1012 Words
Scarlett couldn't bear sitting close to Roland for a few more hours, she kept sighing uncomfortably in the car sometimes Roland steals her a glance and he'd frown at her.
"please let me concentrate, not like it's your first time working as my Personal assistant." he scoffed
"you know I really think you should demote me.. I prefer working in other departments like the designing department." she grumpily suggested
"well all thanks to one of my father's last wishes now I'm going to keep on seeing you when all you do is irritate me." he grunted and continued typing some words
"Well, he's a hundred times better than you." she muttered arranging the files alphabetically.
"sorry? I thought you said something?" he inquired
"Nope I didn't Boss." she spelt the last word with aggression.
Soon they arrived at the Ts'&Ds' restaurants, one of the five star restaurants in California.
He walked towards the VIP suite with Scarlett and 2 other hefty men on black tailing behind.

"Yes of course Mr. Shane, we heard that the Golden blinks is one of the best Jewelry manufacturing company in California, we saw your handwork on the ROSE OF THE YEAR Jewelry set last year, it was one of the most stunning and talented design and jewelry we had ever seen. We want to make a business contract with you." An older man in his Late 40s said.
"You said your Company is one of the best in France, what makes you travel all the way from France down here for a business proposal?" Roland asked
"don't discourage them." Scarlett whispered to Roland
"Well actually, our companies in France are splendid in manufacturing different jewelries with pure gold and silver worth billions.. but your designs are out of the world and really classic, we really want something like that, it's for a customer in Columbia who wants a cataleya and rose flower design for her daughter." The other man said, he's not bad in looks like the first though and he kept throwing consistent glances at Scarlett who was already feeling irritated.
"I need to see the design you're talking about." Roland suggested
"you can send it to us through our website or Emails." Scarlett suggested
"yeah, you should send it to us in 3 days time before we'd start the preparation for the RING OF THE QUEEN challenge. it's just 3 weeks from now." Roland shrugged
and stood up.
Scarlett was already standing as the men exchanged handshakes, the handsome guy can't peel his eyes off her it was becoming obvious to everyone and frustrating for Scarlett
"We'd be on our way." Roland informed
He walked away with Scarlett and the others tailing behind.
Glancing at his wrist watch, he turned towards her direction.
"We've got somewhere to be, hurry up."
"Miss Gray, just a minute." The guy whom Scarlett recalled to Mr. Blake Anderson called.
"Great." Scarlett cursed
"Sorry Mr. Anderson but we don't have a minute to spare." Roland stated
"Yeah we've got somewhere else to be." Scarlett added
"oh, my bad, maybe next time.. can we exchange contacts?" Blake asked
Scarlett decided to exchange contacts after a big fight with her inner self.
Finally they were out of the Ts' & Ds' restaurants
"We've got 5 more places to be Boss with a limited time." Scarlett moaned in tiredness
"You don't do that around me, it's not permitted." he informed
"You're the last man on this world that I'd ever think of impressing with a moan." She said with a scoff while Roland smirked.
"To make it easier for you, I can't fire you because my dad asked me not to but you can resign, it'd be easier for the both of us." Roland suggested
"Yeah, like I will do that."
Attending a conference meeting where they announced the coming Challenge. At this moment, those who can afford it were looking forward to it because it's not just any Ring, it's a special and limited brand in the world.
"it will be worth Millions of dollars and the event will last the whole night. We look forward to seeing you all." Roland announced.
After 3 other business meetings, they drove back to the company while Scarlett typed her written note from the different meetings into her laptop.
Roland's phone buzzed and he pulled it out to know who it was.
"Hello mum, how's everything going? yeah, it's in 3 weeks time, really? I didn't invite her mum, no I.. We can discuss this later okay? bye." Roland hung up with a deep sigh.
"I'm calling it a day, we can continue tomorrow." he informed
"But sir, we've got a pile of work to do tomorrow, shifting today's schedule will affect the rest of the week." she informed
"You take down the design from the Alvin's website and redesign it, then the files on my table should be neatly done by you, I don't need any mistakes." Roland ordered
"Sir, I'm not a designer, maybe taking it to the designing department will be far more reasonable." Scarlett scoffed
"Yeah I know you are not a designer but your talent is splendid, I want this one to be done by you, I've got other plans for the designing department." he concluded
"you know double work, double reward."
"Got it." he said to her.
Scarlett was about leaving when she missed her steps and was about dropping to the floor but a pair of muscular arms gripped her waist to prevent her from falling.
They both stared at each other in surprise.
Roland's eyes dropped to her gorgeous face taking down her facial features, long lashes, soft beautiful skin, small pink lips and straight, well sculptured nose.
Scarlett too felt rigid at the moment, staring into a pair of beautiful green eyes while she gripped on his hard muscles to balance her weight.
Recalling their position, she quickly stood up, turning her back to him.. She muttered a 'thanks' and then walked away.
Roland for some reasons stared at her retarding figure and frowned.
