Chapter 18: busy

Cara's POV

Glitters everywhere.

Fucking Blake.

I already took a shower five times and this fucking glitters was still attached to my whole body. I swear I saw some glitters on my ass crack.

I need to step up my game.

I glare at Blake while I am mopping his office floor.

"Oh c'mon sweetheart! It was just a harmless prank!"

Harmless my ass.

Someone knock on his door and Jane entered his office.

"Goodmorning Mr. Bradford." She place several folders on Blake's table.

''Those are the documents that you requested."

Blake did not reply.

"Goodmorning Cara." Jane greets me.

I smile at her and greets her back. Compared to the hulk sitting on the chair. I am greeting everyone who greets me first.

"Is that a glitter on your hair?" Jane ask bewildered.

I hear Blake snorts but he quickly cover it as a cough.

"Sorry sir."

Jane drag me out of Blake's office.

She closes Blake's door silently.

"Oh my god I forgot for a second that we are inside his office. I even greet you inside. What's wrong with me!"

"It's alright. Good thing that the bossman is in a good mood."

"True true and it is very rare that he is in a good mood. I swear I only saw him smile once in five years that I am working for him. I think he was with Mr. Rosen-Hower at that time."

Of course. James always make Blake smile even at the expense of Blake's dignity.

Jane returned to her work while I went down to the Marketing. I need to confirm the schedule of Jean Davis so we can sneak inside her office.

I reach her floor and as soon as the elevator opens I can already feel the gloomy and heavy atmosphere in this floor.

I roam my eyes around the floor and all employees are hunched on their desk.

I hold my mop firmly and slowly mop in between the cubicles of the staff.

"I swear to God I will resign after I finish this report." I heard one the employees on my left said.

I discretely mop near the breakroom and I can hear several employees hiding inside.

"Did you print already your resignation letter?"

"Yes but I am afraid to pass it."

"Yeah me too. This is such a good company but unfortunately our department head is a goon of Satan."

Shit. This is not good. Not good at all.

I hurriedly went to the office of Jean Davis. According to the report of Sinedy at this time she is out of her office. I peek inside the glass pane and saw that her office is empty.

5pm on the dot she always go home compared to her employees that are pulling an overtime everyday to finish their projects.

Tsk. I need to empty this floor to bug the room of Ms. Davis. I'll need the help of Blake for my plan.

I went back to the 50th floor and return my mop on my cart. I grab my rug and disinfectant spray. I pass through Jane's office to ask if Blake has a meeting in his room right now.

"No. You can clean but don't disturb him Cara. He is busy."

I nodded and went to Blake's office. I knock on his door first and entered. Blake did not look up. He was typing furiously on his laptop.

I walk silently to his back to see what he is doing and what I saw really sets Blake apart from other people.

He was playing on his laptop. Yeah right he is busy.

Busy my ass.

I am out of words. I am not sure why his company is not bankrupt yet.

He was so focused on his game that he didn't even notice that I am behind him.

I slap the back of his head.

Hard.

He almost slammed his face in the keyboard.

"What the fuck!" Blake looks back ready to punch whoever hit him and when he saw me standing behind him with my arms crossed on my chest.

He sheepishly smiles and bring down his fist.

"Did you win?" I ask sarcastically.

"Uhm I am not sure sweetheart. I did not finish the game."

"Did you even finish your work?" I ask.

"Of course! Do you think I'll procrastinate just to play games?" He ask haughtily.

"Yes." I deadpanned.

"Wow. Thank you for the vote of confidence my dear wife."

I pinch his cheek and replied "You're welcome my love."

Blake roll his eyes and mutter on how he was close on winning his game.

Whatever.

"I need your help." I started.

"What do you need?" He ask.

"I need you to clear up the whole marketing floor."

"Clearing in what way? Should I push all the staff from the window? Efdective but bloody. Firing all of them is also a way to clear up the floor. You need to elaborate on that because my imagination is not that vast."

I sigh and explained "Jean Davis arrives early to work so we can't bug and search her room in the morning. So the only chance is at night but the problem was the staff under her department are pulling an all nighter just to meet the impossible schedule that Jean impose. So you need to tell those poor employees to go home early and assures them that there is no repercussions once they did not finish their work on time."

"Okay okay. Fine. Now can I please continue my game?"

I nodded and was supposed to leave Blake but he calls me again.

"Aren't you suppose to disinfect my things?"

I look at the rug and the disinfectant on my hands. "Do I? It's not like the boss will fire me if don't clean this room. Will he? And I heard he is busy so I don't want to diaturb him while he is doing his work."

Blake stare at me for a minute and replied "No he will not dare amd yea he is very busy."

"Good now I have more important things to do than disinfect your office and disrupt your busy schedule. Bye!"

I walk out of Blake's room and finish the rest of my task on this floor so I can go down to the command center early.

One hour before the end of work I secretly went down to the command center. I saw my team hanging out on the CCTV room.

"Hi."

All of them stand up and greets me immediately.

"Goodafternoon Mrs. Bradford."

I smile and greets them back including the security who I am not familiar with.

A handsome tall man with black hair, hazel eyes and strong jaw approach me.

He offer his hand and say "I am Mason Mrs. Bradford."

I shake his hand firmly.

"You're Mason? Cool! It is a good thing that you are a real person! For a second I thought you are a figment of imagination of my husband."

Mason smiles and release my hand.

"I can assure you ma'am that I am real."

"So everything is set up for tonight?" I ask.

"Yes. The cameras are already prepared and we already double check the placements of her things so that we can return it back after we search her whole office." Mason replied.

"Good. Blake was already informed on what to do I hope he do it right."

5pm on the dot Jean left her office. As expected her employees remain on their floor to finish whatever that they needed to finish.

In one panel I saw Blake going down the Marketing floor. As soon as the private elevator opened the employees became stiff.

"Increase the volume please." One guard nodded and maximize the volume so we can hear what Blake was saying.

"You can go home now."

A guy with glasses shakily stand up and said "Sir we can't. We need to finish this reports that Miss Davis-"

Even if I can't see Blake's face I know that he is glaring at the poor guy.

"No. Your deadline will be moved next week so go home now!" All of us in the command room flinched along the employees on the Marketing when Blake raised his voice.

This is the first time I witness Blake acting like a boss. He usually acts like a starved idiot whenever we are together.

I admit he looks hot when he is bossy. Don't tell him that. His ego is big enough. We don't need to inflate it more.

Once the last staff goes out of the floor Blake lifts up an okay sign on the camera.

"Let's go."

All of us moved and went down to the Marketing floor.

We saw Blake sitting on one of the chairs and eating a biscuit which I am pretty sure he stole from one of employees table.

"Did you steal that?"

Blake looks at the empty packaging of Oreo's that he was holding.

"No?"

I sigh and pray to God to give me strength to deal with my annoying husband.

"You just ate an hour ago!" I exclaimed exasperated.

"An hour ago." He emphasized.

"Dinner is in 2 hours you can't wait?"

As a response Blake opened another snack loudly which is a pack of Doritos "Nope."

Can I divorce him now?

A/N triple update? Wow. I am so proud of myself. I am surprise that my brain is still functioning after work😂
