A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

AFTER BRIANNA RAN OUT OF THE RESTAURANT

“Jeez! That girl is sooo beautiful.” Simeon stated dreamily, the image of Brianna’s cleavage still in his head.

“She sure is. But you shouldn’t have blurted out that statement that you made earlier. You made me lose a billion dollar.” Mr. Sergio said and glared hard at Simeon whose cheeks became red.

“I’m so sorry about that, boss. But you can’t really blame me, she’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever set my eyes on.” Simeon uttered.

“Well that’s true. She’s even more beautiful than my wife was when she was still young. Too bad that she didn’t consider my offer of paying her monthly without having to work. I would have spoiled her with money but she chose to go with that young, handsome but rude Adrian. That’s her loss tho.” Mr. Sergio said with loathfulness.

“Yeah, that’s her loss indeed.” Simeon agreed with his boss.

“What are we still doing here? Let’s leave since we don’t have any business here again.” Mr. Sergio said and they both stood up and left.

**BRIANNA**

Brandon drove the car into the company’s premises and I didn’t wait for him to stop the car before I jumped out of the car without thinking twice.

“Brianna! Do you want to kill yourself?!” I heard Mr. Adrian yell but I acted as if I didn’t hear him.

I walked into the building without looking at where I was going and I bumped into someone. I looked up at the person I bumped into and it turned out to be Lewis.

“Sorry for bumping into you, Lewis.” I apologized in a low tone.

“It’s no problem, Brianna. What’s wrong? You look like someone just offended you.” He stated.

“Oh, someone just offended me alright.” I answered grumpily.

“And let me guess, that someone is Mr. Adrian.” He said looking at something or rather, someone behind me.

“Brianna, why did you jump out of the car like that? Do you want to injure yourself?” Mr. Adrian queried.

“Why do you care? Whether or not I’m planning to injure myself, it should be none of your business.” I snapped and walked out on him.

“Wait Brianna, I’ll come with you. Seems like you’ll be needing some company.” Lewis said and came to me.

We both stepped into the elevator and the last thing I saw before the doors slid close was Mr. Adrian’s frowning face and glaring eyes.

The elevator stopped at the floor my office was in and I stepped out with Lewis. We then walked to my office in total silence. We got to my office and I slumped down heavily onto my chair while Lewis sat down on one of the chairs in front of my desk.

“Are you okay Brianna?” Lewis asked after we sat quietly for a few seconds.

“I’m okay, I’m just a bit pissed off at Mr. Adrian, that’s all.” I responded.

“Okay, can you tell me what happened?” He asked again.

“It’s not really a serious matter.” I said.

“It might not be a serious matter but I just want to know.” He stated.

“Okay….. So this is what happened….” I began narrating what occurred and he listened attentively.

“…… And then he told me to start wearing clothes that covers my body, aren’t the clothes I’m wearing conservative enough? Does he want me to start dressing like a nun? I’ll show him tomorrow. He wants me to wear conservative clothes, then I’ll give him conservative clothes.” I finally finished ranting and took a deep breathe.

“Personally, I don’t see anything bad in the clothes you wear to work, they suit you perfectly and they’re not really exposing. I do t think you should listen to him. Keep on wearing the clothes you wear, don’t start dressing like a nun because of him. It wouldn’t suit you.” Lewis said.

“No, I’m gonna dress like a nun. I’ve got to listen to my boss, right?” I said with an overly sweet smile.

“Alright, if you say so. But this smile if yours is creeping me out. I hope I am safe.” He stated cautiously.

“Don’t worry, you’re safe. You’ll be wowed tomorrow when you see the type of dress I’ll come to work in, you’ll probably think that I’m mentally ill.” I cackled like a witch, ideas already forming in my head.

CLOSING HOURS

I walked out of the building like a kid who was just given a lollipop. I can’t wait for tomorrow, I’ll show Mr. Adrian that I’m crazy. He isn’t the only one that is crazy.

I checked the time on my phone and it was some minutes past five. I should really visit Cherry today, it’s been a while since I’ve seen her and we haven’t talked on phone either. I dialled her number and it rang for some time before she finally answered.

“Hello, who is on the line?” Her groggy voice rang out. She must have been sleeping.

“Hey Cherry, it’s me, Brianna.” I said.

“Hey girlfriend! How are you doing? I’ve really missed you. We don’t really call each other like before . How’s work and that crazy boss of yours?” She said all at once.

“Calm down Cherry.” I chuckled.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I’m fine, work has been really hectic and that’s why I don’t really call you and I know that you must be very busy with work too. And my crazy boss is still crazy.” I answered her questions.

“Good to hear that.” She sighed.

“Are you less busy? I actually called to ask if we could meet.’ I stated.

“I’m not busy, you could come meet me at home, let’s catch up a little.” She said.

“Okay, I’ll be on my way.” I uttered and hung up.

Before I got on my way, I dropped a text for mum, telling her that I wanted to go and see Cherry and that I’ll get home a little later than usual.

I set out for Cherry’s house and got there after some minutes. I rang the doorbell and heard footsteps coming towards the door.

“Who is there?!” Cherry yelled

“Who are you expecting?!” I retorted loudly and she swing the door open.

“Brianna!” She exclaimed loudly as if she wasn’t expecting me and enveloped me in her arms.

“Hey Cherry!” I stated and hugged her back.

“Come on in.” She said after we had disengaged the hug and I went inside with her.

“What of your aunt?” I asked.

“She’s fine, she’s not yet back from work.” She replied as we settled down oh the sofa.

“How have you been? Hope the restaurant is not stressful and boring without me?” I asked teasingly.

“I’ve been good and yes, the restaurant is boring without my best friend. I miss you a lot, it feels like it’s been ages since we last saw each other.” She stated.

“Awww sorry. I’m here now. By the way, I need your help with something.” I said.

“Alright, what’s that?” She asked.

“Something happened today and my crazy boss told me to start wearing conservative clothes to work. I actually want to listen to him and dress like a nun. Do you have any cloth I can borrow?” I questioned.

“Which type of conservative clothes are we talking about here?” She asked.

“You know those clothes that when one wears them, the clothes will be sweeping the floor,. that’s what I’m talking about.” I answered.

“Nah, you know I don’t wear those types of clothes. By the way, why would he want you to wear clothes like that? Did you dress in a slutty manner or what?” She queried.

“No I didn’t. This was the clothes I was putting on when the incident happened.” I replied.

“I don’t see anything wrong with it.” She said.

“Me too but he failed to see that the men were the promiscuous ones. You have any idea where I can get clothes line that?” I stated and she thought for a second.

“Why don’t you ask mom? She wears those types of clothes right?” She mused.

“Yes she does but wouldn’t the cloth be too big on me?” I wondered.

“It would be a little big but not too big. Besides, your crazy boss wants conservative clothes, you’ve gotta give him conservative clothes.” She stated.

“You’re right! I knew that if I came to meet you, you’ll give me the best advice. The bestest friend ever.” I exclaimed and hugged her.

“I know, you don’t have to remind me.” She said with a chuckle.
