Upon stepping out of the elevator, Selena had arrived at the top floor right outside the president’s office. “Miss Yard, President Fowler is waiting inside.” The employee left after walking her to the office’s entrance.
Selena then took a deep breath and knocked on the door, entering the office when she heard Pierre’s deep voice. As soon as she stepped inside, the first thing that came into her view was the piled up documents on the table that Pierre had to go through. While the man’s absorption in work reminded her of herself back in those days, she was still rather surprised at the sight of his overwhelming workload.
A moment later, Pierre looked up at Selena only when she sat right in front of him. “What do you want from me?” Selena directly asked the man the question with a poker face.
Pierre responded with a glacial chuckle and continued to bury himself in work. “I made myself clear the last time, didn’t I? Beg me, and I’ll undo everything for you.”
“You and I both know that we have no intention of working with each other. So, why must you force my hand since there is no mutual desire to collaborate? But when I tried to move on, you made everyone cut ties with me! Don’t you think this is a bit too much, Pierre Fowler?!” Selena spoke her feelings, even though she did her very best to keep herself calm.
Pierre ignored Selena’s words and said, “Get me a cup of coffee.”
As much as Selena wanted to give the man a slap in the face, she had no choice but to give in considering her desperate situation. Therefore, she reluctantly went ahead to make Pierre a cup of coffee and came back a few moments later, placing it right beside his hand.
“It’s too hot!”
“This isn’t hot enough!”
“You forgot the sugar!”
“Where is the milk?”
After countless repeated attempts, Selena finally managed to deliver a cup of coffee that Pierre was satisfied with. “A grown man asking for sugar and milk to be added into his coffee?! What a weirdo!” Selena mumbled to herself almost inaudibly.
