"We meet again." My breath hitched.
Oh God, he was the guy at the hall way the other day at the library. He looks more handsome and breathtaking.
"Happy to see me?" He asked. I opened my mouth to say something but I closed it back.
Of course, I am happy to see him. I said I'm my mind.
"Have a seat, Miss Marshal." I walked to the seat in front of him and sat down.
"Thank you." I looked down at my black skirt.
"You are here for an interview" what kind of question is that? What will be here for in the first place, if not for the interview?
"Yes sir" I answered
"Why should you be employed here?" He asked. What sought of question is that?
"Because I am capable of performing various responsibilities in this company sir and I can assure you that I will not disappoint you sir." I assured him.
"What makes you think I will employ you here Hayley Marshal?" He asked and I started looking at him not knowing what to say.
"I'm asking you a question" he reminded me.
"Like I said sir, I'm capable of performing any responsibility in your organization which will be of great profit to the company." I answered uncomfortably. The way he was looking at me was not helping my discomfort.
"Welcome to Agrippa and Son Oil Company. You have been given a job as my Personal Assistant Miss Hayley Marshal" he gave me his hand and I shook it. Just like that, I'm employed.
I flinched immediately when our hands meet.
"You start today. The secretary will show you your office. We will meet in an hour Miss Marshal"
I was so happy. I have gotten the job.
I was thanking God for giving me the job in my mind.
"Thank you Mr" He never told me his name so I didn't know how to answer him.
"Damon Agrippa" he answered. His name is beautiful just like his eyes.
Snap out of it Hayley, answer the man already. My subconscious mind reminded me.
"Thank you Mr Damon Agrippa"
"See you soon in an hour princess" I smiled at the word princess. How I wish I could be his princess?
Hayley leave the room before he knows you thinking about him. My subconscious mind said.
"Okay" With that I left my boss's office and went straight to the secretary.
"Hi Miss. I wanna thank you for today and also Mr Damon asked you to show me my office"
"First of all, I'm married" she said showing me her hand. It saw a beautiful diamond ring on her finger. It was beautiful.
"I'm sorry" I apologized
"No problem dear. Secondly, I prefer Isabelle. Thirdly, follow me" I followed her to my office. It was close to the boss's office.
Why the hell did he allow me go to the first floor, when his office is closed to mine?
Why did he make me go through the stress of going to the first floor? That peacock. He need someone to set him straight.
"Thank you Isabelle" I showed my gratitude with a beautiful smile.
"No problem dear. If you are less busy, I could show you around" she offered which I firmly agreed.
"OK. Thanks again. I will see you soon"
With that, she left. She is an angel
"If you need anything, you know where to find me" I thought she had left. I laughed before telling her
"Sure" she finally left.
The office phone started ringing, I picked it up and answered it.
"Miss Hayley Marshal. My office now" he shouted. I flinched.
"Okay sir."
I reached his office and knocked the door. I heard "Come in" and I went in.
"How many hours will it take you to answer the f*****g phone?"
Why is mad at me now? I barely did anything. He told me to go to the first floor when he knew fully well that my office was close to it.
"Ehm---" I was shut of words at his rude attitude.
"Save it" he cut in by raising his hand making flinch.
What have I done? I just got this job and I walk into this on my first day? This is going to be a bloody bad day for me.
"Sir, I went to Isabelle like you said I should in order for her to show my office"
"I meant Emma not Isabelle." He shouted like I knew anything.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know" I answered truthfully.
"How would you?" What kind of question is that?
"I'm new here sir. I'm sorry" I answered back angrily.
"Who told you to even talk back when I'm talking to you?" He asked.
"I'm sorry sir"
"Shut up and stop apologizing, human" he said gritting his teeth.
What an arrogant junk. He thinks cos he is boss he can talk to me rudely. In your dream buddy.
All this answers were in my mind. I am sure as hell I can say that to him.
"No you shut up and relax" I said before I realized what I said. I just told my boss to shut up.
"What did you just say?" He said while moving forward and I moved backwards.
"Nothing" My mouth won't put me into trouble. Hayley keep your mouth shut.
"Did you just say I should shut up?" He asked me in amusement. I was relieved a little.
Thank God. I didn't remember his question. What did he even ask? Hayley think. Think fast.
He was to close to me. His breath was fanning my face. His eyes were on my lips.
