The New Boss.

Mila opened her eyes the next morning to find herself in bed. She breathed looking around to see no one.

The door suddenly opened and two women walked in. One seems older.

"Morning, mistress, "she said.

"Morning, who are you?" she asked

"Oh am the caretaker Joy and she's the maid who will serve you until your stay with us ends" she said

Mila frowned, "Where is Damien "

"Master Damien had to leave this morning for an emergency," she said.

"Did he say when he will be back?" she asked.

"Am sorry, he didn't let us know ".

Mila sighed.

They helped her with her bath and into new clothes they had got her.

Gave her food and a new phone.

She was in the living room the next day when Ian arrived.

"You look much better," he said after cheekily her would.

He took Off the bandages.

"Can I leave now ?" she asked him

"You want to leave ".

"Yes, my wound is healed and the person am waiting for doesn't seem to return". He could hear the sadness in his voice.

He sighed.

"I can give you a ride if you. need one " he offered.

She smiled.

After packing the clothes she had. Mila thanked the two women for taking care of her and left.

Joy ran offer her.

"Miss Mila, do you have any message for Master?" she asked.

Mila breathed.

She didn't know what happened after they kissed but his disappearing after meant he had regretted it.

She looked away.

"No "she muttered.

Ian drove them off and noticed her eyes on the huge house behind her.

He got her to the city leaving her at the station.

"Will you be okay here?" he asked.

"Yes, thank you, Doctor Ian " she smiled. Mila waved after him and then turned to head home.

....

"And here she returns, I thought you had decided to run away " yelled her mother.

"Am sorry mother, something happened?" she said.

Her father walled in welcoming her.

"Do you have anything to add to that lie...all you do is lie and disobey us, you ungrateful child "

Mila slowly pulled away the sleeves of her shirt to expose the healing wounds on her arm.

Her mother fell speechless while her father sighed.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I got attacked by wolves only way back, "she said.

"It must have been horrible," he said.

Mila nodded pouting.

"Must have just fallen somewhere in the snow....you can't expect me to believe wolves attacked you " her mother said leaving.

Soon the holiday was over and everyone was rushing to work.

Mila bumped into her best friend at the entrance of the company she worked for.

"Welcome back, bestie" They hugged each other.

"I missed you so bad " cried Samantha.

"Same here, a lot happened to me," said Mila.

"Smells like gossip...tell me later during lunch," she said.

They headed inside.

"Did you hear Mila, the new boss will be coming in today?" she said.

"I forgot all about the partnership"

"Well I heard rumours, that his mean one...doest even smile " said Sam.

Mila laughed, "Come on Sam those are rumours, let's just wait for him "

Valeria walked in.

"Can you two stop your blabbering and head to the meeting room "

Mila frowned watching her leave.

"I hate her so much, just because she's the head of staff she can order us like that ". Said Samantha.

Mila noticed Rian and got up.

"Go ahead I will catch up later " she said to her friend running after her boyfriend.

"Rian, Rian...." she called.

He seemed to be ignoring her. But she caught up to him.

"What?" he yelled.

"Can we talk?" she said.

"Talk about what Mila...I thought Valeria made it clear " he said.

Mila blinked., "So you knew...but am confused what does it all mean "

He scoffed, "Your dump as I thought...I never actually liked you. Did all that pretend to get you to do all those things for us around the office? But you. took it too far and it our parents involved. So I had to stop it " he said.

"Stop it...is that why she was there instead of me? She's the woman you. have been seen behind my back " Mila let out.

He chuckled.

"You were the other woman Mila not Valelria. Please let's stop here, I can't pretend anymore "

Mila felt her tears sting."But I told my parents we would be married this year and...and...."

"Oh my God stop...this is now starting to piss me off" He grabbed her arm, "Listen here, Mila...

I never liked you and I don't think I will ever " he said.

He jerked her off and walked away. She felt something pierce her heart cold and suffocating pain spread through her whole body. She staggered but held on.

The meeting she remembered, pushing her pain and tears away, Mila wiped her tears and walked back into the office.

She walked in rushing and bumped into someone. She heard everyone gasp.

"Am sorry "she apologized looking up.

He turned to look at her.

Mila fell silent as her eyes landed on a very familiar face.

Those deep clear blue eyes, pale white skin, red lips and that long silver-white hair.

It was him.

"You " she muttered.

"Mila "he let out softly.
