Chapter 21- His Joy Giver
“ I swear Vera, it's taking everything in me not to go back to that office and give her a piece of my mind, who does she think she is to talk to me like that? I do everything she asks and yet she still complains, you should have seen how she talked to me in front of the interior team all because I was trying to do my job, she fucking called me dumb, you should have seen the look in her eyes, like I was a lowlife human undeserving of her attention, Vera that woman is getting on my nerves,” I said in anger as I paced my office.
It took everything in me to control myself when she talked to me like that. I'm a man and even if I'm working as her assistant I deserve respect but Ariana doesn't give a shit.
I was yet to take her schedule to her because I didn't want to see her annoying face, she could kiss her ass for all I cared.
“ Calm down Hardin, be the bigger person, just see her as a nagging child and ignore her," My best friend said.
“ Nagging child? Really? You didn't see her, she was nothing like a nagging child rather she was an evil bitch walking in the skin of a woman, a woman I work for, I'm telling you Vera so you know, but one of these days I'm going to snap and I know that day isn't very far, and you know what is annoying me right now?"
“ What?" She asked.
“ I have to travel next week with this woman to Paris for a fashion show and I have a lot of people that respect me. What if this woman ends up embarrassing me in front of them? What will I do?” I asked as I rubbed my face.
" Why is she so arrogant? Does she think that until she's arrogant before people would respect and fear her?" She asked.
“ Exactly my question," I said.
“ You'll be fine, just calm down, show her you don't care about her attitude,"
“ But I care, Vera, I do, she insulted me in front of people and you say I shouldn't care, I do," I said.
“ Okay, but please control yourself, if you give into your anger you're going to do something you'll regret, we both know how you get when you're angry," She said and I sighed.
" I'll try my best, I feel better now that I've talked to you, you're my joy giver,” I said and she chuckled.
" I love you best,” She said,
" I love you too, it's time for me to walk myself into the witch's coven,” I said and she laughed.
" Can you stop calling our CEO a witch, one of these days it's going to backfire on you,”
" I have her number stored as arrogant witch and I'm not going to change that,”
" Hardin, you're going to get in trouble with that woman when she finds out,”
" Good thing she wouldn't, what business does she have with my phone?”
“ Bye Hardin, I have to go back to work," She said .
" Okay, bye,” I said before I ended the call.
I took a deep breath then took my tablet and walked out of my office.
I knocked on her door and she grudgingly told me to come in. As I opened the door, memories from last night wanted to raise their ugly head but I pushed them down, deep in the back of my mind where they belong.
I walked further into the office as I stood in front of her while she still had her eyes on her screen.
“ Your schedule for today, we have to meet the models we'll be taking with us to showcase our jewelry in Paris next week by 10:00 am, then, you have a lunch meeting with Mrs Rosa, she's one of the company's oldest clients,” I said and she narrowed her eyes on me.
Of course she knows Mrs Rosa, she knows all the company's partners and clients, how did she become the CEO if she didn't? Sorry miss no it all, my bad.
“ Then there would be a meeting with all the department heads to discuss the upcoming show we have here in Las Vegas,” I said and she just humed and I saw it as my cue to leave.
I turned and was about to leave but her voice stopped me.
“ Mr. Smith," She said and I turned.
“ I'm going to pretend that last night didn't happen because the next time something like that happens which you should be praying it doesn't, I'll have you arrested, do we have an understanding?” She asked.
“ Yes we do, it will never happen again," I said before she turned back to what she was doing.
I walked out of her office and thankfully she didn't stop me this time.
I got settled in my chair as I got busy with work. There were some things I needed to take care of before we went out later to see the models.
I drafted the agenda for the meeting later before I sent it to arrogant Ariana for her approval.
When it was time to leave I went to her office door to knock but just as I was about to knock the door opened and arrogant Ariana walked out with her bag looking ready to leave. Well, she's on time.
She didn't say anything, she just walked past me and headed to the elevator and I did the same. The elevator ride was quiet, not like we had anything to discuss.
We were still in the elevator when her phone started to ring.
She brought it out of her bag and when she saw the caller she quickly answered the call.
“ Is there a problem Agnes , is she okay?" I heard her ask.
" Oh, thank God,” She said as her hand went to her chest then she breathed in relief before she ended the call.
“ Is everything okay?" I asked but I didn't get any response, I should be used to this. Maybe I should make her name longer, silent and arrogant witch.
We reached the ground floor as we walked out of the elevator. When we walked outside the company I turned to arrogant Ariana hoping she wouldn't pull that stunt of closing the door on me again.
I opened the car door for her and she got in and thankfully she didn't close the door this time.
I got in after her as I closed the door and the driver started the car and drove off taking us to The Miller's studio.
When we reached there I got out first and then I opened the door for the boss herself.
She got out looking like a majestic queen as she climbed up the stairs and I followed her.
The entire studio was filled with women all eager to have a chance to showcase our jewelry in Paris.
Something or rather someone suddenly caught my attention, I didn't want to believe my eyes, until our eyes met and I immediately knew I was in deep shit.
I was busted.
