Chapter 2

Elizabeth couldn't get rid of her annoyance even after she got out of the restaurant. He even met Mr. Gallagher and the man immediately retreated and moved away from her, the fear on his face was obvious when she bumped into him.

If only on another occasion she would have enjoyed seeing his scared face, but now, the annoyance she feels is even more intense.

In her entire life, this is the first time she has only experienced being embarrassed like that and in front of a man too. To a man she didn't know but she too proud to compliment it in her mind.

She wants to scream! She wants to take back what sher said to him that that bastard is handsome and she thinks he's kissing kiss her! No! That man is her enemy!

She's the villain but that man takes her spot just like that!

Elizabeth wanted to retaliate, but she knew she had nothing to show more inside the restaurant if she want to got back there, because she knew the people inside had already seen what she did to Mr. Gallagher earlier. And the other one is what that man did to her. The humiliation of herself that she didn't even notice!

She can't allow it to just happen like that, she needs to figure out a way to recover from this. It won't all end with her being embarrassed and a loser, why call her the villain of everything if she can only lose to one man?

No and never.

She didn't even looked at Mr. Gallagher and marched to the parked car, he just stop next to their car, because she saw the car of those two men was actually parked next to them. Her eyes suddenly rolled in annoyance.

She was very annoyed but there was nothing she could do. So she jumped into the backseat of the car, even though she didn't want to look at the man who embarrassed her, but her didn't heard her and it automatically moved to the left and her eyes landed on the man next to the glass window. He was sipping on his glass of wine like a fucking retard.

Did that man think that everything would be over because of what happened between them? And that Herrick was actually sitting in her seat?! Maybe the two of them were laughing at her now, so Elizabeth's annoyance and anger doubled.

She wants to beat both of them with her bare hands!

"Shit! Why is Peter taking so long!" She shouted inside the car and slammed her fist hard on the empty seat next to her.

Elizabeth's chest heaved with anger and annoyance as she stared at that man.

She calmed down a bit when she saw Mr. Peter ran to the car and got into the driver's seat. She couldn't stop yelling at him, as much as possible he didn't want to take his anger and annoyance out on others, but she couldn't do that now.

"Why are you so late?! I've been waiting here for a while!" Her eyebrows almost meet, her forehead is wrinkled and her eyes seem to be burning with anger.

"I-I'm sorry, Miss. I need paid for the food you ordered at the restaurant."

"Just because of that took you so long? My god!"

"N-no, Miss. I also apologized for what happened earlier. And I hope they can tell the others who saw it or maybe some of the uh... customers who took your photo earlier. Miss, I don want to embarrass you just because of false information from other people—"

"Don't fucking mind them!" She hissed at the backseat. "I can do it on my own. I can delete all of that fucking picture that they took just because they want a fucking attention." she smirked after that. "And I am fuckin' sure that picture or whatever it was was already circulating on the internet and started a fire for them just to have something to talk about."

Mr. Peter couldn't answer anymore. She just felt the car start to leave the port. Where she first tasted the first defeat to a man sh didn't even know.

She sighed. "And don't ever let yourself down just because of me again, Mr. Peter. How long will I tell you not to do that? Do you want me to replace you as my assistant?" She threatened the man who was driving.

He shook his head in response and looked at her for a moment in the rearview mirror. "But I don't want to hear any misunderstandings about you, Miss."

"Don't mind them. If you don't pay attention to the barking dog, it will stop, get embarrassed and eventually leave you because it can't get anything from you."

The assistant who was listening to her just nodded. After a while, she heard the ringing of the cellphone inside the pouch she was carrying, and when she saw who was calling her, her eyes rolled in annoyance.

She clicked the answer button. After she placed the phone on her ear, her father's raging voice was what she heard.

"What kind of dumb ways did you do at the fuckin' restaurant, Elizabeth? Don't you have any shame left in your body? You're ruining my name!" It was a loud angry voice of her father that made her sigh.

It was low and she also put away the cellphone she was holding before doing that. When will she end up doing that if all she has to talk to are worthless people? Sometimes they need is money, others are greedy who ask nothing but her lives, and others... like Mr. Gallagher, they're all worthless.

Sure her father saw that picture. Those fucking ants.

"It's all done father. Mr. Gallagher deserves it."

"Deserve you say? He is one of my assets and you just say he deserves it?! Are you out of your mind, Elizabeth? You just need to do what I told you to do but what did you do? You of all people ? Embarrassed me!" He could almost hear his voice booming from his cellphone inside the office.

Elizabeth was speechless because of what she heard. She doesn't remember another day that she doesn't hear a shout from his father. The things she does that are wrong for him, the decisions she makes that his father thinks are wrong. Everything is just wrong for him.

Elizabeth bit her lower lip, the earlier annoyance was replaced by pain and embarrassment. She loves her father so much. But those words that come from her father are... she can't contain sometimes. The hurt, the pain and the embarrassment she was feeling when she accepted all of that.

"You're a Buenaventura and you're doing this shits behind my back, Elizabeth? You're the heir to all the businesses that this family has, you just need to follow my orders but you can't do it properly?!" Elizabeth swallowed the pain while listening to her own father's anger on the cellphone in her hand.

She understands him. She needs to.

