Chapter One : Run in with Mr Arrogant
Luna’s P.O.V
“Put the laptop down woman. It is your lunch break.” I giggled to my best friend Carter
“I need to get this finished or my boss will not be pleased.” She said, not even looking at me
I was waiting for my best friend in her office, we have a lunch date but her boss is apparently a bit of an ass...the poor girl is overworked.
“I really could not give a damn about your boss. It is your lunch break, you are entitled to take it. If you do not shut that down I will.” I said annoyed
“Do you want me to get fired?” she asked
“Maybe that would not be so bad. Your boss is an asshole who overworks you, under pays you and treats you like trap. I do not know why you put up with it.” I said
It was true, everything I was saying to her. By the end of the week she is exhausted and has no energy to have a life.
“Cause it’s my job.” She laughed
“You deserved better he is an ass.” I laughed “he needs to learn how to treat his employees better. You can do better.” I said
“Luna stop.” She said seeming panicked
I looked at her confused, have I missed something?
“Why I am telling the truth. He seems like a jackass.” I said
I see her eyes go from me to behind her and then I realised what was wrong.
“He is behind me isn’t he?” he said
“Yes.” I heard a voice say as I presence appeared behind me
I have never seen my friend as worried as she is right now. I was only telling the truth, don’t wanna get her fired though. I slowly turned around to be met with a smug face. He was not what I expected. I pictured him as an older guy, not to good looking and that’s why he treats people like crap. That could not be further from the truth. He was gorgeous, only looked a couple of years older than me...dressed in a very expensive looking blue suit. I swallowed hard as I took in his appearance.
“Please continue?” he smirked
“Are you gonna deny all of what I said? I was only speaking the truth.” I said
Carter is always telling me that no one stands up to him, everyone takes all his crap cause they know better. Me? I am not that kind of person. Someone treats me like crap I stand up for myself.
“Do you know who I am?” he asked a stern glare as he looked at me
I think he was half expecting me to back down...not gonna happen
“Yes. A boss that treats people like crap. A boss that over works and under pays his staff.” I said matter- of - factly
“Luna!” I heard Carter’s panicked voice “Are you trying to get me fired?” she added
He stepped in closer to me, his hand brushing my hip
“Yes Luna are you trying to get her fired?” he smirked
“You fire her I will sue you for unlawful firing.” I said smugly
“Oh is that so?” he smirked
“Yes. I work for one of the best law firms in the country.” I replied
Carter had fallen silent, letting us have our little discussion.
“I have a better idea. I won’t fire her on one condition?” he said placing his hands on my hips
“And that would be what?” I asked grabbing his hands, removing them
“You go on a date with me.” He smirked
I heard Carter gasp from behind me. Who does this guy think he is? I laughed before answering
“Maybe when hell freezes over. I am sure that is called blackmail. You are maybe used to getting who and what you want but guess what with me that isn’t gonna work.” I said
“You really are a feisty one aren’t you?” he smirked “I like my woman feisty.” He added
“Something tells me you like any woman with a pussy.” I replied “Now can you go so we can go for lunch? She is still taking her full hour cause you have wasted some of her lunch time.” I said standing my ground
“Yes mam.” He winked “I will see you very soon.” He added before waking away
I turned back to look at Carter who was sitting with her mouth open, a shocked look in her.
“What?” I asked
“Did my boss really just ask you on a date?” she asked
“Apparently, never gonna happen. Why do you seem shocked about that? He probably spends half his life trying to get woman to go on a date with him or in his bed.” I shrugged
“Yes he has had a lot of woman in his bed that is no secret but date woman? Never.” She said
“Really?” I laughed, Carter nodding “Oh well, still never gonna happen.” I added with a shrug.
She laughed, shaking her head before grabbing her things and we headed out for lunch. As we did I see the boss standing against the wall, eyes firmly on me. I flipped him off, Carter slapping my arm when I did. Him however he smirked before winking at me.
“Eww!” I groaned rolling my eyes at him
He can flirt and what not all he wants, he is never getting a date with me. I know his type all too well, went there once with another guy...never happening again. His eyes never left me until the elevator doors closed over.
“Is he always that arrogant?” I asked Carter as her headed down in the elevator
“Pretty much. The woman seem to like it, think he has screwed most of his female staff, they know what he is like, doesn’t stop them going back to him.” She said
“What about you? You ever screw your boss?” I asked giggling
I knew the answer, but it was fun winding her up
“What do you think?” she laughed
“I know, only messing with you know you have more sense than that.” I laughed
The two of us headed out to our favourite restaurant for lunch. As we took a seat Carters work phone started ringing, his name flashing on the screen...Marco. I see Carter roll her eyes before answering the phone
“Hello Sir.” She said sweetly
She fell silent, him talking and I watch a small smirk grow on her lips, trying to stop from laughing, looking at me. They are talking about me?
“Sir Luna has a mind of her own.” She laughed
With that I reached over taking the phone from her
“What do you want Mr Arrogant?” I hissed down the phone “stop using my best friend to get to me.” I added
He chuckled loudly on the other line
“I thought I made it clear that I want a date did I not?” he said
“And I thought I was clear when I said when hell freezes over did I not?” I said back
“You will give into me, you know that right?” he said cockily
I let out a dark laugh
“Never gonna happen...go to hell and leave me alone. And don’t bother calling again during her lunch break or she will be taking a longer one. Goodbye you cocky bastard.” I said hanging up the phone
Carter looked at me
“Did you really just call my boss a cocky bastard?” she asked “you trying to get me fired?” she added
“Well he is and he won’t fire you...he tries it I will kick his ass.” I said
Everyone else may put up with his crap...not me. He tries firing her he will have to deal with me.
