WTF!!?

Valerie's POV

A bowl of cereal and a twenty minute drive to work later, I was busy looking at the files the accountant had brought, checking to see if things were adding up, because the company was about to get into this big deal with a new company, and the boss had said it was a surprise he was gonna tell us tomorrow.

I loved my work, because it took a lot of my hours without me even realising it. I checked the time and it was actually after lunch hour.

I was about to make a call when I heard a light knock on the door

"Come in"

Lacey came in, her hands behind her back. Lacey was the delivery girl of the company. If there was a personal delivery, she was the one who brought it to you. One problem about her, she's a gossipmonger. She likes meddling into people's personal lives.

"Hey, Vee. I got you a little something from your lover"

What!! Lover?!

I was shocked to see her taking out a bouquet of white roses and there was a box that was wrapped up, making it look like a present.

"I think you're mistaken. These can't be mine"

She smiled

"But they are. The woman who delivered them said that they were for you"

Well, this is quite odd

"Ok? Thanks for this"

She just stood there

"Well, aren't you gonna open it?"

"I will, when I feel like it. Now, please may you leave my office? I've got a lot of things to do"

She was shocked, but she pretended to act like she wasn't affected by my bluntness

"Sure thing, Vee"

As soon as she closed the door, I took the box and opened it. I saw the most beautiful diamond necklace I've ever seen. In fact, I've never seen so much diamond in one place. Who bought this?

When I lifted the necklace, I saw a note in there, and when I read it, I was pissed off.

Hope you like the roses and the necklace. More will come if you agree to go out with me

~Max~

I was beyond pissed. He thought some stupid diamonds would make me go to him?!?

I felt so degraded, I was beyond disgusted. He thinks that because he's rich he can get any girl he wants? That's preposterous. That's a bunch of fooey.

I gotta give him a piece of my mind. I packed my purse and went straight to Mason's office. I'm pretty sure that he saw my face and knew at that point that something was wrong

"Hey, Vee. What's wrong?"

I was fuming. I was angry. I was livid. Flabbergasted. I showed him the things Max had given me and the note. Mason now was also filled with rage.
"Who does he think he is?"
