CHAPTER TWELVE
**BRIANNA**
I freshened up and put on my waitress uniform. It had gotten more tight that it brought out my curves and it reached just above my knees. I brushed my hair and it fell to my mid back. I packed it in a ponytail so that it won’t disturb me when I’m working and also put on some lip balm cos I don’t wanna have chapped lips. I picked up my black sandals from the shod rack and wore it then picked up my handbag before walking out of the room. I walked down the stairs and met mom watching news on the small television while Marie was doing her assignment.
“Good day world. You are tuned to America Express Television Network. I’m your host, Camila Lopez and beside me is…” The newscaster trailed off and her colleague continued “Michael Collins and here are the headlines for today…”
I sat down beside mom who was engrossed in the news she was watching. I don’t even know what there is to be so focused on. I find news so boring, well I guess that’s what middle-age people love watching.
“Hey mom.” I greeted.
“Hey darling, going to the club already?” She questioned as she turned slightly to look at me.
“Yeah, I’m going to the club but I still have thirty minutes to spare.” I replied looking at the wall clock.
“Ok sweetie. Will you eat something before you go? You didn’t eat when you came back from work and I’m pretty sure you didn’t eat lunch at the office today because of the fire incident you told me. There are some leftover sandwiches in the kitchen, will you eat them?” She stated and I thought about it for a moment.
It will be good if I eat something now since I haven’t eaten anything except the food I ate this morning and it wouldn’t be healthy if I decide to eat when I come back from the club because it would have been late by then. I told her I’d eat and then stood up and went to the kitchen. I saw the sandwiches on the counter and sat on one of the stools. I gobbled down the sandwiches in no time and filled a cup with water from the tap and gulped it down quickly and a loud burp escaped my mouth. I didn’t realize I was starving till I had devoured all the sandwiches. I picked up the plate and cup and placed it in the sink before walking out of the kitchen. The news mom was watching was still on and the host said something that made my ears prick up.
“The CEO of AC ORGANISATION, Mr. Carter announced that Carter Automobile Industry will be launching their latest automobile design with advanced technology next year but he refused to disclose the specific month. So everyone should get prepared to be shocked because we all know that AC ORGANIZATION doesn’t fail to give the people what they want.” I heard the newscaster say and my brows furrowed in confusion. I worked in one of AC ORGANIZATIONS’ branches but I don’t know that they also produce automobiles. I don’t even know what they produce. I really need to make a research about the company I’m working in. Well, I just started working there so whatever.
I tuned out the voice of the newscaster and looked at the wall clock and saw that it was 7:10 p. m already. I better be on my way then, I thought sighing. I picked up my handbag and stood up from the sofa I was sitting on.
“I’m leaving now mom. Don’t wait up for me, I might come back late.” I said to mom.
“Ok darling.” She replied.
“And you Marie, don’t stay up late and take care of mom till I get back.” I stated and walked to the door.
“Alright sis. Bye!” Marie said.
“Bye guys!” I replied and strode out of the house.

I sighed tiredly when I finished signing the last file that needed my signature and pushed it aside. I loosened my tie and unbuttoned the first two buttons of my shirt and leaned back on the swivel chair I was sitting on. I closed my eyes and was beginning to drift off to sleep because of how tired I was when I suddenly heard a knock on the door.
“Come in.” I grumbled out and the door opened.
The Sales Manager came in walking seductively, her hips swaying with each step she took. She was wearing a shirt with the first three buttons undone and the upper part of her boobs was in full display. She was also putting on a skimpy skirt that I could see her full thighs. She walked towards my desk holding some files in her hands.
“What do you want?” I asked sternly.
“I came to drop these files that needs your review. I need to know if anything needs to be changed or corrected before I send it to Mr. Rodrigo.” She said leaning on my desk. I could clearly see that she was wearing a black lacy bra.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Couldn’t you have brought it since morning? Why are you just bringing it now?” I asked angrily.
“I came the other time Sir but you said I should come back later that you don’t want anybody disturbing you.” She said and I thought back to it before realizing that I actually said I don’t want any disturbance.
“Well take it with you and bring it back tomorrow. I’m too tired to review anything right now.” I groaned.
“Ok Sir. If need any help in easing your tiredness, I’m right here for you.” She said biting her lower lips and looking at me with seductive eyes. I glared at her furiously when she tried to make advances to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like fucking girls but I don’t fuck my employees. I love to maintain the boss and employee relationship.
“What are you trying to do?” I asked playing dumb.
“I’m trying to tell you that if you need any help in easing your tiredness, any help at all, I’m here to help you.” She repeated herself.
“I don’t need your help and if you ever try to seduce me again, consider your miserable ass fired!” I yelled and she started shivering.
“Now, button up that shirt of yours and drag down that thing you call a skirt.” I ordered and she did as I said.
“Get out of my office and make sure you bring that file tomorrow morning. And also remember never to try seducing ever in your fucking life.” I snapped and she ran out as if someone poured something hot on her body. I hissed angrily and decided it was time for me to go home. I wouldn’t wanna miss a night of drinking and fucking you know, and Manuel would also kill me if I don’t go to the club with him.
I packed my stuff in my briefcase and threw my suit jacket over my shoulder then walked out of the office. I got to the elevator and pressed a button then waited for a few seconds for it to get here. When it did, the doors slid open and I stepped inside. I pressed the button that’ll take me to the first floor and the doors closed. After a few minutes, it got to the first floor and I walked out of it. There was no single person there so I exited the building and went straight to the parking lot where I saw my driver Brandon, leaning against the car. When he saw me coming, he rushed over to me and collected the briefcase and my suit jacket from me. I got into the backseat of the car while Brandon sat down at the driver’s seat.
“Where are we going boss?” He asked while starting the car.
“Where else are we going to if not home?” I snapped.
“Alright Sir. Home it is.” He replied and drove out of the premises. I’ll go home first to freshen up and have a change of clothes before going to the club because if I don’t show up, Manuel will have my head on a platter. He may joke a lot but he’s a devil inside.
