Chained to Mr. Billionaire

CHASING FIRE

I walked out the elevator completely ashamed to what I am wearing. This black, short, and tight dress is what my dressers made me wear because of the guests who are coming today for business. And apparently, the girls are glaring at me. Some male models that I for sure haven't seen before, are also inside the room. The odd thing is that Miles was nowhere to be seen at the moment. So the only thing that left for me, is this male models who stares at me indifferently and the girls who throws daggers at me with their looks. I looked down into my black heels and locked the hair that falls into my face on the back of my ears.

"Yes, Mr. Williams. They are on their way" My eyes widened as my body froze. Snapping my head up instinctively to see Ryder Williams, our boss is walking with another man in suit. The same man who had hired me. Mr. Ryder Williams nodded to the man as they continue to walk into my path. I was currently panicking and the only thing that worked into my mind right now is to turn around and walk as fast as I could to walk to the emergency exit. But I was then accidentally got bumped into someone else instead. Making me almost tumbled down but good thing am arm caught me.

"Leila? What's wrong?" I raised my head to see Miles looking at me with confusion in his eyes. Him still holding my back to not let me fall off the ground. I slightly look back to see him nearing us. Cursing underneath my breath. I don't want to be caught up right now. Not now that I was planning on showing my work to Veronica Mallion. I look at him and then looked behind me. He did the same and as soon as five seconds, he understood what I meant and he turned me around. Walked forward with his hand clasped into mine as he walked into a group of people.

Nothing that it was slightly a bad move because as soon as we walked, we passed by Ryder Williams and the man beside him. I just hope he didn't even notice me nor look at me. Or else it would be the end of the world for me. I felt Miles gently squeezed my hand. I looked up at him and he smiled at me.

"Come on, I always got your back" He said loud enough for me to hear. Staring up at me. I took a deep breath and smiled at him back. Nodding my head at him. It was then cut short when I heard Andre's voice booming into the hallway. As usual he is mad at everyone of us. Making me feel tensed again. And as for Miles, he's calm and attentive. Shocking that he indeed could tolerate a person like Andre. Or he was just used to it. As Andre never did change throughout the time.

"Now, I want everyone of you to proceed to the photoshoot area. Chop chop! We don't have time to waste!" He screamed as usual. All of us quickly moved and went over to the photoshoot area. This time it was a red throned chair on the middle with a royalty wallpaper on the back as the background. Everyone went on whispering to each other as the atmosphere became tense. Everyone of us looked like nervous. Well except for one person that we all know who it is, as she begin to walk to the camera men and placed a hand on the back side of the chair. She began smiling and tucking her hair behind her ear while she was saying something. Why do I feel like she would sabotage any of us?

"Good luck" I hear Miles says behind me. I look up and smiled at him. He squeezes my arm before walking towards Andre before he began to scream again and ask for Miles. Well we needed to hurry up for us to accomplish something. I sighed and played with my hair as nervousness came to me. I nearly jumped when Andre spoke yet again. Calling Elena. She walked confidently to Miles. Who sat on the chair. Crossing his legs and holding a glass with brownish liquid inside it. Elena placed a hand into his hair and looked at the camera in a seductive and fierce look.

I only had just noticed that Andre was nowhere to be found at the moment. It was somewhat odd because he used to be here all the time when the photoshoot takes place. Maybe he was really busy today. Knowing there are special guests who would come here. Or maybe they were indeed here and was just touring around. I just hope he wouldn't see me. Or at least if he did see me, he won't recognize me. But it was unlikely that he wouldn't. I bit my lip.
