rather, in this world, isn't that right, daughter? - Yes, dad. - I've even lost my appetite. My father is wonderful, he's always been loving and affectionate with me. He's never been an absent father in my life, even though his professional life is very busy. His only flaw is this: he always expects too much from me, he expects me to always be perfect in everything, and to please him, I do everything I can to be the perfect daughter he molded. ARTHUR CAVENDISH Another boring Monday at work and today couldn't be worse.
I'm going to have to take a good part of my time to interview three potential new secretaries. I'm pissed off that I've had to do this five times this year alone, all because of Hunter, my best friend and vice-president of Cavendish, the name of my company that bears my surname. This son of a bitch slept with my secretaries and, after deceiving them, simply dumped them; obviously they went crazy and furious with him, which resulted in the poor quality of their work and their respective dismissals. Honestly, I urgently need to have a serious talk with this bastard. Unlike him, I keep my professional and personal lives separate, and for this to work I have made it my mission to never sleep with the women in the company. Even if I'm in need, I know that this will never happen. I admit that I'm a bit conceited, but I know that I can have what I want. I'm one of the most renowned lawyers in the country and I have the best law firm that is gaining a lot of recognition even outside of Canada. I'm proud of the thirty-seven-year-old man that I've become. I built my own empire by becoming independent from my father, who only knew how to complain about everything I did and who even forced me to marry a woman he didn't love when I had barely finished college. I
love him, but at that time he was a very absent and strict father. It was only after he and my mother divorced and my sister and I moved away from him that he realized the stupid things he had done. Nowadays, Auro does everything he can to make up for his mistakes with our family, especially with my mother, who he still loves very much. I come out of my reverie when I hear someone knocking on the door and I let them in. "Sir, here are the resumes of the selected candidates." Helena says and places the three dark folders on the table. "Okay; Please tell Hunter to come to my office in three hours. I want to have another talk with him. - Yes, sir, and if you'll allow me, I've already warned him about the women in the company, but he's simply adamant. I've been his secretary for eight years and I've become very good friends with Hunter too; before, he listened to my advice, but now... - Hunter is a lost cause, Helena. Although he's a great professional, he still has no limits with women; I'm surprised he hasn't tried anything with you. - She laughs.
