Blinded by love and Pain

Chapter 6: First Day

Zelda POV

I spent the whole Tuesday searching and applying for jobs online. It was pretty obvious to me that the New Tech group company will not hire me. I kept checking my phone hoping Nathan will call or text but nothing. The rest of the week I remained indoors, isolated from the world. I was disappointed that Nathan did not bother calling me.

Friday I didn't bother taking a shower or leaving my bed. I was depressed and sad over Nathan and the job issue. I did not even hear my phone ring or see any messages. At 6pm I heard the doorbell, I knew it was my friends, but I did not feel like seeing them today. I wanted to be alone. I will see them tomorrow; hopefully I will be in s better mood then. So I ignored the door. I think they left after 15 min. All of a sudden I heard my stomach growl reminding me that I did not eat today. Instead of getting out of bed, I looked for my phone to order takeaway.

When I opened it, I saw 30 missed calls. Ten missed calls from my friend Bianca, 5 messages from Natasha asking what's going on with me, 15 calls from an unknown number and an email from the New Tech group stating I got the job and I can start ASAP or whenever I am ready in the next 30 days. I jump of my bed in excitement, this is the kind of news I needed to reduce the heartbreak I was feeling. I started dancing with no music and quickly rushed to my laptop in the sitting room.  I browsed through the document they sent me page by page. When I was done emailing back the contract and the other document to the company, I heard the doorbell ring and a crazy knock on my door. But I decided to ignore it. Only Bianca knocks like that, I really didn't want to see them.

A deep voice said, I have pizza, wine and a grey's anatomy series with me. I didn't think twice. I ran to open the door, and I was meet by Nathan wearing black sweatpants and a white top. I let him in and led him to the sitting room. He kissed me and apologised for not calling me, telling me he had a busy week. But I knew he was lying, he was busy with that model I saw him with at the restaurant. I decided to push that thought aside; I was probably over thinking things.

We spent the whole weekend at my place watching grey’s anatomy marathon and eating junk food. My heart was content having him around and to myself. A part of me wished the weekend would never end. But Sunday evening came at the blink of  an eye, making the weekend shorter. We were lying on my bed when I decided to ask him about the girl I saw him with on Monday. "Nathan!" "Yes hon!"  "I hope you don't mind me asking you this but, who is that ‘black skinny girl’ you were with on Monday afternoon at the coffee shop?" Nathan did not seem bothered by the question, he smiled at me and said, "Is my honey bear jealous? I sense a bit of it in your voice." I blushed and nodded my head. "She is one of my business associate and best friend, Lilly." He said it innocently, making me feel stupid for asking and being jealous. He then looked straight into my eyes and said, "I will never do you dirty like that, you are the world to me. I love you more than the words themselves." I could see it in his eyes and facial expression that he meant every word. His words made me happy and I was beaming with excitement. I gave him a pack on the cheek and told him, that I loved him too.

Monday

It was my first day at work and I was excited. So I went early to work at 6 am. I was wearing a blue body hugging long jean, black sandals and a black golf-shirt which was up to my waist level. I found the secretary whose name is Lee-Ann. I greeted her and asked her for an access card. She gave me all the information I needed and told me that I start work at 8 am every day. She gave me a tour of the building and told me the dos and don'ts. She also gave me advice, I believe I did not need, but I smiled and nodded anyways. She left me in my office, but before she step away she said, "I would warn you about the boys but I don't think it's necessary, they are into slim girls." I gave her a fake smile and politely said," Well I'm just here to work not to find a potential husband, but I understand your confusion. Thank you for the tour, have a lovely day." She frowned and walked away.

Ethan POV

Zelda is starting today and I can't wait to show her around and train her. I’m sure she is a fast learner. Once she is able to do things by herself I will have less work on my plate. I will make her write all the reports to relieve me off this admin work. Everyone was against hiring her especially Marry, she felt like she didn't fit. Well it’s true she doesn't have a sense of good fashion nor a slim body. She is just plain, with that low self-confidence (or at least I think she does) it will make it easier for me to get her to do my job. On bad days I might just bed her, girls her type are very gullible, plus there won't be any competition. That thought brought a mischievous smile on my face. I was looking forward to seeing her at the office.

When I arrived, I found her settled in her office and it was only 8:30 am. She was already working on some of the file the secretary left on her desk yesterday. I stood close to the door  and watched her worked. Man she looked gorgeous when she is working. I decided not to disturb her and go to my office to drop my bag. I was surprise to find that she arranged my schedule and meetings for the week and left me coffee on my table. This gesture alone made me smile. How kind of her to arrange my messy diary. I took the coffee and went to her office. "Good Morning Ms Brown. I see you have already started working. I like that." She smiled but looking nervous. "Hi sir! I came early so I thought I will help you arrange your schedule and looked over the files and minutes I found on my desk. I hope you don't mind." I have to say she has a lovely voice. I could help but think how it will sound like when I make her have the best orgasm of her life. I definitely wouldn't mind having phone s*x with her. A small smile crept onto my face, ‘dammit I can’t be thinking such things about her, its unethical’. I quickly brushed that thought off. "Ms Brown, Please call me Ethan, everyone calls me that. If you don't mind can I call you Zelda." She nodded her head and continued working. I was wondering how she even knew what she was supposed to do with the files because there was no instruction. She interrupted my thoughts. "There was a sticky note with instructions in each pile. So I thought you will not mind me helping with summarizing the reports and the budget for each file (project). I also made suggestions which you can accept or reject for today's meeting. I prepared the revised  budget on the telefax contract and also made a few comments on what they can bring in if they don't want the budget to be cut." Damn she was just going on and on about everything, making me realized that I might not have to teach her anything. Then again she does have the work experience needed.

I offered to take her on the tour, but she told me she already had one. She also told me that Lex showed her everything else. I won't lie, I was happy with her work and her first day went smoothly. I am going to love having her around. She really did well on her first week in the company, it's like she has been here for years. Our clients also loved her, Mr Jameson even asked her out, which is strange because he is a very hard man to please.

As she left after her first day, I watched her pack her stuff preparing to leave. She was talking to someone on the phone smiling, oblivious all the men in the office staring at her as she walked to the elevator. She actually reminded me of a girl my friend Nathan and I wanted and she never even gave us a second thought. I can honestly say Zelda was a beautiful girl and I was not the only man in the office who noticed that. The jean she was wearing revealing her round big ass, made all the men in the office today to slack behind on their work. I thought to myself as she waved goodbye to everyone before the elevator closed, ‘it’s going to be tough to concentrate with her around, and I am sure once Nathan sees her, we will be locking horns. I see history repeating itself.’
