Chapter 197 : Arrogant Boss


    “Lira, why do you need to resign?” Thomas, Lira’s boss was very disappointed when Lira gave him her


    resignation letter personally. “You are our top agent.” When Lira came to hispany their sales


    ie had doubled up. “How about this, I will double your pay. I will give you some time to think it over


    again. Will you?” One could easily tell that he didn’t want to let go of Lira.


    “I’m sorry Thomas, my decision is already final.” Lira stood up for her resignation as she remembered


    her conversation with Damien over the phone.


    “Lira, do this for me please,” Damien begged at her.


    “Why me?” Lira asked confused.


    “You can only be my eyes in Bill Sky’s office. When you’re going to be her assistant, you can also


    protect her. I’m sure she’s eyeing you to her assistant. So, when she calls you, please ept the job.”


    Arabe had mentioned Damien about her assistant. It would be a great relief if there’s someone who


    could report to him about Arabe’s daily movement.


    “Damien,” Lira was puzzled as she had to decide abruptly.


    “Please. I’ll owe you this one.” Damien’s tone was begging.


    Hearing Damien''s begging, Lira could not say no. She wanted to ease him and wanted to make him


    happy.


    “Okay.” She answered with a cheerful tone.


    “Yes!” Damien happily replied.


    “What about John?” Thomas asked making Lira regain her senses. “Did he know about your


    resignation?” John and Lira were inseparable at work. Their partnership was outstanding and made a


    great contribution to thepany. Their office even thought that they were a couple.


    “I will tell him,” Lira answered. Admittedly, she felt sad as the people there were already part of her


    everyday life. “Rest assured, I will have a smooth turn-over. Thank you for everything, Thomas.” Lira


    bowed to show her gratitude.


    Instead of replying Thomas nodded. He was out of words to convince her and his expression, he had


    lost some precious gem in hispany.


    Lira went out of Thoma’s office but she stopped after closing the door. John was standing outside. He


    seemed to wait there a long time for her.


    His expression was already gloomy. “What happened? Did I hear it correctly? You are resigning?” John


    bombarded Lira with questions. He couldn’t believe Lira’s sudden decision as she never talked about it


    with him.


    Lira strode closer to John trying to cheer up him a little bit.


    “Yes, John.” She spoke. “I am resigning,” Lira confirmed. She felt a bit guilty about her sudden


    decision. John was always good to her. He never left her as he promised from the beginning. He was


    always there to assist her and cheer her up every time she was not in a good mood especially when


    she came to Capital Z with him. It was a sudden decision to erase the love she felt for Damien. It was


    very hard for her trying to forget the love she had and the people who had be her family. Her life


    went easy with John. She couldn’t imagine her life in Capital Z without him.


    “Why?” John asked. His expression was uneasy.


    “Arabe, she needs me to work for her in Sky Corporation,” Lira answered feeling sorry for her friend.


    John was still felt gloomy as he was trying to understand Lira.


    "Familyes first.” He nodded. “What about us?” John suddenly asked.


    Lira was startled. She didn’t know what to say. John confessed to her but she didn’t take it seriously for


    she only had one person in her heart. Ever since it was always Damien.


    “We remained friends, of course.” Lira put on a smile to shake away the awkwardness.


    She could see John’s expression became gloomier.


    “We can still hang out sometimes.” She said to lighten him up a bit.


    Hearing her, John smiled hopefully. He nodded. “Promise?”


    “Promise.” Lira hugged him.


    Her first andst goodbye for John.


    At Sky Corporation.


    Arabe was petrified by the sight of a man who was sitting on her chair. She felt she had to say


    something quickly to cover her nervousness.


    “Mr. Sky, what are you doing here? Do you need anything?” She put on her sweetest smile though her


    lips shivered.


    Bill ran his fingers on the table repeatedly. His sharp eyes bore to hers.


    Arabe stood still trying her best not to break down.


    Bill stood up. Her heart pumped so fast. He strode closer to her.


