DANGEROUS EMOTIONS - CHAPTER 33&34

★{You’re Hired}★

^ONE WEEK LATER^

“Woah! The city didn’t change much, I can’t believe everything is just the same way it was,two years ago”Valerie muttered as she looked out of the cab window, inhaling the scent of the new City.

She was already on her way to the new apartment she rented, thanks to the man who helped her with all the necessary things she needed.

She grabbed her phone,and the first picture on it is the picture of she and her Mom,she used it as her lockscreen wallpaper.

She sucked in her bottom lips, relaxing her head on the headrest with her eyes closed tightly as she reminisced about her mom,she couldn’t believe it was two years already since the woman left with biding her a proper goodbye.

She smiled sadly, wiping the drop of tears which came of from the corner of her eyes.

When she unlocked the phone,her home screen wallpaper is a picture of she and Anastasia,she smiled sadly yet again as she rubbed the tip of her finger on Anastasia’s face.

“How have you been bestie? Hope you didn’t cry much when I died? Sadly we can’t meet,even though I was back! Valerie Armstrong is dead and this is Amelia Hayes”She muttered inaudibly as her finger’s ran through Anastasia’s face.

She was suddenly disrupted by the informance of the chaffeuer that they have arrived her location.

She alighted from the cab and paid the driver,her luggages was retrieved from the car trunk as the cab speed off afterwards.

Valerie pulled her luggage till she got to the front door, slipping her hand inside her pulse she brought out the key and opened the door, sauntering in instantly.

Her eyes roamed round the four corners of the room as she sat on the couch,her mind quickly flashing back to the pains she experienced in the city.

Coming back to the city brought back painful memories,one which needed to be forgotten but she’s here for a purpose and once she’s done, she’d disappear without leaving a trace behind.

She stood up, heading upstairs with her luggage afterwards.

^KINGS GROUP OF COMPANY^

“Jeez Boss! Sir Lucas have done it”Marco muttered beside Vincenzo who was stroding into his office, thereby getting his attention with his statement.

“What did Lucas do?”Not sparing him a glance, Vincenzo asked and Marco took his bottom lips in.

“He still went ahead and made a post about a secretary needed”He blurted out in a low tone,his voice barely above a whisper and shocked Vincenzo gasped out loud,his eyes narrowing greatly at what he Heard.

“And he made the post specifically for females and……”Marco was still talking when Vincenzo grabbed the phone from him and his eyes widened at what he saw,his eyes was about popping out of their sockets.

The comments under the post was increasing greatly and Lucas added the date and time for the interview,fúck! Did he really have to go to that extent?

Vincenzo threw the phone back at Marco as he slipped his hands into his pocket, pulling out his phone before sitting down on his swivel chair.

He dialed Lucas number at once, his eyes blazing with fury as his jaw hardened on its own.

^ROAD^

Lucas was driving to their agency,he have a $h00t to catch up with and he was late already, being the party and club freak he was,a loud music was popping in his car as he hyped to the music,a smirk on the corner of his lips as he rapped with the artist.

His happiness was short-lived when his phone began ringing and he frowned,as the call had interrupted his fun.

He sighed as he connected his bud.

*Fúcking delete the post right now*

Came Vincenzo’s angry voice the moment Lucas picked up the call and Lucas smirked,a naughty grin dancing at the corner of his grim lips.

*I won’t*

He replied bluntly and Vincenzo scoffed loudly from the other end.

*If you’re not deleting the post,I won’t go to the office on the fúcking day of the lame interview*

Vincenzo thr_@tened and that only made the smirk on Lucas’s lips to grow deeper, it’ll be Nice if he don’t come, he’d be the one to handle the interview and he’d make sure to select one of the prettiest and segziest female present for his secretary. d@mn!

He chuckled as be gave him a reply.

*Your choice dude, I’d be the acting president in your absence*

He smirked and Vincenzo angrily ended the call, making Lucas laugh out loud as he hit his hand on the steering wheel,his laughter intensifying as he imagined how Vincenzo’s face would look.

