CHAPTER 24
"s**t! Why? Why him? Isn't there anyone else?" I was in the bathroom, pacing back and forth with nothing else to do.
I wanted to go home and hide my children, I don't want him to see them. He has no right to see them, does he?
"Just s**t!" I angrily pulled at my hair. Then what was his reaction earlier, he didn't recognize me. Is he crazy? He forgets so easily, he forgets so easily?
I calmed myself down, with trembling hands, I took my comb and makeup. Not to look pretty and get his attention, but my hair was messed up from pulling it and slapping my face because I thought it was all a dream and besides, to show him that even though he hurt and cheated on me before, I'm brave now, I'm not the woman who easily falls for him anymore. He's not a loss and most importantly, he's worthless.
Everything he did to me, he did everything to capture me, and here I am, I was easily captured by his flowery words.
"I hate you Ryker Suliiiivan! I hate you to the bone–"
"Is anyone inside?" I suddenly turned to the bathroom door. I had closed it so no one could get in. There are three toilet cubicles here, then I closed it. Damn… because I knew I would go crazy if I went into the restroom, so I locked it first.
"Just a moment!" I shouted, just loud enough to be heard outside. I put my comb and lipstick in my bag after using them.
"Sorry… I didn't realize I locked it," I said shyly to one of the employees in this building.
"Aww, I thought it was broken, so I closed it," she said.
"I'm used to locking it sometimes, so… I didn't realize it was included in what I locked," I said while scratching my head.
"It's okay, go ahead, I'm really bursting!" she said, and we both laughed, I stepped aside so she could pass and we said goodbye to each other.
I gripped my black sling bag tightly. I don't know if I should go back to my table area or just go home first. I feel like I'm going to get sick again just because I saw someone I didn't expect.
Hopefully, he's not inside. Hopefully, he just visited because he saw his secretary, which is me, and then left. Hopefully, because I don't want to see him, not even his clothes, his face… even his shadow, I don't want to see him–"
"You're late, Ms. Corpez." Damn, the timing is not cooperating with me, I just thought to myself that I don't want to see him, but he's really here in front of me.
It's work, it's just work, Aubree Lynn, and this jerk. You forgot about me, you jerk, you forgot about everything that happened between us, well, I'll remind you, playboy, bastard… jerk.
I can't just leave the company now, what reason will I give in my resignation letter? And I don't have another job yet, if I apply to another company, I don't know how much I'll get every month, while here. Everything's secure, and they pay well. In the many times I spent applying before, I was looking for a job everywhere, this is the only one that accepted me that fits my course. Now?
"Are we playing a staring contest, Miss Corpez? I've been asking here for a while now where the other files for our annual revenue this month are, the ones the former CEO left with you!" Look at this rude guy, even though he's referring to his uncle, he doesn't even know how to be respectful.
He's really a jerk. You're the CEO there, I don't know if my black eyes are focused on you, do you think I'm really looking at you? Dream on, bastard!
"I'll just get it, excuse me sir," I answered and turned my back on him after saying that, "for your information… I don't have time to stare at you, you demon." I whispered to myself.
I went to the office administrator to get the documents the jerk needed. I don't know why, but I'm really not in the mood to show myself to him. I really don't want to see his face. I want to go home, but it would be rude to go home without saying goodbye. What reason will I give? Tsk.
I crossed my arms over my chest and was lost in thought. I regretted going to the office and not even asking Lanie what our new boss's name was so I could have prepared a resignation letter without showing myself to him. The thing my coworkers said that I would be replaced if I didn't show up the next day, I wouldn't have a problem now.
Later, I'll try to search online if anyone is looking for a job. I need a new job that pays the same or better, the one that pays more than this. Hays… my dream salary is so high, I should find a job that I can handle and won't stress me out.
Before I entered the office of that animal, Sullivaño, I knocked three times, but I almost threw the papers I was carrying because he suddenly appeared in front of me while I was opening the door, was he standing there waiting for me all this time?
"Is that how your former CEO taught you to be slow at work?" I was surprised at his question. He was staring at me while he had his hands in his pockets.
"W-what? N-no.. no sir." I said, bowing my head because I couldn't handle his presence. I feel like throwing up.
I heard him chuckle softly. "No- Are you sure about that, Miss Corpez? It seems like you don't want me to be your next CEO? Am I right?" I really want to say yes. Mr. Abad is better and kinder than you.
He took the documents he needed from my hand and walked to his table. No matter what suit he wears, it still doesn't suit him. He still looks like a jerk, whatever you call his style.
He looked at me after he sat down in the swivel chair. He raised his right eyebrow. "Am I right, Miss Corpez? With me being this handsome, you'll reject me?" He smirked.
Yuck! You're full of hot air, but because I couldn't stand his questions anymore.
I walked to the table and shamelessly rested my palms on his table and bent down, I just lowered my body so he could hear me properly. He was surprised, but the jerk still had a slight smile while looking at the documents and back at me.
"What if I say that… I'm better off and I prefer Mr. Abad to be our CEO.. sir Sullivaño. He's good, sir, and a kind person, and most importantly, he doesn't cheat." He was surprised by what I said, but it quickly disappeared and the crazy guy laughed.
Using his rolling chair, he moved away from me as if I had a deadly disease while laughing. I really want to throw the vase on his table at his face. "I don't know you Ms. Corpez, but so far I like your fighting spirit. That kind of attitude is what our company needs, wanna know why? You're answering back to the owner of this company. Good, because I hate it when a secretary gets a little wrong in her work and she's already crying. But you? You're… different." He said, still laughing alone while looking at me with a sticky gaze.
I glared at him. I gritted my teeth thinking he doesn't know me. I don't know you, huh. You're a jerk! I hope you never remember me again if you have amnesia, you jerk. Because even if you apologize, I will never accept you or forgive you if you realize you were wrong about what you did to me.
"Do you need anything, sir?" I just asked in stiff English, even though I was nauseous saying sir. I don't want to deal with him anymore, especially since I'm feeling bad.
He looked at his wristwatch and what he was reading before looking up at me, and before our eyes met, I looked away.
"Nothing, Ms. Corpez. You may go now." He said, and because of what he said, I felt like I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
I just nodded and didn't say anything else to him. Because I suddenly felt weak, I could barely see the door. I felt like my fever was back.
Before I could take a step out of his office, my vision suddenly went dark and I just waited for my body to fall on the cement before I passed out.
