Married To My Brothers Girlfriend

Too Late, Mr. CEO: Watch Me Shine

Nieves Gómez

Kayla stood outside the CEO suite, holding a custom suit for her fiancé, Brennon. They had spent seven years building a tech company from a freezing garage into a billion-dollar empire. But through the cracked door, she heard the breathy laugh of Evelin, the newly hired director. Then came Brennon's low, careless voice. "The wedding's a PR milestone for the IPO, nothing more." Kayla's blood turned to ice. "She's comfortable. Makes sense on paper," Brennon continued. "But you, Evelin. You understand ambition." The betrayal hit her like a physical blow. She had written the core code that made him a billionaire. She had stayed up until 4 AM debugging while he slept on a futon. Now, he was mocking their relationship to his mistress and handing over her life's work to a woman who couldn't even read a data log. Seven years of loyalty, reduced to a PR stunt. She didn't cry. Instead, a cold, violent clarity washed over her. Why should she let him keep the crown she forged? Without a word, she pulled the three-carat diamond off her finger and dropped it into her bag. She walked out of the building, drafted her resignation, and accepted a VP position at his biggest Wall Street rival. It was time to show Brennon what happened when the real genius behind his empire decided to tear it down.

Beginning

Selena Cortez

"I'm excited for Señorito's arrival!" Clara said, almost yelling. I smiled at her and continued to arrange the ingredients needed for Miss Sanya's cooking.

"I haven't seen him for a long time," she added, what about me? I haven't even seen him yet. I wanted to answer her but I didn't want to spoil her imagination of Señorito so I just let it go.

"You know what Selena, he's not just super good looking! He's also kind! Like he treats us like a family member!" She said excitedly as she started to slicing an onion, without looking what she’s slicing. Now, I am starting to get worried, she might cut her hand if she doesn’t focus on slicing the onions!

"Lena! Clara! Where are the ingredients I’m asking you guys to cut?! You girls should be focusing on your task! Were in a rush! Stop gossiping so your work won’t take longer!" Miss Sanya said gruffly. I sighed and did what she asked us to do.

Clara and I looked at each other as I whisper to her,

“Let's just focus on slicing everything first.” She nod as a response and….

"Here you go!" I said after a few minutes as I hand her the big plate of diced onions.

"Once we’re done with the other ingredients, I'll take it here again." I said to Miss Sanya and she nodded in response. After awhile again,

“Here you go Miss Sanya…" I put down two big plates again in front of her, full of sliced bell pepper and peeled garlic.

"Lena, remember, you have a lot to do at the ranch so don't gossip too much with Clara!" She reminded me before I could completely leave on where she is cooking.

"Yes, I know Miss…" I simple answered her, so the conversation will end and I can go back to Clara.

The thing is I’m not really working here in the kitchen, so some of the chores to here are not familiar. I actually work at the Rancho with the horses in the stable. It just so happens that today Celestine and Samantha are not here, because they have school and base on what I heard it’s their exam day.

And since there is not much to do at the ranch as of the moment, instead of my mother coming here to help prepare the meals, and I want her to rest at home with my father, I volunteer myself to help miss Sanya and Clara.

I also want to see Clara, cause she’s not only my workmate at the mansion, we’re from the same school and also classmates. We are both in Grade 10, but we hardly see each other here at the Saavedras' mansion, like what I had mentioned I am stationed at the ranch while Clara stays here in the kitchen, that’s why I am trying to grab this opportunity to catch up with her however Miss Sanya’s eye is with us. Boo! Party pooper!

Well anyway I understand why though, there's still a lot of work to do since the arrival of Señorito's is a big event. Señorito only visits here once in a blue moon and people working here really looks excited with his arrival.

"LENA!" I turned to the person who called me, his voice sounds familiar and when I saw him my eyes widen in surprise.

“Marco!” I shout back as I wave at him as he continues to walk inside the kitchen as well. Marco is one of my co-workers at the hacienda slash childhood friend slash my schoolmate as well but he is three years older than me.
