Emerald's POV
The old guy directed the beast and I into a cabin which i thought was his. Once we were in, he then spoke in a low voice that was too dangerous for my convience, " You two have been acting like children, i don't want the firm to go in the hands of irresponsible people" and he looked at the beast with cold eyes but i could see the glint of happiness in them hidden deep inside. It seemed he loved teasing his the beast. I love this old man he seems to love bullying this beast how cool. He does deserve some torture, actually that would be an understatement according to me.
That's when it hit me, this beast is related to the old man. I'm doomed in this firm if i'm working anywhere near him!!
I was lost in my own thoughts until i heard some shouting in my way that's when i realised the beast is yelling at the old man. The old man raised a hand in a manner to stop him talking and he did. I was surprised the beast could even follow some orders, "Funny," i evilly thought in my head.
I saw the old man now approaching me and wondered what he had to say to me. Maybe never show your face in this firm ever again or something, but his words actually shocked me, he said that, " I would want you to be my silly grandson, Carter's secretary if you wouldn't mind?"
Without a second thought i said, Yes, cause i really needed a job currently. Then after a few moments she realised what she had gotten herself into, and she literally face palmed herself, and mentally cursed herself.
Both the beast and the old man looked at her with their best look, that clearly told, "ARE YOU NUTS?" All she managed to do was give them a smile which she thought was reassuring.
Carter's POV
As soon as i realised what he spoke to her, i wanted to break her to an extent that she would beg me to kill her but i wouldn't, i smirked at my own ideas on how to do that.
She was still standing there, thinking about something only she knows what. If this is what she wanted, then i'm gonna give exactly that, i thought to myself. I saw grandpa leave and thought now was the time to tell her to backoff. She was still lost in her own thought, so i cleared my throat to get her attention. She was still in deep thought so i cleared my throat louder and this time she turned around.
It was then, when i actually realised how beautiful she was. She had the most adorable eyes i had ever seen, they were a shade of green but neither too dark nor too light, not too bright nor too dull and had tiny flakes of gold and i should say she looked beautiful. Her nose was small like a little button and adorable as hell. Her hair was reddish-brown which was tied in a messy bun. She had worn dark black jeans, yellow-gold half sleeved shirt and a scarf that was black with yellow polka dots. The shirt brought out her eyes and she looked amazing.
I realised i was oogling at her and stopped what i was doing. I cleared my throat again and asked her what her name was instead of telling her to get away from here. She spoke in a soft voice but gave me a dead look, Emerald, Emerald Colton.
I then came back to my senses and told her to listen to me carefully. I then started to speak. "Look Emerald i cannot fire you since my grandpa is the one who assigned you to this job of yours but if you willing agree to resign then i would pay you for that, so do you agree with me or not?" I couldn't hide my curiousity as i asked her if she would agree or not.
She looked at me as if she was going to swallow me whole. She then spoke in a calm voice, "Look whoever you are dude i don't take money from people just as a favour, let me make myself clear, i don't like favours and for your answer i will not agree with your terms, last but not the least from when should be starting to work, if you say i could start from now. Thank you for listening."
I lost my temper and told her, "So you would not agree, who the heck do you think you are? You've not yet seen the real me." She the chuckled and said, "Yeah, right beast." sarcasm dripped in every word she said.
I looked at her again now completly out of mind and told her, "You asked for this, in 15 days you would resign yourself, are you ready for a challenge?"
She looked at me and said and if i don't you give 50% of this company agreed or not?
I looked at her and said, "OH, IT'S ON." GAME ON.
