Fated to be together or not [COMPLETED]

First Day

I was studying till late when I heard some voices. I came out and saw that Alex had come and he was talking to my uncle David about something. I couldn't hear so I turned back towards my room, but stood still after realizing Alex was saying something, about me. Why me? I thought.

"No doubt she is quite intelligent and has a perfect record if you talk about her academics, but I can see that she lacks discipline. She was never on time in her college, used to miss her classes, her friend circle was not appreciated among lecturers and most important she slapped her principal and she was suspended because of that. I tried to get more information about why she did that, but all I could get was that she argued with him, and when he didn't agree to what she was saying she slapped him. If she had a good reason for that, then she should have done more than a just a slap, but if its only because he didn't agree to her group demands, that's serious. And you know I hate people that don't respect discipline". he said while rubbing his forehead, clearly frustrated. Uncle tried to explain him but he started to say something else and I couldn't hear it. 

How can he judge me without knowing the truth. Who the hell does he think he is. And how does he got so much information about me. Did he stalked me. Uggh, its just a day and I am already getting irritated. That's why I didn't want to come here. Nobody knows the truth and believe in half cooked stories. I was a straight A student in my school and college. Sure I am short tempered, but that doesn't mean anyone can say anything about me. Has he even looked at himself? Who calls his mother by name? Everyone is so nice here but he is just... Is he adopted, he sure doesn't has nature like everyone else. With all these thoughts running in my mind, I tried to sleep. 

7:00 am I heard a loud knock on my door which broke my beauty sleep. I opened the door to find Alex in front of me looking at me completely shocked. 

"You are joining today, right? Why aren't you ready then? Did I not tell you that I don't allow late comers in my office?"

"Yeah, just wait I will get ready in 5 minutes". 

Impossible, I heard him say under his breadth while closing the door. I quickly went to bathroom, and got ready by 7:08 am, and he was waiting impatiently at my door, pacing back and forth. He looked at me as if I was an hour late.

I signaled what?, and he just shook his head and started walking, more like running for me. I followed him in his car and we drove to his office.

The building was quite big and his office was located on the top floor. I followed him to the elevator and was surprised to see no one was there. 

He stopped before entering his room, and said "3rd cubicle on the right". I couldn't understand and asked "Huh?" He turned to me and said "Your seat, 3rd cubicle on the right. That's where you will be sitting. Everyone will be here by 8 am. Once they are here, I will introduce you to the team and then you can start working. Till then, you can study or do whatever you want. And from tomorrow I want you ready by 6:50 am"

I was about to ask about breakfast but he left and entered his cabin. I was so hungry and sleepy and bored and sleepy, couldn't even find the coffee machine to help me wake up. While I was thinking about all of this, someone tapped my shoulder and I looked with a jerk.

"Alex, you scared me".

"No need to be scared, this is a safe workplace", he said and asked me to follow him. He took me to a room, which had a large fridge, toaster, microwave, coffee machine and a stovetop. He stepped forward, opened the fridge and took out bread and asked me if I wanted bread, jam, butter, egg, pancake, cereal? I said anything is fine. He took out bread, butter and jam. made 2 coffee and we started having our breakfast in complete silence.

He broke it after a while and said "I don't like to manipulate things, so I will tell you straight. I talked to some of your teachers, lecturers, your classmates and friends. While you are a quick learner, and I am highly impressed by your performance in school and college, I was not happy to hear about other things and I think you know what I am talking about. If you really want to achieve something, have some discipline in your life. I know I may sound like a teacher, but Aunty asked me to guide you, so I am sharing first lesson with you. Knowledge is great if you have discipline, otherwise its of no use."

We finished our breakfast and left the room. Everyone was there by the time we reach my cubicle and he called few of his employees and introduced me as someone who applied for internship. But what surprised me the most was that he was laughing, I mean not smile, it was carefree laugh. He was so friendly with his employees that I couldn't believe that he was the same person who doesn't even talk to his siblings.

I became instant friend with Hazel. She is leading the team I am working with and is highly energetic. She told me later that he is the best boss anyone can ask for but yeah, he doesn't tolerate anything out of line, and is extremely strict when it comes to rules. I attended few meetings and by 4:30 everyone left the office. I stared at him

"When are we leaving?"

Without looking at me, he said "Alan will drop you to your classes, they start at 6, right? I will call him and you can leave now or later, its up to you."

"And You?"

"That's not something you should bother about. Your classes are 6 to 8. If you wish, I can call for dinner, have it before your classes, or you will feel hungry and sleepy in your class."

Since it was only 4:30, I agreed to have a snack, since I usually take my dinner late night. I asked if we can go out and have a burger, he stood up hesitantly and took me to a nearby Burger King.

I love burgers and by the look on his face, I am sure he has never even tasted a burger in his life. His loss, I thought as I completed my burger. I left for my class and he left for his office.

Once I was back at 9, I was completely tired. I had to wake up at 7 and no power nap during the day and on top of that, I will have to be ready by 6:50 tomorrow morning. I called Max and cursed him for convincing Mom and Dad. He was laughing non-stop as I was shouting on him, on the top of my voice. I only realized that it was 12:30 am, when Alex knocked my door and asked me to drop my voice as others were sleeping. Was he not sleeping? When does he sleep then. I looked at the clock and tried to sleep as I had to wake up early.... Groaning, and complaining I dropped on my bed.
