Chapter 41 - BEING PATIENCE TO FACE HIM

"Can you be silent for a moment?" Ramon asked, looking fiercely at the girl next to him.

This was Ramon's first experience with a woman, as far as he could remember because his memory of the incident four years ago was lost, he had absolutely no recollection of his time with Giana or how the relationship between the two of them had been during those two years.

One more thing Ramon couldn't imagine about himself was; how could he get involved in an affair with a married woman like Giana? That whole thing just sounds like bullshit.

"I'm bored," whimpered Hailee as she closed her eyes and played with the hem of her white dress. She braided her own long hair, but it gave a messy impression on the sides, so overall, this girl looked quite cute.

"We'll be there soon," said Ramon, who then returned to his initial preoccupations, checking the documents he had to sign. All this work was delayed because he had to pick up the stubborn girl next to him.

"You've been saying the same thing from the last half an hour," Hailee grumbled.

However, this time, they did arrive at their destination, where Hailee could see a twenty-story building towering right in front of her. Overall, the building was white with stunning minimalistic decor.

But, she was sure that this was Lis's choice just from the touch of color choices alone, and because Hailee felt that white didn't really reflect Ramon's dark character.

'Yes, this handsome guy next to me was more suited to the jet black color!' Hailee thought irritably.

"Here we are," said the driver, who stopped the car right in front of the lobby. From a distance Hailee could see two people rushing forward to the car swiftly to open the doors for them.

Ramon didn't even wait for Hailee to come down and immediately walked into his office building, but when he realized that the girl was not actually with him, Ramon slowed down and finally stopped to turn around and found Hailee walking about two steps behind him.

But, that's not what made Ramon frown in surprise, but the fact that Hailee used a mask to cover her face was what made Ramon approach the girl.

"What are you using?" Ramon asked with a frown while holding Hailee's hand, at least this guy didn't really ignore her and acted bossy all the time.

"Don't you know? It's a mask," Hailee replied rudely.

However, this actually caused a stir among the staff who was passing by and greeted Ramon politely, but looked confused when they were about to greet the girl wearing the white mask next to him.

Who was that girl?

From her posture they could tell that she was a young girl, but why did she have to cover her face?

Rumors of Ramon's arrival with a young girl would quickly spread throughout the building and later, by the time office hours were over, all the employees there would surely find out about this.

"Of course I know what it is," growled Ramon in a low voice. For some reason Ramon felt his patience was always in for a test whenever he was with Hailee, as if this girl could throw him out of control with just one sarcastic comment from her.

"Then what do you mean?" Hailee asked again in a slightly muffled voice. However, it seemed like Ramon had already seen the intention behind Hailee's stupid actions, so he chose not to prolong the matter and acted unconcerned.

It was not that Hailee didn't understand what Ramon meant, she just liked pissing him off. After all, he pissed her off first, so it was only natural that Hailee wanted to 'get revenge', no big deal, right?

A woman smiled sweetly as she pressed the elevator button for them and stared at Ramon, as if waiting for the boss's "thank you", but Ramon didn't seem to pay attention to the employee at all, even until the elevator doors opened.

"Thank you," Hailee said to the female employee as she stepped inside.

Once inside, Ramon let go of Hailee's hand and folded his arms across his chest, waiting for the elevator to take them to the eighteenth floor, where Ramon's office was.

As soon as they got out of the elevator, Ramon grabbed Hailee's hand again and pulled her out of the lift.

Either he did it because he was afraid that Hailee would get lost in a place that was still unfamiliar to her, or because he thought that Hailee could do something reckless and instead run away from this place.

Whatever the reason might be, Hailee didn't seem to mind at all when Ramon treated her like this.

Instead, she enjoyed the questionable stares and the stunned expressions on the faces of the employees they passed.

It seems like it would be a lot of fun to be Ramon Tordoff's woman. Unfortunately, Hailee's situation this time was so complicated and she couldn't really enjoy all these lies any longer.

Ramon's office was at the far end of the corridor with shiny black doors and gold wooden handles. Looking luxurious and classy.

And when Hailee entered the office, she could see how amazing Ramon's office was.

This room was roughly the size of the family room in Ramon's house and was well lit framed with a large glass, which displayed the spectacular view of the city A, right behind Ramon's desk.

Hailee then took off the mask she was wearing and then sat down on the soft white sofa near the entrance.

Outside, a tinge of twilight began to appear, revealing a view of the almost setting sun. It looked beautiful when the ball of light slowly disappeared behind the tall buildings of the city. ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m

"You have a great working environment," Hailee commented, gazing at every corner of the room with interest. There were several abstract paintings hanging on the plain walls, giving this white-dominated room a hint of color.

"You want to be here every day?" Ramon asked Hailee, who had completely lost in amazement at the sight from her study of the room. He would see the same things every day, so there was nothing special for him here.

"What for?" Hailee asked as she put her little white bag on the table and leaned her back. "Are you going to hire me as an employee?"

"I don't accept nepotism," replied Ramon, who then called someone to ask about the meeting later.

Hailee growled in annoyance at Ramon's words, but then she became nonchalant when she replied. "If my patience in dealing with you can be cashed in, then I will be much richer than you now."
