" Thanks Mr. Hamilton. I almost forgot the prize . This challenge will decided the hierarchy system of the company. It survivor of the fittest , the more competent will rule ". Lara spoke in command but all eyes were in Aaron.
Different eyes, different colors but same emotions ' Should we just kill him ' .
That fearless brat was pain to everyone is higher position that's except for Lara of course but they wouldn't dare to question when the weakest agreed with it.
" We are up for a challenge "
Team leader A , who acts like the boss when the boss isn't around commented and all of her minions agreed with her . Her name is Rosemarie Rao. The distant cousin of Jesse Rao, one of the three secretary of chairwoman's office.
And with that the meeting was close and they went back to their offices leaving only Hilary Hastings. The last secretary of Lara's office.
After collecting her documents she switched off the microphone and headed out , while everything was going on Lara was in her office, she doesn't personally attend meetings, and just like today she observed people from her office and capture every little details that can't be seen in her presence.
She grabbed her phone and pressed number two and it automatically called the person she saved " Asshole Brat ", the phone rang for like three seconds before asshole brat picked up,
" This is Empire Group CEO' speaking "
" Get up here right now! "
Lara spoke and hanged up before the other side could say another word, It is weid relationship between employee and employer but they do work perfectly together,
Henry Montana , the most eligible bachelor CEO. Some even suspected that he was the real owner of Empire Group but he didn't want fame that's why he was acting like a CEO , there are so many other rumors about him and women but of course none of them were proven to be true.
Knock! Knock!
He knocked few times and let himself in when there was no reply. He knew that Lara was inside but she didn't feet like answer him. " Chair...? " he called just to be cutted off but her death glare,
He was a little startled, they are always arguing but they never on the each other's bad sides , " Did I do something, maybe, I mean not that I think I did something wrong it's just..."
"Even your way of speaking are the same " Lara cut him off.
The air was tense in the office as Lara expression darkened, she stood up and walked slowly towards him, the tension in Henry's heart risen, he knew how crazy Lara is when she's mad but not even once he experienced it himself.
" The Aaron dude, you are fucking him , right? " without filter or even blinking twice she spoke with a very poker face she ever shown him.
Henry was a little shocked, asking himself what makes her think that way , it was not like he ever hold hands with him in the office or anything. In fear of the monster Infront of him he shook his head " I'm not fucking him "
" Oooh! So he is the one fucking you , I couldn't have predict that. The asshole got some horse-sized balls . But I didn't call you here to question your sexual preferences ".
" Then?"
" What the Fuvk with this kind of promotions, there is no way in the world one can be a team leader in less than a year, Henry, are you playing with with my company? "
Henry who was trembling a minute ago relaxed a bit and exhale " So, it about that? I know it's hard to believe but my hands are clean. We don't interfere with one another in the office "
Lara looked at him in disbelief, there was no way she wouldn't favor her lover if she was in a position when she can but this asshole...
" You are expecting me to believe that? "
" No! But you can see it for yourself. You can get to know your workers as well " Henry commented but Lara wasn't very pleased by his last sentence " I know them "
Henry smiled " I'll assign you in his department "
" I'll think about "
Two days have passed and today is Friday . The day kyle will be discharge from the hospital. She hadn't seen Lara since the last time she came drunk and left without a word, but when she thoughts about what Megan did she still thankful Lara was there,
Maria helped her to pack her stuffs and Nancy was there to pick her up, " I'm glad you are okay ".
" I thought you guys forgot about me already"
Kyle complained as she gave her a joking slap on the shoulder but Nancy laughed it off and replied cheerful,
" We are behind the schedule everyone in the company is busy "
Kyle remembered in about two weeks it will be December, the month of the angels as many call it. There will be a lot to do especially for those whose who works at the entertainment industry. She nodded at Nancy at agreed with her.
" But how is Miss Cameron? "
She was dying to know about Lara, ever since she left that morning she couldn't stop thinking about her, the way her skin crawled under hers and heat up her cold body and the way she will tremble when their lips touched accidentally as they roll on bed,
With every move and every action playing vividly on her mind all she could think of was Lara and Lara alone. She admits that she use to love her before and she was the only person she ever loved in her entire life but this kind of lustfulness was never there in the past,
These feelings gave her uneasiness and unfamiliarity yet she didn't hate it.
" She is breathing if that's what you wanted to know "
Nancy wouldn't tell her about Lara's business, she didn't want to pry on anything either but that answer made Kyle restlessly and hurt, she couldn't think of anything anymore, anything but Lara,
" We should get going "
They both head out , Nancy leading the way and Kyle was following behind her. As they walked past the reception to the packing lot kyle turn on her phone which was off for three days and a lot of notifications started to pop up.
" What the hell happened in these two days ? "
She wondered as she logged in her Tik-wok account, She wasn't a very big fan of social media but once she knew how fun it get she will lost herself on her phone scrolling one video after another until she fell asleep,
Her finger moved upwards and started to scroll as she always do when she was bored these days and found a lot of dancing videos unlike the other days, she looked down on screen and the song they were playing was called " Unholy Mary ". It wasn't just one or two video the internet was in uproar.
It wasn't something new but there were a lot of dancing videos than normal , for the past two years the viral videos were food vids or makeup tutorials so it was uncommon to see a dancing video with over a million view.
" There is a new song that busted the internet 24hrs after it release, It doesn't even have an official MV yet but it became the most trending song not only on tik-wok but Newtube and wechill as well "
Nancy explained to Kyle as she opened the back door for her, After both of them fastened their seat belts Nancy started to drive her back to the penthouse. " Can you lend me your earphones please, I want to listen to it " She asked calmly but Nancy just shook her head " I don't have one "
The rest of the journey was icy silent, they didn't have anything to talk about and none of them tried to do anything about it. As they pass through city cetre on their way home Kyle's thoughts were on Ayra who didn't came back when she promised her to.
She wasn't really expecting anything but she just thoughts that Eva would be so happy to meet her idol in person, her mind was still far away until the sound of her phone startled her,
Her eyes landed on an old phone that nobody use these days and saw " Unknown ID " on the screen. She thought for a while before picking it, wondering who that could it be?.
