Seeing you again

The next day, Mirena Miller summoned her father early in the morning. She has no idea of what's been going on as she couldn't still believe what happened last night.

She was seeking answers to hundreds of questions in her head. The supposed to be beautiful night turned into misery and woke up in her room by herself.

Because she was in a hurry, Mirena didn't have ample time to wear make-up. Her bare face showed how stressed she was. The dark circles around her eyes described how hopeless she was for failing to be with a new toy.

Until now, the man she met at the bar vividly remained in her head. She never felt this way before and had never been in a serious relationship with someone.

Mirena parked the car and forgot to check her face before leaving. She was desperate to uncover the problems before it was too late.

"Damn, what is all about this time? The last time I checked, everything is fine even the sales went up effortlessly–"

"Good... good morning, Ma'am! I... I've been calling you–"

Mirena narrowed her eyes when her assistant showed up. She looked tensed over things that were out of her control.

She sighed and replied, "What's going on? Why did father summon me suddenly?"

Cyril bowed her head in fear that her boss would yell as soon as she heard the bad news. It would be a painful slap in the face which is likely hard for a loyal and faithful servant.

She had been working with Mirena since she became the successor of the great businessman of all times. Cyril never wanted to waste the opportunity that was given to her.

That's why she was working passionately according to her duties and responsibilities.

However, she has no choice but, to tell the truth. The problem wouldn't be solved if its kept hidden for a long time.

Cyril took a deep breath which confused Mirena. For five years, she never encountered such sudden dropping sales. Miller's clothing company remained the top brand in the country and it was quite strange that they were facing a huge setback now.

"Tell me what's going on, Cyril! Father will never call me if it's not about business matters!" She raised her voice and lost control.

"Promise me that you'll never fire anyone first! This is not their fault, Mirena!"

Cyril became her older sister during work. She was mature compared to her and she knew how to handle serious problems by herself. That's the reason why she chose to stay beside the arrogant heiress.

Mirena looked coldly at her, "Fine! I won't do that. Just tell me what's going on–"

"Our sales are dropping massively! As soon as I checked the system, something strange happened and we've been receiving bad reviews from our loyal customers! This is a vast disaster for all of us and you should think of a better solution as soon as possible," she paused.

Cyril took a deep breath as she couldn't tell her everything in a single paragraph. If the sales continue dropping, the company would lose millions of dollars in a day. When it happens, hundreds of workers would be terminated to save it from bankruptcy.

Before she uttered the possibilities, Cyril looked intently into the heiress' eyes and held her shoulders tightly.

She was hoping that through these challenges, Mirena change for her own sake and for the company that her parents built.

"This may be hard for you, but if you won't find a way to fix this mess. You will lose everything in a blink of an eye, Mirena. I'm saying to encourage you because I can't bear to see you suffer."

Finally, Cyril relayed the emergency to the person who was responsible for this. Mirena is the CEO and she must think of a wise solution to save the company.

Mirena's heartbeat was too deafening. Everything around her stopped for a minute and it seemed surreal.

She never thought that despite being successful, things turned upside down before she could realize it.

In the past few years, she acted as if no one could ever bring her to the ground. She was the most popular young CEO and she enjoyed the title without any fear or doubts.

Every night, she would hunt for a man that she wanted to play with. Mirena never had the chance to look at the different side. She only wanted a fun, new toy and fame.

Her responsibilities were left to the thin air as she chose to do things that weren't important at all.

Shopping every single day. Spent millions of dollars on vacation as if she owned that money.

Mirena never realized that she was an arrogant and selfish heiress. She never prepared herself for the real problems that may occur in the future.

Now that her biggest fear happened, Mirena didn't know what to do with it. She could still feel the dizziness as she lacked sleep.

Expectedly, she glanced at her assistant and burst into laughter. She didn't know if it was only a prank or merely a dream.

She said, "What are you talking about, Cyril? Our sales are dropping? That's absurd!"

"Believe me, Mirena! This is not the right time... If you don't care about this company, then I don't think I can help you with that." Cyril said coldly. "Mr. Miller is waiting for you."

Cyril led the way to the CEO's office. She couldn't believe Mirena's reactions. It was hard to find the exact words to describe how it felt like to be in this situation.

She dedicated herself to guiding and serving Mirena but it turned out to be the other way around. All the guidance she gave to her was nothing and priceless and that's the reason why she got disappointed.

Along the way to the said office, Mirena didn't stop caressing her temple. It has been a while since she had a headache.

She knew how to deal with it but as soon as she received the call, everything was set aside.

"Damn, my head still hurts and it's killing me!" she whispered and suddenly bumped someone's chest.

Mirena narrowed her eyes and reacted without seeing the man's face, "Are you blind or an idiot? Can't you see that I am walking–"

Her eyes widened as soon as the man chuckled.

"It's my pleasure to see you again, Mirena Miller." The man replied which completely carried her away.
