Author's point of view... "You are just...too slow to complete it on time?" he snapped and Izzy frowned, she felt as though her ears heard something odd. Slow...! She moped almost ten rooms and two big halls including the stairs. It was equivalent to her school campus back then and here he is calling her, "Slow...!!" Izzy felt like crying, but couldn't shed any tears. Robert sat leaning back on the bed, resting his hands on either side, a slight cunning smile tugging on his lips. Izzy shrank into the corner. He smirked, he was coming right away to what he wanted to say, slowly, cunningly. "Wasn't that hard for you to work restlessly?" he asked breaking the silence. Of course, it was hard..! She was feeling tired as hell, every part of her body ached but she couldn't possibly complain about her work on the very first day, right? Unaware of what he actually meant, Izzy shook her head, "No it wasn't that hard" she said gulping down the words in her mind. Robert narrowed h
Author's point of view... Izzy had always known her life was unpredictable, but nothing could have prepared her for what happened after this fateful night. She thought it was going to be a simple maid's job and she could just disappear into a corner of the huge Erickson mansion but fate had everything decided for her. A conversation with that man, Robert Erickson, the previous night had left her in an unimaginable abyss. He was a dangerous man and he insisted that Izzy would be his personal maid. Being near him 24/7. His words still rang in her mind the whole night. "I want you to be my personal maid. This isn't a request, it's an order. You'll follow me everywhere, 24/7 including my company." Izzy's heart pounded in her chest. The words—no, the command—were daunting. But Robert's intimidating demeanour left no room for refusal. She checked everything online about Erickson Corporation and found how huge the corporation was. At first, she thought Robert might be one of the nor
Author's point of view... Izzy hesitated for a moment before stepping into the elevator. Flashes of that day roamed in her mind making her fluster. The elevator was spacious and air-conditioned, but Izzy found herself hot as a new layer of sweat had formed on her forehead. She tugged herself to a corner, avoiding even his shadow as if he wasn't a human but an opened electricity wire that would burn her alive if touched. Robert raised his eyebrows and stared at her for a few seconds before turning his head away. Though she didn't raise her head to look back at him, she felt his piercing gaze and could sense that a flirtatious smile had tugged on his face. Gulping down the saliva that had formed in her mouth, Izzy stepped further back, almost attaching herself to the elevator wall. Robert noticed her odd behaviour but it didn't make him mad, instead, he chuckled under his breath. She looked exactly like a little wet kitten, shivering and scared to hell. If he wanted to do
Author's point of view... It was a rush hour of the day and the entire Erickson Corporation building was in chaos. Being a special day, everyone was overly active. After all, their big boss who rarely shows was here to sign the year's biggest contract. Running the chores, and discussing matters among themselves, all the employees, from a mere janitor to the top executive, everyone were busy. But inside the VIP conference hall, there was silence. A deadly silence. Though it was filled with many of the elites, to someone looking from outside, that conference room looked empty. No one from them was willing to speak a word. They were even scared to exhale their breaths. Robert stood silent, his eyes narrowed. The CEO was standing when everyone suddenly rose, halting what they were doing and focusing their attention alternately on Robert's distorted face and the ruined contract. Izzy was terrified. For a moment, the room was frozen, the tension thick enough to cut with a knif
Author's point of view... Getting back to the conference room, Robert faced the stunned employees. His eyes burned with controlled fury. He walked back and sat on his chair calmly. Anyone who saw him will never even imagine that he was the same renowned CEO, known for his ruthless demeanour. He exuded the serenity of an ocean before a strong storm. As Robert didn't speak, James crawled towards his legs and begged. "Sir...I..." Cutting his words in the middle, Robert muttered in a calm but cold and menacing voice. "How long have you been working here?" James shivered, he could hardly stutter his answer. "Sir...s...six...six months" Robert raised his brows and shoved his hand into his coat. Everyone in the room was watching him closely, as the eerie quiet made everything seem very unreal. Robert slowly took out something from his coat and everyone, watching eagerly, looked at his hands and couldn't help but tremble slightly. A gun...! Is he going to kill his sec
Author's point of view... After completing the work assigned, Dan stormed out of the conference room, wiping his hands with a tissue only to see the miserable scene ahead. He saw Robert lay unconscious on the floor, his mind swirled in anxiety. "Boss..." he was terrified and ran to Robert immediately. As he reached him, Dan instantly checked his pulse. Though it wasn't anything new, that Robert's men had seen for the first time, given Robert's condition, Robert seldom had attacks and especially Dan was responsible for keeping his boss safe, but this time, it was indeed different. This time it was Dan's first time seeing Robert's face so pale. Dan's hands and feet went numb with fear. "Boss, are you okay?" Dan cried out but Robert didn't respond. He immediately escorted him to the executive hospital that Robert often visits. While in the car, he called Mike and informed him. Mike was devastated. Though shocked, the first thing that struck Mike's mind was that girl. That inno
Author's point of view... The Erickson Corporation was a very busy commercial building, and it was rare for it to be closed even at night. surprisingly, today, it was having a power outage!! That was hard to believe unless it happened on purpose. As if someone has meticulously made this happen to torture Izzy. Mike boarded the first flight to get back as soon as possible. From his experience, that little girl, Izzy, was tricky, and so he didn't let anyone else deal with her. He asked Abraham to lock her up until he returned, and everything else was Abraham's doing. However, for Izzy, everything she was going through was because only because of her boss. She cursed Robert for his cruelty unaware of the fact that he was lying helpless on the hospital bed, still unconscious. As the sun started to dissolve in the horizon, Izzy felt fear engulfing her slowly. She panicked and hit the door a hundred times yet there wasn't any response from behind the door. After almost knocking h
Author's point of view... "Boss, don't worry, This time, We caught her." Mike was excited to let his boss know that the girl couldn't run away this time. Robert's eyes widened in shock. "You caught her?" he exclaimed in utter shock. "That woman who attacked me?" He recalled that mysterious woman who was the reason for everything that had happened, and then those words finally settled in his mind,a nd nd he nodded his head. "Good...Let everything out of her as soon as possible" Robert had a feeling that this wasn't just an accident but a plan to make him suffer. Robert stared at a distance thinking about who could be behind this, as he spoke. He wanted to know who could dare to send someone to his office despite the tight security. "I want those names, Mike", he gritted as he already guessed who that could be, "No matter what..." Mike nodded, his expression serious. "Yes boss, I will get everything out, as soon as possible." Mike said assuringly, "Unlike last time
