Crossfire

Burning desire

It has been 6 month already, time flies so fast, my life was getting back together and I was living my best. "Oh his smile is so beautiful" i didn't know what came over me recently, like a burning desire, it felt as if my heart will shatter into pieces, it felt as if I was been strangled, maybe it was love? I tried to get my mind off the suggestion of Mr henshaw liking me, what was I thinking I said to my self laughing heartily. I got ready for work and began to set out, i had already moved out of Mr Henshaw's mansion. I didn't want to complicate things for him and his fiance Oliva, she was a very beautiful girl who can resist her, even as a girl am stunned by her and even if Mr Henshaw were to chose am sure he wouldn't even look at me. I wonder how he would react when he finds out that I left, he wouldn't care am just a random girl he helped on the street and for that am very grateful. Mr Henshaw has been gone for 6 month and I have not seen him in the office yet, I hope he's alright. Miss we are here! The taxi driver said jerking me from my thought, thank you sir. I went into the office and to start my work, people now respect me that's so funny, at first they treated me as though I was just 'another secretary' but now am the longest secretary the boss has had.

Time really flies so fast, it already time for lunch, I was in the bathroom and I heard some women discussing

"Hey Anita it very clear that she seduced him"

"Yeah, how can she be the longest secretary to ever stay in the office"

"I heard she is living in the same house as Mr Henshaw but his fiance chased her out!! I really despise girls who try to steal others man"

" Yeah Currie, the third woman said You need to keep your boyfriend Adrian away from that witch, the way they behave together is very suspicious, don't let her take him away from you"

" You are write Betsey, even the way Jacob looks at her now, he looks at her lustfully and Jacob is one of the hottest guy in the Company, we all need to be on gaurd least that vixen steals our man away from us".

They continued chatting and laughing sarcastically, it was so painful and heartbreaking to continue eavesdropping, it reminded me to quench any burning desire for the Boss, who am I to even love him? or even think about him, i really need to find a new Job. When i came out of the toilet the 3 girls were shocked, the expression on their face proved everything, it was hilarious i almost laughed but no no no, I had to keep it cool. I went over to where the girls were standing washed my hands, reapply my make up on my face and left.

I was laughing as I left, they must really be scared or anxious Currie, Betsey and Andrea they always behave so kind near me, well sooner or later everyone will show their true color. I was engrossed in my thought about how pretensions people can be, i quickly apologized and I looked up I saw Andrew, Andrew?!!!!! He was the last person I want to see, am now restarting my life and then a fragment of my old self is coming to haunt me, how unfortunate am I? Hey, Alexa how have you been? I didn't want to even answer him i was so disgusted, how dare he ask me such question, the look in my eye was like a raging fire, I hated him more than anyone he used me and dumped me, but I need to keep my Job. Hi sir, my name is Alexa Staurt nice to meet you, are you here to see Mr Henshaw or other business, please let me know if it is the former or the later and I will send someone to show you around. How have you been Alexa? I really miss you, let's get back together. He tried holding my hands but I shifted back, Sir with all respect you are married and I am just a lowly secretary, while you are the CEO of a big company, please sir respect yourself. If news of this gets out it will be bad for your image and that of your company, if there is nothing else please I will take my leave. Alexa!!!! I know I really did what it bad and wrong, I really broke your heart and am sorry, I really sorry I missed you day and night since the day we broke up I thought of no other woman but you, I wondered what made me live you for Zoey, she really bewitched me please come back to me, leave this job and i will take you away to somewhere where only two of us will live the rest of our lives. I felt so disgusted but he kept on talking, people where already gather and i hated public attention, 'let go of me'!!! i ended up screaming. Alexa i know you might hate me now, but give me a chance to prove to you that I love you!! my biggest mistake in this live was chosing to believe Alexa instead of you, am very sorry. His apology felt sincere, I was deeply touched I almost accepted him back as I stretched fort my hands to touch him, but when I remember that I had someone in my heart already, and there was no room for him. Am so sorry Andrew but we are not meant to be I hope you will find a better girlfriend than me.
