Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 27

I got up from my seat and she took a few steps back.

I snatched the papers from her hands before going over at the desk and matched the documents.

Well, looks like she found the other half.

I threw the papers at the desk and made my way to where she was standing.

"Why were they not in the file?"

She stepped back and looked down but didn't answer.

She is really testing my fucking patience right now.

"Why. Were. They. Not. In. The. Fucking. FILE?!"

She flinched at my tone, but still didn't answer.

What the fuck is wrong with her?

"Answer me, God damnit!?"

She jumped from her place at my tone and looked at me, I saw tears pooled up in her eyes.

"W-when I was re-arranging them and putting t-them back in the file, I forgot to place the other half a-a-as they were placed behind the computer and I didn't see them."

She took a deep breath after.

Didn't see them?

"First you think what your boss says, is funny like a meme. Then you feel the fucking right to misplace my very important documents all because you didn't fucking see them!?"

I heard her whimper and she sniffled back a tear.

"Thank God I checked them or tomorrow at the fucking meeting we would have been looking at their fucking faces."

"Iam s-sorry, I didn't...."

"Fucking leave. Get out my sight before I lose my mind."

And with that she scurried off.

This woman, I swear she will be the death of me.

I let the cold water trickle down from my head to my back. A shower feels really nice.

Today is the important meeting with Wentmore and CO's Architectures.

I have all the documents and contract ready, but I know I won't be signing the contract right away.

Iam a big deal for them just as they are for me.

By me being their client they are getting good sale prices and are making a name for themselves. When people will find that this architecture firm has worked with the Kezr Heznaya, they are totally gonna raise the bars.

It's important for me as they are really best at what they do. I have seen some of their designs and outlets and let's say Iam fucking impressed, and Iam never fucking impressed.

But today, Iam not gonna sign the contract right away. Knowing these firms, I know they are desperate for a client as they have recently opened a year ago. Iam gonna make them show that Iam impressed but not too much, and also I don't fucking trust anybody, so that's a hard deal. I cannot just sign it right away although I have been thinking about this meeting for a month.

My thoughts somewhat drift off to Rozella and how scared she looked by my outburst yesterday.

I mean she slipped up and had to pay the price for it, but I still can't help but feel guilty about it.

Fuck.

I punched the shower glass causing it to shatter and breathed loudly.

"I don't know. Maybe, a certain somebody?"

"What's with y'all's certain somebody? Elissa said the same."

"About what?"

"About how Rozella asked her, why I don't eat breakfast."

He chuckled and took a U-turn for the office.

"Aww look at little Ella caring for you"

"You know what? Fuck you"

"I don't think Rozella will approve though, but if you're down then......"

"Fucking asshole!" I shut the car door upon arriving the building and heard his laughter behind.

Mother fucker.

"In!" I permitted, very well knowing it's Rozella.

She walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand, I got a little excited knowing I will drink my new favorite coffee.

"Sir, Coffee." But all my excitement went down the fucking drain when I saw her place my usual black coffee in front of me.

I looked at the coffee and then back at her with raised eyebrows.

"Coffee Sir....?"

"Why didn't you bring me the one that you bought me yesterday?"
