He lifted his face up, his breath was heavy and fast and as well as hers. Her pretty face had gone red included her ears and her neck.
"Remember! Don"t challenge my authority! "
The low-pitched voice spoke close to her lips. Wirata blinked, the consciousness slowly came back.
"You can"t use your authority with me!" The angry voice shouted, and the only seconds Stefan forgot to protect himself, a small but strong fist shot straight to his cheek.
"f.u.c.k!". Stefan felt a sharp pain where her fist hit him.
Wirata spun out of his arms, but he was faster, strong hands grabbed her body and pulled against him again. He closed his lips on hers. Kissed her fiercely. Wirata flung her hands slap them hard on his both cheeks. Stefan"s face turned red with a palm-printed on. His brain was pausing for two seconds.
"f.u.c.king h.e.l.l, you are such hard work!" He snarled and lowered his face to her, Wirata tossed her head away.
"Sam! Help!"
She shouted out the name that came to her mind, suddenly, it was like a magical spell, Stefan immediately stopped the bullying activities he was doing. Everything had stopped.
Stefan froze when heard his brother"s name. His consciousness gradually came back. He cursed fiercely. Holy G.o.d, what had he done?
"Let go of me, now! Or I"ll tell Sam what you"ve done to me!"
The extremely angry voice commanded. Stefan stared at her flushed face with puzzles in his eyes for a second and then he let go of her. He walked back to stand behind the desk. His eyes were dark and unreadable. Wirata rubbed her lips, she saw the bathroom door, didn"t hesitate to run inside, banged the door close.
"Ock!"
The sound came, Stefan looked at the bathroom door, the noise sounded like she was vomiting, the sound of water running.
"I only kissed you, I have to do more than that to get you pregnant."
He said out loud, sarcastically, made sure it reached her ears in the bathroom.
"Insane evil! Devil! I hate you!"
Stefan heard a small voice shouted angrily in the bathroom. Causing his frowned face to loosen up a little.
Huh ... At least he could stir up her emotions, just like she did to him ... felt better then.
"James, Ben."
Stefan called the bodyguards into the room.
The door opened right away because they only were standing out there. The bodyguards saw the boss"s face had red fingers printed on both cheeks. James and Ben stared, but when the boss shot his shape blue eyes at them, they quickly changed the target to look somewhere else.
"bring whatever belongs to Wirata from the office, put it on that desk."
The order came and pointed to the desk that the corner near the door. There was never be any desk at that spot before, James and Ben just brought that one there an hour ago!
"Yes, boss."
The bodyguards said in tune. As they knew Stefan rarely visited the office. He preferred working from the penthouse. There were managers who had handled various matters for him, except the important ones that required his decision. The doc.u.ments and reports would be sent to the penthouse to sign and that was James"s job, he was like the messenger to his boss.
Stefan never had had a secretary before. None! James and Ben took that responsibility whatever supposed to be. And now, the big boss happened to feel like having one. Jame and Ben wouldn"t be surprised if there would be gossip within the company. Everyone knew what their big boss was well-known for. Of course, it"s his wealth and power for number one and it"s women for number two!
But one thing that Stefan did not do. It was his very strict rule. The rule...not to sleep with the female staff under his own commands. So, they could imagine how fast Wirata"s story today would fly, they would give five minutes at the max, after they had taken her stuff up here.
Everyone would be curious to know Stefan Mackenzie would behave against his own rule or not. The motto "THE ABBOT DOES NOT EAT THE TEMPLE"S CHICKEN".
Therefore the temple"s chicken named Wirata would make the abbot Stefan to change his att.i.tude or not, sooner or later, they would know the answers!
The bathroom door banged open, the slender figure stepped out with her flushed face wet. Three men turned their heads to look at.
Stefan eyed her swollen lips, they were red. He touched his face, rubbed his jaws, still felt the numb on his both cheeks, guessed they must be red like hers. So it was a fair game. He thought.
"Okay, listen. I didn"t want to argue with you, Wirata. You start working here from now on. I will double your salary."
The low-pitched voice said. He sat on his chair like before with two bodyguards standing in front of his desk.
"Your job is to follow my commands and follow me everywhere I want. That is personal secretary"s duties." Stefan continued.
