My life is ruined
1031 Words
I didn’t feel any better when I woke up, my head was throbbing with pain, my chest tightened against my heart and a breath escaped my lips, it still hurts just like it did yesterday, I can still recall the way Tara looked and how Harry did not even care about me, about my pain.
I glanced around the room and my eyes caught the wall digital clock, realization dawns to me, I am late, I have an important meeting today with Adam Smith, and if there is anything that he hates is tardiness, my boss has been pestering about the meeting, if Harry and I got married yesterday, I would have still been at this meeting today and after this, I had a one-week break, and now I have nothing to do with it.
I shook off the thought and I headed into the bathroom, no one knows I was getting yesterday; I just have to go into work and pretend like everything is normal; I needed to do that for myself; this is the biggest deal of my career, if I can get through it, I would get the promotion that I want, and I would get everything I have ever worked for.
I quickly took a bath and I changed my clothes as fast as I could, I looked away from my wedding dress that laid on the floor before I headed out of the room; I glanced at my watch, I had ten minutes before I got there, and I needed to be there before him.
A breath escaped my lips when I got inside the car, I felt my eyes bubbling with tears when I thought about Harry.
“Get over yourself Maya, you need this deal.” I whispered against my lips, I shook off the thought and I drove as fast as I could, every second felt like a minute.
When the car came to a halt, I took my files and I raced out of the car, I headed into the building; when I got to my floor; I noticed that everyone was staring at me, they were whispering some things, I still have one minute before it’s time, I could not care about what they were saying.
I headed into my office, and a scream escaped my lips when I saw a figure in my office.
“You are late.” He said, his back was facing me, I was unable to see his face.
“I’m right on time; the meeting is to start by ten, and it’s ten.” I said in a firm voice, I was too mad at everything to even let him speak to me the way he had wanted.
I have heard a lot about Adam, I have seen a couple of pictures of him in the magazine, and I knew that he was an arrogant, self-centered man that loves to be proven right, he did not like mistakes, and he has had thirty personal assistant over two years, they slept with him and they lost their job.
I shook off the thought and I headed toward my desk, I laid the file on my table and that was when Adam turned; he had a smile on his face, he looked better than the images in the magazine; he looked good, and I could see why he was cocky.
“My eyes are up here Amaya.” He said, he turned to look at my name plate on my table and he smirked. “You are late.”
Fuck, he was not going to let that go, I could tell.
“Mr.Smith-Adam.” He said, cutting me off, “it’s Adam and I would take an apology for your tardiness.”
I would rather not apologize, I got more mad at him, he is arrogant, and I wish I could wipe the smirk on his face, a part of me knew that I had to apologize, whatever happens here, my boss would know of it and I cannot get fired.
A breath escaped my lips, I suppressed the curse word that threatened to escape my lips, and I turned to look at him with a fake smile on my face.
“I am sorry for my tardiness Adam; I can assure that it would never happen again.” I said in a firm voice, each word felt agonizing, and I was annoyed that I had to apologize, he had a smirk on his face.
This is the first time we are meeting and he is making a terrible impression.
“It’s no problem, make sure you are in the office before I am, and make sure my coffee is here too, I like it black with no milk and no sugar, and also have a seat.” He smirked.
What does he think of himself, I am not his person assistant; I don’t work for him; he is lucky that we need his money for this project; that explains why he is cocky and rude, I don’t understand why he thought he could boss me around.
He sat on my leather chair with a smirk on his face, and he pointed toward the other chair, I took a seat on the chair opposite his.
“Can we start Adam?” I asked, hoping he won’t waste any more of my time.
“We should have started a long time ago, if you were not late, before that, you looked familiar.” He said, he glanced at me, hoping to remember where he had seen me.
I felt the urge to yell at him and tell him, we didn’t have time for this, what did my boss see in this man, he was just like Harry, wrapped in daddy’s money and nothing else.
I looked back at him, hoping he would speak.
“I know where I have seen you.” He smirked, he pulled out his phone and he typed something before he smiled again. “You are the lady in the wedding dress.” He smiled.
My heart skipped a beat when he turned his phone and he showed me a picture online.
Oh, no.
