Mila Crystals is Important To Me.

She gasped moving back.

"Am sorry, I rushed in and didn't see you " she muttered looking away.

He took a step forward but she moved back stopping him.

Damien met her scared gaze as she looked around the curious looks upon them.

"It's alright, take your place "he said turning around.

Mila walked past him and rushed beside Samantha.

"Morning, "he said.

"Morning boss "they all answered.

He sat down and his answer took over, passing the new rules to everyone.

He turned to them.

"You break one, you fired, "he said.

They all went through them sighing.

His eyes were on Mila who wasn't even raising her head.

He got up, "That's all, Miss Crystals come to my office "

Damien walked out.

Mila could feel everyone instantly look at her.

"Hi, he asked for you. You need to go " said Samantha.

Mila got up took her things and ran out.

She stood at his door for minutes without going in.

Why of all places would he appear at her workplace...worse of all her new boss.

She sighed.

She had kissed her boss and got rejected. Mila wanted to scream even more.

"Will you stand there all day?" she heard his voice say.

She took another deep breath and knocked.

"Come in, "he said.

She walked in and closed the door.

"You requested for me?" she said.

"Look at me, "he said.

Mila's head was down not moving.

"Mila, look at me, "he said again.

Slowly she raised her head and met his gaze.

He got up and walked to where she was.

"Are you angry at me?"

She blinked shaking her head.

"No, why would I be "

"You can't look me in the eye and pretend not to know me, "he said.

She gulped.

"We don't know each other that much & your my new boss here "

"Mila we do know each other "he said.

"We did but not anymore...now you are my new boss" she replied

"Being your boss doesn't mean I don't know you, Mila" he moved to hold her hand but before she pulled away.

"Am sorry for all the trouble I caused you during our time together. But let's forget it all, now we are just a boss and an employee " she said.

"Is that what you want?" he asked.

"Yes, "she said.

He was silent for a while then answered.

"Okay "

"Thank you, director, "she said.

"You can leave" he turned walking back to his seat.

Mila walked out finally breathing.

She bumped into Rian. He looked at her angrily taking her hand they walked out.

"You hurting me Rian, stop " she cried.

"What was that all about, how do you know the new director" he asked.

"I don't he just looked familiar " that's all.

He scoffed, "You really a good liar...we all heard him call your name clearly "

Mila blinked.

"Please believe me I don't know him. "she took his hands.

"Hi,dont touch me like that...we are not dating anymore " he said.

"But...you promised me we would never break up...and we only had a small disagreement, "she said.

Rian burst into laughter.

"My God, how dense can you be Mila? Please stop being a fool, I broke up with you so long ago .it's you. who hasn't seen it yet? Can't you see we are not a match " he said.

Mila moved to hold his hand but he pushed her away. She fell back scraping her palms.

He walked away without looking back.

She burst into tears. And just like that she was a failure, dense, liar and useless.

She cried out loud.

...

Mila stepped out of the washrooms after cleaning her face, but her red swollen eyes did nothing to hide her pain.

She walked back to the office and took her seat. Going straight to work.

Damien's assistant walked out of his office with him. He stood back as she commanded their attention.

"There will be a small change...Miss Mila Crystals will be the new secretary of the director starting today " she said.

Mila gasped standing up.

Damien met her gaze and frowned.

She looked away.

Damien moved towards her and Mila bit her lip.

Finally reaching where she was, his hand moved to her face but Mila avoided it.

"Who made you cry?" he asked.

"Ahh..." she looked up at him

"Was it me, was it what I said?" he asked loudly enough for everyone to hear.

"No, it wasn't...something else did," she said.

"Who was it?" he asked.

Mila breathed raising her hands, "No one... it's nothing "

His frown got closer, she noticed where he was looking. Her palms.

Mila took away her hands but it was too late he grabbed them.

"Tell me who it was?" he asked.

The whole atmosphere in the office had changed.

"Am okay... it's nothing. They are just small bruises " she said.

He sighed turned and looked around.

"Am letting you all know this...Mila Crystals is important to me and anyone who harms her ,even a scratch will face me " he said.

Taking her wrist he lead her away.

"Call Ian right now, "he said to his assistant.

"Ahh, I said I was fine. You dont need to call him here for this " Mila protested but Damien didn't mind and kept taking her away.

They all heard the door to his office close as they both entered.
