My Billionaire Boss Is Jealous Of My Boyfriend - Chapter 53

“Come inside.” Kelly forced a smile on her lips as she walked inside the cabin.

Vera Zhao, every inch of her face and body spoke of the sėx appeal she effused. It was hard to take off your eyes from her face. Those soft supple lips, freak! If Kelly were a boy than being a girl, she must have tried to hit on her and get into her bed.

She was that freaking gorgeous!

“Ceo Li sent me to me—”

“Ceo Li? You just joined the company and already talking about Ceo Li.” Vera curtly snapped back at Kelly, after she cut her in the middle of her statement.

Her beauty didn’t, but her words she spoke did prove what she had heard about this auditor. Despite her lovely facial looks, she was a bitch from inside.

Kelly surprisingly, with hesitation, tried to tackle the despise coming from her colleague. Once again she forced her mouth into a smile but a cruel grunt coming from the Auditor caught her by surprise.

She saw the auditor shaking her head sideways as the looks of disgust spread on her face, “Jeez, I wonder how on earth Emmett can hire you. You are dumb.” Kelly Ho, being shocked and humiliated by her words, lowered her head and bit her mouth in awkwardness.

“Tell me about the company you worked for earlier. You must be a successful accountant to have joined New York’s top enterprise like that.” Vera’s question made her look up at her face. “Tell me what is the position of the company you worked previously?”

That depressed Kelly more that she was left with no other option than to stand quietly there. She didn’t even realize that she was an accountant. A freaking accountant!!! Her job was almost the same as that of hers. Just because she wore short hot dresses, she didn’t become superior. Huh.

Who was supposed to tell that to Kelly. Her lack of response and stupid silence was making her look like a foolish girl here.

“Ma’am, I..” Kelly battled to answer. She forgot she was everything but an employee. “I..”

“What, I? Isn’t there anything else for you to say in your defense?” Vera, the disgustingly disgusted Auditor banged her hands on her desk such that whatever confidence Kelly had left within her, evaporated away.

She glued her eyes with the shining white tile on the floor as her eyes welled up. She held her breaths as well as tears, thinking about how to run away. She could not stand her severity no more. Kelly did have a strict boss yet nobody ever behaved like that to her.

And just like how her younger sister used to say— “She was too freaking innocent to answer back!”

“I asked you something and you cannot even open your lips and speak. Huh. I wonder what Emmett saw in you?” She spat venom whilst leaning back in her chair.

“I saw what you could not see, Miss. Zhao?” With breaths hitching inside her lungs and a tear of emptiness cascading down her eyes, despite her hard attempts to hold it back, Kelly Ho moved her head towards the door of the cabin.

“I saw what you can’t see. Her outstanding honesty.” He had his hands inside his pockets while he waddled inside bit by bit. “Her fantabulous scores and degrees in university are what I saw. Her amazing performance at her previous workplace is why I chose her. Her fair code of conduct and impressive presentation is why she is standing here. And her beautiful appearance tops the chart at first.” Emmett neared the desk, standing opposite to her shocked eyesight, he leaned forward with his hands on the desk.

Emmett gave her a challenging look. Kelly failed to interpret the true meaning behind his last sentence but Vera Zhao caught it beforehand. She felt so exasperated that she let out a grievously annoyed hiss and got up from her chair.

“I was talking to my new colleague, CEO Li” She opened her mouth to speak.

Nevertheless, CEO Emmett seemed in no mood to entertain shit today, “Talking? Were you really talking, Miss. Zhao?” He sarcastically threw back at her. “I don’t see any talking happening here except for humiliating!” He swung his head around to spare Kelly a glance, and noticed her wet eyes and soaking wet and pale cheeks.

The sight of her weary face and red shimmering eyes did something to his heart. His jaw automatically clenched as his guts felt hurt at the same time. Emmett kept staring at Kelly’s hanging face for a while before he attended Miss. Zhao again.

His calmed facade suddenly transformed into a hissing growl as his dark eyes glared at her like the eyes as that of a hungry direwolf. His excruciatingly dark expression made Vera gulp her saliva in fear.

“Miss. Zhao, Miss. Ho is not your ȧssistant to say the least. And the power of your position gives you no fuċkɨnġ right to talk like that to any employee, secondly. I never raised a finger of doubt on your abilities despite getting a couple of complaints against you. But this,” He pointed back at Kelly. “Is not appreciable.” he completed in a serious tone.

“I sent her to you so she could feel comfortable with you since you two have to work together. But all you did was hurt her morale, and throw shit at her silence. I am disheartened by your behaviour. I am sorry but I will have to consider your rudeness and suspend you for a month.”

“What???”

“But Emmett,”

“You can start collecting your stuff and prepare to go on your holidays, thank you for your time.”

“But listen to me, Emmett,”

Without listening to her no more, CEO Li grabbed Kelly’s hand and strode out of the cabin, leaving a fumingly weeping Vera behind.

He quite aggressively banged the door in the name of closing it. Emmett dragged Kelly out of the corridor into a place that was comfortably silent for both of them. He let her hand go and watched her face, “Look up at me.” he demanded.

But only if he knew how hurt she was, he would not have asked her to look at him. The day was the worst. Kelly could never imagine having such a day in her life. Although her life was no fairy tale with a big castle for a house and a charming prince for a boyfriend, she at least didn’t have to live such moments in life.

She was hurt by whatever that happened to her, this was something that hurt her the most. This job was supposed to be a ticket to her happiness. Then why was it being a pain in her ȧss from the very beginning itself?

Never mind, Kelly refused to look up. She, like an hurt child, stayed with her head hanging low while tears fell from her eyes. She was standing in front of the man who ruled the hearts of millions of girls who died to see him in person, yet she could not abide by his demands and see him.

Regardless, when she didn’t, Emmett himself made her look at him by forcing her face up with the help of his thumb under her chin. He twisted his mouth before elevating his other hand to wipe her tears. Emmett found her closing her eyes so as to tame the touch of his fingers and smile. He loved the way she reacted towards his touch.

Emmett immediately moved away, ȧssuming that this was not the correct time and sigh. He slowly ċȧrėssed her jaw which caused her to open her eyes and look right through his eyes, “I think it is enough for today, Miss. Ho. You must take a half day off and go home.” As much as it relieved her heart, it caused hla haywire inside her system.

Kelly amusingly eyed his face as the gratitude she had for him increased a bit more. Are all the CEOs really ever so nice? Or was it just Emmett Li, an exception!

No matter what he was, Kelly can’t help but thank him a thousand times for his kindness. She really needed to go home soon not because she was hurt by the cruelty of the first day at work but because she dėsɨrėd to see her sister real quick. Their mother was not home either, which meant that Casey must be alone at home.

“I will ask the HR manager to mark you present at work for the full day. You go home.” Kelly innocently sniffled in the place of thanking him while Emmett Li smiled at her antics.

****

‘I will give my best tomorrow for sure, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you so so so so soo much!’

“Stupid woman!” Chuckling to himself, Emmett sat in his chair recollecting Kelly’s words.

She just left his cabin, and he was already missing her hang. Gosh, she scarcely stayed there in his cabin yet he missed her around. This was crazy but cool.

“Had she left already?” Emmett asked himself as he got up from his leather chair.

“What. The. Fuck.”

Kelly Ho was there, standing on the other side of the gate, hugging her boyfriend!!!!

Tbc…
