Chapter three...

Picking up the files, Isabelle headed to her bosses office, she had to drop off the files for his signature and talk to him about the possibility of the company money been embezzled.

That was not her business, of course not, but the money she received was not what was recorded.

She and Mr. John had a chit chat with the head of Accounting and he claimed not to have anything do with the miscalculation.

It was necessary to talk it through with the boss, but Mr. John bailed out because his beloved wife was sick.

She her rolled her eyes at the thought, sick my foot.

Walking past, his secretary table was empty, she had an appointment with him so he was supposed to be expecting her.

She decided to knock since his secretary was not there.

Knocking on the door, she waited for a 'come in', instead she got nothing.

She knocked again already getting irked, still nothing.

She still knocked again, wondering if he has suddenly gone deaf.

Tired of knocking, she placed her hand on the door handle and pushed it open.

What she saw baffled her to say the least, her boss had specifically warned them 'she and Co.' that he doesn't tolerate or allow pleasure with work especially in the office. But there he was, with an almost naked Sasha, she was not into voyeurism but to some extent she found it interesting.

"Oh my gosh" her eyes were wide, she got nice juicy gossip to tell.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt," she hurriedly left the office.

Jessica will totally love the story, though she not a gossip.

***

Sasha came out of the office to find Isabelle gisting with the secretary, one thing Sasha hates about Isabelle or Belle like everyone called her was that, she was always pretending to be nice, never getting on the wrong side.

Sasha thinks that she's too good to be real, she hated it that everybody falls for her fake charm, Sasha believes that Isabelle pretends to be who she's not and she's happy that even their new boss knows that, though he never said a thing about Isabelle when they were together, Sasha thought that the way he barks instructions at her, always making her stay late night was enough evidence that he, just like her sees through Isabelle.

Though she still wonders why he gets angry any time she talks about her with her friends.

That being the third week, Sasha was happy that she already have the boss to herself, it was fast she knew, but she intended to never let go.

What else can she ask for?

He's rich, his family is polished with money, his name alone opens doors, and of course he's freakishly handsome which is just a bonus.

Because to her money comes first.

Facing Isabelle she smiled trying to look sincere but failing miserably "sorry for what you saw belle, Kenny is so in love with me, that he doesn't seem to get enough of me, he can't even keep his hands to himself when am in the same room with him, hahaha, you wouldn't understand belle someone has never been so in love with you before, I know."

Another thing Sasha hates about Isabelle was the fact that she stole her crown.

Before Isabelle, Sasha was basically the most beautiful lady working in the company, everything she had was provided by men vying for her attention, starting from her house to down to her makeup.

Then Isabelle came along, her beauty surpassed that of Sasha, the ladies including Sasha thought that just like Sasha, Isabelle was going to use it to her own advantage but Isabelle seems to never notice that she was beautiful.

She was hell bent on doing her job, and doing it well, so when Isabelle had a double promotion under two years, everybody finds it fit, except Sasha, who of course have been working in the company for two years before Isabelle and have only been promoted once because she was able to reason with the man.

Another thing Sasha hates about Isabelle was her ability to pretend, Sasha knew she was beautiful, and she used it to her advantage, but the fact that Isabelle seems to pretend being a saint irks her.

"I don't have all day Miss Smiths"

Isabelle looked up to see her boss standing in front of his office with a deep scowl on his face, he turned and entered his office.

Isabelle smiled at Sasha, she was in a very good mood that Sasha's blabber could not sober.

"I have to go," she smiled at the secretary and left.

***

Isabelle hurriedly headed for her car, she together with Jessica had to pick up Claire from the airport. Claire and Jessica are good friends, she met her through Jessica and the three became close, so Jessica was technically right when she said Isabelle has no friends except hers.

Heading for the hospital

Isabelle thought drifted back to the meeting with her boss,

The meeting was a wreck, she didn't even get to talk about the possibility of money being embezzled.

He was in a sour mood and unfortunately he thinks it's her fault.

She was asked to repeat everything, she decided to start that on Monday, that day been Friday she was done for the day.

She also promised to go to the bar that night to celebrate Claire's return. Drinking was not her forte but she has decided to live her life for her self, that doesn't mean she's going to get drunk.

***

Sitting in a bar whose name she has completely forgotten, with Jessica gone to get the drinks, she thought back to her relationship with her boss, she has not done anything bad or in any way insulting to him but he seems to hate her.

***

"So tell me who's the doctor guy," Claire asked tired of the silence.

Isabelle noticed it and immediately felt bad, she was here to celebrate Claire's return not think about her self.

"He's just a friend," Isabelle said putting emphasis on just.

