Chapter 54: Chapter 54
When Daniel saw Caroline entering, she felt the fire run through her veins, how is it that she is the boss? How could Yazahib allow this? Isn't there another person with the ability to lead? She questioned incredulously and furiously. She really is very angry, she knows that Caroline will do everything possible to annoy her.
"Good morning team" Caroline came in like a queen and greeted as if they were all her subjects, “as you can tell, the boss, Yazahib Meyer ... has put me in charge of everything,” her smile widened when she looked at Daniel, “so now everything you do, think or say I must know,” when she sat down, everyone in the meeting room looked at her seriously. It's not a secret, no one likes Caroline's presence, Hills is the best boss anyone could have.
“Well, I suppose you have a lot to study boss,” Daniel looked into her eyes but spoke with respect, “Mr. Hills already had everything planned and now we just follow orders,” she wanted to help, but Caroline did not see it that way, now that bitch will realize who she is.
"Don't believe me to be an incompetent person, Miss Lopez" Daniel frowned at her response and tone of voice. "I won't allow you to question me, here or anywhere else. I know perfectly how things are, but Mr. Hills is not here and now I am the boss for what you owe obedience to me,” she cocked her smile and without taking her eyes off Daniel said, “you can be the girlfriend of the owner of the company, but your position is that of an employee and for that reason you must behave as such.”
Rage invaded Daniel so she stood up and looked her straight in the eye, “my status with the boss does not prevent me from being a simple employee, but for you to touch something so personal, implying that I take advantage of this is baseness, lack of professionalism and respect at the very least. As the boss, we must simply make aware of our activity, but we do not owe obedience to you or anyone else.” Carolina did not hide her anger at Daniel's response, that woman never gave up and she hates that.
"She's right, Caroline," Derek intervened, helping Daniel to sit down, "you can't just walk in here and ask for obedience like you're a queen. Respect the staff and we'll respect you too, and in case Frank didn't tell you, the entire department is your my charge. Not only do you have to be aware of the architecture department, you have other departments to visit,” he got up and looked her straight in the eyes with coldness, “so boss, my team and I must work,” they all left the office leaving Caroline furious and hating Daniel more, but this will not stay that way, she knows what Yazahib thinks of the field work and it is just what she will do without his consent.
The architecture team left the building and each one went to the project they are in charge of. Daniel, not having a car, accepted Derek to take her. Her anger is so much that she does not want to talk, she could only think of the hell that Caroline will put her through."No Derek" she stops him when he starts talking "I'm fine and it is what it is. She is the boss and I have to respect her as such.”
Derek sighed and parked outside the project under construction, “you came out so angry that you haven't told Yazahib where you'll be, are you sure you don't want me to do this for you?"
Daniel rolled her eyes and then looked at him, “it's my job Derek, I have to do this myself. Don't worry and take care of yourself around there, and wear a helmet,” she smiled to him and Derek returned her smile, she's so stubborn that he doesn't know how to control her so she doesn't get into trouble. Yazahib is not like him, his friend loses control quickly and he does not like that she is in danger.
"I will be stopping by for us to have lunch together. Are you still standing?” Daniel nodded, Yazahib will be in the meeting and also knows that she will.
"You have to pick me up on the other project, I won't be long here," she closed the car door as she got out and she said goodbye to Derek with a big smile. Derek honked his horn and started the car.
Daniel took a deep breath and forgetting that Caroline is now her boss, she smiled and entered the place with a lot of dirt and mud. The construction is still on the ground and there is a lot of disaster around it from the machines and the many workers.
“Architect,” the foreman received her and gave her, her work equipment. A pair of boots, a fluorescent vest, and a white helmet.
"Thank you very much, Pepe, how's everything going around here?" Daniel asked, putting on her equipment. When she finished, she took a radio to be able to communicate with the heads of each profession without difficulties.
"Well, everything is fine, architect. We were just waiting for you to make the last measurement and deliver the land,” Daniel nodded and walked next to the man, “the engineer is here and…”
“Wao” the man stopped and together with Daniel they turned to find out who spoke behind his back, “I never thought she was a woman, young and beautiful.” Daniel raised an eyebrow, in that job she must always defend her position, “wow… and pregnant.”
Seeing the cocky smile of the brunette in front of her made her angry, “yes sir, I am a woman, beautiful and pregnant, but I am also professional, intelligent and capable of doing my job. Daniel López,” she held out her hand and the man, impressed by her response, shook it.
“Owen Wilson,” the man also introduced himself, “at no time did I mean to offend you,” he looked into her eyes and Daniel smiled.
"There are things that are simply not said Mr. Wilson, there are times that we must save our comments" she released his hand, “now if you will allow me, this intelligent and capable woman must prepare the ground for you,” giving him one last smile, she walked away with Pepe to make the last measurement of the terrain and see that everything is perfect before delivering it.
Owen looked at the woman stunned, she works well in her work and everyone has great respect for her, for some reason he knows that she earned that respect and does not have it for who her boyfriend is. Yazahib really won the lottery with that woman, he doesn't deserve her, he doesn't deserve that woman.
“Everything is perfect, architect,” Pepe smiled happily at his boss, “you are a great architect, it's the first time that the measure comes out perfectly, not one centimeter more, not one less.” Daniel felt flattered and proud. So many hours of studies, so much working to pay for her university and her courses is finally paying off and even though she is now pregnant and more tired, she will continue to attend until she obtains her degree as an architect.
“Thank you Pepe, it has been a pleasure working with you,” she looked at the others and her smile widened, “and with you too,” she looked at the rest, “we'll see each other later, now I have other matters to attend to.” She said goodbye to the boys and with the same clothes rushed out of the project to walk and find a taxi.
"Hi," Owen walked to her side, “do you want me to take you somewhere?"
Daniel arched an eyebrow and stared at him without stopping, "I am capable of reaching my destination on my own, Mr. Wilson. You have work to do, don't bother.” She glanced away from him but Owen wants to take her and he will.
"Are you afraid of your boyfriend's reaction?"
Daniel stopped and looking at him with the smile still on her lips, she sighed, "I am not a submissive woman Mr. Wilson, my not wanting to go with you has nothing to do with my boyfriend, it simply has to do with my refusal to be with a sexist like you, and to be honest, I want to do this trip alone,” she said goodbye to him and took the opportunity to stop a taxi that passes a little further on. Without looking at the man and his shadowed gaze, she strode away and got into the taxi, “thank you very much,” she smiled at the driver and then gave him the address.
Au mobile she notified a message and looking at it, she bit her lip. It is Yazahib.
´Hello darling, I'm already entering the board, as soon as I leave I want you to go up to the presidency. I love you my queen’
Daniel bit harder on her lips, at least he won't notice that she left the building to do field work. Upon reaching the building already under construction, she went inside. "Architect," Daniel turned and seeing the man in front of her, she backed away in shock.