    His sharp stare was not leaving her. She felt that he was going to swallow her in whole.


    “First day of work and you defy me.” Finally, he spoke ring at her.


    “Oh! I just took my lunch break boss.” She exined with cross fingers at her back.


    “Don’t!” Bill’s eyes darkened as his voice got loud pointing at her.


    Arabe rattled with his loud angry voice. She couldn’t react faster than she thought. Then she lowered


    her head feeling wronged.


    Did he send someone to spy on her? She could not even hide anything from him.


    He would not be Bill Sky if someone could easily deceive him. It seemed his game was a tough one.


    He had all eyes on her. He even kept her on his side.


    That’s how he ys.


    So very Bill Sky.


    With a heavy expression, Bill walked around her. “You know what I hated the most?” He asked with


    sarcasm. Then he finally stopped in front to see her face.


    “You have a beautiful face.” Heplimented seriously. “Liars!” He answered his question with an


    indignant tone.


    “I’m sorry, Mr. Sky. It won’t happy again. I will not leave again without your permission.” She swore in


    the air with her hand lifted to show her sincerity.


    Bill studied her as his eyes dug deeply into hers.


    “Prepare my lunch.” Bill suddenly ordered. Arabe secretly heaved a sigh of relief.


    Is she just thinking too much?


    Is this why he got so angry with her because he hadn’t eaten his lunch?


    He was mad at her because he was hungry.


    “Right away, Mr. Sky.” She quickly answered trying to escape from his drowning stare.


    Bill went back to his office. He lost the track of time when he started working.


    To make up her lies, Arabe prepared a healthy delicious lunch for him. He stopped his work and eat


    silently without giving her a stare. She felt relieved and forgiven seeing him enjoying his food.


    She smiled secretly at her achievement for today.


    Not everyone could escape her fate, especially when dealing with Bill Sky.


    “What’s my schedule for tonight?” Bill suddenly asked while his fingers browsing the screen of his


    tablet. He was really a busy man. She could see work for him is his life.


    “Your meeting would end at 6 pm. After that, nothing follows.” Arabe answered carefully scanning her


    cellphone for his appointments.


    Bill didn’t answer. His attention was merely focused on his digital pad.


    “If you don’t need anything. May I take my leave?” Arabe sounded. His presence always made her


    nervous but she knew she had to ovee it sooner or she could not proceed with her n.


    “Hmmm…” Bill answered without giving her a single nce.


    Arabe quickly went out. She gathered all air she needed that she held inside his office.


    Then she entered her office and called Lira.


    “Ms. J. I’m happy you called.” Lira greeted her with a cheerful tone.


    “Me too,” Arabe answered. “Here’s the thing. I want to offer you work. That if you are interested.” She


    added. When Bill said she would have an assistant, she could only think of Lira. She was someone she


    had trusted and she was satisfied with her working ethics but of course, it was still up to Lira if she


    would ept the job. About thepensation, Arabe was sure that there’s no otherpany that


    offered great pay aside from Sky Corporation. Aside from that, everyone wanted to work in Sky


    Corporation. That’s everyone’s dream job after they graduated but unfortunately, only those who


    surpassed their high standards got employed. Thinking about this, Arabe knew that it was a good


    advantage to level up Lira’s career.


    “I am very much interested, Ms. J, and thank you very much that you considered me.” Lira cheerfully


    answered. She didn’t mention Damien’s earlier request to Arabe as Damien wanted it to be discreet.


    “What are you talking about?” Arabe asked with a littleugh. “Of course. You are my friend, Lira,


    and will always be. Remember, friends will always help each other.” Arabe uttered sincerely.


    Lira was like hit by lightning. Her conscience knocked her off. Arabe was always good to her. She


    never treated her as her employee but was always a friend. A family. However, she could not also


    betray Damien. Ever since Damien came back to her life, her love for him got deeper that she could not


    hold it anymore. Though she knew Damien was just using her, literally her body and will, she allowed it

    if that what it takes to be useful and be closer to him.


