Chapter No 2 Arrogant

It was a very tiring day with her arrogant boss, who was continuously telling her his needs.

“Bring me tea, arrange the files, you have not counted the meeting” she said annoyed. “Whoa Whoa Relax what happened? You seem so annoyed” said Ivan from the other side of the phone.

“Its my boss at the office, he is so annoying, continuously calling me, like I am Cinderella and he is an evil stepmother, sisters, all in one” she said angrily. Ivan laughs on the other side.

“Yeah go on enjoy” she said annoyed. “Daddy, Daddy, I want to talk to aunt Matilda,” said a little girl from the other side. “Hello Azalea, how is my little bunny?” she asked with love.

“I am fine aunt, I miss you, mommy says, you will be back soon but I really miss you” she said sadly from the other side.

“Aww don’t be sad okay tell me what you want I will send you on this Christmas okay?” she asked. “I want a teddy bear and chocolates for the Christmas” she said happily.

“Anything for my little muffin” she said, smiling. Azalea gives the phone to Ivan again.

“Yeah spoiling your niece” he said. “Not as much spoiling as his father used to be” she said chuckled. “Hey!” said Ivan.

“Where is Patricia?” she asked.

“She has gone with my mother for groceries” he said.

Then her phone started showing a call from an unknown number.

“Ivan I will call you later, I got another call, take care” she said and hung up. She picked the other call. “Hello!” she said.

“Hello!” said a very deep voice from the other side.

“Hello who is it?” she asked.

“Prepare the Agreement paper for the brand tonight, I want them on my desk tomorrow” he said from the other side and without hearing her he hung up the phone.

She stared at the Phone “Where did he get my number?” she thought. And then she came into herself. “Agree-ment?” she said, startled.

“The jerk wants the agreement paper within a night. What am I? I am an artificial intelligence?” she said loudly.

It took her five hours to make those papers, and she has been drinking coffee for the whole night. Finally at 4 O Clock she had completed her work. She went to bed.

***************

She went inside the lift. She does not want to be late, she knows he will be more arrogant if she does so. She got out of the lift and walked in a rush towards his room. She knocked on the door but he was not responding, she had the keys to the door Natalie had given her yesterday. She opened the door, but the view in front of her was displeasing. She gasped, her cheeks turned bright pink.

The supermodel of the company was laying on the table while Mr Easton was bending over her. It was definitely a compromising condition. His expressions changed to stone. He got up and folded his arms. Jane also got up and there was anger over her face,

“I am totally fired today” she thought.

“How dare you enter the office without knocking?” said Jane, it was the same girl from the shopping mall. “Easton honey, Isn’t the same girl from the mall? What this bitch is doing here? Manner less, you should not work here, you should be there in the mall with that creep salesgirl” she nastily.

She was clearly bullying her, which brought a lot of bad memories to her.

“Look at her, I think she is older than us, she must have repeated the classes” a voice came inside her mind. “She should not sit with us,” said another voice.

She promised herself that she would not cry and she would defend herself this time, but she did not say a word instead she was staring at the floor.

“I should speak for myself” said a voice inside her. “You poor little creep, you are like your father” said another voice. “Why are you not like a girl?” another same voice. An unconditional tear fell from her eye.

He was staring at her expressionless and was not saying anything. When he saw tears in eyes, he was startled, he thought she would say something, apologize or at least she would defend herself but she was not saying anything. It was like she was not here, she was somewhere else.

“Out now” he said with a cold voice.

She turned to leave when she heard a cold voice again “Not you, you leave now” she turned to look he was telling Jane to leave who stood there in disbelief.

“Me? Why are you sending me out darling?” she asked sugarcoated. His expressions were stone, like poker faces. “Leave” he said in a cold voice. His expressions were dangerously serious. Jane left in fury.

He turned towards his desk. “Do you want to stand there for the whole day?” he snapped. She walked towards her desk and put the document on the table. She put the Agreement over his desk.

“Mr. Easton, agreement is ready” she said in a very low tone. She did not sleep well last night, she was feeling exhausted. He looked at her and said “Drink some coffee”.

She walked towards the kitchen in the same cabin.

She was feeling quite well after drinking coffee. She has to do a lot of work today. She started working, when she heard him “Not that bad” he said in a cold voice. He had gone through the agreement.

“Thank you Mr. Easton” she said softly.

“Wow he is genius; he has gone through the 100 pages agreement within 10 minutes” she thought.

*************

She was upset because of the morning incident. The whole day was a bit quiet, as he was so much less talk- active.

