Maid for the Mafia Boss

My eyebrows are raised while listening to the person presenting in front of Keian at the moment.

It was the marketing director, discussing about the proposal he just thought.

“That’s all, thank you.” Everyone clapped their hands for him except for Keian and me. Even Steven was clapping his hands and even looked impressed at the director’s presentation. He’s dressed well right now which made him look professional.

Keian noticed me not clapping my hands and my face letting out a weird look. In the end, he sighed.

I looked at the marketing director.

“That’s a great proposal, Roxas!” One of the men here in the conference room compliments.

“Thank you, sir. I worked so hard for it. I’m glad all of it was worth it.” I secretly rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue.

“Ehem,” Kei coughed.

Then there was silence as soon as Keian lets out a fake cough at the same time, the cold expression on his face.

“Kei?” Steven calls out, confused. I’m quite stunned that he’s Kei’s right hand when it comes to business. He says he’s good in handling business.

He suddenly appeared in front of me out of nowhere while walking—- I mean while Kei was pulling me. The employees even turned to me the moment I screamed in shock.

“Que pouvez-vous dire de la présentation? (What can you say about the presentation?)” Steven furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing Kei speaking French, so does everyone else in the room.

“Quelle? Pourquoi parlons-nous en français? (What? Why are we speaking in French?)” I listened to their conversation, interested even though no one can’t understand what they are saying. Kei’s eyes got colder as he sighed.

“Réponds juste, Steven. (Just answer, Steven.)” The latter pouted as he thought of a response.

“Hmm, sa proposition est excellente, je pense que cela aidera beaucoup la société. (His proposal is great, I think it will help the company.)” Everyone in the room can’t seem to keep their cool as they have no idea what the two are talking about in front of them. Especially Mr. Roxas.

“Il prend tous les crédits pour la proposition qu’il n’a même pas faite. (He takes all the credit for the presentation that he, don’t even do.)” Steven’s eyes widened and looked skeptical.

“What do you mean, Kei?” Asked Steven which made everyone’s eyes on him, also breathing a sigh of relief since they finally understood something from the two.

Keian doesn’t answer Steven and touched his temple.

“Putain, je veux déjà dormir. (Damn, I want to sleep already.)” He whispers and I raised a brow at him as he ran his fingers through the back of his hair.

Me and Steven’s eyes met and he still looks confused than ever.

I leaned over to my seat and crossed my arms to my chest.

“Ce n’est pas lui qui a fait la présentation mais il prétend que c’est la sienne, c’est ce qui Kei essaie de dire. (He isn’t the one who made the presentation but he’s claiming it’s his, is what Kei is trying to say.” I stated to which Steven looks at me in disbelief.

“Vous savez parler Français?! (You know how to speak French?!)” I saw Kei turned his head to me.

“Ne parlons pas de ça maintenant. (Let’s not talk about that now.)” Steven smirks and drew his face near me since we’re just beside each other.

“Alors qui le fait? (Then who made it?)” There’s somewhat excitement in Steven’s eyes but when you stare at it longer, you’d be frightened.

I nodded at a woman sitting by the wall behind the people in front of us.

They were surprised to where I nodded which made them turn to the woman.

“Elle l’a fait. C’est évident parce qu’il continue de la regarder et qu’elle donne des instructions à son directeu. (She did. It’s obvious because he keeps on looking at her and she’s giving directions to her director.)” Steven looks at Kei who nodded and slightly smiled at my direction.

“Oww. I get it now.” Steven stands up and looked at Mr. Roxas, smirking. The man was surprised and looked even scared.

“Roxas!” Steven looks at the man seriously.

“S-Sir? Do you need anything? A question, perhaps?” Steven smirked again.

“Actually, yes.” Mr. Roxas heaved a sigh of relief, as if his chest became lighter.

I was just looking at the woman who seemed nervous. Her eyes widened as we met eye contact. I smiled at her. She was surprised at first but smiled back eventually.

“How much is the revenue of Sanders Manufacturing Corporation, our competitor, wherein you stated in your presentation that we don’t need to worry about?” Mr. Roxas was stopped upon Steven’s question which made him more uncomfortable.

“Uhmmm, if I may recall correctly…” He turned slightly to the woman who widened his eyes at her. She jumped a bit and I noticed her lips moving.

“What?!” I read from Mr. Roxas’ mouth.

“Mr. Roxas?” Keian called and because of this, the pretender jumped in surprise.

