Chapter 3

Morning came. I thought that the problem I was facing would be over immediately because I was able to find out who plan to spread the video that happened yesterday inside the restaurant.

How the man with the blue eyes, handsome face and elegant body put me to shame.

But even though I learned a lot about him, it wasn't enough to cover Mr. Buenaventura, my father's rage to me.

I almost jumped in shock because of the force of his palm hitting his desk while I was standing in front of him. I can clearly see his rage from his eyes. Telling me that I am so fucked up today.

"What do you think you're doing, Elizabeth? You're making a scandal? And you literally do it inside a restaurant with a lot of people?!" I closed my eyes with the force of his voice.

I want to roll my eyes because of what he's doing now. If I am scandalous, what is he? Is it okay for him to embarrass me, his daughter, in front of the people he is meeting with here in his office?

I fucking feel their stares at my back! These bastards just watching how my father screamed at my face right now!

My god! I'm so fucked up yesterday because of that damn asshole and today too? What a good yo say bad morning huh?

"Aren't you ashamed of what you're doing? You disgrace me, Elizabeth! You disgrace my name!" His voice echoed in the four corners of the room where we were.

For sure, some of those who saw him yelling at his only child today are thankful to whom because they are not the ones who will be affected by his anger!

Damn! It's just so early in the morning and this is my morning starts? Really?

"Get out."

When I didn't move from where I was standing, his sharp gaze penetrated my entire body. My body is already telling me that I should go out of here, geez! I don't even like here too you know?! And I don't even like surrounding myself through these kinds of people!

The shoes I was wearing made a noise when I left his office. If someone asks me why I don't call him dad, papa or anything that will remind me that he is my father.

Then don't ask me because I'll never answer your nonsense question.

When I left his office, I met Mr. Peter outside while he was holding my expensive bag. When he saw me and was about to approach me to ease my heart again because he saw how my own father yelled at me in front of other people.

Mr. Peter is used to seeing me like that and I got used to my father doing those to me. Every morning maybe he always sees me being scolded by Mr. Buenaventura in his office, whether he has a meeting or not, as long as he's mad at me, he'll let it out no matter what.

I rolled my eyes when I saw that he wanted to say something to me but I just got my bag away from him and walked away like nothing happened. I don't want another drama! My head is getting hurt!

I thought he wasn't going to follow me but I felt his presence so I sighed in defeat.

In this situation, sometimes, I let Mr. Peter won. Just sometimes okay?!

"Okay. So what do you want?" I asked and then pressed the down button on the elevator. "Don't tell me you're going to tell me your quotes for today as well?"

When the elevator opened in front of me, I entered it and he went along. I pressed the 20th floor and closed the door.

"N-no, Miss. But there's someone waiting at your office." he said making me frown and turned to him.

"Who? Am I expecting a visitor today?"

"Don't you remember?"

"Remember which one? You know, just tell me who's waiting for me in my office, so I'm not going to always asking you. I'm running out of patience Mr. Peter." I was annoyed to answer the person I was talking to.

For him to know that my patience is also running out.

He took a deep breath and then told me the name of the person waiting for me. But I hope, I hope! I wish I hadn't asked who it was!

Because it seems that all my patience has been scraped today.

I was full of anger when I opened the door to my office and saw the shameless Rodulfo Gallagher sitting in my newly bought pink sofa while Janet assisted him with a cup of coffee.

My annoyance reached its peak when he smiled because he saw me. What does this man need?! He and the man with the blue eyes had something to do with why I received so much anger from Mr. Buenaventura today! So what kind of evil plan he was going to tell me now huh?!

I will never get over what they did to me yesterday!

Janet and Mr. Peter left us quickly inside of my office. Because I know they know what I can do to this man once I completely lose the respect I have for people like them! And who said he could sit in my pink sofa just like that? After he chose someone over me yesterday?!

OK! Compose Elizabeth! This man in front of you is a big client that my father wants. But still... I can't just stand there and watch him do his thing to me!

I took a deep breath and before I walked to my throne and I tried to get rid of it in my mind to take the arnis from under my table and hit it on his head.

Don't let me lose myself.

When I sat down, my sharp eyes stared at him.

"What are you doing here? You want to embarrass me too like what that asshole did to me yesterday?" I didn't plan on being a good woman in front of this man.

I'm so fucked up today because of what happened between my father and I and I don't want another fucked up situation again.

I just saw that he was shocked because of that question. He cough and cover his mouth. Oh my? Why he is so shock? Is he expecting something from me? After what happened yesterday? Is he serious?

"Oh? You okay? Do you want me to call the doctor so they can just shoo away from my sight today?" I said in my usual serious face.

Who said he came here? I don't have meetings with anyone right now but this man is absolutely... ruining my day like my father.

"N-no... I'm... I'm okay." he answered weakly while wiping his clothes that had been spilled with coffee because of his clumsiness earlier.

I rolled my eyes because of what I am seeing right now. Aah... really?

I sighed in and stood up from my seat and took a roll of tissue from the drawer near me. He was wiping the stain with his handkerchief that the coffee did to his blue long sleeve.

I don't want his wife to worry because of what happened to him. I quietly placed what I was holding on the table in front of him and immediately returned to my seat and looked at him again.

"You know what? I'm not in the moon on talking to you right now, Mr. Gallagher." I said and looked at him.

He looked at me too and he sighed. "Well, I expected that you're going to say it even though I haven't started talking and explaining why I'm here." he smiled after he said it.

After all? He was going to smile at me like that? Wow.

But because of what he said, I wonder what his reason was for being here and especially what he wanted to tell me today. I'm not really in the mood to talk to Mr. Gallagher or anyone right now because I had a plan to take him down, and now he's here in front of me?

I stared at him, weighing what to say to him next. Should I let him go or should I keep him here so that my questions can be answered.

Out of curiosity, the answers I wanted to know from him were more weighty. And when he was about to stand up, I called him to sit again.

"Tell me... what's the reason why you're here, Mr. Gallagher."
