"What did you do!!??" Hazel asks between gritted teeth as she pulls on the collar of my clothes.
"Just something to block the reception in this office...." I answered with a playful smile.
Hazel hurriedly release the grip on my collar before walking towards the door. When she was about to open the door, I pin her at the door from behind.
"Let me go!! You damn slut!!" Hazel struggles in my grasp but I quickly hug her with my arm while pulling on her hand that was about to reach the doorknob.
"Shouldn't you listen to what I'm about to say first?" I whisper in her ears.
"I have nothing to listen to, now, LET.ME.GO!!!" She struggles harder but not enough to break free from my hug.
"Did you know that your sister almost got killed yesterday?" Hazel's body stiffen when she heard my words.
"Too bad your little exchange with Cyrill failed, right?". I smile in her ear. "Are you willing to talk to me now?"
Hazel stops her struggle but I feel her body trembling. "What do you want...?" Her face becomes paler as her voice sounds weaker.
I released her body from my hug and turn her body to face me. Holding her chin, I lift her face so I can look her in the eyes. Despite that, she avoids my gaze with a frown.
"Tsk tsk... To think that this pretty face is wasted on a girl who likes to frown". I tilted her face from side to side before releasing it. " How about you smile more, it will do good to both of us!!"
"Shut up!!! Get to the damn point!!! What do you want!!?" She pushes me hard and I staggered a little bit, before managing to stand properly.
"Hahahahahaha!! How about we both sit first?" I fix my crumpled collar before turning away. I gesture at her with a big smile to sit on the couch in front of me. Hazel walks slowly and sit on that couch while glaring at me.
" I want to make an exchange with you..." As I said that, I realized a little movement that Hazel make under the coffee table between us. I smile at her little trick but choose to ignore it.
"An exchange?" She asked despite her uninterested expression.
I smirk at her. I lean on the couch I'm sitting on while playing with my finger before looking at her. "You see... Miss Hazel, after a few investigations I make, I found that you are pretty Cunning!" I clasp my hand as I lean forward. "You exchange a lot of information with Cyrill about President Scarlett's daily routine... That's pretty observant of you!!"
Hazel flinched a little but still maintain her glares at me. "What do you want exactly!!!???" I saw she grips the phone in her hands tightly. "Does Scarlett know?" Her pupils shake as she asks that last question.
"Fu fu..." I chuckle as I stare at her. " Are you scared she or your father retaliate against you? " I stand up and walk slowly behind her despite that, Hazel still looking down at the floor and hide her phone that's still recording our conversation.
I bend down and hugs her neck as I rest my chin on her shoulder. " I won't tell Scarlett about your little action, or your dad". Hazel shrinks her neck when I whisper in her ear again. " Luckily, I was there. If not, Scarlett will not see the light of today".
"I heard that you win a project from this company that was under Qiu company before. Did he gave that to you after you exchange that information with him?" Hazel's body trembles again.
"Do you have any proof?" She asks between gritted teeth.
"Heh.. in fact, I do have a lot of proof!! Starting from your little action," I grip her chin gently and lift her face. " — To all the dark secrets that Qiu Cyrill hides during his time as the president. Even more than what little information you have about him." I stroke her cheek slowly before releasing my arm that wrapped around her neck.
I walk to her front, lift her hand, and see the panic in her eyes. I smile at her before sitting on her lap and hug her neck again. My face is now close to her face.
"You...." She tried to pull her face farther from me, but I didn't let her get away that easily, and now, she is stuck in this position.
"I will keep your secret, best, I will even erase the evidence for you". Hazel looks shocked as she stares at me. "So, when Scarlett retaliate against her enemies, you will not be one of them".
"In exchange, what do you want from me?" She asked with shaky eyes.
I pull her face closer to me until we are a breath away. " Give your heart to me..." I blush a little as I confess what my heart desires.
"What!?" Hazel surprised voice resounding in the office. She stares at me with wide eyes. "Heart as in the organ? You want me to die!!!?" Her face turns paler as she struggles again and trying to push me away.
"No!!!" I get up and pinned both her hand on top of her head. She looks at me with fear in her eyes. I bite my lip before letting out a sigh.
"Your heart as in..." I put my face closer to her until I am a breath away before kissing her lightly at the corner of her lips. " as in what lover did".
