CHAPTER FORTY
CHAPTER FORTY
**ADRIAN**
I heard a knock on my door when I was in the middle of going through some files and I told whoever that was knocking to come in. The door opened and closed and I knew that the person that was knocking had gotten inside. I was expecting the person to talk but he or she didn’t.
“Okay, who is this? Can’t you say whatever you are here for and get out of my office?” I spoke up and looked up at the person that walked in and was met with a huge shock. A shock in form of Brianna dressed in
“Brianna?” I asked speechlessly.
“Yes boss. Good morning, I brought your coffee for you.” She said and approached my desk with a cup of coffee in her hand. Yet another shock because she had not been bringing my coffee to me again.
“Is this really Brianna?” I asked again.
“Yes boss, it’s me. Don’t I look like Brianna?” She asked with a smirk.
“You have her face and body but you don’t dress like her.” I stated as a matter-of-fact.
“You seem to have forgotten, Mr. Adrian. You told me to start dressing conservatively yesterday and I am following your orders.” She replied and I remembered that I told her to start wearing conservative clothes.
“I did tell you to start wearing conservative clothes but I didn’t tell you to dress like a… like a….” I thought of the best thing to say and it came to my mind. “I didn’t tell you to dress like a masquerade and scare people away.” I uttered.
“Well, you’re not very lucky because these are the only conservative clothes that I can get and you’ll have to let me wear them whether you like it or not. Or you’ll have let me wear my less conservative clothes.” She said with a little bit of authoritativeness in her voice.
“Who do you think you’re talking to in that manner? Have you forgotten that you’re talking to your boss?” I demanded.
“Oh, I didn’t realize that I was talking to my boss.” She retorted sarcastically.
“You’re really growing wings these days. I’ve been merciful enough not to fire you since all this while but you’re crossing your boundaries and I won’t be so merciful the next time you disrespect me.” I warned dangerously and she seemed to relent.
“Ugh whatever! He always gets to boss people around but they can’t stand up for themselves.” She muttered underneath her breath but I heard her loud and clear.
“What did you say?” I asked with a smirk.
“Nothing. I said nothing.” She stated.
“Good, I thought as much. You brought the coffee for me, right? Drop it and leave.” I ordered and she dropped the cup of coffee on my desk. I peered into the cup suspiciously.
“I hope you didn’t poison the coffee?” I asked, looking at her with dangerous eyes.
“Only a wicked person would think that his drink was poisoned but I wish I could poison it tho. I would have been so happy.” She smiled liked a maniac.
“Jeez! You’re creepy as fuck. Were you a murderer or a serial killer in your former life? Because you’re exuding the vibe of a serial killer.” I said and she paused to think a little.
“I think I was and I still have a little bit of it in me.” She grinned crazily and I must not lie, fear gripped me a little.
“What the hell! Get out of my office, you creep! I can’t believe my personal assistant is a serial killer, you could have killed me all this while.” I shouted.
“Wow! I can’t believe you’re scared of me. I should have recorded this moment and use it against you in the future.” She giggled.
“I’m not scared of you. I was just kidding. How will I be scared of a girl?” I retorted, after gaining back my composure.
“You were scared, I saw fear in your eyes.” She said with certainty.
“I was not scared! Now get out of my office and go and get prepared, we have a meeting with the inventors concerning the invention of the robot.” I said simply.
“Okay sir.” She nodded grumpily and stormed out of my office.
She never cease to amaze me. Wear conservative clothes I said but she’s dressing like a psychopath. She’s even behaving like a serial killer. I can’t believe I was scared of her. There was some kind of dangerous glint in her eyes.
I think I’m going crazy, I thought and ruffled my hair.
**BRIANNA**
I stormed out of his office angrily. My plan didn’t work. I thought that if I dressed crazily today, he’d tell me to continue wearing my former clothes again but the plan failed. I’ll have to be wearing clothes like this till God knows when.
Because of the anger that I was feeling, I didn’t notice that someone was coming in front of me till I bumped into the person. What’s with me and bumping into people these days??
“Brianna??” The person called and I looked up at the person’s face to see that it was Lewis. I bumped into him yesterday and today again. What the hell? And it’s always when I’m angry.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hey Lewis. Sorry for bumping into you. I was not looking.” I said.
“It’s okay.” He stated and looked at me from head to toe before shaking his head in amusement.
“You said that I would be wowed when I see you today and indeed, I am very shocked. You really did what you said.” He chuckled.
“What can I say? I always go by my words.” I laughed, my mood lifting a little.
“I can see that. But you don’t look that bad in the dress. It looks good on you or should I say that you look good in it?” He complimented and I smiled.
“Either way you say it, thanks for the compliment.” I grinned.
“Anytime. I would have loved to chat more with you but I have a lot of work on my table.” He said.
“It’s fine, I’m also going for a meeting in some minutes time. I’ve got to prepare.” I uttered.
“Alright, I’ll catch you later.” He said and we went our separate ways.
