Chapter 43- Rich Spoilt Brat
" Good morning Sir," I greeted with a smile as soon as he walked into the office.
He stopped and turned to me whispering ' my love,' before walking to his office. I couldn't help but chuckle, he was behaving like a love-sick teenager.
I went to his office to give him the schedule of the day and quickly ran out when he was about to hold me, he kept forgetting that this was the office and we had an agreement.
Today was going to be a hectic day because we had about two more days before the company's annual ball. It was an event where the company brought all the staff, shareholders, and anyone important to the company to celebrate. I had already sent out invitations, the only thing I needed to do was to make sure that the event center was perfect. I had gone there some days ago to check the place but I needed to check again in case I missed something.
I couldn't risk making any mistakes that would put me in a lot of trouble. Cole didn't need me for anything else so it was the perfect time for me to go.
I took my bag and walked to his office then I knocked. I know he said I could enter his office without knocking but I was just used to knocking before entering any room, it's common courtesy.
" You look like you're going somewhere," He asked,
" Yeah, I have to be at the event center for the annual ball," I told him as I sat on the chair in front of him.
" What? You're leaving me all alone?" He asked and I laughed, he sounded like a child.
" Are you forgetting I'm a secretary to one of the richest men in Texas and as his secretary, I've got a lot of things to do, my boss wouldn't be pleased to find me sitting when I'm supposed to be working, so my dear friend I've gotta go,"
" Are you talking about me?" He asked as he wiggled his brows at me as I rose from the chair I was sitting in.
" Nah, my boss is way hotter than you," I said with a smile before picking up my bag and getting ready to walk out.
" You do realize I'm that boss right?" He was beginning to sound jealous of himself, did that even make sense?
" Bye, I've got places to be," I turned away from him as I heard him mumbling something but I didn't get what he was saying.
I walked to the door, my hand touched the doorknob, and was about to open the door but his words stopped me.
" Damn, you're so fine, tell them you have a boyfriend okay, any of those guys that come near you," I couldn't help but laugh before I opened the door and walked out.

I parked my car in front of the hotel, it was a five-star hotel and we were going to be using one of their halls for the event and it was quite a big hall.
I gave my car key to the valet and I walked into the hotel. I was led to the hall by one of the staff, the event planner was already waiting for me and everything was already set, but just to make sure nothing was missing that was why I was here.
" Hello Miss Fredrick, so nice to see you again," The event planner said as soon as she saw me.
" Hello, you've done such a wonderful job here,"
" I'm glad you like it," She said
" Like, I love it, let's hope everyone can see how much effort you put into making this place look so amazing,"
" Thank you so much,"
" What is this?! This is so awful!" I suddenly heard a female voice say and I turned to the entrance to see a lady with black hair dressed in a short tight dress looking around the hall with disgust.
" Who is in charge here?! Where's the event planner?" She asked as she walked to us.
" That would be me," Becky said as she walked to her.
" Are you serious? How does this hall look to you? Is this the best you can come up with?" What was she talking about because this hall was just perfect, the decorations and everything were on point, and just who the hell was she?
" Miss Frederick says it's fine," Becky said as she turned to me as if asking me to save her. Did she know who this woman was?
" I don't care what Miss Frog or Miss whatever says, I want the entire decoration change to give me something worth looking at," Excuse me, I'm going to ignore the fact that she called me Miss Frog, we had two days to the event and the event planner and her team have spent a whole week making sure everything was perfect then some lady just walked in and say it isn't to her liking, you've gotta be kidding me.
" Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude but who are you?" I asked her and it seems my question offended her because she looked like she expected me to know her.
" I am the co-host of the ball coming up in two days and this rubbish you guys are showing me isn't what I expected to see here," Well, if she had made this useless complaint some days ago we would have considered some adjustments but not today, it's too late.
" I'm sorry but I don't think we can make any changes," I said to her with my chin held high, she thought she could intimidate me, she looked like one of those rich spoilt girls.
" And who are you to say that? Why am I even wasting my time with lowlifes like you, of course, how wouldn't you accept something cheap and ordinary when that's what you're used to, you have no eye for good and expensive things," Okay she was definitely trying to insult me.
" I don't understand the reason for the fuss ma'am but I don't think anything is wrong with this hall or the decorations,"
" Are you saying I've got bad taste,"
" It might just be the case,"
" How dare you?!" I didn't expect it, I didn't see it coming, I just felt a slap on my face, I heard Becky gasp as my inside boiled with anger.
" You stupid bitch, I'm not going to repeat myself, I want everything taken down this instance,"
