Andrea's POV
“Don’t dare pretend that you are a good person. Because you and I know that you are worse than the devil”
He smiled darkly “And you are his servant, so do as I say hore! Stay calm or your makeup would get wrecked in tears”
I folded my hands into a fist, and swallowed his words.
The lunch was half way gone, everyone had their plate almost empty except me, who was still contemplating on eating or starving.
Well what was there to eat, when I sat close to my worst enemy?
“Andrea… I could order the maids to get you what you prefer, since you don’t like what is on the table” Mrs. Kathrine drawled, drawing everyone's attention to me.
“You don’t have to ma’am, I don’t just feel like eating.” I lied.
Hunger was eating through the core of my being, coursing through my body and breaking every veins into pieces.
“Ethan, take your guest around,” Mr. Dela-Cruz instructed.
I darted my gaze to Ethan, thinking he was going to oppose, but to my greatest surprise and disgust, he stretched his filthy hands at me, and wore a wide smile.
I observed his wicked grin, and darted my gaze back to his hand, that were hungry for my feel.
Laughed lightly “he doesn’t have to Mr. I have a lunch date with my girls and would need to go now”
I looked back at Ethan, his wicked smirk faded into disappointment. Darted my gaze to my parents, who were both shocked.
“Your girls hum… I didn't know you had girls” mom said, curtailing the disappointment that was slowly creeping in
“If she says so, why not?” dad questioned, urging me to go ahead.
“Hope you don’t mind Ethan driving you there”… Mr. Dela -Cruz chipped
“Ehm…aphpp… dad…dad your keys please …
I am grown up, I could handle myself” I spoke not minding the look they all had on their faces.
“Good!!!” I whispered the moment I caught my dad’s keys.
“See you all some other time” I drawled and took to my heels
“You wouldn’t even wait for Ethan to walk you out” a voice yelled from inside.
“No he doesn’t need to…” I responded, thanking my stars.
“What is wrong with her?” a voice that sounded like Mrs. Katherine questioned.
“I think she is just pretty too excited about –
“bommmmm!!!!”
I drove off, without sparing the compound a final glance.
Gasping out, I rushed to the kitchen and made myself a quick lunch
“Gush!! What the hell just happened? - I was close to death” I muttered, munching on the last potion of food.
My emotions soon got the better part of me, as flashes of all that happened in Ethan’s house popped into my mind.
I used the back of my hands to wipe the tears that had already gotten to my cheek.
My heart sank heavily inside my belly, while I sobbed gently.
“Exchanging words with Ethan makes me feel like a bad person, but then I can’t help it.
Because he is always the first to throw harsh words at me.
My parents, no one believes that I go through hell every time I see Ethan.”
Still sobbing, I dogged my hands and brought out my phone.
Dialed Clara’s number and waited for her to respond.
She is the only person I could freely call a friend, despite how annoying she could be at times, her love for me was genuine.
“Hey girlfriend!!” she screamed at the other side of the phone.
“I was about to dial your number when your call came in.
Hope you are getting yourself prepped up for…” She paused
Guess what?! I finally met Ethan, and babe…. He is hot!! Dewm!! You’ve got some cut hot d**k with you, I am definitely getting on that someday” she drawled in a low and flirty tone.
Not giving her the luxury of the next second, I ended the call and let out a loud hiss.
“Everyone has gone nuts, crazy, out of their mind” I sobbed letting the tears flow from my eyes profusely.
******
Ethan’s pov
I woke up just a second before my alarm rang, feeling more energised and ready to conquer the day.
Today would be the first day at work, and guess what– the beginning of Andrea miserable life
I hopped on the shower by exactly 6am. That was pretty early but I was too excited to spend an extra minute not getting prepared for work.
“I soon would be the most talked about male– which means, richer flirty b***h to f**k’ I whispered.
I turned on the warm shower and allowed it to wash off all the anxiety and uncertainty I felt.
As much as I couldn’t wait to start work, I still had some exotic feeling in me, one I couldn’t explain.
Trashing the thoughts aside, I dug myself deeper into the bathtub and enjoyed the pace it brought to my soul.
I picked up my most expensive tuxedo,merged it with a designer's black pants, and a shoe that costs more than a fortune.
I picked up a book to read while I waited for the time.
Everything around me, everything I read reminded me of Andrea.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by the doorbell to my room, darted my gaze towards the clock and smiled widely.
"Finally"
“Breakfast is served” a clam female voice spoked, bowed slightly and walked away
Mom and dad had the wildest smiles on their faces, seeing me walk down the stairs.
“I see, you can't wait to start work. Impressive" dad commented with a wide beam on his face.
We soon got done with breakfast and dad gave me the greatest warning of all times about Andrea and how I am to treat her like a queen, so she doesn't hate her new job even before she starts.
I couldn't help but chuckle at how insecure and over protective everyone was towards her.
"Well, Dad she is grown up, and I am sure she can handle herself" I said, placed a soft kiss on my moms cheeks and stepped out to avoid further annoying talks on Andrea.
"Well, well, The sun is in its glory–shining on the cutest CEO" I muttered while I strolled towards the car.
