Naomi

"What the hell do you mean by that?" I said fuming.

"I'm sorry Miss Smith but my employees are questioning this partnership."

"Why? Why are they questioning it? Is Smith Consolidated not good enough for them?"

"There is no doubt that Smith Consolidated is a powerful company. It is one of the strongest companies in the business world. It's not the company they are worried about, it is you Signorina. You are not your father Naomi and you've only been leading the company for a few weeks. They are questioning you being the co-owner of Rossati Enterprises."

"I assure you they don't have to question my abilities. Who the hell do they think they are questioning my capability of running a business, The New York Times, The Washington Post? I'm just as capable as you are!"

"I'm going to meet with my father and tell him about the concerns of the employees."

I scoffed, "Sexist bastards."

"I assumed from the start you weren't very fond of this partnership."

"You assumed correct. As the CEO, I don't like things to be passed and finalized without my consent. My father is no longer the CEO so he should talk to me about this stuff."

"I wasn't very fond of this partnership too for the reasons you've just listed. I'm going to try and convince my father to reconsider."

"And if that doesn't work?"

"I'll find a way to deal with this." He gestured between us before gesturing around.

"Oh how wonderful," I said my words laced with sarcasm, "I know what type of man you are Mr. Rossati."

"Please, humor me and tell me what kind of man I am."

"You are a ruthless business mogul who sleeps and toys with women to get what he wants. Well I'm not those women, I won't fall for your games," I said staring him dead in the eye.

"And I know all about you too Miss Smith. You also 'date' men to get what you want. And it seems like you just sleep with them that is if the deal is easy to close, am I correct?" He said stepping closer to me.

"You see, there is a difference between you and I. You-" I was interrupted before I could finish.

He leaned down until he was leveled with my ear. His voice dropped so low and became so cold it shamed Antarctica. "There is no difference between us cara. You and I play the same sick twisted games to get what we want. You just do it with stilettos on." He straightened and walked out of my office.

I was stunned for a moment. I turned around when footsteps came to my office door. I frowned at the person they belonged to.

"I didn't know your company was looking to expand to South Korea."

"Excuse me?" I rose my brow in confusion.

"Your new boytoy or do you prefer the term doll? Either way he is Tyler Kim right? You really are good at this game, you managed to snatch up the richest young business man in Korea. Congrstulazioni!" He turned around and walked away again.

The jerk! How dare he talk shit then congratulate me on the same shit? Wait, how the hell does he know about Tyler? We never came out as a couple to the world. I turned and ran to the elevator before he leaves. I caught him in time and slipped in dismissing the rest of the people in there.

"Please take the next lift. I have issues to discuss with Mr. Rossati." They nodded and exited the elevator.

"You must really enjoy my company Signorina seeing how fast you bolted down here and sent everybody out so you can be alone with me."

I huffed, "How do you know about my relationship with Mr. Kim?"

"I think you know him way too well to call him Mr. Kim." I could hear the double meaning behind his words.

"Just answer the question."

"Well bella, I investigated you."

"You stalked me?"

"Not stalk, investigate. It was a background check."

"You don't need to know about my love life in your background check so yeah it is stalking."

"So you are saying you didn't do an investigation on me?"

"We weren't talking about you and I'm not the least bit interested about your life."

"Oh is that so?"

The elevator door opened on the fifteenth floor and I stepped out. "How is your crazy girlfriend, Lydia Jones?"

His expression was priceless. His eyes widened and his mouth fell open in a pout like a fish. "Wha-" He started to say before I interrupted him.

"Bye!" I skipped my way to the elevator on the other side. I gave him an amused smile as his expression remained the same as his elevator doors closed. I got in the waiting elevator and rode to the top floor.

I skipped my way to my office getting a weird look from Lisa. She probably thought I was bipolar or high or something. I was still ticked off that they think I'm not capable of running a business. It's not like I'm one of those spoiled heiresses, my parents made sure of that, with no knowledge or experience in business management. I've been taking business and management courses since like the eighth grade.

"Do these look good on me?" Jade asked.

"What am I looking at?" She pointed to her feet where my new expensive shoes were. "Have you lost your mind?"

"You know Toxic is going to be crazy tonight, you should come."

"Have you listened to a word I've said? I have bigger things to worry about."

"Mimi I love you and when I say this I say it with love. Shut up! Who are they to question your capability to run a business? Them doubting you should motivate you to work harder and make them eat their own words. You need to take them back to school!"

"Thanks Jay."

"Now call that boyfriend of yours and tell him we're going clubbing."

"Okay."

Tyler, Jade, her new boyfriend Pro Footballer (American Football) Rae Knight and I stood outside of Toxic. We went to the back entrance because the front was scattered with paparazzi. Jade wore a tight bandage dress with cuts on the sides showing skin. I wore sequin gold shorts with a black top. Tyler held my hand as we entered the club. The music was loud and the club was lit with neon party lights. People were grinding on the dance floor already while some were noticeably tipsy.

"What do you want to drink?" Tyler asked me.

"Surprise me." He nodded and walked off. He came back and handed me a glass with yellow liquid in it. It was very good, very sweet.

Jade and I went to dance for awhile while the guys went to the bar. The guys came after awhile to dance with us probably because we started getting hit on. We went to the bar again and drank some more.

"Let's go to the VIP section for awhile, I'm tired," Jade said.

We all agreed and started heading upstairs. We met Mario on the bottom of the stairs when we were going up and he was going down. Oh Shit! He was dressed entirely in black which made him look irresistible-uh I mean he looked good. He had on black skinny jeans, black shoes and a black v neck shirt. He smirked at me, asswipe.

"Naomi Smith? Jade Hale? Is that you guys?" I turned my head noticing the red head by Mario's side. Ugh Lydia Jones.
