Chapter 42- The Slap
" Who the hell are you?" I asked in anger as I turned to the woman that just poured my drink on my face.
I recognize her instantly as the woman from last night who stopped the elevator door to join us.
“ Why would you do this? What is wrong with you?" I asked as I used the napkin the barman gave me to dab on my face.
I had a reputation to protect and I couldn't be seen in public arguing with a lowlife like her.
“ Stay away from him, he's mine," Wait, hold on, I was getting this embarrassment because of my assistant? I should have known, but right now I feel offended. I don't think I've ever been looked down on in my entire life like the way this woman has looked down on me.
First in the elevator and now this, how could she think I'll want something to do with a man like him, you've got to be kidding me.
“ You can have him for all I care, I do not want him nor do I want anything to do with him so stop being dramatic and get out of my sight, take him with you while you're at it," I snapped before walking away.
I wasn't scared of her or anything, I could stand there and give her a taste of her own medicine but I knew it was going to lead to a fight and that was the last thing I wanted.
It was a good thing that not many people were at the bar when the bitch showed up.
I got into the elevator as my whole body boiled in anger.
I just have a feeling that this wouldn't be the first and last woman to harass me, thinking that I have something to do with that man aside from the fact that I am his boss.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator I matched to his room door.
I rang the doorbell and waited patiently for him to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door my hand landed on his cheek with a slap.
“ This was what I wanted to do to her so desperately when she poured that drink on my face, next time learn to keep your women or rather dogs on their leash," I said and he looked up at me with shock. Before he could say a word I turned from him and walked away.

HARDIN'S POV
What the fuck just happened? Did arrogant Ariana just slap me without doing anything to her? Has it come to that? That she could slap me and walk away because she's the boss.
I quietly closed the door with my hand to my cheek as I walked to the bed.
As much as I was tempted to walk to her room and do to her what I do to women like her, I stopped myself.
Wow. I don't think I've been slapped by a woman in a very long time. I don't even think any woman would dare raise their hand to slap me and then there's this little woman that calls herself my boss.
I did nothing to her that would warrant a slap. This was crazy, who does that woman think she is?
Is she the first woman to be the CEO? She's not and neither will she be the last, why the fuck was she letting it get to her head.
My eyes went to my laptop screen where I was on a video call with my best friend before I heard the doorbell ringing.
“ What happened, why do you look like you just met a ghost at the door?" Vera asked.
" Can you believe I just got slapped by my boss,” I said as I watched Vera spit out the coffee she had in her mouth in shock.
" What?! Why would she do that?” She asked.
" I wish I had an answer to your question, she rang the doorbell and then I went to open it and that's the first thing I got, a slap,”
" That's crazy, why is she treating you this way? That's wrong Hardin, are you sure you're not going to talk to Mr. Miller about changing your job position?” She asked.
" Did you forget the stunt she pulled that day? He only sees her as a very good boss because I said so, because she made me say so,” I said as I rubbed my cheek.
The slap was personal.
“ Then find out why she would slap you," Vera said.
“ She mentioned something about someone pouring a drink on her face and the slap I got was because of that. But who would do that and why do I get the slap and not the…wait! I think I know who... fuck, that bitch,” I cursed in anger as I ran my fingers through my hair.
“ Who?" Vera asked.
“ One of my flints. Met her in the elevator and she thought arrogant Ariana was my girlfriend and the reason I haven't been picking her calls," I said.
" Haven't I warned you to stop fooling around but you wouldn't listen now see what you have to deal with,” She said with a shake of her head.
“ How is it my fault they won't leave me alone, they all want a taste of my sexy body,"
“ Eww, go away I have more important things to do than talk about that, I have to go," she said and before I could say another word the screen went blank and I couldn't help but chuckle.
I need to have a talk with that blondie and warn her seriously before she puts me in more trouble.
I don't even remember her fucking name nor do I have her stupid phone number.
She's going to regret what she did and as for arrogant Ariana she should continue piling up her sins but at the right time there would be no mercy for her.
Boss or not.
It's a promise.