^VALERIE’S APARTMENT^

Coming out from the bathroom while dripping wet, Valerie sauntered towards the table as she grabbed her phone, sitting on the bed as she logged into her IG account.

A slow smirk crept the corner of her Lips when she saw Lucas’s recent update, surprisingly she’s been following him for a while.

She clicked on the comment section and she smirked deeper when she saw Vincenzo’s comment,it actually wasn’t a comment but an angry emoji which he commented with.

She clicked on his handle,she began going through his post and her eyes kept turning darker and darker.

She suddenly tossed her phone away the moment she remembered how Vincenzo took her innocence, tortured her brutally,forced her to smoke,the constant hitting and the hundred strokes of whip he gave her,and to think she went all through this hell for one person who’s no longer alive,all her pains was bullshit.

All this added to her hatred for him as she stood up, tears rushing down her cheeks as her jaw hardened.

“Be ready to accept me as your worst nightmare, Diego!” She muttered with teary eyes,her voice laced with deep Hatred and her eyes filled with resentment,just for him.

^MA ISLA’S HOUSE^

Coming out from the kitchen,she was met with shock as Sapphire ran to her in Joy, beaming in all smiles as her face glowed meaningfully.

“I passed the scholarship exam Mom! I did” She rushed to the woman with a smile, embracing her in a tight hug.

Actually,she left few hours ago to go check for the results at the cyber cafe,since she has no phone at the moment, going to the Cyber cafe was the only option Left.

Even as she went there with Isabella,she couldn’t control the nervousness which was coursing through her veins as she prayed inwardly to succeed and indeed, her prayer was granted.

Out of the 50 students who sat for the scholarship exam, only four succeeded which she and Isabella was among,her joy knew no bound as she rushed back to the house to announce her success to her Mom.

“Congratulations baby!”Ma Isla gushed, hugging Sapphire back as tears of joy slipped from her eyes.

“I can’t believe I’d be going to the university Mom, this is like a dream come true for me. Dad will be proud of me wherever he is now”With voice laced with emotions,she blurted out and ma Isla smiled, stroking her hair.

“You did well sap,keep making me proud”She uttered, not breaking the hug.

^FAST FORWARD TO THE DAY OF THE INTERVIEW ^

Valerie exhaled as she looked up to the huge company before her.

She just got down from the cab and more people were still flooding the company just for a single position?

Her chances in getting the job is slim but that doesn’t mean she’d give up without trying! Giving up is never her thing, so she’s not ready to do that.

Just as she was about walking inside the company,she was pushed roughly by a bitter Lady which made her almost lost her balance.

“?îtçh! Get the fúck outta my way”Scarlet scoffed, glaring Hard at Valerie who smirked without uttering a word to her, scarlet rolled eye and rushed into the company.

“She’d always be bitter! How pathetic”Valerie shook Head as she walked in,she met the receptionist who directed her where the interview was taking place and she hurriedly dashed out.

Valerie’s mouth hanged open in shock as he couldn’t believe the number of females lined up at the front of Vincenzo’s office, waiting to be interviewed.

They were more than hundred and only a single posting was needed? She shook her head as she sat down, not bothering to join the line.

Meanwhile, inside Vincenzo’s office…. He hasn’t called any single soul inside for the interview,he did say he wasn’t going to come but how can he leave Lucas to handle this?

He turned to Lucas who was sitting beside him, $h00ting lasers at him but Lucas only shrugged, grabbing his phone as he made to call the first person in.

“Hold on Lucas,why are you bent on getting me a secretary? Why do y’all make me look pathetic? I sent everyone away because I could handle all,what are you taking me for?”He grunted and Lucas smirked, patting his shoulder.

“You’re 27 dude, you’re not getting younger are you?”He quired, making Vincenzo scoff loudly.

“And I’d date my secretary of all things? Ewww! That’s disgusting”He rolled eye.

“I can’t wait for a crazy office romance between you and your secretary. I wonder who the lucky charm is!”He gushed and Vincenzo drove his fingers into his hair, pulling it in annoyance.

