Sitting on her rolling chair, her eyes were focused on the view displayed in front of her. The twinkling stars were splashed everywhere in the dark sky that is covering the entire city. She swirled the red wine in the glass she was holding in her right hand, enjoying the sweet aroma from it before lifting the wine glass to take a small sip on it. When the cold wine touched her tongue, a small smile played on her lips. The taste of it was sweet and fruity, but not enough to remove its good flavor and quality.
This relaxing time of hers was disturbed when someone suddenly opened the door of her office loudly. When she spun her chair to see who was the scoundrel that disturbed her peaceful time, she saw her supposed-to-be business partner today. Her secretary told her that she was supposed to have a meeting with him today. And yet, she canceled it one minute before the scheduled time, leaving a note saying that she's not interested in their partnership anymore. Her secretary quickly apologized and explained that he was being forceful to see her. Telling her that it's okay, her secretary hesitatingly closed the door.
Mr. Honda, her supposed-to-be business partner, looks at her with anger obviously sketched on his face. He walked towards her and slammed his hands on her desk before clenching it both until his knuckles turned white. She just quietly observed his face with a calm expression.
"So what did I do to have the pleasure of you visiting my office personally?" She asked with a small smile on her lips, but the mockery in her voice never missed the distressed businessman.
"Why did you cancel our partnership?! We had a proper talk about it last week and you've already said yes! So give me a reason why did you cancel it?!" The businessman shouted at her.
"Just because." She answered coolly before placing the glass she was holding on her desk. This makes him angrier than before. He makes havoc by spilling all the things on her desk.
"Give me a damn answer!!" He shouted at her.
His angry screams were giving her a headache now. Opening the top drawer of her desk, she produces a black folder and placed it in front of him.
"Open it." She said.
"What are-"
"Open it." She repeated.
He keeps staring at her for a while before harshly opening the black folder. The folder contains all the nasty things he did to his company. Sexual harassment, embezzlements, forgery, etc. The first time she saw it, she can't help but laughed. This man looks like he was trying to do all the nasty things for his company.
"Do you think I will continue our partnership knowing about these things? Be grateful that I didn't 'accidentally' call the police earlier for that information." She said. "And besides, your company is a very small one compared to mine."
Hearing her comment served as a fuel added to the fire. He tore the documents in his hands into pieces before leaning on her desk just to give her a glare.
"Are you playing with me?! You are just a brat who happened to be-"
"To be what? To be the most powerful business tycoon in the whole city? Who cares if I'm a woman and the youngest of all? You still can't change the fact that I'm more powerful than you."
His glaring eyes were turning red from anger, yet she was still giving him a mocking smile. Talking about rubbing salt to an open wound. A minute passed and he suddenly laughed. He laughed like a madman before lowering his body to face her.
"Do you think that you won already? Think again. You are just a little girl who needs a severe lesson right now." He said in a low and vibrating voice. He was obviously trying to intimidate her. Instead of giving it a thought, she just casually look at her wristwatch before speaking again.
"Can we just reschedule that "lesson" of yours? I still have an appointment to attend tonight and to be honest, listening to you makes me want to have a good drink tonight."
Standing from her seat, she took her coat from its coat hanger and grabbed her purse. She looked at him again before speaking in a very formal tone.
"If you will excuse me, I have to take my leave now. But no worries. I don't have any plans of seeing you ever again, Mr. Honda. Well then, have a good night ahead."
She waltzes her way out to her own office. Her secretary was waiting outside and she apologized again for what happened earlier. She reassured her secretary that it's not her fault and instructed her to escort Mr. Honda out of the office and clean the mess he made inside her office.
Yup. This is just one of her normal and ordinary days at work.
