Beyond Normal

I woke up early just because of the nonstop noise from the other room. They fight early in the morning just because of the egg. Why do I have to supper like this? My bad! I still wanted to sleep.
“Who’s there?” I shouted when someone knocks on my door.
“Miss Jade, Sir Damon is already waiting for you at the car,” Gil shouted from the other side.
I almost fall when I heard what he said. I glance at the clock on my wall, it's still six in the morning, and he's here already waiting for me? What time does he thinks I need to be in the office? For heaven’s sake!
“Just a minute…”
I rapidly run to the shower. I moved fast than the usual routine I do every morning, coz my f*****g boss was already waiting for me. He hates it when we're taking too long to get ready. Cause time is precious as he says.
I don’t know why I stay this long, to this workaholic Devil.
I almost tripped when I run down the stairs. I exhaled and fix my hair a little, before ready my long patience with a smile.
“Good morning, Sir Damon.”
“Your late, Ms. Lazaro.” I pouted. As if it's office hours already.
“Sorry, Sir. It’s early in the morning, Sir, so don’t be a snob—”
“Tsk! Let’s go, -- “
I can’t help but rolled my eyes at him.
My god, it's so early in the morning to be grumpy. If I don’t need a job right now I wanted to slap this folder on him, to wake him up for being an asshole. He’s getting to my nerves.
“Is there a problem Ms. Lazaro?” I froze as if he caught me in the act.
“No, sir.”
“Then why are you pouting?”
I cover my mouth and shake my head continuously. I wanted to smack my head for acting weird and guilty in front of him.
“What’s my schedule for today?”
I open my iPad to check his schedule. Before I use a memo pad for all his schedules, but he never had a clear schedule. So I would end up erasing and clearing again, it looks like a mess. In this one, I’ll type and crossed out some canceled meetings, no erasure, no more messy pad.
“Cancel my meeting for late afternoon tonight?”
Eh?
But I already confirmed it. Argh, if only I could kill this guy beside me, I’ll do that.
“Cancel, Sir? Do you have any sched—”
“It's your job to check my schedule and assist me, no more questions.” He said as he got out of the car. What a high and mighty, pompous ass.
I followed him furiously.
I wish there’s someone who can teach this jerk a lesson. He just decides any time he likes. I know it is my job, but can’t he help a bit and cooperate to lessen the workload. Coz in the first place, all he does is talk to people and sign that f*****g paper.
“What is this, Dan? You call it a strategy? A report? It’s trash!” I sighed as I heard him shouting his lungs out at Dan from the strategic plan team. All I can do is feel sorry too, Dan as he picks up all the paper, Damon throws.
“Hiyasmin, why do you think this company, keeping up this far even it has a demon boss?” Regina whispered as she sits beside me.
“Coz he’s still the best.” I shrugged.
“Oh, I agree to that. Even if he's a monster at work, he’s still the best employer.”
That’s true. The only appreciation we have to put up is his rude attitude.
You’ll learn from him, in every aspect he can have, he’ll teach you. But once he decides to be Demon there’s no turning back.
“Ms. Lazaro… Hiyasmin Jade Lazaro..” I was startled by his voice. I think my eardrum cracks every time he shouts.
“Y—yes… Y-yes, Sir?”
“I am calling you for goodness sake, are you still asleep? You’re daydreaming again. Damn it! Ms. Lazaro was in the office so stop being absentminded.” My head tilted while looking at him. Does he need s*x? He's always angry and grumpy. “My s*x life is healthy, thank you but it doesn’t concern you. Back to work!” I jumped when he scourged his hands on my desk. It makes sounds like my professor does when he always slummed the board.
OMG! Did I say it out loud?
Oh god, I wanna die! Please take me with you now!
Today I busied myself working until I forgot how annoyed am I with my boss. I didn't even have to worry about him since my boss already left without even telling me. Anyway, who’s the boss who informs his secretary about his agenda? Tsk!
“Oh, Jade your still here? Where’s Damon?” I smiled instantly when I saw his handsome face in front of me.
Felomino Carters or Fino for short. 28 yrs. old, single, approachable, thoughtful, with six-pack abs. My all-time crush in this company. He's also a member of Bachelor Mag that Aksel Damon was on the first page. He’s Damon’s best friend and business partner, he the opposite of my demon boss. The only part that I can compare them with was the abs. God, if you saw them doing their routine exercise, you’ll crave a coffee, cause their abs were like a loaf of bread in my eyes.
“Hi Sir, he left a while ago. As usual grumpy.” He laughed at what I said.
“Your funny.” I’m not joking. “Anyway, take care on your way home.” He said before he left me.
He’s really out of my league. I’m really curious how does it feel to be his girl. If only I could line up on the waiting list just to be one of his girls. I sighed as I watch his back walking away from me.
“Why are you sighing?”
I almost jumped in shock when someone whispered next to me. “Wtf!”
“Are you cursing me, Ms. Lazaro? May I remind you—”
“Oh god! I’m sorry, Sir. G—goodnight—goodbye.” I thought he already left. I thought he already left the office, but it looks like he's just sleeping in his room. God, why does he always popped up, like a mushroom?
I hurriedly run away from him. Even though I almost fell on the heels I was wearing, I took care of it until that man lost from my sight. I smack myself for what just happen. My mouth has no filter and it's making me insane. Outrageous shame words came out of my mouth.
“God, Hiyasmin Jade, you’re unbelievable.”
I came home tired and all my energy seemed drained. He always argues and bosses you around like a disabled man. Getting into the office of my annoying boss was like a struggle on the road every day, it is exhausting.
I woke up to the noise of my phone. I had no intention of responding to it because when I looked at the clock it was already twelve at the midnight. I want to sleep longer because I still have work and I need to wake up early tomorrow. But whoever it is, we're constantly calling as if it's an emergency.
"What?" I hissed without looking who’s calling me. But I was stunned and immediately awakened when I heard my boss's voice.
"Are you mad at Miss Lazaro?"
"No, sir."
"Good. Now, you have ten seconds to pack your belongings. I'm here downstairs from your apartment I’ll wait for you.” He said before he hung up. And don’t give me a chance to asked.
“I hate you! Argh, I hate you, Damon Puertonillo.” I scream while pumping my pillow.
I wanted to cry in annoyance because of him. He always popped up in front of my door and ask me to pack my things. He would bring me anywhere he wanted to unwind as he said. Coz work drains his energy and patience. Wow, the word patience coming from him was like a forbidden word for others. Big word!
I hate him for being so bossy and arrogant.
“Where are you going Ms. Lazaro?” he asked when I open the shotgun. I was about to ask him but then I realize, he won’t drive.
Wtf, is wrong with this guy?
“Oh, I’m sorry, sir. I was just opening the door for you.” I said as I rolled my eyes on him.
He was comfortably sitting beside me, while I was dying to lay down and sleep, but I can’t. Coz this f*****g guy beside me, ask me to drive him in the middle of the night.
“Oh, God please help! I wanted to kill someone… patience please… patience.”
“You saying something, Ms. Lazaro?”
“No, sir. Just take a rest and sleep, you’re so tired from ranting and making the life of your employee, miserable. So rest.” I answered mocking him but the jerk just ignored me and fall asleep.
He just scowled at me and gave me a thermos. When I open it the aroma of brewed coffee welcomes me. At least I have a jar of coffee than nothing. Coz I might fall asleep while driving this sleeping Demon, in the middle of the night.
