drink this yellow glass

Chapter 7

Even if he doesn't drink, right?" said Benjamin back Mr, Franklin you shouldn't have to worry about Ms, esperanza.." theo said now. His voice was annoyed." And besides one shot is not that bad ... right Ms, esperanza?" he asked with a frown.

I can't answer right away.

Am I right Ms, Esperanza?" he asked again." You don't look innocent enough not to drink this yellow glass of wine?" he added, playing with his wine in his hand Am I really trying? Mr, Colton-

Yeah, you're right Mr, Colton." I said weakly. I had no choice but to drink this wine. I was hoping Benjamin would argue again suddenly. I took the glass of wine from Jack's hand. I took a breath first. deeply before finally sipping the wine once that's bitter." I said shaking my head. the bitterness of the taste and the heat in my throat. I'm familiar with this feeling especially since it's not the first time I drink.

Are you ok??" Benjamin asked worriedly. I slowly nodded even though the truth was that the taste was really bitter See..that's easy, you made it last longer. Said the demon while shaking his head with a grin.

He's draining my patience! I didn't say a word, instead I quickly took the glass of water and immediately drank it to get rid of the bitterness in my throat.

"By the way I have something important to say that's why I thought of doing this welcome dinner." He said with folded hands. "Listen carefully I don't want anyone else to know about this so keep your mouths shut and don't say anything that's what we're going to talk about today, do you understand?" he asked very seriously.

They all nodded. What are you talking about and it seems so important?

The Beuana's corporation they want to see the presentation of our work and it is very important. actually I would have said this in the office but I don't have time. so I thought I'd just say it here" he explained further But Mr, Colton I thought their CEO is our rival?" Jack asked in surprise Exactly, that's why I agreed to do the plan that we should have done a long time ago." He said while sipping wine Mr, Colton I don't think that's a good idea." now the assistant director is polite. The demon looked slightly at him este...theo or most I say the CEO.

Why?? I don't see anything wrong with what we are going to do." He said with a frown I mean what if KC's company cooperates with them to help them? We know that they both want to bring down our company." said the assistant director again.

While the other employees just listened and agreed with what the assistant director said, while I didn't understand anything they were talking about. damnit I'm the secretary but I have no idea what's going on!

That's right but do you think that I will let that happen??of course not." he said firmly. "I'm not stupid and also I'm planning to do something so I'll set aside a day for our next meeting " he added. Everyone didn't say a word. They just kept looking at this guy. tsk why did I enter the demon's company Toh!

Assistant director follow me and I will ask you to do something." He said as he ordered. "And you guys don't worry about the payment for the food I'll pay it." he said as he stood up.

We all stood up to say goodbye. After we said goodbye, I barely looked at him, which I regretted because we met each other's eyes. As before, his face had no emotion. It didn't take long for him to come out next. the assistant director.

Woah...wine is really different for me.

Yown, Mr. Colton is gone, we can eat properly." Jack laughed Sambit.

You were talking when Mr. Colton was here," Kara said.

That's why it's a star." Carla agreed, which was the source of their argument. I just remained speechless. The wine really felt different to me. I felt dizzy and hot. I must have been bent over for a few minutes, maybe I was wondering why I ended up in this situation. Am I seriously working with that demon?... I feel like I'm going crazy thinking about it...Here, give this to buena's corporation." Mr. Colton ordered The assistant director immediately took the paper and looked at it Then tell them about the deal so they can think about it sooner." He said seriously. The woman standing in front of him just nodded.

Young master your bed is ready." said his assistant bowing as he entered his room or small office Ok good, just put my towel on the bed." He ordered. The assistant left immediately. When he left, he turned his gaze to the assistant director again. They were here in the mansion where he was staying. "Why are you still standing there?? do you have something to say? assistant director?" now he asked with a frown.

"Mr, Colton...what are you planning to do with Secretary Esperanza?" this open question made Theo frown even more. "I mean he's new to our company and I'm sure he doesn't know what's going on." He said worriedly.

Theo couldn't speak for a few minutes, maybe he was thinking. When he was thinking, there were many rolling questions running through his mind.

I know she doesn't seem like a weak woman and she can do her job well, but I'm still worried that she might be used by our other enemies." He said this.

Oh about her..you don't need to worry about it. I'll take care of her as long as the important thing is that you do what I order well." Now this Sambit is serious Ok Mr. Colton." was the assistant director's only answer even though he still had doubts You are the one who interviews her right?" now he asked looking seriously at the woman.

Yes, I am." answered the woman who was also just looking at him. "Is there a problem?" she asked, especially surprised that theo's face could not be painted. He looked at her silently as if deep in thought Mr, Colton are you ok-

Yeah...you can leave now." He ordered without emotion. At first his assistant's face was doubtful, but when Theo stared at him evilly, he immediately obeyed. When he came out this also made him lose his deep breathing.

