Contract with the devil

Mia’s Pov “Mia, Mia, come down, else you'll be late”, I heard someone shout, and I just knew that it had to be my best friend, my ride or die, Lilian. She had been with me through thick and thin. It often came as a wonder to both me and everyone around me how she stuck by my side despite her being from a rich family and I from a not-so well-to-do background. She was the only child of the famous Mr and Mrs Anderson, owners of the biggest film producing company. So, she was very comfortable and well to do. The house we lived in was bought for her by her parents the day we graduated from school. She was so happy to let me stay with her despite me wanting to pay my own part gradually. She was even hurt by the fact that I suggested paying her back. Our friendship started when we were in kindergarten. I was a scrawny little kid who no one wanted to associate with and she walked up to me and said I was pretty and she would love to be my friend. She made me know that I had no choice in the matter. It was a very funny experience now that I think about it. Ever since then we have been stuck at the hip. We were always there for each other, till now. I dragged myself off the bed because no matter how much I hated the work and my boss, it was the only redemption I had from all the numerous bills and debts I had to pay.Yes, the pay was that good ,that was the only thing the rude man had to offer. Well, a little information about me, I work at Millers Corporation as the personal assistant to the one and only billionaire, Ace Miller. Taking my shower in record time, I finished quickly cause I was already late and going late to work wasn't something I needed. I wasn't ready to face my ever angry and arrogant boss. Too bad for me that he was a fine specimen of a man, with his perfectly laid back hair, sea blue eyes that you could easily get lost in, a nice stubble on his face well kept and his perfect body with perfect height. “Mia, come down or else you'll be late and I made breakfast”, my best friend called once again. I realised that I was daydreaming about my boss once again and if care wasn't taken I would be late. My best friend Lilian, very beautiful with her natural wavy hair, fine tanned skin, she had all the curves in the right places. At times I get jealous of her, wishing I was her, but I wouldn't change knowing her for anything in the world. She is a testimony that good friends are real. “You're running late”, she said to me. “Yh, good morning and thanks for breakfast,I'll just have it on my way to work”, I tell her. “Love you, byeee, take care of yourself and don't…”, I heard her say as I was running out of the apartment. You see what I said, she's a literal lifesaver to me, without her I really don't know how I'll be able to function properly. Now to a day where I have to work for my devilishly handsome boss who doesn't notice anyone and is rude. I had to stop at the coffee shop close to work cause I wouldn't want to find out what the brute would do to me if I didn't get him his coffee as usual. Ironic how he loved his coffee at specifically 80°C and dark without sugar or milk just like his personality. I found a taxi to go to work to avoid walking so as not to waste more time despite how close the coffee shop is to the office. I finally arrive and I take a look at my wristwatch and it says 8:30 am, meaning I am late, I can only pray the brute hasn't arrived yet. “Good morning Mia”, the guard at the ground floor said to me. “Good morning John”, I greeted him back. John has always been there for me ever since I started working for Mr Miller a year ago. He literally takes me as his daughter, yes he's that old. My conversation with him is rushed cause I'm already late. “Good morning Mia”, I keep on hearing as I rush to the elevator to take me to the last floor where the office of our handsome and evil boss is located. “Hold the door”,I hear someone say and it happens to be a handsome man who I have never seen here before and I must say God did take his time to create him. He had a perfect face with a sharp chiseled jaw, dark blue eyes like I haven't seen before and pretty lips. “Thanks”, the handsome stranger says. “No problem”, I reply and continue to look straight ahead as I pray for the elevator to move fast so I can deal with my arrogant boss. “My name is Dylan”,the handsome stranger tells me. I do not have time to respond as the elevator door opens at that time so I have to rush out, which is quite unfortunate. “Good morning Mia”, the redhead secretary that works on the private floor greets. Her name is Justine,she has been an incredible help to me. “Is he around”? I ask, skipping all the formalities because I was very scared, as this will be the first time I'm coming late ever since I began working for him a year ago. “Yes, he is already in and he looks pissed, just be careful”, she told me. I could see the pity that she had towards me in her eyes and that alone aggravated my fear. I couldn't afford to lose this job now. Not with the plenty of bills and debts bearing my name. Here goes nothing,I told myself. With the last courage I had, I knocked at the door awaiting his reply. “Come in”, I heard. I put on my biggest smile I could muster at that moment. “Good morning sir, here is your coffee”. I told him. The fury in his eyes was very evident. “ What does your time say?”was the first thing he asked me. I checked and it was already 9am, the shock on my face was evident. “What were you told about lateness the day you were employed?” he asked.
