Chapter 2

"It's really thick of your face to accuse me of enjoying your cutie little patootie last night! Excuse me! You're the one who's so rude and shamelessly comes out of your room naked!"

An amused grin escaped from his mouth. Oh, and I guess I haven't been taken seriously yet.

"Oh! Isn't that still in your favor? Or..." His brow furrowed as he stared at me.

"Miss..."

"What?!"

"Are you still a virgin?"

My jaw immediately dropped. He's so rude!

"Anyway, I'm here to pick you up. I've been looking for you for a while now," he said with a hand on the back of his neck.

My forehead furrowed. And why is he looking for me?

"Why?! I'm not in arrears with you?!"

"You're so cute when you're angry," he commented with a laugh. Damn!

I was embarrassed and quickly looked away from him. I don't want to be teased like that. My gosh! I'm still quick to thrill!

"Hurry up and head to your boss's office."

I immediately frowned as my eyes widened. Oh my gosh! Does he have anything to do with me being summoned? Is it because I slapped him? Will I be fired? My god!

I turned to him to ask a question but he was no longer there at the door where he was standing earlier.

I sighed and immediately hurried to go to the office of Mr. Buenaventura.

I knocked three times on the office door of Mr. Buenaventura before I finally entered. His sharp eyes hit me immediately when I entered. The dark expression on his face tells me that I must have done something wrong. That's why he summoned me. And another thing is, he is not always here. He only occasionally comes here to his office. He often goes to the conference room when he has a meeting that will be held here at the hotel. Mr. Buenaventura is busier in his other company so he doesn't really stay here. In the company where my friend Lumina works.

Just now again. And it looks like I am the reason why he's here now.

When I turned to the left side where the couches were, I saw the rude man sitting there. His two hands were leaning on the backrest. He immediately grinned when our eyes met.

"G-good morning, M-mr. Buenaventura..." I stammered. Damn!

"Good morning, Ms. Loyola. I have received a complaint from one of our guests. He said that you slapped him last night."

My eyes immediately widened. He reported right away! That guy will get ready for me if I get fired. What I will give him is more painful than a slap.

"S-sir... I didn't mean it. I was just surprised because-"

"Shhh!" Mr. Buenaventura cut me. He even managed to raise one of his index fingers. "The man you slapped, Miss Loyola, is one of the board members of the company where you work. Are you aware of that?"

I gasped. I don't know what to say. I don't think I did anything wrong. I slapped him because I saw him naked in front of me. That's rude to me. But because I'm just a worker here and they're the boss. What can I do? It's really hard if you're not rich.

"M-mr. Buenaventura, d-don't fire me. I really need this job."

Mr. Buenaventura shook his head as he looked at me.

"The decision is no longer mine, Ms. Loyola. It's up to Mr. Zoren Russell," he extended his palm to the direction of the handsome man named Zoren.

I sighed before biting my lip hard. Then I turned to Zoren.

He immediately raised an eyebrow at me. I immediately rolled my eyes.

"You know what, I can sue you by slapping me so hard last night. That's harassment. And you can be fired from here. But because I'm kind, I won't punish you anymore," he said.

And I doubt that. In the still awake grin plastered from his face I had a strong hunch that there was something else that he wanted me to do. "I will fire you as a receptionist here at the hotel. But... I want you to be my personal maid."

"What?!" I immediately ejaculated.

"Promotion," he shrugged. "Improve your salary."

I laughed sarcastically. "And you think you can get me like that?"

"Dwayne..." Zoren immediately called Mr. Buenaventura.

"Ms. Loyola..." said my boss who seems to be submissive to this board member.

"Mr. Buenaventura, I don't want to-"

"How about 35k a month?" Zoren's groin.

"Excuse me! My monthly salary here is 30k and you only add five thousand? Nevermind!"

Zoren burst out laughing quickly.

"Zoren, why can't you just tell her that you like her," said Mr. Buenaventura in hard English.

What? Like? Me? Zoren like me?

Zoren immediately stopped laughing and stood up. Staring directly at me.

"I don't like her. I was just amused and I want to punish her for slapping me last night. I have never been slapped by anyone before. She has to pay. So, Ms. Loyola, 70k a month, take it or you leave the Bluestone Hotel," he said and plopped down on the couch again.

Seventy- 70k a month? It's not bad anymore. Not bad at all! Gosh! In one year I will have... Seventy times twelve... 840k. That's close to a million.

"Is there a 13th month pay and a bunos in your offer?" I asked directly.

They were almost at the same time as Mr. Buenaventura burst out laughing.

"13th month pay and 100k bonus then," he said.

I grinned widely. A million a year!

"Deal!" I said smiling.

Zoren smiled sarcastically at me. "Deal."

"It's only a woman who will consume your wealth," said Mr. Buenaventura and immediately stood up. "I'm leaving. I have a lot of work to do at the Pubhouse."
