DEREK POV :
RING RING
“Hey, Shepherd…” Dave’s voice came energetic over the phone, and I hummed in surprise.
“Everything okay??” He usually doesn’t contact me at this hour, it is close to the Lunch Hour now.
“Yeah…
About that girl, I got something on her…”
Just as he spoke, my secretary entered and my eyes narrowed at her.
Is she doing something behind my back??
“How about Lunch?” I offered knowingly.
“Perfect, Shepherd…
Your treat, of course…” Dave added, before disconnecting the call.
BEEP
“I am going out for lunch…” I informed my secretary in a dark tone, unbothered by my foul mood, she nodded her head in obedience and left politely.
BOOM
What the hell has she done??
***
TICK … TOCK
Every passing second was getting heavier on me, the sweat of dread was just around the corner, all set to prickle my skin any moment.
I couldn’t believe it, my secretary had deceived me.
Why??
For a few more bucks??
F**k, I pay her well and keep adding bonuses too frequently.
