Rejected: My Life In A Nutshell

    

  I checked very well to see if there was anyone lingering around the hallway, and luckily, there was none.   

  When I passed through the interns window I noticed how they all looked at me, and they wouldn't stop murmuring. 

   Before I stepped my foot into the office, I made sure I looked gracious, great, mean and angry, at least a bit, although I was super weak, but just enough for anyone to not get in my way. 

    The Interns office was a huge and magnificent room and everyone had their own separate space. 

    I was a business administration intern and worked with the company's managers and every other intern thought I was special, but it was just one of the perks of the contract, only if they knew what kind of hell existed in there for me.

  I happened to glance at Halen's face and it was blank of course, and I noticed the eye contacts she made with her friends. I wished they would come at me already because I was ready for them. 

   Halen was my number one enemy, although I wasn't really sure why, but we can bottle it down to jealousy. How I wish we could swap places. 

  I took on my mood for as long as I could. And when the day's briefing started, somehow I was getting settled in. 

  However, I didn't want to forget it all, I couldn't just let it go. I had to strike back, and sure I was going to do it damn well.

   Halen and her coven of evil witches always picked on me, and one way or another I was planning to give them back a dose of their evil. 

  While the briefing lasted, although I looked like I gave it my undivided attention, it was only a cover up. 

   All the time I was on alert, so that I would know firsthand whatever they were planning, and I made the best use of my eyes and ears. 

  When the briefing was over, I discovered that I didn't grab an inch of what the supervisors said. I didn't care that much anyways. I had three officemates who did the most wicked thing to me and were probably looking forward to more, so yes. I had so much more to worry about. 

  

    "Arianne Hobbs?" A voice came in moments later. 

    "Yes?" I answered one of the CEO's secretary abruptly, I knew what it was about… 

   "Mr Jones request's your presence" she said and walked away. I avoided any eye contact, looking at anyone's face would make me feel awkward, but as usual, I was going to meet the CEO in his office. 

   I made haste and walked closely behind her; Mr Jones doesn't like being kept waiting. 

   She motioned to open the door once we stepped into his office corridor and I stopped her.

    "No, don't worry, Lucia." 

    "You sure? Ma'am?" She asked with a smile; we got along well ever since she knew that I was the CEO's wife, or rather, secret wife. 

    "Come on, stop with the ma'am thingy, call me by my name'' she nodded her head with a smile and left me to open the door.

    Sitting on an executive chair was a man on black suit, yielding a golden watch on his wrist with finely styled black hair. He had broad shoulders, with a pair of sexy brown eyes, a pointed nose, and a perfectly shaved thin mustache before an insanely chiseled jawline, propped under with handsome beards.

   His lips were full saucy, a gracious man to look upon, hot and irresistible, yet he made me feel weak and undeserving. 

    He let out a smile and my heart gushed at what was coming next "Hello, Arianne…" his voice had this kind of strength and power, that alone was hot, but he didn't treat me right. 

    I took a sit and returned the smile. He opened his drawer and brought out a wine and two wine glasses from his cabinet. 

    "You came late today, why?" He asked, filling the cups. I was a bit nervous and debated on wether I should tell him the truth or not. 

    "I didn't even want to come…" I said with a gulp. 

   He stopped filling the glasses and looked at me. "Why, my love?"

   "I don't even get paid—" 

  "You dare complain? Do you know how much your father owed? Millions of dollars, and unless you're ready to pay, don't com—" 

    "So it's all about money now? Is it? What about us, doesn't it mean anything to you?" My lips were begining to frail, I wasn't so strong and I couldn't even face him strongly, it seemed like whenever I was with him, I lose myself to him. 

    He chuckled, handed me over a glass of wine and stood… he walked behind me and placed his two hands on my shoulders, bending down to drop a whisper in my ear. 

    "You wonder if I love you, don't you? I do" he planted a kiss on my cheeks which made me smile a bit, but hidden enough. 

    He went back to his chair and just before then I saw a pair of undies on the side of his chair. 

    I gasped. "Oh my God, is there really no change for you? You say you love me but you cheat on me with other ladies?! How am I supposed to deal with that, Matt?" 

   I was beginning to shed tears, and couldn't wait any longer. "All the time I cry just because of you, and it doesn't touch you, you don't love me!" I said wiping off my tears with my hands. 

    He took a sip from his glass cup. "You're mine, so it's your body. Why do you resist? Until then, a man has needs" He said confidently. 

   "Because…" I was going to let it all out, tell him what a jerk he is, but I couldn't, he wasn't one to be messed with. Matt hated being disrespected or intimidated in anyway. 

    "You know what… " I sobbed, Cleared my face "I would rather give another man my body!" 

   "I would kill any man that touches you" he said with a light smile.

  "You wouldn't give me happiness, and you don't want me to get happiness from somewhere else, what kind of a man are you?" 

    "No, Arianne, don't you dare question my authority." 

   I ignored his words. "I'm a woman, I have needs too." 

   "Come live with me, but you won't. I will make you a queen, give you all you want and—" 

   "You mean make me your sex slave?" 

  His facial expression changed, and he would do anything rash in that mood. "Get out of my office, Arianne. Come back when you're sane" 

    I chuckled as tears drained down my cheeks. "You're now calling me insane?" I stood up and reached for the door, leaving his office at once.

   And I sobbed all the way home.
