4 Chapter 3 The Boss. (1/2)
”Vanessa Survin! What the fuck am I hearing? Do you have any.....” Vanessa moved her phone away as his elder brother babbled on and on and on, while she casually hummed the lyrics of her favourite song under her breath.
”Vanessa? Vanessa? Are you even listening to me?” Stephan's voice sounded like an angry ringmaster, and Vanessa giggled.
”Yes bro! What's up?”
”What's up? You are asking me what's fucking up? Do you have any idea how dangerous...”
”Steph.....”
”...Do you have any sense...”
”Steph...”
”.....What was mom and dad thinking.....”
And she hanged up on him. She sighed as her phone rang again and she swipes the arrow towards right.
”Hello?”
”Quit!”
”No!” Vanessa scowled at her brother and heard him sigh.
”Vinni-”
”No, I will not quit!! This is my only chance to stand up on my feet, alone!”
”Vanessa.....”
”Pretty please with a cherry on the top.” Vinni gave him, her best and heard him sigh again.
”Ok fine.....”
”Yay! Love you too. Bye!” Vanessa cut the call before he could change his mind and giggled like a schoolgirl whose crush just reciprocated her feelings.
”Wohoo! I did it.” She fist pump the air in victory and froze as someone cleared his throat from behind her.
She swallowed nervously and turned to face the person who had interrupted her.
Oh damn!
She froze as her eyes meet those chocolate browns again, that had a hint of amusement lingering in them, instead of blankness. Her new boss.
What is she supposed to say? Good afternoon sir, my name is Sapphire Jones, I am the new manager and do thank your PA for ruining my beautiful suit.
It will look bad.
”Are you the new manager?” His deep voice formed goosebumps on her arms and she managed a timid nod, after throwing away the thought to itch it.
”I can't hear you.......” He gave her a cold look and Vanessa clammed up severely.
”Y-yes sir.”
”Hmm.....” He nodded satisfied and looked over her intrigued and she suddenly felt self-conscious under his gaze. Her hands clutched onto the hem of her shirt in support and his eyes followed the action. ”.... Welcome to Black's Corporation Miss....”
”S-Sapphire. Sapphire Jones.”
”Miss Jones, I'll see you tomorrow, first thing in the morning, 9am sharp.”
Black's Corporation, I have heard it somewhere.
”Sure sir.”
”Have a good day, Ms. Jones.” He nodded at her politely and she gave him a toothy smile.
