Chapter 12

Laxton Hendrix is still weighing things with her. He knew that one wrong move and she will leave as fast as she can. Since he didn't bring his own car, billy is her driver right now and they are using the company car provided for him.

He took a deep sigh since he didn't know what to say just to calm her nerves. He want to dress her up so that his blind date would be intimidated but how?

Laxton Hendrix meet Billy's questioning eyes. He knew that his secretary is not used to see him silent and he want to ask him but couldn't. In the end, he decided to just text him.

He typed:

Hey, Bill! How were you able to calm down your girlfriend when she's annoyed?

Billy:

I just hugged her, tell her how much I love her or I will buy her comfort food. Well, does it mean she's your girl now? How come the mighty Laxton Hendrix had a girlfriend when he's so allergic for blond dates?

Laxton glare at Billy on the mirror when their eyes met. Billy smirked as he quietly tease him and he even pointed her using his naughty eyes.

"Can't you just answer my question, Billy? Is it too hard not to tease your annoyed boss Everytime?!"

Czarielle almost jumped on her seat when she heard him yell. Temporarily, her annoyance towards Freeda was swept away by the wind. It's the first time that she heard him yell to anyone and she's surprised that his commanding voice sounds like a thunder when he's using his authority towards someone. She suppress herself not to take a peek on him. She didn't want to be the center of his anger.

She was actually surprised that Billy wasn't scared at all since his grin only grew bigger. Isn't he afraid to get fired? Well, if too suitable for his work then, no one can replace him specially with that temper of his boss.

Billy stopped the car in front of a boutique before he asked her. "Excuse me Miss. What is your comfort food? My boss don't want to asked it directly that's why he texted me."

"Billy!" Again, Laxton Hendrix's voice echoed like a thunder.

"I don't know exactly what my comfort food is since I love to eat without moderation when I'm upset. I don't have any food allergy so I eat almost everything that is edible." She smiled briefly to ease the tension.

Czarielle saw Laxton Hendrix threatened his secretary by showing his fist. He looks like a dumb kid making tantrums.

"Well, boss has a blind date today and he needs distraction that's why we came all the way from his meeting and it took us three hours before he fetch you back in the PhotoShop. And forgive me if you think it's rude, but my boss would like you to dress up." Billy explained with his hands swaying in the air.

"Is there something wrong with my purple summer dress? Is this too plain for his taste?" She raised her left eye brows before she faced him. "What? Do I also need to match your taste on the dress that I should wear? Huh! You're the one who need me so why would I change to suit you when your not even my boyfriend!" Czarielle's face was red because she's very offended. "That's why you, rich kids are always belittling the poor girls like me is because you can buy all the things you want with your parents money!"

"Sorry, Miss! If you don't want to get change, we won't force you to. Just watch what you say, please." Billy's face shows that he's uneasy on what he had heard.

"Why? Isn't it true that he still spends his parents money? Well---" She was shocked when Laxton Hendrix went out of the car and he rudely open the car door on her side.

"Get out of the car, now!"

Czarielle quickly went out of the car. Her was dropped open because of his sudden outburst.

He even went to the driver's side and kicked out his secretary, too, before he drove away.

"That jerk! I really hate you, Laxton Hendrix! I don't care if you're a CEO or what but I really, really hate you, dumbass!" She use all her energy to shout back at him even though he won't even hear it.

"Look, I'm sorry Miss. It's my fault. I shouldn't have asked that in the first place. And you're also at fault since you even mention his parents---"

Czarielle don't want to hear anything anymore even from his secretary that is obviously taking his side so she walked out. When she's two shops away, she remembered that she didn't bring her bag with her, hence she didn't have any money to even took a taxi!

If she'll came back to their Photo studio, it's either Freeda will still tease her to death and she'll enjoy herself from making her a laughing stock or she will see her flirting with that so-called famous singer who doesn't even know how to say sorry.

She stomped her feet and she had no choice but to walk towards Billy again, who's like a statue while watching her marching back to him.

She better get her revenge on his boss to ease her anger one and for all--anger towards Freeda the flirt and for his rude CEO boss!

"I need money to get a taxi. Let your boss pay for it later." She showed her palm in front of his chest as she watch him closely while he's checking his wallet.

Unfortunately, there are only seven dollars on his black semi-leather wallet.

Czarielle let out an animal growl from her mouth as she slide down the pavement with her hands on her hair. How dumb of her to think that richman would give his secretary his own credit card to pay for travel expenses!

"I only have a few dollars left so I can't at least take you somewhere to eat. I'm sorry!" Billy sit beside her on the gutter.

"It's my fault that I didn't think of bringing my bag before I came with that jerk! I taught he won't leave me on the streets alone since he had a car but he doesn't have a tiny bit of conscience!"

"Do you want to get back at him, miss? I know a way to do so." Billy's eyebrows went up and down a few times and he smirked.

"Can you just call me Cza or Czarielle instead is Miss? It sounds weird. Only the rich businessman's children should be called like that and I'm not!"

"So are you up for it? If not, I'll just took a taxi and I can pay the remaining fare on our office. I assume you can also walk back to your Photo Studio, right?" Billy grimaced as he patiently wait for my answer.

"Well, I really want to get revenge on that Laxton Hendrix and I don't want to walk back to our shop. So, where wis his blind date again?" Czarielle stood up, offering handshake as a truce.

"It will be a few minutes drive from here. His blind date always took place in the famous SteakHouse---"

"Can you just shut up and help me get a taxi?"

Billy secretly smiled at her. She can be a dangerous mortal enemy and an ally at the same time, huh? Maybe, just maybe, they can be an ally to bully

his boss.

A taxi came to a stop in front of them and she quickly went inside. "What are you waiting for? Get in!"
