After about 15 minutes I had finished arranging the papers on the desk and I was ready to start reading them.

I was still very scared believe me, because this was very unusual. I was thinking he probably would hand me my resignation letter after all of this.

"Proceed", he said

I cleared my throat and picked up the first one.

"Dear Mr Grumpy...", oh shit this was the name I gave him, oh shitt.

I didn't even look him in the face, I continued.

"A little thank you after an extra effort job would really go a long way".

I picked the next one

"Personally I think you're a good boss, everything here is working well because of you but we don't get the appreciation we deserve, especially the Engineers running this place ".

"Hi Mr Greenwood, whatever the anonymous letter said was true, please work on your character else you're never going to get an assistant that will last a week in this place ".

Yup, that definitely sounded like Vera. Definitely.

I kept going on and on and on

Everything everyone talked about was Mr Greenwood improving on his Employer - Employee relationship. He was quiet all through it, he didn't utter a word...

About 30 minutes later, I was done and I was still scared of looking at him.

I finally gathered courage to and lifted up my eyes and he was staring at me.

Now hear me out it's not that usual look, its how he looked at me that night! That lust that hunger that... holy fuck what is happening.

I cleared my throat, "All done", I said.

He suddenly snapped out of whatever that was and straightened up.

I'm guessing he didn't hear shit I said.

"Okay, thank you Michelle, you can leave now", he said.

I nodded and left.

This was a hot 20 seconds.

I went straight to Miriam's office.

They almost jumped on me when I came in.

"What happened?"

"Did he fire you?.

They asked in union.

I shook my head.

"I think he's under a spell", I whispered.

They looked confused, "How?".

"He asked me to read all of them to him, all the reviews, everything ", I said.

"And he didn't tell you to get out afterwards?", Vera asked more shocked than I was.

"No, he asked me to leave, like, he's done go on ".

"Holy shit, I think our boss has gone Crazy again ", Miriam said.

"Again?", I asked confused.

She sighed,"Have a seat Michelle, let's tell you a little story".

"You know no one has ever like, told Mr Greenwood how he acts before, no one has , ever, and not because we're scared of him, I mean well yeah we are but, there is a specific reason ".

"Before now, he was the sweetest boss ever, especially when his Dad became old and he took up the company. Greenwood's Auto mobile was the biggest in the area. I mean best, like people will kill to work here, plus the huge pay check, it was good.", Vera said.

"But then he lost his Wife and son".

I paused, Shocked!

"He was married?".

"To the love of his life, they have been dating since highschool days, they got married pretty early, after she got pregnant. They were in love so they just tied the knot.

I think he was like 25 when they got married, he was the youngest Millionaire in the country that time. So on their sons 1 year birthday, they decided to go on a boat cruise. He had some work stuff to do that day so he couldn't join them that day, but he promised them he'll meet them the next day. Something happened and the boat sank and both she and his child died. He couldn't forgive himself. He kept on saying it was his fault for now being there. Do you know the craziest thing about it all? he never mourned them.

He didn't even attend the funeral. The next Monday he was already back to work acting as if he didn't just loose two people that meant the world to him. But everybody knew he was hurting, badly. She was the only woman he could bring himself to love. He started isolating, not talking too much, he stopped talking in general. Started using eye contact to talk and because arrogant and rude about everything.

We just came up with the assumption that he's still holding in a lot inside so it's the only way he can cope ".

I'm a monster, a horrible terrible monster.

"Why didn't you tell me all of this before now?", I asked almost in tears.

"We didn't want to just... talk about it ".

"Vera I feel like a monster, a very horrible monster, I mean, oh my God he's grieving, he's grieving so bad and.. and... how long has this been?".

"Two months ago made it give years I guess, cuz I started working in this company a month before it happened ", Vera said.

I sat on the chair.

"We've been unfair to him", I said so sad.

"Indeed, we get it we really do, but sometimes it could be out of hands and we just do what employees do, but no one would ever say it to his face, we could never, trust me I think he's not going to fire you. I think he needed to hear it, it's more like a reality check in. "

"So then what of his girlfriend, Veronica?", I asked.

Vera rolled he eyes.

