His Beautiful Addiction

A frown appeared on her forehead and she tried calling again, but it did the same thing. Her first thought was that he might have blocked her from calling him, but she knew Leo, he would have even tried to call her, and now she wasn't seeing any calls, she knew it was her so-called father's doing.

Rage coursed through her and she stood up to go scream at him but just when she reached the door, she stopped and walked back to the couch, sitting down; she took a deep breath.

No, he would be expecting that she would come and bark at him, but this time, she wasn't going to say a thing. The more she spoke the more he knew what she was thinking, so she wasn't going to say anything. She was just going to deal with him silently until he had no other choice but to let her be with the man she wants.

…

Diana peeked at herself in the rearview mirror for the thousandth time. This was the first time she was going to Warren's Corporation, and she didn't even tell Michael she was coming. What if he was with another woman? 

She gulped as the thought flashed through her mind. She slapped herself lightly, why was she thinking the worst right now?

Breathing in, she arranged her dress. These days, she was forgetting that she was an actress, a top one at that. It was surely going to be on all social media that she went to Warren's Corporation to see Michael, but Diana hadn't been happier about any rumor, in fact, she intentionally didn't cover her face with a mask when she stepped down from the car.

Her guard went ahead and explained to the security, such that as she arrived, they showed her to the elevator leading to the 30th floor while her guard waited for her on the first floor.

Diana's heart raced as the numbers read, when she was almost there, she started contemplating going back. What if he didn't want to see her, or what if there was a woman?

She wanted to go back but she had already come too far. Maybe if she was still in her car, she would have thought about it.

Breathing in, she walked out of the elevator, and her eyes fell on a woman by a high counter, obviously his secretary. The woman looked up at her, and when she saw her, she frowned. Diana wondered if they've met before. Not thinking much of it, she walked to her with a smile;

''Um, hello, I'm here to see the CEO, is he in? ''

She was dressed professionally but damn, she was hot. She didn't want to, but Diana felt a pinch of jealousy as she imagined Michael seeing this beauty every day.

''he's in an important meeting, and I don't think he wants to entertain any visitors. '' The woman replied indifferently and turned back to her system, Diana felt cold. She stared at the woman quietly, why was she being sour, have they met before?

''Um, can you tell me when he'll be done? ''

Without looking at her, she said; ''I suggest that you get going, he is very busy. '' she swallowed; she was sure he wouldn't ask her to leave when she had come all the way, so she took out her phone to text him since he was in a meeting;

''I'll just leave him a message…''

''Can't you just leave? I've already told you he is in a meeting, what is wrong with you? '' Diana was shocked, in all her life; she had never been humiliated this way. Was this woman insane or something?

Right there, she even lost the zeal to stay, so she turned around to leave, but that moment, a door pulled open and Michael walked out, his steps stopped when he saw Diana.

''Diana… '' there was surprise and excitement in his eyes for a second but when he saw the sad look on her face, he frowned;

''What happened? '' he asked as he approached, his eyes turning to his secretary who was looking like she was just poured a bucket of water.

Just that moment, Diana saw a number of men stroll out of the room; it seemed the meeting just ended. She thought.

When they saw her, they all stopped to know what was going on.

Initially, Diana wanted to speak, but when she saw the men, she swallowed her words and shook her head.

''it's nothing… ''

Michael raised her head with his hands and stared in her eyes;

''Tell me, what is it? ''

She tried to look away, she was an only child and she was really doted on, so she got really emotional whenever she was yelled at, and so even when she tried to pretend, her eyes became watery.

''It's nothing… she was just telling me that you were in a meeting, so I was about to leave. ''

Michael stared at her red face, and then he waved the investors to leave. When they were gone, he turned to his secretary with a glare,

''What did you say to her? '' his tone was fierce and carried a hint of annoyance.

The woman looked down at her hands; ''I'm sorry; I just told her you were in a meeting, that's all. ''

Michael watched her for a second, and then he turned back to Diana. Telling her he was in a meeting was not enough to make her cry…

''You're sacked; clear your table this minute and submit your ID at the counter; '' He said and Diana raised her eyes in shock, before she could say a word, he held her hand and took her to his office, slamming the door close.

She was shocked. Did he just sack his secretary because of her?

Her cheeks flushed as she turned to him;

''You didn't have to do that, she didn't do anything wrong… '' although she didn't like the way the woman spoke, she didn't want her to lose her job. She might have spoken to her that way because she had a crush on Michael and it wasn't totally her fault. Who wouldn't have a crush on him?
