Sia pov

What the hell I was thinking when I offered my hand for alliance

And he threw me in bin like toilet paper.

I never felt so stupid in my whole life.

What did I expected from him...that he will take my hand.. start liking me??

Stupid stupid Sia

I was thankful to Ashar for saving me, but his habit of hitting me directly on my heart and soul doesn't end.

"Hey Sia. What's up?"

"Hey D! Nothing new" I am in no mood for conversation right now, but its better to stay silent then to explain reasons, especially when they are so complicated

"What happen? You look like mess? Did the boss gave you tough time?" She asked

Toughest time of my life.

"Some habits dont change. Anyways you tell?"

"I am in peace" she closed her eyes and appear a bright smile on her face.

"By your arrival, my toughest time was over. All thanks to you" she pat on my shoulder.

"That means you owe me a lunch" I joked

"Haa.. I was thinking to take you out for lunch. I haven't seen you going out with someone or anyone since you came back"

"I was not allowed to" words escaped instantly

Shit

She looked puzzled "what? Not allowed by whom and why?"

Come on dumb girl think of something

"Well.. I.. umm.. actually you remember my friends Violet and Hayden?" Of course she knows them. I had told her multiple times about them

"Ya, did they got married?" She asked

Married.. I just hope they are safe and together

"Actually they went to other country few months ago. I went into depression and that's why I quitted the job"

I checked my nose just in case it grew longer or anything.

"Really, but why?"

"I dont know. Everything was smooth and simple. Just one day they told me that they are moving. I am still not got out from that state. That's why I am not dating".

"Oh I am so sorry to hear this" she consoled me.

Thank God she believed

"Is boss still in conference room?" She asked

"Probably yes because he haven't come back to his cabin and even didn't left a message" I said

"Okie dokie" she said and went towards her seat.

After an hour or so, boss was still in meeting and I was just catching up with my pending work that suddenly someone shouted my name

"SIA... WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?"

Wait... This is not Ashar's voice

I stood up to see the person shouting and he was still shouting.

I went to that guy and told him.

"Excuse me. Everyone is working here. Keep your tone down"

"Who the hell are you?" He said

"I am the same hell whose name you were shouting a few minutes ago"

"Oh you are Sia" he looked top to bottom

"Yes! Now can you tell me what is your problem?"

"You're my problem" I rolled my eyes.

Great! One more person who thinks me as a problem

"Can you please keep.your tone down?" He was shouting and I was feeling insulted.

"Everyone should know who did you messed up with" he was still yelling

I folded my arms

He is now pissing me.

"Your name and problem?" I kept my face straight

He threw some papers on my face. My reflexes instantly made me turn my face to my left. All those fall after touching my cheeks and I could feel I got paper cut as well near neck.

"These are the answers to your questions"

Everybody were now staring at us.

I bend down and took paper. They were expense sheet that employees fill when are they travel for reimbursement.

It named "Andrew Davis - Director Sales and Marketing"

He is one of the eldest and oldest employee here. Their department is on 12th floor.

I remember his expense sheet. There was an ambiguous entry of 10 thousand dollars which I had marked with red and asked to submit bill

"Who the f*** are you to ask me about my expenses?" He looked deep in my eyes with coldest attitude.

"It is my job to identify and ask about anything related to this expense sheet" I told him

"You know how long I've been here. More than your age. You are NO ONE to ask me about it"

"I don't care who you are. I am just following my job description. If you got problem with that then go to Mr. Ashar" I said keeping myself composed.

"Oh you dont tell me where should I go or what should I do. I know exactly how you 'assistants' work" he emphasize of assistant and mocked me.

"Excuse me" I objected

"Oh please. You girls just look for opportunity to get your pants down and sleep with boss, get pregnant so you can enjoy all perks."

Now I was teared eye. How can he think like that about me.

No more. I will not tolerate my insult anymore. Not by him or by Mr. Ashar

"You know so well about work of assistants" I now mocked him." Off course you should be knowing. Because thats how your daughter use to be working"

I knew he has a daughter. I have seen many in his documents which I use to prepare for visa things.

"HOW DARE YOU"

He yelled on top of his lungs with bloodshot eyes. He raised his hands to slap me when I again turned my face.

I was waiting to be slapped by him but it didn't come.

I turned around and saw Ashar holding Andrew's hand from his wrist.

Last time I saw Mr. Ashar in this much anger was when he was called by cops in charge of kidnapping. Mr. Ashar was in so much furious that I could see veins in his neck bulging out.

He came again to save me.

"HOW DARE YOU RAISED YOUR HAND ON HER" Mr. Ashar clenched his teeth, emphasizing on each word

I could see that Andrew wasn't expecting this.

"Mr. Ashar, did you see what kind of words she used for my daughter?" He said

"And what about those words you used for Sia?"Mr. Ashar asked him

Mr. Andrew was silent. I guess he felt the anger of Mr. Ashar

"Apologize, now" Mr. Ashar said.

"You're making me apologize to this slut" Andrew pointed his finger towards me.

Mr. Ashar curled his fingers and punched hard on Andrew's face and he fell down

"You're just a kid Ashar. You don't know the consequences of hitting me"

Andrew said.

"Oh I exactly know that" and he punched him again. This time, Ashar pushed Andrew to the glass door behind and puched him more.

"You are making mistake Ashar. You are hitting me for this ordinary secretary of yours who had slept with dont know how many men?" Andrew said.

Ashar was boiling with anger. He kept hitting him harder harder with his bare hands.

I never knew he have this much power

Andrew's eyes was red and swollen. And he was bleeding from nose.

"I bring revenue to your company, I handle the most important department of this company. Who is she?

Mr. Ashar holded his collar from both of his hands and pushed him upwards from floor.

"SHE IS MY WIFE DAMMIT! AND YOU ARE NO ONE... NO F***ING ONE TO SPEAK TO HER LIKE THAT" Ashar shouted on top of his lungs

I freezed as those words came out of his mouth. I couldn't believe he spoke. He broke his contract himself.

Moreover... He accepted me as his wife in front of whole office

I could feel eyes of each employee on Mr. Ashar and me. I wanted to run away to hide. To rewind this part of my life. But in vain..

I can do nothing ... absolutely nothing about it.

We dont live like husband wife.. so what's the point of announcing this marriage? and even like this?

"YOU ARE FIRED.. GET OUT" Mr. Ashar, with fury said to Andrew who was still in shock from this unexpected and sudden truth.

He left and now we have to answer questions.

I dont know whether to feel happy or sad.
