Return of revenge

Perfectly professional

What should've been a memorable day for me turn out to be a complete horror when I entered the room after Maria.

"Mr. Daniel, This is Kate Lang-ford. Your new assistant."

Time stopped as he slowly lifted this steel gray eyes. The same eyes that captivated me last night.

The same eyes the bought intense horror into me this very morning.

Blood drain from my face as l saw him still when he finally looked at me.

The guy l picked up last night. The guy who captivated me with just one glance. The guy who sat with me for hours watching reruns of my favorite shows and eating pizza. The guy who laughed and teased me. The guy whom l had fallen asleep with last night. And The guy who terrified me just this morning stood right in front of me.

Jacob or should l called him Daniel Smith Kelley looked at me with a blank face but l could see his eyes piqued with curiosity.

Oblivious to the tension in the room, Maria continued introducing me to him and vice versa.  

Anyway, I wanted this job far more than I needed anything. And after what happened today. Men were out of the question for me.

"Same here, Miss Lang-ford. Please have a seat. l hope you're doing well?" He lifted his eyebrows, as if to challenge me. Heat crawls up my neck and cheeks. Even after this morning, l can't stop the effect his single glance can have on me.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking." Taking my hand from his l sat in front of his desk not knowing what to do under his intense eyes. l could see he wanted to know everything but it would take a lot more than being synchronized under those eyes to spill my secrets.

He sat down, interlocking his fingers on his desk pining me with a blank look but his eyes asked a million questions. How did l not recognize him last night. Was i really that drunk? l tried to look as professional as possible but this morning was still too raw and the person who was unintentionally the cause of it was right in front of me and he was none other than my boss. 

For a second, l considered fleeing but dismissed the idea immediately. What could that possibly do but ruin my chances for the future.

"l wasn’t available when the interviews were held. That’s why Maria had to conduct them." He started "But l’m kind of glad. As you very well know you happen to be my first assistant ever.

Maria happened to think l need to let someone help me with my day to day activities. And according to your academics. l'm glad it was you"

He said with a blank voice that clearly said he wasn’t that glad.

"l know this will be a hard job to do but l assure you Mr. Daniel, l will give my everything to ensure you that you your trust in me would never be damaged" l said in a way too professional tone and way too fake smile. But l couldn’t help myself.

"I'm very happy to hear that. Please if you may, Maria would show you to your office" He said in a bored tone and started typing on his laptop dismissing me. His tone not matching the politeness of his words which stung.

Standing up, l turned around quietly leaving the room. This is going to be really really difficult.

~Daniel~

Fuck f**k double fuck..

Can this get anymore f****d up?

l still couldn't get the look of pure horror she had on her this morning out of my mind. 

Yes, I had known her in the club, Some what I want a time with her, so I just hook up there.

But, fortunately or unfortunately she was in a sober state. She hardly remember me.

I really don't know what came up? I introduce me with my nick name Jacob. I love the way she reacts for my facial expression.

I just hook up with her that night and loved it, the way she spends in my mansion and the funny jokes that made my night.

But, all not went well, when she wake up. The way she ran away from me like she feared me. Like I was the monster in her nightmare. It angered me.

What had she gone through?

What really was weird that she didn’t move a muscle. She didn’t try to fight me off. If not for that whimper, l wouldn't have known she was awake.

And now when she entered the room, it reminded me of what was so different about her. Her beautiful sad Hazel eyes that spoke a thousand unsaid words. Her soft plump lips that called out to me. Begging me to take them. Calling her beautiful wasn’t enough. She was straight up stunning.

But we were possible anymore.

She wasn’t possible anymore. She was my employee and I would not give her another chance to be afraid off me.

She was perfectly professional and it was quite clear that she wouldn’t bring up this morning. And l was glad. The way she said Mr. Daniel like she was taunting me. Asking me why l lied.

ls it so bad that i wanted to be with someone who didn’t recognize me? l had the chance l took it. Only now l regretted it with everything. 

My thoughts were interrupted when Maria came sauntering in my office like she owned the place. Perks of being the bosses cousin.

I rolled my eyes at her antics when she sat on my desk facing me with a huge bright smile on her face that reeked mischief.

"What do you want Marie?" It was getting annoying with the way she stared at me but it only seemed to amuse her more.

Swinging her legs back and forth like a five year old she sang "So how was she?"

"How was who?" l asked pretending to be oblivious when I knew she was asking about one Hazel eyed angel.

"You know who Dan" She said with an eye roll and l did everything l could to ignore her. "l knew the way you looked at her. Perhaps like you both met before. And if it wasn’t the look Kate send you, l would have never connected the dots" she

proudly stated like she just discovered the greatest miracle of all.

l stilled. There was only one person who knew about what happened today other than Kate and I. And that was Kayden, my best friend. "So you and Kayden back together?" I asked.

Deliberately changing the subject and making a note of not telling s**t Kayden ever again. Maria and Kayden have been going on and off for the past 2 year. Both hard-headed and not wanting to

be the first to admit they love the other.

"Na a-a-a" She wiggled her tiny little finger in front of my face clearly catching onto my act. "Tell me what happened between you to" Giving me her stern voice.

"No one hears about this Maria. And specially not Kate. I don’t want her uncomfortable here" l knew there was no way out so l told her what happened but l deliberately left out about what happened this morning. No want had to know about that.

After l was done, Maria just sat there looking at me with wide brown eyes. "Did you just tell me. That you picked that gorgeous girl from the bar last night. And all you both did was eat pizza and

watch tv shows?" Definitely shook covered her face which was quite amusing. Maria was never the one to get caught off guard that easy.

" She was hungry. It's not what you think." I shrugged nonchalantly. Not wanting anyone to know how much that girl affected me. "Ahan, sure. Tell that to your dick." she said

with a knowing smirk on her face. Obviously not believing me one big. And to be honest. Even I wouldn’t believe me. That girl definitely left her mark.

"Go back to work Maria. l doesn’t pay you to gossip around here. Show Kate how everything works around here." l said dismissing her. Giving her one of my famous glares that has made many

lose their s**t, but obviously not Maria.

"I'm going. But don’t think l don’t know you Daniel. There's something you're hiding and l'm making it my life's mission to find out." She said while turning around, leaving my office before l

could say anything to her.

There was no one in this world who had the guts to talk to me like Maria does. She is literally the only one who isn’t scared shitless off me and it's kind of refreshing. Not being feared.

l just wanted to forget about her and everything related to her and treat her as what she was, my employee. l just hope my d**k understood that. That fucker hasn’t calmed down since the

moment Kate entered my office.
