What's he doing?

"Are you not going to get the hell out of my way?" His voice disrupts her, and she flinches, realizing that she has been hallucinating. That was what she would've done to this bastard, but she doesn't want to lose her job, at least not now. It's not that she can't work somewhere else, but she so much loves this company, and wouldn't want to leave it. "I'm sorry, Sir," She bows her head slightly, walking away from him, and he glares daggers at him, then rolls his eyes and strides into the elevator. Taking a deep breath, she closes her eyes and throws her head back trying to control her anger. Nobody would dare try that nonsense with her on normal days, so he should thank his luck that he's her boss, else, he would've had his ill manners to blame. Finally, she turns around and walks away to her office, huffing almost every second. Her phone has been spoilt by that jerk, and as if it wasn't enough to get her angry, he went ahead to insult her. What kind of a man is he? "Jerk!" She scoffs angrily and glances at her broken phone before striding to her office. Stepping into the office that's already crowded with her colleagues, she walks over to her seat and slumps on it, having a deep frown on her face. As much as she wants to punch that bastard in the face, she can't bring herself to do that to save herself the consequences. "Are you OK, Eve?" Marian asks her worriedly, and she grimaces instead, heaving a deep sigh. Reaching out for her phone that's now lying on her desk, she turns the screen to face Marian, and she gasps sharply. "Oh my God, Eve! What happened to your phone? Did someone match on it?" Marian asks unbelievably, taking the phone from her and checking it out. "All thanks to your boss, Marian. That dude is a bastard. I want to strangle him to death..." She whines angrily, reclining on the chair and throwing her head back while closing her eyes. "Huh? What did you do to him?" Marian asks stupidly, and she scoffs angrily. "I didn't do anything to him and even if I did, why break my phone? That dude is a bastard," She whines again. "Come on, Eve..." "Don't say anything, please. I know you're going to take sides with him. He has ruined my day, don't complicate things for me, please," She says to her dismissively, and finally takes her attention to her desktop... The elevator opened once we got to the fifth floor, and we stepped out, before going to the conference hall. I'm having a meeting with some of my clients, which will kick off in less than five minutes, and I'm sure they must've arrived already. Jayden walks elegantly into the conference hall, with Mr. Liam trailing behind him. He was supposed to have been here ten minutes ago, but all thanks to Eve that delayed him. The faces of the men sitting around the long table aren't looking happy, maybe because they were kept waiting for a long, or maybe they have other reasons that could've made them have the expression on their faces. The meeting kicks start afterward... "We can't agree to that Mr. Jayden. We already discussed everything with your dad, and we've agreed, I see no reason why we should be talking about this again," Mr. Leon, the CEO of Leon communication company snaps angrily, slamming his hands on the desk as if to scare him, but he just stares at the man like he's acting drama. Mr. Leon used to be one of his dad's business partners and is now his business partner since he's now the new CEO. If only this man knows who he's dealing with, then he wouldn't have this mistake. Maybe they have forgotten that the deal they had with his dad has no business with him. This is his time, and his rules now stand. For goodness sake, how could his dad have done business with these men, and agreed to share the income at the rate of sixty and forty percent? Who does that? That's supposed to be the problem between them and his dad anyways. Since he's here now then everything has to be replanned again. "I don't care about the agreement you all had with my dad. Whatever agreement you had with him have no business with me. I am saying this now, as the new CEO of Turner enterprise, I don't agree with that..." He pauses and leans on the table and looks at them one after the other. "And to cut the long story short, I'm not interested in investing in that business again. Is either you agree to my terms, which is sharing the income at the rate of eighty and twenty percent, or you all pay back the money that my dad invested in this business... to the last dime..." He pauses again, then stands up to his feet and leans over the table. "I give you all seventy-two hours to provide it. Else...you won't like what will happen. I'm done here," And with that, he adjusts his suit and strides out of the hall, while Mr. Liam trail behind him. Eve POV All thanks to that jerk, my day at work today was ruined. What was I even expecting? It seems that I'll be troubled henceforth with him in this company. If anyone ever told me that Mr. Turner's son will be this annoying and arrogant, and if I was ever told that the flawless Jayden I used to admire on TV is an asshole in reality, I wouldn't have believed it. I think ladies crushing on celebrities they see on TV should put a stop to that s**t, because most of them are not who they look like on TV. Jayden is indeed a big turn-off for me. Very arrogant and stupid young man. "Are you still sad about what happened? Come on, Eve... You can always get another phone, you know? Not that you don't have money to get it," Marian says to me, whispering the last part, but damn her, I heard that. She's unbelievable. "Say that again, and I'll make sure that I threw you out of the window," I threaten her, and she quickly holds her lips together with two of her fingers. "My bad. I'm sorry dear. He was wrong for doing that to my baby girl. I'm so sorry on his behalf. Uhm... Eve... Can you please drop me off at the mall? I need to get some things," She whines at me, and I roll my eyes. , while packing up the piles of documents on her desk. "Sure, I'd also like to visit the mall too," I reply to her, picking up my bag. "Oh, darling thank you so much. You wait here, I'll go deliver this to Mr. Liam," She strides to the door. "Meet me at the parking lot. I will be waiting there," I yell after her, walking out of the office. Walking over to the elevator, I walk inside after the door opens. Waiting patiently for the door to close, the most despicable person suddenly walks in, and my heart misses a beat. It's my annoying boss. Why the hell does he have to show up this time? It feels so awkward to have him around me in the elevator. I don't know if I should say hi to him, or mind my business. My breath suddenly begins hitching, and I quickly press the button so I can step out and maybe use the stairs instead, he suddenly grabs me and slams my back against the wall. "Wh...what are you doing?" I stutter nervously as I feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest. Slamming his hand above my head and trapping me in between his arms, staring at me like he'll devour me anytime soon. And I gulp down nothing...