    “I’m so full of gratitude, Ms. J.” Lira expressed suppressing her guilt.


    “I’ll see you tomorrow then.” Arabe ended the conversation and put down her phone only to see the


    direction of Bill.


    He was looking at her.


    Arabe fixed herself and smile at him then she pretended that she was working on something.


    What was he thinking?


    Then herndline rang. Looking at Bill, she quickly answered. Her boss was calling.


    “Yes, Mr. Sky.” Her sweet voice came out.


    “I told you to focus on me. Didn''t I make myself clear?” Bill uttered arrogantly.


    “I am,” Arabe defended looking at Bill on the ss wall. Bill’s eyes were also glued at her.


    “You are talking on your phone for 30 minutes and you are telling me that your focus is on me?” Bill’s


    tone was possessive.


    “Oh!” Arabe was stunned. So that means he was looking at her for 30 minutes and more already.


    Just when she thought that he was a very busy man but she had his attention. “Mr. Sky, I was talking to


    my new assistant.” She felt that she had to give him an exnation otherwise everything would turn


    into a great catastrophe.


    “Hmmm…” He just muttered. “Do I need to remind you of my schedule?” He then bombarded her.


    Arabe’s annoyance got aroused. If only Bill was in front of her, she would punch him for being so


    arrogant. Why couldn’t admit that he wronged her? Instead, he made her feel wrong.


    What a man of arrogance!


    “Oh! I’m sorry, Mr. Sky.” She quickly uttered. “You have to leave now for your meeting with Mr. Nemis.”


    She added quickly and dropped the call. She got the materials that Bill needed to bring with him to the


    meeting and quickly ran inside his office.


    “Here. I’m sorry.” She put the folders on his table.


    Bill stood up in front of her. “Can you tell me how many sorry you had used for today?” Bill frowned


    while looking at her impatiently.


    Arabe could not breathe with him around plus his expression towards her was unmanageable.


    She put on her sweetest smile again. “I hope I didn’t offend you that much, Mr. Sky. You know it’s my


    first day. I am not used to working in an office and having a very bossy arrogant boss.” Thest part of


    her sentence was just in her mind but she unconsciously blurted it out.


    Toote for her to take it back.


    Bill stood still. His eyes flickered. It made her heart skip a beat.


    “Bossy arrogant boss?” Bill walked closer to her wearing great displeasure.


    Run Arabe run!


    As Bill was approaching her, she wanted to hide somewhere where he could not find her forever.


    “Sorry, I didn’t…” Arabe was trying to correct her words before he could kill her but it was really too


    Bill suddenly held her waist tight and lifted her body. He put her on his table and tilted her body with his


    own.


    His strong arms were supporting them. His eyes were sharply scrutinizing her face.


    Arabe couldn’t find her breathe. She felt like she was going to die in suffocation.


    She put her hands on the table for her support but something came up to her mind. Her arms traveled


    and wrapped around his neck.


    She was ready to y with fire.


    Bill seemed to be pleased with her action. His expression lightened as his eyesnded on her lips and


    back to her eyes.


    She could feel his desire.


    Arabe closed her eyes waiting for him to initiate a wild kiss. She was so sure about it judging by his


    sexy expression.


    She could feel Bill was getting closer to her as his muscr body pressed her.


    She made her mind and self ready for it.


    1 second… 2 seconds… 3 seconds…


    “What are you doing?” Bill’s sarcastic voice came out in the air.


    Arabe quickly opened her eyes to see Bill’s mocking face. She blushed.


    “Let’s go.” He ordered firmly.


    Arabe couldn’t help to wish that the ground would open and instantly swallowed her.


    That would save her in such embarrassment.


    At Spiral Restaurant.


    The meeting had quickly ended. Bill decided to eat their dinner there before going home. They eat in


    silence until someone appeared in front of them.


    “It’s my utmost pleasure to greet the noblest man and most beautiful woman here in Capital Z.” Eric


    Grant was standing in a good shape and greeted them professionally. His eyes were fixated on


    Arabe.
