Chapter 5

"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. He glares daggers at her, 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 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 that accompany it.

"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 opens once it gets to the fifth floor, and Jayden steps out with Mr. Liam trailing behind as they both head to the conference hall. Just hours ago, Jayden got a call from Mr. Liam that he needs to be at a meeting. It's not that he wants to be there, but does he have a choice? 

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 long, or maybe they have other reasons that could've made them have the expression on their faces. Not that the young man cares about how they feel, anyway.  

The meeting kicks start afterward... 

"We can't agree to that, Mr. Jayden. We already discussed everything with your dad, and we've concluded. 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 made 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 had with my dad. 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. I'm canceling the contract. 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 trails behind him.

Evelyn's office

"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 her, whispering the last part like she's scared of what will happen if her crazy friend hears her. 

After spending the whole day sadly in the office, it's finally time to go home and have some rest. 

"Say that again, and I'll make sure that I throw you out through the window," She threatens 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," Marian whines at her, and she rolls her eyes while packing up the piles of documents on her desk. 

"Sure, I'd also like to visit the mall too," She replies to her, picking up her handbag. 

"Oh, darling thank you so much. You wait here, I'll go deliver this to Mr. Liam," Marian says striding to the door. 

"Meet me at the parking lot. I will be waiting there," She yells after Marian, walking out of the office.

Evelyn walks elegantly to the elevator, but her heart skips when she spots Jayden walking in. What the hell is he doing here? 

Standing side by side with him, her heart beats rapidly against her chest. As much as she's angry about what happened, she's also nervous about being around him. She gulps down nothing nervously, and finally moves her leg to step out of the elevator, but he holds her hand and slams her back against the elevator, hovering over her. Her heart sinks into her stomach. 

"Wh...what are you doing?" She stutters nervously, her heart beating rapidly against her chest. Slamming his hand above her head, and trapping her in between his arms, he stares at her like he'll devour her anytime soon. 

She gulps down nothing nervously...

    Chapter 41"Happy birthday, sweetheart," Mr. Jones smiles at her widely, but she just stands frozen on the spot with a shocked expression on her face. A drop of tears slid down her cheeks as she stares at him with mixed feelings. She's mad at him for the ways he has been treating her, and also happy that he finally shows up to celebrate her birthday with her. She gulps down nothing and bites her bottom lip. "What is going on here?" She finally breaks the silence, her voice not sounding pleasing to the ear, which only expresses her anger. "Uhm... Eve, I invited your dad over to celebrate your birthday with you," Jayden explains, and she scoffs unbelievably. "Why?" This is the only question that escapes her lips as she turns to face Jayden, with anger written all over her face. "Wh... What do you mean?" Jayden stutters confusingly. "Why did you invite him? Did I ask you to?" She snaps at him angrily, after glancing at Mr. Jones. "Eve...""What right do you have to do this shit?

    Chapter 40Three days later... The sound of the blaring alarm pulls Evelyn out of her deep slumber, and she tosses on the bed, before she forces her eyes open, staring up at the ceiling. Again, she has woken up to her miserable life. She took three days off from work, and she's resuming today. The past three days have been filled with her staying indoors and thinking about what happened. "You are a bastard, Raymond," She mutters under her breath, running her fingers through her hair after she sits up on the bed, a drop of tears sliding down the corner of her cheeks. It's not that she wants to think about him, she has only been trying to get him off her head, but the more she tries to, the more difficult it seems to be. "Don't think about him, Eve. Don't cry over him, because that bastard doesn't worth it," She says as she grabs the pillow, and throws it across the room, bursting into tears afterward. "It's fucking difficult to get over you. I thought you loved me. You fucking dec

    Chapter 39She gulps down nothing as she stands up from the bed, trying to keep her sleepy eyes open. "Evelyn threw me out..." She mumbles under her breath, but still loud enough for him to hear her, and he can't help the scoff that tears through his lips. What the hell was she expecting? That Evelyn will still allow her to stay in that house after what happened? She must really be dumb. "And how's that got to do with you being in my house? Were you expecting her to still allow you to live under the same roof with her after what happened?" He snaps at her, and she bites her bottom lip. He's right, anyway. She was too foolish to have expected her to still let her stay there. "Look, I have nowhere else to go...""And how's that my business? Does it look like I give a damn about that? I'm yet to clear the mess you caused, and you want to get me into more trouble?" He sneers at her, and she flinches as her heart misses a beat. Tears brim in her eyes before they stream down her cheeks a

  • Psycho Boss And His Sassy Secretary    Staying with Raymond

    Chapter 38Pulling her suitcase behind her as she walks out of the house minutes later, tears stream down her cheeks. Standing at the roadside, and crying her eyes out like someone that just got her heart broken, Skylar feels her world crumbling down before her very eyes. Now she regrets everything she has done. She shouldn't have continued her relationship with Raymond when she found out that she was her cousin's boyfriend, but she chose to be a fool, and now she's suffering for her mistake. She couldn't bring herself to go to Raymond's house after realizing that the young man never loved her as he claimed. She accepts that it was all her fault, she started this shit in the first place, and she shouldn't have seduced him, but that was because she found him attractive, that was because she couldn't resist the urge, and now she's stuck here. A few minutes later, she finally flags down a cab and hops in without giving him her destination. Maybe squatting with Raymond for now before s

  • Psycho Boss And His Sassy Secretary    Hurt

    Chapter 37Her eyes slowly widen in shock as she stares back at him, wondering what he's talking about. Trying to recall what happened the previous night, she shuts her eyes tightly and holds her head when she feels so blank upstairs. "Just stop trying, girl. I'm just kidding. Nothing happened, OK?" He quickly says to her. Of course, he wouldn't want her to start thinking that he's some pervert that took advantage of her, just because she was drunk. That's the last thing she would ever do to anyone, and not even to his secretary. She's too special to him for him to bring himself to do that to her. Releasing a sigh of relief, she falls back to the bed and stares up at the ceiling as tears brim in her eyes. Recalling everything that happened between Raymond and Skylar, she can only blame herself for being a fool all along. It doesn't hurt that he cheated on her, and neither is she sad because it had to be with her cousin, but she's sad that she never noticed that this dude has been pl
