You can't keep dancing with the devil and wonder why you are not out of hell.
She opened the door when he heard his voice, telling her to come in. She dropped the weird woman act and looked around the office with disgust written all over her face. This place used to be her office, well not technically but it was the office she designed for herself.
Oliver raised his head to tell off the woman that entered his office and didn't bother to greet him, it was bad enough that he had never heard of her name, he wondered how a person that isn't from a well-known family ended up at SJAY.
You only get to work there if you are rich or extremely brilliant, there is no in between. He hired the zero brain for their connection, he just put them in a position where all they have to do is easy, but for those with a brain, he put them together in a group and had them work the most important part.
Maybe this Ms. Finley is a super brilliant person and probably a nerd because her dressing and glasses screamed that word, he would deal with her before dealing with Sapphire.
He almost fell from his chair when he saw that it was Sapphire standing in front of him.
'Why on earth are you wearing that?" He asked with a raised brow, still in shock. Sapphire would not be caught dead in this kind of dressing, talk less of wearing it around like it is her daily dressing.
'Why can't I wear it? My husband doesn't complain about it, he actually loves it,"
'Then he has bad taste, I don't expect Alexander to be so bad,"
'No, he doesn't, you are the one that has bad brains, Xander loves whatever I wear, no matter how beautiful or hideous it looks, and I dare you to say it to his face that he has bad taste," Sapphire defended Alexander and Oliver's face darkened.
'Now, what did you ask me to come here for ‘Mr Investor?" Sapphire asked, emphasizing on the word investor.'What are you doing here Sapphire?" Oliver asked"
'Why are you back in New York, most especially, what do you hope to get by working at SJAY, at my company?"
'I am doing what I need to do here, I am back in New York because it was about time I got married to Alexander," Sapphire said, crossing her hand in front of her chest. 'And for the last part I am here at SJAY because I love Ice Cream." She said before chuckling to herself.
'Cut the crap, Sapphire!" Oliver said, already agitated. He knew that Sapphire is up to something but he doesn't see how it relates to her working in the team of the Strategy Manager, she is the junior and with her disguise, she would lack the charisma to get to the top.
'Cut to the chase, Oliver," Sapphire said with an eye roll. 'The only reason why I am not out of the door is because of course, you are the ‘investor' of this company and I am afraid of getting fired'
'How about we conduct a paternity test to prove that Andrea and Andrew are not really mine," Oliver said, licking his lips and Sapphire scoffed at him.
*Why the hell would I allow you to do that?" Sapphire asked, disbelief evident in her eyes, why on earth is this man obsessed with her kids? 'You are a nobody,"
'I am not a nobody, I am your ex and a potential father of those babies," He gritted out.
'Some really good position you have next to them, can you tell me their favorite food? To prove that you aren't a nobody to them." Sapphire asked and Oliver was speechless. 'And saying that you are my ex like it is an Oscar is really pathetic, you shouldn't make it so evident if you haven't gotten over me, try to be subtle," Sapphire said in mocked sympathy.
'You had better let us get this over when I am being civil or else—"
'You would frame me for being a stripper again? Or not leaving the drugs behind? Or being the Reason why Heather had a miscarriage like you did two years ago? Or maybe you would come up with new lies like how I am back threatening you and sending hired assassins after you?" Sapphire said, with the expression of someone reading the grocery list. 'I am really curious about what you have up your sleeve," she added with a grin.
'You—' He said but was cut off again.
'Bring it on this time Oliver, I am ready to be on the battlefield with you and you are definitely going to have a lot of blood which is yours on you," Sapphire said and stood up.
'I have got to go, Mr. Gray. I have to attend a yoga practice, your wife….or should I say Fiancée? And her minion invited me there, I would definitely help you say hi to her,"
'This isn't going to be smooth for you if you choose to do this, I can be as evil as I can get and you of all people know that too damn well," He told her with poison on his word and an evil smirk on his lips, finally, the real Oliver is out.
'I know and my husband does too," Sapphire said, turning to face him. 'Alyssa is also planning to build her own company too, my bad," she said, placing her hand on her chest in a faux apology. 'she had already built a company, she would like to deal in cosmetics, I would say you have got a good rival,"
'What are you trying to say?"
'You love riding on the wild side, Oliver, we both know. Hold on tight because this ride is as wild as it gets," She said, a condescending smirk on her lips, and with that she got out, slamming the door behind her.
'Bitch!" Oliver said as took the glass cup on the table and threw it at the wall, he loosened his tie and nodded, poking his tongue at the inner part of his cheek with an evil glint in his eyes.
