Chapter 8
When we hear of gold diggers. We always picture very sexy, classic, arrogant ladies with flamboyant lifestyle. Yes, that is how we always portrait them in our minds.
Let me tell you that's not always the case. They are not always that flashy. Some walking around with innocent charming face like the purest of us all. Still, they are the most imperviable ones. I know Emile Kiddie is one. I hate her so much!.
“Doc, find all about her!. Everything about her past. Her real identity has to be divulge!... Make sure you get me something quick... You know I don't have patient!. So be quick!.”
** Anticipation Ends **

• • • Emile Kiddie’s POV • • •
“What does he take me for!.”
I walk out of Dickinson’s office mad. His secretary acts weird with her scrutinising glances on me as usual.
She must surely consider me as a slut now!.
I finally reach my desk. I wish I can get home right now like to run away from this but I can't. I don't want to lose this job. I had hard times finding this just and I won't let anyone jeopardise it for me, not even my Boss. Like I don't want to return to that bar or have any other sort of common job.
“Emile, stay calm!. It's your first day and you need to glow.”
I meditate deep within. Good peace of mind is what I need.
“He's such a jerk!. How can he fall this low?. He’s married for crying out loud!.” my minds pops back to Dickinson no matter how hard I try to forget and this makes me mad. I don't know if I'm mad at me or him. But one thing I'm sure of right now is that I'm seriously mad.
“He asked, does it remains you of last night!. What was he meaning!.” I get lost in my thoughts.
“Emile!.”
Ethan calls but I don't recognise his voice.
“What!. What!”
I yell at the top of my voice. So loud that the whole office stood quite starring at me. Staring at us, I turn to Ethan who is strutting behind me. “Fuck!. I'm in deep shit!.” I whimper deep down in me.
“In my office, now!.”
He yells back. I feel the bitterness in his voice. He angrily walk away. I follow him with every part of me trembling.
I shouted at my superior on my first day of work. As if it wasn't enough I had to interrupt the whole staff with noise. This makes me sick and weak.
We get in his office and seat!.
“I don't care about what is wrong with you. You have to deal with that before you come to work and before you address me!. I don't condone disrespect!.”
He calmly recites with some hints of anger in his voice and facial expression, yet he manages to keep his calm. Wow! admirable.
This makes me feel ridiculous
“I'm sorry sir!. It will never repeat it's self again!.”
I stop him before he can finish his speech.
“Better!... It should never repeat itself... I will forgive you for now. I'm away of the fact that It's your face day and I know how stressful it can be!.”
“Thank you, sir!.” I add in-between his speech.
“Yet, respect is our number one principle in this company!. Make sure you always keep that in mind!.”
“I will!.” I add
“After me in this department it's you. This means you got a lot of work to do. You need to learn how to control your stress level because this work is so demanding and stress is part of our daily routine here!.”
He genuinely explains.
“Yes sir!. Yes, sir!.”
I reply seriously nodding at him more of an excuse.
“Is it all for now?.”
I ask with my unfocused mind.
“Yea, I will call you when need you!.”
“Thank you!.”
With that, I immediately leave
“Before I forget!.” his voice stops me at the door and I turn to him with a fake smile on.
“Come on time when I call you!. You can leave!.” he concludes. I seriously nod.

• •• Dickinson POV • ••
OMG, I messed up!.
“Good Morning!.”
Max flirts with my Secretary.
“Good morning!.”
She smiles blushing like a fool.
After a little brief discussion with her, he strides straight to my office without knocking on the door or any announcement from my Secretary. She was still day dreaming when Max left. She later releases her self but this is late already since Max is in my office.
“Hey Dick!.” he teases. I fix him with a cold glance.
“How was last night!.” he seat on the chair opportunity my desk with his query but, very eager glance fixed on me.
“I fucked up!.” I drop the pen I'm having in my hand, on the table and I lean back on the chair.
“Wow, you smart men!. I guess she easily gave in since you are her Boss! and everyone girl will love to be your kitten!.” He chortles till he notices my hopeless stare fixed on him.
“Any problem?. Don't tell me you didn't protect yourself?.” He immediately stops laughing and he worries.
“Don't be foolish! that's the first thing I always do but this time nothing happened. I didn't fuck her! and I don't think I will ever fuck her ... To conclude all she's mad at me.” I get contentious...
“Calm down menh... You can always find someone else!.” Max carelessly retorts like she doesn't mean anything.
“Which other one?... You know I'm a married man and I'm not comfortable teaching on my wife and you know that I have never been able to cheat on Emily... So how many times will I have to tell you this?.” I frown.
“Chill!... All I want is your happiness and nothing else... and if it means finding a girl to distress you, I don't mind!.” he gets serious...
