Lahat ng Kabanata ng Easy, Mr. Bigshot: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

Feeling annoyed, I turned off my phone. I did not want to think about this. When it was time for lunch, though, I found myself heading to the cafe just as she told me to. I didn't want to stick my head in the sand like an ostrich, I guess, and I didn't think Anna would let me go if I sat this out. Arriving at the cafe, I spotted her sitting next to the window. In her fashionable clothes and artisan-level makeup, she looked like an elegant little doll sipping her coffee. I had to admit, she was really beautiful.I took a deep breath and walked toward her. I pulled out a chair and sat. "Would you like a coffee, Ms. Serena?" she asked."I don't have time for coffee, Ms. Anna. Please get to the point."Anna reeled for a millisecond before recovering with a smooth smile."Like to take things head-on, do you? Good. Suits me fine,” she said, “I know you and Jethro have a thing going on, but surely you know who I am to him, right? I'm his girlfriend."I already expected her to say t

"Why leave when we haven’t even bought anything yet?" Jethro tugged my hand.I glared at him. If I knew he was coming here for some such unholy items, I never would’ve come with him. I couldn't believe he decided to leave the comfort of home at night, after work, just to buy these things."Go on your own!" I'm staying right here!"He let go. "Are you sure you want to be out here?""You bet your money I am!" I declared firmly."Fine. I'll deal with you later tonight after I finish my shopping."Jethro went inside the shop alone. I stood there and gradually felt the urge to leave. He had once again proved what a combination of tyranny and shamelessness looked like. He certainly spent his sweet time in there. When he came out, I saw the cashier looking at him with goo-goo eyes. He got close to me and gave me a smirk. "Wanna see what I got for you?"I caught him sizing me up with that lecherous look and snarled, "No! I don't want to see your loot!"I stopped. Did he say he got so

I panicked. Even the way Misha was looking at me had changed. She was the only one in the entire office who wasn't out to get me, so if she was looking at me that way…"I-I'm g-going to buy lunch now!" I stammered and fled. The whole process was marked by suspicion and panic. Was this another of Jethro’s power moves? Making himself seem close to me at work, right in front of everyone—what the hell was his ulterior motive? He could’ve just texted me if he needed someone to buy him lunch.I tried to look as calm as I could when I dropped his food on his desk and turned to leave. "Have you eaten?" Jethro asked. I froze. "No, but I’m about to."I hope he wasn't planning to make my life harder by dumping new tasks on me during my lunch break."Good. We can have lunch together then. I don't think I can finish this alone, so I'd appreciate an extra mouth," he said flatly.What the hell?!"Umm, how about no? You're the CEO of this company and what you're suggesting is waaaay too in

They must be the ones behind this! I marched toward them with a glare. Yesterday's harassment had already tried my patience, but dragging my work into this petty shit? I spent days designing that proposal! "Fess up. Who has it?" I demanded."What’re you talking about? No one took anything of yours. Do you always blame other people for your own problems?" one of the women retorted."Don't play coy with me. I know one of you did it. You’d better give my damn proposal back right now! It's important and urgent!" I raised my voice at the sight of their smug satisfaction."And I told you we didn't do jackshit, girl! Chill out!" "She's just trying to frame us for not finishing the work she was supposed to do for Mr. Jethro. What a bitch!"They were all in it together, weren't they?"So you people know Mr. Jethro wants it. Do you know how pissed he'd be if he found out you guys stole my proposal?" I said, waving Jethro as a threat.They might admire Jethro, but that didn't mean the

By the time I stepped inside Jethro’s office, Lucina already had her hand on his shoulder. The distance between them was way too close for my liking. I couldn't believe Jethro was letting her do this. He rejected her the last time, so why wasn't he doing it now? Couldn't resist her anymore? "This is the design proposal for Baker-Mae,” I announced and placed the document on the desk.Jethro passed the proposal to Lucina and pushed her hand away from his shoulder. "Look over it, Ms. Lucina. If there's anything else you need added in, please let us know.”"I don't think I need to look over it at all, Mr. Jethro. I'm that confident in Titan Ads," Lucina replied, leaning in close to him.I was seething but I couldn't do anything. I was just a normal employee with "no relation or relationship" to Jethro. The man himself seemed unfazed. Maybe he had gotten used to this sort of treatment."Good. Then I suppose you may leave now. I have much to attend to for the day. Thank you for your
