A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER EIGHT



**BRIANNA**

The elevator got to the last floor in some minutes. I exited and strode towards Mr Adrian’s office and knocked on the door. I heard his deep voice tell me to come in before I opened the door and stepped into the office. I walked to his desk and dropped the cup of Latte on it. He raised his head from what he was doing and lifted his eyebrow in a questioning manner before his eyes drifted to the cup of hot steaming Latte. He scrunched his nose up in disgust before asking.

“What the hell is this?” He asked in an irritated manner.

“Your coffee as you requested sir.” I replied with a smile on my face.

“I don’t like Latte. You just went ahead to order anything you like without asking for what I liked like a know-it-all.” He stated and the smile on my face faltered.

“Sorry sir but I thought Latte is the best type of coffee and almost everyone likes it so I thought you would like it too.” I responded.

“Well I don’t like it so go back there and order black coffee for me.” He ordered.

“Mhm sir what about the money I will use to pay, I used my money to pay for this one.” I said pointing at the cup of coffee.

“Well just tell Tatiana that it is for me. I always send the money to her account and for the money you used to order this one….” He said stopping mid sentence before he picked up the wallet on his desk and withdrew some money and handed it towards me.

I collected it from him and he said, “I ought not to give it to you because of your forwardness but I’ll just give it to you. Think of it as me being kind to you.” I looked at the money in my hand and it is far more than the amount of money I spent on the coffee.

“Thank you sir.” I appreciated.

“Whatever.” He replied in a nonchalant manner, “Now get out of here and go get me my coffee.” He stated.

He stopped me before I stepped out of his office. “Take this damn coffee out of my sight.”

“What should I do with it?” I asked him.

“You can either dispose it or drink it. Do whatever you want with it.” He answered. I picked up the cup of coffee on his desk and downed it one gulp. *I never knew I was thirsty*. I dumped the paper cup in the trash bin. I didn’t miss the deadly glare Mr Adrian was sending my way and I decided to ignore it. “Thanks for that sir. I really needed it.” I told him but it looked like I was talking to myself because he didn’t respond.

I sighed softly before going through the same routine of stepping out of his office, stepping into the elevator, entering the reception and exiting the building. I thought I saw Kristen giving me a strange look. She must be wondering where I’m off to again. I got to the cafe in no time and I met Tatiana still by the counter. The beautiful smile was still on her face and I wondered if she never stop smiling.

“What would you like to have again young lady?” Tatiana asked.

“I would like to have a cup of black coffee please.” I replied.

“Do you want it plain or with sugar or honey.” She asked and that was when it hit me that I forgot to ask how he would like it. I answered with the first thing that came to my mind, “I want it with sugar.”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

The coffee was ready in a few minutes and I told Tatiana what Mr Adrian told me to, “The coffee is for Mr Adrian from the building on the other side and he said he will send the money to you.” Realization dawns on her face when I mention Mr Adrian’s name.

“Ok no problem.” She replied. I walked out of the cafe for the second time today. I got to the company and stepped into the reception.

“I thought you got the coffee the other time?” She asked with a confused expression on her face.

“Turned out I got the wrong coffee.” I replied. I strode towards the elevator, got in and it started moving upward, I stepped out of the elevator when it got to the last floor and walked into Mr Adrian’s office. I approached his desk and dropped the cup of black coffee on the desk. He picked it up, brought it to his mouth and took a sip of it. His face contorted into distaste before he dropped it back on the desk.

“Well I’m gonna let you off the hook because you got the right coffee but just so you know I don’t like sugar in my coffee.” He stated.

“Ok sir, I’ll put that in mind.” I replied.

“What’s in my schedule for today?” He asked casually taking another sip of his coffee.

“Hold on a minute sir, I’ll go get your schedule plan for today in my office.” I stated. I saw a scowl appear on his face but I ignored it. I exited the office, strode to mine and got the notepad where his schedule plan for today is written. I walked back to his office and read it out to him.

“You have a meeting with the production department to discuss the new product that we want to manufacture. The meeting is taking place by 10:30 am and this is 9:45 so we have forty five minutes left. After that you have another meeting by 2:00 pm with Mr Charles to finalize a deal over lunch. Those are what is in store for you today sir.” I stated.

“Ok then. There’s this particular file I need for the meeting in the next forty five minutes and I forgot it at home so I need you to go get it for me.” He said and I noticed that his eyes gleamed with mischief.

“I’m sorry sir, but can’t you send your driver to get it?” I asked.

“I sent my driver on an errand and besides you don’t have any right to question my order. If I can’t send you to get something for me then what is your usefulness to me as my personal assistant?” He scoffed. I sighed in defeat because I knew this conversation isn’t gonna lead us anywhere.

“Ok sir, I’ll go and get it but I don’t know where your house is located.” I muttered.

“Don’t worry about that…” He trailed off picking up his pen and scribbled something on a piece of paper before handing it to me. “That is my address written there. When you get there just ring the doorbell and the gatekeeper will come meet you at the gate. He’s gonna ask what you are doing there so just tell him I sent you to come and get something for me.” He stated.

“Noted sir. But I need money for the transport fare if your driver isn’t here to drive me and I have to take a cab because I can’t possibly trek to this address and I’m pretty sure the place we’re talking about is a little far from here.” I complained.

“Stop that complaint of yours. This is the money for the transport fare.” He said annoyed picking up his wallet from earlier before he withdrew a couple of dollars. He flung the money in my direction and it scattered all over the floor. I exhaled in anger before bending down and picking up the money from the floor.

“Well I’ll be on my way Mr Adrian.” I stated politely.

“Be fast with it, there’s only less than thirty five minutes left before the meeting begins and that file is very crucial for this meeting.” He responded, “Now run along and don’t come back without that file.”

The mischievous glint in his eyes should have told me that I should have never stepped out of his office, to argue as much as possible with him that I’m not going but I waved it off dismissively thinking that I imagined it. As I turned towards the door of his office to step out I saw a smirk appear on his face.