"Fix this, Elizabeth. When it reaches my friends and enemies, you won't like what I'm going to do to you."

Then after that, her father ended the phone call. She held the cellphone tightly, her hands shaking, each breath she took was deep. She looked up for a moment to stop herself from crying. She didn't want to show others that she was weak, she didn't want to show her father that just because of his words she would fail as a daughter.

Sher cannot disappoint her father.

After a while she called her secretary, she told her to find the person who circulated her photo and take it down, in exchange for any amount of money. If he doesn't agree, she is ready to stain her own hands again to end everything.

When she hung up, Elizabeth immediately asked Mr. Peter who is the no-nonsense man with Mr. Gallagher earlier. The man didn't answer right away, so she would have hurled scorching words at him again when their eyes met in the rearview mirror, the surprise in his eyes was obvious.

"What? Do you literally want me to wait just for your answer?"

"M-miss, don't you really know him?" Elizabeth's left eyebrow suddenly rose. She didn't want to be annoyed because of the man's obvious question to him, but it looks like she will be annoyed now because of her assistant and driver, Mr. Peter.

"Is it obvious that I don't know him? Am I going to ask you if I know that animal? What, are you stupid too Mr. Peter?" Her voice was full of sarcastic tone.

Her annoyance with the other person is now returning. She didn't want the annoyance to continue, so as much as possible, she needed immediate answers to her questions.

"I-I'm sorry, Miss. It's surprising because you seem to be the only ones who don't know him."

And her curiosity kicked in again.

"Why? Who is he? Is he a millionaire?"

"Maybe?"

"What? I need a proper answer, Peter. What do you want me to do? Calculate the wealth of a man I don't even know?! What the hell is that!" Elizabeth just ran her hand through her hair because of the irritation she felt.

Her driver was silent for a moment before he spoke again, and answered her question.

"His name is, Victor Samaniego."

"Samaniego?" She whispered in the air after hearing the answer from the Mr. Peter.

"Yes, Miss. He was an only son of the former CEO Uriel Samaniego and his wife Wendy Samaniego. After his parents migrated to the US, he managed their business and now he is gradually gaining a name in the business world . That's why... Mr. Gallagher is pleased to have a meeting with him today."

"Wait? Don't tell me this is the blind item rich man with blue eyes?" Elizabeth suddenly asked. It was obvious in her tone that she was curious to know the truth from Mr. Peter.

"Ah, that's it. I'm just not sure about that, Miss. I don't watch blind items on social media." He answered while laughing.

Elizabeth's eyes rolled, because she didn't get the answer she wanted. So even though she wanted to ask, the man's name came to her mind.

Victor Samaniego.

And lastly, she already knows that bastards name. But, then what will happen next? Does she need to make his head hurt because of her? Because she's making a mess in his life starting from today?

"Miss, I don't like that smile on your face. Are you thinking evilly again?" She suddenly lost his concentration because of Mr. Peter question.

"Yes. That's it. Then what you're going to do? You're going to stop me?"

"No. Of course not. My job will go downhill if I try to stop you, Miss."

"Hmm. That's good. You know where you're place."

"But I'm just worried, Mr. Buenaventura might get angry again because of what you want to do." He said.

The person talking has a point, but it's a bit pointless because no one will know if he doesn't tell her father.

Elizabeth leaned back and looked at the window beside her. There's a blue sky, like his blue eyes... no! Erase that fucking bastard!

She sighed. "But you know me. I don't want to lose to someone like Victor Samaniego. I'm not the type of woman to just give up because I was defeated by a handsome monkey like him. I have to make up for it, I have to find his weakness."

"You look like a villain, Miss."

"Hello? Because that's me! I am the villain here! And can you please drive the car faster? I want to take a shower. And before 10pm gave me a report about Victor Samaniego's background and everything about him, even his exes, sex life, crushes and everything. I need to know... him from his head until his very deep core." She said in a low voice.

Mr. Peter doesn't have a choice, now he needs the help of her secretary to finish his report. He already knows what'll going to do if he can't do it until 10pm, no work and no money.

"Yes, Miss."

Hours have passed, she already took a shower and just waiting on the living room of her big condominium unit the report she gave to Mr. Peter earlier. She was checking her phone when her secretary knocked on her door.

When she opened it, she was wearing pink pajamas, flip flops and holding a ten page report. They are in the same condominium building because she needs her help sometimes.

"Oh? Hi, Janet. So this is the report?" Her secretary nodded after she handed it to her.

Sure Mr. Peter asked her secretary to help him about this report, again.

"Thank you, Janet."

"Welcome, Ms. Elizabeth." After that she closed the door, she immediately unfolded those papers, she eyes searched for something until it landed on the man's love life.

She wondered, because of his good looks, why did he only have two ex-girlfriends? Maybe he doesn't know how to chase women?

Does he want to be the one being chased?

Elizabeth even read what was written there, as if she had read a research paper because the words were well detailed. Until Elizabeth thought of the man's lips and his beautiful eyes, his well-built body and his good looks.

Elizabeth couldn't help but smile because she already had an idea of ​​what she was going to do next. Then she holds Victor's photo on her hand, and points her index finger to it and says...

"You're going be my next target, Samaniego. You need to prepare, I'm coming to make mess with you."
