The billionaire’s trap

　　"Please ma'am, you can't go inside! Mr. Hunter doesn't wish to be disturbed! You have to wait if you want to see him!" Faith Jameson hurriedly blocked the scantily clad woman's path. 　　The woman raised a perfectly arched brow, her expression was one of impatience as her brightly painted lips tightened in annoyance. 　　"Who do you think you are to stop me!" She spat. 　　Faith sighed. 　　How many times since these four years she had heard this exact same line? 　　She stared at the furious woman in front of her. 　　Carla Luis was a popular designer, her father owned several companies, the newspapers, TV, and magazines had carried it all through the last week that Carla Luis and Sterling Hunter were dating but this was her first appearance in the office. 　　"I apologize, Mr. Hunter is currently in an important meeting, I can get you water if you insist on waiting?" Faith offered and she could almost see the fumes escaping Carla's nostrils. 　　"You should know that I'm Sterling's girlfriend, he's going to propose to me soon, do you still think that I don't have the right to see him? I can even fire you right now if I want to!" 　　What was it with these women her Boss dated? Faith thought. She always tried to be polite with them, why couldn't they be at least understanding? Did they all have to be arrogant and rude? 　　Working as Mr. Sterling Hunter's personal assistant was indeed a tiring job most of the time. 　　Faith got this job four years ago and if she were to count the number of women that have spoken about firing her, they would count up to her ten fingers, or even more. 　　Who didn't know of Sterling Hunter's reputation? 　　He had the good looks and the money, it was common for women to throw themselves at him. 　　"Suit yourself then." Faith muttered under her breath, unwilling to continue to put up with Carla's attitude, she started to return to her desk but didn't expect to be suddenly yanked backward. 　　"Did you just talk back to me! Where are your manners? I could complain to Sterling about you." Carla's nails were digging onto Faith's shoulders. 　　For how long was she going to continue to deal with these kinds of women? 　　"You do know that Mr. Hunter got two of his past girlfriends arrested for laying their hands on me, I heard they are still serving jail time, I will advise you to keep your hands to yourself, ma'am." Faith shrugged away from Carla's grip, meeting the woman's shocked stare with a mocking smile. 　　"Are you trying to say something here? Is that it?" 　　Faith ignored Carla's words, Carla had not been able to disguise the jealousy in her voice. 　　Faith was not bothered about her threats to get her fired. She knew she was doing a good job for her boss and he would never fire her without a reason. Even though others see her boss as cold, arrogant, and manipulative, he always treated her well and was kind enough. 　　This was the reason why she had never considered resigning despite some of the difficult situations. Her salary was quite attractive, she constantly received monthly bonuses, much to her greatest shock, and the rest of the employees, Mr. Hunter and gifted her a new car because she arrived to work late on the day her old car broke down. 　　Faith had been a fresh graduate from the University when Mr. Hunter hired her, she was grateful to him. 　　The office door suddenly opened and Sterling Hunter walked out. Faith was surprised by the sudden change in Carla's expression. The once angry woman now had a wide smile playing across her lips. 　　"Baby! You kept me waiting, your secretary wouldn't let me in!" 　　Faith almost snorted at the way Carla adjusted her dress, her breasts were nearly spilling out, her heels clicking as she seductively walked towards Sterling Hunter. 　　"I missed you so much!" Carla started to lean for a kiss but Sterling Hunter moved away at the last moment, his eyes locating where Faith was standing. 　　"Ms. Jameson, in my office, Now!. We have something to discuss." 　　Faith held her boss' gaze, she thought she saw annoyance and something she couldn't identify flash in his dark eyes, her lips tightened in worry, she thought she had done a good job in keeping his girlfriend away from the meeting, or was it that the meeting didn't go well? 　　"I think you mean me, not her! I came to surprise you, I thought we could have some fun." Carla giggled, clinging onto Sterling's arms, her lips curved in a pout. 　　Faith didn't realize the quiet sigh she heaved when her boss' piercing gaze was finally diverted away from her, she had worked for him for four years, but she still couldn't completely make eye contact with him. She always got a strange feeling in her stomach each time. 　　"What did I tell you about coming to my workplace? I was not able to complete my meeting because of your disturbances. The door is open, leave!" 　　Faith winced at Sterling Hunter's sharp words, at this moment, she even felt pity for Carla even though the woman had been rude to her earlier. She wondered if she should leave the couple alone, it all seemed too personal for her to be present. 　　"Why are you rude to me? You can't mean that! I'm your girlfriend! Why are you upset that I'm here? Don't tell me that the rumors are true?" Carla glared in Faith's direction, clinging onto Sterling Hunter's arms even more desperately. 　　"The rumors that you're f*****g your little secretary! She even admitted that you arrested two people for her sake!" 　　Faith didn't expect to be suddenly involved in the conversation, her ears reddened at Carla's vulgar words, the woman was currently throwing her the dirtiest of glares. All the sympathy she felt for Carla instantly vanished away. 　　Sure her boss was strikingly handsome but she had never regarded him in a personal way, her relationship with Sterling had always been on a purely professional level! 　　They weren't even each other's type! 　　"Leave right now!" 　　Sterling's expression was dark and menacing, for a moment Faith felt scared for Carla even though she knew that Carla didn't deserve it. 　　"You aren't denying it? You owe me an explanation! You are my boyfriend!" Carla yelled when Sterling suddenly announced. 　　"Not anymore, the security will walk you out if you don't leave this building in the next three seconds!" 　　Color pumped into Carla's face, her eyes were wide with shock and concealed anger. 　　"Y__you don't mean that, you can't break up with me! Your mother said we are going to get married, are you really going to throw away all that I can offer you__" She barely got to finish her statement when two huge bodyguards appeared. 　　"Don't touch me! You will regret what you are doing to me one day! You will never get another woman like me!" 　　Carla was sobbing loudly and uncontrollably. Faith wondered how Mr. Hunter didn't even flinch, if anything he looked annoyed by Carla's constant tears. 　　Did relationships not mean anything to him? How could he not have the slightest feelings for these women? She thought. 　　"So are you going to leave on your own? Or should they take you away?" Sterling's expression remained unfeeling. 　　Carla stormed out of the premises, but not before casting a hateful look at Faith. 　　There goes another break-up, Faith thought, she felt as though she had just experienced a murder scene. 　　She noticed Sterling staring at her and swallowed hard. 　　The silence between them was unbearable and awkward. 　　"Ms. Jameson? Didn't I mention for you to be in my office!" 　　"Y_yes sir" Faith muttered, she suddenly remembered that she equally had important to tell him as well.
