"You know that we don't have time, Mr Levi what are you doing? Don't put it there!!" Our VP's voice bellowed in our department.
"What a crazy witch?" Zach muttered with a face laced with irritation.
"I agree." I whispered back as I was passing him the banners to hang them up.
"I'm tired guys, why is she making us do these things." Kate groaned in frustration from beside me as she was cleaning the tables.
"Because today our beloved owner slash CEO is paying a visit to his abandoned office and she needs our lair immaculately perfect." I said dramatically with a pause and was about to continue when Kate narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked.
"What are you wearing tonight for the party?"
"Don't know?" I shrugged.
"Mr Young, Miss Miller and Miss Nolan, what are you'll doing there, there's no time for chit chat." with a murderous glare, the VP yelled at us.
She threw some posters and banners at our hand "Hang and stick them up there." she said pointing towards the empty white walls.
When she strolled away from us, we all three groaned in frustration and started hanging them up.
Well, today is the 25th anniversary of our company, which is in Manhattan, New York and also happens the day that our boss is paying a visit to one of his companies in states.
Our CEO slash owner of all the SDC companies in United States lives in Hawaii and our main company branch is in Hawaii.
Weird right..?
Well, most of the companies have their main branch in New York but ours is in Hawaii. People say that our boss don't like pollution and population so he stays in that island.
We have many branches across the states like West Texas, Florida, California, Washington and many more. In so many SDC companies around the states, no one has ever been appointed as a CEO, instead we have only one CEO and that is Harold Kingston, he also happens to be the board member and he himself selected him as the CEO of entire SDC companies. Only the Hawaiian branch has a CEO present in the company and the other companies have the COO to rule. Our CEO barely visits his other companies, maybe he trusts his COO alot. Our COO is an old man in his early fifties, Mr Frank Lee, who is our boss.
It's also weird, right.?
Well, many say that Harold Kingston is cold hearted, sinfully handsome billionaire, and no one should ever cross their paths with him because he's dangerous. Well they are rumours, I don't know whether it's true or not.
He's twenty seven and at a very young age he inherited the entire SDC branch from his mother, who died...
"DONE!!!" VP's screeching voice pulled me out of my trance.
"Almost!" We three flashed a sheephish smile as she threw us a disgusted glace and walked away.
We in return rolled our eyes and stuck our tongues out at her back.
She's a real bitch..
.......
After the stressful session with our VP, making us clean tables and hanging those banners.
Kate, me and Zach were sitting in cafeteria and having our lunch.
"My shoulders are strained because of doing so much of work." Kate groaned.
"Me too." I said while massaging my shoulders.
"So what about tonight?" Zach asked changing the subject.
Suddenly Kate brimmed with excitement forgetting about her shoulders.
"Actually I've selected two dress for myself, one is blue and the other one is hot pink, among both I don't know what to wear." She gave us a huge grin as she was really excited for tonight's party.
"I think you should wear hot pink one, you'll look hot in that." Zach suggested, slurping his drink.
"Even I suggest you hot pink one." I said while having a bite of my burger.
"Well I'm more excited to see Harold Kingston for the first time."
My luck is very good to me, as soon as I finished my degree, I gave interviews in many company including the SDC and I couldn't believe that I got selected by the SDC company.
Duh, it's a dream job for everyone because the salary in here is very high..It's been a year since I joined this company and I have never seen Harold Kingston for real. Obviously I've seen him in pictures or magazine covers.
"Oh!! He's drop dead gorgeous." Kate winked.
"Have you seen him for real?" I asked Kate.
"No it's my first time too" she muttered. "He's is called an actual man, so handsome, so perfect. Oh my god!! I'm gonna pass out" she fanned herself while I smiled and Zach just rolled his eyes.
"He's not that handsome!" Jealousy Zach muttered.
"Every jealous men say that while every hot women say the otherwise." Kate stuck her tongue out.
"Have you seen Harold Kingston for real?" I turned my attention to Zach.
"Nope and I'm not even interested in seeing him for real." Zach exasperated.
"Let's talk about something else."
"Like what?" Kate asked.
"Like about..... your dress!" Zach grinned and suddenly Kate smiled and started talking about her tonight's hot pink dress.
During our lunch we discussed about tonight's party like, what to wear and how will the arrangements and set up would be?
After lunch, again we had a terrible session with our VP.
She made us hang the posters and banners and finally our department was immaculately perfect and that's when she left us, to go home.
As soon as I reached apartment, I landed on my couch to take a nap.
Today was an exhausting day..
I'm really excited for the party and I'm gonna fully enjoy it and have fun. After all it's the twenty fifth anniversary of SDC.
But like everyone even I had one thing in my head, How would the party be...
