Babysitting The Billionaire’s Adult Son

59



Working endlessly on the system, Melanie grabs her pen and scribes down some things inside her notepad. She has been working her ass off since she gets to her office in the morning and she still hasn’t stood up from her desk since then. She sent her assistant to grab lunch for her and she wonder what is taking her so long.

March is the jovial type, she must have met with her colleagues and decided to have a chat with them.

“I don’t even know what my schedule is for the next hours.” she sigh and try to pick up her pad but she couldn’t seem to have a glimpse of it on the table.

“Perhaps March has taken it with her, guess she decided to work on my schedule during her free time.” she chuckles and moves her gaze back to the system.

Melanie wants to stand up and go take a fresh air on the rooftop. Just then, a knock comes on the door and Melanie sigh, rubbing her palm on her forehead. She still hasn’t said anything when the door twists open and Mia walks inside in her goodness.

She walks straight to her desk and sits on the twirl chair that is opposite her.

“Greetings to the miss Director!” Mia smirked annoyingly at her.

Melanie shut down her system, she stare at Mia for a while, wondering what she wants and why she is in her office but she couldn’t know unless she asks. “Greetings to you too!” She rolls her eyes and prop her elbow on the table and stare at Mia who wouldn’t stop smirking at her.

“Look how well the seat fits you!” she smirks devilishly, strolling her eyes on her.

Melanie smile shortly. “You don’t need to tell me that, he knows that the seat would fit me that’s why he enact me on the seat.” she returns the smirk in two folds.

Mia didn’t say anything. She stands up from the seat and walks over to make herself a cup of coffee. “Nice office!” She says with no expression on her face.

Melanie doesn’t know why she is in her office but she wishes she could just get the hell out of her office so that the could resume her work. “What do you want?” she decided to speak up after a long silence between the two of them.

“What do you mean by ‘what do I want’ do you perhaps have anything to offer to me?” Mia couldn’t hide the disdain in her tone. She drops the cup on the cabinet and walks back to Melanie.

“If I don’t have anything to offer to you, then why did you seek me? Or…” Melanie gasps, feigning a surprised look. “Do you perhaps miss me that much that you decide to check up on me?” Melanie asks, grinning as she watches the hard look on Mia’s face.

“Hey, stop stating rubbish! Why would I miss someone like you?” She asks with an eye roll.

“Look.” Melanie hit her pen on the paper. “If you don’t have anything to say to me, why don’t you just get out? I have things to do if you don’t have work.” She says to her face.

Mia picks up a handkerchief and dabs the sweat off her forehead in anger. “And what’s the work of a Director if not to just sit in front of the system all day without doing anything.” Mia laughs at her, twirling her curly hair in the air. “As if I haven’t been a director before.” she chuckles and Melanie relaxes back on the chair.

“Before? Oh my God!” Melanie cover her mouth in shock. “Did you mean you have once been a Director and they removed you when all that you do is just sit around without doing anything? How thoughtful of them,” she smirks and watches Mia clamps her teeth in outrage.

“You are spewing nonsense. You don’t know anything about me so shut the hell up also.” she bangs her fist on the table and it makes a loud noise.

“If you know how much this furniture cost I’m sure you wouldn’t want to break it. Or did you break furniture too while you were still a Director?” Melanie smirked, she enjoys messing with Mia and she wouldn’t stop until she leave her office.

“Now I see where your confidence is coming from. You have known so much that you can’t even keep it to yourself!” Mia spat angrily. She grabs her purse and takes out bubble gum from her purse. She tears it open and throws it into her mouth.

“Nobody tells me anything, guess you’re not that important that none of them refused to say anything about you.

Mia slams her hand on the table, she has had enough of Melanie and she can’t wait to get the hell out of the room.

“I was told to handle some files to the New Director. Didn’t even know you are the new Director.” Mia forces out a smile. She slides her hand into her purse and brings out a file from the mini bag.

She stretch out her hand to Melanie and she collect it with her brow raised.

“Honestly, I don’t know what father sees in you that he’s starting to pick you over me.” Mia chuckles, tracing her eyes on the file as she doesn’t want to let go.

“I would like to know, by any chance do you have any relationship with my father?” Mia asks peeping into her eyes.

Melanie chuckles and opens the first page of the file. “If you are that curious, why not go ahead and ask your father?” She laughs, she doesn’t know what Mia is trying to find out but she bet she can’t find any negative things about her.

“Oh, you should tell me. Aren’t we family?” Mia smile sweetly at her. Melanie shake her head and move closer towards Mia on the seat.

“Do you want to know?” She asks and Mia nods her head, smiling brightly at her.

‘Such a pretender’ Melanie rolls her eyes and moves her lips to speak. “I’m his loyal daughter-in-law.” She smirks in satisfaction and moves back to her seat.

“You bitch!” Mia stands up angrily from the seat. “I don’t know what you are hiding, but I will find it and you should watch your back because I’m going to crush you.” She yells and grabs her purse from the table. She walk up to the door and the door twist open before she could do it.

Andy walks in, smiling like a ray of light. Mia stops on her track and shares a smile with Andy.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Melanie sit tight on her seat, she stare at the two and wonder what type of relationship the two had.
