My Arrogant Boss

Chapter Three

JENNIE

As Mrs. Manoban leaves the room, that arrogant boss of mine looks at me with a mischievous smirk on her face. I think she wants to make me feel scared of that, but guess what? I'm not scared even a bit, so I look at her back as I pace to sit on the couch, still giving her a steady gaze.

She returns my gaze, also sitting on her swivel chair with both hands under her head and legs on the edge of her working desk. That's a rude arrogant attitude I've ever seen in my entire life.

"How much?" She asks.

"How much? What?!" I don't know what's she talking about.

"Don't be innocent, kitten. How much did you get from my mom? I know you get at least ten thousand dollars from her or maybe more to make you even sacrifice yourself like this." She asks with one of her brows up, acting like she knows everything.

I get up from my seat instantly, pacing towards her table, "If that what you're thinking then stop it because I am not the person who gets money from someone without even working for them. And, again, I come here to work. NOT to exchange my body with that filthy money in case you forget of what I was talking to you a while ago." I finish as I put both of my hands on the elegant desk in front of her.

She was a little taken aback, still showing her smirk towards me, "We'll see, and I tell you this that I will never believe a girl like you."

"Believe it or not. It's not important." I glare at her.

She laughs and grabs a thick portfolio from the desk, handing it to me, "Apparently, you start your job today, right? So, hold this portfolio, we're going now. I need some rest, and I'll need those documents later."

I take from her hand as a realization hits me. That shit is so heavy, and she held it like it nothing.

Knowing that I have a struggle, she turns her heel to the door without glancing back, "Come on, we need to go."

I follow her in the elevator, but she stops me, "NO! You go by stairs."

"What! Are you kidding me? Your floor is on the 40th, and you told me to take the stairs?" I exclaim in disbelief.

"You heard me right, and don't take another elevator. If I know it, you'll have to walk from this floor again. Don't you dare call my mom because I am the one who sets the rule in this company." She says as she closes the elevator.

"You-" Before I could say anything, the door has already closed.

I sign in defeat. I can call Mrs. Manoban if I want to, but I don't. I am not afraid of her threatening; I just don't want to give her a problem because of her own daughter. Also, she just goes back a while ago.

So, I think I have no choice.

I walk down the stair until I reach the 30th floor. I think I can't walk anymore; my legs are trembling due to the weight of the portfolio. It's just one, but it's so heavy because of a ton of documents inside. But, do I really have another choice?

My head hurts as I continue to walk. Suddenly, my sight goes black, and I can't see anything, so I fall. As my head nearly hits the ground, a hand catches my waist from behind.

I look at an owner of the hand, seeing a handsome man with black hair looking at me with a worried expression. He helps me to sit on one of the stairs there.

"Thank you," I mumble, putting my hand on my head.

"Why didn't you take an elevator?" He asks, making me think about the blonde boss again.
