Chapter 17_ Bad boy 1

Lyra stood in front of the proud building before her, she clutched her file and purse as she stepped into the building.

She walked with confidence and pride, some of the employees stopped by the way to admire the goddess of beauty that just walked in.

Her eyes darted around wondering where to go next, she was new here and Brian didn't tell her where her assigned office will be.

Lyra also noticed something about the female employees here, everyone of them wore skimpy dress, none of them had their skirts reaching their knees.

She was the only one putting on longer skirts among them, "why are they all dressed up like this is a clubhouse?" she mumbled.

She stopped in front of the elevator, wondering what floor she should go to, she continuously pushed the elevator button.

"relax it will be here soon". Lyra heard someone behind her, she turned to see who it was.

A young man smiled at her. "oh hi" lyra smiled back. she saw him stare at her from her head to her feet. "you are new here" he casually said to receive a nod from lyra.

Bernard extended his which she took without hesitating " Bernard". Lyra suddenly felt giddy his palm was warm, a blush crept up on her pretty face. "I'm lyra, it's a pleasure meeting you".

Both of them stared awkwardly at each other, the beeping sound of the elevator broke them from their short reverie.

"it's here" lyra simply stated stepping in while Bernard follows suit.

The elevator doors closed slowly, "umm which floor are you heading to" Bernard asked .

Lyra let out a long sigh "I really don't know, but tell me which floor does Mr Wilson stay at?".

Bernard felt taken aback by her question " the twentieth floor". Bernard answered. lyra knew what he was thinking at that moment. "no don't get me wrong I'm his new personal assistant" lyra cleared herself up.

Bernard's phone beeped, " we are having a meeting now, we are two minutes late the boss would be very upset" Bernard said.

Lyra bursted out into laughter seeing the worry etched on his face. Bernard stared weirdly at her, "come on now, don't tell me you are scared of Brian, he can't even harm a fly" lyra casually stated.

Bernard was a bit shocked hearing her address him casually. He couldn't blame her since it was her first day here.

When the elevator's doors opened Bernard was the first to get out, while lyra tailed after him.

Meanwhile......

Racheal just came out of the shower, she proceeded to the closet picking out her clothes, when she was fully dressed she went to the living area of their apartment to blow dry her hair.

Humming a tune she turned on the hair dryer blowing her hair, she suddenly felt a chill gaze behind her and turned back, in the next second she fell off the chair.

Racheal was frightened to the core, how did he get in?. Aidan sat still on the sofa with his legs crossed, his fingers tapping the chair following a particular tune.

"how.....did..you get in?" Racheal moved back a little, Aidan remained quiet for a while before he picked up a file from the table.

"How did you know that my uncle was planning to kill me?" Aidan simply asked going through the file.

Racheal held unto the hair dryer like it was her life, "ummm.... well I overheard him speaking to someone on the phone at the balcony" Racheal replied trembling, of all houses to visit why did he visit hers.

Aidan's eyes scrolled down the file he was holding "And?" he questioned to see her face crumple in confusion.

"that's all" she said.

Aidan threw the file he was holding at her " you know who I am in the day and at nights and trust me I don't like to miss those two personalities of mine" Aidan explained while Racheal scanned through the file.

" you want to hire me?" she questioned, now that she knows who he really is she doubts if she could ever work for him.

"No I'm not interested" she added firmly closing the file. Aidan's eyes darkened sending fear into her whole body.

"then I think your friend will have to be punished for your stupidity" Aidan barked angrily at her.

Racheal blinked severally, "what crime have my friend and I committed to receive such treatment?".

Aidan massaged his temples, he wasn't the type to talk too much, he believes that action speak louder than words.

"Lyra's mother is still alive, if you want to save your dear friend and her mother from my clutches then you have to sign those papers in front of you". Aidan announced.

"what? lyra is an orphan" Racheal boldly pin pointed to receive a sly grin from Aidan.

"you have exactly ten seconds to sign that or else....." he placed a gun on the table.

"I really don't have to explain what I will do to you" he added. " but I haven't read it yet" she mumbled. "sign those papers" he ordered.

Racheal picked the pen on the table and signed on the papers.

Aidan let out an evil smirk "now you can read it" .

Racheal wondered what kind of person he was, he didn't allow her read the contents first, now after he asked her to sign he then instructed her to go through it.

Racheal's heart flipped, this guy just made her sign her death wish,

Aidan felt satisfied seeing her reaction, Racheal was annoyed but she dare not show it. she raised her head to question him but found out he was no longer seated there.
