Chapter 99: Chapter 99

The next morning Barbara dress to go to work, she is in a hurry to go out, when Calvin called out to her.

Her dad is aware that the she is trying to skip breakfast again. "You're not planning on leaving without having breakfast with the family, are you?"

Of cause not, I am really late and dad, I got an appointment as the COO of the company.

What? Claudia echoed in shocked, how could Barbara fly so high.

Why are you shock? You think I don't deserve it? Barbara asked with her gaze on Claudia.

Of cause, you don't deserve it, I am hundred percent sure, it's because you are sleeping with both men...

Claudia! Calvin yelled in frustration.

Sorry dad, I should know that, your princess is back and I am nothing to you. Calvin press his lips together with his eyes closed trying so hard to not get mad at Claudia.

Stop it Claudia, you and Barbara are my princess, she is your baby sister and you should care for her, I want you two to love each other, so that when I am no longer here, you and her could run the business, like having a CEO and a COO attached to my two daughters name when I retired will not be bad idea.

Calvin want to build love between his two daughters, he want them to have a bond that will be unbreakable, he believes that the family that stay together will never be broken by the enemy but unfortunately, Claudia and Barbara can never be friends.

Talking about that, who will be the CEO and who will be the COO? Claudia asked out of the blue, making Calvin choke, Calvin is never going to give his company to this irresponsible daughter of his, she could be the COO, working closely with the CEO, which he is sure is going to be Barbara, not the other way round.

Barbara, how did you get that position? Calvin asked ignoring Claudia's questions, Hazel look at her daughter sour face, her husband ignoring her is a sign to show that Barbara is his first choice.

Oh Gordon's share is much and he is way too busy that he can't handle that, so they voted for me and fortunately, they think I am capable...

Father, you haven't answer me, will you give Barbara the CEO position. Barbara gaze move back to Claudia, she try to understand Claudia, in all her twenty years of living with this family, she doesn't even know the crime, she committed against Claudia. I will take your silent to mean Yes. Claudia stand from the dinning, Barbara look at her father.

You shouldn't ever think of giving me that...

Barbara stop it, you should go to work and I will be traveling, so you could stay at Gordon for now.

Alright dad! Barbara stand from the dinning, Hazel didn't say a word, she is acting really different now, she is acting like, she is not affected with her husband's action, she had resolve in her heart, to used subtle means to get what she wants. Calvin too left the dinning without saying a word to Hazel.

Good morning! Sir Dante. Barbara greeted him casually, Dante raised his eyes, from the files in front of him, his eyes opened a little wider than normal, as he scanned her from head to toe.

His unpleasant expression caused Barbara too to scan herself, she is wearing a simple office blouse and a pencil skirt that is short exposing her sexy legs.

As if that is not enough, there is a cut in the skirt, making it more revealing, Barbara like short things back then, now, it's seems it get worse or she is wearing all this to seduce him

Do you see, any staff in this company wear a skirt like this length? Dante asked with an annoying voice then pick up his files, he was reading, he is back to his serious look, that cold aura surrounding him is back.

Barbara muscle tightened, he look at him in frustration. Is he trying to control me over my dressing? Barbara said mentally then walked towards him, he could sense that Barbara is coming closer to him, he smiled inwardly, he is definitely going to get that sweet scent of Barbara.

Do you have problem with my grooming? She asked, a few meter away from him, not giving him the satisfaction of enjoying her scent. He didn't bulge,she sighed and goes back to her desk.

She is boiling in anger, how could Dante condemned her wears so fast? He is judging her, even though she love this kind of wears that doesn't make her an whore.

Barbara walked to her desk in anger, Dante is really unbearable, she is not the one that asked him to be gay but, why will a gay, get affected with the little exposed part of a female body.

She is still in her thought, when the telecom ring, he startled her making her jumped from her thought.

"I will be out to meet a client, about half an hour, you should be ready, so you could learn how to keep a conversation with a client" he end the line even before Barbara could say a word.

"Is he for real?" Barbara asked in whisper. Okay yes, I will be ready. She pulled the phone down after murmuring like he could hear her. Yes, I will go out, not sit here, studying stupid files.

Minutes past, Barbara was more excited to see how Dante approach his client, she stood up at exact twenty-four minutes then make her way to Dante.

I am ready. Dante raised his head, hearing Barbara's voice, he didn't say a word to her, he grabbed his stuff and head out, Sally is watching them, she was worrying where the two might to be going.

She hurry to Isla, Dante's assistant to get information about Dante and Barbara.

Hey who is chasing you? Isla asked. Where are they going?

How am I supposed to know? Mila look at her, also demanding a replied.

You are his assistant, so you are supposed to Know, go on and tell us. Mila urge her.

What's up with you? Are you in love with the boss? Isla asked in frustration.

Really? How come, you are the one snapping him when he is in his office? Why do I see you always stealing glance from him and hugging his chair. Sally look lost at the two woman.

That is not true, I am not in love with the boss.

You are a terrible liar, I could see you, curse ma Barbara, as she goes out with sir Dante.

Mila, you are crazy...

You two stop it, stop battling words because of my cousin, he is not going to fall for any of you. Sally leave the two women, eating themselves, she sighed badly, how could Dante make all this woman go crazy, if she wasn't related to him, probably, she too will be drooling over him.

Dante and Barbara were discussing with a client, he too is a handsome man and probably from one of the elite family in the city, he was accompany with his assistant, that might be same age with Barbara. Dante and Barbara sit opposite them.

They were having a nice business conversation, Dante is finding the proposal fair and the bargaining is mind blowing, it's more than an hour when the conversation started, Dante noticed that, the assistant eyes are fixed on Barbara's laps, and the most annoying thing, he try to have a conversation with Barbara about her personal life, with this naughty smile paste on his face.

Dante is really annoyed, he can't believe that he will appear with a girl and another man, will hit on her openly.

Barbara at the other hand is chitchatting with the boy to annoy Dante and this made him more frustrated.

Heading back to the car, Dante hit his door as soon as he sit in the driver's seat. "Next time don't wear this, you should wear something more comfortable and decent"

Why?

Are blind or stupid for you not to noticed that idiot is hitting on you? Or probably you like to get noticed and be hit on? Don't you feel uncomfortable with this?
