Chapter 40- Professional Pretender
Finally! Took her so long.
“ Is there something wrong with your ears and they're suddenly not functioning? Who's going to care if you go there? Yes you're representing me but it's not going to make as much impact as me going by myself, so get the fuck out of my room, I need to dress," She said.
Ungrateful bitch.
Would she be standing in front of me and arguing if she has ended up in the hospital?
She couldn't even say thank you.
Without saying another word I walked out of her room and decided to just wait for her outside the door.
Since she was acting stubborn and feels she's okay then she should do whatever she wants to do. That is none of my business.
Sometime later she walked out of her room fully dressed with a white two piece suit and black heels holding a black bag.
She looked good but I'd have to cut my tongue before I tell her that, not like she would even appreciate it.
We both walked to the elevator without saying another word as we got in and patiently waited to reach the ground floor.
We both knew she wasn't doing okay but she likes proving that she's in control. She's the CEO and I'm not bla, bla, bla, so she can do whatever she wants.
I thought she was smart, after hitting her head and instead of resting so she would be strong enough to attend the fashion show we have coming she's trying to act stubborn.
Fine. Miss CEO, suit yourself.
We walked out of the hotel as a car was already waiting for us and then we both got in.
We were almost an hour late to the meeting but it's better to be late than never.
We reached the location for the meeting as we both stepped out of the car and walked in together.
We were led by one of the company's employees to the meeting room.
As soon as the door opened, everyone's eyes turned to us but arrogant Ariana didn't even mind. She just held her head high as she walked into the room and I followed before she took a seat and I did the same, taking a seat just beside her.
As soon as we were seated, the meeting continued.
All through the meeting I couldn't help but notice the way arrogant Ariana would bring her hand to her head and rub and then she would lightly shake her head and close her eyes.
Well, didn't I tell her to rest but she wouldn't listen, she should suffer it.
It didn't take long, the meeting came to an end coupled with the fact that we came late.
Arrogant Ariana stood up from the chair as she walked to the host and started talking to him while I just exchanged pleasantries with some of the people I was familiar with.
I was still having a conversation with someone when I noticed arrogant Ariana pointing towards me and then I saw the host and her walking towards me.
“ Mr. Smith I hope you're doing okay now, I learnt you slipped in the bathroom and hit your head, that was why you guys couldn't make it on time for the meeting," The host said as I narrowed my eyes on a smiling Ariana.
“ Uhm, yeah, I'm doing okay," I said, playing along, so I'm the reason we were late.
“ You should have just rested, but I know you, you're a hardworking man and you take your job seriously, try getting some rest when you get home," he said as he patted my shoulder and I nodded.
Arrogant Ariana didn't seem too pleased with his compliment, what was she expecting him to say?
“ You're lucky to have him as your assistant, he's one of the best I know, if he wasn't faithful to the Millers, I would have convinced him to work with me but I know he won't, “ The host said with a laugh as I watched arrogant Ariana's face turn bitter.
Well, her lie was working in my favor.
Getting such a compliment from one of Paris' top designers in front of a boss that sees me as incompetent all the time was just what I needed to start my day.
“ You must agree with me that Mr. Smith isn't just a good assistant, he's a good man, don't you agree, Miss Miller?" Oh, he got her there.
“ Of course I do," She said, sounding like someone who swallowed a frog and was finding it hard to speak.
It was laughable but I gotta remain professional. I cautioned myself.
The host Mr. Louis was about to speak again but someone called him as he excused us to go talk to the person.
It was a good thing he was called because arrogant Ariana looked like she was about to wrap her hands around his neck and make him keep quiet.
Now she knows it wasn't just her grandpa that had something good to say about me.
“ At the end of the day, I am your boss and it is what I have to say about you that matters," She whispered as she looked up at me challengingly.
“ Miss Miller, I thought you said let's be friends? Are you already tired of pretending?" I asked with a smirk but didn't get any response.
Well, I'm used to that.
We finally returned to the hotel and I was grateful that arrogant Ariana didn't pass out like I was expecting. That didn't mean she was doing okay, she was good at acting strong but at the end of the day she was just human.
As soon as we walked out of the elevator she turned to me.
“ For no reason should you or anyone knock on my door, do your job," she said before walking away.
So now I'm supposed to guard her door or what?
I couldn't help but roll my eyes before I walked to my room.
At least I know she'll be resting or doing whatever the fuck she wants, I've got things to take care of.
I opened my room door and walked in as I closed the door but before I could take the first step, the doorbell rang.
I'm not in the mood to handle this woman and her shenanigans.
I groaned as I opened the door but immediately stopped in my tracks when I saw who was standing there.
