Ann’s Pov “Finally!!” I tried stretching my arms, I had just finished sorting out the file which Mr scumbag assigned to me. It was at that point that my Intercom rang for the second time today. I knew it had to be the scumbag so I hurriedly picked up. “Get ready in 5 minutes. I have a meeting with a client over lunch and you are coming with me”. He blurted out and ended the call instantly. I sent out a few important emails and logged off my computer. As soon as Damian came out of his office I joined him in his car. While in the car I noticed he stole glances at me, it made me uncomfortable that I had to ask him “Sir, do I have something on my face?” “No” he quickly looked out the window avoiding eye contact till we arrived at the restaurant. When we got to the restaurant, he left hurriedly to find his client as we were 30 minutes late. I gently walked to where they were seated. “Good day Sir” I greeted his client politely, this made him turn to me “Good day, gorgeous. It's an honour having an angel on this table” His client complimented, he could not help but sing my praises, and he went on and on about how beautiful he thinks I am. The client immediately asked Damian for the contract so he could sign it, this made me smile at him beautifully, at least he wasn’t here to waste time. “I would love to have your contact information beauty”, the client expressed himself, but I smiled at him and kindly declined “I would prefer to sir”, “ Okay, here is my card, give me a call whenever you need anything” I smiled and took the card with a “thank you”.The client stood up shook hands with Damian and left. Just after he took his leave, Damian turned to me “Are you this cheap? Look at how you were smiling cheaply at him”. “This guy thinks he can talk to people however he likes huh? A taste of his own medicine is exactly what he needs” I thought immediately to myself. “At least I’m not as arrogant, cold, and rude as you are, if that makes me cheap then I will gladly be cheap. Have you taken a good look at yourself? You look so grumpy and lonely”. “Moreover, why are you provoked by the fact that I smile at men? It's not like you are my boyfriend, or do you like me?”. I noticed a slight shock on his face but he immediately shook it off. “Let’s see, I’m not in a good mood this afternoon, so I guess it is time I clip your wings”. With that, he left the restaurant and returned to the office. What just happened? What have I done? Oh, you silly mouth of mine!!! DAMIAN MARTINEZ I returned from the restaurant pissed. I needed to relax, that way I could concentrate better while working. So I strolled towards my window which was large by the way and had a good view of the city. I stood there watching the busy streets, people walking around carrying on with their activities, different cars running through, and most importantly the beautiful aesthetics of the city. The view was beautiful and refreshing, and soon enough I felt really good. But then I heard the sound of the door to my office opening up so I hurriedly looked back to find out who had the guts to come into my office without a knock. There she was, dressed in a skimpy black dress, taking her long flawless hand towards her eyes she pulled her shades and gave me a heart-filled smile. “Hello Dam, it’s been a long time since I last saw your handsome big brother,” Chelsea said as she walked towards me holding out her arms wide open for a hug. I stood still while she gave me a warm embrace, I finally took out my arms and gave her a soft pat on her back. “You should learn how to knock Chelsea, it’s not proper badging into my office unannounced!! What if I was having s*x with a woman!!” “Come off it” she sneered at me “We both know that you are incapable of having a woman by your side. Which woman would say yes to you with your cold personality…” she blurted out “You know this mouth of yours would get you into trouble soon Chels” I walked towards the couch beside me and sat down while Chelsea followed suit. “Let’s talk about something else, How have you been bro?” “Well, doing good..” Chealse scoffs “You call this good? Bro, you look so lonely and not well-fed. Hey, when was the last time you had good food?” Her question got me thinking because aside from coffee I haven’t had anything else to eat since yesterday. “Exactly what I thought?” She exclaimed. Just then a knock was heard at the door “Come in” I said out loud. The door opened and Ann came into the office wearing a sorry face. The silly girl thinks I was serious with my threat, she did nothing but point out the truth. Without letting me say a word she began “Mr Martinez, I am deeply sorry for being rude to you, more especially for the things I said. This job is important to me so I plead that you don’t fire me for my behavior earlier”. As usual, I kept my face straight and cold, “As you can see I am busy. Leave!!” I responded harshly. She looked like a lost puppy, on hearing my words she quietly made a quick turn and left my office. “She is so beautiful, why did you have to talk to her so badly? This is the reason why you would remain single and lonely” Chelsea blurted out unhappy with my reaction. “And who says I’d remain single and lonely? I can have any girl I want including her!!” I claimed in my defence Chelsea scoffed at my reply “Let’s be honest, you have lost your charm and are incapable of having that damsel as a girlfriend” Now Chealse was challenging me and I am the last to back out on a challenge. “How about this, let’s make a bet on her” She added “I BET YOU $500,000 THAT I WILL HAVE HER BY THE END OF THE MONTH!!”
