*Arranged marriage*Enemies to lovers*Obsessed anti-Hero* “I fucking hate you!” She breathed out the words, slowly and steadily, into his face. Her garlic smelling breath hitting him right in the face, making his face twitch and break posture. “You,” he turned his head away to breathe away from her garlic scented bread, only for her to open her mouth and blow into his direction. “Fucking brat. Did your parents teach you nothing?“ “Pedophile!” She accused to his face. “Did your parents teach you to marry little girls?” Adrian scoffed. “it’s your father who is trying to marry you off. Take it up with him.” She tried to open her mouth, by the looks of it just blow her garlicky breath on him again. Adrian grabbed her jaw, squeezing her cheeks together, he made her shut her mouth. “Listen to me carefully, Brat,” he whispered, bringing his face closer to hers, “You better hope I don’t say yes to this proposal of your father. Because if I do, I will be shipping your ass off to a behaviour correction facility as the first thing.” Ignoring the sneer on her lips, Adrian patted her cheek forcefully, just for fun, before turning around and leaving her alone in the corner. “It’s on,” she vowed, “I’ll fucking set you on fire.” ***** Joyce O’Sullivan, 19 years old, a perfect age to get married and settled according to her family members, according to the church they went to, and according to the whole society that she did not give a damn about.

Work and life - III

"Joyce," her name was called on the intercom by Charles, "coffee, please. Strong, please." The last please was more like a plea.

She pressed the button to reply. "On it."

It was also needed by her. In fact, if Charles had not called at the moment, she would have gotten herself a coffee.

The executive pantry, only for the executive staff, was equipped with almost everything. For a thorough coffee, for a filter coffee, an iced coffee, or anything else, anyone could think of, it was equipped with every kind of material.

"Hold on, Joyce, you there?" The intercom Rang again, and by chance, she was almost out of the door.

She pressed the same button again to answer, "I am, I was just leaving."

"Come in for a second."

Joyce nodded before stepping back and reaching for the door to his office. By the time she ended, she noticed how he had changed in appearance. His hair was messy, like he had run his hands through it, his tie was loose, and his expression was tiresome.
