~Alyona~ He dragged me from the hallway towards the boardroom; I glanced at Olivia. Without a doubt, she was shivering with fear. I understood I had done something wrong; I was in the boardroom. “What the hell are you doing here?” He roared at me. Is this the way a man should talk to a lady like this? Did I spill the smoothie intentionally? Why is he behaving like that? The way he was pulling my hand hurt me. “I am sorry. It was an accident. I didn’t mean to spill that thing on you.” I lowered my peer. He ignored my petition. “What... are... you .... doing here?” His anger dripped from every expression crossing his eyes, suppressing every syllable coming from his mouth. I backed myself and answered him immediately. “I.. I.” He slammed his palm on the table, making me jump in my place. “I started my job here,” With a pissed-off look, he heaved a heavy breath. “A job? Which department?” He stroked his cheeks with a thumb pad. “Here, I was hired as an assistant.” Without
Alyona finished her training days with dedication and learning. She was happy with the thought of not losing her job on the first day itself after having an encounter with Alexander Hunt. She wished not to see his face again. She thought she would not encounter him as she was going to stay in another building, but life has some other plans. The day came when Esrael was going to drop a bomb on her. He called Olivia and told her about the recent management change. Although it was not management, Alexander himself created all this. He knew Alyona would be his assistant as he was waiting to see the surprise look on her. ~Alyona~ This was the last day of my training, and I somehow felt happy with the thought of an actual working environment. Today, Esrael would shift me under my new boss. He could be from the fashion department or the HR department. I was utterly clueless but excited, as it could be a surprise for me. As I entered the office, I saw something in the air. Everyone gave me
They both had malevolent feelings toward each other. Alyona hated his arrogance and rude attitude, while Alexander wanted to dominate her and show her how much he hated a woman like her who doesn’t work hard but seeks attention. Alexander never saw a caring or nurturing figure in his life. He saw his stepmother throwing him out of her room and caring for his younger brother. The next woman he thought would love her was her teenage love, who left him for another boy. For his whole life, he suffered the hatred of the woman in his life. And today, all that hatred surfaced in his heart whenever he saw the woman who tried to correct him. It was a stupid thing for Alyona, but he took it seriously. As they entered his office, he gave her tons of paperwork. “I want you to update all these figures on the Excel sheet. Second, fix my meetings according to my schedule. And I wanted you to be available in my next meeting to jot down all the points we would discuss with our investors.” Alexander
The following day Alyona made herself ready for the office, but her heart was not happy. People say if you are unhappy with what you are doing, you will make it worse by continuing doing it. Alyona begged for this job, and she regretted her decision the second day when the storm hit her. She wanted to enter the fashion industry, and now she hated it because of Alexander Hunt. When she joined this company, she was excited about this job, but on the first day with Alexander, she realized it would not be easy for her to survive for a long time. Her mom asked her. How was your first day with your boss? With a quiet voice, she answered, “It was ok.” She didn’t want to express anything to her mom, which would hurt her expectations. She tried her best to keep her playful smile in front of her mother. Alyona rushed towards the office. ****** She reached the office by 8:30 AM. She was busy setting up her desk while holding a hot coffee. Suddenly, Alexander came from his office and talke
As decided by Alyona, she would work hard to prove her worth in front of Alexander. But every day, she came with a saddened heart. It’s been seven days since she left early and came late from the office. Her mom observed her, and before she left her alone for the next few months, she wanted to ensure her daughter felt good. The evening came when her mom asked her something. “Alyona, is everything alright, my baby? I know you are hiding something.” Mom’s words echoed poor Alyona. This time Alyona didn’t want to stop herself. How long could she resist this feeling where she was drowning herself day by day? She looked at her mom, and tears draped her vision. “Mom, it’s my boss.” The words came out from Alyona’s throat. Although it was difficult for her to explain everything, she did it in one breath. After listening to her, her mom smiled and said, “Alyona, you have two ways,” mom said. “Ok, but I don’t think, mom, he’s gonna change,” Alyona answered without hope. “The first option
~ALYONA~ Once I reached home, I took a quick shower and prepared myself with a little makeup and a yellow floral dress. I got a call from Ivy to meet her, but then I had to tell her about Oliver’s invitation. She got excited when she heard about Oliver’s relationship with Alexander. “Babe, enjoy.” She answered with excitement. I smiled as I was happy to meet him. I have dated no one; this would be my first time going out with a guy. Although it was not a date, he casually asked me for coffee, and I said yes without thinking. Maybe I needed a break from my hectic schedule. I informed my mom. She seems ok as long as I don’t involve myself in some hanky-panky stuff. But she never forgets to ask about Alexander. “Did he know about it?” I rolled my eyes; what does this have to do with him? “Mom, why do we need his permission? And why does he want to get involved? And why does he care?” “For what I think, he should know you guys are going out. It’s good to have transparency in our
~Alyona~ It made me laugh at my stupid decision, thinking of Oliver as Mr. Right. I changed my dress hastily and plumped on the bed. What were you thinking, Alyona? Did you forget he is your boss’s brother? Alexander would never allow him to talk to me. He seemed restricted with the professional relationship, and today was the first time I heard about Darcy. I never knew this man could love anyone. But there seems to be no difference between his rude girlfriend. I would say she complimented him very well. She’s a proud woman, and he is arrogant. Well, now he knows I was with his brother, and I am sure he would react to this situation. The weather was pretty cold, and being in this old building, what more could I expect? The heater was not working again. I thought to call the maintenance guy, but surely they will come in the morning. ****** The following day when I woke up, I felt an itchy throat and a tired body. No wonder the chilly room without the heater caught me off-guard.
~Alexander~It’s been two hours; she was still unconscious with a slight temperature. I was sitting next to her, holding her hand.Everything felt chaotic to me. What would happen If I didn’t get there on time? Why didn’t she tell me about her health? I cursed myself.I never gave her space to talk. I acted like a ruthless person to her, who always wanted to show my dominance. I hope you can forgive me, Alyona.While I was lost in my thought, my phone started buzzing.I came out of the room and left the door ajar.“Where are you, Alex? I am waiting for you.” Esrael answered from the other side.I told him everything that had happened in the past few hours. He was not ready to accept Oliver could do such things.“I am not sure either. I saw Oliver’s car parked, and I doubt it’s him,”Esrael, a good man, didn’t want to bother me with my brother’s talk. “Do you think we should inform her family?” Esrael answered.“Alyona informed me that her mother went to see her sister, and she was livi
