Without The Boss

Charlie
After I disappeared from my brother and annoying fledgling, I changed my clothes into my combat and stealth clothes. I went to spy outside daddy's manor.
I situated myself on top of a branch if a tall tree in front of his office.
The bastard is celebrating his recent victory. He might thought he got rid of Arion, to take over the top spot in the business world, but he's wrong.
'You won't know what hit you, daddy. ' I thought.
I saw him make out with the slut Nicole. Ewwwww. Gross. If they were humans, they would be oozing with STDs. Before my innocent eyes could get burn with their nasty deed, I left and went home.
Arion's car was no longer in the driveway. I guess he already left. I went inside and have a glass of vodka. Chris appeared in the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest.
"He's in. "
"That's good. "
Chris walked towards me and he told me about their plan. I nodded in agreement.
The following morning, I am in Arion's office. I was working on his pending work. I've been reading it and forging Arion's signature. Yeah I know that's wrong but he gave permission to do so. He told me what I should do in his office before he left with Chris this morning. And it includes forging his signatures in this stock of papers. Using a bit of magic, the forged signatures are as real as the real one. When I was done, Marc came in.
"Hi Charlie! Where's the boss?" He asked.
I smiled at him and answered.
"The boss went in an indefinite leave. "
He furrows his brows.
"Leave? Why am I not informed? How about his scheduled meetings?" He asked.
"I-I don't know. He just called me this morning to clear his schedule and that he's going in an indefinite leave. Does he do this often?"
"No. He never goes on a leave of absence. That man is very workaholic. What should we do now?"
I handed him a letter that Arion told me to give Marc. He took it and read it.
He seems shocked, stunned and speechless.
"Are you alright? "
"Where do you get this?" He asked.
"In his desk. He told me on the phone that he left a letter on his desk that I need to give to you. Why? What's wrong?"
He looked up from the letter.
"That son of a b***h!! He left his company in my hands while he's chilling' in the freaking Caribbean!!!" He exclaimed.
"Uh.. Isn't that a sort of a promotion?" I asked.
"Yeah, but...OIC is such a big responsibility. I-I can't do this. "He said shaking like he was scared.
I grabbed his face and looks at his eyes.
"You're excellent in what you do. The boss chose you because he's certain that you can do what you are ordered to. I'll be here to help. Now man up and let's begin with our work today, boss. " I told him through compulsion.
He nodded and took a seat in Arion's chair behind the desk. I smiled and gladly helped him with what he had to accomplish.
It took a week before Marc got used to his new job. But he still freak out every now and then. Ever since Marc and I got to work side by side, I grew to like him. Not like-like. He reminds me so much of Chris when he's still young.
I was typing a report in my computer when a tall woman with a long bleached blonde hair came and stood in front of my desk. I look up to her.
"What can I do for you miss?"
"Where is Arion?" She sneered at me.
"Mr. Knight is not here at the moment. He's on an indefinite leave of absence. " I politely told her.
Her lovely face changed unto a furious one and slammed her hands in my desk.
"I know he's here! That man owes me a trip to Paris with him! I know you are hiding him from me, you slut!!" She yelled.
Other employees came to stop and watch a disaster about to unfold.
I stood up and looked at her straight.
"I'm sorry miss who-ever-you-are. As I've told you before, he is on leave. He's already gone for a week. If you can't quite comprehend such simple sentence, better yet ran back to school. " I said with gritted teeth.
She gasped along with other employees.
"Why you little b***h! I am Arion's girlfriend! How dare you! You are just a low life employee that thought you can have someone like Arion Knight! Slut!!"
Then she did something unexpected. She slapped me. Everyone else in the room gasped. I reached for my throbbing cheek and glared at her.
"Wrong move, b***h. " I mumbled.
I grabbed a thick stack of papers and slapped it across her face. It was so strong that she lost balance and fell on the floor. Another loud gasp from other employees. The woman is more stunned that she was speechless.
"I don't care if I get fired or sued. No one and I repeat no one laid their hands on me and gets away with it. Now get the hell out I'd here!!" I growled.
bHer eyes widened and then she glared at me. She got up and dusted herself before stomping her way out. Dee, one of the employees walked towards me. She's the closest to me ever since I started here.
"That was bloody brilliant! No one ever stood up against Carmen Strype." She said.
"Who is she anyway?"
"Oh she's one of the boss' flings. She's always here for the boss. If Nicole isn't pleasing the boss under or over his desk, it would be Carmen humping him on his couch. "She told me.
Unconsciously, I gripped my desk hard enough for it to break. Good thing Dee is still busy glaring at Carmen's retreating back that she isn't noticed the damage I have done.
"I'm so proud of you Charlie. "
I looked around and saw Marc standing in the hallway with his hands tucked in his pockets.
"You've handled that leech quite well. Maybe you should be Mr. Knight's bodyguard instead. " he said And I rolled my eyes.
"Come on let's have ice cream. It was quite an inferno hit in here. " Marc said.
"Oohh a date?" Dee teased.
Marc buckled and shook his head.
"A friendly date. You can come too Dee." He said.
"That's what I've been waiting. Let's go." Dee said bouncing like a kid.
Marc and I chuckled and followed.
