Loving him more

Prologue

"Why did u punch him?" I asked in shock.

"Why did you kiss him?" He asked me angrily.

"What? I... but..he... "

"Is he your boyfriend? Or

Did he pay you to be with him?"

He asked this annoyedly by interupting me.

But hearing those words coming out from his mouth made me lose my temper.

I went nearer to him and slapped him across his face.

"How could you say something like that?"

I am not like other bimbo's who are dying to do anything for money.

I certainely don't need to explain to you anything and i don't wish to work with you anymore.

Goodbye Mr. Pearce."

~CHAPTER ONE~

Scarlet's Pov~

"What the hell!"

I whispered to myself and gasped at the sight in front of me.

He was walking towards our way; I guess he is 6 feet 2 inches tall,

Wearing a greyish black suit which showed off his perfect broad shoulders.

His mesmerizing green eyes is damn captivating, his jet black hair is combed and well-kept in style which gave him a dreamy look, like he is a model posing for a magazine and advertising for a suit company.

When he kept advancing towards us, I noticed a light stubble beard on his face.

Wow! I like that, oh my god! I am completely checking him out. I should stop it. He is my boss.

"Good Morning Sir." Mrs. Madeleine greeted him with a smile.

"Good Morning Maddie."

He replied with a curt nod and walked ahead.

I couldn't even greet him as he just walked off ahead and I just stood there watching his retreating back.

Mrs. Madeleine was now walking alongside with him and updating with few things and I just stood there not knowing what to do.

Then I thought it's better to hurry up and follow their footsteps so I walked inside. The office was huge and all of the employees were busy and engaged in their work.

There was a hallway ahead which led me to another section of the office.

Again a young girl was standing behind a reception desk which is in the center and she is busy writing something in a register book.

As I approached her she looked up at me and smiled.

"Scarlet." Mrs. Madeleine called me out from the right side and I turned towards her.

"Oh dear I am so sorry I left you behind. Come I'll take you to Mr. Pearce. He is waiting for you." She said apologetically and guided me towards the right side of the hallway.

As I was passing through I saw two rooms on both sides, all having glass doors. Straight ahead there was again a big glass door which had a name plate written in bold letters as CEO.

She knocked on the door twice and we both entered inside. I took a deep breath and looked up towards him and his office room.

He was sitting in his plush black chair reading documents. His table was a mess as it had a lot of papers, files etc. And also a computer placed right in front of him.

What caught my eye is behind his sitting area. He had a large glass window and the view is breathtakingly amazing.

You can see all the giant commercial buildings of top multi-millionaire's club but the most beautiful view for me is the clear blue sky.

"Sir, she is here." Mrs. Madeleine informed him with small smile.

"Good morning Miss Reeves.

Welcome to Pearce Industries. As a start you can get a coffee for me. All the rules and works will be informed to you by Maddie.

Maddie do show her office and introduce her to what she has to do. And after that you can come to me, I will give you rest of the day tasks."

He just said all these things without looking at me while I stood there and nodded in response.

"Miss Reeves I didn't receive an answer from you." This time he said while looking at me.

"Yes Sir." I answered him obediently. But his gaze just made me shiver a bit.

"Good. You both may go now." He said and got back to work.

We both left his cabin and as we walked towards our cabins I saw the same rooms which we came across a while ago, the left side one is my own cabin while right side one is Mrs. Madeleine's.

So we first took a look inside my room.

It's smaller than my boss's cabin. That is so obvious, but it's spacious with a desk and a plush chair placed in the middle. I even had a computer to work on. Walls are white and looking at the behind there is a large window which faces a small garden area.

She showed me that I had notepads and all other stationeries kept in drawers. Files were neatly placed on my desk. And she guided me with all the basics.

Then Mrs. Madeline welcomed me inside her room. It's a bit similar to mine but her walls are painted in light blue color.

"Oh dear, it's a bit mess in here. I have a lot of things to do and was busy working without clearing out few of the stuff which is not needed now.

But don't you worry I will guide you in your work and don't hesitate to ask for help." She said giving me a soft smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Madeleine."

"Oh you can call me Maddie." She said while waving her hand and gestured me to sit.

"Maddie he said to bring him a coffee. Just tell me where is the cafeteria and how does he wants his coffee?" I asked her thoughtfully.

"Yes dear. Come, I will help you with that. I will tell you more things about him and the company." She said.

We headed towards the cafeteria which was straight ahead and once again passed through the reception desk.

On the way she explained to me that the first room towards right is the cafeteria room while it's opposite is a small waiting room. Ahead there are four more rooms both on opposite sides which are kind of relaxing area for guests who comes for conferences.

Straight in the end is the large conference room which is currently locked.

Every once in a month we have a big conference meeting and every week we have a report meeting. So it's our duty to organize those meetings and events of our company.

My main duty is to support my boss in all way by making his job a bit easier by scheduling and arranging things. She also said various other things as well.

"I've heard a lot about Mr. Pearce being very serious and tough as hell in business. Plus it's hard to work with him because of his mood swings, anger issues and perfectionist behavior. Is that true?" I asked her as I have heard many people talk about him that way.

"Mr. Pearce is a gentleman and he is hard on the exterior side but he has got a huge heart. He is a hardworking individual like his father and would give his best to achieve success.

You must have heard a lot of things about him....professional as well as personal but in the end he is a human being with flaws like you and me.

Working with The Pearce Group is a major opportunity and life changing experience.

Alexander is a good guy and those who don't know him portray him in a different way all together.

That's their way of judging and analyzing him while media members constantly look up onto his life because he is a man with absolute power, loaded with money and lastly blessed with good looks.

The Handsome Devil is the name given to him by all." She said with a thought and I felt like he is not that bad as they say.

Maddie is the senior most working employee here and she also served as personal assistant to Mr. Pearce's father when he was taking care of the business empire as CEO.

After his retirement she was assigned to Alexander Pearce to continue as his assistant. Now she has already completed five years with him and is considered as an asset to the company. That says a lot and I already like her.

We went inside the cafeteria room which had light cream colored walls. Tables and chairs were neatly arranged and there is a food counter which had employees stationed. At a corner there was our coffee machine kept.

"Mr. Pearce likes to have a black coffee with one cube of sugar every morning, afternoon and at evening."

Maddie said while pouring coffee into the mug and placed it on the tray. Also a sugar packet and a spoon were kept beside it. She then passed on the tray on my hand and wished me luck.

Maddie had to go and get some work done so I headed straight to my Boss's cabin with his coffee in my hand.

I gulped and knocked three times and entered in. Placed the tray on table, added a cube of sugar into the coffee and stirred it well.

I was just about to give him the mug but suddenly his right hand collided with my hand which held the hot coffee.

The hot coffee got spilled over onto his hand and I dropped the mug on his lap which in turn spoiled his suit too.

I gasped again in shock and was trembling in fear right now.

Well shit! What a nice start with a cup of coffee for my boss. Isn't it?

I thought to myself.
