Aframinutes later, the door Eennedy, along with Jassou, Florence and a third manate land never seen before entered. “Hella, M. Nomura,” Josh sad, his head held form,

The sound of Leonica’s palm making contact with the supposed stranger’s lett cheek was what drew every single person present out of the haze they had been put In alter witnessing what he had just don
Stappering a few steps hack due to the Impact, he covered his stinging check, while Leonica spat on the floor, going the extra mile to wipe her lips to show how much his act disgusted her.
“Ldn’t know who you u are, but you should have at least known better than to do something like that, especially with someone like me. Don’t you think that’s a bit
reckless?
Jaxson swallowed thickly, not knowing what was happening as the other three people in the room stared at the CEO with shock in their eyes. “Florence?” Leonca called, catching the other female off guard. “Is your boss crazy?” Florence remained silent at the question, not because she was too afraid to answer, but rather because even st
even she didn’t know the answer to the question.
I mean, who kisses someone they just met out of nowhere? Love at first sight aside, only a mad man would dss a lady to jog her memory.
Wait a minute, Florence thought, narrowing her eyes, what did her boss mean by jogging Leonica’s memory?
Had these two met before?
Leonica sighed, and turned to the male. “You, what’s your name?
He flashed her small smile and answered. “Jamil Vanada.”
The name rolled effortlessly off his tongue that to the others present, it meant nothing, but to Legnica, who was currently trying her best to keep her expression neutral, it meant everything. She knew him.
Who wouldn’t recognize the face of their high school bully. The one person who, along with his goons, had nearly made life a living hell, despite all the authority and riches she had thanks to her family name. “You,” she began, pointing at Jason and Florence. “And you, get out.” She ordered, warming a look of confusion from the two.
“”Excuse me?”
“Get out.” She repeated. “Unless you want to stay and watch as your boss males a fool of himself.”
The stranger, Jamil, as he was now known as, chuckled and turned towards his two employees. “Love.” He commanded.
When Florence and Jason, Florence especially, showed signs of hesitation, the smile on his lips completely disappeared, “Stay if you want the first thing you see tomorrow moming to be lay off letter.” Hearing this, they didn’t dare utter a single word and quickly left, leaving Jamil and Leonica alone in the office.
“What the hell are you doing here, Vanadas?” Leonica asked as the crossed her arms, eyes never loving the man in front of her.
“Wow,” He laughed. “You still hate me, don’t you.”
“Of course, I do. What type of question is that?” she
ir retorted.
Jamil chuckled, finding her retort funny. “Oh, come on. Are you still mad about the past? You’re holding a grudge against me.”
“I have a right to. Now, tell me what you want or might as well walk your ass out my door.”
ty, aren’t we impatient,” He muttered, earning an eye roll from the woman “Alright, alright. I came here because I’m interested in forming a partnership with
“No shit Sherlock” Leonica sassed. Of course she knew that, she had read the meeting briefing.
God, now that she thinks about it, perhaps she should have declined this damn meeting.
“Tell me the real reason Vantadas.”
Jamil sighed. “Fine,” He said, stepping forward “ut straight to the chase, I want you.”
“You.” Leonica’s expression looked stunned for a few seconds before she suddenly busted our laughing. “You want
“I want what we had-“And that was enough to wipe the smile off Leonica’s lips as she abruptly internpted him.
“Shut up.” Her expression darkened, and she narrowed her eyes, not caring about how Jamil had inclied, “Now listen here, partnership or whatever you call it, I don’t care and I most definitely don’t want it, so you can take your proposal and shove it down your damn that. Get out”
Jamil remained silent as Leonica spol, but he did manage to give her a small smile before saying “That’s the answer I expected to hear. But,” He took a step forward, closing the distance in away Leonica didn’t like but she stood her ground. “Do you think you can reject me that easily, Leonica?” She frowned. “I had my way back in high school, and have it now, I want you, and I will do anything, and I mean anything, to have you. Even if that means destroying you.” “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Leonica mumbled as her eyes narrowed. “Do you sealously believe you have a chance, Jamil? I was a fool in high school, I gave you a chance, not this time around. So, take your lackeys and your dam self and get the fuck out of my office, before I calls
Isecurity.”
#ch,” fomil clicked his tongue. You haven’t changed a bit, haven’t you. You’re still stubborn and you haven’t gotten rid of your pride, not that’s not a problem,” He leaned forward, his lips a few inches away from hers, but she didn’t push him away. Me simply stared at him, waiting for him to continue.
