The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 26

It had been three weeks since Nichole had arrived in Italy and she was loving it. She felt at peace and loved the people she was working with even though she was their boss. She loved the beautiful places she went to with her new friend Kyle, who was the head of the accounting department. He was so down to earth and super dreamy! 

“Boss, here are the files you're requested for." Valentina, her Personal Assistant and friend said dropping them on the table.

“Thanks, Val, anything on our schedule today?" She inquired not looking up from her table.

“Yeah, we have to leave for a business trip to South Carolina, Greenville this evening." She reminded.

“That's all?" Nichole asked.

“Yes," Valentina answered.

“Very well then, make sure the reservations for the hotel room have been done. And no need for a ticket we would be using the private jet. It's now 3:00 pm, so go get ready and meet me at home at 6:00 pm. We would leave at 8:00 pm tonight." She instructed as Val did what she was asking to do.

Nichole's phone rang as she answered it while walking out the door.

“Hey," She said waving at her friends and her twin via face time.

“How are you doing? How's Italy?" Nicolette asked

“Its fun, and beautiful." She smiled.

“And work?" Nikki asked.

“Stressful, I have a meeting in Greenville. I'm flying out with my PA tonight. What's Jesse doing at the back?" She asked as she saw him trying to do some dance moves.

“Um, I think he's trying to dance." Nicolette chuckled drawing his attention.

“Hi, Nichole." He grinned.

“Hi, I love your dance steps." She tried not to laugh.

“Very funny, how's Italy treating you?" He inquired as she sat in the car and the driver drove her.

“It's beautiful." She genuinely smiled.

“Good, I would talk later, got to get to my dancing. Take care." He said as he walked out.

“See you later Nichole, I love you." Her twin added dropping the call.

“Freya, staying in bed and crying your eyes out won't help the situation. You need to get a hold of yourself. Your business needs you and we need you as well." Jess consoled her friend.

“I know but what did I do wrong? Me fighting for what I love?" She voiced out.

“You did nothing wrong, you my dearest are a strong, beautiful, caring woman. That's why the world loves you. Go out there and do you. For Zed, just leave him be for now and think about you. He would come back. Trust me on that one." Jess advised.

“Thanks, Jess, you're a good friend. Enough about me, how's the salon coming out? And what of you and Miguel?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

“We are done with the renovations and would be reopening in the next two days, for Miguel and I it's just friendship. Besides, he's not over his late wife." She answered.

“He will, once he realises what a wonderful being you are." Freya smiled at her friend as she got off the bed. She walked into the bathroom to have a relaxing bath as Jess headed for the kitchen to prepare breakfast for both of them. 

Freya emerged from her room wearing a white off-shoulder and no hand jumpsuit. It hugged her figure perfectly in the right places. She had curled her straight hair and her makeup had complimented her face beautifully.

“You look stunning," Carla said from the table.
