Broken

Chapter2

Lizzy's POV

Where is it? I remember vividly putting it inside this file and now it's not there. I went through my documents for the umpteenth time. it was my letter of employment. I was required to come with it today. I sighed. I looked at the time, I have 30 minutes more before I run late. I glanced at my half empty cold cup of coffee which had been long forgotten. Well, I'm going in there without it from the looks of it. I look in the mirror. I have on me a cream colored pencil skirt with my favourite flats, and the top to go. I retouch my makeup and leave my apartment. I already ordered uber as I waited for my ride, I already turned my apartment upside down looking for the letter. my phone chimed. I saw that my ride was here. I quickly entered it as it pulled up on my block. After five minutes, I alighted and entered the building. I saw the receptionist and greeted. she ignored me. "Rude" I thought. After what seemed like an eternity she spared me a look. I felt slightly intimidating under her scrutiny. "State your business miss...." "Ava". I'm Lizzy Ava".

"So? What do you want?". " I have been offered employment ". " Can I see your letter of employment?' "I was hoping you could help me there, the thing is that I lost it"

She looked amused. 'Miss Ava, I cannot help you". "Maybe you could talk to my HR? I'm sure he would remember me". " Could you get out of here? I have a job to do". Tears welled up in my eyes. "please.........

" Good morning Christine " I heard a familiar deep masculine voice. I froze. it was the guy from the eatery. Everyone in this city was rude but that is the least of my problems for now. I had to find a way to make miss fake titties to let me in. "Good morning sir " she purred. ewww. He looked at me . " I know you. you bumped into me at that eatery". " Yea. I'm still sorry". "What are you doing here?". " I got employed but somehow lost my letter of employment and I'm trying to reason with Christine here". Christine looked unbothered. He took out something from his pocket and handed to me. it was my letter but how? it didn't matter. I gave it to Christine and I was directed to go up. I was already 5 minutes late. The look from my HR even with my explanation was life threatening. I quickly settled in and was packed with work. Thank God I was well trained because it looked pretty challenging.

Around 12pm. I saw him again. Mr honey eyes. He was smiling at me and whispering inaudible things to my HR. He came by my office. " Miss Ava, I suppose you owe me a favor". " I certainly don't Mr....." " Greene. I'm Kent Greene". "Oh". " I don't bite". "Well you were rude to me, I suppose you do". " I know and I want to apologise. So apology lunch?". I told myself that I wouldn't get involved with a man after exy. But he had a charming smile and everything. I felt like a pile of liquid nothing when he brushed my cheeks. " I'm busy Mr Greene". He looked over me. I was drawing on my computer. Spongebob Square pants. See a lady can fall in love with spongebob if she can't find love in real life right?. He chucked. " I'll be waiting outside". With that he turned and left. I looked at his retreating figure. His cologne lingered in the air. I sighed and prepared to go out for lunch.

Kent's POV

I don't know why I helped her. I don't know why I kept that letter. Maybe Eden was right. I needed to get laid. but there was this innocence around her. And she worked for me. No one knows I'm the big CEO. I had someone reprsent me in those type of things. I needed privacy but recently some people had begun to put two and two together. I never talked to Christine but the way she was about to pick on her stirred something in me. And I brought her precious letter too. I was guilty about the way I treated her and that was why I helped her. Maybe. Ever since Halsey I've never loved any woman. And certainly it won't be her. Maybe it was pity but it wasn't love. I'll prove it to myself. I concluded as I opened the door to the cafe and waited for her. Soon I saw her and waved. My breathe stopped as I looked at her smile and her eyes. Her eyes were the lighted shade of gray. She looked fragile. she looked breakable. She had curves in the right places and I would pay any amount to run my fingers through her hair. I knew every woman had a price and I have certainly decided to find out how much she was willing to sell herself. No matter how much they tried, I always found out their price and had them. "tsk tsk. Mr glaring, eyes up here" her voice brought me back to reality. I chuckled and stood up to pull out a chair for her. " I was admiring what was standing in front of me". I saw colors on her cheek. She blushed? it was pretty though. " so which department do you work in?" "I'm the CEO's PA." why did I say that? I've never hidden my personality. women loved power. I had so many women because of my money and position so why am I hiding myself from her? " Oh you work with the big guns. I've never met the CEO but I heard he's a b***h" I raised an eyebrow "is he now?" " yea and also a player". " didn't you just start work?" " yes I did but that doesn't mean I'm deaf" she giggled. Ha! she giggles. " well I'm sure you would love to meet him". " No, I'd rather not. I don't like men who are narcissistic ". "hmmm". We ordered and we talked. Lunch time was over and she wanted to go but I wanted to spend more time with her. we finally head back. it was pleasant spending time with her. Made me want to plant roses for her. I just wanted to do things for her approval. This was weird. I never felt this way about a woman. Maybe it was time to get laid. I just found the perfect candidate for that.
