Risk it All [GxG]

4| I need you

Andrea has this amusing gaze after seeing me to our meeting place "Let me guess, just woke up and you forgot to wear a short"

"I have a short" I say, pulling a chair across from her.

She nodded in pursing lip "So this is your choice of clothes whenever you're not in work?"

"Ugh. Drop it okay? I have no choice, I get butt hurt for watching her leave and probably meeting this side chick" why do I even share this one to the girl whom I met 24 hours ago?

"That's what you get for holding up to a relationship that wasn't functioning by two people" aww. I felt like Audrey possessed her body "So, what is this about?"

I inhaled locking gaze to her while my heart is pounding so fast in the walls of my chest. Do I have the courage to say this? Is this even worth the embarrassment to ask her to be part of my plan? She might laugh at me and questioning why should she agree on it, what could benefit her?

"Enlighten me Isabella. The way I see your action after seeing your girlfriend walking out to meet her fling you had this urge to get back on her by going out too. And the way I'm looking at it, you used me" that made me speechless, clearly my tongue is cut out, clearly guilt is taking over.

Drea hummed. She heaved a sighed, staring down the table, maybe thinking how I wasted her time for this bullshit.

"I want to be frank on you Bella. I checked your social accounts and I saw that you worked with one of the biggest chain company but I heard rumors about how employees was being underpaid. So I want to propose a plan, work in my upcoming business" now I completely lost my words and giving me the hard time to swallow my own saliva while processing the details that she said.

It took me a full five minutes finding how to compose a words again, "what? Why me?"

Drea leaned against the chair, sitting comfortably, "Well Ms. Reeds, I just feel like you need to be save, to give a shot but to top it all? You are underpaid and undervalued. And oddly I felt you want me to help you out to your girlfriend" she's so honest that it hurts my ego "so what do you say? Is it a deal Miss Reed?"

💔

"Isabella" Drake place down the filed tower of folders in my desk with a smirk in his damn face "I need you to finish all of that today"

I look at the file with a gasped because what he's asking is impossible but also out of my work line
"...but drake--"

He didn't wait but instead turned around after letting out a conceited smirk....I stared to his back while clenching my fist with this raging emotion and honestly? I had enough of this shit with all of my problems compiling like a mountain of bullshit. As if everyone is taking me as a joke, invaluable and nothing!

So, for the first time, I stand up for myself then call out his name "Drake" and watching him turning back at me in bored expression.

"What?" He asked after sighing.

My heart is thumping so fast right now while staring back at him, "I quit" I firmly say with all of my teammates attention turning to both of us but he just smirk it off while crossing his arms over the chest "I'm serious. I'm quitting this damn job. So find someone to fill in" I leaned down to pick up my bag that I wasn't aware of his big steps back to my table.

"Do you think that's funny?" Drake slamming his hand to the table and making everything on it bouncing while few fell down in the floor "You're quitting in the middle of our upcoming product launching?! Tell me Isabella, who's gonna take charge of the photoshoot? Videography, marketing ads and store auditing? So stop acting like a brat and do your job!"
