CH 46 KISS-OVER-COFFEE

Hi, y'all!
*fanatically running and hiding behind the bush while whispering* Yeah, I'm just gonna stay here until you finish this chapter!
=======================

I entered V's cabin to find it empty. Not just her chair but the whole cabin. I recalled her words of Ashton dismissing bunch of workers together when he checks up on departments. Did he fire her too? My heart raced. She is one of those workers who actually do their jobs seriously. What was he thinking when he fired her!? Oh, we'll have to talk about this. I walked out of the cabin to come face to face with Zara whose hands were filled with files.

"Rachel, good morning!" she smiled at me.
"Not a good morning! The CEO fired Violet..."
"Rach, that is..."
"Not fair! I know!" I cut her
"No, I was.."
"That damn CEO needs to know how good she is in her work and maybe then he will hire her back." I cut her again "He has to. I'm going to talk to him! He should... "

"No! Listen! Rach!" Zara cut me off this time "You can't do that. She isn't fired! She is promoted to Manager from Assistant Manager."
"Oh, lord! Are you serious? Where is she? I wanna talk to her!" I chimed
"Yes, I am serious and I am her personal assistant now. She is in her new cabin, Mr. Perve's old cabin. I am heading there." she smiled at me as she walked towards the cabin.
"Oh, thanks, Zara." I smiled at her as I walked beside her. "Let me help you with these" I gestured towards the files but she politely denied.

I walked into Mr. Nor- V's new cabin and saw her reading something on the screen. Looks like she started working on her first day as Manager right away. She was known for her hard work through out the floor. One thing we had in common. We both took our works seriously. Maybe that's why Ashton chose her as manager. I just hope I would be able to become one someday. She hadn't observed me yet, engrossed in her work. "Heard we have a new manager now." My voice brought her mind back to her cabin. "Also heard she is very bosy." I grinned as I sat on the arm of a chair in front of her.

"Well, she is, when her employees don't do their work seriously. So, you won't have to worry. Oh, wait, you won't have to worry at all because she won't be babysitting you anymore. You'll be under a different assistant manager now."she informed
"What? No!" I got up and exclaimed
"I refuse to work with anyone other than you. I am not! No! Nah! No no no!"

"Rachel, I'm the manager now. I handle assistant managers now. And they handle junior managers and interns." she explained. She got up from her seat and walked towards me. "You are doing so well, I'll make sure you'll be selected as assistant manager in less than six months. Don't worry, you'll come under me after your promotion."
"Who will be my temporary boss?" I asked.

"James Collins, I'm sorry" she kept one hand on my shoulder
"That creep that asked me out last month. Oh, no! I hate him. And he hates me because I laughed at him." I recalled.

"I am sorry, Rach, but don't worry because you're going to work for me again soon." she put her hand on my shoulder, "And let me remind you, you not only laughed at him but also said and I quote 'Hahahaha, oh, you're serious! Well, this is awkward. Um.. I'm gonna run off now!', literally running away! So, I think he has some reason to be irritated by your presence."
Seeing my distasteful glare she spoke again, "How about we go to this new coffee shop across the building and celebrate my promotion, also lighten up your mood a little?"

"Okay, but I will have to report to James first, don't I?" I asked, disinterestedly.
"Technically, no. I am officially promoted at 09:00 A.M. so you are still under my control." she flicked her hair dramatically.
"Let's go then, boss!" I excitedly exclaimed.

I texted Ashton about my plans in the lift because I was certain the my werewolf bodyguards were still in bed, snoring away. It annoyed me beyond tolerance how Ashton could be bossy and control my life or know about it but I had to make peace with it because I knew he just wanted my safety. That is the only reason why I hadn't let my impatience get the best out of me in front of him. That and he is a lot stronger that I could ever be. He could just flick his hand in air and the wind increased due to it will send me flying across the room.
