*TESSA*

I’m still in the state of intense panic.

Why?

Why am I so out of luck?!

I still can’t believe he’s my new Boss.

I thought about what I had said to him.

Ahh…

Why did I say that?

I should have been nicer with my words.

Would he perhaps fire me for what I said?

No!

I can’t get fired.

I have to take care of my mother and sister.

I have to calm down and think.

I took a few deep calming breaths.

I glanced at the man sitting at the forefront…He introduced himself as Declan Hudson.

When he didn’t look in my direction,I lowered my head and covered half of my face with my long hair.

Right now,all I was praying for was that he wouldn’t notice me.

Every minute and every second was unbearable for me.

I was extremely happy when the meeting finally came to an end.

I sneaked out of the conference hall with the thought that he still didn’t notice me at all.

The first thing I did when I returned to my desk was to tell Audrey everything that had happened.

“You’re joking,right?”

“Do I look like I am?”I asked,agitatedly.

Her eyes widened in shock.”Then you should be happy,girl.You slept with such a smoky hot man.”

“Don’t give me that.I’m very worried that he might try to get back at me and probably fire me.I still have my mother and sister to take care of.I can’t afford to be jobless right now.”

Oh God.

I shouldn’t have gone to the bar to drink.

I wish I could turn back time.

I should have been more cautious about myself.

I shouldn’t have had a one night stand.

I shouldn’t have given him 200 dollars.

And I shouldn’t have insulted him.

Why am I in such a frustrating situation?!

Audrey tapped my shoulder.”Don’t worry too much.Maybe he didn’t notice you at all.”

The manager’s voice suddenly rang out:

“Tessa,Mr Hudson wants you in his office now!”

Oh.

I’m dead!

*********

I shakily knocked on the door of his office.

“Come in.”His deep baritone announced.

Reluctantly,I walked in.

I was nervous as heck.

I can’t believe the man who was on a bathrobe this morning turned out to be my boss.

Life is truly full of surprises.

Too bad…I didn’t like this surprise…I didn’t like it at all.

I stood there quietly while he continued to go through some documents without acknowledging my presence.

Releasing a breath I didn’t know I was holding,I began,”Mr Hudson,you sent for me?“

He lifted up his head and I offered him a cheerful smile.

Maybe he could see me differently…as a nice person that I am.

He stared at me from my head to my toe.

His eyes were dark and cold.

I felt very uncomfortable and tried my best not to tremble like a leaf.

He leaned back on his swivel chair and said,nonchalantly,”I thought the people working for me would be responsible.I didn’t expect to see you here.”

I felt slapped.

Yes…I made a mistake last night but that doesn’t give him the right to think I’m irresponsible.

If there’s one thing I hate…it’s being looked down on.

Before I could think,I replied.”Well,it isn’t professional to talk about our private lives at work,sir but while we’re at it…you really shouldn’t play the judge here.”

The expression on Declan’s face hardened.

Damn it.

I seemed to have made him more furious than before.

I’m definitely getting fired!
