HELENA'S POV:

"But Zayden's dad had seen him with me and he didn't react as you are saying." I was astonished to hear their words. "We don't know about him but it's sure that Mrs. Diana Cullen doesn't like anyone around her son and every one is aware about her temper." Gina's words made me curious. What might she look like, what might be the reason behind her behaviour?

Zayden was playing so happily with other children there. "Let's go now. Lunch break is almost over and my senior will suck up my blood if I reach even a minute late." Merry started panicking so we rushed towards our respective departments.

As I entered in the cabin and walked towards the table I had as an assistant, I heard someone coughing. I turned around to see an old man in his late fifties standing at the door. I just stood there not knowing how should I be reacting.

"Hello young lady. You must be Ms. Helena Parker?" He asked with a genuine smile.

"Yes sir, I'm Helena." I kindly replied to him. "I'm Henry Collins. You'll be working as my assistant for upcoming two years, right?" Oh my god, so he's Mr. Collins and he'll be my mentor! "Good.. Good afternoon sir. I'm so sorry sir I couldn't recognize you." I said trying my best to hide my awkwardness.

He laughed at my words and said, "No problem Ms.Parker. Well Ms.Helena let me tell you one thing, working under me isn't going to be easy. I'll test you and put you in all the tough situations cause life isn't served in a silver platter. You should be ready to face the real world when you go out after your internship and it's not going to be easy at all. So you should be ready, do you understand that?"

"Yes sir, I'll do my best." I said it sincerely and I promised myself that I'll give my best. "Okay Ms. Parker, let's start some work now. I want you to study this file and you'll have to help me in making a decision. That'll be the start of your work. You've got ten minutes to study the case." He said handing me a file. I took the file from his hands and walked towards my table.

I studied whole case within the time bound. "Ms. Jonas, I want you inside my cabin right now." He ordered some miss Jonas to come to his cabin while I was standing in front of him with my hands folded on my back. Soon, someone knocked the room and Mr. Collins asked the person to come in.

It was none other than the same lady who had announced her rivalry with me in the morning. She came and stood beside me and gave a mocking smile to me. Well I really don't think that I should be concerned about her mocks and glares at me cause I should be focusing upon my work only. So I didn't react anything and concentrated upon Mr.Collins.

"So miss Parker, she's Ms. Alvira Jonas and she's also working as an intern in our department and I hope you know her already Ms.Jonas." Oh so she's Alvira. "Yeah sir, I know her. she's your assistant." She said rolling her eyes on me.

"So miss Alvira, you might remember a file that I had given to you to study yesterday?" Mr.Collins asked showing the same file that he had given to me to study few minutes ago. "Of course sir, I've studied it well." She said giving the sweetest smile.

"I had given the same file to Ms. Parker few minutes ago to study. So I want both of your views regarding the case. So let's start with you Ms.Jonas, what's your point of view?" He asked folding his hands on his chest.

"Well Mr. Collins, I think partnership with Crystal groups is beneficial for our company. They have big name on the fashion industry and dealing with them will definitely make profit to us." Mr.Collins looked at me after her words so I started stating my point of view.

"Mr. Collins I think dealing with Crystal groups isn't good for our company. Although the company has big name in fashion industry, the company has also faced backlash for supplying duplicate products and a complaint was filed against the company. Although they suppressed the news and case with money and power, everyone in the business circle is aware about the fact. So dealing with them can also put the reputation of our company at risk and investors may have doubts as well." I presented my views and Mr. Collins stood from his chair.

"Absolutely Ms.Parker. You're absolutely right." He said smiling at me and I could see Alvira's sullen face. "The responsibility of Legal department is to look over any legal issues company can face and here, this company has history of having legal issues and the company is at fault. So dealing with this company is not beneficial for us." He said looking at both of us.

"Ms.Alvira, you're good at your work but you just need to focus upon main corners. I believe you'll do good. Well you can coordinate with Ms.Parker. Is it alright with you Ms.Parker?" He asked looking at me.

"Of course sir." I said smiling and I could see, Alvira wasn't happy at all but she still gave a fake smile. "Okay miss Alvira, you may continue with your work and Ms.Helena, I want you to work upon this file." Mr.Collins handed me a file and I walked towards my desk. Alvira gave a forced smile to sir and then walked out after giving me a hateful look.