PRINCE DAMON POV.
EARLIER TODAY.
I was sitting at the office when my dad called.
"Hello Father. It's good to hear from you after two years."
"Hello son. How are you doing? I hope you haven't killed any human yet?" Dad questioned.
"I'm fine dad and yes, I haven't killed any human yet" not yet dad. Not yet but soon. Soon enough and then, they will all pay.
"I heard the two winners have been employed."
"Yes Dad. They have." I replied.
"I told you before you left, you must have a human girlfriend until you find your mate, you must have a human room mate and your P.A must be human but now I've changed my mind" he stated.
I hope he said yes because I am tired of staying in this pathetic mundane world.
"Indeed?" I asked to be sure I heard right.
"Indeed son. You will fulfil those responsibilities but one of those two contestant would be your room mate, girlfriend and personal assistant"
"Now what?" I asked with a lackadaisical attitude.
"You heard me and I have chosen the perfect girl for you"
"What? Who have you decided to select, Father?" I said amusingly
"Miss Hayley Marshal."
Immediately he mentioned her name, my face changed from amusement to anger. He knows when to hit the wrong spot.
Why must it be her among all humans? Why is he looking for a way to provoke me?
"Dad? You can't do this."
"Oh I can and I will." With that, he hang up.
What? Why would he do this to me? I'm his son for Pete sake not his employee.
I called Hayley's office for several hours.
Why the hell is she not picking her calls. I called her again and finally, she picked the call.
"Miss Hayley Marshal. My office now" I shouted. That pathetic human would be my human girlfriend. I ruffled my hair. This is gonna be one hell of a morning.
HAYLEY'S POV.
PRESENT HOUR.
His lips were close to mine.
"I'm so sorry. I won't say that again"
"Of course. You won't."
He went back to his seat and I release the breath I was holding.
"Get ready, pack your stuff. You'll be living with me"
What did he just say?
"What?"
"You heard me. Pack your things, my driver will bring you to my apartment."
"But why?"
"Do I need to give you an explanation, your highness?" I shook my head.
"Good, I'll see you later" I nodded. I left the office.
Why must I live with him? Why must I? What is happening? Everything in my life will change cos of this.
I was deep in thought until a voice interrupted me. My best friend's voice.
"Hayley?" Emma called me.
"Emma" I went to hug her.
"Is that you? You look more beautiful." Emma complemented.
"You look exceptionally beautiful. So how are you and my brother? I heard you've moved in with him" I asked.
"We are both fine and yes, I moved in with him."
"We'll talk later. I don't want Damon to get mad." Emma said. I gasped when Emma called him Damon not Mr Agrippa or Mr Damon.
"You call him by his first name?" She nodded.
"He said we should call him by his first name. Any problem?" She asked
"He hates me so much. I don't know what I ever did to him Emma. He has been mean to me ever since I came here and now he asked me to move in with him." I answered sadly.
"Don't mind him. That is how he is. He's popularly known as the sadist." She consoled me.
"Wait a minute, you said something about him asking you to move in with him" she asked to be sure she heard right.
I nodded.
"Oh my goblin,don't tell me you are his personal assistant." She asked.
"I am" I said.
"I pray you don't die while working for him" she laughed.
"Why?" I was confused with what she said. Why would I die while working for him?
"I don't know. I just heard. Gossip spread you know?" she said.
"I will see you later. Bye. Oh and come visit us some times okay?" I nodded assuring I will.
"Of course. Bye." I waved back and turned to leave only to meet Damon's angry eyes.
"Miss Marshal, you are still here" I nodded.
"Yes sir. I'm still here. I just saw a friend. I'm sorry. I will just take my leave" I apologized.
"Stop apologizing" he said gritting his teeth. Why is he always mad at me? What did I do to him to make him angry this time?
"I am sorry Damon. I will just leave." I said. I quickly turned and started walking to the door when I felt a hand caught my wrist and pulled me. I gasped and crashed on Damon's chest
"What did you just call me?" I looked at him with confusion in my eyes.
"Did you just call me Damon?" I looked at his eyes only to see amusement in it.
I didn't answer because all I could think about was Damon hands on my waist and our breath mixing together.
"Did. You. Just. Call. Me. Damon?" I don't know why he was mad because all I could think about was how beautiful his face was
