Chapter 5
Ava's POV
Now I came to realize it, all along it was a set up by Carlos to get me framed up and humiliate me in public, I held the tears that had wanted to drop, I promised not to cry but rather be brave and face this head on.
"Now tell me, what have you found to steal in my office you low life thrash." He spoke in deep breaths as I fought hard with the tears but couldn't hold back as i let it all out.
"Don't think those crocodile tears will omit you from the punishment that awaits you." He threatened.
"I've never stolen from this company before talk more of doing it now and of all places in your office?" I asked. "You had asked me to come by 5, I have the call recording." I said as I saw the expression in his eyes.
He was shocked to have known I had the recordings.
That night my phone had rang and I saw his call, I just had doubts of everything, so I had to turn on my recorder.
Carlos's POV.
I grimaced when I heard her tell me that she had the recordings, and if by chance she plays it then everyone would know that this was a ploy set up by me.
"You thing formulating an edit of my voice will save you from my wrath?" I asked in an obvious glare.
I had wanted to punish her for her guts, she had the effrontery to take the files to my dad without my consent and now diverting the praises to her.
I had wanted to teach her a lesson for this, but then letting her play the recordings might ruin my plans.
I had to drop the case, but my punishments to her still stands.
"Let's see the recordings." A staff protested.
"I bet it's fake."
"Now enough with this." I spoke as everyone went mute.
"Y'all should be doing something with the time being wasted here." I said as I saw the excitement in their faces die down.
"Get the hell out of here and get your asses to walk." I yelled as with a flinch they all disappeared to their various departments, I took back my gaze to the one that irritated me a lot.
"And as for you " I said in deep breaths coming closer to her as she moved steps back.
"You think you're smart right?" I asked with a smirk as I stared at her phone for a while before snatching it from her hands, and then deleting the recordings, I gave it back to her.
"Now what proof do you have that I actually called you last night?" I asked staring to her.
"W..what have I done to deserve such humiliations?" She asked as I could see another flood of tears glide down her cheeks, and I wanted more to drop.
This was the best way women shows their weaknesses, helplessness and defeat.
"You're asking me that?" I asked with a sarcastic laugh.
"I never knew you were also a good actor." I replied glaring at her.
"Where are the files I had asked of?" I requested, she became muted as she couldn't utter a word.
"Where are the files, goddamn it." I yelled in anger as I cared less if other staffs had their eyes on us.
"I....I.gave it to.." She stuttered as I smirked.
"You gave it to my dad.." I helped her complete her statements as she avoided staring at me.
"I should commend you on doing that right?" I asked with a smirk as she remained silent.
"I f*****g asked you to get that project redone to my satisfaction, but no, instead of that what did you do?" I asked as though expecting her to reply.
"You went behind me and gave it to Mr Chandler." I said.
"After all I was stupid and meant nothing before you right?"I asked as she shook her head off.
"f**k! That's the goddamn truth, I mean nothing to you and that was why you decided it'll be best to steal dad's praises from me huh?" I asked coming even more closer to her.
"N..no sir, I didn't mean it that way." She said.
"Just shut the f**k up." I yelled at her.
"You simply went against my rules and disrespected me because you had no respect for me." I said. " and do you know I can kick you asses of this company, and even the CEO mr. Chandler your favorite, doing nothing." I said as she nodded.
"And why's that?" I asked as though expecting an answer from her, but of course she was so dumb to have an answer to my question. "Because I am his son." I said with a smirk as she bellowed her head in silence.
I then chuckled when my head had gone over something. "You think by doing all that will impress him to make you the CEO of his company right?"I asked laughing out in a scorn.
It was obvious that she was doing everything to impress Mr chandler to possibly make her the CEO of the company.
That had always being her dream, to become a CEO.
I tilted my head a little to her level.
"No matter how hard you try, you can never be any better than this." I said in a taunting tune. "the highest you can ever get to is being my PA and nothing other than that." I said with a chuckle.
I turned back to leave when I halted. "I need you to rewrite that particular project, construct it to my liking or else you're fired." I threatened before walking out.
Ava's POV
I was silent listening to his hurtful words that never adapted to my own way of thinking.
His perception about me was totally wrong, I have the chance of being a CEO someday, and I would work towards that dream, that goal, that unfading ambition.
I don't care if i had to walk through hell to make my dreams a reality, I was willing to do that.
While at the office, serving my punishments, cause this was likely compared to be a punishment than a project, my phone rung as the caller id was Carlos.
"Get ready, you're leaving for Paris with me." Was what I heard before the call got disconnected.
