72 72. The Dick-Licker

Paula was stunned. She couldn’t believe that her father would fall for that woman’s trap again.

“Liar! He will never forgive you!” Paula gritted her teeth. “You betrayed his trust.”

The middle-aged woman’s laughter was so loud, making Paula even more annoyed. She bit her lower lip and said, “It must be something else. You tricked him! Or something like that.”

Paula’s mom turned on her video. Paula hesitantly accepted it. That’s when she saw his father’s half-naked muscular body on the bed.

“Do you believe it, baby? He is in my bed.” The sight on the video turned into a beautiful woman with tousled dark hair. A familiar face for Paula. The face that she tried to forget but she couldn’t. The face that destroyed her happy childhood life.

“You shameless woman! How can you do this to him? You already hurt him enough,” Paula snapped, forgetting the reason why she made the call to her dad.

“Baby girl, don’t stress yourself with unnecessary things. You can call him again later. Bye!” That woman ended the call immediately, leaving Paula on a rampage.

Paula’s energy was drained to rock bottom. She was about to curse but again, she remembered her little bun. She calmed herself once realized that anger was not good for the baby.

She closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. Exhaled slowly. She inhaled again. Then exhaled again.

.....

After gaining more focus, she then reached for her laptop again to send everything to Robert. She tried to brush things that had just happened. She had a big thing to do. She didn’t need more problems.

Paula hated the fact that she finally did what that shameless woman told her. She grinned bitterly before finally managing to send a sacred email to her father. She could not call her dad again. At least, he would check the email later.
That time, she thought that nobody would help but herself. She had to make her own decision. She never knew that this would be so hard to do.

When she recalled that she had to eat breakfast, that’s when she realized that the cereal in the bowl was already too soggy. Then, she replaced it with a new one, and eat her breakfast quietly. She didn’t pay attention to what she ate. Her mind was wandering around, thinking about how to deal with the new fact-the bitter truth.

Later, in the office, Paula did nothing. She was weighing several plans. Which one is the best, and which one would not bring too much damage to the working environment? As little as possible.

Paula gritted her teeth. The information she received this morning told her that the new concept was leaked but the design was not since the team didn’t finalize the design yet.

“Okay, everyone! Please hand in all of your projects to me!” Freya started the meeting that morning.

Everyone on the design team looked enthusiastic but Paula. However, not long after, Misa and Himawari were in panic.

“Where is my tablet?” Misa said. “I kept my project there.”

“Me too!” Himawari exclaimed. “I remembered I didn’t take the tablet out of my purse.”

“What?” Freya frantically shouted at her subordinate. “How could you lose your projects? Find them as soon as possible!”

Misa and Himawari dismissed and went outside, looking for their tablets everywhere. They had no clue where they lost their precious items. They even made an announcement, informing everyone in the entire building that they had lost their tablets.

“How about you, Eva? Where’s your work?” Freya ordered Paula to show her the tablet. However, Paula didn’t give her any response but a sharp glare.

“How about you, Freya? Show me your work first and I will show you mine!” Paula said, grinning lightly.

Freya’s face turned pale. Her mouth gaped, wanting to say something in reply but no words came out.

“Look! I don’t want to start anything but please show me your work, my dear leader!” Paula said nonchalantly. Her face showed no emotion but disappointment. “Where. Is. Your. Work.”

“How dare you, b-”

“Ssshhh, no cursing in the office. Especially in front of me,” Paula said, putting her finger on her mouth. She stood up, walking back and forth and staring at Freya with a firm expression. “That is a big no!”


Freya was in a panic. “Don’t order me around!”

“I don’t. I am just asking you to show me your work first and I will show you mine. What’s wrong with that?” Paula sneered, putting her hands on the table. She wanted to hit the table but she knew that she would hurt her hands. Not a good choice to show anger.

With a trembling voice, Freya argued, “I am the team leader! You have to show me your work first.”

Paula giggled sourly. “What? Team leader? Do you even remember your job description as a team leader in this company?”

“Who are you to judge me?” Freya raised her voice. Her heart burned in anger, as well as her face. “Of course, I know what I have to do as a leader.”

“This company clearly states that a design team leader should also maintain subordinates’ motivation by showing her or his work first before everyone else. The company doubled your salary for good reason.”

“How do you know it?” Freya wondered how a newcomer like Eva Morgan knew about something that only Kato and the HRD staff know.

Paula shook her head. “Look! Your team was the worst team I have ever seen because you, the team leader, could only order them around and rarely showed your work.”

Freya’s face turned red out of anger. She exclaimed, “Stop judging or I will report this to the president!”

Paula laughed out loud. “Judging? Freya, you are the worst. What I have done to you can’t even be compared to your sin. You were the one who stole Ken’s idea of Winter Sakura and bragged to your boss that you have done the coolest concept ever, no?”

Freya’s eyes widened. Her body was shaking uncontrollably. “H-how did you-”

“Sadly, Freya .... You are good for nothing but dick-licking your boss to keep your position. But don’t worry! It will not happen again because your new boss has no dick.”
