Chapter 30- Best Evil Boss Ever
“ Uhm, it's been…” I turned to look at arrogant Ariana when Mr. Miller wasn't looking and she had that satisfied smirk like she got me where she wanted.
" Don't be like that Mr. Smith, I know we didn't get along at the beginning but I sure warmed up to you after hearing all the wonderful things my grandpa said about you. So it'd be good if you tell him how wonderful it has been for us working together,” She said, her voice remaining sweet.
" It's been really nice working together, Miss Miller is a good boss,” I said through clenched teeth and that witch had a smile on her face. She had already achieved what she wanted.
“ Oh, before I forget, I went shopping today and since your birthday is next week Sunday I got you an early birthday gift," She said as she brought the cane we had earlier bought.
“ I got you this grandpa," She said as she gave the cane to Mr. Miller and he took it with a gasp, seeming pleased with his early birthday gift.
“ This is lovely my dear, it looks so unique, I love it,” he said as he admired the beauty of his cane.
“ I'm glad you like it, I was very confused on what to get you," She said, not mentioning the fact that I helped her pick the gift when what she wanted to get was a wristwatch.
She wanted to get a wristwatch for someone who owns a jewelry company. Even when I told her getting him a nice cane would be perfect she argued with me until she finally gave in and now that he likes it she's talking like she had the idea for the gift all by herself.
Witch.
“ Well, I'm so happy you like it, I'll just go back to what I was doing, you guys can go on with what you were doing, see me before you leave Mr. Smith,” She said before she kissed her grandpa on the cheek and walked out.
“ Well, I'm so happy you and my granddaughter are finally getting along. I'm pleased to know,” Mr. Miller said with a pleased smile and I couldn't bring myself to tell him all she just said were lies.
“ Yeah, turns out she wasn't all that bad," Lies, she was horrible, the most horrible woman I've ever known all my life, she talks to me however she pleases and thinks she's a fucking queen or something.
“ That's good to know, well, are you ready to lose?” He asked and I chuckled as I took the game remote. It's good to know he does something aside from working and that gives me peace.

ARIANA'S POV
Well, I just killed two birds with one stone. I haven't gone shopping since I became the CEO so I just had to call my assistant.
His face when he called me the best boss almost made me laugh.
Let's see how he was going to contradict himself, he wouldn't do that. I knew that one of these days he was going to talk to my grandpa and tell him that I've been treating him badly, when all I was trying to do was correct him but he was taking it the wrong way. I needed to act fast and that was exactly what I did.
I walked to the kitchen to wash the fruits I'll be taking to the hospital for my Mom later. When I was done doing that I went into my room to sort out all the things I bought from my shopping.
I placed my shoes where my shoes are kept and then I sorted my clothes.
When I was done, I walked out of my room to go take care of my flowers. Just as I reached the door I heard none other than my assistant's voice.
I stopped as I waited for him.
When he reached the door he was about to walk past me but I stopped him.
“ Wow, I never knew I was such a good boss to you, I'm impressed, you know what? I'll try my best to be an even better boss," I said with a smile and he just looked at me without saying a word but I had a feeling that so many murderous thoughts were going through his head.
“ Well, have a lovely weekend Mr. Smith, see you on Monday, remember not to be late," I said before I walked away but I could feel his glare on me. I knew that if looks could kill I would be dead. I couldn't help but chuckle.
He asked for it.

HARDIN'S POV
It wasn't funny but I couldn't help but laugh as I entered my house, it was a dark humourless laugh.
“ Should I be worried? You just walked in here and the first thing you started doing is laughing, what's the problem?” Vera asked as I turned to see her sitting on the couch in the sitting room.
" It won't be long,” I said and she scrunched her brows in confusion.
" What are you talking about?” She asked.
" That woman is fucking getting on my nerves!”
" Hey, hey, calm down,” She said as she got up from the couch and walked to me.
" She treats me like I'm a fucking child, is that how you're supposed to threat someone who works with you? What the fuck is wrong with her?!” I asked in anger as I ran my fingers through my hair.
“ You have to control yourself, you know what she's trying to do, but as I said before, you have to control yourself, don't give her what she wants,"
" At this point I don't think anything you say would get to my head, I need a drink,” I said as I walked to my wine cellar and took a bottle of whiskey.
“ She woke me up in the early hour of the morning to go shopping with her and you should have seen how she took me around like some sort of slave, seriously Vera I'm done with that woman,” I said as I drank straight from the bottle.
" And there's that contract that says you can't leave the job or change to another department," She said and I laughed.
“ That's the worst part, don't tell me about it," I said.
" What are we going to do about this attitude of hers towards you?” She asked.
" You know me Vera, you know I hate being controlled and that's all that woman has been doing and I've been keeping silent. But this can't continue.”
" What do you suggest?” She asked.
" She has been barking, I think it's time I do the biting,"
“ What do you mean?"
“ You'll find out soon."
