Chapter Two

Wh..What?? Celine stuttered in shock.

"I don't repeat myself", Charles said coldly.

"But we were good just now, why..."

"Because I only wanted to f**k you, why don't you get the message? Are you that daft? Besides, you were the one who threw yourself to me not the other way around he shrugged.

"You bastard!" She raised her hand and tried to hit him. He stood there, not moving an inch but there was a powerful glare on his face.

"Try and then meet the devil in hell," he said.

Celine gulped down nothing hard as she let her hand down.

"You're an idiot, I hate you!" She screamed and left the office in anger.

She ran to the office back when she realized she wasn't putting on any clothes. She glanced at Charles whose lips twitched up in a smile.

She puts on her clothes in a rush before facing him.

"F**k you!" She spat and then left.

Charles laughed dryly before dusting his clothes.

"Wonder where he got her from" he mumbled to himself.

He picked up his phone and dialled a number.

"Put out a vacancy board outside, we need to hire another secretary," he said and ended the call.

He glanced at his table, and seeing loads of files on it, he exhaled loudly.

"When I'm done with this, I'm gonna leave this place" he muttered.

MELODY'S RESTAURANT~2PM**

Hailey served the last customer on the table and walked to the counter. Today was a hectic day for her as the restaurant was filled up today.

"Are you leaving now?" She heard Madam Melody's voice behind her.

"Yes," she answered as she turned to face her.

Madam Melody walked to the counter and opened a drawer, she brought out some cash and counted it before handing it to Hailey.

Hailey frowned after she finished counting the money it was not complete.

"What's this?" She asked. She could feel anger boiling inside her already. She doesn't joke with her money at all.

"What do you mean, what's that? That's your pay of course" Madam Melody said, looking elsewhere.

"That must be a joke and it's not funny. This money is not mine, give me the remaining balance" Hailey said, she's trying so hard to maintain her cool.

"Balance?" Madam Melody chuckled.

"You came late today so I deduced it out of your money. You should be lucky, you still receive a tangible amount"

Hailey scoffed in disbelief.

"I came late today and I made up for it. I was supposed to leave here by 1 pm, but this is past two! I worked extra time to pay for my lateness and this is what you could do?"

"Don't you dare try to raise your voice at me or else I won't hesitate to fire you" Madam Melody threatened. She knows how important the job is to Hailey so she's using it to her advantage.

Hailey bit her lips.

"Fire me? Fine, do whatever you want but before then...." She opened a drawer and took all the cash that was in it.

"I wouldn't allow you to cheat me" she glared at her. She went to the dressing room to change her clothes, and afterwards, she carried her bag and returned.

"Okay fine... I'll pay you your full balance," Madam Melody said when Hailey returned.

She counted some cash and handed it to her.

"Can I have my money back?" She asked.

Hailey rolled her eyes. Nevertheless, she handed the money to her.

"It was nice working with you, I hope you find someone as hardworking as me" she muttered.

"Hail..." Madam Melody was about to call her but she was already out of sight.

"That girl" she fumed silently.

***

Hailey walked around the street with a gloomy look on her face.

"F**k! I shouldn't have left" she mumbled.

"No, I did the right thing. How could she think of cheating me? Arghhhh! How do I start again? I can't just be jobless" she screams out in frustration.

A lady walked past her, she shook her head when she saw Hailey talking alone. She thought she was crazy.

"Hey, I'm not crazy, okay? I'm perfectly fine" Hailey shouted after her.

She blew air out of her mouth frustratingly.

"Let's just manage the one we have for now... I believe everything will be fine someday" she said to herself.

She checked the time on her wristwatch and inhaled deeply.

"Still have a little more time before reaching Mrs Ella's place" she muttered.

She maintained her composure, preparing herself for the other work ahead of her.

MONTERIO INVESTMENT~6PM***

Charles was still working non-stop when Jace entered the office. Jace shook his head when he saw his best friend working without even looking tired.

"Aren't you tired?" He asked as he walked fully to the office.

"Why would I? It's my job anyways" Charles replied without casting him a glance.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Jace asked, plopping himself on a chair.

"No... Why?"

"Let's go to the bar after you're done. It's been so long since we drank together and who knows, we might get lucky to f**k some hot bítches" Jace said.

Charles smiled, finally taking his gaze from the computer.

"Should we?" He asked.

"Sure... I know you love the sound of that" Jace said.

"You know me well," Charles said.

He continued his work while Jace pressed his phone where he was.

"Aren't you ever gonna finish?" Jace groaned after a very long time.

"Well... I'm done" Charles said as he rounded his work. He glanced at Jace.

"Don't you ever work?" He asked.

"I'm not a workaholic like you" Jace drawled.

Charles chuckled, he stood up from the chair and picked up his phone.

"Are you ready?" Jace asked.

Charles nodded and they both went out of the office. As usual, the employees greeted him when they sighted their eyes on him, even though they are very much aware he is a Casanova, they never stopped respecting him. He's known to be strict as f**k!

Charles and Jace got outside and the guards opened the car door for them.

Charles faced Jace just when he was about to enter the car.

"Did you bring your car along?" He asked.

"Yes, but I can ask my driver to return it home. Let's go with yours" Jace muttered.

Charles entered the back seat and Jace did at the other side too.

