Love Hurts

Chapter 8

______________________________________________

I didn't mean to eavesdrop on Arthur but I was curious about who Felix was to him. He was different from Arthur, he was warm and accommodating while Arthur is cold, mean, rude, and selfish just mentioning anything that had to do with a bad person.

He tried to keep me busy with the notepads, he told me to read the reports on them and email them to him. Why can't he read it himself? I glanced through the notepads and stopped at a particular one, it reads, 'online service drops by nine percent this month' I was tempted to read more and I did.

I mailed the reports to him and decided to rest my head a little, I didn't know when Felix left.

Arthur placed a bunch of reports on my desk waking me up, "read these and mail them to me before four," he veered to leave but I stopped him.

"Shouldn't I follow you?"

"You don't have to, this is a private business," he grinned.

"You don't trust me, do you?"

"I don't, and get back to work," he turned to leave again and I stopped him.

I stared at him for a while," do you perhaps hate women?"

He turned his head sideways looking at e with a smile on his face. He looks kinda creepy with that smile, he rarely smiles.

"I love women a lot, I do," he paused, "but you...I'm not interested in you"

He walked away instantly, I sat down with a parted mouth. I couldn't even say anything, does he think I like guys like him. I can't believe this, but one thing is that he's not gay, right?

It's been a week working with Arthur, he doesn't let me follow him anywhere only if he wants to torture me with the heels, he would ask me to follow him around the whole building. He's a total asshole. I had to learn how to turn notes into pdf, write down his meeting with the shareholders, how to photocopy paper, how direct a call, and just mention anything.

He called in today, telling me he won't be around. I decided to look for Ella, I haven't seen her for some days now. It was kinda difficult to locate her, she wasn't in her office but I was told she went to brew coffee. I quickly got down to the kitchen, I her saw standing next to the brewing machine.

"Ella," I called, waving at her. She was surprised seeing but she quickly smiled to cover it.

"Rose, I thought you got fired already"

"What are you talking about?"

She took a little sip from her coffee," Beth, told me Arthur doesn't want to work with you, and since then I've not seen you and I thought you got fired"

"No, I didn't," I rolled my eyes," who is that Beth, isn't that the rude girl that came to my office with Arthur?"

"Yeah, she works in HR also, I sent her to explain some things to him, no need to worry"

"Alright, but I have a question"

She placed her coffee down quickly, "what's that? You can ask me anything"

"Who is Felix Norman?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Come on, he came to meet Arthur a few days ago and he told me_," I moved to her and whispered into her ear," he's Arthur's brother"

She chuckled loudly, I was kinda embarrassed seeing her laugh like that, "why are you laughing?"

She tried to stop herself, "I'm sorry if you feel bad, but Felix is not Arthur's brother, they are cousins"

"Cousins? Do you mean Felix is Mr.Wilson's son?"

"Yes, that's actually"

"But why is Felix's last name Norman instead of Wilson"

"Come on, you don't know his full name?" she asked and I shook my head, "His name is Mr. Wilson Norman, he just likes using Wilson"

"Okay, I get that, but Felix doesn't work in an airline," I was trying to gather more facts from Ella, she knows everything.

"He works here also, he manages the plane's hostess and the services they offer, it's different from what Arthur does, he practically owns the company"

I think I got what Ella is trying to say, Arthur controls all departments while Felix manages a few parts of the departments.
