Chapter 3 Sicko Boss

Three years later.

Night was young and many luxury cars and reporters geared up with cameras and equipment gathered at the gates to the Fetillo Hilton Hotel.

Golden Age Group was hosting a party here tonight and had invited the business tycoons of Fetillo to the event.

When the reporters caught wind of the news, they flocked over, hoping to get news that would make the headlines.

At 8 p.m, a sleek Maybach pulled over before the hotel.

"Mr. Reed! It's Mr. Reed from the Golden Age Group!" the reporters yelled and rushed over with their cameras and lights.

Josh Reed was dressed in a white suit and wore a frivolous smile on his face as he got out of the car.

Supermodel Ivy, who was dressed in a chic off shoulder evening dress, got out from the other side of the car. Josh then reached out to hold Ivy's hand before they decently posed for the camera.

Tiana was seated in the passenger's seat with a briefcase in her hand and watched Josh and Ivy through the window.

"What the hell. I'm just an assistant. Why can't Josh leave me out of a party like this? Is he a sicko or what?" she grumbled silently.

Driver beside her reminded, "Assistant Ye, please get off the car! Young Master would be displeased if you're late."

With a sigh, she opened the car door and lowered her head as she got out of the car with her briefcase.

As Josh had already arrived at the entrance to the hotel, arm in arm with Ivy, Tiana hastened her footsteps to keep up with them. Just when she reached the entrance, the reporters behind her exclaimed, "Austin Taylor! Austin Taylor is here as well!"

Tiana turned reflexively when she heard Austin's name. She then saw an Aston Martin pull over slowly before the gates to the hotel. A security guard stepped forward and opened the car door respectfully.

Austin then got out of the car. He looked handsome in his black suit and his aura was still as powerful as what it was three years ago.

Just when Tiana was lost in her thoughts, the security guard opened the door on the other side of the car. Rose Cook, in a fiery red evening dress, smiled as she slowly got out.

"Wow, they're such a handsome couple!"

"You don't say, the lady is the daughter of a secretary while the guy is a business tycoon. They're a match made in heaven!"

Crowd rattled. As Tiana stared at the couple, a cold sneer appeared on her face.

"An unfaithful man and a mistress, a match made in heaven indeed," she thought.

Without the slightest intention of staying on and watching the irksome couple, Tiana quickly turned and hastened her steps to catch up with Josh.

Josh and Ivy had already entered the elevator. When Tiana noticed the door was about to close, she dashed over as quickly as she would in a hundred-metre sprint.

Reaching out her hand, she stopped the elevator door right when it was about to close. She entered the elevator, Josh sneered, "Assistant Ye, you seem to enjoy scaring others, don't you?"

"I'm sorry!" Tiana lowered her head and apologised.

Josh snorted coldly and warned, "You'd better follow us closely the next time. If you step out of line again, I'll fire you!"

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind!"

As Tiana was extremely polite and respectful, Josh could not find a reason to flare up at her and simply let her off the hook after glaring at her.

When the elevator stopped on the 18th floor, Josh wrapped his arms around Ivy's waist and led her out. Tiana quickly followed them with the briefcase in her arms. When they arrived at the entrance to the hall, Josh turned and instructed, "Go and wait for me in the lounge. Bear in mind that you'll have to be on standby. Your bonus for this month will be halved if I couldn't reach you."

"Yes, Mr. Reed. Got it!"

After Josh and Ivy entered the hall, Tiana felt as if she was relieved of a great burden and turned to dash straight for the lounge.

Meanwhile, the elevator on the other end, too, stopped with a “ding”. When Austin and Rose stepped out of the elevator, Austin caught a glimpse of Tiana, who was opening the door to the lounge at the end of the corridor. He froze for a moment.

"Tiana ?" he thought.

"No, she had disappeared for three years, Why would she appear now?" he mused.

"I must be mistaken," he concluded.

When Rose noticed Austin staring fixedly at the other end of the corridor, she glanced towards where he was looking but saw nothing there. Feeling baffled, she asked, "Austin, what are you looking at?"

"It's nothing. Let's go."He replied as usual with his cold tone.

Tiana waited in the lounge for more than an hour and was so hungry that her stomach began to growl. "Josh's such a sadist. There he is, having the time of his life with a beautiful woman and a delicious, luxurious buffet that he could eat to his heart's content. Meanwhile, as his assistant, I could only starve and wait for him here. He's really an evil capitalist!" she grumbled silently.

Just when she was lost in her thoughts, Josh called and instructed, "Go to the hall to get yourself some food. Remember what I said. Don't wander around! Scram back to the lounge to wait for me after you're done with your meal!"

"Yes, Mr. Reed."

Tiana then pulled open the door to the hall and strode right in. Although everyone was rich and glamorously dressed, she merely took one swift glance at them before she went straight for the buffet area.

Tiana helped herself to a glass of juice and a plate of food. But before she could find herself a place to settle down and eat, she heard someone say, "Get me some food here!"