Wirata stood there quietly. Her brain is thinking hard about the next step of her life.
What should she do? She still felt angry with the insulting he had done to her. This insane mafia still believed that she was Sam"s girlfriend. so if he still had a little goodness in him, he probably felt guilty in his heart right now that he kissed his brother"s lover!
Maybe, she should stay a little longer to stir him up for revenge! And she could use Sam as her magical protection like the garlic to prevent her from the bad bloodsucker named Stefan! She would stay stirring his emotions until she felt satisfied. And he also just said he would double her salary!
"Triple!"
The voice said. The huge dark brown eyes looked straight to Stefan. Stefan saw clearly a moment ago when she was in his arms that her eyes weren"t black, but dark brown.
"Don"t dare to bargain with me!"
Stefan displeased sound loud enough to make James and Ben jump a little. They were afraid of her braveness. n.o.body dared to bargain with the master of money as he just told her. It"s only Stefan Mackenzie who could determine the destiny of his employees. Everything, depended on him, only one man!
Wirata shrugged.
"I"ve changed my mind now, I want four times my salary or I"ll leave right now. And I"ll make sure Sam knows what had happened to me."
She gave him the last offer and a bit of threat made herself ready to step out of the room.
"If you step out of this room, your life will never be the same again."
The low voice intimidated and his face turned stern, his eyes were staring at her seriously with a displeased gesture.
The bodyguards looked at each other and were really praying for the pretty Miss Wirata as they quite liked the way she challenged against the boss"s authority for a change, lucky for them to see such a brave girl in front of their eyes. The one and only. They hoped she lasted till the next day!
Wirata eyed him fearlessly. Seeing his face turned dark as if he wanted to strangle her.
"Who cares, my life is different every day, so are yours, and everybody else"s. Four times."
No kidding. Stefan couldn"t believe what"s he seeing. The woman"s haggling with him. Did she know who she"s dealing with? Who she thinks she was?! He never let anybody stood in front of him and shouted annoyingly at him this long before. Never!
"Three times! And it"s a final call!"
Stefan said, breathed in deeply as he felt wanted to do something with the woman standing in front of him, something like squeezing her neck, shaking her till she begged him to stop!
James and Ben couldn"t believe their ears what their boss just said. n.o.body could make Stefan Mackenzie relented like this before. They would undoubtedly put this on record!.
"Alright, deal."
The confident voice accepted the offer. Wirata hid her satisfaction under her indifferent face. It had proved to her that Sam had a strong influence on his brother. Well, it"s good to know.
"From now on, obey my orders. Understood?"
The boss started to announce his power, Wirata nodded.
"Yes. Boss." She acknowledged sarcastically rather than really wanted to obey.
Stefan looked straight into her eyes, his dark blue eyes looked scary, other people wouldn"t want to stare back. But not this one!
"Another rule for my secretary is... Don"t go out with other men, apart from Sam."
Wirata frowned with disapproval in her eyes. What a crazy rule! She couldn"t believe what he just said. Really? That was a matter of personal rights! She could go out with anybody she liked!!
"What else?!"
"and me! you only go out with me, and Sam. As Sam"s your boyfriend, and I am your boss. Understand?" The powerful voice had finished his order finally.
"No!" Wirata opened her mouth to argue but immediately shut up when seeing the boss"s angry eyes.
"Stop wasting my time Wirata. I"m hungry! We"re going out."
He changed the topic!
"What? It"s ten o"clock, too early for lunch!"
Wirata started to feel sorry for her decision. Is it too late to change her mind again?
"I haven"t had my breakfast yet. Ben, James bring the car to pick me up in front."
He ordered everyone then one strong hand reach to grab Wirata"s arm and dragged her out of the room to the elevator.
When they came out of the elevator, there"s the car waiting right in front of the private elevator. James opened the car door. Stefan pushed Wirata into the back seat and then his tall body followed.
After eating lingeringly for two hours! The rest of that day, Wirata was outside the office following the big boss to see some of the debtors individually. She had watched the ways he dealt with each one, must admit that Stefan Mackenzie was very smart and got memories like a computer, he remembered his debtors" details better than the debtors themselves!
