Chapter 1

Everywhere Was Silent, So quiet that if a pin were to drop, It Would Echo throughout the whole Company

Why was Everywhere Quiet? Why won't it be when CARL GONZALEZ had Arrived, Everyone was on their best behaviours so as not to annoy the CEO in the slightest bit

Carl's Shoe was seen through the door and Every employee held their breath as they watched him enter, His Face Emotionless, The aura emitting from him Cold, The only movement in his face was his mouth as he chew on Gum.

One of Carl Favorite thing was to keep his mouth busy, he was so much in love with Gum that it was everywhere, in his office, In his Mansion, in his bedroom even in his bathroom

Behind Him were his bodyguards who were sure to stay at least 10 feet's away from him, Yeah one more thing, He hated Physical Contact from both Men and Women

He began to walk and unfortunately a Woman was unlucky as her phone began to blare out, Carl would have ignored it but when he heard the ringing tine, he stopped

*Baby I'm Dancing in the dark*

*With you between my arms*

His Face scrunch up in disgust, he turns only to see the woman fidgeting as she tries to turn off the phone but seems Nature was against her

He walks to her, The woman who felt his presence immediately went on her knees

"I'm so Sorry,.it was the doctor....." The woman hadn't even completed her words when Carl Mutters

"You're Fired" He says, he was a man of few words, rarely talked, rarely show his emotions

"Sir please...I really need this salary, my Dad is gravely ill and I need money to pay for his surgery" The woman cried while Others watched in pity, Carl looks at her waiting for her to finish her ranting

"I didn't ask your dad to fall sick or be at the point of death, Maybe it happened to teach you a lesson, He can die for all I care, Pack your stuff and Leave my Company" Carl says and breathes out in anger, he hated the fact that the woman made him speak too much words

The Woman fell silent knowing Once the CEO says something, he means it, She slowly stood up and ran out of the company not even bothering to pack her stuff

"What a Nuisance" Carl breathes out and turns to continue his journey to his office, he stops and looks around, All Employees who were looking at him bowed their heads immediately, cowering in fear

He continues his Journey and enters his Private Elevator,an Elevator meant for him alone, He alone entered while his guards who were outside the elevator bowed waiting for the elevator door to close, The elevator door closes and soon it began to move, Carl rested on the small railing in the elevator looking bored

It Finally got to the 13th Floor and he steps out and began walking to his office door, His name was plastered on the door in Huge Gold letters

He Enters, hangs his jacket and went to his office swivel chair, Sitting on it and loosening his tie before breathing out

Mia served the Delightful woman her Latte, smiling at her before walking away from the table to the counter

"Gosh...I'm so tired" Mia said her English in a Spanish accent which sounded really attractive

Ben, her co-worker looks at her and pats her head, his eyes had a warm comforting look as he looked at her

"You've done Good" Ben says before his eyes went back to the screen, he had a look of seriousness as he did what he was doing which was to calculate the amount of money they earned each day and give account of it to the Manager

"Your shift will be ending soon, when's your boyfriend coming?" Mia asks Ben, Yeah Ben was Gay, he likes Men, he only saw Mia as a little sister since he was 2 years older

"Shane said he's gonna come pick me up by 5-ish" Ben says, his eyes not wavering from the Computer

Mia nods her head looking extremely bored

Carl eyes were focused on his laptop when someone barges in, he didn't bother to look up since he already knew who Barged In, the only person who could talk to him without fear, His Best Friend Lucas.

They had been best friend since young, Lucas family took him in after his father's death but he had told them he didn't want to leach off their money but make hus,. Although they listened, the still tried to do little things for him, in which he appreciated

"Aren't you gonna take a break?" Lucas asks going to Cark and wrapping his hand around Carl from behind, Carl flinches and Lucas immediately remembers that Carl hates Physical touch

"Oh Sorry" He says moving away, Carl glared at him but didn't say a word

"Let's go get some cake and Coffee.. You're gonna need it since you're gonna be here all night" Lucas says the obvious

"Only for 30 Minutes" Carl says and saved his work before standing and leading the way, Lucas made faces behind him

"If you know you wanna keep that right eye of yours, you'll stop making faces behind me" Carl says and tries to control his anger knowing he said more than a few words

***

Lucas opens the door dramatically for Cark when they got to the coffee place which was coincidentally where Mia worked

They both entered and sat at a table, Carl eyes scrunch up in disgust seeing how poor the place looked, it was fancy but to Carl eyes, it was dirty

"Don't make that face... Their coffee is good" Lucas says seeing the face Carl was making

Mia spots them and began walking to them with her small jotter in her hand, she got to them and put on a smile

"Hello There...Welcome To Grand Coffee, What can I get you gentlemen today?" Mia asks

Carl was busy doing whatever on his phone but when he heard Mia's voice, his ears perked up and slowly he looked up, His eyes caught her face and immediately Something burned in him

"Mi Belle" He whispers, His eyes becoming Dark
