Chapter 36 An Open Challenge.
"Who the fuck does he honestly think he is?!"
Brimming from head to toe with anger, Leonica stormed into her office. Behind her, Kennedy, the giver of bad news followed. Although he made sure to put as much distance between as possible, not wanting to be within reaching range when his boss finally blew the remaining of her fuse.
"Ms. Romero, please calm down." He advised, voice low and tentative in the event that Leonica took actual offense to his suggestion.
And she did.
Shooting a sharp glare at him as soon as she sat down, she questioned. "Why should I? That fucker is obviously challenging me just to get on my nerves." She spat. Kennedy winced at her choice of language, although a grown as man, he still chose to speak in a more subtle manner compared to his boss.
"I understand your anger, Ms. Romero," Closing the small space between himself and the table, Kennedy gently aligned all the documents he had been carrying in his arms ever since stepping into the company this morning, with great hopes that Leonica would actually tend to them. "But once you’ve calmed down, and viewed the situation from a perspective standstill, you’ll realize that Mr. Bryce didn’t in fact do anything wrong."
Leonica glared at him once more, but ignoring, or better yet, choosing not to let the cold, murderous glare get the better of him, the assistant continued. "The position of the president of Norway’s business Chamber is a very sought after one, and even though as of current, that position belongs to you, it does not stop anyone influential enough from challenging you."
Sighing, he folded his hand behind his back and concluded. "This may seem impudent of me, but I must say, from my point of view, it seems to me like this is more of a personal matter rather than a business one."
Leonica’s eyes twitched at his words. She looked up at him, and although the glare on her face had disappeared, she still looked angered by the words of her assistant. Made concrete sense, after all, what type of assistant admitted that her challenger has done nothing wrong.
“Kennedy?”
Hearing his name from her voice which now sounded like she was indeed about to snap at him, the assistant answered with a sigh. “Yes Ms. Romero,”
