Chapter 55: Chapter 55
"Wow! So this is what it means to be a billionaire! Thank you so much, but I think it's too much. You already bought me stuff for my apartment and all, giving me a car or more would be taking too much from you. I'll feel like a gold digger." I was excites at first, but then realized that I couldn't accept it.
In a second, Sebastian was in front of me as he used his Alpha quick speed. He cupped my face in his hands as his alluring dark eyes captured my hazel ones, "You're not a gold digger, Kat and anyone that knows you knows that. You also didn't ask for this, I'm the one willing to do this for you. So I insist that you pick a car because I love you, Kat."
My lips stretched into a large smile, "I love you too, Sebastian and thank you so much for being so generous."
"You don't need to thank me at all, cupcake. Now, which one do you want? The other tan Mustang is brand new along with the Audi and the Bugatti." He asked me his he let go of my face and stepped back to face the cars.
I looked over at the cars that he mentioned and tried to choose which one I want. Sebastian watched me with a smile tugging at his lips and a pleased look on his face like he was glad that I agreed. He was that generous even though ruthless to enemies. After some seconds of thinking, I pointed at the red Bugatti, "I'm going to go with that."
He nodded, "That's great! I'm going to give it to you with the other mustang so that you will have two."
My eyes widened in shock and joy at his words, and I turned to him, "Oh my God, Sebastian! Thank you so much!"
I couldn't contain my joy so I wrapped my arms around him in a hug, squeezing his large, toned, muscular and tattooed body against mine. He chuckled in his velvety deep voice, sending delightful shivers through me and he wrapped his arms around me in a hug too. My heart raced at the feeling of his muscular torso and my face flushed too, so I quickly let go and moved back, looking down shyly.
"I'm glad that you like them, but I have to ask, do you know how to drive?" He asked me as his alluring dark eyes studied me, curiously.
"Surprisingly, yes, I have a driver license. I got it with Sophie's car when I was twenty because I was hoping to make enough to buy a car, but the job wasn't paying that much."
My words made a concerned frown fall on his brows and he asked me, "And what about your job at Wolfe Corp? Are you being paid enough?"
I nodded my head vigorously with an excited grin on my lips, "Yeah, the pay is so much better than all of my other jobs."
His brows raised up in surprise and question, "Okay, what is manager Heather paying you?"
"Well since I just started working here, I haven't received my first pay yet, but I was told that I would be paid $70 per month and would receive bonuses for doing well." I explained to him, but he actually looked shocked and angry at the same time.
"She's paying you $70 only? Per month? I have seen the work that you do she I did that background check and on the day that you worked in my office. You deserve so much more than that, besides, the pay that I send to her for all our employs are so much more than that. You write so many articles per day and I know that there are stages of your work where you have to track celebrities and interview them which is stressful."
I was also shocked, I thought that I was getting a lot, but it seems that I just didn't know any better. The jobs that I have had before paid a lot lesser and knew I was under paid since I did so much more. However, I thought that the pay at Wolfe Corp was decent pay. "Whoa! So she has been hoarding the money instead of distributing it as she is supposed to do? I also thought that I was being paid fairly."
He shook his head as his jaw was still clenched in anger and his brows furrowed, "No, you deserve better and she knows that too. At Wolfe Corp, we give several instructions to our writers and sales team because they bring in the customers. So you might even have to attend events or bars or fight clubs just to get an interview with a celebrity, this has caused a few writers to be injured. You can see that we require more work than most companies, so you see why we can't be under paying you."
I nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, "Yeah, I understand and she's being a very mean person for not paying us the right amount."
He let out a deep breath and his face softened as he looked at my face, "And that's why I would confront her tomorrow. I would have her arrested actually for fraud since she has been hoarding the full payments."
I grimaced as I imagined how that would go and I shook my head, "No, don't arrest her or fire her. She will think it's my fault and hate me even more. Can you just talk to her and see if she will change? If you warn her and she doesn't listen then you can arrest her."
Sebastian stared at me for a few seconds before he finally sighed, "Fine, I will let her off the hook for you and I will reduce her pay."
I smiled at him, gratefully, "Thanks, Sebastian."
He nodded and he looked pleased to see me smiling, "So what do you want to be paid now? How much raise do you want? You can call any amount and it's yours."
I felt shocked again for the nth time that night as my eyes widened, "What? Really? But wouldn't that be cheating since you're my boyfriend and big boss?"
He shook his head as an amused smile touched his lips, "Not at all, cupcake. As long as it's a reasonable amount."
I took in a deep breath and let it out as I thought about how much I really deserved per month. After thinking for a minute or two, I looked up at him, "I don't know… You should decide for me."
"Okay, I will let it be a surprise for you by the end of the month and I will be the one sending you pay checks from now. Not Heather. I don't want her trying to reduce yours since she especially has her eyes on you."
I nodded, "Yeah, I would love that too. Besides, I can ask Tessa if she has been paying them the amount that you told her to or if she's still paying $70."
His smile widened and he took my hand in his, "Yeah, that's a good idea. So now, let's go up to my pent house. You'll love the view."
My grin turned excited again and I nodded, "Okay, I can't wait!"
He interlaced our fingers and we started towards the door that led inside the apartment, but before we entered through the door, he pressed a black button beside it and the garage door started closing automatically. I felt amazed watching and turned my attention back to him as he tugged me through the door. The apartment looked like a normal one except for how large and expensive it looked.
We made our way to the elevator and I pressed the button for it to open. As soon as the doors opened, we entered into it and he pressed the button for the top floor which was the 5th floor. He glanced over at me as we waited for the elevator to reach his floor and a teasing smile showed on his lips as he asked me, "Do you remember that night in the elevator on my first day there?"
A blush rose on my cheeks and I nodded shyly as I remembered exactly what time he was talking about. It was the time that he kissed me inside the elevator and it became very heated. I loved how adventurous and hot it was. "Yeah, I remember how you kissed me in the elevator."
He stepped closer to me and held my hand tighter as his captivating dark eyes held my hazel eyes and his smile widened as he murmured, "How about how you kissed me?"
My blush deepened and I looked down, but his hand cupped my cheek and moved my eyes back up to his. He looked amused at my reaction and he murmured, "I want to kiss you again, now."
My breathing deepened in arousal and I breathed out, "Then what's stopping you?"
He looked surprised at my bold words and even I felt surprised, but his surprise was soon replaced with want, love and desire. His alluring dark eyes dropped down to my lips and I felt my tummy squeezed with desire, excitement and anticipation as the tension between us rose. In a second, his perfect, plump pink lips were crashing on mine. But as soon as we started making out, we were cut short by the sound of the elevator doors opening with a ding sound.
We pulled apart and stared at each other for a few seconds as our chests rose and fell with want. He tugged my hand that was already in his and led me out of the elevator.
There was a door facing us among the three doors on the 5th floor. As he opened the door and we entered, I was amazed at how beautiful his pent house was. There were stairs facing us which had no rails, but designed in a modern way and they looked to be leading to many floors above. It looked like a story house building inside an apartment or better yet, a mansion inside an apartment.
