The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 31

“A penny for your thoughts?" Hailey asked Lex as they walked along the shore.

“I'm just thinking how my life would be after college." he rubbed his neck.

“Don't beat yourself about it, you're going to be a great dermatologist, I know so." she nudged him.

“ It's not about the profession, it's about getting the job, at least you've got your future secure." he sighed.

“Come on, you are a great student and any organisation to reject you, it's their loss. And what do you mean, I've got my future secured?" she urged.

“Duuh, you're the daughter to the Wayne's no need to struggle for a job," he stated the obvious.

“Just like Keith, I have no interest in their company, besides they've got bitchy Soraya to do so. And my major, aviation has nothing to do with their line of business, after here, it's aviation school for me." she voiced out slightly annoyed.

“No offence though, but becoming a pilot while you can take the easiest way out to work for them, isn't that pretty much?" the question he asked, broke the horse's back.

“Offence is taken. Why are you so keen on making me change my mind? You know what, to hell with their company and your opinions, you can shove them up to your ass. So great for an understanding boyfriend." she in the opposite direction.

“Hailey wait!" he called after her as she raised her middle finger at him.

“Calm down Hails, maybe he didn't mean for you to get angry. It was just a suggestion. Perhaps he didn't understand why that wasn't your goal and that of Keith's." Sunny reasoned with her.

“He's just hot-headed and wants me to do what he thinks is right for me. It's been my goal to be a pilot and I am going for it. " she determinedly smiled.

“Yes ma'am." Sunny chuckled at her friend who walked into her room. 

She's been through a lot since childhood and she hoped everyone would accept her decision to be what she wanted for once, not what her parents wanted. Lex should just understand that part of her and support her, not rather trying to push her into what she doesn't want to be.

She's starting to be herself, and there's no way I am going to stay and allow him try talking her out of her dreams, for once she gets to make her own decisions concerning her life, let her be!

All that façade her mom put up was to get them to agree to work in their company, she thought the woman had realised her mistakes and was working through to forgiveness, boy were they wrong. Both Keith and Hailey have swept the matter under the carpet, they just don't want to talk about it, and Sunny respects that. Sunny thought to herself as she kept the cookies in the oven.

“Who's your arm candy for tonight?" One of the journalists asked.

“He's a mystery for you to find out," Soraya added as she walked into the gala with Noah by her side. Though their relationship was a rocky one, he cared a lot about her.

“So I am your mystery man aie?" Noah asked.

“Well, I don't want the press to get the wrong idea about us," she said to him.

“Wrong idea?" he asked confused.

“Don't fret about it, come on there's some people you've got to meet." she changed the topic as they approached some of her clients.

Did she mean I was just a fling and all of this was just to satisfy her? he thought to himself.

“I'll bet you could get someone who is rich enough to go talk to your clients, I don't want to know whom you would introduce me as," Noah said walking out on her.

"Why is he so clingy and hot-headed?

He's beginning to sound like Zed. She reasoned as one of her clients approached her.

“Are you sure you need to do this? I could go in your stead?" Val inquired from her boss.