Damn theo..why are you still thinking about her??.." he said to himself."why the heck I'm feeling guilty?...I didn't do anything wrong right?" he asked as if he didn't know.

He felt like he was going to explode in annoyance. He remembered his past with the person he wanted to forget for a long time I know I did something bad to her and she deserves it..how can she played with my feelings..that's bullsh*t" he said while holding the ballben firmly causing its cover to break.

Since that I meet you again... I'll show you who's the boss and who you are to played with my feelings.

That's what was running through his mind. F*ck you! shut up ok?"

Gosh why are you so defensive??"

I'm not!" Liana shouted at her friend Jia. Gosh, deny it! If you're not defensive then why can't you say anything about the CEO that you work on?" Jia asked with a frown. Liana could barely look at him properly. "See! Maybe you're her type."Shut the fvck up jia! I-i..hays! just shut up ok?" Liana said again, blushing with embarrassment especially since other people were looking at her in the restaurant they were eating at.

"Chill best, you're blushing too much." he said, teasing her even more "pft you know what you're so selfish, just tell me what kind of person your boss is." he added with a snort.

Tsk, why you wanna know about that bastard.. Wait what? you called him bastard? omygosh Liana he's your boss then He couldn't finish what he was going to say when Liana suddenly slapped the chicken in his mouth.

Shh, you're making noise." Liana said to silence him Hmp! I hate you." Jia said now with a look of annoyance and sadness on her face. She wanted to know about the CEO of TSC CORPORATION. He already knew that he had a little attitude but he wanted to hear the personality of the CEO from liana's own mouth.

Keep quiet and besides, as I said before, there is nothing special about him..I mean yes, he is tall and muscular, but...he is very arrogant and evil." Liana said emphatically in her last words.

Oww, so he's really fat? And he's tall and muscular?" he asked with a smile while looking at Liana who looked very happy Tch, you just found out that it's like that." Liana said as she sipped the ice tea in her hand.

Well I confirmed that what others are saying is correct that the TSC CEO is very handsome and hot." he said which annoyed Liana What did that guy struggle with? If he has a very bad conscience No, jia may jowa, you're still looking at other men." he said, stopping jia from eating Hey for your information I'm not looking at anyone else! I'm only going to knock on Carlo" he said.

God, Edi, wow Well, you're still NBS. I don't know what's going to happen to you." he said teasingly.

I'm NBS??oh Oh why? Has anyone become a jowa, Kaba Liana? Gosh, as far as I can remember, all men who like you reject you," he said.

What he said was true. He rejected almost all the men who tried to flirt with Liana because he was not ready and he could not get them, so what? There's nothing wrong with that"

Really? I think you might be getting old because you're a virgin too." Jia said, making Liana's face blush.

Virgin?....it doesn't seem like that. And what's wrong is that I gave my womanhood to a man who did nothing but hurt my feelings.

Jia looked at Liana in wonder when she became silent. She called her name several times but she still didn't answer. So Jia thought of slapping her on the forehead ah! What the hell!" Liana gasped in pain I'm calling your name twice but you didn't answer me so yeah" was Jia's only answer. Liana was silent again. "he shouted a question that made everyone look at him again.

Liana's face was almost red with embarrassment What the heck! Can you lower your voice?" Liana said in annoyance, panicking perhaps out of shame Eh...sorry it took you so long to answer." Jia said shyly. Liana just sighed What kind of question is that jia? Probably! virgin..me" Sambit said weakly. no..I already give my body to someone who doesn't know how to value me Ohh, I said that and besides, I can't help but wonder..no one has become a jowa." he said teasingly.

Liana didn't pay attention to him, instead she started to eat again. While she was eating, she felt some kind of pain in her chest. It was tight and like a stabbing pain that made her body heavy. This is not new to her because it happens often. even if he is sad or thinking deeply.

Sadness has been enveloping him for a long time but he has to fight.

Liana esperanza p'o'v

"Hey..I'm exhausted!"

"It's too much." I said to myself almost crying from exhaustion. I have been sitting here in my chair for some time. That guy is crazy! Does he think I can finish all these files in just one day?

What does he think of me machine?! annoying!

cries

cries

I went back to the proper place when I heard the phone next to me ring so I immediately answered it.

good afternoon-

Come to my office now." Sabat the demon on the other line opened.

Yes? Why do you have to order something Just come here already." He said firmly. I was about to answer when he suddenly put it down.

What..the..argh!! I can't with this shithead!" I screamed while holding my head. What is my choice? I can't do anything but follow his orders. I immediately left my office.

