Archelaus’s serious, cold, and deep eyes are looking straight to my eyes. I bit my lips and swallow the lump that formed in my throat. His words played in my mind like a broken radio. I heaved my breath as wait or hope that he’ll add “Joke” on the sentence he just said but minutes later, as my heart starts its irregular beat and my palms start sweating, I got nothing.
Is he really serious about this? I asked myself.
“You can’t be serious!” I said hysterically, more like beg for his mercy. “I don’t know anything yet about that job! You haven’t oriented—trained me yet!” I said trying to make sense and to be rational but when I saw the corner of his lips move upward and his eyes glisten with amusement I f*****g know that talking isn’t going to help me.
Damn! He’s definitely enjoying
