Casper opened the door and they both went in. He got in as well and the driver drove off.

"I need absolute peace and quiet to create the perfect design. The properties designs have been made by the people so get a copy of each of their work and bring it to my table" Reina said to Arlene when they got into her office.
"Yess ma'am" she said and left the office.
She sat on her chair and got a folder with blank pages. She placed her elbows on the arm rest of the chair and closed her eyes.
Casper stared at her and let out a small smile. He actually likes her but he can't let her know. He has been trying his best to be perfect in her eyes and he's glad she hasn't fired him yet.
She opened her eyes and his smile disappeared. She opened the folder, got a pen and began creating a design.
12PM ≈≈
She was already done with the design and it covered all the pages on the folder. She closed it and dropped the pen looking at Casper.
"Give it to Mr Matteo and tell him to begin work by 1pm today" she said and he walked to her taking it from him with a bow.
He left the office afterwards and Reina looked at Arlene who was going over the files.
"My schedule" she said and Arlene stood up going to get her hand bag.
"You're having a lunch meeting with the owner of Beckett Corporation" Arlene said and Reina thought for a while before standing.
She walked out of the office and her eyes caught a lady sleeping on the job. She frowned and walked to the desk slamming her palms on it which woke the lady up.
"Ma'am I...."
"Drop your resignation letter on my desk before I get back" she said and walked out of there.
"No ma'am, please don't do this. Your money is the one paying my siblings fees and helping us stay alive. Please ma'am" The lady cried following Reina.
"You would have thought about that before sleeping on your job" she said and the reporters took pictures again.
The lady fell on her knees crying profusely.
"Please could we ask you a question ma'am?" One reporter asked and she looked at the guy.
"Ask"
"Why do you derive joy in firing people? Don't you think of what would happen to them if you fire them?" He asked and some gasped.
"I fire imperfect people from my organization. Before wanting to work in my organization, I let everyone know that they should be perfect. They're the one who choose to be imperfect and I don't work with those type of people" Reina said blankly and he smiled.
"Thank you ma'am" he said and she gave him a look before going into the limousine. Arlene felt pity on the lady before going into the limousine.
The guy who asked the question frowned before leaving the premises.
✓✓ ALINEA RESTAURANT ✓✓
Reina walked into the restaurant and met the restaurant empty. Only the workers were present and the guy she was supposed to meet.
"Don't follow me. Sit there and watch" she told Casper and Arlene who sat at another side in the restaurant.
Reina walked to the table and sat down on the chair crossing her legs. The guy brought down the book he was reading and she smirked.
"You're the one who refused to stand and welcome me when I came to Louisville earlier today" she said and he dropped the book.
"Waiter, an expensive wine please" Liam ignored her and the waiter went to bring it.
"Yes I'm the one. What do you plan on doing about that?" He asked looking at her. The first thing that got him captivated were her slightly exposed boobs.
"I'll...."
"I am your superior. You can't do me anything" he cut her off coldly taking his gaze to her hazel eyes.
The waiter brought the wine and poured into their glasses before leaving.
He took a glass and rested his back on the chair.
"I want you and I to work together. You design what I need and I'd create it and add security to it. Doesn't it sound beautiful?" He asked and she just stared at him.
He actually specialize in making top notch cyber security services that protects luxurious individuals. He can create any device he wants.
"You'd make a perfect partner Reina. In business and pleasure" he said with a smirk and his gaze went to her exposed chest again.
She took the glass of wine and poured it all over him shocking his guards and everyone present. She stood and stared at him with a hateful look.
"I don't work with shitty guys. Take your project elsewhere" she said and he stood.
"Why my lady? Did I make you drip down there?" Liam asked with a smirk and her eyes widened a bit before she turned and walked out of the restaurant. Casper and Arlene followed suite.
His gaze was on her backside till she left the restaurant. He left the restaurant as well and got into his limousine.
"Your clo...."
"I want her" he cut her off and his secretary furrowed her brows.
"Reina?" She asked and he ignored her signalling his driver to drive.
≈≈≈≈
"Take me home" Reina said and the driver nodded driving off. Within 5 minutes, they arrived and Arlene's eyes widened.
The mansion was very huge and wide and she looked at every worker there. They were up to 20 and immediately they saw her, they bowed.
"Welcome young Miss" they all said but she ignored entering her elevator which took her to her room. She walked a few steps and opened her room going in.
She inhaled and exhaled closing her eyes. She walked to her bed and fell on it closing her eyes.
'Did that make you drip down there?'
She sat up immediately and rushed to the restroom. She switched on the shower and got under it hugging her knees to herself.
She closed her eyes as the cold shower poured on her.
4PM ≈≈
She opened her eyes which were red and stood before switching it off. She stripped herself and walked out of the restroom.
The two AC in the room blew her body drying the water droplets.
She went to her closet and brought out a V-neck black fitted short gown. It had a slit on the thigh and she put it on. It brought out her curves and she sprayed perfume. She brushed her hair down and put on a pair of black heels.
She walked out of the room and entered her elevator. It took her downstairs and she met Arlene and Casper standing in the living room.
"Ma'am, what happened? You were upstairs for 4 hours. Are you okay?" Arlene asked worriedly.
"Take her and dress her up for the event happening now. Casper, change your outfit" she said ignoring the question and a maid came to Arlene.
Arlene looked at Reina whose eyes were back to normal already.
≈
"What's wrong with Miss Reina? Why is she acting this way?" Arlene asked the maid who was checking out varieties of black gowns.
"I don't know."
"But why did she stay in the room for 4 hours?" Arlene asked and the maid looked at her.
"If you want to know, ask her. Go put this on" the maid said handing her a black gown. Arlene sighed before taking it from her. The maid left and she changed into the black gown.
Her make up was done by another maid who came in before they left the room.
Reina stood up from the couch when Casper and Arlene came.
"Let's go" she said and walked out of the mansion. Casper and Arlene followed suite.
✓✓ VENDI HOTEL ✓✓
A wide hall is being used for the event happening. It was decorated with twinkling lights and beautiful flowers in vases. A huge chandelier was fixed to the ceiling at the centre of the living room and more beautiful decorations could be seen. The party was screaming LUXURY. Only people of high esteem can attend the party.
Reina walked into the hall with Casper and Arlene following her from behind and Mr Matteo approached her.
"Welcome beautiful" he said and she just stared at him.
His gaze went to her exposed bóóbs and he licked his lips.
"Casper" she said and he walked to Matteo.
"Leave" He said.
"Why? I just came to say hi yunno" Matteo said.
"She said you should leave, is it too hard to understand? Or do we have to make you understand?" Arlene asked coming to stand beside Casper in front of Reina.
Reina stared at her before looking at Matteo who scoffed and walked off.
They faced Reina who just nodded at them. They stood behind her and she looked around the hall.
"Give Reina a drink" someone told a waiter and he nodded.
The waiter got a tray of wine and approached Reina. Mr Matteo placed his leg in front of the waiter and the waiter stumbled.
Casper pulled her back so the wine poured on the ground near her heels.
Reina looked at the waiter and then at Matteo who had a frown on his face. A waiter came from behind and he stumbled on his legs wanting to pour the wine on her but a strong arm pulled her away by the waist so it poured on the ground.
Arlene gasped shifting away and Casper looked back.
Reina's hair covered her face a bit and the guy who pulled her away pushed the hair behind her ear.
Her eyes widened at his cold yet soothing touch.
