Chapter 3

Heather's point of view:

I will make it short and vivid, I like you Heather and I want us to be in a relationship," Mr. Grey said as he started approaching me. It was like I misheard him.

"Sir?" I said in shock.

"You know I don't like to repeat myself, Heather. I like you and I want us to be in a relationship." He repeated his statement. I wish I recorded this. I stared at him in pure shock. I knew there would be a moment like this with him. I mean, I saw it miles away. I have noticed his strange behavior towards me lately. He has made it his habit to always call my name when it comes to asking even though, there are numerous students in the class he could ask questions.

But I thought it was because I was his favorite student and he knew how much I loved his subject.

His sensitive touch brought me back to reality.

"What did you say?" he whispered as his eyes darkened.

I moved away from his touch as I regained my senses. I glared at me in irritation.

I feel irritated by him now.

"What did you say?" he had the gut to ask him again.

"Can you just it, Mr. Grey?" I said angrily to him while my glare was fixated on him.

"What do you mean?" he asked me as his smile started to fade away.

"Stop this entire act. I don't want you and I don't want to have a relationship with you" I paused as I gasped, staring at him in disbelief. "Why would I even?" I asked him with a straight face.

"I thought you were interested in me. So, I thought maybe we could give it a since I like you." He said.

"Oh! Cut the crap! You think I don't know you ask almost all the girls out? You are a despicable man. I didn't even know why I came to this place in the first place." I shot him a last glare before turning to leave the room.

"Don't be surprised if I fail you, Miss Skylark. I am giving you the chance to accept my proposal and get good grades in my subject or you graduate next year." I halted on my track immediately after he said that.

Does he want to use my grades against me? He is so cheap. I turned to face him as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"I want to see you try, Mr. Grey. You try to fail me; I drag you to the school authorities for this. I would then like to see who would win after I get petitions from girls you have corrupted. I can even start to file a petition against you so that you can see how the whole school hates you. Try me, Mr. Grey." I turned and left his office in anger. I can't believe this just happened. What if he tries to fail me? God, I didn't take my dad's words seriously when he told me my mouth would send me to jail.

But why did I choose that man as my teacher before? I wasn't in my right senses I guess.

I told my friends about the incidents today and they all said they knew it was going to happen. They vowed to ruin his career if he ever tried to mess with me. That's one thing I love about our friendship. We are always there for each other.

Ethan's point of view:

The silence in the conference room was alarming. And it kept boiling up my anger.

"I will ask you again, how did the newly developed phones have bugs? Can anyone answer me?" I asked them again as I clenched my hands in a fist.

Silence

Silence.

"Can anyone fucking answer me?" I yelled this time in anger.

"How did the phones have bugs? You all don't know? Didn't I tell you to check before you present it? So, if I hadn't checked the software, we would have launched phones with viruses and bugs. We have a few days to the launch day and this happened?" I asked them all in anger.

"We are sorry…."

"You are sorry? You are sorry? So, on the phone launching day, I will tell the audience we are sorry that our newly produced phones have bugs in them and it happened due to our carelessness, right? Is that how I am going to say it? What will the public say? What will they think of the company?" I faced him.

They were all mute.

"Turn in your resignation letters at the hr office and you must all add that the reason why you resigned was because of your carelessness and incompetence." I stood up and so did my assistant.

"Mr. Worsley…." Mr. Bill tried to talk but was shut up by my deadly glare.

I walked out of the conference room to my office.

"Get, white on the line in five minutes," I said to my assistant.

"Yes sir."

"And inform the HR department about a board meeting this afternoon after the lunch break." I made my way to my office after instructing him.

I sighed as I sat on my office chair. I leaned back and closed my eyes as faced the ceiling.

I am fed up and confused.

How am I going to fix the bugs on 1000 phones within three days?

I am going to lose thousands of dollars in fixing the hones.

Our phone made it to the top five best-selling phones in the USA and on three continents for three years now but now we are about to lose the position we are in. Our customers have been demanding new phone models and we promised we were going to launch a new model in three days but the unexpected happened.

There was a knock on my door which brought me back to earth.

I sat up and instructed the person to come in.

"Mr. White is on the line, sir" he informed me.

"Okay, thank you." I picked up my office phone and got connected to white.

"Hello, Mr. Worsley." We exchanged pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Have a nice day. I will be expecting you tomorrow morning." I ended the call.

"It's a lunch break, Mr. Worsley." My assistant reminded me through the intercom.

"Thank you," I muttered as I stood up from my chair and grabbed my phone and wallet along with me as I went out of the office.

"Can you remind me of my schedule this afternoon?" I asked him.

"You have a lunch date with Miss Bailey," he informed me.

"Thank you. Where is the reservation?" I asked him since he was the one who was in charge of our date.

"The new restaurant down the street. Ms. Bailey told me to make a reservation at the restaurant.

I have a lunch date with my girlfriend this afternoon and I don't feel like going. I am not in the mood to get out of my office this afternoon. I want to solve this mess before I leave the office. But knowing my girlfriend, she will never give me the chance to skip this lunch. She will nag at me all day and night if I do.

"Thank you, I will be on my way. Make sure everyone is present at the board meeting by the time I come back and no one must come near my office, not even you." I made my way to the elevator; I got in and pressed the floor I was going to. The door closed and it took off.

The door of the elevator opened when it reached the floor I was going to, I got off the elevator and made my way to the lobby. The lobby was awkwardly empty, everyone must have gone for their lunch break.

I went to the parking lot and got inside my car as I drove out of the building.
