Chapter 85: Embarrassed
No, she wasn’t. She was always dressed in cheap dresses. She looked poor and unkept. But the woman before him now looks impeccable and sweet.
“This is your car key,” Jace offered her. Since they have to act officially in the office, she has to come to the office on her own and return as well.
Arianna placed a hand on her chest. A car key? She collected it and hugged Jace “Thank you darling. I love you” she chimed, kissing his chin.
She quickly cleaned the lipstick that touched his chin. Jace smiled and said “you’re welcome my love. I will leave earlier than you. So meet me in the office” he said.
They came downstairs and Jace took a few pieces of pizza and a glass of beverages. He stood up and kissed Arianna’s temple.
He left. When Arianna stepped out, twenty minutes later, she was dazed when she saw that the car Jace bought for her was a Lamborghini.
This car was too expensive for her. She walked around it and was all smiles. Jace bought her a brand new Lamborghini? She opened the driver’s door and peeped in.
Wow, her status has changed. She’s a different woman now. Her life has taken a positive change. She wanted to get in when one of the bodyguard said “The chauffeur will drive you wherever you want to go”
Arianna wanted to say no but remembering that Jace would be upset with her again, she said okay. The chauffeur came over and she was dazed when she realised that the chauffeur was none other than Jerome, one of the bodyguards.
She nodded and slid into the passenger’s seat. He drove her to the company and she got in. The security guards didn’t recognise her at first.
But after the car was parked in the parking lot and she stepped out, one of the security guards squinted his eyes, isn’t this woman Miss Jason?
“Excuse me, are you Miss Jason?” He asked and Arianna immediately recognised where he was heading with his question.
“That’s right,” Arianna replied. Even the way she looked, walked and talked was entirely different from the way it used to be.
“I’m sorry, you cannot go in ” the security declared. He came over and stood, “we’re doing our job and we have an order from the CEO not to let you in. I’m sorry you have have to leave”
Arianna felt embarrassed. She looked around and saw a few of the employees staring at her strangely. She returned her gaze to the security guard that talked to her directly.
“Can you place a call across to President Chase Hudson if I should be allowed in?” Arianna requested but the securities debunked immediately.
“It doesn’t work that way ma’am. If he really wanted you in, he would have called and informed us ahead of time. But now, we can’t call him. Please leave, our jobs are at stake” the security guards ordered.
Jerome saw and heard the security guards and he went to the sidelines to call “is she with you?” Jace asked immediately and he answered the phone.
“Yes, boss. But the security guards won’t let her in. Ma’am is being embarrassed” he said and Jace said okay and hung up.
Arianna had returned to the car and slid in. She expected Jace to have handled it before she arrived. She expected Jerome to start the car when he said “The boss has been notified”
She nodded.
Jace immediately called the security stand and ordered them to let Miss Jason in. If she leaves, they will lose their jobs. Hearing what the CEO said, the men were bewildered.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Sometimes ago, he told them not to let her in. Otherwise they will feel his wrath. But now, he said she mustn’t leave, otherwise they will lose their job.
They came over to where the car was parked and said “We apologise ma’am for our rudeness and disrespect towards you. Please you can go in now” they bowed slightly.
“It’s alright, you’re simply following orders” Arianna declared. She walked delicately towards the elevator and arrived at the top floor.
As official as possible, Sara, the CEO secretary was waiting for her. She smiled when Arianna stepped out of the elevator. “Welcome back Miss Jason” She said and stretched out her hand for a handshake.
“Thank you, Sara. Glad to see you again” Arianna replied. She took her hand and Sara couldn’t hold back, she hugged Arianna.
“You’re looking gorgeous, Miss Jason” Sara complimented. She had always been a beautiful woman but not this glamorous. This Arianna Jason possesses another charm different from the Arianna she used to be.
“Thank you Sara,” Arianna said. Sara leads her to an office adjacent to Jace’s. The exciting part of it is that the offices are built with glasses but sound proof.
Everyone on the top floor could see each other. The CEO office is made with a different glass. He could see everyone and turned the office volume of any of the offices that he wanted.
It then means he could see and listen to whatever conversation that is being made. But none of them could see him from outside. The back of the glass was made from a translucent material.
He already sighted Arianna when she walked in. He wants to monitor her movement. He wants to know what she does and who comes to see her.
Arianna settled into her glass when Sara said “It’s not new to you anymore. But you need to introduce yourself to the CEO, again”
