CHAPTER FOUR

AIDEN'S POV

Did she just say that she will not allow anyone to treat her like a whore including me? 

Did I hear her right?  

" What did you just say to me?".  I asked her. Not like I was expecting any answer from her; because keeping mute when asked some certain questions has become her speciality.

 To my greatest shock, she repeated herself again.

" You heard me right sir. I won't allow anyone disrespect me by treating me like a whore and that includes you sir". 

Dumbfounded, I just stared at her even though I was so angry at her right now. 

Knowing that what she just did will definitely cost me a partnership.  She sure does have a sharp tongue.

"Miss Anderson, do you realize what you just did right now?  Do you know that this reckless action could cost me a partnership I have long waited for?'.

                           

"With all due respect sir, somebody just molested me in your presence and you are worried about your partnership with him? What was I expecting from someone like you? You all are the same".she said to me. 

"If  you don't mind, sir, I would like to go back to the office now".

 I almost strangled her with my bare hands if I had not controlled my anger.

Angry and amazed at her personality at the same time, I left her and went back to Mr. Daniel whom I assume must have gone in anger. 

But there he was seated with some mixture of humor on his face.

"I apologize for whatever my assistant must have done but that wasn't an appropriate thing to do to a lady Mr Daniel".

I saw him stiffened for a moment before saying how remorseful he was. However, his next outburst made me question his prestige and my partnership with him.

"If you don't mind Mr Black, I would like you to connect me with your personal Assistant she will make a good mistress".

"What  the hell do you take me for? If this partnership is based on this condition, then it is best we forget about it. It's your loss anyways.". I picked up my bag and walked out only to find Mia, standing right there in front of the door.

 I couldn't believe I just lost a deal. 

" Let's go Miss Anderson," I said to her. Obediently, she followed me.

 I can't believe I just walked out from the world best partnership for my company all because of this infuriating woman.

I faced her as soon as we entered the car. 

"Well, are you happy now? Do you feel happy right now? Have you achieved your aim?. I don't get it, ever since you came into my life as a personal Assistant, it has been one trouble to the other. Are you here to make my life a living hell or what? ".

                  

" How I wish that was the case Mr Black . Am I even allowed to do that?".She said to 

me  sarcastically. As she started tearing up again. 

"What is the meaning of these tears right now? You just caused me a huge opportunity and you are crying like you are the victim here. I can't do this with you anymore"

"Stop the car. I yelled at my driver". He stopped the car unexpectedly and she bumped her head against the chair in front of her. 

"Get out!!!. Just get the hell out of my car. I can't deal with you right now. You are the most disrespectful worker I have ever had so far".

She got down from the car and I asked the driver to drive off leaving her behind. 

 I can't tolerate her attitude any longer. I mean, she is just my worker for goodness sake. 

"Sir, where are we heading to?"  I heard the driver ask.

"Take me to DANTON FASHION AND BEAUTY modeling company". I said to my driver. I needed someone other than Audrey to talk to about this right now.

I called my best friend, Jordan Hilton to let him know I was on my way to his company.   

As soon as I entered the building, I saw Jordan coming to meet me.We went into his office together. 

"What's up Buddy, I hope there is no problem? You sounded pissed on the phone".

" That's because I am.  I'm fucking fed up with my new personal Assistant.  She is so rude and gets on my nerves so much. I just lost the partnership deal with Mr. Daniel".

Shocked by what I just said. " You did what? But how and why?". Jordan asked while pouring us a drink. 

" It's my assistant. She slapped him". I replied, taking a sip of my drink. 

Jordan almost choked on his drink.

"No way! Why would she do such a thing?".

"The man is a pervert. He grabbed her by her butt. Apparently, she doesn't tolerate disrespect".

"WHAT??!!..." Jordan laughed then turned serious immediately he saw the look in my eye. "He went too far and he deserves what he got".

" For some reasons I don't know, she seems to hate me so much. Right from the very first day we met".

"What do you mean?".

"I really don't know. She acts like I have done something wrong to her. And it has nothing to do with my temper lately".

"If you can't stand her, why don't you just fire her? I mean, you shouldn't put up with such an attitude from a mere staff ".

"That's the point. I don't know why I'm putting up with her attitude. I find it very difficult to fire her".

"Are you by any chance attracted to her?".

"What? NO!!!. How can I even be attracted to someone that I can barely stand. She's not even my type".

"Well, there's a thin line between hate and love. Think about it buddy"

Am I?? 

" I'm going back to the office." I stood abruptly.

"Uhm….How about we go clubbing tonight so you can loosen up a bit ?" Jordan asked, wiggling his eyebrows. 

" Tonight?? " I groaned. It's not like I don't like clubbing but I don't like the crowd.

" Yes tonight. We could take Audrey along"

"Why?"

"You know she'll have our head if we don't take her along" 

Well, that's true.

" Alright. No problem"

" See you tonight "

I walked out of his office and went back to mine. On getting into my office, I sat down on my chair thinking about what Jordan said.

There's no way in hell I could like a woman like that. She's so vicious and has no manners. Just as I was deep in thought I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in" I replied to whoever was at the door. It turned out to be her.She came in with her bowed down. 

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Well in this case, he's a SHE.

"What do you want ?" I asked her impatiently. I heard some sniffling and looked at her closely. I realized she was crying.

AGAIN!!???

DOESN'T THIS WOMAN EVER GET TIRED OF CRYING!!???

I felt pitiful towards her which I don't know why but I masked my emotions and asked her in a stronger voice 

" What do you want and why the hell are you shedding crocodile tears in my office?"

" It's all because of YOU '' She pointed an accusatory finger towards.

I stood up and slammed my hands on the desk. 

I saw her shaked and took a step back. I guess she got scared but I could care less about that right now. 

" Don't you dare point your fingers. And what do you mean by ME!?? "

"You are the cause of everything and you keep pretending like you don't know me. Why do you act like you don't remember? "

"Remember what? What the hell do you keep talking about?"

" You don't remember that night? " she asked gaping at me.

" What night? Speak up, woman I don't have all day" I said looking at my wrist watch. 

"The night we ………..…"she trailed off.

"We WHAT!??".......