I look up to see her stunned face before releasing her hand that was pinned by me before standing up from her lap.
Hazel touches the corner of her lips as she looks down at her feet.
"I like you..." I said again.
"Okay..." She replied with a weak voice.
"Huh!!?? You are fine with it!!??"
Hazel raises her face and glares at me. "What do you expect!!!?? You are blackmailing me!!!!" She shouted.
I frown when I heard her explanation. "Didn't you heard me!!? I said I want your heart! Not your body!!!" I bend down to the same level as her face and put my hands on either side of her head.
"I didn't blackmail you for you to love me!! I blackmail you to stop whatever evil things you are planning and about to do!!!"
"I don't want you to make the same mistake. I'm giving you a chance not forcing you to live in a birdcage!!"
"You!!! " She looks at me with complicated eyes. "You can't even give me what I want the most!!" She pushes me again.
"I can!! As long that I know it will make you happy, I can give it to you!!! So, please give me the chance to chase you!!"
"Then!! I want to become the president, No! I want to become a CEO. Can you give me that!!?" She stares at me with a mocking smile. After a few seconds, she speaks again. "If you can make me a CEO, love or not... I will marry you!!"
When she said the last sentence, I smile widely at her. "Hehe... You promise!!! No taking it back!!" I pull a pen recorder from my pocket and play a playback at her.
[— "Then!! I want to become the president, No! I want to become a CEO. Can you give me that!!?" ]
["If you can make me a CEO, love or not... I will marry you!!"]
"I've recorded it!!! You can't break your promise, Okay!!!" I hug her tightly. "I will make you happy!! I promise!!!" After that, I kissed her cheeks but was pushed by her again.
"Hey!! You are too confident!! If you fail!! Don't appear in front of me ever again!! I want you to quit this job and leave this country!!".
" hahaha!!! I will marry you for sure!!! And get your heart at the same time!! I give her the last peck on her cheek and look at her face again. "Let's have a date next week!!! I will text you the date! You can't refuse!! Bye!!"
After that, I leave the stupified looking Hazel alone in her office with a smile on my face.
"Seems like starting a new company will be my new objective!!!"
When I leave Hazel's office, I said goodbye to her secretary and walk to President Scarlett's office.
"Hey, prez!! Are you busy?" I open the door with a big smile on my face.
The President looks at me weirdly. "Something?"
"Nothing really... Just wanting to talk to someone". I sit on the couch in front of her desk.
"To think that a day where my worker's head is big enough to come into my office leisurely just to talk". She smirks before drinking from a coffee cup beside her.
" you're late today, why?" She asked.
"Oh... I had a nightmare and I can't get up.." I shrug as I wave my hand. " it's nothing...must be because I forgot to take a bath before sleep.
"Huh... Sounds weird coming from you..." She pursed her lips.
" Actually... I'm in love with someone..." I support my head with my arm as I put my elbow on the armrests.
"Ahhh... Who's that unlucky guy?" The president chuckles and I roll my eyes in return.
"It's a girl..."I stare at the president with a big smile.
" It's not me right? " She stares at me suspiciously.
"Euw!! No!! No way!!! " I roll my eyes again
"HaH... Thank goodness " she let out a relieved sigh before taking a big sip from her drink.
"It's your sister".
" POOOFffff!!!!!! " *cough* *cough* "Say that again!!??" She chokes on the water she drank.
"Your sister, Sol Hazel". I smirk as I lean on the couch.
" Are you serious!! Hah!! If she is even willing to date you I will buy you a car of your choice". The president scoffed mockingly at me. " That little iceberg is even colder than me. I can even count the words she said to me in this month!"
"Wait a minute" I quickly text Hazel the date and time for the dates next week. As I wait for her reply, I ask the president to repeat her dare.
"I, Sol Scarlett promise that I will buy, Serena William the car of her choice if she gets to bring my sister, Sol Hazel on a date". She repeats her words as I record them.
After that, notifications come in. I open my chatbox excitedly.
Hazel Baby: Fine!
: Yay!!!
: You can wear anything you find comfortable. It doesn't have to be too formal and revealing. Just wear what you want!! I will pick you up that day!!
Hazel Baby: hmm
After that, I changed my attention to the president.
"Koenigsegg Trevita!! Buy that for me!! I want to go on a date with Hazel next week with this car!!"
And the smile on the president disappeared.
