Fated to be together or not [COMPLETED]

She is a trouble

Alex:

My Aunt called me yesterday and told me that her niece is coming and she needs my help. I don't like talking to strangers and the idea of spending time with someone I don't know, it was irritating me, but I couldn't say no to her.

I enquired about her and, to my surprise I found that she is a short tempered girl with a bad attitude. This is not what Aunty told me. She said Nicolle is a nice girl. Although her marksheet and performance in school and college were impressive, but she seemed like a spoiled girl with a friend circle which was avoided by everyone in her college. It was common for her to get in fight with anyone, including teachers and get detentions and her attendance reflected the same. How will I deal with her.

She is coming today and I had to wait for her. It will be after a very long time that I am leaving so late. When I saw her, I couldn't stop thinking that she doesn't look like someone who might slap her principal. May be I heard wrong, or she had a good reason to do that, so I offered her internship at my office. She said she will come during lunch. Seriously, you came here to study, not take rest or watch movies. So I asked her to join from next day.

I am working in my office but all I can think about is her. Is she really what I heard about her. I decided to inquire some more. But what I found shook me. She was found with drugs on campus and when principal threaten to inform her family, she slapped him, and accused him of molesting her. How could she do that? Or may be she was right. I tried to dig up more, but after finding out everything I am convinced that she is a trouble.

She was suspended. I think her family believed her, who wouldn't. She was moved to another school later. I rubbed my forehead, and thought about telling this to Uncle David. He will know what to do. I really cant work with someone who doesn't know how to follow the rules.

I talked to him yesterday night, but couldn't tell him about drug incident. May be because I didn't want to ruin her image, why am I concerned about this? But I chose not to say anything to him. I just told him that she is a trouble and I hate when someone doesn't follow my rules. I am not a great person when I am angry, so I try to keep my distance with everyone. I am quite friendly with my employees because they know if they break any rule, they need to leave the job, so they are always at their best behavior.

I knocked her room and she opened it, with a yawn. A Yawn, when I explicitly told her about my office time. Has she even heard of Alarm. And then she took 8 minutes to get ready, this is going to be great, I thought to myself and went to my car. She is obviously dragging herself. Cant she walk faster.

I was having breakfast with her when I thought I should explain her about discipline, so I started but when I looked into her eyes, I felt that she is not even interested. Huh, I shouldn't waste my energy on her. I assigned her with Hazel team. She will work with them, and I will not have to bother about her. But I was wrong. 

As soon and everyone left in the evening, she came to me and asked if we could go home. I am sure she is missing her nap, so I suggested her to either rest here, or go to her classes, or have dinner. She had a burger. Even her food choices are.... I should not comment on anyone's eating habits., so I left her with Alan, my driver and went back to finish my work. I couldn't even sleep that night. She was yelling at the top of her voice. I had to knock the door.

"Can you please keep your voice down. Unlike you, some people are trying to sleep."

"Sorry, I was talking to my brother."

"I don't care whom you are talking with, just respect the time."

I am going through some reports when Hazel came. Her feedback is quite positive and I must admit she is a fast learner. I am planning to move her to marketing team with more responsibilities. It should not impact her studies since I know she is weak in Marketing Management. I am planning to focus on that and called her to an important meeting, but here she is stuck to her phone, giggling like a kid as if she is sitting on last bench in school trying to chat during a class.

This type of behavior is not accepted in my office and if she wants to go old school, let it be. I purposely told her to make some charts, with different filters. I know she is not paying attention, and I am not going easy on her. Hazel looked at me with surprise, but when I glared back at her, she knew she is not supposed to interfere.

I saw the chart today. and its completely opposite of what I asked for. I am not habitual of people ignoring me when I am talking to them and since I can't fire her, its making me more furious.

I went to her seat and hold her by wrist and forcefully took her to my cabin. She was looking at me innocently as if nothing happened. Cool down Alex, cool down, I said to myself. 

I asked her to look at her chart. At first she couldn't understand what I was trying to say, but my glare made her look at the chart again. When she realized her mistake, she smiled sheepishly at me. No way I am letting this slip.

With a threatening voice I told her that I don't give warning, I fire. So if I had to warn her again, she can pack her belongings and get out of my office. She ran away from my cabin.

I corrected the chart in few minutes, but I wanted to teach her a lesson. Well, its my job to guide her, isn't it? So I went to her desk, and to my surprise she was packing to leave for the day. I told her that I have her study material with me for today, and until she completes her chart, she has to remain in the office. 

I was in my cabin when I thought "She might get a wrong idea why I am trying to keep her till night. She might feel insecure".

"Hazel, where are you?"

"I am on my way to home."

"If you don't mind, can you please come to office, something came up."

"Sure, I will be there in 10."

Hazel was in my cabin in 10 minutes. I explained her that I am asking Nicolle to stay till night and I don't want her to feel insecure, so can she stay with her.

"Sure Alex, I will stay with her. Do you want me to help her?"

"No, just sit by her side, and pretend to work on something important. She should not get a hint about why I asked you to stay."

I trust Hazel, and staying in office till late is not new for her. She knows there are cameras everywhere in the office and their families have access to them. There are even cameras in my cabin, at the entrance to record when someone came in and when he left. But Nicolle doesn't know about it, so it was obvious for her to feel insecure.

After what felt like eternity, she brought me the chart. I was about to ask her to leave, but she saw the print out of corrected chart on my desk. Damn, now she is attentive? Couldn't she pay attention yesterday?

She started yelling at me, so I decided to ignore her. She didn't say anything during dinner, nor during the way back to home. But my happiness was short lived. As soon as we reached home, she started to chatter again. I turned on my air pods, which I usually do when I want to ignore someone. Ahh, the music. I was walking towards my room and was about to enter when I realized that she is still talking to me.

I didn't say a word and closed the door behind me. My door is like an elevator door, with a button on the side. So when I press it, the door closes like an elevator and if I press it for little long, it closes immediately. I closed it immediately hoping that she will get the signal. Well signal or not, I closed the door, and went to bed.
