Billionaire's Disastrous Kiss

Chapter 41

"It's 9.45 and she isn't here yet" Brian said as he glared at the empty VP seat.

"I wish she doesn't come at all" Lexi grunted. "She looks like a pain in the ass"

I could see everyone in our department glancing at the door from time to time, checking to see whether our new VP is coming but she was already late to the first day. We prepared a detailed report for her to go through, explaning what we had already done to the campaign so that it would help her to give further advices on what to do but I wasn't very sure that would happen.

"Let's visit our VP-I mean, Ms. Randall today" I suggested. "We didn't get to say our goodbyes yesterday"

Lexi nodded. "I was thinking the same. I know where she lives. We can go after work. Brian, drive us"

Brian sighed, leaning back in his seat. "It's so weird to think that she's not our VP anymore. I hated her but...now I feel like I will miss her. I will definitely miss bad mouthing her. That's for sure"

The door suddenly opened and all eyes turned to it. Lauren walked in wearing a red suit, a designer bag in hand, her heels clicking on the floor.

A smirk twisted in her lips seeing our blank stares. "Good morning to you too" She chuckled. "I appreciate if you start greeting me from tomorrow onwards. I'll forgive you just for today" She gave us a malicious smile and strode over to her table, taking a seat.

Few of our seniors hesitantly stood up and placed the report on her table.

"What is this?"

"A detailed report on what we'd already done"

"Read it"

"Yes ma'am" Richard took it and started reading but he couldn't even get halfway as Lauren let out a yawn.

"Take that away. You're ruining my mood in the morning"

Richard paled. "B-but you need to know it. What strategy are we supposed to implement next?"

"Why are you asking me that?"

"Because you're our VP. Ms. Randall is the one who normally comes up with strategies-"

"I'm not that old hag aren't I?" Lauren raised her voice. "Do it yourself. I'll monitor your work"

Richard's jaw tightened and everyone threw sympathetic glances at him. "Okay ma'am" He kept the file on her table and walked back to his seat.

Lauren let out a sigh and leaned back, twirling a pen between her fingers. "Where's that CEO's fiancé?"

I stiffened. Heads turned in my direction and Lauren grinned. "Ah there she is. Come here"

Reluctantly I stood up and Lauren let out a low whistle. "Oooh I love your burgundy suit" She clicked her tongue. "Look at you, no wonder a Kingston fell for you"

Ignoring her comment I strode over to her.

"My shoulders are strained" She said.

My brows knitted.

She repeated with a sly smirk. "I said, my shoulders are strained"

Everyone sucked in their breaths realising what she was asking me to do. My fists clenched at my sides.

"Do it" She ordered.

"It's not my job"

Lauren's head snapped at me. "Excuse me. What did you just say?" My jaw ticked. Lauren let out a wicked laugh. "You realise chairman has more power than Ian right? You even witnessed it yourself. If you don't want to get on his bad side," She smiled sinisterly. "You better not get on mine. Now come and do it"