Kate, Zach and I were standing infront of the massive and most the expensive hotel of Manhattan. At the entrance of the hotel were reporters, paparazzi, cameraman, holding their camera and continuously clicking the pictures of the celebrities and the business tycoons, who were entering from the VIP doors.And for common employees like us, we had to enter the hotel from backside.What a sad thing.."Ugh!! These camera flashes are hurting my eyes, let's get in." Zach groaned in an annoyed tone."No! I want to see our boss entering the hotel and I even have my phone ready to click his picture." Kate flashed a smile, pointing her phone to us."After clicking his picture, please send it to me also." I said as Kate nodded in excitement while Zach rolled his eyes, frustrated by our behaviour. "How I wish they had taken my pictures too." Kate pouted. "How am I looking?" She turned towards us.Kate was wearing a hot pink satin floor length dress with spaghetti straps, which had a slit upto to
I reached the garden of the massive hotel and it was beautiful with the pole light on the compound of the hotel. I pulled my gown up before walking on the grass.I've said hello numerous times while walking down the stairs of the hotel but there was no response, so I disconnected the call. And now again I'm dialling to the same unknown number.On the second ring the person on the other side received."Hello?" I finally heard the voice of the person."Who is it? You have been calling me." I asked as I walked further more down the garden."Actually I'm sorry ma'am for dialling your number, I was dialling someone else but I don't know how your number popped up in my phone" the person said.So it's a wrong number..I sighed."Okay" I said in a bored tone and disconnected the call.I turned around to make way back to the hotel but I stopped in my track as I heard something. I turned back and infront of me was a garage.What was that sound??My curiosity kicked in as I took a slow cautious
"WHAT?? WHY??" I screeched but both didn't bother to answer me as they entered in and pulled me out by hand and firmly caught my wrist.What are they doing??Detectives aren't suppose to just arrest me without any investigation..I was shocked was an understatement because I was beyond shocked. I started to wiggle in their arms."You bitches, what are you all doing?" I snarled at them."Sorry Miss Nolan, you're not supposed to talk to us like that." The thin girl said and tightened her hold on my wrist."But atleast let me change my clothes." For god sake I was in my pajama." Daria!!^ prime prime the girls ignored me and called a woman in her early 40s as she came into view, she handed her something. That something was nothing but a tape, a freaking tape and a rope. And that girl stuck that tape to my mouth and tied my hands as she took my phone from me.My precious phone..I shot her a glare and tried to talk to her but all that came was a ugly muffling sounds from me.Daria gave me
I was sitting inside a private jet and it was so huge, I mean the interior was jaw dropping with the comfortable business seats but my jaw didn't drop as I was crying so hard thinking about my impending death.But anyway a small smile crept on my crying face,Atleast I got a chance to sit on a private jet before my death.As the time passed by, my eye lids felt heavy as sleep engulfed me.Someone patted my cheeks and I slowly opened my eyes and saw Daria standing in front of me with a small smile."Where are we?" I asked rubbing my eyes. I was unplastered when we entered the plane but my hands were still tied."Dear, we are in Honolulu."After 10 hours of long flight we reached Honolulu, city in Hawaii.Along with them, I got out of the plane and again there were three sleek black cars parked outside the airport. People were around walking by, but no one noticed me tied up.Nowadays people are just busy in their own lives..Can't blame them.. Because even I'm the same.."Atleast remo
"But I promise..." I exhaled deeply "...I won't tell it to anyone, I promise.""Promises are to break, Miss Nolan" Mr Kingston's face was still stoic.And oh my god! that velvety British accent voice.. I guess I love British accent more than American accent.."But you can trust me." I tried to convince him. "I know I can trust you, Miss Nolan but, Ashar is a son of the one of the most influential businessman." He stopped.I patiently waited for him to continue but he wasn't continuing.Damn... speak up man!!"So what??" I asked in an impatient voice.He turned towards the other people inside the room and gave a nod to them and they all left within a second. Leaving me and Mr mafia king all alone.And he continued."In the business world nobody knows me as King, for them I'm just Harold Kingston, that's it." He gave a pause for his words as he pursed his lips together for a while and then continued."So.."Pause.."... Ashar's father, however got to know that he was killed inside the g
I sat on the bed and thought about the dinner. I've read in billionaire novels, how they have feast all day for no reason. I mean, probably there will be many dishes like, meat balls, mashed potatoes, boiled egg, ham, bacon, sausages, chicken soup, duck roast, fried chicken, gravy, ramen and maybe Hawaiians famous dishes, poi, Loco moco, poke and at the end a tasty dessert.God!! My mouth instantly watered just by thinking about the dishes I'm gonna taste tonight.I got up from the bed and made my way downstairs, towards the dining area. Haro- I mean Mr Kingston was already sitting on the chair. It was circular wooden table with 5 seats. A beautiful flower vase was placed on top of the wooden table. I pulled a chair across Mr Kingston and sat on it.Mr Kingston was busy typing something on his phone, completely ignoring me. Daria entered the dining area with a wooden food cart which had two dishes and a jug of fruit juice and another jug of water. She placed the two dishes and two jug
I turned the door knob and stormed out of my room before slamming the door shut with a loud thud. I descended downstairs with my fist balled on my sides, my eyes blazing with fire and rage radiating off of me. As soon as I reached downstairs, I sprinted towards the lounge, where I usually find him. I scanned every corner of the lounge but sadly he wasn't here.I walked towards the million dollar kitchen and saw Daria washing the dishes and lost in her own world. I didn't want to vent my anger and frustration on her, so I took a deep breath to calm my nerves."Daria!!" She spun around abruptly."Oh!! Miss Nolan, your breakfast-" I cut her off."Where is king?" My tone was kind of cheeky when I said king."He's out for some business." She said.Probably out for some of his mafia business, because today is Sunday.. That asshole.."Okay." I nodded."And your breakfast is inside the microwave." She pointed a finger towards the microwave."I'll take it." She smiled.I took my breakfast fro
I was pacing back and forth with my hands locked from behind. I was waiting for Daria to knock on my door and call me out for dinner.I glanced up at the wall clock and it was already 8pm.Why Daria isn't calling me for dinner??Suddenly there was a knock on my door followed by Daria's voice. "Miss Nolan, dinner is ready." I grinned."Coming Daria." I said in a sing-song way before opening the door and sauntering out.I made my way towards the dining area and saw king sitting on his usual chair, scrolling down his phone. He was wearing a full sleeved grey hoodie and a sweat pants.I took a seat across him as Daria entered with the wooden food cart. King kept his phone aside as Daria placed a plate and glass before serving dinner to him.Okay it's time to open your mouth.I took a deep breath before opening my mouth."Um....uh..a frie-" straight away I was cut off by him."I don't talk during dinner or lunch or breakfast." He stated with his eyes fixed on his plate. "Whatever you have
