I hear him say to the secretary on the desk next to the conference room "tell me yourself" the words escape my lips before my brain could process the situation, halting him mid stride. wordlessly,he takes calculative steps back to me, his face rid of any emotion, his figure, daunting. He hovers over me and I'm awestruck at how surreal his facial features are. "You're still staring intern, either you're too bold or just plain stupid" he says literally looking down on me "blo..blo..ood" I stutter "what did you just say?" He steps away from me, clearly taken aback "the right side of your lip is bleeding" he looks doubtful before his hand carefully moves to his lips, seeing the blood on his middle finger, his eyes darts back to mine. If he's angry or in pain, his face gives nothing away. "Loretta, tell your intern she's fired. I want her nowhere near my building" he instructs the confused secretary while looking me dead in the eyes. "please, no sir" I plead,my eyes stinging with unshed tears,but he is already walking away.
