"I love that name!"
"So??"
"I will think about it." Stacie said.
"YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!" Alan yelled.
"Thank You" Stacie smiled. They exchanged contacts, and Stacie went back to Nova.
"He told me he was in love with me"
"HECK IMPOSSIBLE!"Nova laughed.
"Its true. He really said it." They got another cab that took them straight home. Nova closed the room door and buried her face in her sheets again. She cried so hard, remembering that horrible day. The day she nearly got raped. Starting from when he scared her, slapped her, pressed her against her sofa and told her.
"NO ONE, WILL EVER LOVE YOU"
"Homie! What are you thinking about!" Stacie yelled as she threw a pillow.
"Am sorry Stacie" She looked up and Stacie gasped.
"WHY THE HELL ARE YOU CRYING AGAIN? YOU HAVE THE JOB, WHY ARE YOU STILL CRYING? Is it about Roman? Are you afraid, he'll still be a mean bully?? Girl, he is a President! He won't be that mean jerk anymore. Now come here" Stacie pulled her in a hug as Novalie cried.
"Let's go have some ice-cream." Stacie and Nova had so much fun that day, and a very good sleep. It was another day, and Stacie went to the other bathroom to get ready. She wore a crop top and blue jeans and let her curls down. Her phone rang from her purse.
"Hello"
"This is Alan. Its Sophie right?"
"Stacie is my name."
"Okay, i wanted to ask if you have thought about it." Alan said.
"Um...yeah, i could actually give this a shot."
"Wow! Thanks Stacie, i wish i can hug you right now!"
"I will be there soon." Stacie smiled.
"Is this gonna be your first relationship?" Alan asked.
"Yes Alan. Well i have my bag with me, am going outside...grabbing my lunch and out of the house...shutting the door."
"Haha, you are so funny" A few hours later, Nova woke up with a yawn.
"OH NO! I OVERSLEPT!" She jumped up and wore her flip flops. She hit her head and fell back on the bed.
"Ouch! I forgot to take off my sleeping mask." She took it off and ran into the bathroom. She came out in a robe, and opened her closet. She scattered all her outfits and remembered Roman's words:
"Promise me, you will look attractive for me everyday" But then she rolled her eyes and wore a shirt and some uncool baggy jeans. She took her handbag, packed the documents and yelled.
"STACIE ARE YOU UP???" But the house was just so silent. Nova boiled with anger. But she controlled herself and went to work. She entered and saw Stacie, Alan and the receptionist talking and laughing at the counter.
"STACIE!!" Novalie yelled and dragged her hair to a corner. She was shocked to see Nova's hair.
"Nova...ARE YOU LOOKING LIKE THIS OR AM I FREAKING DREAMING?" She yelled.
"IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO SAY? OR APOLOGIZE FOR NOT WAKING ME UP AND LEAVING ME TO DEAL WITH MYSELF!" Nova said.
"Nova, leave my hair and calm down...am not your alarm clock. Excuse me." She went to the counter and continued her talk with Alan. Tears overflowed her eyes as she stood like a statue, watching a couple talk, and chuckle. Then some guards came looking at her like she was a criminal.
"THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!" They took her by the hand and led her upstairs, they opened Roman's door and Roman was nowhere to be found.
"President Roman...Where is he?" They looked around the big office, and then he came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
"Am here now. You can leave me and my P.A" He smirked as they all left. He was coming near Nova, and Nova was stepping back, she was filled with fear as he pinned her to the wall.
"I needed you...why did you come late?" He whispered as he roughly smashed his lips against hers. Tears fell from Nova's eyes, as he pinned her harder. Nova found courage and pushed him.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ROMAN? WHY ARE YOU SO DESPERATE TO HAVE ME? I CAME HERE TO WORK AND EARN MONEY NOT TO BE YOUR DOLL!" She said and buried her face in her hands, crying. Roman looked at her. His eyes were filled with lust and obsession. He ran towards her and bit her neck.
"Ouch!" She cried. He looked at her to see her expression.
"Baggy jeans can't hide how round your hips are" He smirked and Nova fell down in front of him crying.
"Why are you doing this?" Someone barged in and she quickly crawled into a corner. Roman went towards the man and held his collar.
"HOW DARE YOU BARGE INTO MY OFFICE LIKE THAT! GET LOST!" he yelled at the man.
"Sir, the documents are ready, and you have a meeting in 10 minutes. I told Mr. Park that you had a new P.A and Mr Park wants to see her."
"Tell Mr Park, i will send Nova to him soon."
"Yes sir" He went out. Roman went to his seat. Nova was still crying.
"Novalie..." He called in a cold voice. Novalie slowly approached him.
"Take these documents, and these other files, arrange my meeting. Your office is just opposite mine."
"How do i arrange your meeting sir?"
"DON'T YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE?" He barked.
"DID YOU THINK BEFORE EMPLOYING ME?" nova folded her arms.
"Okay, go to Mr Park" Nova didn't wait for him to finish before she left. Roman smirked and took his intercom.
"Hello, Stacie."
"Oh, hi Roman. I mean, Sir"
"I need my coffee and burger please."
"Okay, i will be there in a sec sir. Sir, is Novalie there?" She asked.
"She just left" Roman dropped his intercom and got up. He wore a coat and took his tie, he sat on the sofa, inhaling Nova's fragrance at that period. He wanted to taste her, and devour her but her 'crocodile' tears were always the one bringing him down.
...
Nova reached Mr Park's office in the last floor and knocked.
"Open" he said and Nova entered. He looked at Nova from head to toe. He had never seen a more disgusting person.
"Ugh!" He said.
"Sir, You called for me. Am Novalie Greens." She said and Mr Park nodded.
"Okay four eyes, i wanted to see you because of the packages that would be packed into our main warehouse. We have 12 packages, and 23 parcels, and on behalf of the board, i want to apologize to President Roman for the inconvenience. The letters that couldn't be posted last week. Tell him all that." Mr Park said.
"I will." Nova nodded as Mr park threw three parcels at her. She packed them and left the office. She saw Roman outside his office.
"Um, sir, he told me to apologize, for the...the letters that were not posted...t...t...last week. these are the p..packages. He said 12 packages and 23 parcels." Novalie said with her face down.
"No problem Nova, drop them in my office and let's go." He instructed.
