Chapter 30: treats

Cara's POV

I was stupefied.

Did I hear Blake right? Isn't it too early? We're married for what 7 or 8 months? For godsakes we did not even have sex yet!

Okay not connected to the issue at hand. Please forget that I say that.

I was startled when Jane grab my arm and shakes me.

"Cara what's wrong with you!" She murmured.

"I-I am sorry Jane I am just startled that I drop my things." I explained. I hurriedly picks up my things and peek around Jane's shoulder and look at Blake.

"I apologize Mr. Bradford."

Blake just nodded in response.

Jane faced Blake and said "I'll send my initial proposal Mr. Bradford tomorrow."

She turns around and warns me with her eyes to behave.

I look down when she pass. When Jane close the door I lock it and look at Blake.

Blake was surprise when I throw the rug that I am holding to him.

"What the fuck Amore!"

I slowly walk towards Blake's desk with the intention to strangle him.

"Really Blake? A party? When will you tell me that? The day before?" I exclaimed.

"Of course not! It was just decided today!"

I stop walking. "Oh." I smiled sheepishly at Blake and get the rug that I throw at him.

Blake's still glaring at me.

"You want treats?"

Blake glares intensifies.

I put my hands on my pocket and produce a bar of hershey's.

"Catch!"

In true fashion. Blake catches the chocolate bar effortlessly. Even if Blake's very angry he will never decline treats I mean chocolates.

I wait for Blake to finish his chocolate before I ask. I don't want to risk it. He might spit his chocolate at me like a llama.

Once Blake's finish eating his chocolate I hand him a bottle of water. After that I sat on Blake's desk and started to interrogate him.

"When is this party and where?"

"Probably next month first weekend."

I nodded. I still have time.

"What are your plan?"

"Nothing solid yet but it will definitely held at James hotel, which reminds me that I need to call him to reserve the place."

Blake grab his phone and speed dial James number.

Blake's eyes narrowed when James did not answer his call.

Blake tries again and called James three more times. Stalker alert!

If a person doesn't answer your call it means he's busy or he doesn't want to talk to you. Clearly Blake did not get this memo.

On the 4th call James answered his phone.

"What."

"Wow. Is this the right way to talk to your girlfriend's brother?"

"I can make my girlfriend an only child right at this moment if the said brother pissed me off."

I suspiciously look around Blake's office. I will not be surprise if James bugged this room.

"Oh please James. You love me too much to kill me. Right? Love you bro."

"Fuck you! Love my foot. What do you want?"

"Well I know that you know that the party will be next month so can I rent at least 30 VIP rooms and the ballroom of one of your hotel?"

"Fine. Send the details to Scott. That will be $5,000,000 including the food."

$5,000,000? The hell? There's no way it will cost that much! That's highway robbery!

"Only? Wow that's cheap. Ok fine. I'll send Scott the initial details today then the motif and all those shits at the end of the week. Will you attend?"

Only? What?! Rich people. I still can't understand them.

"Fuck no. My brain can't handle the strain to mingle to those single-cell old imbeciles. Dealing with you on a daily basis is enough."

"You're such a sweetheart James!"

James unceremoniously end the call.

"Well the place is already fix. Only the motif is needed and the menu."

"What should I do?" I ask.

"You Amore will not lift a finger. Let me plan this. You just need to choose a design of your dress then I'll do the rest."

I sigh.

Blake resume his previous work while I ponder everything.

It's fun to be undercover for the last 7 months. Our only major issue was Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Jean Davis.

There are only minor issues left.

Other employees are slacking off. If Blake deal with them I am sure those employees will get fired. So I'll deal with them.

Another issue that I saw was some of the employees are quite rude to some of the cleaners.

I am not being bias but my mama taught me that you should treat everyone fairly no matter what their status in life.

"Blake what should I do with some of our lazy employees?" I ask curiously.

"Fire them" see?

"Can I deal with them?"

Blake stops typing on his laptop and look at me.

"Why?" Blake ask curiously.

''Let's say that I plan to be more visible until the party."

"If that's what you want Amore I am all for it."

I hop out of Blake's desk.  I kiss his cheek and goes out of his office discretely.

As I went to Angel's floor I passby two of my team CARAmel. I nodded at them.

They are doing a good job monitoring all our staffs. Without them I'll not learn even the miniscule issues that needed attention.

At this age some employees even complains at the quality of the toilet papers that are provided for them. God forbid they might sue us just because those ass tissues irritate their asses.

People this days are ridiculous. They always get easily offended.

Grow up people!

I saw Angel as usual working hard on her desk.

"Angel." Angel looks up and smiled. She stands up from her seat and hug me.

"How are you?" I ask.

Angel grins.

"May I assume that the date came out fine?"

"More than fine. We'll meet again this weekend."

I silently squeal. I knew it!

"I am so happy for you!"

"You can join us if you want Cara! I can even bring another friend to keep us company."

Uh oh. Another friend means another guy. No way, if Blake heard this he will kill someone.

"Uhm no. I am fine. Maybe next time."

"Oh. Okay. If you say so."

"I just went here to see how you're doing."

"Well. I am sorting out some minor complains."

"Complains? Like?"

"Well one of the ridiculous complain I receive was the employees wants Twinkies on the snack bar inspite the rest of the staff reject his idea."

"Twinkies? Before it taste fine but now it taste meh."

"Agreed. So I message him that he should respect the decision of his team and move on."

"Wow at least there's no major problem."

"As of now none but I bet when the date of our corporate party will be announced there will be complains again."

"Wait. You mean all of our staff will be attending that party?"

"Uh yes because we are hosting it this year so we are required to attend. If we are not hosting the party only Mr. Bradford and his executives will attend."

Shit. Things get complicated fast. Blake skips this information.

I'll kill him.
