Jane's POV
"Am I babysitting you, Walker? " I found myself trembling as I was being yelled at " Do you have it in you to do something right for once? "
" I gave you a very simple task. You were supposed to be in charge of the contract. you only had to get the fucking contract from SAG, get the right people to sign it and bring it to me"
" So where the fuck is the contract? I don't see it on my damn desk " He roared for the millionth time.
I was dangerously reaching my limit here, he was shouting making me feel like a kid been scolded.
I couldn't dare to look him straight in the eyes, afraid I might not like what I would have to face.
I could barely dissipate my anger into the air, but I tried explaining myself my voice weakening " I already submitted the contract. I'm sure I personally handed out on Monday when Mr. Williams came to get you for the last meeting "
His voice startled me as he crashed the pen he was holding " Is that so? The contract gained legs and jumped off the fucking window?"
" Maybe it got mixed with other documents, we just have to look for it " I was now starting to doubt myself, but I clearly remember giving it to him. Did I forget it at home?
" Before I lose my damn mind, you'll print the contract and personally go back so they sign again. Come back and go to all the necessary departments so it is finalized. I want this contract on my desk by the end of the day or you don't have to worry about coming back to this company"
Why should I go to those departments personally, I could just send them so they can sign.
" I've no idea where the contract is, but I definitely submitted it" I whispered not been able to look at his face.
" The contract will only be discussed next month, I can take care of it during this week, or is there any reason to finalize it today?" I asked but regretting as the words left my mouth.
" Do I perhaps owe you an explanation on how to run my company? As I told you before, your input is not significant here. So just do what you're told before I fire you and make sure you never be employed in this country" He barked.
Perplex I looked up and found the storms in his eyes, making me wish that someone would save me from them. He looked at me with his frozen ocean blues eyes that's when I regretted my decision to take him on this fight.
I never felt so humiliated in my life. This whole situation was overwhelming and I was having trouble dealing with whatever action I was going to take next. I calmed down then walked away not saying a word. I was afraid if I said something we would both regret it.
When I was in my office I filled my lungs again and again to soften my emotions. This time I felt like crying but I was not a professional crier, was I? So for the last time, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, grabbed my bag, phone and walked to Sarah.
I found Sarah and Dilan having lunch together. They both looked concerned.
"Are you okay darling?" Dilan asked caressing my hand." We heard the screaming"
" I'm okay. Sarah I'm going home to check for some papers. Please just give me a call if anything comes up " I said walking to the elevator.
I was so angry and I didn't know what to do with that much anger. For a moment I thought I would actually cry, but I know better.
When I got home, I flipped through every document I found." Is not here, you submitted " my subconscious told me every time I flipped a paper.
"Damn it " I yelled when I'd exhausted all the places I could think of.
Went to get a cup of water and there were some dishes to be washed, I couldn't resist. I found myself doing dishes, talk about priorities right? But is not like I was anxious to see someone's face so soon.
I guess I realized my day couldn't be worse, I figured I would be working the whole day, by the time I come back I would be tired so, why not?
I was actually trying to come up with a reasonable explanation but I just wanted to distract myself, so here I was doing the dishes.
I drove to SAG, went to their legal department, and was on my way back to the company. The whole way murdering that bastard in my head, already planning on how to get rid of the body.
I was so tired when I entered the building next to ours, knowing I still had to go to two different departments to get a few signatures and to add to my hardship they were in two different buildings. Something I could have just emailed them.
After all, jumping up and down from one building to another I was finally done. I was in front of the elevator but I was too tired, even to lift a finger. After battling over the whole press the button or not I decided to do it.
"It looks like you're having pretty rough day honey" Sarah said when I walked out of the elevator.
" Tell me about it" Knowing that I still had to go deliver the contract in his office made my anger escalate at an incredible rate.
I know that hoping that he is not in his office right now was asking for too much.
When I was on my way to his office I found Scott going in the same direction with cookies in one hand and documents in the other.
"Going to face the monster?" he teased.
" I heard he is in a lovely mood today. Why does your beautiful face look so tired little bunny? " he added opening the door to Niklaus's office.
Niklaus was talking on the phone when he saw us, he ended the call and a graced us with his attention.
" I've been walking up and down for a contract I already submitted " I whispered.
" What contract?" he asked but before I could answer the almighty cleared his throat.
" Here is the contract Mr. Salvatore " I informed resting it on his desk.
" Did you take it to the SAG legal department? " Niklaus asked tonelessly.
"Yes Sr " obviously I did, otherwise you wouldn't let me breathe, would you?
"Sorry to disturb this lovely interaction between you and your boss little bunny" Scott interrupted patting my shoulders.
" Is the contract you're talking about the one we just closed with SAG? " he asked grabbing my unconditional attention.
Annoyed Niklaus laid back in his chair "Correct "
" If is that specific one so, why did you've to do a new one? Niklaus left the original in my office yesterday after the meeting, we were even correcting a few mistakes on the contract " He said in a matter-of-fact way.
"Don't tell me, you walked up and down because of this? " Scott announced showing the file in his hand.
I threw my hands in the air clenching my fist to prevent me from making this human being change his solid-state." Murder is still a crime" I tried reasoning with the psycho inside of me." the best you can offer him is void, destruction is still a form of creation and he doesn't deserve that"
I Sighed and swallowed my anger to suppress the lava that tried to escape" All is well " I whispered releasing my now white knuckles.
