~ Chapter 2 ~
Opening her eyes, ariel groaned as the sunlight hit her eyes "close it back, please" she tossed around the bed eyes still closed when the bed cover was suddenly yanked off from her body,she gasped opening her eyes and was surprised at who she saw
" Lee when did you get in here, how come I didn't hear you coming" she questioned stressing the last part receiving a glare from Leonardo which was suddenly replaced with a wide grin "well I came in here while you were snoring your soul out and secondly I think he already left for work" rolling his eyes at her
"oh,he left already" she muttered but he heard her " seriously are you gonna sulk up again, geeze Ellie" he sighed frustratedly "sorry it's not my fault, he just left like that, at least he could have woke me up" she said pouting her lips and he ruffled her hair "maybe he didn't want to wake you from your sleep" he coaxed and she nodded when suddenly she jumped away from the bed, her sudden action scared him, "what's wrong, why the serious face all of a sudden", she just walked past him without replying but was silently cursing under her breath and entered the bathroom
"seriously" he scoffed, after some minutes she came out with a towel wrapped around her body, "why are you suddenly in a hurry, where are you going" Leonardo walked towards her grabbing her arm "talk to me Ellie what's happening" he asked looking straight into her eyes, "ah, nothing ok , nothing's happening" ,she winned trying to get away from his grip which seems impossible "just stop pestering me I'm already late for work that's all thanks to put you"she said when he released his grip from her
"You've started working, how come I didn't know about this" he stared at her with a murderous look, "don't look at me like that" she said seeing his expression from the mirror, fine I know I should have told you I was job hunting for a while but, I just did that so that I won't be a burden to you, you know, always asking for your help always , and I started working yesterday, though it was unexpected but i love this new job"she beamed trying to explain things to him
"At least you should have told me" he said as he made his way downstairs "I'm so sorry lee" she shouted from behind
Minutes later she was downstairs,the dining table already set with food, 'tempting but no "she said to herself before turning to Leonardo "I'm sorry lee but I think I'll skip breakfast I'm already late now" " you're skipping my breakfast because of a new job, wow, great"
sensing that he was already angry she slowly hugged him from behind "I'm sorry lee but I'm really late for work can you let this one slide just for me, pretty please"she begged acting all cute "ok" he turned her to face him "only on one condition" he siad grining like a wild cat"what condition, i don't trust you " before she could move away from him,he pecked her cheeks, furiously she punched his chest and he groaned in pain
"that hurts, my heart, ah" he cried playfully " well if you hadn't pull that stupid trick maybe i wouldn't have done that"she said rolling her eyes
"seriously,maybe?,what were you planning to do to me "he asked backing away from her," can you stop being a drama queen for a second "she groaned "I have to go now, bye"she left the house before he can say anything and a frown formed instantly on his face
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Shit I'm late, I'm late" Ariel kept on muttering to herself praying no one would see her as she made her way to the elevator when suddenly a hand gripped her shoulder and a tiny scream came out from her "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to scare you"a gentle voice apologized
" blondie" she sighed as she saw who it was, "did you just call me blondie" his voice changed almost to that of robert "shit i said that out loud" she mumbled to herself trying to thing of something to please him immediately but was shocked with his sudden out burst of laughter "I'm really sorry" he said admits laughter" what's happening" she said to herself" after what seemed like a whole day, he calmed down
"I'm Deren Gillian, Mr Mendez P.A" he said stretching his hands forward for an handshake which she took "Ariel Hemsworth" she said shaking his hand " nice to finally talk to you miss ariel,it's an honor to speak with a beautiful lady like you "he complimented and winked at her which made ariel blush to his sweet word, "is he flirting with me, gosh"
"I assume you are heading to your office"he said and she nodded in response " ok then, I hope you don't mind we going together,i have actually going to repot some documents to mr Mendez"he suggested " no, no,that not a problem at all" she said flashing him a bright smile as they both entered the elevator
"So you're the new secretary huh",he stated "and I'm guessing you know nothing about Mr Mendez, or do you"he asked staring at her " no" she responded solemy "I did even know he was the boss to begin with" she said with a sigh " maybe you can tell me a little important detail about him like his does and don't "
" Well Mr Mendez is a nice boss who always treats his workers evenly, about his does and don't well you'll get to know those very soon" he replied with a wide grin leaving her confused "what do you mean by that, aren't you going to give me an heads-up, like seriously Deren "her confused face already replaced with a frown "well ,what I'm trying to say is that Mr Mendez is ... Uhm.. how will I put this" , trying to look for the right words, ariel just stared at him looking more confused and scared than before "he's more of a complicated guy" he finally landed " but don't get me wrong, he's a nice guy if you understand him well" he flashed her a smile and the elevator made a ding sound as it's doors opened and he walked out leaving her lost in her thoughts,"Ah, forget it"she sighed before making her way to her office
putting all her focus in her work , she didn't realize when robert walked towards her desk , it took some minutes for her to realize someone was staring at her, she was shocked to see Robert there,"when did he get here ,did i do something wrong ,oh gwad"she siad to herself ,her heart beating out of her chest,she quickly got on her feet "I'm really sorry sir , i had no idea you were here, please forgive me " she apologized,her body shaking slightly with the fear he might get angry, but his next action shocked her as he just walked past her and went for the door, "ok, so he didn't yell at me which was a good thing,phew "she said to herself,but noticed he stopped at the door "prepare we have a meeting to attend two minutes from now"he announced," meet me downstairs when you're done" "two minutes, why didn't he inform me earlier, shit"she said to no one in particular as she quickly arranged her files and went after him
"I'm here ,we can go now sir"she said immediately she got to him but was surprised to see him with a lady "wow she's pretty "she commented on the lady's beauty " and who the fuck are you " the lady barked at her like they were sworn enemies,the disgust in her tone could not be hidden
Ariel as about to speak but Robert beat her to that "she my new secretary,is there a problem with that" he asked,from his tone one can guess he was provoked
"Hmph, secretary you say huh,well I don't like her "she replied bluntly," she's nore like a home wrecker than a secretary"she said straight forwardly scanning ariel from head to toe,
"That's enough Lisa"Robert said his cold face even colder " I'm really sorry babe, please don't be mad,i didn't come all the way from france to make you mad"she said pouting her lips as she pecked his cheeks"I don't have time for this Lisa I've got a meeting to attend, we'll talk later" he ignored her and walked off " but babe, seriously are you going to treat me this way in front of this bitch"she said eying ariel
" Fine,you can wait for me in my office,I'll be back soon" he just siad that so she can let go of him "ok,babe, I'll be waiting" she pecked his cheeks as she cat walked away
"And here I am thinking she was a beauty, yea, beauty without brains"ariel mumbled under her breath as she left with Robert
