Chapter 4

I wiped my face and drank water from the plastic bottle.

 "What happened, Miss?" he asked me. 

"I got stuck in traffic, and even hit the back of my car, so I left the car there at Edsa." I answered his question as I leaned back in the swivel chair.

 He nodded. 

“Did you know that Mr. Chin is waiting for you in the meeting room?" he said to me. 


My nostrils widened.
 


"What?
Why did you just tell me just for now? "I asked him.

 "Because I know you're still resting," he says. 

I winced. Of all the people who can wait for me, why is Mr. Chin, really? I took my make-up kit out of the bag and put a little make-up on my face. I no longer bothered to apply lipstick to my lips because they were already red. I got up and left the office to go see Mr. Chin in the meeting room. I was no more, and I immediately opened the door and entered. I always found him sitting in a chair and always looking at his watch. It smiled when it saw me. 

"It's my first time waiting for you in a long time, Miss Vergara. Do you know I wasted my time with you?" he says. 

My ears tingle. I don’t like this Chinese behavior. All the boastfulness, he caught it all. I raised an eyebrow at him. 

"I didn't order you to wait for me, Mr. Chin.

He laughed, which I think is like the devil.

"It's okay, Miss Vergara, if you'll allow what I want to happen," he said, and looked at me emphatically. 

“What is that, Mr. Chin? If I can hear anything from you that was inappropriate, you had better leave my building. " I said in a serious tone.

 "It's easy, Miss Vergara, so you won't have a boyfriend because of the habit you have." He said.

"Did it just come here to annoy me? I don't have to change my habit just to like you, Mr. Chin." was my answer.

 He laughed a little, and he adjusted his seat. 

"You don't have to change your usual habit because I want you no matter what, Zaneska, "

Suddenly, my forehead furrowed at what he said. We were not close enough for him to mention my first name. But what caught my attention was the last thing he said. Does he need me? But why? He thinks he can get me with a sweet word of him? 

"Say what you want to say, Mr. Chin. I have a lot to do in my office," I said. 

“Just give me time, Miss. Vergara, even just a moment. I noticed that when the two of us talked. It's like you're in a hurry.” He said, smiling. It's like he's remembering something that made him smile.

“Haven't you wondered why I pulled out my investments?" He asked me.

 "No, since it's your attitude that thinks twice at the end of the day." My response.

"No either, Miss Vergara, I have an offer for you that we can both benefit from," it says. I don’t like the destination of our conversation with this Chinese man.

 "Speak up, Mr. Chin, so we can finish." I said.


 "You're really impatient, Zaneska," He said to me.

 "All right, I want you to marry me for the merger of our companies," He says.


 I was right to suspect what he wanted to tell me.
 

"Do you think I'll let what you want to happen?" I asked him.

 "Why not? Your company will grow when you marry me," Mr. Chin said, 

"I don't need your company for my company to grow. I can grow it without having to marry someone.” I said.

 It lost his smile. Suddenly, it stood up and left me inside the meeting room. I took a deep breath as he left. I smiled. His company even made an excuse. Maybe my company is what he needs to grow his business. I left the meeting room and went back to my office. Randolf was not there when I came back inside. I sat down and started unfolding the papers. The door opened and Randolf entered with a woman. 

"Miss, Samara, my girlfriend. She's here to apply for a job," he said to me.

 Is this Randolf's girlfriend of four years? Obviously, their relationship will last longer because I think this woman is kind.

 She smiled at me.

 "All right, give her the position she is fit for." My response. 

"Thank you, Ma'am," Randolf's girlfriend said. 

"Your welcome.

The two of them left the office. I leaned my back on the swivel chair. I was thinking about what happened last night. I was so curious if someone chased me. And I can't even remember that my parents had a misunderstanding with someone.

I picked up my phone and someone called.

 "Hello, Detective, come here to the office. We need to talk." I told him on the other line. 

I put down the phone and placed it on the table. The door opened and Randolf went inside. 

"Please grab me some lunch, Randolf," I told him.

 He nodded and left the office again. I heard a knock on the door.

 "Please come in," I said. The door opened and Detective Morgan entered. 

"Sit down, Detective." I told him.

 It sat on the couch in front of me.

 "I was surprised because all of a sudden you called me Miss Vergara," he said to me.

 "Did I disturb you?" I asked. 

"Of course not," he replied.

 "Last night, someone chased my car." I said.

"Did you see the face?" he asked me. 

"No, Detective, because I didn't stop to find out who was in the car. I was scared because my car was running fast but it still chased me, so I thought I was really what they needed." I said. 

 "What do you want me to do?" He asked me.
