Ophelia's POV

"What?!" Kelly exclaimed as she sat down on the bed. I had just told her that about getting the job.

"Wait, you mean you got the job without any proper interview?" She questioned with surprise. I pursed my lips and nodded my head positively.

"Yes, I did and do you want to know the funniest part of it all? The CEO of the company was none other than that man I met at mom's diner." I said to her. Throughout the time I was there in my new office, I could not think straight as my mind was baffled. Like I really insulted this man, my boss. But he truly deserved it.

"You know I was telling you that day that you should be careful with the way you talk to men. Not all men are like him." She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Stop this. I said he deserved it by the way. Like all he did was sit down there and when I walked up to him, I spoke politely to him but he did not bulge. Instead he got angry and I gave his share of arrogance." I said to her. She shook her head and breathed out.

He asked after a while."Huh? Which guy?" I asked, not getting what he meant."The guy that tried to touch you." He replied.Oh, he is talking about Jeremy. Should I tell him?"He.. Is my ex-boyfriend."

But it goes both ways and I hope it is worth the risk I was taking."Demetrius, where are you going so early?" My mother asked as she sipped her tea. That was one thing she was used to. Waking up early and drinking tea as she watches the sun rise."No where. Just have to make a quick visit to someone." I said and she turned to me fully with a shocked expression."Really? Never knew you to make meetings as early as this." She said with her brows raised and I did not want to tell her about it."Mother, it is nothing to worry about. I will be quick."

Right?He looked at Kelly and I noticed her move uncomfortably on her feet. "Okay, you can leave now. Thank you anyway for the ride. I really appreciate." I said again with a feigned smile that I was not even sure it was there and he nodded his head at me before moving back. Kelly slammed the door shut and glared at me before going to sit down. Just as I was about to utter a word, a knock came again and I groaned out loud. What does he want?I walked towards the door with the aim to speak my mind to him but then I pushed the door open, "I am quite thirsty. I was thinking if you would welcome me insid
