Anabel's POV
I strolled into the company feeling confident when I heard a commotion.
Rushing to see what was happening,
I saw a lady kneeling at Dylan's feet,
"I wonder who she was" I thought.
"Please sir, I'm begging you, I need this job" she cried as she kept begging.
Dylan stared at her coldly and signalled for the security to take her out.
Being dragged out and she kept on screaming and kicking.
"This man is damn cold" I said to myself as I walked forward.
"Good morning Anabel" the receptionist greeted,
"Good morning Alyssa" I tried to leave when she pulled me back,
"Don't you want to know what happened?" she said raising an eyebrow.
"No" I replied reluctantly.
"Well, that's the girl that you replaced, the old secretary" She blurted.
As if I cared about that, I stared at her coldly making sure she realized that I was angry at her and then walked away.
Dylan's POV
This morning seems off for me when I noticed Alyssa trying to persuade a woman to leave as I entered the building.
"What is going on here? I asked.
"Sorry Sir, Steph keeps insisting to see you" Alyssa replied.
Steph immediately went on her knees,
"Please Sir, you can't fire me.
"And why not? I asked.
"Please Sir, I really need this job" she begged.
"You should have thought about that" I stated.
"It was an emergency sir, please sir, I really need this job" she said as she cried at my feet.
I signalled for the security to pick her up and headed to my office.
A knock came at my door.
"Come in" I said.
John walked in " Sir, everyone is ready"
"Get Anabel, I need her in the meeting.
In the meeting Hall, everyone was already seated,
"Good morning everyone, shall we begin?" I said after I had sat down.
Just at the peak of the meeting, I noticed Luca staring at Anabel in a perverted way.
I looked at Anabel who was completely oblivious of what was going on.
I don't care if this guy is my client, I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting my employees.
"I'm sorry Mr Luca but we have declined your offer" I stated.
"What's the meaning of that? he yelled angrily.
"Go ahead, yell all you want, the deal is already over, get your perverted ass out of my building" I yelled back.
Luca got up completely angry and walked out, slamming the door.
"You may all leave" I ordered as everyone took their turns leaving.
"Anabel sit" I added.
After everyone had left, I looked at Anabel, this girl was indeed a beauty, that's why Luca couldn't take his eyes of her.
"Do you know Mr Luca" I asked her.
"No Sir" she replied.
" okay you may leave" I said as I watched leave.
In the office, the thoughts of Luca staring at Anabel kept playing in my head over and over again, not letting me concentrate.
"Why am I affected by this young lady, why can't I concentrate" I thought to myself.
I opened my drawer and picked up a lighter and cigarette, smoking had always calmed my nerves.
A few minutes later, I was clear-headed and decided to continue working when a soft knock was heard on the door,
"Come in" I said.
"Good day sir" Anabel greeted.
"Get out" I replied coldly.
She closed the door quietly with a frown on her face.
Great!! just when I had cleared my thoughts, you had to appear, Damn it.
Another knock came again.
"Didn't you hear me say get out? I yelled.
John opened the door and walked in,
"No, I didn't, I need you to sign this, it's from your father, I signed it immediately.
"Don't let anybody in my office for the rest of the day" I ordered John.
He nodded and left.
The last thing I need, is for someone to disturb me, and I won't take it likely with that person.
I checked my watch and it was already past six, I needed to have a word with father, stepping out of my office I noticed John and anabel walking and laughing ahead.
I felt a shiver through my body, I completely ignored them and walked past them.
"Good bye Sir, John greeted as I passed.
I turned back to check why Anabel didn't greet me, she had a frown on her face.
"Wasn't she the one laughing a few seconds ago, am I that mean to her? why do I care about this things"
I have to leave here, this girl is making me think strange things, I hurriedly walked away and got into the car.
Looking through the window, I saw her smiling again, I ordered the driver to leave.
Anabel POV
I stepped into my office knowing it's going to be a long day.
A knock sounded on my door.
"We have a meeting now, boss needs you there" John said as he walked in.
I nodded and followed him.
In the hall, we took our seats waiting for Dylan, but I couldn't help but notice a strange man kept staring at me indecently, ignoring him Dylan walked in and John began the briefing.
"Well from this, we have noticed a few changes in the contract... John said but was interrupted.
"I'm sorry Mr Luca but we have declined your offer" Dylan stated.
The anger dissipating from Dylan and Luca was unbearable, Luca stormed out angrily and we were asked by Dylan to return to our offices.
"Anabel sit" he said, then I turned back and sat down,
"Do you know Mr Luca? he asked.
"No" I replied.
"You may leave" he said.
I nodded and then left,
"Why would he ask me that?
While sorting out some documents I realized that I needed Dylan signature.
I knocked at his door, "come in" he said.
Walking in, he got so angry and shouted "Get out".
I closed the door, "what the hell was wrong with this man, one minute he was okay and another, he acts like an insane person" I thought.
"What's wrong Anabel" John asked as he walked over,
"I don't know why he is angry all of a sudden, he is like a chameleon" I replied as I looked at Dylan's door.
John," let me try"
He knocked on the door and peeked in
"Didn't you hear me say get out" I heard as Dylan yelled.
John "no I didn't".
I walked back to the office knowing this change of temperament is just for me.
"I don't care what I have done to this man but one day, he is going taste my wrath".
After arranging everything for the day, I picked up my bag and headed out,
"Anabel" John called.
I halted and waited for him
"I'm sorry about earlier" he continued.
"You don't need to apologise for him" I replied as we continued walking.
" heading home? he asked.
"where else would I be heading to? I asked.
John"maybe a club?
I laughed, " well it's too early for that, besides I haven't been to a club in a while now".
" Goodbye sir" John greeted Dylan as he passed by, I couldn't care less when he stared at me.
"Move along old man" I thought to my self.
He headed to his car and drove off.
"So I will be taking you to a club on Friday, wear a bikini" John said as he winked at me.
I laughed " who wears a bikini to a club?
We continued talking untill we stopped at the bus stop and got seperated.
"Bye John"
"Bye Anabel".
