Trouble with the Billionaire

I'M LATE

[Delianna’s POV]

“Hey, Lia. Where are you going?” Shiela worriedly asked when I returned to our table with a frown. Who wouldn’t be so upset when you finally got your freedom but a monster came and ruined it?

I didn’t replied, I continue to fix my things. I’m done. I’m leaving this place. I grabbed my bag, took my last shot and shouted before leaving, “I’m going home, Shi!”

“But why? We agreed to stay up all night here. Did something came up?”

“Bye, Shiela!” I shouted once again ignoring her question before I left.

I keep clenching my fists when I remembered his face earlier how he smirked at me like he really wants to piss me off. If he’s doing this because the hell I gave him when we were in high school, then fine! I’ll show him that I will not quit this job even if it means drowning me to the hell of fire.

.

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes. The noise from my cellphone on the side table woke me up.

“Fuck.” I cursed when I felt my head spinning around. Hangover? But I drank for about three bottles, how can I have a hangover?

Maybe, it’s because of stress I think? My goddamn boss is giving me headaches for the whole week.

I grabbed my phone and answered the call without noticing the caller I.D.

“Hello?” I asked with a yawn. All I want to do with my day-off is buy some groceries and sleep all day.

“Delianna!” I sat properly and leaned against the headboard after recognizing the owner of that voice.

“Yes, Dannah? Why calling so early?”

“W-well, Sir Chain asked me to call you, and ahm…he needs you here at the office. It’s an urgent meeting with the major stock holders.”

“What?!” I stood up in my frustration.

“You need to go here ASAP. Be here before 9:00 a.m. and he also said that he hates waiting.”

Is he kidding me? Today is my day-off and I should be resting. Is it really urgent or he’s just trying to piss me off? Gosh, I hate him! I gritted my teeth and sighed trying to calm myself down.

“Okay, Dannah. Thank you.” I said before ending the call. I looked up at the wall clock and my eyeballs wanted to get out.

It’s 8:32 a.m.? And he wants me to be there before nine?! s**t. Why didn’t he told me that there’s an urgent meeting last night at the bar where he saw me?

I quickly went inside the restroom after taking some meds for my hangover. I brushed my teeth, took a shower and pooped. I did it all at the same time to save time.

I almost got slid because of panicking while dressing up. I just took a plain sandwich before I left the apartment. I looked at my wrist watch and cussed again.

8:52 a.m.

I was biting my lip as I keep glancing at the traffic lights. I’m stuck in the middle of the traffic, so I was left with no choice but to run. It’ll took ten to fifteen minutes for me to arrive at the office but it’s okay rather than to do nothing.

9:12 a.m.

It’s the time when I finally arrived at the office. The collar of my blouse is f*****g wet because of the sweat racing all over my body. The sun was freaking hot and I was running underneath.

I saw my boss walking back and forth, he keeps glancing at his watch. His palm formed into ball of fists. He must be piss. Well, he has a fault too.

“Where are you now, Anna?” I slowly turned around when it is me whom he’s waiting for. I don’t want to be burned by the fires that will come out from his mouth but little did I know…

“MISS LOPEZ! YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. YOU’RE. f*****g. LATE!”

.

I gulped as the Representative of the Marketing Department is discussing something. I’m holding nine portfolios and I can’t pay attention to what he’s saying.

I’m standing at the corner of the room and Chain is giving me a steamy stare that he wants to bury me alive.

He was late for the conference meeting because of me. The portfolios where the reports are were secured by me. He asked me to review it and he’s ashamed to enter the conference room without the reports.

“My team and I finally decided to make the best alternative to sell the products in a cheaper price.” That’s the signal. I went to the investors and gave each one of them the portfolio.

I feel uneasy. I can feel a weird stare following me and I’m not sure if it’s from Chain or from one of the investors. When I got back to my corner, I gradually pulled my pencil skirt down to cover some parts of my legs.

After Chain and the other investors made the final decision, I instantly cleared the table and congratulated them for doing a good work…not until.

“Chain Ayala, I see you hired a new secretary.” Mr. Evans said, an old man with a grey hair who is staring at me from head to toe.

“Yes, I did. Why is that, Mr. Evans? Do you have any interests in my new secretary?” I avoided their gaze and pretended to be busy. Looking at the rich old man gave me chills.

“She’s obedient…and gorgeous.” I know what’s running inside his head and I know that it’s naughty whatever it is. Gosh, old man, you’re almost the same age as my Father.

“She undergone two plastic surgeries for her nose, one to uplift her lip and one for her hips. Being obedient, she’s just doing it all for money.” I was stunned. Surgeries? Me? Oh my gosh. My beauty is natural like Mother Nature. I saw the disappointment look on the old man’s eyes before he left.

I really can’t stand this. I slapped the portfolios on the table and went to him. We’re both alone on this room and I don’t care whatever he’ll say to me now.

“Are you f*****g serious, SIR?” I said with a piss look on my face. “You just ruined my image to someone and it is not okay!” I pushed him but unlike before, he’s tall and has a masculine form. He didn’t even move.

“He’ll check you out if I complimented you and I don’t want any relationship between my employees and investors.”

“Whatever your reason is, it is still wrong and relationship? I don’t need a sugar daddy! What do you think of me, a w***e?”

“No… but a bitch.”
