~ What do you mean ~

< Previously *>

” Qui est -elle ( who is she?) ” Riele asked her secretary in french.

*

Penny touched Micaela arms slightly ” Drop your head down, Boss .
she is staring .”

” Ohh!” Mica muttered and dropped her head with a frown. What was this ,a greeting my foot! . They aren’t slave or maids they are employees ! * She snapped in her head at no one

Riele eyes Micaela ” you ain’t deaf Jane , Who the hell is that lady in yellow!” She whispered . Riele could have walked up to her and asked her directly but she realized it will make her loose the fear the staff had for her and most importantly , she will look petty!! , And she h@ťěs being that.

Jane side rolled her eyes ” How am I supposed to know that ?’ She almost hissed but she smiled instead .

” I don’t know , Madam .” Jane said

” You don’t know .” Riele snapped turning her head sharply at Jane ” Didn’t I asked you to monitor the company affairs and their employees , do you even love your job , well it seems so to me you don’t, you are fired !’ Riele snapped at once .

Jane eyes widened ” Fired ! , That’s impossible .” . She went on her knees immediately and held Riele feet feet .

The staff glanced at each other ” what the hell is going on ?”

👥 SUCH A PITY

👥 WHAT DID SHE DO ?

👥”DON’T SYMPATHIZE ! KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN .

Riele smirked as Jane held her feet and bowed deeply with her head almost falling from her body ” I am sorry , Madam . I swear I had no idea. It’s a lot poke noising into Brixton , please spare my job , please , I need it . My son’s is having his first chemotherapy , please !” She begins to shed tears .

Riele stared and break into a cackle ” Well guess what , I don’t care !’ she kicked off Jane with her feet. Jane close her eyes in pain but she didn’t let go of Katherine legs .

 

” Let go of my Leg .” Riele gritt in annoyance .

” Please Madam ., ” Jane sobbed and hold Katherine legs tigher .

Riele smirked and shrugged ” okay , stand up !”. She said .

 

Jane smiled , she knew her services will be needed afterwards . She obeyed immediately . Shockingly Riele slapped Jane hardly in the face .

Loud Gasp filled the air

👥 GOSH

👥 WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!

👥 JUST SHUT UP AND KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN !! You don’t want to be next !

Micaela glared at Riele. Anger surged within her , how dare her slap a grown woman old enough to be her elder sister ! What sort of training did she have . The hell you are rich so what! . She is a Fernando ! Her dad is top one in USA , she had fleet of cars and maid at her beck , so Big deal. She left it all but she would never be rubbished like this , never happening!!.

Riele smirked satisfied as she watched Jane break into Tears ” Alright. ” She rolled her eyes with a smile ” you are hired again .”

Jane smiled and rushed to hug her but Riele held a finger meaning * Don’t you Dare, Ɓîtçh ! *

” Thank you Madam , Thank you so much .” She bowed thanking Riele profusely who smiled pleased just like how she wants , everyone under her feet .

” Just do your job well , Jane .” Riele said and saw Bullet walking over.

Bullet eyes widened as he saw Riele , he turned around immediately to avoid her .

” Hey puppet ” Katherine called and he stopped with a light frown. She smudge at that.

” Where is Kael ?” She asked.

” You could have just walked into his office ” Bullet said and she frowned displeased .

” Are you going to do your job or not! ” She half yelled and he clenched his fists .

” Follow me .” Bullet walked back to the office direction and Riele stared at the fruit basket with a fake sympathetic smiles.

“Look at it , Jane . You wasted such nice fruit .” She whispered staring at Jane who had her head bowed .

Jane wasn’t at fault , cause the fruit basket fell while Katherine kicked her harshly but she bowed lightly ” I am sorry , ma’am .” She hold her dress tightly as tears filled her ears. It wasn’t new thing , Riele treats her like trash always but the feeling hurt everytime. She sniffed back in her tears. Katherine scoffed picking invisible dirts under her nails.

” Well get going ….” She flew air on her nails as she spoke and Jane scurried out fastly .

” Bag ..” Riele snapped, her bodyguard rushed over and hand her her purse.

Bullet was watching with Anger and hatred ,well….. he h@ťěs Riele but what’s is business , she is kael’s problem to deal with .

“Here . Puppy. ” Riele clicked her tounge like she was calling a Dog , Bullet frowned but took the purse from her .