“U-Uhmm, let me just check in the slide of my presentation.” Really?! His presentation?! Until when is he going to pretend that he made that presentation?! Arggghh!

“You!” They a turned to me when I called the woman whom I kept my eyes locked on.

“Y-Yes, ma’am?” She immediately stands up. I saw Steven smirking.

“What is the answer?” I asked in a slightly bossy tone. I can’t help it. She took a deep breath as she kept on glancing at her boss.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her as if telling her not to be afraid of her boss. She nodded and took a deep breath.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“That will be… 59, 678 dollars, ma’am, sir.” I smiled contently.

“And why should we not be afraid of Sanders Manufacturing Corporation?” She took another deep breath before walking to our table and confidently smiled.

“Because based on the research of our team, many of their clients are complaining about their products. And also, we are using finer quality and we have more resources than them.” I nodded while smiling.

“Yes, Reina. That’s true.” Mr. Roxas intervenes.

“Stop it, Roxas.” He went silent because of Kei’s words.

Keian looks at Reina and asked if she was really the one who made the presentation.

“Y-Yes, I did.”

“Liar! Don’t you dare make such tales!” Mr. Roxas shouted which made Kei stood up from his seat.

“Shut up, Roxas.” He said with deep emphasis. Then there was a long deafening silence…

“I always knew about your doings, Roxas. And now, you won’t be able to do that anymore. You’re fired.” Mr. Roxas flashed a death glare at Keian.

“I’ve been working here for a long time and had a lot of contributions to this company! And now you’re letting me go—” He stopped yelling when Steven went near him and held his fist tightly.

“Roxas, you shouldn’t answer back to Kei. Careful, you might be dead before you knew it.” Kei’s face darkened as he also clenched his palms.

I suddenly got nervous since they might actually do something to Mr. Roxas so I stood up and went to Keian.

He looks extremely outraged but he’s just controlling it. I rolled my eyes before holding his hand.

It’s my turn to pull him around! And he will just let himself pulled by me.

He gasped as I brought him back to his office.

“Andrew,” I called, my hands on my waists. His eyes looked up to me.

His gaze softened and he suddenly pulled me to his chest. I heard him breathing in a fast pace.

He quietly burries his face on my neck. Even though I felt tickles by his breath, I just let him.

“Nass…” His grip tightened so I just wrapped my arm around him.

“Hmmm?” I only replied which made him silent.

“My old friend died because of work pressure.” My eyes widened at his statement. Did he just remember his friend from the events earlier?

“U-Uhhm.” I obviously don’t know what to say so I just shut my mouth and listened to what he had to say.

“And I don’t want it to happen again.” I nodded and broke the distance from him.

“It will not happen again, Kei.” I reassured him. To be honest I really don’t know what truly happened but he’s already the boss of this company and I know nothing will happen as long as he’s here.

With a blank expression on his face, he holds my cheek with his right hand.

Wahhh. His hand is so warm.

I pressed my cheek nearer to his hand since I feel so light whenever he holds me.

He tucks in the hair that was covering my eyes as we stared at each other for a long time. A very long time.

“Ehem.” As I heard a fake cough, I immediately distanced myself from Keian. What were you doing, Nass?! Ah!

Keian flashes another glare at Steven while I lowered my head, feeling red like a tomato.

“Do you want me to go out so you can continue?” Steven asked, smirking. Keian rolled his eyes at him and went to his desk and sat down.

“What do you want, Prince?” Wait. Prince? Is that his second name?!

“Pffft-” I covered my mouth to prevent my laughter.

“Ehhh! Kei, how dare you. Don’t you call me like that! Especially in front of Nassandra!” Complained Prince-I mean, Steven.

“You’re like a child.” I whispered to myself but it seems like he heard it since he glared at my direction. I raised a brow at him.

“Haysst. Anyway, you okay, Alpha?” Steven looked at Kei who’s got his head down on his desk. Reminds me of being a high school student.

“Tsk. Yeah.” Steven and I looked at each other.

“What happened to Mr. Roxas, Prince?” I asked while smirking. He sighed as he faced me.

“Call me Steven but we kicked him out of the building. Oh! And I made Ms. Reina the Marketing Director. Is that alright, Keiranz?” Keian looked up to him and nodded.

“Yeah.”

“Kei!!!” We all turned our heads to Zeke who just arrived in the office, catching his breathe.

Keian replies with his eyebrows creased.

“What happened, Nic?” Zeke tried to catch his breath before answering…
