CHAPTER ONE: GETTING FIRED
ANNA POV
I stood at the side, with my hands behind my back and head bowed down.
I wished the earth would just open and swallow me, as I awaited my verdict that determines if I could make up for this week and the previous week for my mom's cancer drugs.
Before I could get lost into my thoughts.
The boss..of where I work as an artist suddenly looked at me with an apologitic look in his eyes,"Anna; from tomorrow you don't have to resume work.
I nodded just like I have expected but I couldn't help but feel heartbroken because my mum's cancer drug of the previous and current week depends on my pay for this particular portrait, which I somehow managed to fumble.it was partially not my fault since she didn't communicate her wants before the deadline, she had only said she wants a portrait of her boyfriend before the given deadline. in my defense, my only offense was making a realistic portrait instead of the pointillistic portrait she asked for few minutes to the deadline.
I sighed..and looked at the woman who was wearing an evil smirk clearly satisfied with the outcome of the situation which was purely caused by miscommunication, I despise rich people like this,who thinks the world revolves around them " that will teach you to listen to instructions next time", she said arrogantly, something snapped inside me, angry, I retorted "cool, want a medal for pointing that out?", I rolled my eyes and walked out without waiting for her response.
I could still feel her glaring at me even as I walked far away from the office, but if I should let that bother me then my priorities are not straight.I let my thoughts drift thinking to my self where do I start looking for a new job.
still lost in thought, I didn't notice a figure approaching me, I bumped into a hard chest.the suddenness broke my train of thought and I was about apologizing even as I wasn't the one who caused the collision, when a cold voice entered my ears "Are your eyes at the back of your head? do you need glasses",I was stunned and wanted to use my pent up frustration to reply,only for me to look up and my eyes widen in shock..OH.... MY..FUCKING..GODDNESS.
Do men like this still exist? standing before me is the most handsome man I have ever seen.
He is so handsome,not in a greasy way but he had that aura, that appearance which could make him stand out in crowds. Fair, smooth and radiant skin.His unfathomable, golden brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face.thin lips, straight nose and a sharp slender jawline..omg..i gulped..His eyes deep and piercing stared at me intensely that for a second I forgot where I am.suddenly his face turned cold before I could comprehend what was going on I saw those lips stretch open and he just had to open his mouth.
"use your eyes when moving about?"; he said coldly before stepping back and putting a ridiculous distance between us . I rolled my eyes and looked up irritably "Excuse you, can't you see you were the one who bumped into me ", I said sarcastically and for a minute I saw an amused look flash past his eyes before it quickly disappeared.
"clearly, you were the one with drifted thoughts and you ran into me", he said his jaw tickling, clearly irritated.was this man trying to blame me till the end? he was simply unreasonable.
"so you're trying to tell me it is entirely my fault?",I said with a frown on my face.
"look, I don't have time for this rubbish, I am late for a meeting ", with that he walked off.
I looked at him as he walked and glared at his back even though he can't see me.
That bastard!
who raised such a jerk?
