The Billionaire Mafia
Really Making Upset

Several days passed since Keiko's return with her parents and Uncle Brian. Darren goes about his day as free as ever, taking care of the company and replacing meetings whenever Arthur doesn't come to the company. Although her busyness is interrupted by Veronica who seems to have become a habit of the woman disrupts her time. But as long as the woman does not overdo it, then she can not repel.

The knock on the door diverted Darren's attention from the pile of documents, allowing anyone to enter. And Gabriela saw him with some documents to hand over to Darren.

"Mr Darren, this is a document that has been examined and requires Mr. Arthur's signature today as well" he explained and then Gabriela put some of the documents on Darren's desk.

"Well, at lunchtime I'll meet Ar."

Hearing Darren's words, Gabriela just nodded. He had just wanted to resign, but was stopped for a moment because he wanted to ask something that made him curious.

"Hm, Mister. Can I ask you something?" Actually Gabriela was afraid to ask, but the beautiful secretary was really curious about the figure of a beautiful woman who he knew worked as a model, several times came to the company just to meet Darren.

"What's wrong?" ask without switching from a piece of document he is studying.

"Hm, look, sir. It might sound annoying to Mr. Darren, but like the rest of the employees, I'm also curious"

"Tell me the point, Ela. Don't you see I'm busy?" Darren cut out Gabriela's overly wordy words in her opinion.

Gabriela nodded, then took a second to catch her breath. "Do you and Miss Veronica have a relationship?" Finally the question came from Gabriela's lips. But looking at Darren who was looking at him so sharply, Gabriela became excited. He did not mean anything, only he was so curious about the rumors circulating in the company. "Sorry sir, I didn't mean anything. I just wanted to ask because I heard a no-no rumor." The secretary tried to explain without any other intention.

"What kind of gossip?" From Gabriel's long words, only the word 'gossip' disturbs Darren's curiosity.

"Hm, they say that Miss Veronica is over-pursuing Mr. Darren. Some even say that Miss Veronica is like a cheap woman who seduces Mr. Darren."

Hearing such a condescending sentence Veronica made Darren become irritated all of a sudden. He disagreed with the rumors about the woman, as he was most aware that Veronica's arrival only brought her lunch, not as tempting as alleged.

Darren sighed to dampen his frustration. "Listen to Ela, if you hear such gossip again, you can rebuke them. Miss Veronica is a good friend of Miss Elie's, what do you think Miss Elie would do if she heard her best friend being gossiped is not that good?" Not only would Elie be enraged, he could have silenced the mouths of those who were presumptuously demeaning the woman.

"Good sir." Gabriela nodded in understanding. "Actually I've already reprimanded them, but the well-processed gossip will always be an endless consumption and I can't always prevent them from spreading untrue gossip about Miss Veronica."

"I don't want to know, Ela!" Whether conscious or not, Darren's snapping voice made Gabriela like she had a heart attack. "If you need to threaten a letter of dismissal to anyone who dares to spread the word is no longer true in the company!" he doesn't mess with what he says.

"Bad-good Mr. Darren. Then excuse me first." Hurried Gabriela out of the room, she did not want to be the target of her Master's annoyance.

As soon as she returned to the desk, Gabriela stroked her chest that was still pounding in fear. "Say she's just Miss Elie's best friend, but Mr. Darren defends Miss Veronica like that. Are they really not related?" Gabriela shrugged her shoulders, not wanting to worry too much about her superior relationship, she better resume her work.

***

Steep graceful footsteps with black-witched stilettos, adding beauty to the appearance of a beautiful woman who walked through the crowd of lobbies that seemed filled and then the employees who flocked to want to rest for lunch.

Veronica's appearance this afternoon is so charming with a blend of black sleeveless dress. It's just that his shoulder is left over by a milk-brown coat. The woman walked gracefully and became the spotlight of many eyes that were fascinated with her beauty. But there are some who do not like the woman because they feel jealous of the beauty possessed by Veronica and they include the three women who are gossip spreaders by adding spices that are not tasty.

"So the woman came again?" The female employee made up pretty thick it was a lip smash no like on Veronica's figure.

"He hasn't given up on flirting with Mr. Darren." His friend chimed in.

"Ck, does she deserve to be Mr Darren's girlfriend? Look, her face isn't prettier than yours, Chelsea."

"True, she's just an unpopular model. I only saw it a few times on the front page of a magazine cover. Does he think he can beat you, Chelsea?"

Hearing the words of his two friends, the woman named Chelsea revealed a smile of pride. The woman was nothing compared to her who came from a rich family. He worked at the Romanov Group company as a regular staff only to target the man who had caught his eye. But unfortunately, for two months working at the Romanov Group, he did not have the opportunity to approach Austin or Darren. Whereas if she could have one of them, she would be the luckiest woman to be part of the Romanov Family.

