MAYA
“ Miss Maya, is there something else you'd like to tell me or let me make it easy for you to understand, aren't you forgetting to tell me something? “ Liam asked me with a serious expression on his face.“ Huh? “ I asked out of confusion as to what else he wanted me to ask and he just raised one of his eyebrows giving me a questioning look, then I realized I didn't use the right format to ask him so I immediately corrected myself.“ No! No! No! “ I said, shaking my head vigorously and using a wave of my hand which signifies No to let him know I didn't mean the huh I said.“ I'm sorry I meant to say what else would you want me to say, sir, “ I said after clearing my throat and letting out a breath.“ Is my presence so suffocating that you have to let out breaths when you are with me? If I employ you as my assistant, you would share this office with me. Is this how you would be feeling uncomfortable? “ He asked, obviously annoyed. Why is this man so short-tempered I thought to myself.“ No sir that is not…. “ I wanted to continue talking but he interrupted me with a raise of his hand. This man is so annoying, I mumbled and prayed he wouldn't hear me.“ What did you just say? “ he asked and my eyes widened in surprise. How on earth did he hear what I just mumbled? Okay, now I officially know I'm not getting this job.“ Not…Noti…Nothing sir “ I stuttered finding the right words to use. I was beginning to become pissed off myself, this man was an annoying arrogant asshole.“ Not…Noti…Nothing sir “ he mimicked me and I felt like slapping this stupidity out of him.While he just sat there now smirking and all of a sudden his cold expression came back.“ Leave your phone number and Email with my secretary Henry,you will receive a text or Email about whether you are employed or not. Have a good day Miss Maya Allen “ He said and began to sort out some files on his table when he noticed I was still sitting he motioned for me to leave his office.I left his office with my hands fisted. I went to Henry’s office to leave my phone number and Email. When I got in he saw from the look on my face that all wasn't well.“ How did it go? “ he asked me. I sighed first of all before I told her all that happened and she exhaled.“ You know the boss is always like that, we all adapt to his kind of person don't take it to heart eventually you might get the job okay? So just cheer up and keep your hopes up “ he said to me and I smiled grateful for the words of consolation he just said to me.I left the company building after dropping my Email and phone number with Henry. Since I had no money for transportation I started walking home, it was gonna be a long walk because my house was very far from there.I walked for minutes before a black luxurious car suddenly parked by my side on the road. I couldn't see who was in it because the glass was tinted so I kept walking. Why would a luxurious car stop for me anyway? Maybe the person parked to pick up an urgent call, I thought to myself and began walking again.But this time the car still drove to where I was walking and I heard a car morning at me and turned to see that the glasses were wind down now and it shocked me to see Mr. Liam. He just sat leisurely in the car with one hand on the steering wheel as he eyed me.“ Are you waiting for an invitation? Hop in “ he urged me but I was reluctant because I felt embarrassed for him to see the kind of place I live in and what if him seeing my home would aid him to reject employing me?“ No thank you, my house isn't very far from here “ I lied to him and hoped he'll just carry his troublesome self and drive away.“ I insist, “ he said with finality and I found myself walking to the passenger side of his car, how wouldn't I when the aura emitting from him is domineering and commands respect.I got into his car and fastened my seat belt. He drove us after asking me for the location myself and to my surprise I didn't read any anger or disappointment on his face when I told him, rather I saw a look that I couldn't quite understand but I was sure it wasn't a look of anger or disappointment. Seems like he is in a good mood now I said to myself.“ Do you always form a habit of doing that? “ he asked, now irritated. Shit, I forgot I was in his car and he might hear me.“ I'm sorry sir, I was just… “ I wanted to continue talking but he interrupted me again. This man sure had the habit of interrupting people when speaking.“ Keep the explanations to yourself, “ he said and focused on driving without sparing me any glance. The atmosphere in between us was tense even though the air conditioner in his car was on, I still felt trickles of sweat rolling down my forehead, and I felt claustrophobic luckily for me, he pulled over at the parking space directly in front of my house building.