Billionaire's Treasure

Indeed An Evil

TREASURE’S POINT OF VIEW

I was on my way now to President Smith’s office to pass the reports that we finished last night. As I enter his office, I can hear that he is arguing with someone so I just stayed at the door and wait for him to calm down.

“Damn it!” He said and I can hear the loud noise when he puts down the telephone. Geez! I wonder how many time does he change his office’s telephone per year the way he puts it down makes me think that it’s broken! I let out a heavy sigh first before heading inside.

“Good morning President Smith!” I greeted him with a full of smile and full of energy and yet he just looks at me using those poker face. Tsk, what should I expect? His President Smith after all.

“So, why are you here?” He asked me and his brow was lifted.

“I am here to pass the revised version of our report,” I said and then put it down on his table. He immediately gets it and started to read our report. While reading the report he is nodding and I think that is a good sign. It only took him a few minutes to finished reading the whole report.

“How many hours it took you to finished revising this?” He asked me while holding the folder in his right hand.

“It took us nine hours to revised that President Smith,” I said, and then all of a sudden he throws the whole folder on his trash bin and then slams his table as he stands up.

“Are you f*****g with me, Ms. Miller?! I told you I need a perfect report not a trashy report like that! Revise the whole report now! And don’t you ever pass another rush report like that! Get out!” He shouted at me so I immediately run my way outside his office. I thought I will be eaten alive by him. As I head outside his office, my tears are racing their way down my face. I immediately run towards my office and cry my frustration and my fear as well.

“Ah! You need to be courageous Treasure! Dior already told you about him and you choose to continue grabbing this job!” I comforted myself while crying like a baby. That was the very first time when someone shouts at me like that! Even my own parents didn’t raise their voice on me.

“Geez! I’m running out of breath.” I said and then immediately search for my inhaler but I was too late and I lost consciousness. I don’t know how many minutes or hours have passed but the moment I opened my eyes I saw a pure white room and I was all alone inside.

“Ah! My head hurts.” I said to myself as I sit on the bed. As my eyes roamed around, I saw that I was inside the company’s clinic. My gaze suddenly went on the door when I heard it opened.

“Thank goodness you are already awake Ms. Miller!” Mr. Joey said as he head inside the room while carrying a tray of rice porridge and a bottle of mineral water.

“Are you feeling well now?” He asked me and then put down the tray on the table beside me.

“Yeah. My head just hurts a little but I am perfectly fine.” I said while smiling at him.

“Thank goodness Dior found you laying on the floor. Maybe you fell from your chair after you lost consciousness.” He said which made me smiled.

“I should thank him by the way where is he?” I asked him

“He’s busy right now. But don’t worry he told me that after he finished his work he will immediately come here.” He said but I just shake my head and then removed the blanket covering my body.

“No need. Besides I feel fine now so I should head back to my office.” I said and was about to stand up when Mr. Joey pulled my arms which causes me to almost fall but thank goodness he immediately grabbed my waist.

“President Smith told us that the moment you regain your consciousness you can go home and rest. He doesn’t want you to force your body.” He said which made me smiled because even though he’s the reason why I collapsed he still cares for his employee after all.

“Why are you smiling? Do you know the reason why he doesn’t want you to work right now?” He asked me which made me frowned.

“Why? The reason should be he is worried about his employee’s health right?” I asked him but he immediately shakes his head to disagree.

“NO! He is not as nice as you think but he is as evil as you think.” He said which made me frowned again and then he started speaking again.

“HAHAHA! Ms. Miller, President Smith wouldn’t give a single damn to his employee. The reason why he wants you to go home is that he doesn’t want to check another fail report. He wants you to be useful and productive.” He said which makes me feel disappointed because I thought he cares about his employees.

“By the way, if you can go home now then I will take you to the bus stop. But you need to eat this first and then we will go.” He said and then gave me the rice porridge which I immediately eat because I am hungry. After I ate, I immediately get my bag from the table, and then we started to head outside the clinic. While on our way to the bus stop, Mr. Joey is telling me how did Dior found me unconscious in the office.

“So he called your phone as well as your telephone in your office multiple times but you are not answering.” He said

“Why did he called me?” I asked him

“Well, he knew that you need to revise the report again and he wants to help you immediately and also to ask you to eat lunch together.” Mr. Joey said.

“By the way, how does he knew about the revising thingy even though I was the only one President Smith speaks to?” I asked him because the last time President Smith told me to revise the report, Dior already knew about it.