Lucas won’t be the end of him.

Lucas called in the first girl who walked in,a Bible was in her hand and her dressing was like that of a nun.

“Lucas,is she here to preach the gospel?”Vincenzo blurted out unbelievably and it took Lucas all his self control not to burst out laughing,how can some girls be silly and uneducated?

Coming to an interview dressed like a nun with a Bible In her hand? This obviously is not the kind of personality he wants for his friend.

He shook head as he stretched his hand forth to the girl.

“Your credentials please”He uttered grimly and the girl smiled, making Lucas and Vincenzo exchanged glances.

“According to psalm 1,it is said that blessed is the man who fears the Lord! I know you’re a fearful man and that’s why the lord has blessed you, making you prosper in all that you does. Give me the opportunity to be your secretary and we’d add our faith together…. You’d see yourself achieving more greater heights because where two or More is……”

“Fúcking stop talking”Came Vincenzo’s Deep voice as she cut the lady off, making her shriek fearfully,his voice was laced with so much authority and commanding Aura that the lady began panicking hard, not being able to stare at his face.

“Now turn around, and get Lost”Yet again,he ordered deeply and the lady turned in a swift move, running out of the office with tears.

“$h|t! I can’t do this Lucas”Vincenzo stood up,but Lucas grabbed him pulling him back to his seat.

“We still have more than hundred of them outside,so chill. We’re getting you a secretary today”Lucas assured with a smile, making Vincenzo scoffed.

Another Lady was called in but she was dismissed almost immediately because of her unkempt hair and how dirty she was.

Vincenzo was slowly loosing it as more of the Ladies kept flooding his office, leaving just the same way they came because of one reason or the other.

Dirty clothes, unkempt hair,too tall,too short…. Some of the reasons wasn’t even valid.

No matter how hard Lucas tried protesting, Vincenzo discharged them off either willingly or with the help of the securities.

Scarlet walked in next,a smile on her face while she held her shoulder up with a proud smile,of course she’d definitely be chosen! Who’s more prettier than her? No one! And besides, she’ve worked for the devil so only she could handle him,she thought with a smile, finally standing before the two.

She bowed respectfully with a smile and a Deep frown settled on Lucas face as he glared daggers at her.

His mind quickly went back to two years ago,the day Valerie was found unconscious in the torture room all thanks to the female devil who refused to serve Valerie her meal.

Deep anger and hatred coursed through his vein,it was because of her that Anastasia is still bitter about Valerie’s dismiss.

“Here is my…..”

“Get Lost!”Lucas snapped at her, making her widen her eyes in shock as she felt her word crumbling before her.

“Huh…. Huh? Sir Lucas”She shuttered as she felt intense heat on her skin,her throat running dry instantly.

“Securities!”Lucas shouted and four of them trooped in.

“Bundle this piece of trash outta here!”He commanded and scarlet was jerked off the floor as she kept begging and pleading to be heard.

All through, Vincenzo uttered no way as he stared at Lucas in awe,not believing that he could react like that.

“Next!”Lucas breathed,and the door flung open in a slow motion as Valerie walked in,her long hair flowing behind her and her bewitching smile on her face.

Lucas’s mouth flew open in shock as he stared at the Angel who was walking into the office.

Valerie tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as she lifted her gaze to Lucas,the extraordinary smile on her face not fading for once.

“I’ve found her,the perfect one for my friend”Came Lucas’s voice as he found himself swept off his feet, admiring the beauty queen before him and Vincenzo snapped his gaze at Lucas,not understanding what he meant by…. “The perfect one for him!”

Valerie finally walked up to them and bowed shortly.

“I’m Amelia Hayes”She replied, passing her credentials to Lucas and instead of accepting the files from her, Lucas pushed his hand forward, grabbing Valerie’s hand in a warm handshake.

“Congratulations Amelia Hayes! You’re hired”He blurted out with a smile.

“What?”Vincenzo stood with wide eye.
