
Let the chase continue….. Charlotte’s mine!
