Chapter 94: LOCK THE DOOR BEHIND YOU
The elevator beeped open before she stepped out of the elevator and entered the magnificent hallway that led to the conference room. As she walked through the hallway, she turned to look at the transparent walls beside her and caught a glimpse of the staff in the spectacular boardroom room. They were all packing up their stuff from the big table, while a few employees were already stepping out of the conference as they moved towards the elevator.
It seemed to her that the meeting was over, but she needed to confirm. "Please, is the meeting over?" Isabella asked one of the employees passing by, but her query was met with a dismissive demeanor. The white lady's hurried attitude indicated she had no time for conversation.
"Please excuse me," the lady said, giving Isabella a light nudge before entering the elevator and departing.
Something was wrong, Isabella could tell by their expressions. She quickened up her steps and arrived at the conference room’s entrance, and just as she was about to enter, someone forcefully pushed their way past her. The unexpected shove caused Isabella to stumble back and collide with the wall, a wince escaping her lips as her back slammed the hard surface.
"Watch your step, fatty", Sofia hissed as she stepped in front of Isabella.
"I'm sorry", Isabella quickly apologized, as she didn't have time to deal with Sofia’s arrogant attitude, not now when she had problem with the boss. "Is the meeting still on? Is the boss still in the meeting room? And where is everybody?" Her tone was urgent as she questioned Sofia.
Sofia smirked as she flickered her gaze up and down at Isabella, observing her. "A blue-black spotted skirt with a white long-sleeve shirt?" Sofia asked in a mocking tone.
Isabella reflexively glanced down at her dress. There was nothing wrong with her outfit; at least she isn't dressed almost half naked like Sofia, who wore a tight black short skirt that stopped right at her thigh and then a white shirt that was left unbuttoned, exposing her red-lacy bra and her small curvy cleavage.
Isabella rolled her eyes inwardly and looked up, waiting for Sofia to respond without saying a word to her.
Sofia let out a scoff. "This isn’t the uniform for the meeting, Isabella, except you’re here to showoff", she said with a hint of disgust in her tone. Licking her red lips, she added, "And you are late, and as you can see, the meeting is already over,” she responded, gesturing toward the employee exiting the conference room.
"But where is Leonardo? I mean the boss, is he in his office? I need to deliver this file to him", Isabella asked impatiently.
"Hmmm. It looks like someone is going to get fired today", Sofia remarked, a smirk playing on her lips. She placed one hand beneath her chest, making her exposed cleavage more noticeable as she rested her other elbow on the hand. "Leonardo cancelled the meeting with the superiors because of you, so he’s in his office now", she added, her tone amused. "Only heaven knows what you did, but one thing is for sure, for Leonardo to cancel this meeting because of you, you’re so going to get fired, bitch and I can’t wait to get you kicked out myself and reclaim my position", Sofia said mockingly before turning away from her. "Oh, wait." She raised a finger as if suddenly remembering something, then pivoted back toward Isabella. She licked her red lips before she spoke. "Leonardo said he wants you in his office right away, urgently...” She said and leaned close to Isabella’s face, whispering, “You’re so lucky you ran into me, if not, this message wouldn’t have gotten to you”, with a chuckle, she fake a smile and sauntered off.
Isabella sensed something was up, and she was left pondering on Sofia's comments. “Is Sofia right about me getting fired?” Isabella questioned herself, causing her heart to clench. “God, I hope he didn't see that picture”. She whispered to herself, her heart beating and skipping as she quickly made her way to the elevator and hit the button to open it. She waited for the elevator to open before she swiftly entered and pressed the button to Leonardo’s office.
The elevator beeped open, and out of fear, Isabella quickly ran into the hallway and scurried to Leonardo's office. She needed to know if Leonardo had seen the photo and if she would be fired. She was so scared and she could only hope that Leonardo didn't see the picture.
Fear gripped her as she reached his office, a mix of nervousness and dread clouding her thoughts.
With shaky hands, she knocked at the door. She didn't wait for his response before she pushed the door open and walked in.
Entering the office, Isabella found Leonardo seated in a swivel chair, his posture relaxed. He appeared to have been expecting her. As she approached him, Leonardo straightened up in his seat and adjusted his black suit before laying his palm on the desk.
"Lock the door behind you, Isabella", Leonardo ordered coldly, his face devoid of any trace of emotion. He had never smiled whenever he set his eyes on her, and even though Isabella was already used to it, she was still wondering what she had done wrong to him and what he wanted this time.
Her anxiousness spiked as she turned and walked back to lock the door, and immediately after it shut close with a thud, her heart skipped from her chest. Leonardo had never instructed her to lock the door whenever they were alone in his office, and this just made her scared.
Leonardo's gaze was fixed on her as she turned to face him, her heart racing at the thought of why he had urgently called her here, but whatever it is, it shouldn’t be about the picture. Isabella gulped before approaching his desk and placing the printed documents on it.
"Sir, I'm sorry I'm late, but I came with the files…”Isabella tried to explain but Leonardo didn't wait for her to finish speaking before he snapped in to finish her statement.
"And your boobies", Leonardo cut off her words with a sly smile on his lips as the unexpected remark left Isabella momentarily stunned.
