Trouble With The Billionaires - 4 Chapter 3 The Boss.

“Vanessa Survin! What the fuck am I hearing? Do you have any…..” Vanessa moved her phone away as his elder brother babbled on and on and on, while she casually hummed the lyrics of her favourite song under her breath.

“Vanessa? Vanessa? Are you even listening to me?” Stephan’s voice sounded like an angry ringmaster, and Vanessa giggled.

“Yes bro! What’s up?”

“What’s up? You are asking me what’s fucking up? Do you have any idea how dangerous…”

“Steph…..”

“…Do you have any sense…”

“Steph…”

“…..What was mom and dad thinking…..”

And she hanged up on him. She sighed as her phone rang again and she swipes the arrow towards right.

“Hello?”

“Quit!”

“No!” Vanessa scowled at her brother and heard him sigh.

“Vinni-”

“No, I will not quit!! This is my only chance to stand up on my feet, alone!”

“Vanessa…..”

“Pretty please with a cherry on the top.” Vinni gave him, her best and heard him sigh again.

“Ok fine…..”

“Yay! Love you too. Bye!” Vanessa cut the call before he could change his mind and giggled like a schoolgirl whose crush just reciprocated her feelings.

“Wohoo! I did it.” She fist pump the air in victory and froze as someone cleared his throat from behind her.

She swallowed nervously and turned to face the person who had interrupted her.

Oh damn!

She froze as her eyes meet those chocolate browns again, that had a hint of amusement lingering in them, instead of blankness. Her new boss.

What is she supposed to say? Good afternoon sir, my name is Sapphire Jones, I am the new manager and do thank your PA for ruining my beautiful suit.

It will look bad.

“Are you the new manager?” His deep voice formed goosebumps on her arms and she managed a timid nod, after throwing away the thought to itch it.

“I can’t hear you…….” He gave her a cold look and Vanessa clammed up severely.

“Y-yes sir.”

“Hmm…..” He nodded satisfied and looked over her intrigued and she suddenly felt self-conscious under his gaze. Her hands clutched onto the hem of her shirt in support and his eyes followed the action. “…. Welcome to Black’s Corporation Miss….”

“S-Sapphire. Sapphire Jones.”

“Miss Jones, I’ll see you tomorrow, first thing in the morning, 9am sharp.”

Black’s Corporation, I have heard it somewhere.

“Sure sir.”

“Have a good day, Ms. Jones.” He nodded at her politely and she gave him a toothy smile.

“You too, sir.” Her smile widened as his eyes widened in surprise, probably due to the fact she greeted him back but stepped out of the room, without making any comment.

Black’s Corporations.

“Oh my god!”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“What?!” Sera shrieked like a banshee and Vanessa cringed, and put her hands on her ears.

“Mom, you need to calm down.”

“Calm down?! Calm down?! Vinni, this is not a game…..! If he somehow find out that you are not Sapphire Jones, rather the woman my best friend, aka his mother has put forward for him to marry, all hell will break loose.” Sera exclaimed and Vanessa rolled her eyes at her mother.

“You are exaggerating, mum.”

“I am not EXAGGERATING!” Sera shreiked out the last word at the highest pitch and Vanessa winced at the toll it took on her ears.

“Mum!”

“Vanessa!”

Cue rolling of eyes here.

“He will not find out.”

“That’s it? Your mother is worrying her ass over here and you are making four line sentence over there.”

“Five actual-”

“That’s not the fucking point here.” Vanessa winced at the sight of the murderous expression on her mother’s face and laughed nervously

“Mum….. you look like a… a… a..”

“A what?!”

“A ghost in Conjuring! And you are really scaring me.”

Silence.

“Vanessa Elizabeth Survin!”

“Aah!” Vanessa dodged her mother’s claw attack and ran out of the door, screaming the whole house, with her raging mother behind her.

She hurried towards the door as she heard the engine of her father’s car and screamed as she saw her mother in the middle of the golden stairs, and threw open the main door, before running out of the house.

“Dad! Dad! Help me… Mom looks like a Conjuring ghost and- Oh shoot!” Vanessa gasped out loud as she bumped into someone, knocking the person to the ground.

Her ‘now’ blue eyes widened in shock as her eyes met the familiar brown ones and she gasped in disbelief as they travelled down to her heaving bossoms that were now visible due to her ‘over the top’ straddling position

“You perverted monster! Get off from me!” She threw him a dirty glare as she held onto the front of her top and he grinned mischievously.

“Actually! You should get off me.” He fold his arms underneath his head, looking extremely comfortable and Vanessa looked down at her top. ????

“No! You get off from underneath me.” Vanessa crossed her arms over her chest and Nathaniel rolled his eyes at her childish behaviour.

“Vanessa Elizabeth Survin, you are so dead today – Oh hello Nathaniel dear!” Sera murderous expression, smoothed down to a warm, yet awkward smile, at the vibe of the situation.

“Hello Mrs. Survin, a pleasure to see-”

“Mom, Can we, like postpone the pleasantries for later? I need your help, because someone can’t keep his dirty perverted thoughts at the back of his mind.” And he has the audacity to smirk at her.

The perverted shoothole! She gave him a glare and Sera sighed in frustration as she walked towards them.

This is going to be a long day.
