"You are still here?" Jack is standing at my door playing with his car keys,

"No, I'm the ghost of Keira" he is asking senseless question, he is seeing me and still he is asking that I'm here, of course I'm.. Wait I'm over reacting a bit but it's not my fault it's because of that.. Adams.

He was gone in the morning but my mind is still confused over it, I don't understand why he just left like that, although Erik assured me its because of some important work but even he didn't come back or I would have asked him about it.. But that'll be weird he work for him not for me,

I put all my things in my bag but Jack is still standing there,

"I must say if you are Keira's ghost then even your ghost is hot" he have an idiotic smirk over his face,

Here he is back with his flirty remarks, he is annoying, I shoot him an angry look, he showed his hands in surrender,

"I was thinking if you need a lift then I can drop you" he asked,

"Well thank you Jack but I can go you don't bother, Good night" I left the building, I don't want his help as I don't like his way of eyeing me up then licking his lips.

I enter my apartment I let out a sigh of relief, I'm tired, suddenly my nose found an delicious smell coming from kitchen, I get in kitchen, what I saw left me shocked,

"You are cooking? what's the matter?"

"I wanted.. to cook for ya, that's it" Betty said tasting the sauce she made maybe for pasta,

"When did you started lying to me" I made her to face me,

"Alright.. Alright I'll tell you, but first you go take a shower" she replied,

I nod and get in my room to take a hot shower, I really need it, after giving myself in hot refreshing water my half of confusion and worry seems like it have evaporated, I feels good..

I slip in my shorts and oversized T-shirt and came out of my room, Betty is already waiting for me, the food she made is waiting for us on table, I sat beside her, she is watching You on Netflix,

"Let's eat" she start to serve me,

She hand me the plate of spaghetti and meatballs, my mouth is full with water, I'm very hungry and the delicious smell is making me more hungry, but I shouldn't forget the fact that she cooks only when she is upset,

"So tell me now"

"You eat" she eat a mouth full obviously to avoid,

"If you won't tell then I won't eat" I put the plate back on table, I'm lying I'm dying to eat, and my stomach betrayed me with its growl,

Betty giggles at this "OK.. OK fine I'm telling you now eat it or I'm sure your stomach will be screaming"

I start to eat it again, hmm.. She made delicious food, it's amazing, sometimes I wonder that I should send her in MasterChef but then I'll have to fight to make her angry only then she'll cook like this,

"John and I broke up" she said and I stopped eating,

I really don't know what should I say "I'm sorry but why?"

"He have to leave this place and we were not good with each other recently.. I think he was bored of me and.. I from him" she sighs,

"Do you miss him now?" I know she feel bad,

"No"

What she don't well that explains they were together just for a couple of months, although it was the first time when her relationship have completed a month I even started to think that she found the guy for her,

"Now I feel good actually Keira"

"You know it's good be happy and single rather than committed but sad" she gave me a light smile,

"You are right but I'll find the right guy for me" she have her wide smile back,

"I'm sure of it, that's the spirit" we laughed, "well it looks we both had a not so good day"

"Both?" she raise an enquiring eyebrow,

"It's a weird thing" I said slurping the pasta in my mouth,

"Well weird things happens with weird people like you, tell me but I'm sure you are gonna tell that you had a fight with some or other guy" she always says this,

I mean she always thinks that I must had an fight or an argument with somebody, "Nope it's about my boss"

"Tell me.. Tell me come on"

I clear my throat to tell her " Well in the morning Mary came to inform me that Mr.Adams will be coming back today"

"Then did you met him how he look in person? Wait did he said something to you?" she asked, well I must say she is very curious,

"That would have been better"

She showed me an confused expression at my remark, but it's true it would have been better if he should have said something from his attractive mouth,

Wait I again called him attractive, I better watch my words or if my tongue got slipped specially in front of her she'll keep on saying it to tease me.

"Then he arrived and started to overload us with works he asked me the file"

"So did you made some mistake in it?" if she'll keep on asking her questions how I'll tell her,

"If you are gonna interrupt me every time in the middle then I think it'll took me twenty years to complete it"

"Is it that long, did you did something with him?" here we go again, I stare at her, "Sorry.. Sorry" she said surrendering,

"I didn't made any mistakes, actually he didn't say anything regarding that, he didn't say anything at all, he just said he wanted an meeting to discuss future projects, then I rushed to set the meeting and when I was doing that I sensed that someone was behind me"

"Sorry.. Sorry but please wait let me get some popcorn to go with it" she is finding it exciting she is a thing.

"And when I turned around I saw an guy standing there he seems startled looking at me, we kept on looking at each other then he came closer to me and said "You","

"Where's I and love" she is never serious,

"I replied "I" and he touched my cheek softly with his fingers" she keeps on chanting then eager to know the rest, I know what she is thinking about, "Then Erik came he turned on the lights and he looked at me again after that he looked furious, Erik tried to introduce me to him and he was none other than Mr.Troy Adams, I tried to give my introduction but he was not least interested and he glared at Erik and then left the room slamming the door on our faces" I took a breath,

"It's not what I thought but why are you upset about it? " she said,

"It seemed to me that he left because of me, although Erik told me he left because of some work but why did he react that way I mean why did he say "You" that's why I'm a bit confused"

"Maybe he was just asking like "You?" in sense who are you?" she have an valid reason,

"Maybe but the way he was looking at me"

