006:She’s Venom

NIKOLA’s POV

I was lost in my thinking, the fountain looked like I’ve never seen it before, “Err,” The voice of that little cat brought me back to reality.

I turned to her, “What took you so long, little cat?” I asked getting tipsy by the alcohol.

She has a doe eyes, making her look exactly like a cat. “I..I was just…” She mumbled but I scoffed.

“Don’t feel too relax here, they will make you nothing special. Let’s go, I’m getting sick staying here,” I snapped taking the lead which she followed.

My chauffeur brought the car to where I am standing, he came out to open the door, I get in likewise the little cat.

I looked at the chauffeur from the rearview, “I called you 10minutes ago to bring the car, what took you the whole day to get here?” I growled, he held an apologetic face but do I care? No, I don’t.

“I was attending to your sisters, they kept sending me errands to their cars,” He replied and I rolled my eyes, loosing my tie like it’s the one choking me.

“Did I employ you to work for them?!” I yelped getting pissed.

“I thought-“

“As soon as we get to the house just know that you’re fired, I can’t keep an imbecile close. Pack your things and leave. You’re done working for me,” I ordered and rested my head on the window, closing my eyes to avoid any pleads from him.

He should be thankful I didn’t ask for one of his eyes, how dare him!

I could feel Little cat eyes on me. Probably pitying the man? Tsk, she’s too soft.

The car stopped at the park, I got down walking towards the chauffeur, “My keys,” I scowled at him, the chauffeur hurriedly hand over the keys.

“Now, get out. Never return unless you want me to skin you alive,” I warned and with that I was walking away when I remembered the little cat.

“Your work is done for the day,” I turned to her and said. I walked away afterwards.

I pulled out my phone from my pocket, “Come to the master bedroom, Amelia,”

CASSANDRA

I was the only one at the garage, “Why do I feel like Nikola is trying to pass his aggression on someone else? He’s harsh and that’s unusual,” I mumbled but I quickly shrug my shoulders, what’s my concern?

As long as I’m not hurt, He can fire anyone he likes and he can let out his frustrations on anyone. Tsk, I’m not in the position to worry about someone else’s life.

I walked to the elevator and it opened, few minutes later, it revealed the door to my room. I opened the door and walked in, bouncing on the bed as I throw away my bag and heels.

I quickly sit upright, “I’m forgetting about the important thing here, I must be his favorite if I want to survive here alive,” I mumbled.

“To do that, I need Belinda’s help. She’s the only one that knows Nikola dos and don’ts” I added and a smile appeared on my lips.

I ran into the bathroom, showered and pull out a pretty dress from my closet. I walked out, taking the elevator, I arrive at where I can find Belinda. The kitchen.

There she is, “Belinda!” I screamed like I’ve just hit a jackpot.

She was taken aback by my scream that she almost flinched, “Oh my, that scared me.” She mumbled but immediately composed herself.

“Err,,, to what do I owe this visit, Cassandra?” She replied with the modest voice ever which made my skin crawl.

“Oh please, drop the formalities. Please talk to me like an elder sister would,” I mumbled happily.

Belinda understood and straightened up, “So, tell me, what are you doing here? You should still be at the family gathering, isn’t it?” She asked.

I sighed, “One thing led to another and the gathering was ruined, Nikola left angrily,” I replied.

“Oh, let me guess, Tanya messed it up?” She asked and nod with a surprise.

“Yes,, how did you know?”

“I’ve been working with the DeSanto for the past 10years. I know how it works here,” Belinda said and I leaped for more.

“Tanya and Nikola are half siblings and they are not on good terms, family long matters I guess.” Belinda explained further.

Wait, if she knows so much about Nikola’s family, She can help me know how to become Nikola favorite!

“Then teach me,” I blurted, Belinda raised an eyebrow.

“I want to know how to become his favorite, you said it the other time. To survive, I must be on Nikola’s good side,” I concluded and she scoffed.

“Are you planning to die?? Why would you think of that? I told you what happened to Rosa, didn’t I?” Belinda snapped.

“Please Belinda. I want to survive which is why I’m asking you,” I muttered with pleading eyes.

“Girl,,,You’re walking at the verge of death… don’t..” Belinda tried to persuade but I was so determined.

“Okay! Fine! I will tell you what to do but in all you do, Avoid Amelia at all cost.”

“A..Amelia?”

“Yes, Nikola’s Mistress. She’s a venom.”
