Nick's POV

"Evening Miles"

We all stood there with our hard faces on  and he stood there with his men. If Miles wants his raise, he has to earn it

"So, how was the drive over"

"Cut to the case Miles, why are you here"

"What, I can't have casual conversation with my bosses?"

"Why the fuck are we here Miles"

"I want a raise" Guess Chez was right

"Why?"Dalen might be shutting him down, but he always wants to know the reasoning. Only so he can see the hope in their eyes drop once he says no

"I've moved more product than anyone has and I get it done efficiently. It only makes sense for me to have a raise"

There was silence. As if Dalen was thinking even though he already knew his answer. "No"

"I'm sorry, it sounded like you said no"Miles was irritated

"That's because I did"

Miles humorlessly chuckles and then nods to one of his men. He walks off "I want you to rethink your answer"

"No, means no. Didn't your mother ever teach you that?"

His men comes back carry someone over his shoulder. Miles reached over and dragged Diem towards him

"Don't touch her!" Dalen unexpectedly  yelled towards Miles

Miles looked shocked by Dalen's reaction before he smirked and moved his hand down to Diem's waist and pulled her closer to him. "Now when I heard about princess right here, I didn't believe it. But judging by your current state, I see the rumors are true"

"Alright what do you want Miles, for real"Erik stepped forward with his fist balled up

"I already told you, I want a raise for my work"

"I already told, it's not happening!"Dalen barked at him

"Noted"Miles turned his head back to Diem and grabbed her by her chin. She flinched. "These lips....look to die for" He then started to lean down to kiss her. She tried to push against him but he didn't budge. I wanted to let Dalen go just so he can beat the crap out of him.  Before his lips could touch her, Dalen yelled at him

"25" Miles pulled away and arched a brow at him "I'll raise you to 25" I snap my head to him , he has to be kidding"Now get.your.hands.off.of her."

Miles then turned to me"Faille, you know what it's like to have someone you care about in this situation."

"25, take it or leave!"

"Oh,I'll take it. I was honestly just looking for a raise to 17 but I'll take 25"he turned back to Diem"This is where we part ways princess. Faille." He held her hand out to be. I step forward and grabbed her hand, about to pull her away, until Miles pulled her back"I want that 25 by Friday"

"Fine"

"Sweet dreams Princess" He finally let her go and walked away. I looked down at Diem and pulled her into a hug

"Are you okay dork?" I felt her nod her head as I walked us back over to the guys. Dalen instantly took her from me. 

"Make arrangements and find a way to get that 25 by Friday" We all nod "Nick,I'm going to need your car"I dig in my pocket and throw him my keys. He catches them and walks out with dork in his arms.

We've known Diem for about a month or so, how the hell did Miles find out about him in that time.  I pull out my phone and see it's about 11 pm.

"So how the hell are we going to get home"I ignore Chez and walk out of the warehouse. I heard a slap "Ever heard of walking dumbass"

"Why must you hit me all the time Erik? I really don't get it"

"I'm trying to slap some sense into you, that's why"

"Can you guys not act like little boys for once"

I turn around and see them at least 6 feet away from"And hurry up, I don't need you guys getting kidnapped either"

What the hell am I going to do with these idiots
