CHAPTER 3

Nicole pov 

I'm still in a state of panic and intense anxiety.

Why!

Why am I so out of luck?!

I still can't believe he's going to be my new boss.

I thought about what transpired between us earlier today.

I thought about what I said to him.

Ahhh…. I'm finished!

Why did I say the things I said to him?

I should have been nicer with my words.

Would he perhaps fire me for what I said ?

No!

I can't get fired!

No, I need this job!

I have  bills to pay,I have a mother to take care of.

I have to calm down and think!

I took a few deep calming breaths.

I glanced at the man sitting at the forefront…He introduced himself as Ethan Cain.

When he didn't look in my direction,I lowered my head and covered half of my face with my long wavy hair.

Right now,all I was praying for was that he wouldn't notice me.

Every minute and every second was unbearable for me.

I was extremely happy when the meeting ended.

I sneaked out of the conference room like a thief with the thought that he didn't notice me at all.

The first thing I did when I returned to my desk was to tell Nora everything that happened .

“That must be a joke, right”

“Do I look like I am joking?” I asked, agitatedly.m

Her eyes widened in shock “then you should be happy, girl. You slept with a hot,smoky man.”

No girl ,don't tell me that.mm I'm worried that he might try to get back at me and probably fire me.. I still have my mother to take care of. I can't afford to be jobless right now.”

Oh God,what have I got myself into.

I should have been more cautious about myself.

I shouldn't have had a one night stand.

I shouldn't have given him 200 dollars.

And I shouldn't have insulted him.

Why am I in such a frustrating situation?!.

Nora tapped my shoulder. “Don't worry too much he didn't notice you at all.

The manager’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Nicole, Mr White wants to see you in his office now.

Oh 

I'm Dead.

I shakily knocked on the door of his office.

“Come in”. His deep voice announced.

Reluctantly , I walked in.

I was nervous as hell.

I can't believe the man who was on a bathrobe this morning turned out to be my boss.

Life indeed is full of surprises.

Too bad…I didn't like this surprise…I don't like it at all.

I stood there quietly, while he continued to go through some documents without acknowledging my presence.

Releasing a breath I didn't know I was holding,I began, “Mr white, you sent for me?”

He lifted up his head and I offered him a cheerful smile.

Maybe he could see me differently…as a nice person that I am.

He stared at me from my head to my toes .

He's eyes were dark and cold.

I felt very uncomfortable and I tried my best not to tremble like a leaf.

He leaned back on is chair and Said, nonchalantly,” I thought the people working for me would be responsible.i didn't expect to see you here.

I felt slapped.

Yes…. I made a mistake last night but .that doesn't give him the right to talk down on me or think I'm irresponsible.if there's one thing I hate.. it's being looked down on.

Before I could think,I replied “well,it isn't professional to talk about one's private lives at work,sir but while we're at it, you really shouldn't play the saint here.

The expression on his face hardend.

Damn it.

It seemed I have made the him more furious than before.

I'm definitely getting fired!