"She's not his girlfriend, side chick I think, or sex partner or something. Her daddy has money and she's obsessed with Mr Greenwood, she's such a desperate girl, I've never seen someone be such a pick me".

Ohh.. make sense.

"Well, I have to get back to work, we'll see you around Michelle ", Miriam said.

We said our goodbyes and I headed back to my office.

Mr Greenwood was on his table going through the reviews, he looked so invested in it.

Like he was really willing to change after loosing two people that he loved and didn't mourn them.

I should really get my shit together and do my job, I'm beginning to forget what brought me here in the first place.

    I've been sick for the past seven days now and so I've been unable to come to work.I sent an email to Mr Greenwood but he didn't respond, so I'm guessing he saw it and chose to ignore it or he saw it or he did and he ignored it.Miriam came to see me on the third day with Vera, I asked her if she communicated my Illness with him and she confirmed that she did.Well he didn't just care I guess.On the 7th day, I went to the hospital to do a proper check up and I was asked to do a pregnancy test.I was a bit shocked because the thought of being pregnant never really came to my head. I mean the last time I had raw sex was with Mr Greenwood and I took pills the very next morning.But anyways I did get the pregnancy test tube and I used the urine method to run the test and dropped it on the center table and totally forgot about it.I had a long nap and then I was woken up by my door bell ringing.I checked the time and it was few minutes past 8pm.

Oh my gosh Michie you're so crazy", my sister said laughing at me."No it happened before I started working for him, remember when I found Alex cheating on me with Tasha, I got drunk and we kinda fucked,but I thought it was all this one time thing. Then I saw him in the office and I was so shocked to my panties, and he acted like he didn't even know me"."Was he supposed to hug you and be like, "Hi one night standie", she joked."No but he literally ignored me and treated me really harshly and stuff. And I took post pills but I don't know how I'm still pregnant "."You're probably pretty fertile".I groaned."So what are you going to do? keep the baby?"."I don't know Rosie, I don't know. I can't.

    "YOU'RE FUCKING MY BEST FRIEND ON OUR WEDDING DAY!", I screamed immediately I opened the door. They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at me. My hands were shaking; Shock! I was in deep shock. I covered my mouth with my hands and stared at them, I opened my mouth to speak but the words, they refused to come out. "B...baby it's not what it looks like", he said in a whisper. "Not what it looks like? you're fucking my best friend on our wedding day? whattt????!", I screamed and crashed on the floor holding my wedding dress and trying to pull myself together. My world was spinning, my entire world was spinning. "This is... this is why you didn't show up? this is.. this is it?", I felt tears running down my eyes. Tasha rolled her eyes, "Geez, attitude", she said so casually like I didn't just walk in on her having sex with my fiance. "What do you mean Tasha? like you're not even remorseful -" "Remorseful for what? you've caught me, oh no", she said sarcas

    By the time I woke up, my head was banging. The floor area my head was resting on was wet and I assumed it was my tears. I sat up slowly, my face was swollen and I could feel it. I got up slowly and got to my bathroom and turned on the light, I stared at my reflection on the mirror, I looked like a ball. My eyes on were puffy and red and my cheeks were swollen, I looked a mess. I sighed as memories of earlier flooded my head. At this point I don't think I can cry any longer. It's already done. I stared at my wedding dress, oh how I dreamt of this day to come, it's my biggest nightmare. And what pains me the most was that she was right, I would still go back to Alex if he knocks on my door and apologize, I will still love him because for some reasons I always believed he will change; that I could change him. Obsession was cruel. And right now, I just want you drink and sing and dance in a loud club and pass out on a couch there and wake up tomorrow morning and find out t

    Immediately the door shut close behind me, he pinned me to the door and crashed his lips on mine kissing me hungrily and I kissed him back with the same energy. His hands found it's way to the hem of my dress and in seconds it was flying across the room. His hands reached to my bra and unhooked it, immediately it went off he cupped my breast grabbing it softly. All this things happened in seconds. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his torso, and he walked me over to the bed and laid me there. He broke the kiss finally and started trailing soft kisses from my ear to my neck; leaving very visible hickeys as he went. He sucked the skin above my breasts and then grabbed them firmly in his arms and put them in his mouth. He started off softly and gently and then he started getting rough. Rubbing my nipples in a particular pace, getting faster and faster while using his other hands to hold my second breasts firmly in his mouth while he sucked them. I was moaning, loudly. It

