Chapter 11 The Tiger’s temper

While everyone was busy doing their own job, Danielle got an intercom call from the CEO.

“ Get inside quickly, Danielle!”

Hannah  instructed.  She seemed worried about why their boss called for Danielle.

As soon as Danielle went up and walked inside the CEO  office, Anthony had a fierce look on his face.

“ Bring all these files to the Marketing Department. Tell them to make a proper action for their sales.”

Gnashing his teeth as if he wanted to attack someone and kill it for himself.

“ Yes, Sir!”

Immediately, Danielle obeyed as she took the piles of papers in front of Anthony. She bit her lips because she had a difficulty carrying a bunch of papers in her hands.

Anthony didn't bother helping her. But the bodyguards next to him felt like they wanted to help Danielle. They stared at Danielle with sympathy. They glanced back and forth between Danielle and Anthony. They just can't make up their minds.

Seeing her opening the door with her other hand, the bunch of paper fell off. It slipped from her hands. Danielle rushed to pick up the scattered pieces of paper.

“ You! Idiot! What have you done? Is that how effective and efficient means to you?”

Glaring at her, Anthony was burst with anger upon seeing the files scattered around the floor.

“ Can't you do your job better? I think I misjudged you when I hired you! You're  nothing but a headache. “

Danielle tolerated all forms of words of bullying but cursing her like this, made her furious. She suppressed her anger but she had already made a  decision. She continued picking up the papers until she had managed to arranged it back. She never said a word but she never glanced at the furious CEO.

Walking out of the office, Danielle carefully stride her way to the elevator.

Hannah saw the huge pile of papers that Danielle  was carrying. She felt worried even more.

“ Come on! Let me help you with those!” Hannah quickly ran to hell her out.

Unfortunately, the boss came out also from his office and saw that Hannah was trying to help Danielle with her loads.

“ Hannah! Go to your work! She can do that by herself!”

Anthony's voice was loud and clear. All the employees there turned their heads down as if they have seen danger coming for them if they tried to intervene.

The helpless Danielle gave Hannah a smile and nodded her head once.

“ Go back to your work, Hannah.  I can do this by myself. “

Hannah had no choice but to resist Danielle from helping her. Anthony was tremendously furious right now and making a good conversation with him is not a good option right now.

Danielle pushed the downward button on the elevator. She went inside silently with a sad look on her eyes when it opened. Again, Anthony along with his bodyguards went inside too. They were all inside the elevator.

The bodyguard near the elevator’s button control pushed the number 8 which is  where the marketing department is located. Danielle was perspiring due to the heavy loads she was carrying. The two bodyguards glanced at her once more with pity on her.

As soon as the door of the elevator opened, Anthony along with his bodyguards came out first. The second bodyguard stayed behind and secretly

helped her by maintaining the elevator door opened for her so that she would have no difficulty in going out from there.

The bodyguard smiled and winked at Danielle. He placed his middle finger on his mouth, giving her a sign not to talk. Then he rushed back to his position. Danielle nodded and smiled for his help.

Danielle walked towards the hallway and again she got bumped into someone.

“ Hey! Watch where you're going!” A lady staff scolded her.

“ I'm so sorry, Ma'am. Where is the office of the marketing director?” Danielle asked bravely.

“ Go find it yourself. You're not the only one who has work to do.” The lady staff commented and gave an irritating look at Danielle.

Suddenly, Tiffany saw her while Anthony along with  his bodyguards disappeared from her sight.

“ Danielle, is that you?”

Danielle smiled and looked at the side because the piles of papers where blocking her face to see people whom she may bumped in. When she saw the person calling her name, she felt glad.

“ Tiffany, it's great to see you again. Hey! Do you know where the marketing director is?”

“ Yes! Are you going there with those bunch of files with you?”

“ Yes!”

“Come on! Give me some of those files so that you'll be able to see your way in.”

“ Thank you but no thanks. You might get in trouble if you help me carry these loads. Showing me the way is already a big help for me.”

“ If you say so... Then, I'll accompany you to the marketing director’s office.

“ Thank you so much, Tiffany. “

“ Oh! That's nothing! We're friends and it's my pleasure to help a friend in need.”

Tiffany guided her to the Marketing director's office. Tiffany knocked on the door for her.

“ Who is it?” The marketing director which is none other than Gerald was overheard from behind the door.

“ Sir, it's me. Tiffany. Miss Artates is here to see you, Sir.” Tiffany replied.

Upon knowing that Danielle was outside, Gerald fixed his gesture. He wanted to have a good impression for her. He straightened his suit and walked to open the door. He smiled when he opened the door.

But to his dismay, he saw a bunch of files in front  of him and it was blocking his way to see Danielle's  face. He furrowed his eyebrows and scratched her head.

“ What the hell!” He exclaimed.

“ Can you let her in first? Where's your etiquette, Sir?”

Tiffany reclaimed. She felt worried that Danielle might not hold on much longer.

“ Oh, sorry! Please come in.”

Gerald open wide the door for Danielle.

“ Thank you!” Danielle said as she entered the room. Tiffany was still there by her side assisting her.

Then, both Tiffany and Gerald helped her place the files on Gerald's desk.

“ These files are for you. The CEO said that you should make a better result on your market sales.”

“ Oh dear! Now, I get it why you don't want me to help you carry those a while ago. That Tiger!!!” Tiffany snarled and frowned.

“ Shhh... keep your voice down, Tiffany. Someone might hear you!”

Danielle warned her friend.

However, Gerald made a serious look at Danielle. “ If you think, you can't handle the stress that the Tiger is giving you, I suggest you quit your job now, Danielle.”

“ I'm  not giving up!” Danielle firmly answered.

The following day and other days passed by, Danielle was always being hampered with curses and humiliations coming from the CEO himself. But she tried hard to control her feelings.

Patiently, she continued doing her work in the company. Whenever she hear the sound of Anthony's voice, she would tighten her gut feeling and forced herself to be stronger.  No one can make her give up with challenges.

But Anthony's rage was suddenly out of control. He threw whatever his hand reached. Danielle got scared but she still didn't gave up her work. His bodyguards just watched him from a distance. They never acted as if they were statues standing at both sides of their boss.

Danielle got hit by one of the vases that Anthony had thrown. The shards of the vase had caused her arms to bleed but Danielle just ignored the pain she felt.
