Contract

Olivia didn't see the person holding her but she saw the look of shock on Frank's face.

Luna's unpleasant voice sang out in a shrill manner. Who are you to just barge in on...

Shut up!

Frank shouted in rage.

He could take it whenever Luna's srill voice was slithing other people, but certainly not his job.

I mean, he didn't want to get sacked yet.

Luna turned to Frank. Why are you yelling at me, Frankie?

Frank gritted his teeth, hoping that this garbage of a woman would shut up and leave quietly. But no, she wasn't that smart.

It is this ruffian that you should be yelling at not...

Shut up!!

Get out!

Frank almost yelled this two words simultaneously.

Luna shot him a look of disapproval before she walked out.

Frank turned to Scott and bowed respectfully.

B..boss, what are you doing here?

Scott's tone, mood and demeanor had totally changed, he looked more like a CEO now.

What do you mean? Do I need your permission to go out now?

Frank shook his head worriedly. No sir. If anything, I'm the one who needs your permission to go out.

Scott stared at him quizzically. Is that so?

Frank nodded frantically with a nervous smile.

Scott had an interested look on his face. Oh really? Then how about this? Don't ever show your face anywhere this lady appears...

Frank was about to say something in protest when Scott uttered the last part of his statement.

...Or you lose your job.

Olivia quickly wiped the tears that dropped from her eyes.

She was thankful and grateful to Scott.

Olivia stared up at the tall CEO who had been very kind to her. Seeing his confident look, She couldn't help but feel very safe and assured in his hands.

Frank was part of a team that had done a project directly with the CEO. So Frank had met Scott a few times and he was quite familiar with him.

Scott had on the other hand, had probably not remembered Frank untill Frank called him boss.

He had originally come with the intention of helping Olivia, but when Frank called him boss and he remembered Frank, he realized he could go all the way and exert his power to the fullest.

Frank was sure that Olivia had never met the CEO of page group so he was confused as to what the both of them were doing together.

He just broke up with Olivia yesterday, and She was already with another man?

I never knew She was such a slut!

Frank stammered. Actually sir...that is a little too hard to adhere to. I mean...I and Olivia work in the same company so I can't really avoid running into her...

Ohh? How about I fire you right now, so you don't have to run into her?

Frank smiled nervously. No, you don't have to do that. I understand all what you've said.

Scott's eyes were cold. Actually, you don't have a choice. Flaunt this orders and you're fired.

Frank was aghast. Even with all my years of service to the company?

They were going to fire him because of a mere girl? A girl that didn't even hold any sort of power.

The painful Irony of life.

Scott smiled brightly. Yes, along with all your years of crime to the company. Service and fraud, they go hand in hand, don't you think?

Frank swallowed.

Was Scott just blabbing? or did he actually know of all the fraudulent acts he had commited?

Frank's gaze shifted with Olivia wh stood meekly beside Scott with tears threatening to overflow.

Scott smirked. Are you wondering about her? She'smy girlfriend. Really pretty, don't you think so?

Frank forced his head to nod.

Olivia's heart stopped.

Then it started.

Olivia's heart pounded so violently that she feared that her organs would be destroyed by now because of too much blood.

An intense feeling of jealousy possessed Frank. He had dumped Olivia and left her with a five hundred thousand dollar bill to pay. He was expecting her to go down the drain and become history, but here she was, dating his boss.

The painful Irony of life!

You won't greet her? Scott asked.

Frank bowed slightly. Good day ma'am.

Olivia didn't know what to say so she just kept quiet.

Scott waved his hand as if he was shooing a bird away. Alright, scurry on and out of here.

Frank forced a smile and bowed, then he dragged his feet out of the restaurant.

Scott took Olivia to a table and they both sat there. Scott stared at Olivia and her absent minded outlook.

TAP

TAP

TAP

Scott tapped gently on the table to get Olivia's atention.

Olivia raised her head.

You won't still speak?

Olivia wanted to ay something but she ended up crying instead.

You're quite the crybaby aren't you? Scott asked after she had calmed a litle.

Olivia shook her head. No, trust me, I'm not. I've just had a really bad yesterday, that's all.

Scott nodded approvingly. He knew she was saying the truth.

Why did you do that? Olivia asked.

Scott looked lost for a second. Oh, do you mean Frank?

Olivia waved her hand in front of her face. No, not him. That bastard deservd the humiliation he got.

Then what do you mean? Scott asked.

Olivia's face turned pink and Frank instantly knew what she was talking about.

Frank laughed at the shy girl. I did it to protect you. If frank thinks that You're my girlfriend, then he wouldn't try to pull stunts.

Olivia smiled. To protect her? She lked the sound of that.

Tell me a little about yourself.

Olivia sighed. That was one thing she never did (telling people about herself.) ut she had come to trust the man in fron of her and it would be unfair if she didn't open up to him.

After hearing Olivia's tale, Scott could only discern one thing. You're in serious need of money?

Olivia nodded embarrassedly.

Scott brought out his phone and typed something on it before keeping it.

Scott sighed. I'm under serious pressure from my parents. They say I need to get married, And they're patient to see me marry. Know what they aren't patient to see?

Olivia shook her head, not knowing where he was going with his story.

They are not patient to see me get a girlfriend. According to them, If I have a girlfriend, then they wouldn't wait for too long before I get married.

A man walked up to Scott, he bowed and dropped a suitcase beside Scott. After that, he bowed and left.

Scott brough out a book with thick black covers and littl leaves.

He placed the book on the table while looking at Olivia intently.

His words were precise and very straight to the point. How about....

...A contract?
