Clap! Clap!"Alright, everyone. It's time to go home now. You've all worked hard this entire week,"
Flora addressed the team members who had been fully devoted to their work the entire week.
"It's time huh?"
"I think we can stay for a bit more. We still have more things to do,"
"Yes, how about we work the whole night, it's Sunday tomorrow anyways so we can rest the entire day tomorrow,"
The team members however were not so enthusiastic about leaving work.
There was still a lot of work that was piled up and they needed to complete everything in the limited time that they had.
Hearing the mutterings of the team members Flora couldn't help but feel touched.
She felt very lucky to have such a dedicated team of experts with her who were willing to give their all.
However, seeing this she was even more sure that they needed to go home.
"Nothing doing, I'm going to switch off the power of the office if you all don't leave soon.
Today's Saturday and it's still 5 in the evening. Go and enjoy the rest of your time with your friends, family, get drunk, party, and do whatever you want.
Work is important but so is taking care of your mental health. Come back on Monday and give your utmost at that time if you're so worried about your work,"
Flora stated.
She was the boss so the employees could only agree with her in the end.
Just where would you find a place where the boss would discourage the employees from working overtime? (A/N: I wonder)
That's what they all loved about Flora. While strict and stubborn when it comes to work she was also very thoughtful about those who worked under her.
Flora watched the employees leave and patted them on the back, saying, "Have fun!"
When she was the only one remaining, she went to her office and started working.
As the company owner her work was never finished and she could never afford a rest day.
Time passed slowly.
Aaaah~ Continue your adventure at empire
Flora finally stretched her stiff back and arms after torturing her body for hours.
She looked at the clock as her body relished in the feeling of being stretched.
'It's already midnight huh?' She thought seeing the hands of the clock.
"Looks like I'll be skipping the gym today as well," Flora muttered as she started packing her stuff.
After switching off the lights she left her office.
A while later her figure exited the lift and she was in the parking space.
The cold night air tingled her skin and made her shiver. She increased her pace as she walked towards her car.
She couldn't wait to be inside and turn on the heaters.
A white sedan was waiting for her and she soon entered it.
"It smells really sweaty in here," She frowned as her nose twitched because of the smell when she was seated inside.
She reached towards the air freshener with the intention of spraying it.
However, before she could reach it a hand holding a handkerchief came from behind and covered her nose.
Flora realized that the handkerchief was soaked in some chemical because of the strange smell that had entered her nostrils.
She tried to struggle and attempted to poke the eyes of the man behind her but by the time her hands reached him her body had lost its strength.
She tried to fight this feeling of powerlessness but her body didn't listen to her.
Her eyes dropped and she was on the verge of losing consciousness.
"Sorry for the smell, it's been three days since I last took a bath," A man chuckled.
That was the last thing Flora heard as her eyes closed.
…
Splash!
A cold bucket of water woke Flora up. With eyes filled with confusion, she looked all around her while taking in deep breaths.
The water had been too cold for her and her teeth started clattering.
Her eyes finally cleared and she saw the person who had thrown water on her. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
With an empty bucket in his hand, he was looking at her with snake-like eyes. A smirk appeared on his face soon after.
Flora followed his gaze and looked downwards.
Her white shirt was all drenched and clung close to her body.
"You got some fine assets, lady," The man remarked.
He threw the bucket aside and made his way towards Flora.
Flora tried to move her body only to realize that she was currently tied to a chair.
Fortunately, her mouth wasn't taped so she shouted.
"Who are you?! What do you want?!"
The grin on the man's face intensified when he saw Flora like this.
"Even your voice is enchanting. Just like your breasts," The man knelt down and the next second blatantly started fondling her breasts leaving Flora stunned.
"You!"
"Stop!"
"I'll sue you! You bastard I said stop!"
Flora gave all kinds of warning but the man didn't seem to care.
He enjoyed the expression of helplessness on Flora's face as he felt her breasts with his hand.
"You like it don't you? I can feel your nipples hardening." He remarked with a grin in excitement.
Ptuu!
Flora spat on the man's face the moment he said that.
"Say that to your mom, you filthy bastard!" Flora replied.
Feeling Flora's gooey spit dripping down his face the man's eyes twitched from anger. He snapped.
The next moment a tight slap welcomed Flora's face.
She fell sideways along with the chair to which she was tied because of the momentum the slap carried.
A trace of blood could be seen on her lips as the stinging feeling from the slap made her grimace in pain.
The man wanted to hit her more but his phone started ringing.
Ring Ring
Seeing the name of the caller all signs of anger disappeared from the man's face as he attended the call.
"Is the work finished?" The person on the other side of the phone asked.
"Yes, sir. I've captured her and she's here with me right now," The kidnapper said.
"Good, turn on the loudspeaker," The man said.
"Got it, Sir…it's on now," The kidnapper turned on the loud speaker function.
"Are you regretting what you said to me earlier Miss Flora?" A familiar voice entered her ears.
How could Flora not realize who this person was now that she had heard his voice, "Henry you bastard!"
"It's Mr. Gordon for you. You're as mannerless as your father. Let's see how long you'll be like that," Henry remarked sadistically.
"If you're thinking that doing this would make me give you the patent then you're terribly wrong!" Flora roared in anger.
"The patent? I no longer desire it. You should have just given it to me when I asked for it. Now, even if you beg me to take your patent I won't accept it.
You should have thought twice before insulting me like that a few days ago. Now you will suffer its consequences," Henry voiced out.
Hearing this Flora's worries grew but she maintained a strong front and shouted, "Kill me then! I don't care!"
"I'm afraid that would not be enough to curb my anger. I'll keep you alive and enjoy watching your life turn into a nightmare," Henry replied arrogantly.
"Nightmare? I don't believe you have that ability?" Flora provoked him, She wanted to know about his plans.
"The current minister of Road and Transport, Robert Poterigo, is my brother-in-law.
I've told him that he and his party would receive funds from all the car manufacturers if he banned the electric cars in this country.
Guess what's the first bill that's going to be passed in the parliament session now?
Your project will never become a reality ahaha! All your efforts will become futile the moment that happens!
But that's still not enough to placate my anger. Doby!" Henry finished what he wanted to say and called the kidnapper.
"Yes, sir!" Doby replied.
"Cripple both her legs and leave the country immediately. Your tickets are ready," Henry told Doby.
"I understand sir!" Doby replied while controlling his excitement. The call was soon over and he received a message on his phone.
It was a flight ticket. Doby grinned seeing this. All his worries disappeared when he saw this ticket.
His gaze then turned towards Flora's charming figure that was lying on the ground at the moment.
It was now time to pay Flora back for spitting on his face.
With his flight tickets ready he had nothing to fear. He could do whatever he wanted with her.
