A Perfect Life Without You (Ongoing)

Chapter 8: Locked Out

Orion's POV

"I am not done with you yet."

Her eyes widen with fear and horror. Annarose opened her mouth to speak, but I quickly started walking out of the congress room. I don't think I can handle more bullshit from her.

"I'll go talk to the receptionist. Go wait in the car. Do you think you can find the way, or do you need me to guide you?" She rolled her eyes of my ironic comment and crossed her arms. Such a teenager.

I walked the long way down to talk to Hill, the receptionist. Oddly enough, I trust her. I hate the woman of course, but her enthusiasm for work is undeniable. I respect her for that. She works hard to perfect the job she is doing. To be honest Hill looked pissed with Annarose, but who wouldn't be? I need to know exactly what happened.

The stupid stunt that moron of a girl just pulled off, can't happen again. It's crucial that we keep up the excellent work and maintain our reputation, and especially don't cause any big scenes. That girl is lucky she isn't rotting away in jail.

Hill smiled a tight smile to me when I arrived at the reception. "Sir! What can I do for you?" She said eagerly. "I need to know the details of what the hell Annarose did today." Hill looked confused at me and I quickly got the picture.

"I mean, the girl that broke into my building." Could I be clearer? Hill suddenly realized what I was talking about. "Ah, her! It started slow. She walked inside and claimed that she knew you, and arrived here in your company! Of course, I knew that this was all nonsense. I have plenty of experience with these unbearable girls, and their uncontrollable minds!" I rubbed the side of my forehead in frustration. "Keep on going Hill." I said through gritted teeth.

Hill cleared her throat and blinked disturbingly through her thick glasses. Holy Mother God, how can she see through that construction on her face. The woman is good at her job, what more can I say...
"Certainly Sir. Since I knew that this girl was shady, I confronted her and told her to get out of the building if she didn't have an appointment. She did leave of course, but the next time I saw her, she was running towards the elevator and already on the way up! The girl even had the nerve to smack her butt at me! Can you believe such behavior?!" Hill cringed.

Annarose did what? I frowned but became considerably more entertained. The little innocent girl smacked her ass at an employee? Well, now I am intrigued. I held my laughter and instead replace it with a small hum. "And then I'm guessing she got to the top and somehow found me."

A small disappointed nod came from Hill. "Yes sir. We tried to reach her before she found you, but we were too late. I hope you know that I tried my very best, and that I put your security a number one priority. I had no intention to let this... shameless scum harass you like this! Because of my great abilities I know that-"

I quickly put my hand up. "Alright, Jesus Christ, let's stop there." She really doesn't know when to stop. A customer approached the desk signaling me that it's time for me to leave. "Don't let this happen again. I want you to consider our security situation and find a better, more practical solution. Obviously, what we have now is not good enough since a kid is able to get away." Hill took eagerly notes on a small block. "Right away, Sir."

Amused and curious with a chance of mood, I walked my way back to the car. I felt the breezy air hit my face. For the first time, I didn't want to murder Thor almighty or whatever. I barely felt the wind, which was an unusual feeling on a freezing day like this.

Not long after, I saw my black car with a small figure sitting in the passenger seat. Her eyes accidentally met mine, but in a blink of an eye she looked away. I hope she is ashamed of what she did. She damn well should be.