” Good boy .” Riele flipped her hair , she walked with elegancy and as she reached Micaela whose head wasn’t dropped , Riele smirked , she eyed Micaela dressing . The workers watched with fear of what she would do .

Micaela grip tightened on her files. This brat better not mess with her .

👥” WHAT IS HAPPENING ?”

👥 ” IS SHE FIRING THE NEW PRODUCTION MANAGER OR WHAT?

Berveley smirked ” she knew Riele h@ťěs rivalry , rivalry in business , mostly in beauty and face standard .

Instead Riele jerks her shoulders a little and smiled at Micaela ” Pretty .” She muttered and walked out . She is not bothered by a pest. Kael can never see her anyway!

The workers jaws dropped in surprise and shock .

 

👥” DID. DID SHE JUST COMPLIMENTS THE NEW PRODUCTION MANAGER!, UNBELIEVABLE . AM I RIGHT.

They gossiped among themselves as Katherine Left . Penny finally breathed .

” Gosh , I h@ťě her .” Penny blurt and covered her mouth when she realized she said that loud . Micaela giggles softly .

” Why are you so scared of her ?” She asked .

” Who wouldn’t be ? She is the Boss fiancee , and she practically controls the entertainment industry , her grandmother is a Devil spawn , her father is … Is.. , nevermind ?’ Penny muttered inaudibly .

It made Micaela more curious ” Tell me ?’

Penny took her lips in , she searched around with her eyes and shook her head ” Nevermind , it was a silly thought I just said. Nothing really , I didn’t say anything.” She hurriedly said in fear that Micaela noticed .

Penny breathed in realizing how weird she sounds and gave Micaela a smile ” Let’s get back to work , shall we ? Boss ?” She managed not to stutters and started typing on the keyboard fastly ignoring Micaela.

Micaela drew a long sigh , she knew Penny was hiding something else, who the hell is that brat father! So he is engaged , woah ,.

” Look ….” Penny said and she focused on a their system.

” No , you got it wrong a little , just summarize it with a simple balance sheet and ……” Micaela begins to explain.

***

” Baby!” Riele rushed over to Kael running , he shifted back the chair and glanced at Bullet who ignored him and walked out.

She is your problem to handle. Bullet expression said it all.

” What’s going on babe I have been texting all month .” She pout childishly and he frowned a bit at her.

” Texting , you texted once .” He said diverting his gaze from her to his computer system filled with work .

Riele scoffed ” Still I texted you..” she said , he pretended not to hear. No he ignored her ! . She stood up angrily and shut the laptop .

” It’s always work , work and work !! . Don’t you have time to spare , for me .’ She sat on his lap and begins to straddle him slowly but he didn’t got moved ,he just watched her uninterested.

” Are you done ?” He asked ” get up.” His voice came out bit cold , she pouted annoyingly but obeyed .

” Seriously you can’t keep treating me this way , so cold and distant ,am your wife to be!” She half yelled .

Kael pinched the bridge of his nose closing his eyes”. Shut up .” He ordered and her lips zipped. Of course she is scared of him ,he is so cold and scary just like her Dad but he’s is her fiance.

 

” I am sorry…..” She wraps her arms around his neck trying to kiss him , but he turned and she kissed his cheek. Fair enough . She smiled .

” Don’t push it . Kael..”” He pushed her gently from his body , she crossed her legs leaning on the table , she stared at him trying to read him but as usual he was unreadable , so unreadable …

“Anyway…..” She curled her hair with her fingers ” I need to shop ,my wardrobe is scanty .”

He frowned ” Didn’t you shop last week .?”

She giggled ” I know right , it’s been that long .Am going to burn the old clothes in my closet. Gosh ! So last week !” Riele brought out her tongue making disgusted face and she rolled her hair with her pinky finger staring at Kael.

” So….,,,, I need New clothes Especially Gucci. Bae ! … You should see the latest designs of Fendi !!! It’s hot and would look great on me !!! , I know you like when I dress for you . But you are so good at pretending. …..”‘

Kael threw a card at her ” Stop talking.” He said. Her voice was boring him and he h@ťěd it. He h@ťěs long talk , infact nothing about her exicte him anymore , point of correction nothing about her excited him at the beginning.

