During this time, not only did I have to manage my workload, but I also needed to worry about Debra.
Additionally, I had to keep an eye on the two children and tend to their emotional needs.
I was incredibly busy.
Having a secretary would definitely make things easier.
So, I quickly inquired, âDo you have anyone in mind?â
Carlos had a look that said he was expecting my question and replied with a smile, âAbsolutely.
You asked the right guy!â
He appeared slightly self-satisfied.
âOne of my cousins is a great fit for the job.
She graduated last year.
Sheâs been involved in her family business and just returned recently.
Sheâs quite capable.
Iâm confident she can assist you!â
Cousin?
Frowning, I hesitated before saying, âWould hiring a female secretary cause unnecessary issues?â
Before I met Debra, I was known for being quite the ladiesâ man, attracting many women who ended up causing me trouble.

That was the reason I had never employed a female secretary and had Carlos handle the duties on a part-time basis.
âDonât worry about it.
â Carlos knew my concerns well, having worked with me for years.
He assured me confidently, âMy cousin has performed admirably in her family business and respects boundaries.
Sheâs not interested in dating.
Sheâs different from the women youâve encountered before.
â
Carlos was a trusted friend and had always been dependable without any major errors.
I could trust his recommendation.
After a moment of consideration, I consented and instructed, âThen bring her in for an interview.
If sheâs as outstanding as you claim, Iâll hire her as my secretary.
â
Carlos quickly agreed.
âOkay!â
Calebâs POV:
Carlos was remarkably efficient, picking up the phone to make a call.
âHello? Alexandria?â
After exchanging pleasantries, Carlos cleared his throat and dove right into the matter.
âHereâs the situation.
Alpha is swamped with work and needs a secretary to assist him.
Havenât you been Looking for a job recently? Would you be interested in coming in for an interview?â
The person on the other end of the phone inquired about the interview time, to which Carlos responded, âIf you can make it today, please come as soon as possible.
Alpha is available now for the interview.
â
A moment later, Carlos wore a satisfied smile, nodding.
âGood.
Weâll wait for you at the office.
â
He hung up the phone with a proud announcement.
âItâs done.
Sheâll be here soon.
â
About half an hour later, Alexandria Vargas, Carlosâ cousin, arrived.
Carlos hadnât exaggerated.
Alexandria was impressive both in appearance and ability.
Furthermore, despite her recent graduation, she demonstrated a level of experience and agility surpassing that of many seasoned employees.
After conducting the interview, I felt quite positive about her.
Coupled with Carlosâ recommendation, I made my decision.
âAlexandria, you have passed.
