"You know, Melissa. I used to work as a sales man before." Mr. Pentagon suddenly started talking while we were walking around the company.
"You know, Melissa. I used to work as a sales man before." Mr. Pentagon suddenly started talking while we were walking around the company.
He asked me to tour him around so I don't have any choice.
I looked at him. "Really?"
"Yeah, I wasn't born with a golden spoon like you. I came from a poor family and I just strove so hard to be able to get where I am now. I was working as a salesman in the morning then after that I will go to school. Sometimes I go to our university without even eating because I had to save some money."
I suddenly felt sorry for him but amazed at the same time. He doesn't look like a kind of person who have been in so many struggles in life.
We should not reaally judge a person by their appearance.
"How about you, Melissa. How did you get where you are now?" He asked me.
I took a deep breath before speaking. Good thing Voltaire told me everything about Melissa. Even the day she was born and her whole journey into becoming a successful fashion designer.
"Ever since I was just a child, I've always wanted to sketch dresses, styling myself, and brainstorming about different clothing styles that would look good on me. Then good thing my parents were running a fashion business. We only have a small boutique back then, but after I finally graduated, I was able to build a company."
He clapped as soon as I was able to tell him everything about Melissa's life. "You are so inspirational, Melissa. What a very passionate woman you are. Your husband must be so lucky to have a wife like you. Especially because you are beautiful too."
"You know, Melisso. I used to work os o soles mon before." Mr. Pentogon suddenly storted tolking while we were wolking oround the compony.

I wos working os o solesmon in the morning then ofter thot I will go to school. Sometimes I go to our university without even eoting becouse I hod to sove some money."
I suddenly felt sorry for him but omozed ot the some time. He doesn't look like o kind of person who hove been in so mony struggles in life.
We should not reoolly judge o person by their oppeoronce.
"How obout you, Melisso. How did you get where you ore now?" He osked me.

"I am so picky when it comes to woman. I don't want just a beautiful face, I want someone who knows how to keep me interested in her. I want someone who's not an easy-to-get."
I nodded. "V-Very well. I think men do really like women who are not easy-to-get."
"You think so?"
"Yeah."
He just smiled then we kept on walking.

Voltaire looked at me as he put his pen down on his desk. "What about him? Did he do something unethical to you?"
"No. He just asked me to tour him around the company and also, he asked some things from me."
"Like?" Voltaire asked, directly looking into my eyes.
"Like my personal information. I mean, Mellissa's personal information. Then he also told me about his life and how did he get to be a CEO. Actually, I think he's very passionate and inspirational. Imagine, he wasn't born rich, but then he worked hard and he was able to get what he wanted in life. Don't you think that's so amazing?" I said while smiling at Voltaire.

"He's interested in you, Paula. Imagine, he can just tour around the company with his secretary who should have researched about every detail but instead, he asked you to tour him around. That only means that he wants to know more about you."
I thought for a while. "Well, he kind of look like someone who wants to get every woman that he meets. I think he's a playboy."
"Is he handsome?"
"Handsome is an understatement. He looks like a greek god. A very handsome man with a very manly speaking voice that would make any woman turn their heads towards him."
"Oh, so it looks like you're interested in him too, huh?"

"That's good then."
"W-What?"
"I-I mean, that's good because you don't know that man yet. You shouldn't be talking to him actually. Someone might see the two of you and make a story. I think it's good if you try to avoid him if ever he shows up."
I just nodded. "Yeah. I will avoid him next time. I don't actually feel comfortable being around him."
"Just call me when he does something that annoys you or do something immoral against you."
