“ Yes”, I said firmly, calming myself down and reassuring myself that I wasn't scared of him anymore.
“ Very well then, I wouldn't want to keep you any longer. My secretary will show you to your office and prep you on what you need to do. Welcome aboard”, he said and rang his secretary as he moved to his armchair.
Glinda walked in, and for the first time since I first saw her, I noticed her feminine features; long blonde hair, a pointed nose, a flat tummy, and she walked as if she was on a runway show, slow and steady, gliding like a gazelle.
“ Come along”, she said. As I walked behind her, I also couldn't help but notice her perfectly shaped ass, carved out so well that it seemed unreal, so unreal that if a cup of coffee was placed on it, it would stand without a single drop of coffee spilling. She was beautiful, and she knew that she was, and so she carried herself with that much grace that was required of girls like her.
I wondered if Hakim had gripped that ass and tucked that blonde hair behind as he kissed her, and just wondering about it made me sick. She was his type, and I wouldn't be surprised if he would be so unprofessional to have s*x with her.
We walked into another large office, not as large as Hakim's but still large, and it exceeded my expectations of what I had hoped for an office, and I began to wonder how I was going to stock up the table with files of different cases, just like I had seen in L.A law.
The rest of the day went smoothly, and kind of uselessly because nothing in particular was achieved. Glinda just showed me every one and everywhere, and I enjoyed the food from the firm's cafeteria; meatloaf and lasagna.
“ Holy molly”, Sasha exclaimed as I narrated my ordeal for the day, “ you are f*****g kidding me”.
“ Even I was lost of words”, I said, gulping down the glass of milk I had.
“ Wait, wait, this could actually mean something”.
“ Mean what? That karma is such a b***h?”
“ No, it might be fate”.
“ Oh come on Sasha, stop with your superstitions and whatnot”.
“ I'm serious. Maybe fate brought you guys back together”.
“ Well, damn that stupid fate for making him my employer. I should've been the employer, so that I could look him in the face one day and tell him ‘ hey, you're fired’, that will feel so good”.
Sasha laughed uncontrollably at my gesture, “ but then, according to what you said, he wants to patch things up. He might be sorry for what he did back then”, she was still trying to buy me into her idea of fate.
“ And you think I would believe him even if he were to get on his knees? Look, even this musician said it……um…. what's his name again”, I tapped my head, trying to remember his name, “ yes, Alec Benjamin, he said it, the devil doesn't bargain. He will never change because devils never change”, I said and Sasha laughed again.
A vampire series was ongoing on the television but I felt restless, and I knew it was because of Hakim. I had to get him out of my mind, and I had to be fast about it. I got my phone and logged into my dating app and searched for people willing to meet up immediately, but there was none. I had no other choice. I logged into my contacts and typed the letter B and remembered his name; Basil, the guy from the day before, and I dialed his number.
“ Hey, you wanna meet up?” I asked, sounding so brisk.
“ Hi, I would love to”, he said and I got my car keys, ready to go.
