Sinful Obsession

Chapter Five

Was it a few minutes later, I found myself climbing Into the elevator with Elsa there4 beside me, she had me put on a black skirt right above my knee and a white shirt that was almost not my size, I have to pack my hair up but loose since I have to take off the bandage.

Nobody would like to get served by a girl wearing a bandage on her head and despite the ache in my head, I still pretended that I was okay while putting on a smile on my face.

“Just take a deep breath, it going to be fine” Elsa whispered closely in my ear just as the elevator door pulls open, I had to rub my sweaty hands down my skirt, I got this…I thought to myself before stepping out of the elevator door.

Inside the hall was a place I could have never imagined in my life, there wasn’t any loud music playing in the background or a bunch of crowds shaking the place down, I know there was a VIP launch but I never imagined it to be like this. The music playing in the background was so soothing and the light there was dim and comforting and nothing like the dimming light at the club down the building, it was much calm here and impossible to hear the blasting music from there.

I was in love with this place, I had never in my life expected it to be this way and Elsa never talked about it like I would have done and the people here were mostly men…and just looking at them you could sense the air of authority around, I swallowed as I stared at all these.

“Come, I’ll tell you what to do” Elsa took me by the hand and lead me to the bar which was also nothing like the one on the ground floor, it was more exquisite and rich “Your job is to take orders and carry out their orders carefully, you don’t have to make any mistakes here Elmer, people here tend to be very mean so to make your job easier…

She handed me a pen and a little jotter that I could fit into my pocket “Use this to jot down every order you make to avoid mistakes” “Sure, I will” I collected just in time to remember that I still have to apologize to her “Look, Elsa…she looks up at me with than her blond tinted hair “I’m sorry for what I had said to you earlier, I know I shouldn’t have said that word to you…

She place her finger briefly on my lip “Just don’t worry about that now, you could apologies later but for now let our only focus be at the work” just the way she smile showed me that she wasn’t at all angry at me, I watched her leave and realize that I should do the same too.

And for hours, I found myself taking and placing orders, it was tiring, and exhausting, and ng lot of people call on me at the same time but I tried my best not to show it while I kept on a bright smile on my face.

And Elsa didn’t fail to remind me every moment she passed by how good and awesome I was doing, even though I felt shitty I was as hell I was always a little bit encourage and I tried as much as I can to avoid thinking of my headache and focus more clearly at my work…and the man seated by the large exquisite window.

I didn’t know why I had specifically noticed him out of all the people in the room, I had seen myself sparing a glance toward him every five seconds, I couldn’t say why of course, but I know that something was genuinely pulling me to him.

It was stupid but I think it was the air of authority and power around him, the controlling smile and simple curt nod.

The way he gently reach for the lady’s hand seated in front of him every minute and also why didn’t I bother sparing the lady he was with a glance, I was overthinking things, maybe the only reason I was attracted to him was how unique and controlling he looks while sitting there.

For the first time in my life, I was mesmerized by a man, something that I have never done before, and who was this man that caught my attention! It was weird knowing that I’m thinking and focusing all my thought on a man and I tried my best to redirect my thoughts and think about something else.

But when I saw him motion me over, something in me froze into place, the nervous feeling I felt instantly, the racing heartbeat and hand tremble. What was wrong with me? This was the question I can’t answer as I made my way toward the table he was seated at.

“Go ahead and place your order” I heard his alluring masculine voice say to the lady he was with and for some reason, I noticed the angry frown on the woman’s face, she was unhappy with something. “W…what…” I cleared my voice a bit not knowing why I was stuttering “What can I get for you guys? I tried to keep my smile intact while waiting to take both their order.

“A glass of whiskey,” he said without bothering to look at me, he just kept his gaze on the lady who was fuming at this point, “I think champagne will do” she finally said and I left to get their drinks for them and it was only a seconds later when I emerged with their order and for the look of things, the lady was still angry.

I proceeded by dropping the glass of whiskey down the table gently and just as I was about to drop the next drink on the table, the question I heard startled the hell out of me “Why were you late with the order? She yelled at me, of course, I wasn’t late with the order, what was she talking about? “Excuse me? I looked from her to the man that had caught my attention.

“She wasn’t late, Jasmine, you’re just angry,” the man said with a relaxed expression, and this time his eyes met mine and I felt a sudden chill run down my spine, what was this feeling? “Yeah, I know that, and f**k that!” she yelled and in the next seconds, I was dripping red wine while she makes her way out.

What the f**k!
