Chapter 4 - Wasteful
Chloe Cage
I'm sorry that you feel that way, Sir. But I'd reconsider.
Chloe Cage
Have you looked at the programming data? Ever since I arrived last week, the efficiency of the group has increased by a factor of 134%, and the accuracy has increased by 67%. All of those stats are in the email that I had sent you every morning as a daily report, which you likely discarded to your leisure.
Chloe Cage
Has the CEO even evaluated my performance before firing me? I can assure you, I'm perfectly capable-
Liam Nightly
I don't care what your capabilities are. I hate women. They whine and become emotional. I don't need someone like that as my head programmer.
I smiled, not wavering my expression.
My eyes then became sharp, making him flinch.
Chloe Cage
... you scared of me, Sir?
My gaze was challenging, and even his assistant seemed fazed by it. The man who thought that no one could touch him suddenly feels the pressure of a challenge. How is he going to react?
Liam Nightly
Is what she says true?
Prescott
The programming team has been efficient since Miss Cage's arrival. They've finished seven days ahead of schedule.
Chloe Cage
I've come to give you the write up of our newest program. May I retire to my work station, CEO Nightly?
I placed the write up into Prescott's hands who brought it over.
He said nothing and I nodded, turning around and leaving.
Prescott
Sir, you aren't actually going to fire her.
Liam Nightly
Her gaze... it bothers me.
Prescott
Bothers you? How so, Sir?
Liam Nightly
That girl... has not a shred of happiness inside of her. She's like a juiced lemon.
Prescott
A j-juiced lemon, Sir?
He sighed and looked at the report.
Liam Nightly
We never got reports of this quality before from our programming team.
Prescott gasped. Never before had his boss complimented anyone. He never even complimented himself.
Days past by and sometimes, I'd meet his gaze through a glass wall while he descended in the elevator or past me in the corridor.
We'd challenge each other and then, once we past each other, we gave ourselves a satisfying smirk. His sent chills down the people he past's spines.
However, our relationship drastically changed that one eventful day.
It was Christmas and per usual, I could not be bothered with it.
Such a depressing holiday where someone who has no family has to watch others hug and cuddle theirs.
The company organised a company party and for once, the CEO was actually going to be attending.
After a long day of work, after getting changed into a cute white cocktail dress, I found Maven in the programming room, coding.
Maven Jacobs
Oh, Chloe, it's just...
Immediately, his breath was taken away when he saw me. My beautiful dress and my stylish hairstyle made him blush.
Chloe Cage
Do I look cute~?
Maven Jacobs
Y-Yeah... you do.
Chloe Cage
So, whatcha doing?
He quickly covered his screen.
Maven Jacobs
Nothing! Nothing at all.
Chloe Cage
The top 10 destinations to take your girlfriend on Christmas. Oh, I didn't know that you were that kind of a romantic, Maven!
Maven Jacobs
I don't have a girlfriend!
Chloe Cage
So, why are you looking up places like that?
He frowned and then looked at me, blushing.
Maven Jacobs
W-Would you... like to go somewhere with me during our three days off?
Does our little big brother Maven have a crush on our Chloe?
