Chapter 17
"You've messed around me, Ms Flow. Soon, we'll see that your arrogance will pay a hefty price. Even you never imagined this before."
--
Downstairs, Karyl looks annoyed, waiting for her favourite model, whom she loved like her own sister. She wanted to follow her to the top floor. Unfortunately, she wasn't even allowed onto that floor without making an appointment with CEO Gilbert.
"This company is really complicated. We have to make an appointment to meet the billionaire." Karyl was upset.
Karyl was tired of waiting without doing anything that made her grumble. "Huh, it's been a long time. I'm pretty sure Flow is having fun with Mr Gilbert. Meanwhile I... I'm like a lost person on this floor alone. I came here to meet my idol, Darren Ewald Gilbert. Unfortunately, my wish had to be crushed by your selfishness, Flow. You suck!"
Inadvertently, the corner of her eye caught the clockwise direction on her wrist. It didn't feel like 30 minutes had passed, but who she was waiting for still hadn't shown her face at all.
"Watch out, Flow. I'm so mad at you." Karyl grumbled while gripping both hands until the knuckles turned white. Her pretty face hardened with tightened lips while her gaze straight ahead looked at the employees of the Gilbert Company who were passing by.
"Let's go home!"
A familiar voice sounded sharp and tickled Karyl's ears. She immediately turned her face to look directly at the frail back that had walked away from her.
Karyl seemed to jerk her legs roughly to stand up straight. She angrily followed Flower from behind. She was in a hurry to approach the owner of the slim body, whose status as the model.
She violently jerked the model's slender shoulders so that there was a groan of pain.
"Ouch..." Flower's hazel eyes gleam squirmed in displeasure.
"It hurts," She snapped.
"How rude you are treating me. If my shoulder is injured, do you want to take responsibility, huh?" She added.
Without the slightest fear, Karyl approached Flower with a cynical look. "I'm not your driver! Can't you treat me well, huh? You just make me wait for you downstairs like an idiot. I'm your manager, Flow!"
"If you don't want to wait for me downstairs then, just follow me upstairs, okay? A simple matter like that doesn't need to be exaggerated!" Flower snapped.
"What did you say, huh? Do it again, Ms Flower Carnabel!"
Flower was already angry. Her manager's attitude made her even more furious.
"I don't have time to argue with you!"
"Yes, of course. Because you've been spending your time having fun with Mr Gilbert, haven't you? Answer me!"
"What are you talking about, Karyl? What a mess! Where is the car key?!"
Karyl didn't give it either, except to shower Flower with disdain. Flower was angry until her blood boiled. That was the most appropriate word to describe how she was feeling right now.
Flower's beautiful face immediately hardened, her lips tightened, and her gaze turned bright. "I repeat once again, where is the car key?!" Her hiss right in Karyl's ear made the owner shuffle back.
Darren had made her infuriated. Now, her blood was boiling even more when faced with Karyl's attitude that had exhausted her patience.
She then roughly grabbed her manager's bag and then threw it back right into Karyl's chest.
"My emotions are unstable, so don't add to my anger, Karyl. Unless you are ready for me to use you as an outlet." Flower's voice sounded sharp, tickling the ears so that it gave Karyl goosebumps.
"If you want to come home with me, come in!"
"I can go home alone," Karyl replied shortly.
Flower' soft lips lifted upwards before driving the car at high speed out of the Gilbert Company grounds, leaving Karyl, who showered her with scorching eyes.
"I've never seen her this angry. I firmly believe that Mr Darren has hurt her ego. As far as I know, she would be furious if her ego was hurt."
It was long enough that Karyl had been immersed in her own mind with a frozen body. It was clear that a gentle tap on the left shoulder had brought her consciousness back.
"Sorry to startle you, Miss..." Kenzie paused with a scrutinising look at her pretty face.
"Are you new to this office? You look unfamiliar." He whispered at the last word.
Karyl didn't answer except to give Kenzie a smirk. "What a strange man." She cursed in tandem with the footsteps towards a row of taxis that looked neatly lined up.
Meanwhile, Kenzie locked his gaze on the owner of a slender body who was both ignorant and haughty. His memory instantly centred on the owner of hazel eyes, who became one of the residents of Gilbert At London Apartment.
"Your arrogance already resembles Ms Flower Carnabel, Miss. However, you are much more docile. Ms Flower is already like a lioness. Savage, wild, terrifying, and of course, sadistic. Ah, what a shame she is so beautiful. Her beauty is absolutely incomparable. I have never met a beautiful woman as beautiful as her."
'Oh my God, what am I doing here? I must immediately carry out Mr Gilbert's orders. If the file is not on his desk this afternoon, then my life is at stake. I don't want to be an easy target for that half-demon wrath.' Kenzie thought.
He then immediately gave orders to the trusted detective to carry out his duties.
The detective he hired was truly professional. In a short time, all the information about Flower Carnabel has been summarised in detail.
"All the information is clearly written in this document, sir." Said the detective by handing over the red rope folder.
"Thank you. Your performance never disappoints me." Kenzie praised him, combined with a warmly welcomed helping hand.
"Alright then, excuse me, Mr Kenzie."
"Let me take you to the front."
After the detective's departure, Kenzie glanced at the document that seemed to interest him. He wanted to open the contents to find out information about Flower Carnabel. However, at the same time, he doubted.
