"Aaa! it's hurt, Dad!" cried Nagita. Mr. Martin pulled Nagita's hand out of the room. Now they are in the large frontcourt.
Nagita's entire face was red, holding back the embarrassment; she was already twenty-four years old but still treated like a child.
"Tell me! Did you give the invitation card or not!" Mr. Martin's voice went up, but this time, there was no one around them.
Nagita stroked her arm, which hurt from her father's overpowering grip. She still grimaced, "It hurts," with both of her eyes slightly dimming.
Mr. Martin regretted it, but he withholds his apology to Nagita. His daughter had to learn a lesson for disobeying her orders.
"I didn't...," Nagita replied.
"What!" cried Mr. Martin. His voice was shrill, and Nagita could feel the tiny hair on her arms standing in horror.
Her mouth trembled, her heart was pounding, while her knees were shaking.
"Look for Cassandra now and bring her to this event in an hour, or else you'll bear the consequences!" Mr. Martin said with a flat facial expression. When Nagita looked at her father, Nagita was frightened even more.
Mr. Martin has a project in the city worth 10 billion. It's a good start for his other business plans. In the past, the project belonged to the late Mr. Jake, but Mr. Jake handed it over to Mr. Martin. But only Cassandra can fully explain the said project.
"But Father," Nagita whined, but her voice stammering with fear. Her hands outstretched forward, shook, and said, "I lied when I said I had given it, but I didn't lie when I said Cassandra was sick. She's probably resting in bed right now..."
Nagita is disgusted with Sam because he ruined her plans. She reminded herself that after today's problem, she will teach Sam a lesson.
However, Mr. Martin didn't want to play around; he's furious. " Tell me once more that Cassandra is sick—then I'll ask you to bring her doctor here." Mr. Martin warned while gritting his teeth.
How could I bring her doctor? Bringing Cassandra here is almost impossible! Nagita said in her heart.
"Dad, I told you, she's sick, she must rest at home..." Nagita explained, her voice was trembling with her teary eyes.
Mr. Martin grasped and held Nagita's hand. At that point, Mr. Martin just spoke calmly in front of Nagita's ear.
"I will give you an hour... Bring Cassandra here, otherwise, I'll kick you out of the house and I won't consider you as a child anymore."
"What?!" Nagita's voice almost screamed. She couldn't believe she wouldn't be considered a child anymore.
Just for the sake of that useless woman! Nagita roared in her heart, but she can do nothing, she knew her father was not joking.
In her fear that her father's anger might increase, Nagita immediately got out and drove to Cassandra's house.
Twenty minutes passed. Nagita is now at the door of Cassandra's mansion.
"Hey! open the door!" cried Nagita, her voice was loud. She pressed the bell button next to the door, one after another.
The security who worked in front of the gate came to Nagita.,
"I told the servant, soon they will open the door," and after a few seconds, the door was opened and the servant immediately greeted Nagita.
"Good evening, Miss Nagita," greeted the woman in a black-and-white uniform. She bowed to salute Nagita.
"Where is she!" Nagita didn't want to mention Cassandra by name; she immediately entered the house in hasty steps.
"In a moment, I'll call Lady Cassandra, you can wait here."
However, Nagita continued walking to the living room. "Cassandra!" cried Nagita impatiently. The tip of her eyes glanced towards the wall clock, surprised to realize that the time she had was only thirty minutes. "Cassandra!" she called again.
Three minutes after Nagita called Cassandra, Cassandra was already at the top of the stairs. "Don't you have any manners?" asked Casandra, her voice exasperated.
Nagita twisted her body, looking towards the sound. "Cassandra, quickly! Wear any of your dresses. You don't have to wear an elegant dress, come with me right away."
When Nagita saw Cassandra unmoved, she added, "Hurry up!"
Cassandra's forehead shriveled. "What's wrong with you, why are you causing a scandal in my house?" asked Cassandra cluelessly. "Why do you need to shout when entering another's house and demand to a person from out of the blue?" Cassandra's voice was slow but firm.
"Listen! I don't have much time. Come with me, now!" Nagita screamed.
