CHAPTER 19: Pissed Off

Taese didn't know why she followed her.

'Why the fvck wrong with me?!' He thought when they entered the elevator.

He then looked at the girl beside him. She's quietly waiting and staring at the elevator door.

'How can she ordered me like that?! I'm the boss!' He thought once again.

Ting!

The elevator door opened. Ivyna walked out first then he follows.

"What room number again?" Not looking at him, Ivyna asked that. She's looking at the door and finding their room number.

"30."

She nodded, still not looking at him. "Got it."

'The wrong with this lady?' He thought while staring at her back.

"Found it," Ivyna finally faced him. She hand her hand.

Taese mystify looked at her hand then shifted to her face. "What?"

"The key."

He tsked. And handed the key.

Ivyna get the key from him and open the door.

Taese shook his head.

They enterrd the room. Ivyna I couldn't stop herself to roam her eyes around the room. It's too big for them.

Taese put down the laugages near the sofa and then he sat down to feel relax. He closed his eyes and landed his arms on the sofa.

"It's already quarter to seven," Ivyna suddenly noticed the clock. "What time is the meeting will start?"

"Nine. We'll leave at 8:30."

She nodded. She walked around and saw a door. She opened it and noticed that it's the room. Only one bed. She walked inside to checked it and immediately went out.

"I can sleep here. You can go now to the room," she said. "Should I change?"

Taese open his eyes. He examined her from head to toe. After that, he closed his eyes again and says, "No."

Ivyna nodded. "Okay."

The room filled by the silence. Ivyna checked out the room. While Taese rest himself for about ten minutes before went inside the room.

Time flee past. They now prepared to go to the meeting.

"What should I do?" Ivyna asked while fixing her seatbelt.

Taese started the engine. "What your job again?"

"Secretary."

"Do what secretly do."

"I'm not familiar to the secrety thingy, you know. You brag me in," she rolled her eyes.

'Damn this!' He thought.

"Just fvcking listen and watch us, brat secretary." He whispered the last two words.

"Okay." Ivyna looked straight on the road.

In just an hour, their car parked at the expensive restaurant.

"Let's go." Taese went out first.

Ivyna followed him.

They entered the restaurant. The staff greeted them.

"Mr. Villafuento." Taese said as they reached the counter.

The lady checked the list.

"This way, sir, ma'am." She guide them.

They reached a vip room.

"Here sir." The lady staff gestured the room.

Taese nodded and open the door.

Two mid-40's men was waiting for them, Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Heni. They stood up after the door opened and Taese shows up. But not Taese caught their attention. Instead their eyes locked to Ivyna's presence.

'Tsk.' Taese thought seeing them staring at the woman behind him.

Ivyna noticed the two was staring at her so he bowed a little and smile at them.

"Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Heni, nice to meet you," Taese greeted them and walked towards them.

The two seems back to themselves after hearing Taese greetings.

"Oh, yes, nice to meet you, too, Mr. Villafuento. Sit down, sit down." Mr Yokoi gestured the chairs in front of them.

Taese sat down in front of Mr. Yokoi and Ivyna sat down in front of Mr. Heni. So, the old man's eyes didn't left her. While Mr. Yokoi trying to focus himself to Taese but he couldn't stop himself to peeked a glance to the lady.

"So, how about the contract, Mr. Villafuento, what can you say 'bout it?" Mr. Yokoi opened up.

"I think it will be a good idea to work with you."

"Our pleasure, Mr. Villafuento," they both said.

"So..." Mr. Yokoi and Mr. Heni explained to him what the contract of them and tried to impress him.

Ivyna did what her boss told her to do. She just listen and watch them. Sometimes, she smiled when she noticed that Mr. Yokoi or Mr. Heni was looking at her. She also nods if necessary.

"So the contract accepted?" Mr. Yokoi extended his hand to Taese.

Taese accepted it and give him a hand.

"Deal."

The meeting went well. Not until the two old men shifted the topic to Ivyna.

"I'm just wondering who's this girl?" Mr. Yokoi smiling asked and looked at Ivyna. "A beautiful lady."

Mr. Heni agreed to him. "Indeed."

Ivyna smile. "Thank you."

"My new secretary," Taese replied. "Just temporary."

"Really?" Mr. Yokoi didn't left his eyes to her. "Once Mr. Villafuento fired you, you can contact me. It'll be an honour to have you as secretary."

Ivyna just smiled at him. Didn't know what to say.

Taese, on the other hand, softly kicked her right feed under the table. Ivyna looked at him. Taese gave her a serious eyes.

"A-Ah," Ivyna looked to the two. "Thank you for the offering."

Taese kicked her once again. Ivyna irritated to what he's doing.

'What's wrong with this person?' She thought.

They talked for a while until Taese decided to leave them. He wanted to rest.

They handshakes.

"Thank you for you time, Mr. Villafuento."

"Thank you."

Taese nodded at them.

"We'll going." Taese turned his back at them.

Ivyna smiled at them and bowed a little before following her boss.

Taese slammed the door of his car as he went in. Ivyan almost plunge at her sit. She looked at him but he's eyes didn't looking at her.

Taese didn't utter a word and starts the engine. He fvcking don't know what the hell wrong with him. It's just that, he doesn't know why the thought of other men staring at Ivyna boiled his anger. His mind saying that he's her secretary, that's include that he's mine. So, why she bothered to smile at other men.

Once they reached the hotel, he's still pissed off. Ivyna could see it. She's staring at him all the way long. She doesn't want to add some fire on him so she stayed quiet.

Taese didn't help it at all but to express it. Once they reached their room. He held her arm that cuase Ivyna stop walking inside the room and looked at him.

"What—"

"What did you do to me?!"

Ivyna got startled to his sudden voice out.

"W-What? I didn't do anything to you."

"Fvcking shit!"

He let go of her arm and walked inside, left her dumbfounded. He directly went to shower to clear his mind.

Ivyna stayed their for a while, realizing what just happened.

"What's wrong with him?"