Claire raised her eyebrow,

"Just a friend?"

"You chat with him everyday,

You talk to him on phone every night, you go out for lunch almost everyday, through out the car ride from the airport you talked about him and you tell me he is just a friend?"

Isabelle's jaw dropped open, who told you all this?

Claire smiled, " l had a chat with Jessi On our way to the bar. Now tell me, do you like him?"

Isabelle rolled her eyes, " of course I like him, I really like him it just that.. "

Isabelle was cut off by someone clearing his throat,

turning around she saw a grining Jessica and a smiling Tony.

The two saboteurs excused them selves and Isabelle eyed them, promising retribution.

He gave her a bouquet of roses and her eyes welled up, he was so sweet she thought.

"Be my girlfriend belle" his voice almost a whisper sounded like a caress.

"Yes, yes."

Standing up, he drew her into his chest wrapping his arms around her he kissed her.

Isabelle only noticed that they had the attention of everyone in the bar to themselves when everyone erupted in cheers, clapping and congratulating the couple.

Jessica and Claire drew her into a group hug whispering congratulations to her.

Sitting down, they took their drinks and conversed for the rest of the night.

***

Waking up to the ringing of her phone, Isabelle wondered who it's could be that couldn't wait for it to clock nine am,

Snatching the phone from her side table she clicked on receive and whispers yelled "what?"

"Good morning to you too" Marvin said from the other side of the line.

Isabelle groaned, "it's Saturday for God sake, why wake me up by Six forty-five?"

"I wanted to say congrats, I saw the pictures of last night, Jessi updated it on iG. "

"When?" 

"I don't know, you should ask your friends and people in the bar," Marv said, with an almost sad tone, take care, Bye. he ended the call, already getting the confirmation needed.

"OMG"

Isabelle groaned.

Logging on i********: she noticed that Marvin was not exaggerating, not at all.

Jessica really sold her out... She uploaded it with the caption 'finally sold out ' on f*******: too.

***

Before Ten, Isabelle has received calls from almost every of her colleagues, stating how surprised they were that she finally had a boyfriend, some claim they were waiting for her to come out as a lesbian.

she then understood the information network of her work place, even though Jessica and Claire made sure to help share the good news.

***

Opening his eyes, he wondered where Sasha was, even though he made it clear to her that he wanted just s*x, she seems to think that feelings will grow. She was always in bed before he wakes up but take by the ringing of her phone, it was obvious she had a call.

Walking to the bathroom, he performed his morning duties.

Coming to the sitting room, he found Sasha sitted on the couch busily typing away on her phone.

He Headed for the kitchen, he still had a fast to break.

***

Sipping his wine, he wanted nothing but for Sasha to stop disturbing him, because all she could think of was were and how she considered Isabelle faulty.

He wanted to forget Isabelle even for a minute but Sasha was not helping.

"I heard she now dating the doctor, Tony. It happened yesterday night. You see she will always pretend to not know anything, but she also manipulative, is he not the senators son?" Sasha rant finally happy to have Ken's attention.

"I understand perfectly if you don't like Isabelle, but insulting her in any way is something I won't tolerate. "

Sasha jaw dropped.

"Close your mouth, it is not attractive, Not on you though." Ken muttered completely irritated.

She quickly closed her mouth, was she dreaming or hallucinating, could it be that Ken, actually stood up for Isabelle again.

Isabelle has always found ways to take everything away, though she was not after Ken, she was the reason why they have fought three times in a week.

Ken thinks it's bad to speak ill of her so he get upset anytime Sasha says something he doesn't like.

Sasha couldn't understand, she thought she and the boss shared mutual dislike for Isabelle, then why is he always sticking up for her.

***

Standing up Ken picked his car keys "you have to get ready I'm dropping you off, I have work to do. "

Sasha groaned and stood up, Ken was already angry arguing with him will upset him more.

***

He has been in his office, for the past three hours and still couldn't get anything done His thoughts keeps drifting back to Isabelle, what if she was really dating that bastard, Tony?

Sasha was good at gossiping but he has seen them together too many times to know that it might be through. Though he hoped not.

Picking up his phone, he logged in to i********:, 'The world gossip site.'

So it is true, she was really dating Tony.

Picking up his phone he dialed her number, even though it's Saturday, he can't help but want to cancel any plan they had for the day.

***

Isabelle groaned at the ringing of her phone, she have being receiving congratulation messages as if she got engaged or wedded.

Was she such a freak?

Seeing that the number was not saved in her contact, she wondered who it was again.

"Hello, Isabelle Smiths speaking."

"I think I need the files..."

Isabelle froze, it was her boss.