” Woah ! A black card !” Riele giggled as she stared at it , she is going to use it all ” Thanks bae .” She leaned to kiss him but he glowered and she huffed taking a seat beside him.

” You should leave , I am busy .” Kael said typing fastly and checking some random files.

” Wh@ťěver .” She slurred , suddenly pulled him by the neck and kissed him. His eyes widened and he wanted to push her off but she held him tigher.

” There is a staff in here .” Riele muttered against his lips , he drew a long sigh and she smiled straddling him even more she made their tounge rolls against each other

Just then Micaela walked in . ” Oh Chriso! ( Oh Christ!) She muttered turning back instantly and felt weird . Like the feeling was so weird.

Kael pushed Riele off ” Enough .” He muttered and she smiled .

” Hey there , drop it over here . We are busy.’ she said cheerfully to Micaela whose legs slowly wobble.

” They were kissing.” She muttered and snapped to herself ” So what!”

Micaela bobbed her head and drop the file , avoiding Kael who Stared at her. Kael noticed that and pulled his cheeks to her face .

” Babe , should I spend it all….” She asked sweetly and loud enough for Micaela to hear .

Kael shut his eyes , he badly want to push Riele off . She is so frustrating ! , He watched Micaela arranging the files calmly besides him and he felt annoyed a bit ” Be quick ! .” He said and she fastened up and walked out .

As soon as she left , Riele got of his lap with a smirk on her face.

” What was that for?” He asked .

She scoffed annoyed” Do I need permission to kiss my fiancee , Oh no !. My bethroned .” She emphasized playing with her nails and took her purse .

” Adopo ( see you later ) honey!” Muah !” Riele smiled and walked out , she saw Jane struggling with another fruit basket ,her smile disappeared.

Jane noticed that and bowed deeply “i couldn’t get a new one nearby , I am sorry ma’am.” She apologized in fear.

” Hmph ! Just shut up , go and drop it and meet me downstairs in the car , NOW!’ Riele half yelled .

Jane ran to the office and Riele closed her eyes in satisfaction ” Now what next?” She took out her phone ” Hola papa ( Hello father). Yes I am back , I went to visit Kael . ”

📞” Oh really…..” The voice teased at the end .

Amber giggled naughtily” oh stop it. Papa ….”

📞” Wh@ťěver , you must know ………”. A voice interrupted him and he yelled at the voice harshly . Riele rolled her eyes and hung up . Just then Jane got out , she threw her purse at Jane who took it hurriedly .

” Gatcha !( Let’s go !)

*

Kael pinched the bridge of his nose ,he has been doing that since … While rubbing his temples slowly… Bullet sat down watching like an audience . When he was done ,he glared at Bullet .

” Why didn’t you tell me , she is coming today ?”….

” I had no idea , I just saw her and boom ! She asked of you .*” Bullet replied , he walked over to Kael desk and dropped a file .

” Amazon projects . Miss Fernando handled it perfectly ,they can’t wait for production to begin after seeing that outline she drew. She is quite an artist too .” Bullet nods his head as he spoke , he watched Kael raised his brows at him.

” Just drop it and leave ”

Bullet smiled” Alright , Boss .” He dropped the file and left obeying orders .

Kael opened the files , studying the outline slightly impressed , she is something else. He recollect how he had yelled at her earlier in the production area and she didn’t even blinks like most ladies. Her face was Stony . His lips tugged . Now this is the exictement he is talking about . He continues studying the files.

PRODUCTION AREA

” Hi ..” Bullet smiled as he walked over to Micaela. Penny raised her head surprised.

” Is he talking to me?” Penny points to herself.

‘” Hello .” Bullet gave Penny a brief nod and she shrugged” At least she didn’t get ignored but what’s he doing here?”

The staffs glanced at themselves a bit surprised and worried.

👥 WHAT’S HE DOING HERE?

👥ARE WE GETTING FIRED?

👥 I COULD SWEAR THAT I BOWED TO THAT MADAM. They thought he was here to dismiss them for Riele..

Micaela smiled shortly at him , she knew he was approaching her and she turned out to be right right cause he stopped and rested his arms beside her chair, everyone watched with awe .

👥 UNBELIEVABLE.

Lucas nudges Brian ” Isn’t that your girl?”.

Brian said nothing , he just stared at Bullet who was now conversing with Micaela . She had that little polite smile, Brian didn’t know when he smiled ” They are just friends.”

