"What the fuck is this?!" Spencer yelled, his face red with rage as he slammed the files down on the table severally. The six employees in the office all cowered under his gaze, not daring to meet his eyes. His voice was like ice as he continued, "I came here this morning and what did I find? Complete incompetence! Do any of you know what you're doing?"The company was unusually quiet apart from the boss’s loud yells that filled the building. Everyone buried themselves in their works, aware of his temper. They knew the drill. Whenever the boss comes in angry, Avoid him the best you can and don’t get caught slacking off. It was an act that they had not mastered even after years. The CEO was known for dragging out his anger, taking it out on anyone and everyone in his path. Word had already spread through the company, and everyone knew to avoid him at all costs. “Who the hell wrote this proposal?” Slapping the book two more times on the table, he demanded, his tone sending shivers dow
“But boss, why are we the ones always sent to do dangerous tasks? Every single time, we get sent for the worst tasks. Ahh, I think I'll reconsider my decision to be an FBI agent now.”“You're already one.”“I mean…. I can just resign and do something else. What if one day I get shot or kidnapped.” She let out a Loud gasp. “That day might be today. This is scary.” Giana complained, she held the seat belt tightly as she envisioned a scene in her head. “Stop it, Giana. It’s not like we’re going on a mission. It’s just questioning and it won’t take a lot of time. He’s not going to eat you,” Bree laughed. Giana threw her head back and laughed in disbelief as she stared at her boss sitting right next to her. “What? Just questioning? Haven’t you read articles about him? Everyone describes him as a cold, Unfeeling , no-nonsense man. I also heard that he treats his employees as trash and just his glare can make anyone pee their pants,” she said in one go. Flipping her head backward, she fini
“What the fuck. How arrogant can he get?” Bree snapped as she stormed out of the office with Giana, fuming as they made their way to the elevator. She angrily tied her hair in a loose bun, her displeasure evident on her face. “Really, Miss Boston. He’s so arrogant. If he was my little brother, I’d give him a slap.”“Too bad he’s not.”“We shouldn’t have come here without confirming he was behind the fire accident. We don’t even have solid evidence.” She sighed. “Now, we were made to look like fools.”“It’s fine, Giana. You don’t always need evidence for things like this.” Spencer was smart, she knew that many years ago. He always has a way around things.They got into the elevator.“Well, we still need to find the real culprit since Mr Bennett’s name has been cleared. We would have to conduct a proper investigation if we think that the fire accident was caused by someone.”“Definitely.” How was she going to tell her naive assistant that Spencer had it all planned out? How was she goi
“Spencer.”He threw his head backward, laughing shortly before looking back at her again, his eyes filled with resentment and anger that she had never witnessed before. “You must be craving for someone else’s touch,” he sneered. “Tell me, who is it, hmm? Is it one of those pot-belly men you want to spend the rest of your life with? Or a rich billionaire that would provide you servants and huge mansions. You want to go to them as always. That’s what you want, isn’t it?”“Spencer!”“What? I’m telling the truth. You don’t have to deny it, Bree. Tell me, where are they? You should be a spoiled billionaire’s housewife instead of an FBI agent.” Spencer chuckled. “Or don’t tell me that they dumped your ass for not taking their dick so well.”“Spencer, you…you can’t say things like this.” All Bree could do was say his name and silently plead with him to stop hurting her with his words. She shook her head in denial, holding in the tears that threatened to stream down her cheeks. “I can and I
“Darling, I’m he-“ The door was suddenly pushed open. Their gazes flew to the woman who just came in. The woman took in the scene before her, the position that they were in, her eyes passing over both of them before resting on Bree. The click of her heels echoed in the office as she approached them. “Darling, I said I’m here.”At the woman’s words, Bree immediately broke away from Spencer’s grip, hastily wiping her tears. Her eyes scanned the woman taking in every detail from the top of her perfectly stretched black hair to the tips of her red heels. She wore a tight pencil skirt that stopped just above the knee and a matching jacket that barely reached her waist. In her hands were two shopping bags. Finally, Spencer made a turn to the woman, his face still red with anger. “What the hell are you doing here, Emily?”Emily? Bree thought. That explains why the woman looked familiar. Emily Watson, the spoiled only daughter of the Watson family. They were close friends with the Bennet
Emily’s face was fuming red in anger as she stormed out of the office, making her way to the elevator, her heels clicking loudly as she walked.Getting to the elevator, she stood still glaring at the two female employees beside her. She hoped they weren’t hoping to get in the elevator with her. The very thought of sharing the lift with them made her blood boil. The elevator pings open. She stepped in only for them to try and squeeze in with her. “What nonsense. You do not know who I am, right?”“Wh…what?”She laughed in disbelief. “How dare you try to get in the elevator with me. Step back. I can see you don’t love your jobs anymore. Once I get Spencer to marry me, you all are done for.”Taking things into her hands, she shoved them outside just in time for the elevator to close, sealing them out. She wasn’t only angry that they were trying to get in with her, she was also angry that Spencer hadn’t yet given her the privilege to use his private elevator and so whenever she came here
“Mommy?”“Yes?”“Those aunties in there kept staring at us. I know they were gossiping about us. I could tell,” Ariel whispered to her mother as they got outside the cafe each holding a cup of coffee in their hands. “What aunties?” Bree frowned. After picking up the child from the Boston mansion, she decided to clear her mind and take the child shopping. Luckily, Ariel was in a good mood and was eager to shop with her. As they walked through the busy place, Bree wondered who it was that her daughter was talking about. She wasn’t as observant as Ariel so she didn’t notice anybody staring at them when they were purchasing coffee the other time “Those aunties who stare at us like they were going to eat us.”“I didn’t see anyone. What do they look like?”“One had black hair with cherry pins and the other was blonde. I don’t know who those Aunties are but I don’t like them at all.”Bree patted her daughter’s hair. “No worries, baby. Keep calm. You’re not going to see them again, okay? Co
“What the..” Spencer groaned as he reached for his buzzing phone on the bedside table, his head hazy as hell. Just as his eyes fell on the caller ID, he immediately sat up on the bed. “The fuck?” He wiped his eyes to see if he was seeing correctly. Cursing, he answered the call. “Mom, what happened this time?” His mom only calls him this late whenever there is a problem or whenever she wants to scold him. He wondered what it was this time and for the likes of him, he surely wasn't in the mood to answer her scolding. It was midnight for goodness sake. It had been a rough day for him and he had only managed to sleep when the call came in, breaking him from his sleep. “Nu Nu.” A female voice rang from the other line. “Not the name again. What do you want?” He pinched the space between his brows. His Mom was fond of calling him his baby name Nu Nu and honestly, he wasn't a fan of people calling him that. He stopped being a child when he was ten and even after that, his mother would n
