Chapter 9

"Hotel Detour, Sir. Mr Wilson and Mr Stewart are notified personally and shall be there by 7pm.", I inform Mr Roosevelt of this annual meeting they conduct with all the high post officials. This was the second time as there were few changes and new recruits that needed to be discussed among them.

The conference room here was already occupied for the meeting of directors so I arranged the meeting at an hotel, not to distort Daniel's schedule and so I could find some time alone with him after office. I hope that stupid bimbo has left already for I didn't see anyone walk through his door.

I can't believe I was face to face with my ex's current girlfriend few hours ago and that she insulted me before shoving me out of his cabin. Insult of the year! At least, I got to know what kind of a woman she is!

"Bye, honey. I'll see you tomorrow!", and after a trail of flying kisses, she finally walks to the elevator. I wait for her to drag her ass out of this floor before rushing my way to Daniel.

"Daniel?", I barge into his cabin to find him fixing his tie and coat. Did they do what you guys are thinking? He lifts his swollen eyes and a smile tugs on his lips. I walk towards him and he takes my little self in his huge arms without wasting a second. "Hey, what happened? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine now. I'm sorry, Lorraine, she shouldn't have...", when I was just getting comfortable, the door opens with heels clicking sound approaching us. I turn around to see the same bitch standing before us with rage filled eyes. She rips me away from Daniel and was about to lunge at me when he holds her.

"What the hell are you doing? Stay away from her!", Daniel yells pushing her towards the table and standing before me as a wall to protect me. That just doubled her anger and she looked at me as if she would rip my insides out right now. I swallowed the bile forming in my throut and readying myself for the drama.

"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO FUCK MY BOYFRIEND?!", she shouts through her dirty mouth. I frown on the use of her words. When did hugging become fucking all of a sudden?

I was right about her, she's a crooked possessive bitch. I looked at Daniel who was fuming but she wouldn't stop. She stomped towards me but Daniel didn't move an inch and kept me behind. "Emily, would you stop for God's sake!"

"Oh, so that you can continue your fuck session? How could you even think of cheating on me after everything?!"

"We weren't doing anything, okay!She....she...", he looks at me, his eyes filled with guilt. He walks to her grabbing her hand. "Just get out of here.", he orders in anger but that didn't seem to affect her.

"You're saying this to me? You know what, Ms Lorraine Davis, YOU ARE FIRED!", her words fall on my ears pure like pure poison. My eyes widen, I look at her in complete shock, my body tensing with anger. This was the same with Daniel, yet he didn't defend me now.

"Who the fuck are you to fire me? You don't own him and your ass has no authority to fire me.", I snap at her making her boil.

"Oh, if I see you again in his cabin or in the office I will make sure to give you some treat.", she says pulling a gun out of her purse. A fucking gun!! I am not one of those people to to be afraid of death for I do what's right even at the cost of my life. She thinks she can scare me, but instead I roll my eyes in her way while she smirks.

"Not you darling,", Emily places the tip of gun before Daniel's head.

"NO!", I scream stepping towards him but she pulls him closer pointing the gun at his forehead. Tears threatening to leave my eyes, my lips quivered with fear. Is this lady psychopath?!

"I won't hesitate. Just warning you to stay away from my boyfriend or you'll have to carry the burden of his.... You know what I mean. You don't know me yet, and how dangerous I can be. I know everything you and Daniel had and that you're his secretary, but when I find someone trying to seize what's mine, I make sure they never breathe again.", she smirks and kisses his cheek. Daniel was standing there helpless, his body was numb and his face reddened and covered in tears. I had never seen him so vulnerable before, and I couldn't bear that.

"What do you want? Will you kill the person you love?" I ask her. Even if he's cheated on me for Emily, I had never thought about hurting him and I have to ensure he's safe with or without her in anyway. That's what my love for him will make me do, do whatever it takes to protect him.

"I want him. He's mine and I think you being his lovely idiotic ex should stay away from him. He's never getting back to you."

Whether he'll get back to me or not isn't my concern, his safety is. "And will you hurt him for that?"

"Depends. Now, if you want him to be able to walk tomorrow, get lost with your stuff and never even think of coming back."

Daniel steps towards me but she holds him in place wrapping her arm around his waist. I close my eyes for a brief moment before meeting Daniel's pleading ones. Those eyes once filled with extreme love and affection for me, are now drowned in pain and suffering.

"Lorraine, please...", he says through shaky voice. A tears rolls down my cheek at the sight of him.

"It's okay. Take care of yourself." Emily flashes a victorious smile before putting back the gun in her purse. "Please, don't hurt him, I will resign." Daniel hangs his head down sobbing softly.

"That's a good girl. Now, get lost and don't ever show your face to us again."

I glance at Daniel for the last time before making my way out again and that's when all the pent up tears, regret and anger streamed out of me. It was worse that the time when we broke up. A trail of questions lined up in my mind, the ones which only maximised my pain.

Who was Emily and why is she so dangerous? She didn't even hesitate to point the gun at Daniel, her own boyfriend. As much as it hurts me to know the fact that I've completely lost him now, the fact that he's not safe with that woman matters to me more. What did she want from him? From me? And most of all, why didn't she hurt me instead of threatening to hurt him?

I needed answers, and I needed them now. And also, a job!
