Chapter 156 - I Wont Be Gentle Anymore (1/2)
Ch-155
”These are loose,” she commented the moment she came out. She wore a three-piece suit. Her shirt was a bit loose but it was tucked inside her pants. She was glad that even though the pants were loose they weren't that loose.
”But better than having nothing,” Valene commented.
”Brother… send someone to drop me off. While you take Myna to her apartment. Take care of her. My phone is at Myna's house. I will get it tonight. Tell her to let me know if there are any important calls,” she said.
”I just agreed to drop you. How did I get so many tasks to do?” He asked, raising a brow.
”Hmm… maybe because you are a good brother,” she said mimicking his actions.
”I don't know what to say,” he said.
”Well… you free tomorrow?” She asked.
”It depends,” he said.
”Oh… I thought you could spend some time tomorrow night with me,” she said.
”Some other time...” he said.
”I thought to invite Myna too,” she added before he could complete his sentence.
”I am free tomorrow!!!” He announced suddenly.
”Good. I wish apart from you and me, no one would know this,” she said and he nodded.
”It's getting late. We shall leave,” she said.
”Food?” He asked.
”I will have it in the office,” she replied. He nodded.
With that, they both left. Eleanor went to her cabin mouthing a thank-you to Valene. Valene knew she wouldn't have her food. So… he went to the nearest restaurant and got a take out for her. The receptionists saw Valene was going upstairs but they didn't stop him. After all, they saw him dropping Eleanor off. If they want to incur the wrath of Eleanor they would stop him. Since they don't have any plans like that they did nothing.
Pressing the lift button to the highest floor, he went to Eleanor's cabin. And as expected she was busy listening to her schedule from her PA. In the sunlight, her pale lips, pale skin, and her serious demeanor showed that she had grown up a lot. She wasn't the same Eleanor who needed someone's protection.
”This should have been completed yesterday itself! Why the hell it's still pending?!” She yelled, scaring the poor soul.
”CEO Zora, it's the manager who hasn't submitted the work,” she said feeling scared. Eleanor was always sweet, the angry Eleanor was very rare. She got angry only once and that time… she fired eight employees without batting an eyelid. That was the reason not anybody dares to go against her.
”Ask him to meet me right now!” She ordered. The poor PA left trembling.
”You scared her,” Valene commented, letting her know of his presence.
”Just because I am absent for a day it doesn't mean they can delay the work and get out of it without any holdings,” she said.
”Hmm… let's punish him after you eat,” he said, clearing the place in front of her as he placed the food in front of her.
”Brother…” she whined.
”Eat. You need to take meds. You shall thank me for letting you work despite your health condition. If it was Martin he would have locked you in your room till you are recovered,” he said.
Eleanor has nothing to retort. She nodded. ”Let me wash my hands,” she said.
He nodded.
”Place these things on the coffee table by the way,” she said before running into the bathroom.
”Oh, God! You have princess syndrome!” He yelled at her, faking anger at her. But he smiled and did as she asked.
After all, he finally got someone to pamper.
When Eleanor came out of the bathroom, she saw her cabin had another member with a middle-aged man trying to manage his breath.
”Mr... Bill, I guess you know the reason for your invitation to my office,” she said, walking towards the coffee table.
”The documents should be printed and signed with the Bonnet groups yesterday, which I failed to do,” he replied.
”Well… now I am being generous. So...get it done in an hour or get ready to resign after one hour one minute,” she said before taking her seat on the couch.
”CEO Zora, that…” he wanted to say something but was cut off in the middle.
