A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

SAME DAY… LUNCH TIME

**BRIANNA**

I had just finished working on some files that were given to me by Mr. Adrian. A loud yawn escaped my mouth and at the same time, my stomach grumbled. I patted my stomach and cooed at it like I was cooing at a baby, “Don’t you worry, dear stomach. I’ll fill you up soon enough.” I laughed at myself when I realized how stupid I must have looked when doing that.

“What’s the time? It should be time for lunch already.” I thought aloud and looked towards the clock on the wall. It was already five minutes into lunch time.

I got up, arranged the files I had just finished working on and made my way to Mr. Adrian’s office. I knocked on the door tentatively and was told to come in. I entered and strode towards his desk. He was not sitting though, he was standing by one of the glass walls in his office and was staring at the busy city below him.

“I came to submit the files you told me to work on, sir.” I voiced out.

“You’re done with them?” He questioned.

“Yes sir, I am.” I answered.

“Alright, you can drop the files on my desk and leave.” He stated and waved me off. I did as he told me before walking out of his office.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I took the elevator to the first floor and looked towards the receptionist’s desk to see that Kristen was not there. I walked out of the building to the cafeteria, entered and got my food. I scanned the place to look for a table and saw Kristen waving for me to come over and I strode towards the table. Kristen was not the only one sitting there. Cassandra, Lauren and Lewis were also sitting at the table.

“Hey guys!” I hollered cheerfully.

“Hey Brianna!” They chorused, except Lauren who had a sneer on her face.

“It’s been a while since I saw you, Brianna.” Cassandra said as I dug into my food

“Ah true! Work and those stuff. You know I always go out for meetings with Mr. Adrian and all.” I stated and heard Lauren scoff.

“That’s right. I can’t help but to notice the dress you’re putting on. It looks good and weird on you at the same time.” Cassandra uttered with a chuckle.

“Oh this dress? I wore it because of Mr. Adrian to rile him up.” I said.

“Oh, so that’s why you are dressed like this! Is there a reason behind it?” Kristen chipped in.

“I don’t think that’s why she dressed like this. She obviously has a bad sense of fashion.” Lauren said under her breath but I heard her clearly because she was sitting right beside me.

“Excuse me? Did I just hear you say something?” I faced her and asked with a slight glare.

“Yes, I said something.” She replied, and net my eyes.

“I dare you to repeat what you said.” I dared.

“I said that you have a bad sense of fashion. What do you want to do?” She said and then asked with defiance.

“Oh, I’m not going to do anything but it’s very obvious that you’re dumb.” I stated.

“Did you just call me dumb?” She quizzed angrily.

“Yes I did. Have something to do about it?” I taunted with a sneer. She was about to stand up and do something, maybe slap me when Lewis who was sitting at her other side held her.

“Okay girls, that’s enough. I don’t want to watch two ladies fighting each other.” Lewis said and Lauren calmed down slightly.

“So… you wanted to tell us the reason you dressed like this.” Kristen uttered, in an attempt to ease the tension in the air.

“Oh yes. So it happened like this…” I began and they listened carefully except Lewis who I’ve told about it before and Lauren who ate her food and turned deaf ears to us.

“Well, that’s something.” Cassie chuckled.

“But that isn’t enough for him to tell you to dress like the ladies in the 70s. Those men were the one at fault.” Kristen uttered.

“I know, right? But he has told me to start dressing the way I dress before. He said he doesn’t want me to scare people away with my dressing.” I laughed and heard a grunt from Lewis.

“But the dress wasn’t really bad. Y’all are just exaggerating about how bad the dress is.” Lewis stated.

“What do you know, Lewis? Only we the girls can tell if a dress is bad or good looking on a fellow girl. Y’all men don’t know anything.” Cassandra said laughingly.

“I know a lot of things about women’s fashion!” Lewis tried to defend himself.

“You don’t know anything about women’s sense of fashion, so rest!” Kristen uttered with a loud laugh but Lewis didn’t look like he was going to back down.

“I’ll prove to you that I know things about women’s fashion. Ask me any question.” He said surely.

“Okay, I won’t go easy on you.” Kristen warned playfully.

“Don’t go easy on me.” He smirked. Cassandra leaned towards Kristen and whispered something into her eyes and Kristen’s eyes lit up mischievously. Kristen cleared her throat loudly.

“So Lewis, my question for you is…” She trailed off, putting Lewis in suspense.

“Don’t put me in suspense, Kris. Go straight to the point.” He snapped.

“Alright, list three types of bras that we have.” Kristen stated and his eyes widened.

“What the fuck? I thought we are talking about fashion here!?” He exclaimed.

“Bras are part of fashion too.” Kristen smirked and I burst into laughter.

“I don’t know anything about bras. Ask another question.” He demanded.

“You have to answer this one.” I said.

“I know nothing about bras.” He cried and Cassandra, Kristen and I laughed at him. Lauren who had been eating her food quietly suddenly stood up and her chair scraped loudly against the floor.

“What’s up with her?” I asked Cassandra while staring at Lauren’s back as she walked away.

“I don’t know.” Cassandra shrugged carelessly.

“Back to the question. Now, list three types of panties that you know.” Kristen said again.

“Okay, that’s it! I admit it now, I don know anything about women’s fashion. You girls are demons.” He cried and we laughed at his misery.

“Don’t mess with the girls, bro. Mess with boys your own size.” I stated and shared an high-five with the girls and we continued eating while Lewis glared at us with feigned anger, he’ll be feeling like strangling us right now.