“ Thank you, sir, “ I said to him and smiled but he didn't respond so my smile seized and I went into my house. How am I even supposed to get this job when it's obvious that the boss dislikes me for reasons best known to him because I'm sure I haven't offended him in any way.I went into my room and locked the door behind me. Good, Lucas got the message clear enough this time, I walked to my wardrobe and saw that his clothes weren't there anymore too. He truly left. I exhaled sharply and wanted to begin crying when the pictures of him naked on the bed with Chloe, my best friend, came into my head.Why did they have to betray me this way, It hurt. I cried until there were no tears left in my eyes to cry. The first thing I did after that was shower, then I put on my pajamas and went into my kitchen to take out the leftover food I kept.While eating I spent my time thinking of where I would go tomorrow in search of a job because today's job hunting is canceled. There's no way I'm gonna get that job.Ever since my parents and elder brother died when I was six and I was taken to the orphanage, that was when I began to fend for myself, and when I clocked eighteen I met Chloe, who turned out to be my best friend, she took me out of the orphanage and rented this apartment for me.Who knew she would betray me and have sex with my boyfriend. As for Lucas who is now my ex-boyfriend, I met him two years ago when I was 21 years old.He had nothing so I asked him to move in with me, even though he was exhibiting signs of laziness by letting me take care of our expenses alone I didn't care because I was blinded by love. Now I realize how foolish I have been. I'm done thinking about those two bastards I resolved within me.I have already positioned my mind on places I'll go in search of a job tomorrow. I wanted to strategize more but I fell asleep immediately after my head touched my pillow.**************************The alert tone on my phone was what woke me up in the morning. I lazily got up to check who texted me and found out it was 4 am.I unlocked my phone and all the sleepiness in my eyes cleared due to the fear and shock I was feeling due to the text message that was sent to me.LIAMOn my way out of my company, when I bumped into the lady I helped that night at my bar. I was very surprised as to what she may be doing there.I thought that she would recognize me and thank me for aiding her last night as she looked at me but instead she apologized quickly and hurried instead.I found that behavior rude, I mean why would she see someone who aided her and not acknowledge the person? I struggled not to glare at her. At least this has taught me a lesson not to help any lady in distress.I ignored her and walked to my car driving off to the Silver Grey's clothing and fashion company. I was finally able to convince them and they gave my company back the contract.I got a call from Henry telling me that the applicants for the post of PA were waiting for me in front of my office, so I left the company bidding Silver Grey the Ceo of Grey Textile and design Company farewell.I drove to my company and arrived at exactly 4 pm. I entered the elevator and went straight to m
MAYA“ Dear Miss Maya Allen, this is to inform you that you have been selected and we would love to employ you as the personal assistant to Mr. Liam Taylor. An email has been sent to you, if you still wish to work for our company please sign and report to work by 8 am, where you would be given the hard copy of your employment letter which you would sign and it'll be kept by the company for record purpose “ The message that Cleared all the sleepiness from my eyes read.Was this a prank? Because of everything that transpired yesterday, I could have sworn that I wouldn't be given this job. Well, it's a win-win for me then even though the boss is very hard and cold towards me I’ll be just fine if I do as he says and mind my business.I quickly checked my email and saw it was indeed from their company. I signed and jumped out of bed to check my wardrobe for what I can wear.I felt frustrated when I couldn't get anything palatable to wear. I settled on the dress that the person who helped m
MAYA“ Follow you to where sir? “ I asked him, confused, as to where he wanted us to go. The arrogant man didn't answer me, rather he made his way out of the office and I had to follow him.We got into the elevator together and damn from the minute we stepped into the elevator till we came out of it I was feeling claustrophobic, Liam had a kind of suffocating aura.We got down the elevator and walked to the exit door of the company. Through the corner of my eyes, I could see beautiful models who were passing stop to ogle Liam after which when they saw me following him they began glaring at me and giving me nasty looks.I rolled my eyes at them before finally exiting the company building with Liam. He walked to the car while I followed him closely. Reaching his car he got into the driver's side still without saying a word and I wanted to open the door to the back seat.Not wanting to sit beside him in the front passenger seat, scared that he might chase me to the back seat, telling me t