Cassandra chuckled. She descended the stairs slowly and walked towards Nagita. "Do you want me to call the security guard? Or do you want me to send you in jail for trespassing? " asked Cassandra. Recalling the slap that floated right in her face this afternoon and how Carlos' hand prevented her from slapping Nagita back, she wants to tease Nagita now.
Cassandra held back the gnashing of her teeth. She stared intently at Nagita. But inwardly, all her blood was pounding with hatred.
Nagita smiled slyly. "I don't care how many guards you have right now! You have to listen to me, change your clothes now, and come with me to--"
"I do not want!" said Cassandra in a loud voice, folding her hands in front of her chest, she's toying with the haughty girl who was ruling her right now.
Nagita was offended, she can't accept rejection. Her forehead wrinkled deeply as she said, "Don't talk much, quickly, just do what I say."
Cassandra's laughter grew louder and filled the house. She clapped her hands, then smiled mockingly towards Nagita; making Nagita upset twice as she is recent. Her eyes glanced towards the large wall clock hanging near the luxurious living room, she was even more upset. Cassandra noticed that ... so she preferred to play with Nagita.
"I'm sleepy, can I sleep now?" asked Cassandra, happy to play around with Nagita.
Argh! The time is running! Nagita exclaimed in fear. Her face was anxious. She must immediately bring Cassandra to her father.
She knew her father was serious when she said she would drive her away if he could not take Cassandra with her. The billion-dollar project was very important to her father. The event taking place today is Mr. Martin's only chance to close a deal with Governor Charles. As a governor, Governor Charles has the power to approve projects that are beneficial to his constituency, especially if it is also beneficial to him... However, many tycoons also want to set up a business in the location that Mr. Martin wants, so, if he can't convince the governor tonight, he's sure that someone will, and when that happens, Nagita will receive the greatest nightmare of her whole life.
"Please, tell me... what do you want!" Nagita asked, her voice sounding a bit begging.
"Me?" asked Cassandra. "Isn't that obvious?" Cassandra's eyes stared intently at Nagita.
"I. Want. To sleep." Word for word Cassandra spoke sharply and piercingly as if the girl standing in front of her was still in the developmental level of spelling age, then she smiled at Nagita, teasingly.
She didn't want to be punished by her father. "Please Cassandra." Nagita's voice squealed. Nagita was already unable to think of anything. Her sane mind had disappeared a few hours ago when her father snapped at her.
Both of Cassandra's hands moved to her waist, while staring at Nagita as if no serious matters is going on, and said,
"It's a big NO. "
Nagita thought hard, she had to take Cassandra right now, otherwise, they would be late.
"You must know the reason I came here!" snapped Nagita, as she got annoyed with Cassandra. Cassandra just wants to play with her. Nagita's mind wants to get out of the bitch's house as soon as possible. Nagita was disgusted to see Cassandra even longer. She hated Cassandra.
Cassandra saw the obvious emotion on Nagita's face, she chuckled, then said, "What should I know about that for. I'm sure it has absolutely nothing to do with me." Cassandra replied calmly, every move she made, she did elegantly, making Nagita's heart and soul heat up instantly.
She's a crazy woman! Nagita said in her heart.
"Of course this all has something to do with you!" Stupid! Nagita's breath gasped in the breath of her sentence. "Why would I come here if it had nothing to do with you!"
"I told you, I don't want to know!"
Cassandra twists her body to leave Nagita alone, but with a quick movement, Nagita immediately pulls Casandra's hand.
"Listen to me first!" asked Nagita with a begging face. "My father is awaiting Governor Charles to present the project he is proposing. Only you can do that presentation--"
"Wow? Haha ... and then?" asked Cassandra, one of her eyebrows raised. "Do you want to say I'm the only one who can do that presentation well?" Cassandra laughed out loud.
Nagita pressed both of her teeth. Her lips were slurs, she couldn't possibly say it, but for the sake of anything, there was no other choice but to make Cassandra happy.
"Yes. Only you can do that presentation well. Your arrival was needed by my father," Nagita finally said, but she deliberately turned her face in the other direction, refusing to look at Cassandra's face.
Cassandra laughed out loud. "Let go of my hand then!" exclaimed Cassandra.
