Part 12

Angel's Pov

"Okay, let's start from my room," I said to myself and started cleaning my room. Kate and Ray have gone on a 3 days trip to Disneyland to celebrate their 7 year anniversary together. Yup they have been together since their teenage.

And I decided to clean the apartment. I had a plan to go to Alison's diner but she closed her diner for 2 days because of renovation work. So I literally have no job today.

I never had any holiday because I used to work all days in week at company and diner but after 4 years this is my 1st holiday and it's because I have no job.

I hope I'll get a good job as soon as possible because I don't want to take any risk in mom's treatment.

I really wanted to wish to get appointed at Inferno company but it's better for me to stay as far as possible from blaize. It really hurt to see how the person you loved most in the world, broke your heart in the worst way possible.

I decided to do all the cleaning to keep my mind busy from thinking about a certain someone with gorgeous blue eyes.

......

At exact 5pm, I completed all the cleaning, which made me really really tired. I took a long 30 minutes bath and ordered Veg pizza.

Not because I'm tired of cooking anything but because I can't cook, and yess I'm vegetarian & can't cook any food items except cheese sandwiches and coffee.

After 10 minutes the doorbell rang. Wow fast delivery, thank god because I'm too hungry. With excitement I opened my door ready to claim my pizza but there was no pizza except one man in black suit. What? Man in Black?

Yeah yeah I watch too many movies. "Yes, how may I help you?" I asked him politely.

"The only way is to accept it," he replied, giving me a blue folder. With a confused look I took it.

"What is it? I just ordered pizza, not some documents" I commented, yeah I speak too much too sometimes.

"It's says that you are appointed as a personal secretary for the Inferno organisation, and you are required to report at sharp 8am from tomorrow onwards, and you are also require to sign these documents containing your appointment formalities and bring them with you tomorrow, now see you at the office" with that he left without any further saying.

"What?" I looked at the folder in my hand with a shocked expression. "What exactly happened?" I asked myself, they literally appoint me, out of 50 people they appoint me? Why?

I knew blaize wouldn't give me this job, until he has something to get. But why? Why did he choose me?

But I needed this job, I needed to make mom proud of me when she woke up. I have to do my best work in this company, yes nothing would happen if I work hard there.

The smell of pizza reached to my nostrils making my stomach growl.

I didn't notice that I was standing outside the door until the pizza boy came and delivered it.

After eating pizza, I spent the whole night tossing and turning on bed, because my mind still wandered on the thought of why did he give me this job when he was the one who kicked me out of my previous job.

........

When the morning came, I told Kate everything and she was happy for me, according to her it can be a new start for me.

She specifically told me not to wear my old baggy clothes because this is a very big company, so I decided to wear the clothes that Kate used to buy me but I didn't wear because they were too much for me.

After taking a 10 minutes shower I changed into the green flower sleeves top with the white jeans and flat sandals. Again I made a ponytail of my hair and ready to go.

If Kate was here, she could drop me but now I'll have to go myself. I decided to walk to the building because it's just 20 minutes walk.

......

At exactly 7:50am I reached the 31st floor, which was instructed by the receptionist down in the lobby that there will be 6 offices.

But except me no one was on this floor, even my flat Sandal's sound echoed into the area.

Without knowing what to do I sat on a vacant chair outside the office.

After like 15 minutes the same man came who had given the folder to me.

"Miss Hughes, let me show you the office of yours" he said and led me to the end room.

"You'll be working here and you have already been mailed about your work today, because sometimes Sir comes to this office after 12pm, when they need to handle the work of other companies," he informed me and proceeded to leave.

"But this office looks like a tornado had visited here" I commented after looking at the room, there was not a place where the papers weren't falling off.

"Yes and it's your duty to clean it and set these files accordingly, and you can call me Eric" with that he walked out leaving me stunned. On my first day I need to clean this room?

I sighed and took off the papers from the chair and the table. I needed to check the mail first. After starting the computer I checked the mail informing me that today I'm supposed to understand the work of the company and then make a schedule of it.

"God this is going to be a long day" with that I started collecting all the papers at one place and after cleaning, I started to make a list of files that needed to be arranged. It took me hours to find the right papers for files.

I was so engrossed in filing the papers that I didn't notice the door opening. "I need the file-- what is this?" Blaize's angry voice reached my ears.

"So that's how you work, spreading the papers and files on the floor" he commented looking at me, because I was actually swarming with papers.

"It's my duty to clean this room, so I need to arrange these papers accordingly because your last secretary left the tornado in it" I told him the same thing that Eric told me and added my tornado thing.

If there was someone else, I wouldn't be able to say this but in front of Blaize I feel anger more than fear, and I barely feel any anger, I never felt angry before.

That's why I said this without fear. The pain he gave me is bigger than any fear.

"Control your mouth if you don't want to get fired on your first day" he spat with gritted teeth which made me shut.

"Complete this mess in an hour then give me the file of Anderson company." He barked and walked out with banging the door enough to rattle the painting off the wall, great more cleaning.

I didn't notice it was already 3 o'clock, which means I was doing this since morning. I skipped lunch even though I was so hungry and decided to complete this, luckily after 40 minutes I completed the file of Anderson company and walked out to give him the file.

I read his name on the third office and knocked. I entered after he said come in.

"Here is your file" I said. "Good, now out" he answered rudely. He was sitting behind the mahogany table in black suit and white shirt.

It's no lie that he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. His gorgeous blue eyes, stubble beard, sharp jaw, soft hairs and- "Stop perverting and do some work miss Hughes" he yelled making me snap out of my thoughts.

I walked out as soon as my feet could take me. My face was red in embarrassment.

After that I arranged all files and made the schedule of work that needed to be done. I was writing the schedule for tomorrow when the door knocked. "Yes?" I asked.

Adrian entered with a kind smile on his face. "You should go home Angelina, it's past 10 o'clock, you can complete it tomorrow" he said.

He is not like his other friends because I never saw him laughing at me or making fun of me. "I..I have ...I have completed all work" I said, putting the schedule notebook in a drawer.

"Do you want me to drop you at your home?" He asked again gently.

"No.. I mean....I can go, it's just a 20 minutes walk" I replied, taking my bag and ready to go.

"Are you kidding? You are not walking home at this late hour, come I'll drop you" He insisted and walked out.

I followed him hesitantly. "Uhm sir, it's. . It's ok.. I'm used to it." I said.

I hold my bag tightly because of fear. I have never been alone with any man after the incident 5 year ago, and even if Adrian shows kindness, it doesn't mean I can trust him. I don't trust anyone except Kate and Alison.

"First of all, you can call me Adrian and second, you are my employee and your security is my safety, so we can stay here and waste time in arguing or you can come so I can drop you at home, because we all five are known for our stubbornness" He said with a smile. I Sighed and decided to take a chance. "O-o-okay" I said nervously.

I think he knew I was nervous because never once he said anything and even in the car he did not say anything except asking my address.

Maybe he is not arrogant like all his friends. "Okay, here you go, and Angelina, it's Okay I'm not going to eat you, so you can loosen up," he said when we reached my apartment.

"Thanks," I said with a small smile and walked inside the apartment. I wanted to tell him that it's not you, it's just I can't trust a man after what every man did to me in my life.

One broke my heart in the worst way possible and one shattered my soul. But I can't tell anyone because my dead heart doesn't want to trust anyone again.
