Chapter 4 Not so fast Hailey Baldwin

  • " Why would the Chairman want to see me in the middle of the night?"
  • "I just hope everything is fine," Hailey said as she stood up from her chair, arranging her hair and getting dressed properly.
  • She finally leaves her office and goes to the Chairman's office.
  • The doorbell rings.
  • The doorbell rings.
  • The doorbell rings.
  • Hailey continues to knock as she receives no response; she begins to suspect that Susan is playing with her, but Susan would never do such a thing.
  • Mr Gilbert Jordan, the Chairman and Owner of Explicit Cosmetic Industry, a 58-year-old average-height man, was on the phone when he heard the knock on his office door.
  • "I'll call you back in an hour or so, okay," he says to the person on the phone before hanging up and placing the phone on his desk.
  • "Yes, come in," Mr Gilbert says as the door slowly opens and Hailey walks in.
  • " Mr Gilbert, you sent for me," Hailey says, perplexed as to why the Chairman had sent for her.
  • It was so uncalled for that, despite the fact that the Chairman and her parents were friends, he never once summoned her.
  • Hailey, on the other hand, never went to him; all information from him was passed through Susan, as was all information from the employees; it was completely unnecessary.
  • " I sent for you, Miss Hailey."
  • "Please take a seat," Mr Gilbert says as he motions to the chair in front of him.
  • " Mr Gilbert, is everything all right?" Hailey inquired of the Chairman.
  • "Yes, everything is fine."
  • " Don't worry about it, just relax, okay?" As Hailey sat down, the Chairman emphasized as his gaze traveled around her body.
  • Something was wrong here, with the way the Chairman kept staring at her, she was convinced the old man was up to no good.
  • Mr Gilbert picks up a file and hands it to her; she had no idea, but she was so tense when she collected the file and quickly stood up to leave his office.
  • "Not yet, return," Mr Gilbert said to me.
  • She suspected he was up to no good.
  • "Chairman, is there anything else you would like to tell me?" Hailey posed her question with assurance, but she was secretly terrified—and she had no idea why.
  • "Is everything okay, Miss Hailey? You appear to be rushing, so please take a seat "She was requested as Mr. Gilbert gestured for her to sit down by pointing to the same chair she had been sitting on moments earlier.
  • While the Chairman continued to fixate on her from head to toe, Hailey went back and sat down to wait to hear what he had to say.
  • Does he examine my body? Hailey questioned herself as she made an effort to compose herself
  • " Open the file " the Chairman commanded as quickly she picked up the file from her laps and opened it.
  • After which, she brought out the document which was inside.
  • " You can read right? " He asked again as I felt uncomfortable with his eyes all over me.
  • " Yes sir, I can read " she replied to him Wonder why she would not know how to read, apart from her being scared, she really wanted to know what was written inside the document but certainly not here in his office, but what can she do?
  • " Read it " he commanded and immediately I started reading what was written inside the document.

  • After reading it to the last word, she felt like she was going to loose consciousness, she thought it was a dream because she never expected that she would be promoted, not to talk of been promoted to the Chief Executive Officer, the C.E.O.
  • "Are you done reading the content in the paper? " Mr Gilbert asked, she assumed he saw the change in the expression on her face.
  • " Yes sir, I can not believe this, thank you so much for...... " Hailey couldn't finish up her statement when Mr Gilbert interrupted her.
  • " NOT SO FAST, MISS HAILEY BALDWIN "
  • Hailey frozed at the Chairman order, slowly she raised her face upward and stared at him.
  • " You have to pay the price to get what is actually written down there, you use what you have to get what you want, that's the saying right, Hailey " Mr Gilbert says as he gets up from his chair and moved to the window in his office.
  • " I don't understand you Mr Gilbert, you are speaking in parables, if you don't mind me asking that you go straight to the point " Hailey motioned.
  • Now that feeling of been scared ten minutes ago which she obviously had forgotten, had came back in a thousand folds and totally consumed her.
  • She knew something wasn't right starting from the moment Mr Gilbert asked for her presence in his office.