Lucas shook his head helplessly at Brian ” I can’t wait for you to get R@P£D , maybe that’s time you will realize you have been missing great deal and fuçking .” Lucas whispered , Brian frowned .

Penny smiled , she tried to eavesdrop but she doesn’t like someone intruding her and she is sure that Micaela would h@ťě it too . But what’s is he saying. ? She never knows that Bullet could talk this way. After a short laugh , Bullet smiled..

” You okay now?” He asked , Micaela nodded.

” You should quit comedy and focus on your job.” She said with a little smile and he faked a gasp .

” Bummer ” He said , His phone beeped and he read the message that comes with him ” I just want to say , don’t take wh@ťěver Kael says to heart ,okay ?” He asked with a smile .

She nods in reply , then they both smiled at each other. The phone beeped again , Bullet chuckles as he read it . Kael is soo pissed today .

” Got to go .” He taps her shoulder briefly and smiled at penny who stayed at a distance the whole time .

The workers stared at Micaela when he left with questions and curiosity in their eyes. While Beverley just glared .

Why does everyone likes her!

***

” Sorry Cupo ( Sorry Boss.” ) Bullet apologize as he rushed into Kael office to meet an Angry Kael .

Kael ignored him and stood up ” Get the car , ready .”

” Oh .’ Bullet grumbles and walked out immediately behind Kael .

The workers greeted him as he walked past them . The female stared flirtatiously except from Penny and Micaela who was busy typing on her screen . Endless greetings came from them , some pushed out their B-__-bs from their dress , the others just stared and wished for the impossible .

👥 EVENING BOSS

👥 LOOKING HOT

👥I WISH HE COULD LOOK AT ME JUST ONCE. IT WOULD BE A DREAM COME TRUE.

Kael walked past them he ignored their greetings , his eyes bored into Micaela . She didn’t even seem interested in catching his attention. She is amusing . The workers stared among themselves and he realized that for the first time in forever he stopped to listen to them.

👥 WOAH ! HE IS LOOKING AT ME.

Meanwhile Micaela practically buried her head on the table drowned in working and wanting to avoid him. Imagine the adoration , scoffs * Bet he will be feeling like a proud monkey now .”

Kael walked past them quickly and the female staffs smiled among themselves.

👥 I caught his attention .

👥No I did !!!

They whispered in argument , Penny rolled her eyes . It’s always like this everyday , at least she is not the only Sane one here anylonger , she smiled briefly at Micaela.

But Why is he always in face mask.” Micaela bit her lips .

” Oh , you are done with that one Boss .” She took the file impressed ” Woah I wanna be you when I grow up.” Penny teased and Micaela smiled .

” How old are you?” She asked

“24.” Penny replied .

Micaela took her lower lips in ” young .” She said and Penny arched her left eye brows.

” Aren’t you in your early 20s ?” She asked surprised .

Micaela responded with a soft laughter that felt like breeze even to Penny hearing ” Am just a year to 30.” She finally said and watched penny jaws dropped .

” You are … You are 29! .” Penny stuttered ” How’s that possible , you have such incredible body and shape and curves and you look so young!” She rants still in disbelief .

Micaela just smiled . Well she gets that a lot . Penny stared at Micaela body from Head to toe from her lips to her jawline , her neck bone , her lips and well structured nose .

” Now I really want to be like you when I grow up! Boss!” She gushed out still staring .” Can we switch body ,uh ? ,I get bullied because I am so short …”

” Bully ,by who?” Micaela expression turned serious ” Tell me , this place or at home?”

” Its at home.” She whinned and pause.

” Go on .” Micaela urged impatiently .

” By my Mirror . It’s been taller than me since when I bought it .” Penny replied laughingly .

“Oh my God!” Micaela burst into laughter ” Seriously ? I thought it was something else?”

Beverley watched them jealousy , Penny used to cling to her , now she is all over that witch ! So is everyone else.

Brian walked up to them , they were still laughing. Mica stopped but Penny kept laughing at her own joke , it felt so infectious that he smiled , when she saw him she stopped abruptly then clears her throat .

” I am sorry, did I interrupt something ?” He asked like a curious cat.

Don’t blame him , blame Penny infections laughter .

” No .”Mica cleared her throat , it’s been long she laughed with a girl her age except from that nut head ” Felony.”

