C2 Meeting him again

Two days later

Adrian sat on her bed in the hotel room, looking at her laptop. She had been saved by her friend, Avery. After she had left that room, she had immediately gone to her best friend, Avery's house. After much discussion about Adrian moving on, Avery had suggested Adrian should stay with her at her place. But Adrian had disagreed, saying she wouldn't want to disturb Avery and her boyfriend's privacy. So Avery had gotten her a room in an hotel to stay in for a few weeks. She had paid for a whole three weeks so Adrian could have time to settle things out with herself.

Now, she thinks she needed a job, a means of income so she could have a life to move on to. As she was surfing the web for any available vacancies that she might fit into, a laptop that had been given to her by Avery.

Her eyes suddenly catches an advert on the monitor of the laptop. It was a job vacancy! Her face immediately beamed up in excitement.

It said that there was a job vacancy as the secretary to the C E O of one Reeds Incorporated.

A secretary? Adrian could do that, she had studied Business Management in her University and she had had one of the best degrees. She knew she would get the job.

Immediately, she scrolled down for the job details as she was ready to go get it.

Damien stood before his mirror, busy knotting his blue and black striped tie. He was currently dressed in a black three piece suit over a light blue shirt.

He looked up at the mirror and his eyes instantly caught Selena, his wife by the doorstep.

He ignored her presence completely even though he knew she already knew he saw her. He just continued to knot his tie.

Ever since his mother had introduced her to him as his wife, he had instantly disliked her. She had walked up to him in her quite revealing red dress hoping to seduce him, but Damien had slapped her aside and walked out of the living room. He had simply felt disgusted.

The day after was when they got married and since then, Damien hadn't spoken a word to her. He didn't even act as though she was residing with him in this mansion. Even when he was asked to kiss the bride on the wedding day, he didn't move. It was Selena that took the initiative to kiss him instead while Damien just stood rigidly on a spot.

It was such a pain in the ass that they had to remained married till his father passed away.

Now she was behind him, closely watching as her husband dressed up. She began to take slow and careful steps indoors, towards Damien.

As soon as she got behind him, she placed her hand on his shoulder. Abruptly, Damien turned to face her. He glared at her closely, peering angrily into her eyes.

Fear was written all over her face as she stared back at him. But she immediately regained her composure and smiled seductively.

"Sweetie..." she voiced in a seductive manner as she reached for Damien's chest. Not wanting that to happen, Damien gripped her tiny wrist harshly.

"Ouch!" she winced painfully, trying to wiggle her hand off Damien's grip but the latter's grip was too strong for her.

"You're hurting me!" She winced painfully.

"Don't you ever think of touching me again" Damien growled at her.

"We may be married but I'm not your husband, you may bear my last name but you are also not my wife" Damien said as he gripped Selena's wrist even harder, causing her to grimace painfully.

Then Damien threw away her hand and pointed his finger hard at her. "So get that into your skull". Finished, he walked passed her and headed out of the room, Selena watched his back as he retreated.

She was going to have to try harder.

"So this is the place" Adrian said as she stared at the magnificent building before her. This is the Reeds Incorperated where she would soon be interviewed. But she couldn't stop herself from from staring at the building. It was just too magnificent to be true.

"The owner must be very rich." She thought.

"Have you lost your eyes?" a feminine voice dragged her out of her reverie. She looked at her side to see a young lady about her age glaring angrily at her. Adrian didn't understand the cause of her terrible scowl until her gaze drifted to the red hand bag that was on the ground with some other files too. She immediately knew what had happened.

"Oh I'm so sorry" she quickly begged as she bent on her knees to help pack the handbag and the papers.

"I honestly didn't see you there" she said again as she packed.

"You're sorry?" she heard the young lady saying. She had to look up just so she could be sure she heard well.

"Do you know what you've caused and now you're saying you're sorry, you wretched bitch" the lady said, standing with her hands akimbo on her very curvy waist.

That was it, Adrian sprang back to her feet and stood akimbo also. "Tell me, what have I caused?" she asked.

"Urgh, that's it! ". And so was it. The lady sharply reached for Adrian's hair and began to pull it roughly.

Adrian groaned in an excruciating pain as she tried to free her hair from this bitch's grip. But the latter's grip was so strong.

Finally, she let go with a rough push of Adrian which caused the latter to fall backwards. The lady grabbed her bag and papers and swayed off.

Adrian could only watch as her plump backside swayed roughly as she walked away.

Adrian sighed and stood up. She ran her hand through her hair. It was messed up.

"That little bitch totally messed up my hair." She complained as she used her hand to try and smoothen her hair back into position. It was better but not as neat as it was before.

She released a breath sharply before heading towards the building, hoping not to encounter what she had just encountered again.

She met the receptionist and told her why she was here. The receptionist in turn told her to wait among the others. That was when Adrian knew that there were actually lot of people applying for the job and they were all mostly ladies.

"I guess ladies are the ones that applies for secretaries' post the most."

After several minutes of waiting, Adrian suddenly heard a familiar voice she wished she didn't.

"Hey bitch!". She slowly looked at her side and sighted the same plump assed bitch who had pulled her hair roughly just minutes ago, sitting on a chair across hers.

"You're also here for the job bitch, you surely won't get it" she said again and Adrian could only pull on a fake smile as she didn't want to start a row again with her.

"Mellisa Downy, you're disqualified from the interview exercise" a thick but clear voice boomed from the southern side of Adrian. She looked by her side and sighted a man walking in with suited bodyguards closely behind him. Everyone in the room instantly stood to their feet at his entry.

But this wasn't just an ordinary man, this was the exact man who she had met in bed with her three days ago. The same white hair, rosy lips and distinct jawline that she had been endeared to.

She could only watch alarmingly as her jaw dropped. He was the C E O of the company she wanted to work in and looking at the way he had just disqualified one of the applicants without a second thought showed how remorseless he was.

Could her day get any worse?