Chelsea smiled cynically if considering his efforts that have a big stumbling block. The two men are so hard to get close to, and right now there's another woman trying to get close to one of his dream men, Darren.

I won't let you get Mr. Darren.

With small steps, he left his two friends to pursue the female model who was about to head for the elevator. As soon as his step was almost closer, Chelsea deliberately pushed Veronica's shoulder to make the woman stagger back.

"God, don't you see your way? The road in front of you is so wide, why can it hit me?!" Veronica who did not accept instead berated Chelsea.

"Hey, the model is not famous. Why did you come to this company again? Are you really shameless?!" Chelsea immediately attacked Veronica with a slur.

"I'm coming here or not, it's none of your business! Why do you want to take care of me?!" the baby sneered at Chelsea, even the sweep of his vision looked at the appearance of the woman in front of him.

"Well, what am I taking care of you for! I just don't want this big company to be tainted by a woman like you!" chelsea retaliate for attack.

Of course Veronica was offended by the words of Chelsea and he did not accept. The woman wanted to find trouble with him, oh of course Veronica would not stay silent.

"I'm really confused why the Romanov Group company can accept employees who only care about your appearance. I'm pretty sure your brain is completely empty!" Veronica's words were really successful to make inflamed Chelsea do not accept.

"You... shit! How dare you be with me!" Just as Chelsea stepped forward, a special elevator for the company's top officials opened up and revealed the figures of Darren, Austin and Gabriela who followed the two along with Bastian, Austin's assistant.

"What is this?!" Darren's touch managed to stop the movement of Chelsea's hands and steps that floated in the air.

"Sir Darren... Mr Austin?" Chelsea were stunned to see the two men of his dreams. Of course he doesn't want his image to be bad in front of the two. "Sorry sir, this woman just accidentally bumped into me" she said with her sweetest smile.

"Currently, what's that smile?" Veronica muttered sneering at the way the woman smiled, what a smile that was made sweet, but it looked disgusting in her eyes. "At first it was clear he was the one who hit me" he added, cutting his lips.

Darren glanced at Veronica, as if he was used to hearing her mutter with all his expressions. Then he looked back at Chelsea.

"Then get out of the way, don't get in the way!" he was focused on Chelsea.

"Bright sir." Suddenly Chelsea immediately stepped aside and opened the way so that Darren, Austin and others can walk freely.

Darren and Austin just passed Veronica. So the woman immediately followed the two to the lobby, in contrast to Gabriela and Bastian who stepped into the cafeteria. Now Veronica is between Austin and Darren, making the woman the center of attention because it can be between the two men who have high positions in the company and are notoriously difficult to approach. Veronica turned her head for a moment towards Chelsea and she smiled mockingly.

Chelsea who saw him become upset, the repeated pounding of his foot signifies he was so unacceptable. Goddamnit! Just watch out for you, bitch.

Once in front of the company, Veronica's steps stopped because Darren and Austin stopped their steps.

"Did you come here to give me lunch again?" ask Darren to the point. But her eyes looked at Veronica's hands that carried nothing but her tote bag.

"Hm, no." Veronica was embarrassed, Darren said blatantly in front of Austin, though the man looked indifferent by keeping his distance. "I happen to have a photo shoot near here and I'm resting, so I think it's good to take you to lunch together."

Darren was silent for a moment, before then replying, "I'm sorry, I can't seem to. I still have work outside."

"All right then." Veronica put on a disappointed face. This afternoon, I had no friends to have lunch with. Elie refuses her lunch invitation because it has been monopolized by Mr. Mikel. While Joana, her friend was out of town. Before long, the woman's phone rang and Veronica quickly reached into her tote bag. He answered a call that turned out to be from Larry.

"What's up Larry? Ah, you done? Then wait for me at the usual place." After saying that, Veronica disconnected the phone. "I'll excuse you then. Next time we have to have lunch together again, ok?" he told Darren and without waiting for an answer from the man, Veronica immediately stepped away to stop the taxi that coincided with passing. Veronica immediately got into the taxi and the taxi immediately drove her to the destination.

Darren was flabbergasted for a moment, he was just left behind when the woman no longer needed him?

"Huhaha...." Darren's ears were hot as Austin's laughter exploded right then and there. "You see Der, he took a call from another man and you just got dumped." And Austin's laughter still didn't subside, he was satisfied to see Darren's stupid, funny-looking face in his eyes.

Of course Darren was upset about the laughter of Austin who was mocking him. "Fuckie! Looks like I need to stuff your mouth, As!"

But instead of easing the laughter, Austin just laughed more and more while stepping towards the car. Leaving Darren with his still burning annoyance.

That woman really pissed off.

To be continue
