CHLOE'S POV
I'm trying to calm myself down from what happened a while ago with that High and Mighty Beca Mitchell, who does she think she is? She's way too different from her siblings!
I know I badly needed this job for my sisters but I'm not afraid that they are going to fire me because of my behaviour towards that arrogant jerk.
I'm really going to quit this job when the time comes that she's the one managing this store.
I sit on the chair and sighs; I have so many problems right now that I don't have time to stress myself out over her. I saw the door opens and the assistant manager is walking towards me.
I guess it's time for me to find another job.
"Hey Chloe, Sir James told me to tell you that he needed to talk to you about something. They are waiting for you at Ms. Posen's office." He said "Oh thank you Sir Neil." He smiled at me and left the locker room.
After I come out of the locker room, I walk straight to where Aubrey's office is and saw Michael waving at me.
"Hey pretty." He said "Hey Mike."
"I ah heard what happened to you and Ms. Mitchell." As he walks beside me "There are some employees who heard you two and they are willing to explain it to Sir James and Sir Owen."
I smiled at him and look straight ahead "It's okay, I'll be fine and please tell them that I say thank you."
"S-sure Chloe, anything for you." I appreciate their help but I don't want them to get involve and suffer the consequences "So I'll see you later. Sir James is waiting for me inside."
Michael nods his head as I knock and turn the handle on the door "Sir James?" I said.
"Come in Ms. Beale." I hear him say, I enter the room and I saw Sir Owen and Aubrey talking to each other, they both give me a small smile when they see me.
"Sir Neil said that you wanted to talk to me about something?" I asks "Oh yeah, he called you so that he can fire you for what you did to me." I hear Beca answers and saw her sitting on the left corner away from the three.
"What I did to you? I'm lost?" I ask her "Hah! Don't play dumb with me. You told me to clean up the mess because my brothers had done it too."
"You do know that it's wrong to lie especially to your boss?" Beca ask "Yes but I didn't lie to Sir James or Sir Owen."
"You lied to me!"
"You're not my boss…. YET!" Beca opens her mouth but I speak up again "I remember you told me that you'll be the one managing this store six months from now."
"So at the moment, your brothers are my bosses and not you, am I right Ms. No Name Mitchell?"
I saw her opens and close her mouth trying to say something but in the end she just nods her head slowly, I smirk at her as she glares at me.
"Good, now if you'll excuse me, my boss wants to talk to me."
BECA'S POV
Did that just really happened?
I let someone like her talk to me like that?! No one talks to Beca Mitchell that way and can get away with it!
I'm still looking at this redhead standing in front of my brothers and Aubrey. Owen motions for her to sit down. I told them what happened between me and her and I told them to fire her.
"We called you to talk about what happened between you and our sister." Chloe looks at me and now I'm the one smirking at her.
Just wait 'til she hears that they are firing her.
"And on behalf of our sister, we do apologize for her behaviour." Owen said "Yes that's right! It's wrong to-" then I realize what he just said.
"Wait a minute! Why are you apologizing to her? She's the one who made me do things I shouldn't have done and she lied to me!"
"She didn't lie to you, actually Beca, we do help with the chores around here if we're not busy and even if she ordered you to clean up and we don't see anything wrong with that." James said to me.
"But-"
"You should say sorry to her too for being arrogant." Aubrey butted in "I'm not going to say sorry! Nah uh! No way! Nada!"
"Beca…." I ignore the way Owen says my name and plays with my phone "It's okay Sir, she doesn't have to apologize to me. What I did was out of the line too and I'm deeply sorry for my actions." I hear Chloe said.
I look up and I saw her looking at me, she walks slowly and apologize to me "I don't need your sorry and even if you cry a river, I won't forgive you."
"Who says I'll cry a river for you? In your dreams baby." She fires back, I stand up and was about to say something when Aubrey clears her throat "That would be all Chloe; you can go back to your work." She said.
"Sorry again." The redhead said to them and walk pass by me "We're not yet done, red."
"Whatever you say Lil Leprechaun!" and went out of the door "Did you hear that?! She called me Lil Leprechaun!"
"Do you even know what a leprechaun is?" James asks me "They are small people living in small houses and friends with a guy who's after a ring."
"You're referring to a hobbit Beca and not leprechaun." Aubrey says "Whatever! She still disrespects me!"
"You want people to respect you? Then learn to do the same. Yes they are our employees and pay them for their service but without them, we won't be where we are today." Owen explained to me.
"If you guys are done preaching me then I need to go. I have better things to do and find someone I can hire to be my girlfriend." I stand up and was about to walk towards the door when James called me.
"You know we already found someone who can pretend to be your girl." He said, I turn around and face them again "Who?" I saw my brothers and Aubrey look at each other.
"None other than Ms. Chloe Beale." James answered.
As Chloe went back to her work, she did all her best she can do to forget what happened between her and Beca. Whenever she sees her, she always changes her course so they won't meet.
Hours pass by and Beca's friends arrive. She called them and asked for their help. She also tells Amy and CR about the incident. They place a table at the corner of the store and sits on their chair.