"Where to, sir?" The chauffeur asked, staring at them through the rearview mirror.

"All Souls Bar" Jace said.

Charles stared at him.

"Why that place?" He asked.

"Because there are likely to be hot bítches there, I'm tired of f**king the same girls" Jace muttered.

"Okay"

The driver drove out of the company immediately.

ALL SOULS BAR***

Hailey sat down on a chair tiredly, her body feels numb at that moment.

She watched as everyone drank and danced happily and she bit her lips. She wonders when her life would be happy like theirs.

"Focus, stop thinking this way. You're much better than them, remember?" She slapped her cheeks, trying to cheer herself up.

"What are you doing? Let's get to work" Abby, her colleague said.

"Yes, I will. You don't have to remind me" Hailey rolled her eyes inwardly as she got to her feet.

She picked the menu and went over to some tables, she should just accept her fate the way it is.

Charles and Jace entered the bar and walked to the counter immediately. They both sat on a chair and got their order from Abby.

"You okay?" Jace asked, noticing Charles' expression.

"The old man came today," Charles said.

Jace chuckled.

"He brought another lady for you?"

"Yea"

"What did you do?" Jace asked, laughing silently. He knew what his friend could do.

"I f**ked her and then sent her away," Charles said.

Jace couldn't hold it in anymore as he burst into laughter.

"I knew it, you're a badass mehn" he laughed.

"I know, right?" They clicked their cups together as they both continued sipping their drink.

Soon, two girls walked to them. From their appearance, you would have known the kind of person they are.

The first girl sat beside Charles while the other girl sat beside Jace.

"Hi, Charles. Mind having a hot night with me?" She asked, biting her lips seductively.

Charles's eyes went to her b**bs which was the bigger size and smirked.

"You're not bad," he muttered.

He dropped the glass in his hand as he faced the bitch fully. Jace and the second girl were already kissing by now.

"Can you handle me? Cos by the time I'm done, you won't be able to use your legs tomorrow" he said naughtily.

The bitch giggled.

"Just what I wanted, I don't mind since it's you"

Charles was about to say something when Hailey walked to their table.

"Good evening sir, do you need anything else?" Hailey asked.

Hearing that angelic voice, Charles snapped his head towards her and his mouth went agape.

"So beautiful," his mind screamed.

"Sir?" Hailey called, getting annoyed with his stares already.

"How much for a night?" Charles blurted out.

"What?"

"1 million dollars?" He asked.

Hailey scoffed. Is something wrong with his brain?

"I don't mind paying more than that just to have you in my bed" Charles kept talking.

"Charles, what are you saying? I'm here for you" the bitch said, trying to remind him of her presence, but Charles completely ignored her. His main attention was on Hailey.

"Are you sick?" Hailey asked. She moved closer to him and touched his forehead.

"You're fine though, maybe you need to visit a psychiatric hospital" she muttered.

"What? How dare you?" The bitch half yells.

"Oh... Tsk tsk, you have no taste at all, going after a monkey" Hailey shook her head.

She glanced at Charles who had an angry look on his face already.

"Nincompoop" she muttered before walking away.

"That girl...." The bitch fumed. She faced Charles and touched his shoulder but he slapped her hands away.

"F**k off" he glared.

His eyes went back to Hailey who was already serving some customers and his lips twitched to a smile.

"I'll get you" he licked his lips slowly.

****

HOURS LATER, 10 PM***

"Here is your money," the manager said as he handed some cash to Hailey.

Hailey counted it and smiled satisfactorily, she kissed the money happily.

"Thank you sir" she bowed her head before leaving the bar. Abby and her other colleagues are gone already.

"Gosh, can I find a cab by this time?" Hailey muttered to herself as she walked along the street. Her house is still far from this place, she can't possibly trek home.

A car stopped just beside her, she faced the car in confusion but her expression changed immediately the glass winded down and she saw Charles.

"Who are you? A stalker?"

"You don't know me?" Charles asked in surprise.

"Of course, I know you're nothing but a pervert"

Charles got down from the car, he took a long stride towards her till he got to her front.

He tucked his hand into his pocket, although it was late, he couldn't deny that she was beautiful.

"Where are you going? Should I drop you off?" He asked.

"No thank you" Hailey gritted her teeth. She raised her fist towards him to scare him off.

"If you don't want a bite of this, then get lost," she said.

"Tch! Such a mood spoiler" she mumbled before walking away.

Charles stared at her ass as they moved sexily, he licked his lips. No matter what, he's surely gonna get her on his bed.

"5 million dollars" he yelled.

Hailey stopped in her tracks, she turned to face him. Did she hear him wrong? Five million what?

"I'll pay you five million dollars if you agree to spend the night with me" Charles shouted.

She smiled and walked to him.

"Just for tonight?" She asked.

Charles smiled. Girls will always be girls.

"Yea, and more if you perform well," he said.

Hailey smiled but that turned to an angry look, in a flash, she kicked his face and kneed him on his crotch.

"To hell with you and your money. F**k you, stalker!" She shouted.

When Charles's guards saw what happened, they rushed out of the car.

That was when Hailey noticed that Charles wasn't alone. She faced Charles who was already groaning on the ground.

"Get her!" One of them screamed.

"What? Shit!" She took to her heels immediately.

"F**k Hailey!" Her mind screamed as she kept running with the guards on her chase.