I can't really say anything to that guy. The devil can give orders like there's no tomorrow. What does that man need?

As I walked to the CEO's office, all the employees were greeting me. I only gave a smile. It only took a few moments for me to reach the front door of the office of the boss.

Mr, Colton?" I called impatiently.

Come in." I heard when he entered me. I opened the door and slowly entered inside. As soon as I entered, the serious face of the man I hated so much appeared Umh you called me Mr, Colton?" I asked with a frown, I just felt like he was looking at me from head to toe Are you done with the file that I want you to clarify?" he asked with a serious face No, I'm not done yet." was my only answer.

With so many of them, I can't really finish it in one day "Not yet? remember I give you enough time to be done with it so use your time wisely not the one talking to others there." he said which annoyed me. You know when you're tired, hungry, or when a man opens up to you, his preaching is inhumane.

Finish it before the deadline." He said. Anyway I called you because I have an important meeting so prepare coffee for us." he added an order.

I really want to jump up to him and step on his face. The more I do, the more he will do! Secretary Esperanza? Do you hear me?" he asked with a frown, I told you to do." He ordered again.

I said goodbye before leaving. When I got out, I breathed a sigh of relief and as he ordered, I went to the room where there was all the coffee and water, there was also a refrigerator that contained the employees' food.

I'm also really amazed at that demon's company because it's beautiful and big with enough food in this company.

But hello! It doesn't mean that I want to be here, well, they will take away the beauty if the conscience of the person is bad. It's like that kupal.

Tsk, you can tell who it is! I didn't come in here just to mix their coffee, what!" I said to myself while taking the two cups. "Who does he think he is?!" I asked.. re you ok secretary esperanza?"

I almost jumped in shock when someone suddenly spoke behind me. Benjamin's surprised and worried face appeared in front of me.

Oh.. Benjamin you startle me." I said holding my chest. I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you because I just heard you say something and you don't seem to be in a good mood." He said laughing a little.

Huh?ahh ..no, I'm just wondering how many teaspoons of sugar I should put in the demon's coffee- I-i mean for Mr. Colton." I said stuttering a bit.

He came to me and looked at the cup.

"Hm, as far as I know, Mr. Colton doesn't like sweets." He said staring at me. Ahh, is that so...thanks for telling me." I said smiling.

I don't have that, by the way, I'm just going to get my water that I left earlier." he said and took his water when he got it, he immediately said goodbye to go back to work So..he doesn't like sweets..." I said smiling.

You are with me now...

Nice to meet you Mr. Colton." a man greeted Mr. Colton. He is old but it is not obvious from his appearance.

Nice to meet you too Mr, Guante." greeted back smiling Mr, Colton.

After they greeted each other, they sat on the sofa in Mr. Colton's office to talk about work. You're still handsome Mr, Colton, You'd think that time has passed but nothing has changed in your appearance, you really look like your father." he said smiling looking at his whole face. You flattering me Mr, Guante, Anyway I would like to thank you for coming here." Mr, Colton was still smiling in gratitude.

"No problem and besides you are the one who came here remember about our deal?" now he asked the young man. Yup, I'm not forgotten about that." was Mr. Colton's only answer.

Mr, Colton your coffee is here." Liana said from outside the office.

Come here." When he entered, Liana immediately went inside while holding the tray with two cups of coffee on it.

Here's the coffee that you ask for Mr. Colton." Liana said as she placed the tray on the table. Thanks, you can stay here." Said Mr. Colton. Liana only gave a forced smile. Ohh so she's your new secretary huh?" now Mr. Guante asked. The young man just nodded while glancing at Liana." she's so beautiful and I think she's smart" he said making Liana's cheeks red. Hm kinda" answered the young man with no emotion on his face.

While Liana's face was red before, now she is red with annoyance because of the young man's answer.

Alright let's talk about our deal Mr. Guante, I don't want to waste your time because I know you're so busy," said Mr. Colton. The man agreed. He handed Mr. Colton the A paper bag.

This the paper that you want to see, don't worry everything written there is true and about the property that we are going to talk about today, I am ready to pick you up." Mr. Guante said staring at the young man Sure, let's start shall we?" Mr. Guante asked.

He just nodded and Pag started talking about their work and deal. While the two were talking, Liana remained standing and just listening to what they were talking about. listening to the conversations of his former boss, the only difference is that Mr. Colton and the man he is talking to are very serious. why am I being asked to stay here...I don't want to hear what they are talking about." Liana said to herself. It's like she's in her own world talking to herself "Secretary esperanza..are you deaf? asked Mr, Colton looking at her as if annoyed.

Huh? What did I do? Liana asked in her mind. Huh?" he asked in surprise.
