Chapter 8: Everyone through Carina are rude

He looked at her from head to toe and shook his head in disgust. He pointed at her black shoes.

“You’re not a herdsman so get yourself some nice high heels and those pants, have them swap them for skirts, you don't look good That way, you might look a little more attractive. Then, that boring blouse… look for something more fashionable. Lastly, your head…...”

“What’s wrong with my head? Did you also hate my head too and wanted it off?” Balqis asked in a horrified tone. She could understand if the CEO protested her outfit, but her head? Did he also wanted her to change her head too?

He fondled with his tie first, “Why will I want you head off? As if your head would produce money? You are just unsightly. Loose that bun of yours, you look like a choirmaster in that bun!”

Balqis flinched. She was in danger. If her hair was down, wouldn’t Trevor Quin recognize her more easily?

“I’m more comfortable like this, Sir. If my hair was down, it would be more troublesome. And if you don’t want my hair in a bun, then fire me and let me get out of your useless sight ”

“You’re the one who’s bothered, not me. Take it off or I’ll do it!”

Balqis swallowed hard. She wanted to find a reason, but there was one. While lowering her head, she was forced to let her hair down, and her hair tumbled down in a thick and beautiful fall. She now looked younger than her formal self now.

“Put away your glasses too! You are not a nerd”

She touched her glasses and step away, “G-glasses? How can I see? This is a recommended glasses ” Balqis stammered. She realized that Trevor Quin had suspected her, his suspicions will grow even more stronger if she take off her glasses, because he’ll be able to see through to her contact lenses.

“You still have eyes. So let it go!”

Trevor suddenly grabbed Balqis’s glasses. Balqis spontaneously covered her eyes with one hand.

“Hey! What are you doing? Return my glasses I can’t see clearly. I’ll get dizzy without glasses!” Her other hand flailed aimlessly.

“This is not a plus or minus glasses. What are you bothering about? And what defect did you have in your eyes?”

Balqis peeked through her fingers. Trevor was wearing the glasses! Panicking, Balqis tried to grab it. However, the Trevor Quin swiftly caught both of her hands with just one hand of his and glared at her hardly.

From such a close distance, it was impossible for Trevor Quin not to remember. However, Balqis had been locked in his hands. She couldn’t run away. The only thing she could do was to close her eyes and scrunch up her face. She wont let him know about her for the sake of the twins

Balqis didn’t know that her tactic actually refreshed Trevor’s memory. On their burning night, she unconsciously made that expression every time he pushed too deep, the picture of the hickeys on her shoulders flashed before her very eyes.

“Balqis Minaj, are you sure we’ve never met before?”

Balqis thought her heart exploded. Her chest was tight. She could no longer breathe. With wide eyes, she just stared at his light blue eyes. She could see her pale face showing from his iris. She gulped hard, this is really crazy.

She quickly racked her brain on how to get out of the ugly situation, If she didn’t act immediately, she was sure her lungs would stop forever. She wasn’t ready to leave the twins with threats from their heartless biological father.

“Sir!” Balqis shouted unexpectedly. The girl herself was surprised by her voice. “Isn’t your behavior outrageous? You asked me to keep my distance, but you broke it yourself. Lets be professional like you said! Don’t ask me personal questions again please”

Trevor was stunned to hear the protest. With furrowed brows, he glanced at his grasp. Balqis’s hand was writhing there. “You were about to attack me. Isn’t it natural for me to defend myself? Or which secretary talks rudely to their boss?”

“You started the matter. If you didn’t take my glasses, how could I attack? Are you secretly interested in me? Or are you perhaps trying to flirt with me right now?”

Trevor’s eyeballs almost popped out. In his entire life, this was the first time a woman had accused him of harboring feelings. He released so that she won’t caught on to his nervousness, and cleaned his hands with handkerchief so she wont notice his trembling hands. “Flirt with you? huh in your dreams! I’ll rather become a gay than flirt with some one like you”

“Then why don’t you let me resign? You also act like a child asking for attention. Is your perfect fiancee boring? That’s why you’re looking for something different? An ugly, washed up celebrity like me?”

Trevor sighed in disbelief. Balqis Minaj was different from other women. She was so annoying! She keeps touching his weak points.

“You’re ungrateful, hmm? I gave you a chance to improve yourself, but you just became a mess. Never mind! Now bring me a cup of coffee!”

Getting the opportunity she had been waiting for, Balqis ran out of the room. She had forgotten her glasses.

She didn’t even notice that the man who opened the door for her was holding back laughter. She just wanted to escape from Trevor Quin that blue eyed demon slayer.

Trevor slumped on his chair and blew cold hair against his face. He didn’t realize that he was burning up until now.

Jeremy walked up to her with a suppressed laughter, “President, I don’t think you have to be so hard on Miss Minaj, she’s new here and I think…. I think her assumption is not that wrong. You do seem to like her.”

“Jeremy!”

The assistant raised both hands. He didn’t dare speak anymore he nodded then he left the room. Trevor always needed time to cool off.

‘Everyone that comes through Carina are always rude!’