"He was looking at you in what way?" she gave an mischievous grin,

"Like I have killed his girlfriend" she throw an pillow at me, "No seriously, I'm afraid that tomorrow he'll fire me"

"My dear think positive"

"I'm trying.. let me make some coffee for us to end the stress" she nods and started to watch the Television again as I went to make the coffee,

I woke up on time today, maybe because I want this job, I removed the curtains from my window letting the bright sunshine to enter, I love Sunshine,

I get in my bathroom after doing my job I took an refreshing shower, today picked my white colored cut sleeve top with my navy blue colored bell bottoms pants, I tucked my top inside, I applied an natural makeup, at last tied my hairs in an ponytail some of my locks are coming on my face, I wear my navy blue color bellies to go with it, I took my handbag my cell phone and my watch, I came out of my room,

Betty had already left she had an early meeting, so I locked the apartment and leaves for my office, I'm taking the bus today as I'm not late,

I reached on time, now I'm getting the feeling that this day will be good, as everything is going good, I took an deep breath stepping inside the elevator, I'm alone in it after all not everyone is allowed to use this one only those who work with Mr.Adams in his floor,

I stepped out and find Mary standing there, "Good Morning Mary"

"Good Morning" she said giving me an light hug,

"Where were you yesterday?"

"Keira I was attending an charity event on the behalf of our company, why did you ask it?"

"OK I asked as you didn't come for lunch so"

"Don't worry we'll go together today for lunch I know a great place to eat Erik always take me there" she said smiling,

I was busy in talking to her, then the door of elevator opened again, Mary eyed me to look behind, on turning my eyes met his again, he is looking even more handsome today on wait he is also wearing navy blue what a coincidence,

"Good Morning Mr.Adams" I greet him and this time without stammer,

"Good Morning Troy" Mary said,

"Morning Mary" saying this he left to his room,

Wait a second it's just me or did he just avoid me, no he just did he act as if I'm not standing there as if I don't exist, leave greeting he didn't even looked at me,

"Keira" Mary snapped in front of my eyes "I'll come in lunch alright bye"

"Yeah sure bye" she left, I get in my cabin, putting my bag on my table I sat on my chair, I pick out my mobile from my bag, it have an message it's from Jack,

So Jack won't come today, now I have to bear this Mr.Arrogant alone, that's bad,

But why I'm feeling bad if he didn't looked at me or greeted me I'm not his boss but he is my boss, why the hell he'll greet me, and as for Mary he thinks her like his sister remember,

The intercom ringed and I answer it "Yes, Mr.Adams wh.."

"Get me my coffee" saying this he cut it, when is he planning to let me finish my words,

Rude, arrogant, ruthless, heartless everyone is right that's what he is, yes and I was so dumb I thought that he'll be a good person because Mary told, come on Keira he is good with her because she is like his sister, and everyone is nice to their family but being nice with other makes a men a good men.

Oh his coffee, I get inside the small kitchen adjoined with my room, I made his coffee just way he like it thanks to Mary she told me,

Before knocking his door I took an deep breath, breath Keira he is your boss after all not an lion who'll eat you, if you'll enter his den, doesn't matter how rude he is, it's your job do it properly,

I knocked his door.

"Come in"

He have such an deep and melodious voice yet a cold tone, I entered his room, he is sitting on his chair with his eyes on the screen in front of him, I put the coffee on his table "Anything else Mr. Adams"

He didn't even replied, expected why he don't talk to me, annoyed I turn around to leave his room but his deep voice stops me,

"Did I ask you to leave Miss.Peers?"

I turn around to face him, he is standing now with a file in his hand, finally he said something,

"No.. No.. Mr.Adams" here I go stammering again I don't understand why it happens with me when I'm talking to him.

"I want you to read this file" he said giving me the file I take it from him,

"Read it here" he said in commanding voice and sits on the edge of his table he look so sexy like this.

I open the file wait a minute it's a CV of some girl, well this girl is highly qualified and knows many languages as well French, German, Spanish, and Hindi also, maybe he wants me to take her interview,

"Isn't she highly educated, Miss. Peers?"

"Yes Mr. Adams"

"She can easily have a job" I nod at his remark it's true she can "But you have it"

I look at him I'm confused what he is trying to say,

"This girl came for this job, she was interviewed just like you but you are selected and she is not though it's quite clear who is more eligible"

What did he just said? he was doing all this to insult me, it's true that she is more qualified than me but who the hell he is to say this to me he can't judge my hardwork and potential.

"Can you tell me Miss. Peers why did Erik select you? What do you have that she don't?" he said, narrowing his eyes,

"Erik.." he gave me a stare he don't like me taking his name "Mr. Simon selected me because I'm hardworking, I'm honest..I can see that this girl is much more qualified than me but it doesn't mean that I can't work, I have been working from a week here and I do my job properly"

"Every one in my company is hardworking even I myself and honesty.. No one dares to lie to me, and I'm the one to decide that you do your job properly or not" he says in a proud voice,

I keep on looking at him, trying to think what he wants to say.

"I won't lie but I hate you" he said each an every word precisely,

His words hit me like slap on my face how rude he is, and why the hell do he hate me have I put his pants on fire or something.

"But Its a professional thing, so I'm giving you two months to prove me wrong, if in these two months you did your job properly then you'll be an permanent employee" he wants to test me,

"But if you did something that'll effect my company then I won't fire you.. You yourself will resign from my company that's my deal" he stands straight in front of me looking at me in eyes.
