Chapter 14: Is Theo despicable as what Oliver said?
"Oliver, Heartle and Loris, proceed to the meeting area with Bea." Theo glance at Estelle while smirking. "Estelle will have the orientation with me."
Nanlaki ang mata ng lahat. Estelle is slowly grinding her teeth as she narrowed her eyes. Celestine and Zoe glanced at each other while raising their brow. Oliver bit his lip as he stared at Estelle.
"Genial! Hasta luego." Theo turned his body around. "Ms. Secretary, in my office now!"
Estelle rolled her eyes and started strolling together with Theo. Theo used his card to open his office and then they let themselves in. Theo directly proceeded into his swivel chair and Estelle remained in her spot.
Theo intertwined his hands and put in on the table. He looked at Estelle, eye to eye. "Let's talk about my rules."
Estelle rolled her eyes and so Theo raised his brow. Estelle move into the chair and sat on it. "Don't roll an eye on—"
"And then, what?" Estelle said while looking at the glass window and her face is back to being a poker face.
Theo slanted his head and look at Estelle with a narrowed eyes. "Don't you ever cut me off."
Estelle immediately turned her head on him. She raise her brows and overlapped her right leg into the other. "So if I did?"
Theo smirked at her. "It's considered as failing as my secretary. That only means one thing, the wicked spin."
Estelle's legs began to shake but she kept her face straight and emotionless. She pulled her hand and put it into her thighs to put a pressure. Estelle look away and sigh.
"You will report here" —Theo thump his both hands on the table—"at six and leaves when I said so."
Estelle immediately turn her head. She clenched her jaw and put her left hand on the table. "Too much."
Theo thumped his hands once again. "That's not too much. In fact," —Theo stood up— "you are sticking with me because you are my Secretary. It's your job to serve me and the campus." He opened a drawer and grab a catalogue. He slam it on the table. "That's the list of your job plus I have some add on to go."
"You are my secretary and I'm the boss. What I want you to do is that you must not say no to me and my decision, unless I say so." Theo sit on the table. "Don't you dare do dirty things behind my back because if you will, death is fast approaching." Theo stand once again. "You will remind me every morning what's my schedule for that day." He sit in his swivel chair and put his hands on the table. "And I will tell you the rest next time because I'm tired of talking." Theo point the door. "Go get me a bottled water in the fridge."
"Wow! Just wow. My work defines more likely as a personal assistant and not a secretary," Estelle thought while maintaining her usual face.
Estelle stood up and walked into the door. She opened it and slam it, but no noise echoed because it's not a wooden door. She immediately approached the fridge and grabbed a bottle. The other officers look at Estelle with shoulders down.
Estelle opened the door and found Theo reading some documents. She put the bottled water on the table and walk away into, she assumed, her seat.
"Who do you think will open the bottle for me?" Theo said.
Estelle stopped walking and turn her body. She raised her brow and slightly slant her head. Theo glanced at Estelle and then at the bottle. Estelle twitched her lips and started walking into the table. She opened the water and put it on the furniture.
"You should hire me as your nanny if you want me to do things like this!" Estelle said while her hands are on her waist.
Theo raised her head and smirked at her. "Do you want me to turn your fantasy into reality?"
Estelle let out a bold sigh. She stood properly and grimaced at Theo. She is grinding her teeth slowly and initiated a staring contest with him. Theo accepted by staring at Estelle too. Both are staring and no one wants to lose. Both are leaning forward to each other while their eyes are lock on each others.
"Uhm."
The staring contest was cut off by an unwanted visitor. Both of them put their eyes together into the visitor. Estelle brought back her poker face as Theo stood up.
"What do you want, Oliver?"
Oliver forced a smile. "Look, I didn't mean to cut your staring contest but I just want to say that"—he took a deep sigh and gazed at the both of them—"Estelle you must not stare at The—"
Hindi na nakapagpatuloy si Oliver dahil tumama na sa kanya ang bukas na bote ng tubig. Nanlaki ang mata ni Oliver. His uniform is totally ruined by the water. He is scanning his uniform while his eyes are big as a tarsier's. He sighed once again and glanced at Estelle.
"What?" Estelle said.
Oliver closed his eyes while grinding his teeth. Oliver tapped his lips together and walk out of the room. Estelle overlapped his left leg into the right thigh.
"Your savage, Estelle. Since I saw the brutal side you—"
Estelle rolled her eyes that's why Theo cut himself. "Another add on to his rules?"
"Don't you dare roll your eyes on me, Estelle. I'm—"
Estelle look at him flatly. "Your Theo Vuitton, the SAC School Monitor and my boss. I am Estelle Clemence your slave, secretary rather."
Namula ang mukha ni Theo. His nerves are visible through his skin. "Don't you dare cut me off," Theo said while grinding his teeth.
"Alright," Estelle said looking away and she rolled her eyes after.
Theo thumped his hand on the table and made a loud bang. "Don't you dare talk to me like a bored animal."
Estelle turned her head slowly. She slanted her head and pouted slightly. "Am I?"
Theo stood up and lean closer to her. "Don't you dare use your tricks on me, Estelle! I know you are giving me a bullshit! Stop it!"
Estelle put her right leg down and stood up. She leaned closer to Theo and stared at him intently. "What tricks? I am just being me, no more no less."
Theo leaned closer and their nose are just an inch away. "Fuck your attitude, Estelle," Theo whispered. "Stop yourself or I'm going to punish you the way I want!"
Estelle lined her lips. "Like what?" she whispered as well. "Kiss me?" She leaned back and put her hands on her pocket. "Come on, dude. That's so used already!"
Theo smirked all of a sudden. "Who told you, I'm going to kiss you?" Estelle shrugged her shoulder and leaned closer.
"Then what?"
Theo leaned closer and their nose are just a centimeter away from each other. "Believe me when I say, I'll do much more than that! Cuídate."
