I backed away from him but he reached to me and pulled me again with my arms to him, checking my wrists, they are bruised, well should I even be surprised? no, they’re still throbbing with pain.
“what happened to your wrists? ” he asked, worried.
“nothing. ” I said simply with a nonchalant expression, should I even bother telling him the truth? obviously no, it would be a waste of energy anyway, he doesn’t even believe that his cousin is crazy let alone that he attacked me and almost choked me to death.
not bothering with my answer he pressed a bit on my bruises to which i hissed and sent him a deadly glare, but he only chuckled at my reaction.
“I thought you said it was nothing. ” he teased with a smirk.
“it was a polite way to tell you that it’s none of your damn business but I guess you don’t really appreciate it. ” I said and his expression turned serious immediately. ignoring him I reached my hand to fix my hair, or more like trying to cover the bruise on my neck, but unfortunately he saw it and pulled my hands down with one of his and pushed my hair behind my ears with the other. then he grabbed my chin with his fingers turning my head to the sides to check it well, all the time with the same worried look that made me want to roll my eyes, and so I did with a sigh unable to control my expression.
“now you can’t convince me that THIS is nothing. “
“it’s still none of your business though. ” I said back which made him shake his head and sigh.
“April, i’m serious you can’t expect me to ignore those bruises, maybe on your wrists, but your neck? it’s no joke, it’s for your safety and well being. ” he tried to explain calmly and softly.
“if you want my well being you should already start thinking about how to make things right after what you did and not here bugging me to tell you something I don’t want to, and I prefer to die with dignity rather than humiliated and considered as a wh*Re. “
“don’t say that, you know you’re not, and stop talking about depressing things like death. “
“why should I stop saying that? isn’t that what you thought of me from the beginning, and that’s what you made me seem like too, not to forget that almost everyone around have the same opinion too. “
“you know you’re not April, it doesn’t matter what people think. “
“I sure do know i’m not, but sometimes people opinions do matter, don’t try to cover your actions with this sweet talk, I ain’t naive nor stupid. “
“i apologized already, and i’m trying to fix it.”
“oh wow, i’m touched, if you’re referring to the apology yesterday I ALREADY said it’s rejected and if you’re referring to the kiss, it’s by no means an apology. ” I mimicked the way he said already.
“no, that was just-“
“an act I know, we’ve already talked about it before I would’ve just appreciated it if you mentioned about it before. ” I cut him off and he kept quiet for a few seconds just looking at me.
“so what did you need me for? ” I asked him frankly because I wanted to get away as soon as possible, my mind in is in a turmoil right now and i’m afraid if I stay longer with his endless questions I might have an anxiety attack or worse.
“can’t my ‘girlfriend’ just come to see me during break without a reason? ” he asked me back slyly.
“no she can’t, she’s busy, now excuse me I have some unfinished work to do before lunch break is over. ” with that said I got up immediately, my palms started to Sweat and my breath uneven. only to be stopped by Adrean again, he caught my by the wrist a bit higher from where the bruise is.
“what’s wrong? ” he questioned suspiciously.
“nothing, I said i’m busy, let go of my hand please. ” I said trying to free my hand, but all my efforts were useless as he just tightened his grip.
I lost control of my emotions, I was angry yet at the same time scared, sad and depressed, damn it, it’s really not the right time for these mood swings, all kind of thoughts were swirling in my head but the worst one is that ‘I want to cry’, I know I shouldn’t, I have to stop crying already, I know it but I just can’t help thought, it’s out of control by now.
upon seeing my unfocused state Adrean stood up immediately and cupped my cheeks, lifting my face so that my eyes meet his.
“April, just tell me what’s wrong? ” the worry in his face was more obvious by now. but I didn’t answer him just shook my head a no continuously still trying to get away. and I did making a bee line towards the door.
wrapping an arm around my waist Adrean pulled me away from the door just when I was about to open it.
“I won’t let you go out in this state. “
“which state do you mean just let me f***ing go. ” I snapped at him and I can say he was taken aback, whether it was due to my little outburst, or the curse i’m not pretty sure.
after few seconds of silence I slapped his arm away from my waist and headed out, which made me bump into someone.
“i’m sorry I.. ” I started but stopped the second I realised who it was.
“it’s improper to listen to other’s conversations secretly especially when one of them is your boss. ” I said but Sacha just sneered at me.
“I couldn’t help it, you’re just entertaining me so much these couple days. ” she smirked but I was kind of confused, and my anger level right now is out of control.
“oh, don’t play innocent, I heard about your little incident this weekend. “
“good for you, now move aside. ” I tried to walk away but she stopped me again.
“what happened to all that confidence and arrogance you had before, bragging about your boyfriend and how he cares about you. it seems like they were all lies or rather some illusion.”
“listen well Sacha, the only illusional one here is you,because if you didn’t realize even if i lose Adrean whether now or later, you already know that the person i’m losing to isn’t you by any means. ” I said and was about to walk away again when she stopped me.
“I don’t advice you to keep that attitude with me sweetheart. ” she threatened in a calm voice.
“or what?? you’re going to make me pay the price??” I chuckled humorlessly before staring dangerously into her eyes taking an intimidating step towards her. “as for now and this moment in particular I’m the one to advice you, to keep away from me because you certainly won’t like what I can do. ” she gulped hard and I noticed the hesitancy in her eyes before she masked it and plastered her bitchy expression again.
“what are you gonna do? tell your ‘boyfriend’ to fire me because you don’t like me? ” she mocked me and I let out another humorless chuckle.
“what a pathetic idea, I don’t play games nor do I make it cheap. you can be a secretary as long as you want. “
“what do you mean? ” she asked obviously sensing the sarcasm in my voice.
“you can keep running his errands and running around for him sweetheart I don’t mind. “
“huh, at least I have a job that I’ve earned with my own qualifications. “
“whether I got my job honestly or not, you can’t change the fact that when I sit in a meeting room, while he asks and NEEDS my opinions, you’ll be sitting there next to him writing notes of whatever I would say.”
“you-” she was about to say something when I cut her off.
“has he ever glanced your way complemented your looks or new dress, or even thanked you genuinely because he appreciates you and not only out of Manners since it’s your job and being paid for it? no right? I sincerely advice you now to consider your life and goals, instead of running around to make his coffee and schedule. “
“there is nothing wrong with being a secretary. ” she said with glassy eyes, she was obviously trying not to cry.
“of course there isn’t, it’s a respectful job after all, and well paid too since this is a big company and you work under one of the biggest shareholders, but is it wrong to keep hoping that your boss will someday look at you and dump his girlfriend for you? is it wrong to keep acting like a boss around here just because you’re his secretary? of course it is, that’s the only sincere advice I can ever give you, consider your life choices. you’re trying to bring me down, so what? what would it ever bring for you? even if I get dumped he would go to his ex anyways,and even if he doesn’t and comes to you, I’d always have my respectable job and career to keep while you’re ruining yours with these thoughts you’re having, and never Cross me again if you know what’s good for you.” I said then went away leaving her stunned and speechless. I don’t usually brag or even talk rudely to people but someone needs to wake her up from whatever pathetic dreams she’s living with.
once in my office I started working immediately trying to distract myself as a desperate way to get rid of my anger, but it didn’t work, like not at all I can’t even count how many employees I scolded this afternoon, not that was directing my anger at them, that’s not professional and what happens in my personal life is none of their business, but they were looking for it since a few of them didn’t finish the job while others didn’t do it properly.
