"Good morning, Miss..." My employees greeted me with so much respect and with a sweet smile in their faces but I just rolled my eyes and flip my hair, then, I just continue walking.
"Miss Miles, good morning!" Jewel greeted. She's my personal assistant and my long time secretary. I just give her my handbag. She held with care.
"What's my schedule for today?" I asked in a serious tone while I'm looking at my nails.
"Uh..." I saw how she pinched her own finger. Tss. Nervous?
"Don't tell me, you don't know my schedule yet." I asked calmly but I looked at her with my sharp eyes.
"MI-miss... I already saw your schedule but I didn't to memorized it cause I'm doing the report you gave me this early morning, that's why I for—"
"So, it's my fault? Is it my problem now? Huh?" I raised my right eyebrow to her.
"No, Miss... It's my f-fault..." She said nervously.
"Of course! It is your fault."
"I'm sorry, Miss... I just so—" I immediately cut her words.
"STOP!" I shouted that's why she stopped and she bow a bit. I saw how her hands shake. I just rolled my eyes and I started to walk towards my office but I stopped when I saw one of my employee is eating.
"Why are you eating?" I asked that's why, He panicked.
"I'm sorry, Miss..." He apologized and hide his food.
"Jewel!"
"Yes, Miss?" Jewel answered.
"Get his food and put it on a trash." I command. Jewel obeyed me. I faced my employee. "I already told you that when it's time to work, just do work and not some petty things. If I saw someone is not doing his/her work, I'm going to fire all of you. Focus on your works!" I said. They all immediately faced their laptops and some papers.
"Miss..." I faced Jewel.
"I'm giving you a fvcking minute to get your d@mn notes for my schedule." I said in strict tone, then, I go to my office and sat on my swivel chair.
"So, what's my schedule?"
"Uhm.... *She cleared her throat* You have meeting with Mr. Hermosa in 10 am. You also have lunch meeting with the stockholders. You have appointment with your designer in 3 pm. Then, dinner with your cousin in 7 pm. You also need to sign this papers. And your Uncle Daniel said call him. He doesn't said the exact time but he said he needed to talk you today." She said while looking at her notes when she finished it, she raised her head for me. I raised my left eyebrow that's why she bow a bit.
"Is that all?" I asked with my serious face and while playing my pen in my finger.
"Yes, Miss Miles," She answered and her voice shake a hit.
"Did you know periodic table?" I asked in a calm way.
"Yes, Miss."
"Until now? All of it?" I asked. She raised her head to take a look at me but I glared at her that's why she bowed again.
"Y-yes..." She answered in nervous but respectful way.
"Then, why you didn't memorized my stupid and very short schedule?" I asked her and throw the pen in front of her.
"Miss Miles, I'm so sorry... I'm just get occupied with my works and I also cleaned/prepared your office for your arrival. I didn't mean—"
"Enough for reasons, it's still not change the fact that you made a mistake today. Get out of my office now." I said and rolled my eyes at her.
"Are you not going to fire?" I can sense how she scared is when she asked it.
"You want?"
"No!" She answered immediately while she shaking her head.
"Are you shouting at me?" She shook her head again and again. "If you don't want to get fire, then get out now and bring the papers that I needed. I want it here in 60 seconds. And your time start now." That's why she almost remove her heels just she can walk fast. What an idiot. Tss.
I'm Millicent Creed. Miles for short. 23 years old turning 24 this year. At age of 22, I graduated and work immediately until I become CEO of our company. I don't like my work here but I have no choice.
Heartless woman, Rude, Harsh, B1tch, Strict, Disrespectful, Bad girl, Witch, Evil that the example on what people thinks about me. Everyone hates me except to my cousins, uncle, and auntie. Well, I don't care about the haters. I don't care if the mad at me or else. This is me and I won't change myself just to make them love me. And I don't need their love,anyway.
"Your 5 seconds late." I said while looking at my wrist watch when Jewel came.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Miles. But I try my very best just to get here in time." She breathing so hard. I put the papers on my desk with so much care.
"Then, your best is not enough." I said straightly and with criticism. I rolled my eyes when I saw her bowed. I sighed before start to talk again. "Well, that's not new. You're always messing up." I rolled my eyes again and flip my hair. "Leave now." I said and started to look the papers.
I just read, check and signed those stupid papers. I got bored hard when I go to the meetings that I needed to attend. Hay! I really hate all of this. Why I need to suffer in this?
"Hey! Hey! Yow cous, what's up?" Gio greeted at me with a big and sweet smile in her face. We also did the high five things. Giovanni is one of my cousin and he's the second youngest in our family.
