8. Slap For A Slap

I didn't know my life could be more worst than it already was until I started working for Andrew.

He gave me piles and piles to check like I was a robot who would do everything without a stop. Even at lunchtime, I have to sit here and keep on doing work. 

Not only this, he would drag me to every meeting even if he was going to meet some girl who has been disturbing him, he would want me to accompany him because he wanted me to annoy them. 

It has been hell, whole last week. But today I asked that idiot to do some work himself cause I was going to the hospital for my mother's treatment.

*********

"Ma'am to whom do you want to meet?" I looked up to see Emma asking a beautiful lady. Her long blond hair was opened and her red dress was fitting her perfectly.

"I wanna see Andrew." She said in a high-pitched voice.

"I'm sorry but you can't see him now, he is busy," Emma said but the girl ignored her as she walked near his room.

I fastly walked toward her and tried to stop that girl.

"Ma'am you can't go in there, sir is busy," I emphasized on word 'busy'.

"Move away from my way, I want to see myself how much work he got to do." Why was she being so stubborn? I stood where I was and my hands were opened looking like I was trying to fly. Funny but it wasn't time to smile.

"What are you smiling at bitch, move away." She tried to push me but, oh she was too girly to even make me move from my place.

"Don't you dare to touch me, and just back away already. How many times do I have to tell you that...." I stared at her shocked face.

"He. Is. Busy." Look like I made her mad, her nose flared in anger while her face was red.  she was resembling an angry bird.

"How dare you talk with me like this?" 

"Oh, why? You hurt? Don't cry like a baby. Just go." Yeah, I was getting furious. Couldn't she understand one thing properly? 

Everyone was looking like I had grown two heads but it wasn't gonna affect me, this crazy girl needed to understand what I was saying and leave right away.

"How-" She slapped hard across my face, was I shocked? Nah, saw that coming. A girl like her could only do this as she didn't know how to use her useless tongue. 

"What's going on here." Andrew walked out of his office and stood behind me. I moved to the right side and the girl smiled sweetly pretending nothing happened.

"I wanna meet you but they weren't letting me in, saying you're busy." She walked near him and was about to hug him when he moved away.

"I was, why do you wanna meet me anyway?" His face was void of any emotion just like his voice.

"Come on-" She was cut short when Andrew said.

"Where are you going, Alyssa." I didn't turn to face him because it wouldn't be good if he saw the red print of a hand on my face.

"I have work to do sir," I told him while my back was still facing him.

"Turn around and talk to me face to face." Umm, why did he sound angry? 

With my head low, I turned around. My red strands were hiding half of my face which was just as red as my hair.

"What happened to you?" He gripped my jaw and made me look at him. He was looking concerned, why? Slowly he removed the strands and tucked them behind my ear. This felt like a scene from some romantic novel but this wasn't time to be romantic. God, I just wanted to hide somewhere.

"Tell me the truth." He ordered.

"What are you doing Andrew? Why do you care for some low life-like-" 

"I'm not talking to you, Rose." His voice was dangerous, why was he acting like this?

"S-she slapped me." I was too afraid to say something else, dude he was scary.

"Liar, I didn't...you..." Before she could even touch me, the male in front of me turned around and caught her hand.

"What do you think you are doing?" He asked in a low dangerous voice. Afraid, she didn't say anything until the male pulled me near and asked me to slap that girl.

Could I say no? Of course, not didn't wanna die so I did smack her face but lightly. She was a drama queen though as she fell on the ground.

Everyone was too shocked to say or do anything. Like what the hell just happened? Slap for a slap, huh?

"Y-you made your PA hit me, your soon-to-be-fiancé." What could I say now? She was being so arrogant and all oh-I'm-the-great because she thought that Andrew gonna be engaged with her.

'Who gonna tell her I'm his wife already?'

"I have told you thousands of times that you're not gonna be anything to me. Fix this useless brain of yours." His voice was loud, I felt like the whole building was trembling in fear, but maybe that was because everyone was flinching away seeing he was furious.

Finally, she went away while stomping her feet as with Andrew's one look everybody was back to work.

The boss dragged me to his room, while I didn't know what to say. What would others think about this accident?

"Why would you do that? Do you even know what others will think? What Mmmmm." I couldn't say anything as the idiot male had kept a hand on my mouth.

"First, I'm a person of my words. I will never break a promise and second, it wasn't entirely because of you. She was a big nuisance." He said as he moved away from me to sit on his chair.

"Promise? Did we make a promise that if someone would beat me you will do the same or will make me do the same?" Furrowing the brows I looked at him.

"As per rule number 105...wait you don't remember the rules?"

"You don't expect me to memorize all two hundred and fifty rules." I was nervous, did he think that I would learn every one of them?

"It wasn't necessary anyway, so the rule was that we will help each other and will never let anyone hurt any one of us." Wasn't he too caring? No, because Noah told me that he was the one who kept all these rules.

Every day was showing me a different side of this guy and many different things were entering my life making my life more hard, difficult.

'But is it just the starting? Donno let's just wish for good.'