” Okay.” Brian shrugged ” We are having a team dinner this Friday which is tomorrow , so I just want to let you know that after this you will be picking date for the dinner .”

” Dinner ? What that all about?”

” Well it’s nothing much? We seat and discuss progress in work and it’s a way of having free dinner.” He paused”

“. No a way of compensating us after a long long torturous week .” He paused to air -quotes” All in the name of working.”

” Well that’s nice . I think .” Mica scratch her hair slowly” Well who was in charge before I was employed .I would like to seek their help regarding that.”

” Oh ,” Brian smiled . She is so eloquent in her speaking ,he was just lost in her word .

 

” Brian. Brian.” Micaela called but he was fazed a little

Penny noticed it” it was Beverley .” She said and Micaela face crunched a little .

No matter how she tried to push it , she can’t get this feeling that Beverley is bad news .

Penny noticed that also ‘ We all thought she would be the New Production Manager. No ” She rolled her eyes slightly and Brian found himself smiling

” She thought she would be the New Production Manager, so she volunteered and now that she isn’t , it’s your job and mine if you need my help with it ” Penny explained .

” Well certainly , I don’t need her help !” Micaela drawled out” You help me ” She said to Penny .

Brian smiled” I guess it’s settled then ” Hr dropped a file besides Micaela desk and walked off.

” Did you get her number?” Lucas asked as Brian settled down beside him.

” Seriously dude ! It’s too fast . I like to take things slow and steady” Brian groaned and Lucas rolled his eyes.

” I like to take things slow and steady. Good job Mr Tortoise.” He teased and focused back on his work .

Brian chuckled , well he didn’t find it offensive. To him Micaela is like a puzzle ,a cute puzzle . When he remembered the bathroom incident ,he smiled a little . She is mysterious. Who turns on a tap just so you can stare at your face .

 

*** AXIS .6PM.

The Rolls-Royce vehicle stopped . Bullet walked over and opened the car door for Kael a bit surprised that they are in Axis . Kael stared at the building in front of him .

It’s been 9 year’s he had stepped into this company .

* FLASHBACK 15 YEARS AGO*

GAME ROOM

” What are you doing here?” Rocco spat out staring at Kael disdainfully who was playing a video game on the screen. The guard glanced at them selves they had warned Kael not to walk in ,they feared that they would loose their job now.

Kael ignored him , hitting the key pads and he crossed his legs slowly , it infuriated Rocco more .

” I said , what are you doing here !” Rocco walked up to lurch at Kael but he wasn’t quick because Kael grabbed his arms and sprained it from behind then twisted it. The guard rushed over as they heard Rocco yelped in pain . They stared at Kael and he seethed in anger then pushed Rocco to them .

” Don’t piss me off.” Kael muttered ,he took his game pad and opened the door.

” Get off me!” Rocco yelled at the guards and shut the door closed with his legs. Kael raised his brows , staring at Rocco coldly .

” You think you are better than me uh !!. You really think so !!You are basically an orphan whose Dad is dead !! and whose mother is a mentally unstable deranged old lady who…..” Before he could complete , Kael leapt and grabbed Rocco throat , Rocco tried to fight back ,it made Kael more angry and he sent wild hard punches to Rocco face before he could get rescued by the guard .

Kael seethes watching Rocco bloody face fiercely , he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he spat at Rocco , slowly he walked to Rocco. The guard rushed in front to shield Rocco.

Kael smirked ” you know before I always wanted to ignore you. But no, you choose to make my life a living hell , well game is over for you Cugino ( Cousin) because I will show you why I am dreaded among humans , I will exhaust every strength in your fuçking fibre, take it till you drain lifeless, take everything so – called thing you bragged about and chased you to hell to have tea with the devil.” Kael swore with a devilish excitement and Rocco almost peeped on his pants.

Why wouldn’t he be intimidated , Kael look just like a Maniac , crazy one.. The guards were not left out, his words send shivers , fearful ones ! To their spine. They have never seen him this way and his eyes…….

After he is sure he words had sunk deep ,he threw a game pad at Rocco . It hit Rocco on the nose and his ( Rocco)nose bleeded instantly , the sight of blood excited Kael and his gaze darkened with vengeance and determination .

” I will start with Axis , let’s play Cousin ( Cugino) .” He muttered with a devious smile.