"How was your day?" Ken asked while he's facing the menu. Aiken is one of my cousin too. He's the oldest and the most busy.
"Nothing's new." I answered like it's nothing. I get the menu and start to find what to eat.
"Maybe like the usual, she become monster and grumpy boss in their company." Gwen said and then she smirked at me. Gwen is Gio's older sister.
"You'll grow old fast if you're always like that, sis..." Aaliyah said. The youngest in our family and the girl version of Gio.
"Well, Sis Miles will really grow old fast because of your stubbornness." Danica teased her. She's Uncle Daniel's only daughter.
Iyah pouted because of that's why we laughed at her.
"So, I'm your happy pill now?" She said and rolled her eyes.
"You're so cute." Dylan said with a smile. Nica's older brother. Dy also pinched Iyah's cheek that's why she pouted more.
"But did you know that she have a new boyfriend again?" Dion asked while he's pointing Iyah. Nica's older brother too.
"Really?" I asked and I looked at Iyan.
"Who's that freaking boy?" Ken asked too and he raised his eyebrow to Iyah. I saw how our cousin teased Iyah.
"Uhm... He's bit my boyfriend. It's just a fling, okay? Nothing's serious. Uh, I'm hungry! I'm sure, you are too. So, let's order now! Waiter!" I just shook my head because she's changing the topic now.
"I hope you will find your match now." Nica said and smirked.
"I hope you too." I said and glance at Gio. He immediately stopped at texting with someone and he pouted.
"Why I got involved here? I'm not doing anything." He said.
"Of course! You're the only one who are loves to play here. We are all serious in our life. And also Ken and Miles is busy with their work that's why they don't have time in lovelife or even in fling." Gwen said to his brother. She also rolled her eyes.
"We never know..." Gio said with smirk and while he's looking at Ken.
"We should order now." Hay... They are really really siblings. We just ordered food, eat, and have a chitchat while eating.
"Oh! Is that Jewel?" Gio said while he's pointing something in my back.
"You really have a good sight when it comes to a girls." Dy said.
"Who's that Jewel girl?" Gwen asked while she's looking at my back too. They are looking at my back that's why I take a look too even though I don't have interest in it.
"Jewel Adams. The half American Sis Miles' secretary slash assistant. She's married now that's why you don't have a chance on her *She looked at Gio and our other boy cousin* but no one knows who is her husband. In short, she's married with mysterious guy." Iyah answered. Jewel waved at me when she saw us. I just rolled my eyes and continued with my food.
"Then, who's that boy? Maybe that's her husband." Ken asked. They still looking at Jewel's table. I just shook my head.
"Nah... That's her brother. Nicholas Adams. Al's known as Nik. 26 years old. And he's famous model. And other people says that he's super handsome and very hot guy even though he's not that rich. Well, they are saying the truth, right?" Nica said. J just rolled my eyes and made face.
"Yeah, definitely but I don't like older boys that's why it's a Nah for him..." Iyah said and she also shaking her head.
"Bro..." She protested because Ken pinched her ear so hard.
"You're young, so, don't fancy him." Ken said in strict way. She just pouted. Boys just laughed at them and they also teased Iyah.
"But admit it, Sis Miles, he's very handsome, right?" Iyah said and looked at me. I take at look at that guy. I stare at him longer before I sighed and I looked away
"Not really." I said and I just continue eating my food.
"Huh?" -Iyah
"Not really?" -Nica
"Seriously, Mies?" -Gwen
I just raised my right eyebrow at them. They are confused at my answer.
"Well, that's her opinion." Dy said and shrugged.
"Sis Miles is right. Because I am more handsome than Nik Bro." Gio said and he also winked.
"You're really lack at humor." Gwen said and tapped his brother's shoulder.
"Just keep on dreaming, Big Bro..." Iyah said and rolled her eyes.
"Ahehehe... That's really funny." Dion and he laughed fakely.
"Nice joke." Nica said. She also giggled shorter and fake.
"Okay, let's proceed to next joke." Dy said.
Ken and I just laughed at them.
"What's wrong with you, guyz? Are you really my cousin?" Gio asked.
"Yeah, we are your cousin but we are honest too." Dion said that's why we laughed.
"Why don't you just support me?" Gio said and sighed.
"Then, support!" We said together and laughed again.
We continue teasing each other until we finished our food and we all decided to go home. But before we went outside, I saw Jewel's brother stare at me.
What's wrong with him? Why he staring at me?
ENJOY!
