Christy’s POV
I quickly took a step back in disgust, while he stared at with a nerve racking grin.
"Things always go my way, so you don’t have a choice" he said before walking back to his chair, sat down and picked up his glass of wine.
His behavior was too unusual and I had this feeling that sothing bad was about to happen.
"Things could have gone differently if only you agreed to my offer" he said with a smile before slowly sipping his wine.
"I am not interested in your offer, Kendrick and I are very happy together" I replied with a fierce tone, doing my best to not appear scared.
"Happy together?" He asked with a chuckle.
"I have more important things to do," I said before turning around to leave the ssy study.
"You can put my offer into consideration" he said before I slamd the door shut.
I walked back to Grandpa’s room, he was still lying down but he looked better than before I left.
"I am back grandpa" I said with a smile and sat on the bed.
"You are a good child and I believe you will make the right decision" he suddenly said to with a smile.
I looked at his eyes and it felt like he could see through .
"I will, I promise" I promised with a smile and he nodded before closing his eyes to rest.
I stared at his face, wondering if I should tell Kendrick about his dad’s behavior.

Kendrick’s POV
"Isn’t she back yet?" I asked Evans when the eting was about to start and Ashley still hasn’t returned with the docunts.
"She told she was almost here when I called her," he replied while staring at the door repeatedly.
The clients were already waiting for and I hate being late, especially for sothing so important.
"Call her again, tell her to be here in two minutes or else...." I was interrupted by the sound of the door opening and Ashley walked in with a disheveled expression.
Her white shirt, which was best and clean before she left, was now wrinkled and dirty. Her left cheek was swollen with visible slap marks.
"What happened to you?" I asked her with a frown while Evans collected the docunt from her and checked it.
She kept mute and tears just spilled continuously from her eyes, she looked extrely pitiful. The tears mixed with the makeup she had applied, making her face a disgusting ss.
"If you won’t say anything, leave my presence as I have more important things to do" I said to her and prepared to leave after Evans confird that the docunt was okay.
She stared at with a shocked expression, like she expected to hug her or sothing.
"You might not believe sir" she said amidst sobs and she looked scared to say what happened.
"And how are you so sure?" I asked her with a frown.
"When I went to get the docunts, I entered your villa without knocking because I didn’t know you had soone in the house" she paused to wipe her tears.
I frowned as I looked at her disheveled appearance again, was she saying Christy did this to her?
"And then what happened?" I asked her with an impatient tone, I was already late for the eting and her hesitation was beginning to annoy .
"She accused of being a third party and started hitting . I explained to her that I was only your PA but she accused of getting the position just to seduce you.
She told to get my head out of the clouds and not dream of an office romance. She slapped severally before throwing out of the villa" she narrated while sobbing really hard.
Her eyes were swollen, plus the red swelling on her cheek from being slapped, she looked hideous and the thought of having anything to do with her made feel extrely disgusted.
"You said she attacked and accused you as soon as you entered the villa right?" I asked her and she nodded pitifully.
She slowly wiped her tears but more tears kept spilling out of her eyes and I was quite impressed.
Such an Oscar worthy performance.
"So how did you get the docunt?" I asked her and her expression froze. Her eyes moved around aimlessly, probably trying to co with an excuse.
"So she accused and attacked you, then when she was done, she allowed you to take the docunt before throwing you out?" I asked her with a smile and she just kept mute.
"I actually made a mistake, what happened was that I entered the villa and collected the docunt before she noticed that I was in the villa.
I held on to the docunt even when she slapped and accused because I know how important it was to get the docunt to you" she explained pitifully while wiping her tears.
I just stared at her and felt extrely annoyed. I hate dealing with people who think everyone is as stupid as them.
"It is quite surprising that you forgot such an important detail, sothing so traumatizing that happened to you less than an hour ago.
How am I supposed to trust you with the job of a PA, how am I sure you haven’t forgotten an important thing that might put this company in jeopardy?" I questioned her angrily and she fell on her knees in surprise.
"Sir, I have a very good mory and never forget anything. I have always had the best interest of the company in mind and will never do anything that will jeopardize it" she begged while sobbing loudly.
She continued crying but this ti, the tears were from genuine fear of losing her job.
"Evans, get a new PA, A man to be specific" I instructed before walking towards the door.
"Sir please, I am very sorry for lying. I promise to change and I will never do anything like this again" she blocked the door with her body while begging.
"Evans, plead with him for , for all the years we have been working together" she said to Evans but he just focused on preparing her discharge letter.
"Get out of the way!" I commanded and she moved away from the door with a fearful expression.
"Co to the conference room when you are done" I said to Evans before opening the door to leave.
" Is it a cri to love you? I have worked diligently for the past four years. You act like you don’t know I have feelings for you. What makes that girl better than ?!" Ashley questioned angrily, her face was now twisted in anger and looked even more disgusting.
" You really think I don’t know what you have been up to?
You sold company secrets last year and frad a junior for it because you needed money to treat the shaful disease you got from dating different n.
You also lied about being a graduate from Harvard, all your docunts are forged. You have been married twice and divorced because you couldn’t be committed.
Or is it the side deals you made to get extra money? Employing your illiterate family mbers? Or the fact that you sleep with a lot of the male interns despite knowing you have a sexually transmitted disease?.
I have been away from the company for three years but I know about every single thing you do. I was originally going to do a clean up of the staff this week and you are the first on my list of those that would be fired.
You just made your discharge faster by putting on this little drama and the reason I am not sending you to jail is because Evans pleaded for you" I listed out everything and her face turned pale.
She sat on the floor with a look of despair and I walked out of the office without a second glance at her.
"Very sorry for the delay gentlen" I apologized as soon as I entered the conference room.
"It’s no problem Manager Black, it’s good to see you again" Mr Patterson, the head of the partner company said with a smile.
"Okay, let’s begin" I said and they handed their proposal.
I went through the proposal and each page made frown deeper.
"Why do you think we will sign such a contract, Mr Patterson?" I asked him and the smile on his face vanished.
"Your PA, Miss Ashley, told that you accepted these terms" he said with a frown.
"Forr PA, and she never discussed anything with " I corrected him before throwing the proposal on the table.
" Let’s have this eting again, when you are ready to do business" I said as I got up from my seat.
"Mr Black, your company can’t cancel our agreent just like that" Mr Patterson said angrily and the others nodded.
"You never negotiated with my company, it was Ashley that gave you her words and I suggest you go find her" I replied to him with a frown.
" And you better go to the hospital for a checkup if you had any intimate relationship with her, you might still be able to get treated" I advised before leaving the conference room.
Ding!

I quickly made my way out of the company while calling my personal doctor.