“Ah! After the president talks to you, he will immediately send a message to every departments’ heads. So yeah.” He said which made sense.

“I see,” I said while nodding at him.

“Okay so back to the story. Since you are not answering his calls he decided to head to your office to go check on you and what welcomes him is your unconscious body laying on the floor so he immediately picks you up and then takes you to the clinic. He is also the one who told President Smith about this.” He said and then we continue on talking until we reached the bus stop.

“Thank you so much, Mr. Joey. Take care on your way back to the office.” I said and then gave him a kiss on his cheeks and he also did the same thing. I just waved at him while smiling when he turns around. As I ride on the bus, I immediately contact Dior to thank him but I will also thank him personally tomorrow but I have been calling him a few times now but he still hasn’t answered yet.

“Maybe he is still so busy! I will just thank him tomorrow.” I said to myself and then put back my phone into my bag. I just thought all of a sudden, if Dior didn’t found me there my condition could have gotten worst because in my case if I won’t be found after I collapsed my heart would stop beating based on what the doctor told me and I should get the medical attention I need. As I reached our house I found my mother in the kitchen and it looks like they just finished eating lunch.

“Hey, mom!” I greeted her as I head inside our house.

“Oh! Why are you so early?” She asked me and then wiped her hands.

“Our working hours today is only until 12:00 pm so I am home early,” I said so she just nods at me and then continues on washing the dishes.

“Did you eat already?” She asked me.

“Yes, mom. I and my colleagues already ate lunch before we head home. By the way, where’s dad?” I asked her while removing my lipstick.

“He’s already at the shop. I just gave him a lunchbox because the shop is so busy today. And oh by the way I have a piece of good news for you!” She said and then wiped her hands again after washing the dishes.

“What is it?” I asked her and then put my heels on the shoe rack.

“Well, since your father’s shop is doing good ever since he started his business we decided to have another branch so you can stop working and rest here with me.” She said while holding my hands.

“Mom that was such a piece of good news! But I don’t think I should not stop working.” I said which made her sad.

“Why?” She asked me with a hint of sadness in her voice.

“Well, I already told you mom ever since I knew about my condition and the way I lacked medical attention before I already accepted that I won’t last long here,” I said and my mother immediately hugged me so tight, and later on I felt that she’s crying. Geez! My weakness.

“I’m sorry Treasure if we aren’t able on sending you to doctors regularly.” She said amidst her sobbing. I just rubbed her back and didn’t speak because all of my life I never blame them for my condition.

“No mom, don’t be sorry. You know what they said if it’s meant to be then it will be. If it’s meant for me to die young then I will die, young mom.” I said which made her cry more oh geez what have I done.

“But you know what mom if it’s also meant for me to continue on living then I will,” I said and it somehow calms her down.

“Then think like that always okay?” She said so I just nod at her to stop the argument there. After calming her down, I decided to head to my bedroom because I kind of feel tired which is only normal for me. As I head inside my room, I immediately lay on my bed and closed my eyes. I didn’t notice that I fell asleep and I just woke up when I heard my phone is ringing and vibrating like crazy. I immediately search for my phone using my hand and then answered the call as I got it from my side.

“Hello?” I said as I answered the call.

“Hey Treasure, sorry if I woke you up but how are you feeling?” I heard Dior’s voice from the other line.

“No, no, no you didn’t wake me up but I am feeling well now. By the way, thank you for rescuing me.” I said while smiling.

“Nah! No worries thank goodness I saw you inside your office. By the way what truly happened earlier at your office?” He asked me and then the event earlier suddenly flashback from the moment I passed the report up to the moment I am trying to get my inhaler from my bag so I immediately shake my head to remove that scene in my mind.

“I am going to tell you tomorrow,” I said

“Okay, then see you tomorrow. Rest well.” He said and then ended the call. After that call, I just head to the kitchen to help my mother prepare for our dinner.

“Hi, mom.” I greeted her as I head outside my room.

“Oh, you’re already awake! Right on the time, I’m already done cooking our food.” She said and then started serving the food on the table.

“Wow! My favorite.” I said as I saw the pork stew on the table.

“Yeah! You need to eat a lot since I cooked it especially for you.” She said so I just nod at her and continue on preparing the dishes. After that, we started eating and I was just telling my mom some stories about my work. After eating dinner we clean the table together and I was the one that washes the dishes. Even though this day was full of severe stress, I still manage to find happiness that was brought by other people.
