CHAPTER 2&3
"How dare you talk to me like that. Do you know who I am?" Cody said in anger.
"I don't know who you are and I don't f**king care. Do you think you can just talk to me anyhow just because you are rich. I don't care if you get me fired. Did you think I will beg you? I know that's what you expected." She stopped and moved closer to him and patted his shoulder before continuing.
"Sorry dude but I Ariana Williams will never do that." She said and moved away from him before turning to Mr Andrews.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience sir." She said and bowed a little before leaving.
"Did that girl just talk to me like that. I will make sure she regrets this." Cody said.
"Mr Martins, you don't need to mind her. Those kind of girls just want to get the attention of rich men by pretending to not care about your money." Mr Andrews said in an attempt to make Cody calm down.
Cody didn't even bother listening to him as he just left the room.
"Who is the manager here?" Cody asked as he came out. Fortunately the manager was just coming out of a room so he heard someone calling for him.
"It's me. What can I do for you sir?" The manager asked politely.
"One of your workers did this to me." Cody said while pointing to his stained shirt. "I want her fired." He continued.
"I'm sorry for that sir but I have a lot of waiters here so I don't know the one you are talking about." The manager said.
"Her name is Ariana." Cody said.
The manager called a waitress passing by and told her to call Ariana.
"You called for me sir." Ariana said as she got there. She saw Cody and scoffed.
"Fire her right now or I will bring this whole restaurant down." Cody said
"You don't need to do that. I quit." Ariana said and left before the manager could even say anything. Cody also left the restaurant.
**WILLIAMS RESIDENCE
"I was going to quit that f**king job soon anyways. It's just a little bit earlier." Ariana said as she entered the house. She met her mom in the living room.
"Mom why are you so back so early. You are supposed to be home by four and this is just 2.30." She said as she slumped on the chair where her mom also sat.
"I had a little back pain so I took a half day leave. You are also not supposed to be back this early. What happened?" Yvonne asked.
"I quit the job." Ariana said. "Now I can find a real job." She continued.
"Why did you quit? What happened exactly? No wait let me rephrase that. What did you do?" Yvonne asked already knowing her daughter obviously did something.
"I actually didn't do anything. I spilled some wine on a rude brat." Ariana said annoyed.
"I can already guess what happened from there. No need to explain further." Yvonne said. "So what's your plan now?" She continued.
"Like I said before, I will get a real office job. I have an interview tomorrow." Ariana said as she got up to go find herself something to eat.
"Mom, I wanna make noodles. Do you want some?" Ariana said from the kitchen.
"No. I'm not hungry and you've not told me which company it is yet." Yvonne said as she also made her way to the kitchen. She took an apple from the fruit basket and peeled it before eating it.
"I will tell you when I get the job." Ariana said.
"That's if you get the job." Yvonne answered.
"Come on Mom, don't you trust your daughter? I will definitely get the job." She said confidently.
"If you say so, I just hope you don't get disappointed." Yvonne said still munching on the apple.
**SUNRISE GROUP
All the employees where all panicking as they didn't know who will be fired next. They knew Cody has always been very harsh and strict but he was worse today. He has fired five people today for the most simplest mistakes like a crooked tie and rumpled shirts.
**CODY'S OFFICE
Cody was angrily typing on his computer. He was thinking about how rude that girl had been to him. No one has ever dared to talk to him like that before.
"Can I come in?" Austin asked as he knocked gently. He came in when he saw that Cody didn't answer.
"Sir, I just want to remind you that tomorrow is my last day here. Hope you remembered?" Austin asked.
"Yeah. Just make sure you get me a new secretary before you leave here." Cody said in a very cold tone.
"Ok sir, there is gonna be an interview for your new secretary tomorrow and I will make sure you get a capable secretary." Austin said with enthusiasm laced in his voice. Cody didn't bother replying and just kept his poker face on. Austin took that as a cue to leave.
As soon as Austin left, someone else barged into his office and Cody looked up ready to fire the person but didn't say anything when he saw who it was.
"Hey big bro." Ryan said as he sat down on the couch. Ryan is like Cody's little brother because he is seven years younger but Cody will never say that to him. They met two years ago when Ryan was hit by Cody's car and ever since then Ryan refused to leave Cody's side even though Cody has tried his best to make Ryan leave him alone although he secretly likes Ryan's company but he will never admit it.
"I'm not your big bro and what do you want? I'm not in the mood for your nonsense. I have a lot of work, so leave." Cody said with annoyance laced in his voice.
"Yes you are my big bro or do you want me to call you little bro instead? I don't mind." Ryan laughed but stopped when he saw the murderous look on Cody's face.
"Sorry, sorry. Actually I want to ask for a favour." Ryan said as he moved closer to Cody.
"What is it?" Cody asked.
"My friends in school keeps showing off because they have rich parents so can I also tell them you are my big bro?" He asked sacred of Cody's reply.
"Do whatever you want." Cody replied.
"Really. Thanks bro." Ryan said as he quickly kissed Cody's cheek and ran away.
"That kid. I will still kill him one day." Cody said as he wiped off his cheek.
**NEXT DAY
"Big sis, pray that I get the job." Ariana said as she was eating breakfast.
"I know you will get the job. I trust you." Annie said as she stroked her hair.
"You are the best big sister anyone could ever ask for." Ariana said as she shoved a piece of toast into her mouth.
"What of me? I'm also your big sis." Ariel whined.
"You are the worst sister anyone could ever ask for." Ariana said and stuck out her tongue at her.
"Sis, did you hear that?" Arielle scoffed.
"Enough fighting. Ariana you will be late, you should go now." Annie said.
"Ok, bye sis." She said as she carried her bag and left.
**SUNRISE GROUP
Ariana got there and went to receptionist. The receptionist led her to the place where the interview was taking place. She sat waiting for her turn nervously. When it was finally her turn, she went in.
She came out happily when the interview was over because she felt she did very well and she was right because she was the only one that was picked among all the other applicants.
"Follow me." Austin told her. Ariana did as he said and followed him. They got to Cody's office and met Cody facing the window staring at the city so Ariana didn't see his face yet.
"Boss, this is your new secretary. She is capable." Austin said.
"I will do my best sir." Ariana said and bowed a little.
Cody turned and looked at her. She saw his face and her eyes widened, Cody's eyes also widened.
"You!" They both exclaimed at the same time.
