Working for my Cold Hearted Ex

Chapter5

Chapter 5

He dropped a file on the table and told me to go through it.

I was still in shock and just nodded like a dummy? What happened? Is this his twin? But Ace didn’t have a twin. I’m convinced this is not a dream anymore.

Inside the file is list of rules I have to abide by if I want my stay here to last.

RULE NO 1- Don’t call me by my name.

Oh well, I just broke that. I’m lucky he spared me. I don’t know where I would start from if I lost this job.

NO 2- Don’t touch me.

What is he? Who does he think he is? I rolled my eyes.

NO 3- I don’t tolerate lateness.

No 4- Don’t miss out any schedules or you are out.

NO 5- Do not disobey me, annoy me or dare me.

Okay, this is crazy. Is he a god or something. This is not just someone else.

This is ACE. My freaking Ex!

I faced him when I finished reading and I don’t know why, but I am scared of him.

“I am done” I said.

He gave me a look.

“I’m done, boss” I corrected myself feeling the urge to grab his neck and strangle him to death.

“Check the back page” he said and I nodded and removed my gaze from him.

It has the list of things I have to do as his assistant. It isn’t so hard. I can survive this, right?

*****************

I left the company in the evening around 7. According to him, I can only leave when he leaves.

He left around 6 and I couldn’t be happier. The day was just me getting to know about the company and what my work entails.

I still find it hard to believe my boss is my Ex. When I got home, the bathroom was the first place I visited. I had my bath and wore my pajamas once I am done.

I dried my hair and strolled out of the bedroom. Ari wasn’t currently in the house but her bag was in the living room which means she is around.

I went to the kitchen and ate the sandwich I found in the fridge.

Once done, I went back to my room and laid on the bed. I brought out my phone and the first application I opened is Google.

Taking a deep breath, I typed ACE KINGSTON and clicked on the search icon.

~ACE KINGSTON~

A young billionaire of 25 years. The owner of the textile industry named KING.STON. It was built three years ago and is one of the biggest textile industry in California today.

I stopped reading and checked his pictures. He has a straight face in all.

I left google and checked i********:. Finding him was easy and I started going through all his pictures. The account was created 4 years ago but already has tons of followers.

I heard a knock on the door.

“Ari?” I asked.

“Yes” she said and opened the door and entered closing the door behind her.

“I was around the neighborhood. Didn’t know when you arrived” She said.

“I entered not too long ago.” I said.

“So...how was your first day at work?” She asked sitting on my bed.

“You are interested?” I asked in surprise.

“Yes of course. I’m happy for you” She said.

How do I even start?

“It was okay. The only problem is my boss. The egocentric devil” I frowned.

“Oh oh. Tell me about him” she said as her attention moved to my phone that was with me.

“Who is this?” She asked in interest.

I was still on Ace’s page and his picture was in view.

“My boss” I rolled my eyes.

“Wow. He is Hot!” Ari said and snatched my phone from his hand.

She looked at his pic with widened eyes and looked at me.

“Okay. I know he is your boss but I really want to f**k him. Even if it’s just once”

“Ari!”

“What?” She shrugged.

“It isn’t even possible. He’s cold and isn’t easy to get” I said.

Should I add he is my ex and I know him so well?

I decided not to. Ari doesn’t need to know that.

“What do you mean? I can get any guy I want. This dude is not an exception” she said with confidence.

I laughed. “Just forget about it, Ari” I said.

“I will get him,Mark my words” she said with so much seriousness and I knew she isn’t joking.

But I don’t give a damn. She can f**k him if she wants.

The next day...

“You have a meeting with Mr Jones by 2pm” I said to Ace who was concentrated on his laptop.

I have been standing for the past two hours now since I arrived and my legs were aching.

He finally removed his gaze from the laptop and took some cash from his briefcase and dropped it on the table.

“Get me Beijing Roasted Duck (Chinese food) the Chinese restaurant at Mulholland drive. I give you 20 minutes. If you are 1 min late, you are fired” he said with a strict voice.

My eyes widened. Wait, what?

I’m his assistant, not his slave. Is sending me errands part of my job?

“1 min is gone” he said and I rushed out of the office. I rushed back in. Our eyes locked and I gave a nervous smile. I took the money on the table and rushed out back.

As I passed some of the staffs, I heard someone say. “She is just starting. The CEO’s assistants faces hell. I usually feel for them”

I didn’t have the time to look at the person who made the statement.

So this is how he treats his previous assistants? No wonder they don’t last.

I took a cab to the restaurant. It wasn’t that far to the company but my heart kept drumming against my chest.

“Please drive faster” I urged the cab man.

When we got to the restaurant, I told him to wait so he can take me back. I bought what he asked me to buy and it was packaged in a Take away.

I paid for it and left immediately. I entered the cab back and it drove me back to the company.

On getting to the company, I used the elevator and kept tapping my feet on the floor as I checked the time.

I have just a minute left.

The elevator finally stopped and I rushed out and ran to his office. I opened the door and ran into Ace who was probably on his way out of the office too.

My head hits his chest. I hurriedly moved away and our hands brushed against each other.

My eyes widened and I looked at him in fear. I just broke his first rule.

~DO NOT TOUCH ME~

I’m dead.