MAYA“ He always talks about you each time he calls me since he helped you at the bar, he always complains about how you couldn't even thank him now that you have seen him again. But he still made you his Assistant and has even brought you shopping, he hasn't done that for any of his assistants before. You must be special. I think he likes you, “ Eve said chuckling as we walked to the changing room.But when she mentioned him helping me at the bar It was then that it clicked in my mind that Liam was the good person that helped me. It's no wonder that he looked at me that way when I went for the interview.I facepalmed knowing that he must be thinking I'm ungrateful and that I recognized him but feigned ignorance.I quickly ran back to where Liam sat still engrossed with whatever he was doing but when he saw me stop in front of him he lifted his head and for the first time since his amber eyes had been looking at me I recognized that he was the hot guy sitting beside me that day.“ I'm
MAYA“ And how is that your concern? “ A voice from behind asked the blonde lady and when I turned to see who was standing up for me against this blondie, I was surprised to see that it was Liam.We made eye contact and his gaze lingered on my body for a while before he walked forward to stand beside me while he addressed the blondie.“ Lydia is this all you do instead of working? Had it been she is someone from another company bringing a contract deal to me, is this how you would behave? What gave you the right to question a random person in such a rude way? “ Liam asked with a displeased look on his face.Oh, so her name is Lydia, she looked very beautiful with the perfect body and height but the problem was her character from the way she spoke to me. I could already tell she is rude and pompous, I guess that she is a model.The way Liam stood up for me warmed my heart in a way I couldn't explain, he's not a total asshole I guess. But then again from the way he spoke, it seemed he al
LIAM“ You? “ I exclaimed as I looked at the guy who Chloe cheated on me with. I was shocked to see him here and wondered what business he had with Maya.After that day I bumped into Chloe, my ex-fiancee, with this guy that she cheated on me with at the restaurant I wanted to go eat at that night, I became more pissed at myself and It still served as a reminder for me not to let my guard down and fall in love with another woman.“ What's going on here? How do you two know each other “ Maya asked as she looked at us confused.“ I d-dont k-know him “ The guy stuttered while trying to lie. I wasn't surprised because all those close to Chloe only knew how to lie a lot.I didn’t want to go into much detail because I didn’t want her to know about my personal life. So I didn’t answer if I knew him or not. What I was curious about is how she knew someone like him.“ How do you know him? “ I asked her trying to relax my face so it wouldn't prompt her to question me, not like there was a problem
MAYASo Chloe was Liam’s Fiancée!! I can’t believe this. Was there a time when Chloe ever told the truth? Because recently I’ve been discovering that everything about her was all lies.I’ve been fooled by the two important people in my life. I didn’t want to cry as I spoke to Lucas telling him I didn’t wanna have anything to do with him.I wanted to act strong and brave like I always do. I wanted to bury the pains, heartbreak, and betrayal that I felt deep in my heart like I always did, but when Liam told me it was okay to cry, I busted out crying.Surprisingly, he carried me and placed me on the passenger side of his car. I didn’t expect him to do so because he was now my boss, unlike the other times at the bar when we were both strangers to each other.We heard the sound of someone clearing his throat, which made I and Liam look toward the direction that the sound came from. When we did, we saw that it was a courier.He held the shopping bags that Eve said she would deliver to my do
LIAM“ She what?! “ My voice came out in an alarmed way than I intended it to.I couldn’t stop myself from reacting this way because we were already late for the photo shoot and here they were informing me that Lydia just got involved in an accident and won’t be able to make it for the photoshoot.The worst thing is that we were already pulling into the venue where the shoot would be held. I felt frustrated and confused.“ Please take her to the hospital and make sure she gets all the treatments that she needs, “ I said to Lydia’s manager before ending the call.I massaged my forehead because I had a headache coming on. I felt Maya’s gaze on me and I knew she would wanna ask me what happened.Luckily, the driver stopped the car and I alighted immediately. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to her yet, looking at her, she reminded me of Chloe and her betrayal. I couldn’t just fire her because I knew she needed the job.Also, I find what Patricia did on the plane really embarrassing. That nig