    I was having this terrible headache when I woke up and it wasn't from crying like last time, it was me being hungover. Damn it. I could barely open my eyes without having this burning Sensation in it I finally did and I found myself in a strange environment, this wasn't my room. I held my head in pain and very confused and in a flash everything that happened yesterday played on my head like a movie. "Holy shit", I cursed loudly. I had sex with a random man?? We didn't even use condoms, oh my gosh what If I get an infection, or worse pregnant! I managed to get up and walked into the bathroom, I stared at myself on the mirror and almost screamed. I looked like I wrestled with a bear last night, my hair was scattered and I looked like shit I splashed water on my face for some minutes and poured some on my hair to cool down the burning Sensation. I guess that kinda worked a bit . I cleaned my face with a towel and then went back to the room. It was empty, he just

    It's been One month, a week and 4 days since Alex abandoned me on our wedding day. I moved to New York the next week with the little money I made from work and then the money the alluring stranger left for me that night. Do I think about Alex? every day, every minute. Do I want him to come back to me and apologize? yes I do. But will I reach out to him first? no never. Usually I was always the one coming back, begging him to forgive me after he cheated and I got mad. Or after he would hit me and say that I was the one provoking him into anger. I would apologize for everything he did wrong. I guess I was just attracted to toxic, but not anymore. Today was my first day at work at my new office. When I went back to my old work at Los Angeles to drop my resignation letter, everyone at work was looking at me with pity. It was sad to hear that my fiance has been cheating on me with my best friend. They just kept on with the pity looks and stares and I'm grateful for not go

    Ever since we got back from Dubai, Mr Greenwood has been acting like a FUCKEN ASSHOLE!! Sorry, let me rephrase that, language.. He's been acting like a CUNT! Now I see why everyone talks about it! I feel like I was on does free trail periods, cuz I see it now! I work extra hours everyday, and trust me I'm not paid for that, I do it cuz I want to meet up with his work pace and this man doesn't even give a shit, no thank you, no compliment, nothing. He still complains about works that I do perfectly fine. He's sassy, very Sassy. And he doesn't even talk, he expects me to understand eye languages, cuz wtf I'm asking him about something and all he does is give me a long stare and then goes back to what he's doing and ignores me completely. I got my salary today so I sent everything to My sister for her medications, including my wardrobe allowance. I came to work with the appropriate uniform and he something about me looking like a Starbucks employee, so literally!!!! Starbucks?

    Money was power; that's something I learned tonight from Mr. Greenwood. In less than 15 minutes, we got ourselves a first-class suit in the same place that they claimed was full. They had that place booked for some other person who hadn't even arrived yet. Mr Greenwood didn't even want to get involved with all of that, he just wanted to get some sleep. He just picked a room, went into it, and shut the door behind. I sighed, I had to do the arrangement of things before the big day tomorrow. I got the room service to get Me a strong black coffee, it was going to be a long night. I started making calls, getting things in place, and ensuring that the new race car had been shipped in successfully and was in place. It wasn't only our car that was launching, there were three other companies too, so it was more like a joint launch, but we have to make ours exceptional, that was what Mr Greenwood said. Around 4 am, Mr Greenwood's door opened, and our eyes met immediately; he look

    The city was beautiful, especially at night. It was calm and quiet and very breezy. We pulled up in front of a hotel and there were people standing there ready to welcome us. "Sir, we have a little problem", one of the men said. "What is it?" "This hotel is fully booked and they're asking us to move to the other one down the street". "I don't want to go to a hotel down the street", Mr. Greenwood said. "I know sir, but-" He rolled his eyes and headed inside the hotel. He went straight to the receptionist. "Caleb Greenwood, I'm in the VIP list ", he said. "Oh I'm so sorry Mr Greenwood, I already told them about the situation, we received your message for a VIP suit but they're all fully booked, we only have regular suits, maybe you can stay there until tomorrow then we can get you a-" "Where's your manager", he said cutting him off immediately. "Sir he's just going to tell you the same thing", the receptionist said. "Get me your manager", he said as if he was try
