章 13: Eyes That Could Kill
When I was done arguing with myself...I then finally decided to just leave the shooting range.
I sigh deeply and start walking very carefully... almost tiptoeing, trying to not make a sound even the slightest as I don't want to catch his attention. He was facing the other side. That is enough to not see me passed by.
But I was suddenly stopped by a hand that was holding into my arms...I jolted in surprise. I turned around and faced him with a 'what do you want look?' and raised my eyebrows.
He glared at me for a few seconds and I noticed that his eyebrows were curled up as he let go of my arms and signaled me to stop.
"Why?" I mouthed. He was still on the phone so I didn't want to create any noise in his background.
"Alright...I'll be there in an hour." He speaks into the phone with a firm voice and ends it afterwards.
"Something came up in my office. I want you to come with me." He said in a serious voice. His eyes were still dark and empty… you could see anger written all over his face.
"Why?" I asked again. "What's happening?" Finally, I was able to ask the question that I've been dying to ask.
"You will know when we get there. Be ready in 30 minutes." He replied and we started walking out of the shooting room. Leaving all the things we used from a while ago. "I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay." I replied casually as we started going up the stairs… together.
I walked ahead of him once we're into the last
step of the stairs and went straight to my room without looking at him.
I took a shower quickly as soon as I entered my room as I was given 30 minutes only to prepare.
I decided to wear a pair of denim jeans, white blouse that is paired with a blue blazer and white sneakers.
I am not sure if my 'assistant job' will start today so I have to wear something which is comfortable for me… just in case someone would pop out of nowhere and cause a scene or whatever.
I just put blush on and lipstick for my face as I don't like too much makeup on me. I took my classic Chanel black sling bag and put everything that I needed. But strangely, I noticed something is missing!
OMG! I forgot my phone! It's been two days since the day of our reunion. I may have left it at our hotel room when someone took me and kidnapped me.
Holy shit! I even forgot about my best friend! We haven't talked since then. I can sense how she would react if I told her about this Assistant thing with Scott.
I know she would freak out to the highest level and would probably tease me. I must've been pretty occupied with the things that have happened to me for the past two days.
But first thing first, how will I be able to get my phone? How will I get a new phone if I don't find my old one? Should I ask Scott about it? Should I ask him to buy me one?
Naaah! That would be very embarrassing… asking your enemy to buy you your own phone...NO NO NO.. that will never happen, never. My ego is winning!
Before I could even think of another argument over my head, my alarm rang… yes, I did set an alarm just to be sure. I don't want to be late. I hate being late myself so I don't want others to feel the same way.
I stared at myself in the mirror before I left my room...when I felt the contentment with my look, I then hurried outside.
When I was already outside the house, I saw Scott outside his white Lamborghini, leaning towards the side door. Hmm! New car...the last time was a black classic mustang. He was wearing a gray suit paired with black newly polished shoes.
How many cars does he have? Just how wealthy is this guy!? I exclaimed to myself.
He was looking incredibly cool just by standing there with his black sunglasses on. His hair was waving together with the wind.
When I'm almost near his direction, he stands straight and I thought he would open the car door for me, you know, gentleman act. But, he fucking didn't!
He walked around and went straight to the driver seat and before he entered he spoke out, "Hurry!" He said with a stern voice.
The fuck! I wasn't expecting this! I exhaled deeply as I rolled my eyes towards him and walked my way into the car and hopped in.
I hadn't put my seatbelt on when he suddenly started the engine and drove the car without notice.
"Holy fuck!" I mumbled out of breath… I almost hit my head into the car window as the car suddenly turned left. "Are you trying to kill me!?" I burst out and glared at him.
He narrowed his eyes at me for a few minutes as if he was studying my body, "Well...I see that you are still fine and besides... you won't be killed by just hitting your head on a window." He casually said like nothing happened.
"Remember when you gave me a hard headbutt? Look at your head... it's still pretty intact." He glanced at me and smirked.
"Still! You can at least wait for me to put my seatbelt on!" I stared at him sharply as I let out a frustrated sigh and put the seatbelt on quickly.
He let out a soft laugh and started speeding up the car.
We arrived at the tallest building in Makati City, which has a big sign 'Alfonzo Corp' just right before the entrance and you can also see it on the top of the building. There was also a large banner hanging on the front of the building that had his picture on it, proudly smiling into the camera.
"Welcome to Alfonzo Corporation." He proudly said as he glanced at me for a moment and gave me a white paper bag and opened his car door to go outside. I didn't have the luxury to see what's inside the paper bag and just hold it with my hand as I quickly moved.
This time, I quickly followed him and went out of the car at the same time as him. I didn't wait for him to come and open the door for me… over my dead gorgeous body, a woman should never expect from a stupid man, right?
We started walking alongside towards the entrance of the building… but I noticed some eyes staring at us… or should I say glaring at me. You could clearly see that they're gossiping, they are whispering into each other's ears as they look at me from time to time.
I even heard one woman say to another woman, "Who is she? Who gave her the right to walk along with our boss!?" With an eye that could kill.
The same scene continued until we reached the elevator, thankfully his elevator was private… As I saw a sign before the door that has "CEO ONLY" written on it.
It has only two buttons which are for the emergency purposes and the other one seems to be directed to his office. And the elevator walls were glass, you could see all the surroundings and below it.
It didn't take long for me to enjoy the lift when we were slowly getting higher as I felt dizzy when I looked down. So I closed my eyes and just lay my back into the wall until I felt that the elevator was opening.
A man was standing before our eyes as the elevator opened… he looked somewhat anxious when he approached us… it was Oliver.
"Scott...What took you so long to get here!?" He mumbled as he tugged his hair backwards. "Our men from Italy called me, they saw Paolo and your secretary... together!" He added, we are currently walking towards a big door... beside it was a clean desk with a computer… This must be his secretary's table.
Oliver shut his mouth as he mouthed 'Oh' and didn't finish his talking when he noticed me right behind Scott. I bet he was surprised that I was there and didn't know if he should continue or he should just stop whatever he is trying to say. He looked into Scott's eyes and seemed to be asking for permission or whatever.
His office looks so big, the first thing you'll ever see when you enter the room was a couch that looked really expensive and an animal fur carpet underneath, a big wooden table and a luxurious swivel chair. There was also another small door right at the other corner of the room.
I didn't have enough time to roam my eyes all over his huge office as he answered to Oliver.