"Don't we look stupid sitting here and looking at girls?" CR asks the two who are both holding a piece of paper on their hands "Yeah I feel like we're sales agent handing out fliers." Amy said as she looks at Beca who is currently texting someone on her phone.
"Oh come on you guys, we won't give them some fliers. We will just sit here and make some observations on each girls that passes by." The brunettes answered without looking at the two.
"All of the girls? Including the customers?" and Beca nodded her head at CR "Well then let's get this started so I can go home because I have a date tonight." Amy said.
Another hour passes by but the three girls didn't find anyone who will suit to be their friend's fake girlfriend. Beca always find something not appealing to every prospect Amy and Cr told her.
'Can I slap her head for just once?' Amy whispered to CR who is kinda bored looking around 'Don't do that dude, that's rude!... hand her instead!' the blonde girl furiously nods her head as an evil grin appears on Cynthia Rose's face.
"What are you guys doin'?" Beca asks "Oh nothing, we're just talking about ah what kind of girl you like ya know." CR answered then Amy heard a voice on her right. She saw a redhead talking to two ladies asking where they could find the product they wanted to buy.
She nudges her elbow at CR and waits for her friend to look at where she's looking "Do you see what I'm seeing?" the blonde girl asks.
CR thinks that girl is not too skinny, not too small, not too tall and all the not's Beca said to them a while ago "Yeah but she's too perfect for our devil friend."
"I agree but let's ask our sarcastic friend for her opinion." CR nods her head at Amy and the two look at the brunette "Hey Beca!" Amy said.
"Yep?"
"We found a perfect girl for you." CR said, Beca then looks at the friends and saw Amy pointing her finger at someone. She then saw Chloe smiling at some of their customers.
"Her?! She's the perfect girl?!" Beca ask "Yeah she is though way too perfect for you but I think she'll manage." Amy answered.
What's with this girl and even my friends like her? There's nothing special about this Chloe Beale.
She's busy thinking and didn't notice that Amy and CR are now walking towards the redhead. Beca only realizes it when she looks to her right and didn't saw the two.
What the fuck are they doing?!
She immediately follows them and stops the two from getting too close at Chloe whose attention is already at the three girls. When she saw Beca is looking at her, she rolled her eyes at the brunette and brought back her attention to the customers.
"Did she just roll her eyes at you?" CR ask in shock, you see, Beca has this kind of reputation that everybody loves her especially the girls and no one, no one ever treat the brunette the way Chloe did.
"That's why I told you she has no respect for her soon to be boss." Beca answered still looking at the redhead "Or maybe she'll give her respect to you once you're the one managing this store… but nah, I have this feeling that you're making her blood boils just by standing near her."
The brunette ark an eyebrow at her blond friend but didn't say anything to her. She looks at Chloe again and thinks that if ever she'll say yes to her brother to hire the redhead as her fake girlfriend, would the latter agree to their plan?
I better talk to Aubrey about this again.
Its ten minutes before lunch time and Aubrey reminds Chloe about their lunch with her girlfriend Stacie that day. They've been planning this for a month now but most of the time; Aubrey and Stacie are busy with their work.
"Meet me at the employees parking area okay? Stacie is already on her way there." Aubrey tells her friend "Uhm can I pass? I'm not that hungry and Lily needs some help with—"
"No Chloe, you're coming with me. I already talk to Mr. Neil about this and I'm your boss so you'll do as I say."
The redhead sighs and nods her head "Good, now wait for me at the parking lot."
AT THE RESTAURANT
Stacie saw Aubrey and Chloe went out of her girlfriend's car, she wave at them at the window when the two girls look at her way. She stands up and greeted the two, she hugs the blonde girl and kisses her on the lips and after she pulls Chloe to hug her.
"Finally! I've missed our bonding moments!" Stacie excitedly says when the three of them sits on the chair "Yeah, you two had been busy for the past few weeks."
"Sorry Chloe but don't worry, we'll make it up to you." Aubrey answers the redhead smiles at the two and looks at the menu. She then notices another plate beside her. She looks at the couple who are busy looking on their menus.
"Ah girls…" she says, both of them looks at the redhead "Are you expecting someone else?" Chloe asks and points the plate resting beside her. Stacie looks at her girlfriend who is smiling at her sheepishly.
"You didn't tell her?" Stacie asks "Nope, I told you they hate each other so much that if I told Chloe, she won't come here with me."
Chloe furrows her eyebrows and give her friends a confused look "Who are you referring to?" she asks, for the redhead, she doesn't hate anyone… well except for a certain someone.
"Well B-"Stacie stops talking when she sees their other friend enters the restaurant. She waves at her and the latter waves back and smiles. Aubrey looks at Chloe who is not yet aware that her mortal enemy is joining them.
The redhead then sees on her peripheral vision that someone is standing beside their table and when she look up, she saw Beca looking at her.
"What are you doing here?! Are you following me?" Beca asks the redhead "Following you? FYI, I'm already here before you so technically you're the one following me!" the redhead fires back.
Stacie is smiling from ear to ear, amused and enjoying the reactions of her two friends while Aubrey sighs and sip on her water.
'This is going to be a disaster lunch date.' She whispered.
