Chapter 6: Zoned out

Venessa's pov.

Miss Williams kept talking but I wasn't hearing her.

I was in the moment of kissing Layla but the movie in my head,

Didn't end there.

It had gotten to my favorite part when Miss Williams snapped her fingers in my face.

"Miss Dove? We are here."

Said Miss Williams before going around to open my door.

"Thanks Madame." I said and got out of the car.

"It's nothing, I apologize for ruining your plans,

But I couldn't go against my father.

If had power than I would of recommend another time.

But No one can negotiate with Walter."

Said Rebecca and I picked up her angry tone when she mentioned her father's name.

Than she quickly masked it with a warm smile.

"It's no problem Madam, this is an honor for me,

I'm sorry for giving a feeling that it's not.

I promise you that I won't disappoint you."

I said professionally and greatfully.

"I don't doubt it Miss Dove and don't bother,

Starting a conversation with the twins.

My siblings are very arrogant and might ignore you."

Said Miss William before smiling apologetically,

Like I had walked into a lion's den.

"If they greet me, what should I do? Do you want me to ignore them."

I asked and watched her grimaced before shaking her head.

"That wouldn't be wise they are Walter's favorite,

Getting on their bad side could cost you your job.

Talk to them only if they talk to you. But tell me if they offend you,

Don't challenge them."

Said Rebecca Williams my boss who looked as nervous as I felt.

We walked in and Rebecca was hugged by two tall girls who looked like runway models.

"Ugh Flora and feyona give me a break!"

She squeeled under them and I laughed.

I quickly covered my mouth and calmed myself when the identical looking girls stared at me.

"Beccs you both us a present! ain't you the best sister in the world?"

Said Flora as she unwrapped herself and walked to stand infront of me.

"Not bad, not bad at all. She looks alright."

Beemed Feyona who grabbed a strand of my hair and smelled it.

"How embarrassing Feyona, are you a wolf or something?

Can't you see how uncomfortable you making her."

Said Flora clicking her tongue in annoyance.

"Wait until Walter sees what you are doing to the company's assistance."

Said Rebecca smirking.

The twins backed away frightened once they heard our dad's name.

"Uhm you won't tell him right? We were just messing around."

Said Feyona looking like she wanted to cry.

"Ofcorse not, why would I want my sisters to receive brutal punishment?"

Asked Rebecca pretended to care.

"Thanks Becca, Feyona keep your distance, you know what happens when dad gets mad."

Said Flora who trembled at the thought as goosebumps covered her skin.

"Don't remind me. I haven't forgotten trust me.

But will just talking get in trouble?"

Asked Feyona as they both looked at Rebecca.

" I guess not. " Said Rebecca through gritted teeth.

"Miss Dove let's not keep Walter waiting."

Said Rebecca and went ahead as I quickly followed her.

What a save! What kind of temptation is this?

The Twins are nothing like I had imagined they were magistic as hell.

My heart skipped at the fact that I forgot about Layla for a split second,

And I instantly felt guilty for being attracted to them.

I didn't understand myself at all because I was attracted to Rebecca as well.

This was very bad but my feelings for Layla are too strong for me to betray her.

But Lord I'm not blind! These William heirs are hot like volcano lava.

A beautiful man stopped us blocking Rebecca's way.

"No one told me that my little sister was coming."

He said but I don't know how he got it to sound like an insult.

Rebecca unexpectedly smiled and hugged his waist.

He hugged her back kissing the top of her head in a fatherly way.

"Whose your pretty friend? Is she the one we are waiting for?"

Said the beautiful man whose name is Fin.

Rebecca flinched as she pulled me with her hurriedly.

We walked through the door and saw a woman my age sitting on his lap.

Is that his sugar baby? I'm not even mad.

The man Is hot for his age and loaded.

"Father meet Venessa Dove my assistance."

Rebecca said before tilting her head in respect.

"Yarris get off me, let me see this beauty up close."

Said Thee Walter fucken Williams.

Who I couldn't believe was infront of me, I must be dreaming!

"You have good taste like your father Becca.

What striking beauty!"

Said Walter looking at my face professionally.

"Welcome to my home Venessa, I have a feeling this is not the last time we will be seeing each other.

Have you ever been with an older man?"

Said Walter and Fin choked on the red wine he was drinking.

"No one is able to take a joke these days, Rebecca you can wipe that angry expression off your face."

Said Mr. Walter before rolling his eyes.

"You are currently working from home and only come in to submit work?"

He asked lifting up his eye brow and twisting his mouth in disapproval.

"Yes Sir." I said looking at him nervously.

"Huh! You must be on vacation than and getting paid for free!"

He said before looking at Rebecca in disbelief.

"So you hired your girlfriend to help you spend my money huh?"

He asked and looked at her in disappointment.

"Miss Dove is not my girlfriend father, she finished 3months of work in 3days.

I told her to submit next week to test her.

I was going to give her an extension but she didn't struggle like I expected."

Said Rebecca defending me. I was moved by her kind words.

"Fin did you collect the folder from the company before coming here?"

Asked Mr. Walter's looking at his oldest son.

"Certainly Father, it's on your desk infront of you."

Said Fin smirking at the fact that Mr. Walter didn't see it.

Mr. Walter looked at each page and would stop to look at me.

He closed the file getting up.

"Congradulations Venessa you've been promoted to the HR department manager.

Your job is to check other people's work before bringing it to me personally.

I don't care that you've just started, I have an eye for powerful employees.

Becca you better find another assistance.

Venessa's is now your colleague.

Don't waste her time or stupid errands, she now answers directly to me."

Said Mr. Walter dropping the bomb and leaving us too stunned to speak.

Finn broke the silence by congratulating me.

I could see the respect in his eyes when he smiled at me.

"A wise decision father." Said Rebecca out of nowhere.

"You must be fuming inside little sister.

Father just took your favorite assistance.

I admire how much self control you have,

But your pissed off face betrays you."

Said Fin before Laughing at Rebecca.

"The self control that you personally lack Son.

And you wonder why Rebecca is the new CEO and not any of you.

Rebecca would never embarrass me,

I can't say the same for the rest of you.

Even in a serious moment like this you have your head in the damn clouds!"

Said Mr. Walter making his opinion of Fin's behavior known.

His deep frown and angry eyes sobered up Fin and he immediately dropped his smile.

"Rebecca you are too good for this family.

I don't want your siblings to influence you,

Dragging you to their level.

It's exactly why you stayed with your mother and I refused them to visit you."

Said Mr. Walter coldly.

Fin's jaw clenched in anger and Rebecca fought back tears.

Mr. Walter was a very cruel man!

His kids loved each other but are purposely separated.

To see who will emerge with leadership skills.

I don't want to work for him but his a powerful man.

This is a rare opportunity as toxic as it is.

I looked at the time and saw that only an 1hour has past.

Some how it had felt like 4 hours with the chilly atmosphere that Mr. Walter created.

I felt sorry for his children who were just trump cards to him.

"Venessa let me not keep you. I'm sure you have places to be."

Said Walter who got up and left.

"Becca don't let him get to you like that.

His not worth the stress beside I stopped caring years ago."

Said Fin who hugged Rebecca in support.

"Miss Dove I'll drop you at the office and congratulations."

Said Rebecca Williams who is no longer my boss.

I had a feeling that being hired by Mr. Walter directly would push my limits.

I take it working from home and only coming to submit was a privilege of the past.

Now I was a senior manager which would make me sweat blood.