“He is so quiet, why doesn’t he speak much?” she thought.

“Miss Huston! Make me a tea” he said in a deep voice. She got up and after 10 minutes she brought a cup of tea.

“Mr. Easton, I did not know how much sugar you would like to take, so I brought the pot with me” she said while putting the cut on the table.

“Half spoon” he said without looking at her. He was very cold. She added half spoon sugar in his tea, and turned towards her desk. She looked at him from the corner of her eyes. His expressions were unreadable.

“He looks so terrifying, when he does not speak” she thought.

“Do you want to say something Miss Huston?” he said with a cold voice. She had been catching red hands while staring at him.

“Mr. Easton, I want to say that we have a meeting after three day with Freedove and I wanted to remind you” she said confidently.

“Ok,” he said shortly. She was feeling so embarrassed.

“She is clever” he thought while staring at his screen.

**************

She was waiting outside the office building for Uber when she heard something.

She turned and the cat was injured and crying with pain. She runs towards it.

“Oh no poor little creature” she picked it up in her arms and was now patting it.

“I will nurse you, don’t worry” she said worriedly. She walked towards the nearby tree and sat beside it with the cat. The cat was still in pain. She took the handkerchief and tied it around the injured leg of the cat.

“Just hold on for a while, the Uber would be here at anytime” she said worriedly. She checked her phone and the Uber was five minutes away.

*************

He was going home when his mother called him to come, he got inside the car and started it. He was now outside of the parking building when he saw her; she was sitting beside the tree with a cat.

“What is she doing here?” he thought. She looked very worried. Her expressions were so sad.

“What happened to her?” he thought. He was about to get out of the car when he saw a car approaching her. She got up in a rush and took the cat inside the car.

“She took the cat with her?” he thought and then a smirk came over his face.

*****************

She brought it home in a rush and started searching for the first aid kit. She settled the cat on the couch.

“Here, are you feeling well little one?” she asked the cat and she got up.

“You must be hungry, let’s give you some treat” she said and put some milk in a bowl and put the bowl in front of the cat. The cat started drinking. She smiled.

****************

She entered the office when Natalie screamed out her name as she was about to go inside the lift. “Yes Miss Natalie” she said. “These are textile reports, as I have to arrange board meeting so I don’t have time, can you give this Mr. Nathan on the 29 floor room no 7?” she said, exhausted.

“Yeah sure Miss Natalie I will” she said and took the textile reports.

“Thank you Miss Huston,” she smiled softly and got inside the lift.

She pressed 29.

******

She entered room no 7. A man in his 40s was typing something on the laptop.

“Mr. Nathan? Miss Natalie has asked me to give you these textile reports” she said while putting the reports on his desk. He looked up at her. He was peeking at her from head to shoe. She felt very uncomfortable. She turned to leave.

“You are a new employee here?” he said.

She turned again. “Yeah I am new here,” she replied shortly.

He got up from his seat.

“Did you like working here?” he asked in a tone which gave her chills in her spine.

“Yea, yes it is good” she said in a broken voice. He walked towards her, it was so uncomfortable.

“Are you free tonight Miss Huston? I want to give you a welcome treat. You will decide the dinner place” he said in a very dirty tone. She felt insecure and anger rushed in her veins.

“Mr. Nathan, do you give treats to every employee in the company, it seems like you work here as a entertainer” she snapped.

She turned to leave, when he had grabbed her hand “Don’t you dare to speak to me like that, you junior little worker” he said while grabbing her hand even harder.

She was trying hard to push him away. Finally she pushed him away and ran out of the cabin. She was running towards the lift and luckily it had opened.

Without noticing who was inside she got in the lift. She was about to push 34, when a hand pushed the button. She turned to look. It was Mr. Easton. He looked inside her eyes. They were teary.

“Tears,” he thought.

But his expressions did not change. He had good command over his expressions. He saw her coming out of room no 7 when the lift was opened. She was shaking with fear.

She was feeling his chest at her back. She moved ahead to avoid the closeness. His expressions changed and he pushed the floor 29 again much to her horror.

“Why is he pushing the 29 again?” she thought.

“Is he supporting him for what he has done to me?” she came to the conclusion.

“I don’t want to work here, He is taking me to that pig again. What will happen?” she thought afraid, she was even more shaking with fear.

The lift reached 29 again. Unexpectedly he grabbed her arm softly and pulled her with him towards room no 7. She was so terrified that she did not resist.
