2. Little Flower

NICHOLAS POV

"Good morning sir"

"Welcome sir"

"Good morning Mr King" 

"Good morning sir"

It went on like that ever since I step my legs into the company. I didn't answer them, that would just be giving them what they want which I can't. They fear me, which I like, I don't let people take me for granted. They wouldn't do what they are supposed to if I wasn't this way.

I don't tolerate rubbish or stupidity, in this place, I'm known as a cold person, I don't reply to their greetings, you only talk when I ask you to, do the wrong thing then you're off my premisses. 

I made it to my private elevator, pressing the button, I got in as soon as the door open, hitting the button of my floor. I have two interviews today and a meeting at twelve, I better get the fuck ready cause this is already eight o'clock.

I reached my office just to see the cleaner mopping my off at this time of the day. "What the fûck?" I said in shock.

She looks at me in fear, gulping as she sees my facial expressions. "I'm sorry sir, I had an urgent matter-" I didn't let her finish. Who even ask for an explanation.

"No, finish up, get your things and leave my company, your salary will be given to you very soon. I give you five minutes to finish up" I said before walking away. 

I hate stupidity, things like this are the only thing that makes me fire people, lateness. Soon, she came out with red eyes, she gave me a look before walking away, like I care.

I walked into my office, I dropped my brief case and take off my suit, sitting on my leather chair. My assistant came in with a my cup of coffee.

"Good morning sir" she greeted with her eyes down. "Where should I put it sir?" She asked, just the way I like girls, like puppets, pets that waits for instructions.

"Drop it here" I gesture. She did as told.

"Do you need anything else?" She asked. I shake my head. She started to walk away. 

"Get the people that are here for interview" I tell her.

"Sir, the second person isn't here" she told me.

"Do I look like I care?" I asked her, she walks out. Soon, someone knocks. "Come in" I took a sip from my drink.

The door opens as a girl walks in confidently. I chuckled internally, let's see how long that confidence lasts. "Good morning sir" she said. I offer her a seat.

I grab one of the two resumè. "Dawn Hart?" I asked about she nods her head. "Words" I added.

"Yes sir" she replied. Good girl.

Her work experience was good and clean, I like that. 

"What are you good at?" I asked her.

"I'm good at architecture" she states, interesting. 

"How hold are you?" I asked her. She smiles confidently.

"Twenty eight"

"Too old" I state making her face fall. "I only take in people from twenty four to to twenty seven. You could have come one year earlier. We can't have you here, please leave" I said.

"Sir but-" I cut her off.

"If you like, say whatever you want, I'm not gonna give you a job here, now leave" I said. Her face falls as she gets up and start to walk away timidly, I thought it was confident.

I grab my phone and called Jayden, the receptionist. "Where is the second person, Liliana Patrick?" I asked. "She's five minutes late" I said.

"Yes sir, she just walked in now, I'll send her up?" He said. The only person I can tolerate in this place, his cool she does his job right, I consider him a little brother because he's my little brother's best friend.

Six minutes.

Eight minutes.

Ten minutes.

Turns to thirteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes.

Trying to just give one minute more but when I was about to call off the interview, a knock came one the door.

I sigh. "Come in" as soon as I said that, the door swung open and a girl was sent straight to the ground, this is what I hate the most, clumsiness. 

She slowly look around the office till her eyes settle on my desk. She quickly stood up and fix her dress that was slightly raised up, giving me a view of what's under......

She started to work towards me and sat down, that's really disrespectful. I was agitated but I held it in, one little thing could make me snap at her.

I look at her face, she's cute, I won't lie, she looks like the nervous and timid kind of human being, to be honest, this are the kind of girls I want around me, to control, to tame, to tie and spank.

But then again, the little flower named Lily was making me upset and I hate people making me upset. 

"Good morning Sir-" I managed to cut her off before she could go further.

"Did I ask you to seat?" I asked.

She blink a second before processing what I just said, she looks desperate. "Uhh....." She stood up immediately. "I'm sorry" she apologized.

"You came sixteen minutes late, left my door opened, sat on the chair like you own the place" I snarled at her. She looks taking aback.

"I.....I said I was sorry" she look away from me. Oh, she has the audacity to repeat that.

"You are not to talk back till I ask you to. Sit" I ordered. I grab her resumè,  looking at her in an instant. 

I noticed her sweat was trailing down her temple. "You had only one job experience. I can't have you in my company" I said so flat, nonchalantly. 

"Sir, please, I'll do anything, just give me a job, I know my work standard can't be compared to the standard to this company but I need a job -" I cut her off immediately.

"Get out" I said, I don't give jobs to people who hasn't had enough experience, the look on her face was like she was in the verge of dying. Yes, depend on me and only me. She would make a great pet for me. 

She stood up and walk away. Good girl, obedient and shy. I trail my eyes on her body as she started to walk, and her behind, I need to spank those ass till it's red like a tomato.

