Lily's POV ( 3 months after hotel opening )
"what seems to trouble you Caro" I ask to my husband, as I took a sip from my strawberry milkshake "You haven't touched your food or milkshake"
We were both busy people, I was handling my family's company, our focus more on foundations and growth development, while my husband was busy expanding his, focusing more on property and businesses in all aspects, with shares and seats on boards of various different companies
sometimes I feel as though we are cheating on one another with our perspective businesses
we made time for one another during lunch where we would share a meal and a strawberry milkshake it was our ritual
"I'm sorry my flower" he replies lifting his head from his paperwork, giving me a strained smile "Blake has been giving me triple the stress since Tanner"
I pondered for a minute trying to recall who Blake is "ah Samuel Blake? the CEO of platinum designs?" I say as I remembered meeting him two months ago at a dinner welcoming him into the fold, after Dmitri appointed him as CEO
"Yea, for newbie he is doing good, I don't regret placing shares in his company, it's just he needs a assistant and he keeps sleeping with them or firing them"
"Siren's Song made a post about him recently, he has already made his mark in New York, they gave him the nickname of 'skirt chaser' which was definitely a fitting nickname but bad business wise
unlike me, my husband wasnt up to date with gossip and tabloids, he finds it a waste of time, he let out a groan of displeasure "not even a year in and he is already getting bad press, not to mention he is overwhelming himself, this is why he needs assistant"
"have you tried hiring one of your choice?"
"Dozens, and he fires each one, he is impatient, temperamental, and arrogant"
"reminds me of someone I know" I reply giving him a knowing smirk
"I have you to keep me in line"
and just like that a lightbulb lit in me, a mischievous smirk graced my lips, as the gears of my mind began to turn "maybe someone else should hire a assistant for him" I voiced out my thoughts aloud
Blake was a man who needed someone who was immune to his antics, who would discipline him but also had a the patience and the calmness to handle his anger, someone who was good and familiar of the business world
and I had just the person in mind
"what do you mean?" my clueless husband asked
"Ill tell you later I must be off I have an errand to run" I say hastily planting a kiss on his cheeks
gathered my things and quickly made my way out the building, the sound of my heels against the marble floor boosting my confidence, as I came up with my plan, but I couldn't conduct this alone
Valery was MIA as she was still adjusting and settling into her life with Lucas.
I decided to call Jade, my fingers crossed that she wasn't busy
"Mrs. Petrova what do I owe the honour" she says in an mocking tone, I had to bite back a laugh
"Very funny Jade, are you busy?"
"No I just got out of a meeting why?"
Jade was a force of nature, Ms. CEO, she closed deals and handled her family business with an iron fist, and I was gonna need her iron fist if I wanted my plan to succeed
"I was hoping you come with me"
"Yea sure where we going?"
My smile grew wider at her response, with her with me would help boost the chances of the person saying yes to my plan
"Paris."