“OMG, Max! I do mind!.” I yell. Thou I'm short of words... He can be very stubborn at times.
“Okay fine! you so piss!... What truly happened between you and that pretty young girl?.” he gets curious at my strange mood which I tried so hard to camouflage in vain. He knows me so well!.
I take a deep breath because I know what I'm about to say is ridiculous.
“I call her today in my office and I tried kissing her. She rejected me and she left the office furious!. Now I feel like a jerk!.” I explain...
“I don't get it!. You had all the time last night to do whatever you wanted with her. So?... And more to that she rejected you, Oh my dear Dickinson, I know how it hurts, I also know it's the first time a lady rejected you! hahaha...!. You will get over it.” he laughs loud... His laughter doesn't leave me indifferent..
“Don't be stupid Max, I can get over that!.” I proudly retort.
“Oh! I see it!...” he smirks “So what happened last night then?.”
“We drank, she got drunk and kind of naughty. I had to restrain my self not to do something stupid. OMG, she's a bomb, her kiss is divine!... Anyway, I didn't want to take advantage of her.” I get passionate but I quickly realise me...
“So I'm right!. Something happened last night!.” Max gets excited for me.
“Just some little kisses which she seems not to remember and it's normal because she was damn drunk!.” I carelessly retort.
“Wow, now you speak like the Dickinson I know!. I know you don't approve of my ways but if that girl can make you relax in this difficult period of your life, don't let her go!. Just chill, have fun, you deserve this. Just make sure crazy Emily doesn't find it out... simple!.” he persuades me.
“You know I don't have the time or the energy for sure hide and seek games!. I'm a straight forward man!... And seriously I don't want to veer back to the old me of a few years ago!...” I flinch
“Send her flowers. Go on vacation with her!. Have fun and stop when you start getting bored or too emotional!... That's what calms me down once in a while with my wife... Rebecca, oh Rebecca, she's always available whenever I go to Jazzer.”. Max keeps insisting...
Jazzer is a town far away from ours (Metro Vill).
“You crazy menh... You told me it was over with Rebecca?. So what's happening again?... I can't even imagine what will happen when Rachel will find about her!.”
“Don't even mention that, just imagining such an encounter freaks me up!. Hahaha!...” He fakes a horrified face... And we both laugh aloud.
“Seriously, that young girl can be your Rebecca!. Think over it...” he insists using the laughter as a medium of persuasion.
“Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not into such, thanks!. More to this, I don't think I need a Rebecca in my life right now. The Drama I receive from Emily is enough!...”
“Think about it. I'm leaving now. I got work!... I just had to rush here to pull your leg. If I asked through the phone you won't have told me anything!.” He stands to leave and I follow him out of the office.
He walks ahead and I follow him from behind. His suddenly stops speaking. This is weird!. I hurriedly lock my office door to check on him or what made him quiet.
When I turn on to him, I find him seriously staring at something. I follow his glance and my glance unexpectedly fall on that of Emile hanging some files to my secretary. She tightens her faces as she sees Max and me. My smile fades as I see her too. Max looks at her then he turns to back looking at me. I don't know what he is expecting to detect. Anyway my cold gaze is fixed on her.
The Secretary stand confused at the absolute silence and the sudden tense atmosphere...
I later realize myself and I take my glance off, her... “I think I have to leave!.” I confide to max and I leave back to my office. Meanwhile, I was planning to follow Max down the building and to take a cup of coffee in the fresh open air...
While Emile immediately moves back to the lifter after handing the files. Max follows her. He put his leg in-between the lifter just on time and the door widens. She fumes in wrath as he enters the lifter. She furiously folds her arms and she leans on the side corner.
“Good Morning pretty!.” He greets her with a huge smile.
“Don't you dare!.” She yells at him
“I'm sorry about last night, I didn't mean it!. I had an urgency!.” he excuses himself.
“Whatever! I don't give a damn!.” she rolls her eyes and fling her stares away.
“I hope you had fun?.” He insists on making her talk. But she battles to remain calm though she has a lot to tell him.
Luckily for her the lifter finally opens and she step out without saying a word to him. Once she gets out of the lifter, she turns back to him saying... “Stay far away from me!.” she warns and the lifter door closes and takes him off her viewpoint.
“Shit!.” she fall on her office desk exhausted and unable to concentrate on anything again. “I'm so furious at Max for what he did last night. I'm sure he planned it with Dickinson to take advantage of me since his my boss. Just because they have money they think they can rule the world... Whatever, I'm an exception then!.” she gets nuts.
“OMG! I have to avoid them as much as possible, if I want to keep this job!. I really need this job!.” she cries..
