Chapter 1: The Big Spill

Sabrina's POVWhat a f*cking a**hole.I've always wondered why men think they can treat women as if they're housewives from the nineteen fifties, who only possess the ability to wait on their husbands' hand and foot. Last time I checked, I'm a woman in the twenty first century. How did I manage to go back to a time where a man could speak to a woman with such little regard for our feelings? Is this a dream? Did I miraculously stumble upon a time machine while I was making coffee?Nope. The man standing in front of me with a sh*t haircut and wrinkled blue suit thinks he can do whatever he wants because he has a penis."You're an idiot," He spits, slamming the paper coffee cup onto the counter in front of me. "How about you go back behind the machine and make me the right f*cking order!"I force a smile, when in reality I want to feel my knuckles glide across his stupid face.Grabbing a new cup from beside me, I write his previous order on the fresh paper. Maybe this man has nev

Chapter 2: He's Not Angry

Sabrina's POVI feel my heart immediately stop beating in my chest, terrified of how the next sequence of events will play out. Spilling boiling hot coffee onto a man's suit is not going to look good for me when my manager finds out.When the coffee lands on the man, he looks at me with his beautiful green doe eyes. To my surprise, there is no fire or hatred behind them. They look blank and empty, staring deep into my soul. I want to shiver under his gaze.I stand as still as a statute in front of this insanely handsome man, my mouth gaping open and close like a fish as I struggle to find any word in the dictionary to use to apologize to him."Are you okay?" The beautiful man asks, staring between me and the mess on his clothes.The red headed lady watches on in shock, clearly unhappy to see the man wearing her drink.I manage to nod my head. "Ye-es," I stammer, the word struggles to leave my lips."I'm so sorry that I ran into you," Green-eyes apologizes, taking in the mess on

Chapter 3: In Her Defense

Sabrina's POVI dreamt about green eyes and coffee-stained suits last night. I couldn't get Atlas's face out of my mind no matter how hard I tried to distract myself from his beautiful features and luscious hair.When I got home last night, my roommate, Dylan, was shocked to hear about my day. He kept saying I should quit and apply for jobs in the retail industry like him. His job pays better, but it isn't as entertaining as working in a café.Dylan wasn't at all surprised when I told him about Atlas. He told me I was a fool for fawning over a man that I'll never see again. I know realistically he's out of my league and probably taken, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate his beauty.Today is my day off; the first one in six days. I have a mountain of homework and lectures to catch up on that I'm dreading. Being a full-time worker and student don't go hand in hand. Some days I think about quitting college and working at the café for the rest of my life. It's days like yester

Chapter 4: Fired and Desperate

Sabrina's POV"You're fired."My mouth hangs open in shock. This is not how I thought I would start my shift today. I had been asked to come in early, but I thought that was due to being short staffed. I wasn't expecting to hear those two words as if I was on Donald Trump's reality television show."What?" I stammer, "Why?"Dan looks down at me, his tattooed arms folded across his chest. He is a very intimating man, but I can't look weak in front of him."I've had too many complaints about you in the past several weeks from angry customers," He mumbles, his bald head shining under the fluorescent lights, "I've reached my boiling point with you.""What happened the other day was an accident!" I exclaim, stress slowly taking over my body, "The man who I spilt the coffee on didn't care.""He wasn't the paying customer," Dan snaps.My eyes divert to the floor when he raises his voice, scared to look him in the eye."We've had too many problems with you, Sabrina" His voice is fir

Chapter 5: What a Surprise

Sabrina's POVGetting a phone call from EarthX Enterprises to say I got an interview was shocking at first, until I realized it had only been an hour since I had applied for the secretary position. The woman on the phone was enthusiastic about me coming in first thing tomorrow morning to interview for the job.I was skeptical on whether I would be lucky enough to receive a response from them due to my lack of employable skills. I've only ever worked in hospitality, which requires a completely different set of skills compared to working in an office.Dylan was so happy for me. He rushed me into my room to raid my closest for a cute outfit. He's convinced I'm going to end up sleeping with the CEO; I just roll my eyes in response. Stuff like that only happens in movies, not real life.Lying in bed, my phone buzzes as I'm about to go to sleep. I groan as I roll to the other side of the mattress to retrieve the device. The screen is so bright that I have to squint just to read the word

Chapter 6: It's You!

Sabrina's POVThe travel in the elevator to the top floor of the building, feels never ending. Each time a new floor ticks over, I feel myself getting even more nervous to meet my new boss. From what Jessica has said, he's really nice and knows what he's looking for in a secretary because he's a very busy man.Jessica forgot to mention his name, which would be something to mention first thing if I were her. I really should've researched the CEO of the company beforehand, so I knew what I was walking in to.The elevator finally dings at floor 60. I take a deep breath as I follow Jessica out into a space that isn't as large at floor 45, but definitely grander. There is only one large office and what appears to be a desk space for the secretary. A large kitchenette occupies the space to the right when you walk in, but other than that there is no one else on the floor.Jessica stops mid step to face me, "Now Sabrina, you will be up here by yourself so I'll hook you up with a new email

Too much has happened at one time, and now I'm on a crazy rollercoaster I can't seem to get off.My eyes don't leave the sidewalk as I walk mindlessly. The trees blow softly in the wind, different colored leaves and flower petals float carelessly to the ground, creating a masterpiece on the cement.I'm not looking forward to having this conversation with my parents because I know how it'll end – me storming out of the house almost in tears and my Mother angrily watching me leave from the front door.I love my parents to pieces, but at times they're too much to handle.Before long, I'm standing at their front door.

Chapter 8: Coffee Stains

Sabrina's POVI spent way too long on my hair and makeup this morning for my first day at work. Dylan helped me pick out a cute office attire dress that's appropriate to wear. I was a bit unsure at first. I've never had to dress this formally before, so I'm a bit uncomfortable moving around the public transport system because old men keep staring at me and eyeing me up and down.F*cking men, seriously.I'm nervous about meeting all the new people I'll be communicating with because Atlas seems like a very busy man and I'm sure will have dozens of employees trying to contact him for approval or advice.

My leg bounces up and down on the spot because I'm nervous to start working and I'm nervous to see Atlas.

Chapter 9: Stains and Secrets

Sabrina's POVThe sticky liquid seeps into the fabric of my blouse, spreading quick like wildfire. Jane throwing her drink on me in retaliation is not how I had imagined this conversation would go. I was hoping she would apologize for the cruel words she said about me, but instead she took the petty route.My eyes widen in shock, looking between Jane and the mess on my shirt. Spilling coffee has happened too many times in the past week, which could be a sign for me to steer clear of the liquid. I should become a tea drinker.Jane has a smirk on her face, "Now we're both a mess. Clean this up, newbie."Everyone in the break room is watching our interaction closely. I can tell they want to say something, but in a situation like this it's better to stay quiet and let us handle it.

I'm left standing in a puddle of

Chapter 10: The Big Ideas

Sabrina's POVIt's been several weeks since I started working with Atlas. He's an amazing boss; always on time, willing to answer any questions I have, and he always values my opinions. We work a lot of late nights together because he's working on a presentation to give to the board members.He won't tell me exactly what he's going to propose because he doesn't want any loose lips going around the office. I get that he doesn't fully trust me because we haven't known each other long and doesn't want to run the risk of his idea being leaked. The presentation needs to go well otherwise Atlas could lose investors.Atlas and I are standing in the room where the presentation will be held. It's ten minutes away from starting and Atlas hasn't said a single word to me. I want to make him feel comfortable and less stressed, but I don't know how.
