Chapter 157- Accusing Him Wrongly
ARIANA'S POV
“ Where is it?" I asked as I leaned forward on my desk and he looked at me with doubt on his face,
“ Come on Hardin, you remember you said you weren't going to hide anything from me,” I reminded him,
“ There was an auction and it ended up in Scar's possession," he said,
“ Scar? Like the guy I met the other day, the underworld Lord?" I asked and he nodded,
“ How Hardin? Why would it end up with him? I thought it was supposed to be with Ambrose Aaron, in Italy?” I asked,
" About that, he left Italy and we're yet to know where he is,” he said,
" What do you mean Hardin?” I asked as I looked at him in confusion,
" I had someone watch him, I didn't want us to go to Italy because it was dangerous,” he explained,
" Hardin?” I called as I looked him dead in the eyes,...." Who's the boss?” I asked,
" You are,” he said,
" And who are you supposed to listen to?” I asked him,
" You but only when you're making sense, it's my responsibility as your assistant to draw you back if you're making the wrong decision and going to Italy would have been a bad decision,” he said,
" Oh really or it's because you know there was no need to go there because the emerald eye wasn't even there?" I said and he looked at me with confusion in his eyes,
“ Excuse me what are you insinuating?" he asked and I shrugged,
“ You were so bent on not going to Italy what if it's because…”
" You think I have a hand in the emerald eye, is that it?” he asked with a scoff.
“ Don't take words out of my mouth,” I said and he looked at me with a shake of his head.
“ I should have known, I was being stupid, going the extra miles to as an assiatant and this is what I get?” he said and I could see the look of disappointment in his eyes,
“ You know what? Do whatever you want," he said before he turned around and was about to walk out of my office but I stopped him,
“ If you're forgetting, you have a job and that is to work for me," I said and he slowly turned to me,
“ Yes boss, what would you like to know, so you can use it to accuse me,"
“ Hardin!" I snapped as I slapped my hands on the table and got up in anger.
“ Do not talk to me like that!" I said as I looked at him in anger,
" Really?! But what? I work hard to make sure things work smoothly for us and you don't have a lot on your shoulders and what do I get? You just fucking accused me of having a hand in the disappearance of the emerald eye, how do I feel about it?!"
“ What do you want me to think? Just the other day you told me the guy was your friend and then he turns out to be a mafia don of some sort and now he's holding the emerald eye," I said,
" You have no fucking idea the length I have to go through for this company, you don't think I have a fucking life and my own personal problems but I put this company first because it has fucking being the only thing I know, so Miss Miller, when next you think about accusing me think about that,” he said as so many emotions went through his face,
I couldn't say a word. I just watched him, I just couldn't help it, everything was revolving around him and that didn't make me feel comfortable.
“ Excuse me Miss Miller, I'll be in my office,”
" I'm not done talking to you Hardin,”
" What else do you want to say? Go on, go ahead and call the police, is that what you want to do? Go ahead, I'm not some criminal I won't try to run away,” he said,
" I never said you were a criminal,” I said as I walked to him and I looked up at him and he scoffed,
" There are some things you don't have to say directly anyone with common sense would understand it,” he said,
“ Common sense is not that common Hardin,”
" Don't you fucking insult me!”
" Or…” my lips swallowed whatever it is she wanted to say as I pulled her by the waist and shoved my tongue into her mouth and she moaned as her fingers roughly dragged my hair but before I could enjoy his lips or get anything from him he pulled away.
" Call the police, I'm waiting,” he said before walking out of my office and I was left there breathing hard.
What just happened?

HARDIN'S POV
I've never been so pissed like I was at the moment, who the fuck did she think she was?
I was giving my very best for this company and yet all I get is this everytime she gets the opportunity she points fingers at me.
Was this how I spent years working for Mr Miller and he tells me so many things even before breaking it to his family and the public?
I knew she was going to think that, what did I expect? She was Ariana Miller after all.
I groaned as I rubbed my face. This job was fun until she became the CEO. I thought she had changed and started trusting me.
I suddenly didn't feel like working.
“ Mr Smith a package came for you,” I heard a voice say and I looked up to see on of our office security holding a bag,
“ Oh, thank you, please drop it on my table," I said and he dropped it before leaving.
I took the bag and looked at the content inside, I had ordered for chocolate to apologize for the way I treated her earlier but I guess we're even now.
She did worse.
I kept the bag back on the table as I leaned on my chair patiently waiting to see if she calls the police or not.