When she was finally out of my sight, I sigh. Nothing can go right, get me CVs that are good but they keep bringing only disappointment. 

I did some paperwork then my phone rings, Jayden. "What?" I asked.

"She was crying, could you be easy on people?" He asked. She was crying, does she really need this job badly? 

"I don't care" I replied back immediately, do I look like tears could make me give someone a job, I don't need to pity anyone, it seems this job doesn't fit her cause she'll end up crying everyday, but I know what would fit her.

I hang up, I dialed James number. "Yes boss?" He said.

"Get me a background check on a name Liliana Patrick" I said through the phone. "I need it tomorrow" I said before hanging up.

I had a meeting and I forgot due to this stupid girl. Maya didn't come to work today, she was having fever few days ago so I asked her to take a break.

I dialed her number, when she picks I spoke first. "Hey, how are you doing?" I asked as I got up from my chair, walking towards the door. 

"I'm better, by tomorrow, I'll come sir" she said. I sigh, she's just like a little sister that I never had, but I don't think she sees me that way.

"I'll be expecting you then, I just called to check up on you" I said, walking towards the meeting room where everyone was waiting.

"Thank you sir" she states. I hang up and made my way in and everyone stood up but I didn't care less. Let's just get this over with.

******

It was dark when I decided to go home and relax, no one was in the company except the security.

When I made it to the parking lot, I got into my car and drove straight home. My mind trail to that little flower earlier, I want to do so many things to her.

When I made it to my gate, the two securities dressed in suit, glasses and had a walkie talkie, they open the gate and I slowly drove in, driving deep in, this house holds my deepest secret that I'm willing to share with one person and I haven't gotten anyone that is ideal, except her.

NEXT MORNING

The most stupidest thing happens......let me just reverse back a little. After I woke this morning, I took a bath, dressed up in my black suit and shoe, I put on some cologne, grabbing my brief case and left, I had called my driver, Eric to come over cause I had no strength to drive.

"Good morning sir" he greeted, I nod in greeting. I got into the opened car and he closed the door, he walked towards the driver's side and started the engine before driving off.

I look outside my window, the fresh air blowing on my face, I haven't been eating lately and my mom won't be happy about that. 

But then again, my eyes landed on a particular person I didn't want to see. "Eric, park the car" I state, he did as told without any objections.

I look at the little flower as she was seated on a stone, selling...... clothes? It looks like her clothes. 

"Huh?" I snarled. I didn't stop looking at how she managed to sell all those old shit called clothes. Who are you and what do you want? When she was done, she grab her bag and started walking off with the little amount she made.

I noticed she was wearing yesterday's dress. I told my driver to move and he started the car. That's the most stupidest thing. 

She sold what could keep people's eyes from her. But then, she had nothing from what it looks like, I'm sure she has nowhere to go to. 

We reached the office soon, as usual, everyone starts to greet and as usual, I ignore them all. I don't have time for shity people. I nod to Jayden who smiled back, sometimes I feel like he likes my lil brother.

I got into the elevator and went straight to my floor, the door ding open, casually walking towards my office door, I opened it to see that it was clean, looks like the former cleaner was no more.

I walk to my desk and plop down, I close my eyes for a second just trying to have a peaceful time, that girl was that stupid to sell her-.

Knock.

Knock.

"Come the fuck in" I groan, the door swing open and James rushed in.

"Boss, about this girl..... when did you meet her?" He raised a brow.

"Have you done it or not?" I asked tiredly, I could just fire this idiot but he's of good help here.

"Yeah" he cleared his throat and holding his iPad to his face. "Liliana Flora Patrick. Age, twenty one. Her parents died three years ago, she came from a poor family who managed to get her into school, she has no siblings, was previously living in a newly married couples house, the lady seems to be her ex colleague. She was kicked out and had to find a job, she's staying at Franklin motel. Liliana is a shy, timid, naive and obedient girl, respectful and trustworthy, according to her school record. She had no friends, was bullied in school. She's a very kind and absentminded person, she has the personality of a ten years old, she's a......virgin." he reads.

"Good job" I tell him. "Print that down for me" I added. "Find out if Maya checked in, let her know I want to see her" I finish up. He nods.

"Yes sir" he said before walking off. I sigh. Liliana, what am I gonna do with you. 

Soon, someone knocked before barging in, she smiles and I sigh. "Maya, I've warned you to wait for my reply before entering my office" I said softly.

"I'm sorry.....what's the problem sir?" She asked as she sat down. I grab Liliana's resumè and handed it to her.

"Call this number and tell the girl that I want to see her tomorrow evening at Queens restaurant, send her the location" she looks a little bit upset bit I'm not gonna give her that attention.

Liliana, this is were our journey starts, and I'm not stopping it anytime soon.
