Episode 8

Olivia

Whom should I call for help?

I was cracking my brain and at the same time packing my scattered stuff.

I didn't have kitchen utensils which makes my luggage easier to carry.

I packed my bag and boarded a taxi heading back to the company not even sure of what I was doing.

" Where are you going ?" The guard stopped me.

" I have to stay all night as I've gotten some work to do" I replied perfunctorily and he opened the gate for me.

The elevator is down and I have to climb these long and everlasting stairs.

This is just too much for me!

I wobbled into my office and placed my luggage in a secret place as I fall to the hard couch.

There's no way I can get a house or apartment that will take 15k as monthly rent.

Till tomorrow then

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.

" Who is it ??" I mumbled angrily as I picked the phone from the table.

"Good morning sir," I said after hearing him scoff.

"Why aren't you at my place yet ?" He asks angrily and that's when it dawned on me that I have to bring him to the office.

"I'll be there immediately, but can you send the address ?" I ask bashfully, cos he wouldn't expect me to know his place with just being there once.

"I'll send it" he replied feebly and ended the call.

I quickly dash into the office toilet and thankfully it had a shower, I brought out my sponge case and had a very quick bath.

" What should I wear?" I stood by the luggage unsure of what to wear.

All my clothes her outdated…cloth is part of what I'm buying when I get my pay.

I picked up a long trouser and a buttoned-up top and let down my hair.

Taking the bag I used yesterday and applying just a lip gloss as I scurried out of the building.

Some workers are arriving already but I didn't say or utter a single word to anyone as I took a taxi to the address given to me.

It's said to add the money spent on my boss to his list of budget.

The car parked right in front of his mansion...

How I wish I could live here!

I tottered in and stood by the door, releasing a long sigh before knocking on the door.

The door sprawled opened just as I was about to knock for the second time.

" Help me with this " I turned to the genial voice And saw the Most Gorgeous and handsome man.

He's oozing of hotness as the suit fit perfectly on him, his Adam apple made me gulp.

I was drooling over him as he holds out his necktie at me. I was brought back to reality when he snapping his fingers at my face.

I took the necktie from him even though I didn't know how to tie it.

His cologne filled my nostrils as I closed my eyes tightly not wanting to get too attracted.

I could feel his breathing on me and I placed it on his neck and began to tie.

" Oh ok" He choke at the way I did the tie, it has grip his neck.

I'm just not perfect

" Do you want me dead?" He half yelled making me flinch and I bow to say sorry.

" I'll do it myself, just pick the files from the table and follow me" He ordered sternly and I picked it up as we scurried outside.

Ryan

There wasn't a need for her to come by my house but I just wanted to see her.

What do I even see in her?

I mean her clothes are outdated and somehow not the trend's this day so what exactly?

She almost killed me by helping me with the tie, she had better go learn cos more of this is coming.

" You go get the coffee, I'll be in the office," I said to her and she got down to jerkingly.

Olivia

There was a very long and irritating queue at the coffee shop, I stepped out of the line due to the pushing from others.

People who don't know about this place like me would say the owner is using charm because I don't understand why a coffee shop will be filled like this.

" Oli!" I looked at Charlotte right in front as she giggled happily.

" I'll wait" I hummed softly and stood by the door for support.

" Here" She held out the coffee to me

" What is this for ?" I ask raringly.

" If you don't get back to Mr. Ryan in the next five minutes you'll be out of the company and the second one is yours.." she warned.

" No sugar" She added and I smiled that she still knew me very well.

" I'll come to your department when I'm less busy," I said and patted her upper back whilst scurrying out of the shop.

Thank goodness I met her.

I looked through the glass separating his office from mine and he was in already. He was about to take off his jacket and I couldn't help but watch the way his muscles flex underneath his shirt as he removes his jacket slowly.

" Stop it old!" I cautioned myself because I was already drinking into his magnificent muscles.

I took a deep breath as I stood by the door after knocking, " come in" His deep husky voice called at me.

He was sitting by his desk, concentrated on his computer not even bothering to check who just came in.

I walked towards him and just as I was about to place the coffee on the table, he looked directly into my eyes.

I've always thought of what it would be like to see that blue eyes of his clearer and that's what I'm getting now when I heard him say; " Miss Hathway, are you okay ?"

I snapped out of the silly thought, shocked by the way he called me and I just realized I was still holding his coffee.

Way to go Oli!

I mistakenly put the cup of coffee in the wrong position, making it slip down the table as almost half of the contents pour on his thighs.

" I'm so sorry sir, I had a rough night" I lied to save myself whilst dusting his bulging thigh.

" Sorry??" He half yelled and I could feel shivers run down my spine.

"Wait a sec, you didn't get enough sleep? " He asks curiously, stealing a glance at me.

"No" I countered.

"If not sleeping well or having a rough night as you said will make you act absent-minded at work then try to get more sleep" He replied harshly and I nod.

" Okay sir" I rasped hastily.

"Also about the new project, it'll be held up for now so concentrate on how to fully satisfy me" He explained.

Satisfy you?

Am I your woman?

" What..." I stopped as I wanted to go further.

" Okay sir" I hummed.

" You can go" He ordered but I didn't leave and I wanted to clean up the place.

" Just go" He half yelled and I scuttled out without waiting another second.

Oh goodness!- I breathed out heavily as the tension I felt in there was too much to take in.

Ryan

She had a rough night

Something held her up and it would surely have been her lover.

The thought of her being lovey-dovey with someone else made anger riled up in me and I've gotten a plan to make her stay late at work today.

Olivia

I sat down, sipping in the coffee Charlotte gave earlier as I scrolled through his schedule.

Thank goodness I'm not in charge of the project anymore, I think I lost interest already.

" He has a lunch meeting with Alexis and Co" I whispered to myself.

Since I'm idle I can just use that time to check through the housing website.

I was too lost on the computer and didn't know someone was at my back. I gasp at the sudden appearance of Charlotte.

" I thought about what you could be doing that you're so lost into it, housing website?"She chuckled softly.

"Perhaps you need an apartment !?" She asks curiously, patting her hair.

" Hmm no " I replied dejectedly.

"What are you hiding from me? " She asks and I furrowed my eyebrows innocently.

" I'm your friend Oli" She continued and that melts my heart.

" Okay, okay, fine, I'll tell you," I said to her and she hastened to grab a chair.

After telling me how my life has been floppy in the past days she was too worried.

" So, that's it" I finally concluded and she stood up to hug me.

" The thing is that I have an extra room at my place so why not just stay with me till you get a good place" She suggested something that could make me roll on the floor happily.

" Really ??" I exclaimed loudly hoping Mr. Romans wouldn't hear us

" I'm sure, Live with me !" She said with a beautiful smile.
