Chereads / partner for life / Chapter 2 - chapter 3

Chapter 2 - chapter 3

Hell !! I will never find peace in this world for sure.really I'm really supposed to be a partner of this cocky. Oh Lord, help your servant. she prayed in her heart. She was busy crying for her misfortune when Quen turned to her.

"Nice meeting you again, miss Collin."

"You guys have met before?" James asked bewilded.

"Oh yeah....."Quen started, but Angela cut in before he could finish.

"I see you have grown to be tall .I didn't seem to see it back then. " She said, Giving him this, you don't have to answer back look,followed by fake smile.

Quen gave her a you were always dwarf to me ,shorty. Look.

" I think we should start," he said, ignoring the frustration on her face .

"Yeah, let's get started,"Carly concluded, and they gathered together to sign the contract.

"So ,Angela, what do you think about the atmosphere here?"Carly asked after they relaxed on the sofa in Quen's office.

"It's great uncle ,you must have worked hard to get here"she said looking straight at Carly to avoid meeting Quen's gaze which is sharp as blade.how could a man have a sharp gaze like this.

"Yeah. Now, the future of L_Group and AJM hotels and resort is in yours and Quen's hands. "she nodded and turned to read Quen's face reaction, but too bad she couldn't read him. Calm and serious. Maybe he is one kind of zombie. She concluded.

"I think we better leave them to figure out how to work together," Carly nodded at James's suggestion.

"Angela, call the driver to pick you up when you are done," he added.

"No need,Quen will take her home," Carly said .James nodded, and they left the room.

After they left,Quen went to his seat and busied himself in the computer as if Angela was invisible.

This guy is fucking arrogant but if he think he can act cocky with me he is completely wrong. She thought with disgust written all over her face.

"Well.."she said as she rose from the sofa."Mr Quen ,since you are my partner ,you may know where my office is". Quen ignored her. She bit her lower lip to avoid screaming at him.she went toward him , bent forward and knocked on the table.

"Mr, can't you hear me? or you got some sticks inside your ear?"she snapped on gritted teeth.

Quen raised his head to face her.

her face red like tomato,her brown widened eyes twinkling with anger and frustration. He half smiled.

"They are going to make a cabin for you here "

"What?did I get you right ?me sharing office with you?"

"Yeah ,it's the rule. inorder to monitor you"

"What if I don't agree"she challenged,her arms crossed over her chest.

"You got no choice" he said again his eyes fixed on her.

"I know I shouldn't be thinking this but this girl is hot. dammit hottest when she gets angry. the way her gorgeous eyes widen and her pinky kissable lips tighten together makes me want her for myself ,only mine.but I have my pride to protect besides she is hot headed and difficult to live with"

"So ,miss Collin ..".

"Call me Angela for heaven's sake" she snapped.

"That's not for you to decide"he answered in his usual calm serious tone as if she hasn't snapped at him right now. and it irritated her even more.

This big moron is really pissing me off but I must be patient at least for dad.

"Okay fine ,I got some rules too and you have no choice but to follow them"

"What rules ?"he asked without looking at her.

"Firstly I am my own boss. no one is allowed to boss me around especially you."she said walking here and there around the office.Secondary, don't try to act smart arrogant with me cause I won't buy it."

She turned to see if he is listening and was surprised to find out, that he was behind her. his blue eyes fixed on her. He took a step forward which made Angela to step backward too. They continued doing so untill there was only wall behind her. No other escape.they were close that they could feel each other's breath. She mustered a courage to look up into his face.his eyes were fixed on her as if she was a piece of art. She stared at his perfect face as if it was the first time seeing him.

"Hell! What's the use a boy having a face like this "she thought. Is he some Greek god ?but those are fictions. brown hair covering his well shaped head and falling on his forehead. his eyes, God knows that escaping from them is possible when captured. Oh man! his lips !is there any sweeter kiss than from his. hell why am I even thinking about this". She shaked her head to erase the thought.

Quen stared at her as if reading her mind and smiled mischeviously.

"Why don't you say it?".she was snapped by his husky voice.

"What?"

He smirked at her reaction.

"Umm,you can say it if you find me attractive" he said with an arrogant smile plastered on his lips.

Angela was again irritated by his arrogance."attractive my foot" she mumbled looking down.

"Did you say something?"he asked pressing one hand on the wall.

She mustered a fake smile and looked up at him and crossed her arms over her chest.

"So what?,even Lucifer is praised to have his own beauty"she said sarcastically.

They stared at each other for a brief moment, Angela's face read impatience and disgust,as for Quen, it was impossible to read his expression.

"So, miss Collin do you have any other rule left" he broke the silence.

"Of course yes"she said pushing him,unable to withstand his closeness anymore.

"You ...you..are not allowed to get close to me that's rule N°3" she said running her fingers in her short hair.

"Is that even possible?"he said more to himself.

"It's a rule " she answered.

He scrrabed his forehead and approached her.

"One meter please"she reminded.

He sighed and satsified her wish.

"Okay, happy collaboration then" he said offering a hand to shake.

She only stared at him surprised by how he gave up easily.he seems to be one of the kind to protest till the end.

Realizing that she was stunned, Quen raised her hand and shake it forcefully and went back to his desk and dialed same number.

"Come inside please ".Angela wondered who he asked in that politely and was again surprised to find that it was the same woman who welcomed them.

"What can I do for you sir?"she asked.

"Show miss Collin around the company and when you finish call Jimmy to send her home."

"Yes sir. this way ma'am "

Angela poised to follow her but was stopped by Quen's voice.

" It was nice meeting you Angela Collin ,the suit fit you well"he added a wink without knowing.

Angela frowned and returned a thanks but no thanks look and then went out of the room.

"Gosh !! He is a big way playboy I guess" she exclaimed in a disgust.Realizing she spoke her thoughts out she smiled in embrassment .

"Sorry, what's your name ?" She asked in friendly tone as they walked through the corridor.

" Betty "she answered politely.

"Betty ,I like your earrings,"

"Thanks ma'am "

"No need to be polite, just call me Angela."

Betty showed her around the company. every department and introduced her to their leaders. She also explained in detail how their company operated.

"Ma'am ,may be I can call you driver now? she said as they walked out of the company.

Angela gave her a sharp glare.

"I mean Angela," she corrected.

Angela smiled." That's it.we can even be friends,anyways ,You don't need to call a driver. My friend will pick me up. "

"Okay, I will get going then." Angela nodded, and Betty left her after waving back.
