Lies and acts

"This is the office sir, I expect you to be professional" She told him and left not waiting to talk to Steph who was waiting outside, she rushed straight to her office, closing the door and leaning her back on it. She ran her hands through her long hair, her heart beating fast as she realized what she had just done. She just slapt him! She didn't regret it but damn it! He was her boss and she could get fired with this. Finding another company like this would be so hard. She had absolutely no idea, no idea that her boss would turn out to be the last person she wanted to see. Why does it have to be him huh? Once again, she laughed at herself as she remembered offering to pay him that night not knowing that he was a big boss himself. Bigger than anything she could imagine. Eric Flores, his name was very popular. She heard it most of the times but never knew what he looked like. According to what she heard about him, he was heartless, ruthless, cruel and... Above the law. He was someone feared by everyone and she... Gosh, she just slapped him. She calmed herself and tried to think of her next step. She had to pretend, yeah, pretend like she doesn't know him. She doubt he would believe that but he would have no choice. Secondly, she had to stay away from him. She had to avoid getting in contact with him as much as possible and maybe she might last long.

...

Eric Flores stood there unmoving after she left. Never in his entire life has a girl raised her hands on him but instead of feeling angry, he found himself smiling and thinking that she was feisty and had a temper, not exactly his type as he loved his women submissive and hot. Well, she fit one category and maybe that was why he couldn't get her out of his mind ever since that day. He wanted her in his bed again so damn bad that the thought of her beautiful naked ass spread in front of him made his d*ck harden and he closed his eyes, quickly dispelling the thought and returning to his seat as his assistant who he drove out a while ago, stepped inside.

"It didn't go well. Did it?" Carlos asked as his gaze rested on his red cheeks and that only made him throw a glare and Carlos shut it immediately and quickly reported.

"Robin wants a meet up, he said you would hand him the goods yourself"

"Did he?" Eric chuckled as his eyes lit up "Just when I was looking for someone to give a good beating"

"Tell him we'll meet then but he has to give one of his mens head as tribute for the stress I'll be going through"

Carlos nodded not surprised at the message. As usual, his boss loved it bloody. The more bloodier it gets, the more thrilling it is for him.

"What if its a trap?" Carlos reminded, not forgetting to point that out.

"I bet he will be that stupid" Eric said "If it is, follow the normal process.... Wipe them out. Completely"

...

Work time was finally over and Gianna exited the company after saying her goodbyes. She was quite surprised when she spotted a red flashy car waiting for her at the side. It was Henry.

Frowning, she approached and saw him wink at her.

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course I came to pick my wife up" He opened the door and beckoned for her to get in.

"But I brought my own car" She told him as she went in. Feeling a pair of intent eyes watching her back, she couldn't help but peer outside. She didn't find anyone.

"That would be taken care of" Henry said "I have a surprise for you" The moment he said this she felt someone cover her eyes from the back. From the size of those hands, she could tell it was a woman which led her to think about only one person "Klara" She called out and almost immediately the scene of her destroying that woman's face appeared in her head and she smirked. At least that scene was pleasant.

Klara climbed over to the front to give her a big hug and Gianna knew once again she had to control herself, listen to their lies and watch their pathetic acts.

"Did you miss me? Gosh, I can't believe I didn't even attend your wedding" Klara looked sad and apologetic.

"Of course I know you were doing a shoot overseas. How can I even hold that against you when you're climbing your way to stardom huh?" Gianna laughed naturally and raised her hands to point at herself "Your friend here will never hold you back"

She saw tears starting to form in Klara's eyes at her words and had to stop herself from letting out a scoff. Really now?

"You're my sister G. Just wait until I prove it to you"

Prove it by f*cking my husband huh? She couldn't get that scene out of her mind no matter how much she tried and it hurts to say it still hurts. Klara was an actress and one that was currently popular with no scandals. Her background was squeaky clean but Gianna was going to make sure she was trending soon. She smirked.

Klara hugged her once again and they started to talk about everything. Giggling every now and then while Henry shakes his head at somethings they say. It would have been a beautiful scene and a sweet memory for her but when she remembered what this two had done to her in the past, she suddenly turned cold. Gianna stared at Klara one more time, those eyes that looked so nice, she was like a sister she never had. She thought they always looked out for each other but everything was all in her head. She was the fool and it hurt so much to know that she realized that late. That everything was fake. All the love she received were all fake.

Soon they got to their destination and as they all went in, Gianna saw a feast was being prepared. Different kind of dishes were laid on the table and that was when she noticed one little detail. They were all Klara's favorites. She couldn't believe she hadn't notice this detail in the past. What kind of fool must she have been? Her expression turned cold and she went upstairs leaving them alone there and ignoring whatever they said after her. She dipped her hands in her pocket to take out her phone wanting to call her dad but couldn't find it. That was when she realized she had forgotten to take it from the office. Sighing, she went down the stairs again.

"What's wrong? Aren't you joining us?" Henry asked.

"Ah, I have to get something. Will Be back in a jiffy" She told them and hurriedly left. Taking her car keys with her.

She drove to the company and went in after explaining to the security guards. It was dark and silent with no one in sight. She paused at the door before forcing herself to go in. She had a phobia for dark places and right now, it seemed as if there was a power problem as the whole place was dark but she told herself she could do it. Closing her eyes and taking a sigh. She took a step in, since she couldn't use the elevator, she climbed the stairs to the third floor and finally located her office. She quickly went to her desk and saw her phone laying there. She took it and was prepared to go out when she suddenly felt it, a strong presence around her. Looking around her she couldn't find anyone and that only gave her chills.

She swallowed, her legs quickly moving to the exit but the doors closed on its own again with a loud bang that made her jump. Clutching her phone to her chest, her heart pounded heavily that she could hear it clearly in her ears.

As she turned around, she saw a dark shadow coming out of the darkness and froze. She knew she was just being paranoid but she couldn't stop herself from feeling scared and taking steps back as the figure kept coming closer until her back plastered on the door realizing that she had no where to run to. She closed her eyes hoping that it will help and that was when she heard his voice. So deep, strong and familiar.

"What are you doing here?"

Her eyes flew open and she stared straight into his eyes. It turned out to be her boss. The very Eric Flores. What the hell was he doing in her office? And scaring her like that... "Y-y-y-you" Quite flustered she couldn't pronounce a word.

"What is it Gianna? You look so scared"

"Ha, me? Scared? Which of your eyes saw me scared huh?"

"This ones" He pointed at his own eyes and tilted his head looking amused "Are you... Scared of dark spaces?" He asked her.

"No" As she said this, she realized their position only when the fragrant smell of his cologne hit her nose. He was standing so close to her with only an inch of space between them and he covered it, his hands slapping the walls at her sides, trapping her in between them. He lowered his head so he was looking straight into her eyes.

"No? But your eyes are saying something different"

She swallowed and didn't reply to that.

"Miss Gianna? Are you perhaps seeing anyone?"

She saw something flicker in his eyes as he asked this. His gaze becoming darker when she took a long time to respond.

"No" She answered not taking her gaze from him"Why do you ask?"

"Just to be sure I don't have to kill anyone tonight" He smiled. A kind of smile that looked harmless but Gianna knew better. Could she tell him that she was married instead? For some reasons, she didn't dare to. She wasn't wearing her ring either.

Holding his dark gaze, she smirked and let her arms go around his neck "A one night stand couldn't have made you fall inlove right Mr Eric Flores?" She asked daringly.
