Aanya's POV:
I was certainly not welcome there anymore. If he even saw my face anywhere, pretty sure he is going to come after me. Now I need to hurry up to the hospital before my brother starts complaining about my lateness. Off we go!!
---At the hospital---
"Can I go now? I will be back tomorrow morning." Chester said
"Go and come back early tomorrow I need to go back to the apartment." He nodded and left.
I went inside dad's room and he was sitting in his bed using his mobile for something.
"Where did your brother go?" he asked
"To the library" I lied
"Did you know your brother has been skipping classes and going to parties?" I nodded no. My father hates being lied to but right now I would rather lie than get another lecture on how much of an 'incompetent' daughter and sister I am.
I gave him his dinner. It was rice and chicken. After that, he took his medicine and went back to his phone. I went outside his room and saw Nina there. Nina takes care of dad when I or Chester can't be here. She is sweet and polite. ladt in her 50s
"Hi, Nina. How are you?" I asked
"I am fine dear. I heard you went for an interview at the Rodriguez Industry. How was it?"
Just as I was about to answer the question my phone pinged. I murmured for a minute and took out the phone took to check the message. It was an e-mail from the HR Department of Rodriguez Industry. I read the email and the result was as expected. The job offer was declined. I really really need to try harder.
"Well, I think I just got my answer. I was declined. My interview was not that great so I am back to the café job as a waitress." I said with a sigh
"Oh dear, it's going to be okay. Be cheerful. You are going to get past these. I can see that your life is going to have a turning point from now on." I really hoped what she said was true. I need a turning point in my life.
I am going to have to go to the company tomorrow to take back some of my documents from there. I went back inside and got ready for the night and went to sleep.
Nighty Night!!
Aanya's POV: Chester came back around 8 in the morning by that time I was ready to leave the hospital and go back to my apartment. When I went back, first I cleaned up the place a bit as I left it messed up. After that, I made some breakfast – Hotdogs. I went to have a bath. I soaked in the cold water for 30 mins. After my bath I brushed my teeth again, after that, I applied the cream all over my body and sprayed some deodorant. I chose a cropped sweater and brown jeans. I wore a simple necklace with a single heart on the front, light makeup and straightened out my hair with a brush and left it out. I took my purse and phone with me and walked to the front door, got out and waited for a cab. When the cab came I went to the company first to take my document and when I gave the destination name the driver gave me a look of fear. When I got out of the cab I asked the driver to wait for me and he parked a bit away from where I got dropped off. I went to the front desk and saw the same l
Aanya's POV: "Hi, sir, What can I get you all today?" I was shocked when I looked up, it was the same icy blue eyes I saw earlier today but I quickly recovered. "I will have the medium Cappuccino and Croissant. Thanks." I tunred my head to the direction of the voice and I instantly recognized him from yesterday, he interviewed me. I noted down waht he wanted. "I took care of everything. Don't worry." Ryan told me after taking the orders from the other table, while he was walked past me. I nodded my head at him. Thanking him sillently for saving me. "I will have a Latte please." turning my attention back who is in front of me, the guy on the left said. I noted the order down and looked up again for the last person to speak but ice monster still hasn't said anything so I thought he didn't want anything so I said "I will have it brought over in a few minutes" and left. But before I could leave, "Did I ask you to leave?". I turned around making sure to mask my emotion and said "Is th
Aanya's POV: "What the fuck are you doing here?" the voice was as icy and empty as his eyes but it still stood out in the dark, like his voice. I quickly stood up but that seemed to be one of the worst decisions I made "I got lost. What the hell are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" my days, I am not thinking about who I am talking to. I hate my mouth for acting like a firecracker sometimes, I always knew this mouth of mine was going to get me in trouble. "The world doesn't revolve around you for me to stalk you. It is useless to me to stalk you. You are in my land. So, I have the right to be here." "I am sorry. I will leave now." I went past him and quickly got out of the alleyway. To be honest, I was going to ask him to show me a way out as I don't know which way I came from and I am scared of the dark but I knew better than to ask. But I guess I have a little bit of luck left and I just used it to come out. I walked back to my apartment but this time I knew someone was stal
Aanya's POV: When you don't have anyone else you would want your close friends with you. That's what Ryan and Charlotte were giving me, their presence and comfort. The whole of last week I was spent resting and getting back to myself in the hospital. I visited my dad and Chester twice that week. They don't know what happened to me and they will never know it. No one will know it except Ryan and Charlotte. Now I was back to work trying to forget everything. My phone rang and I took it out to see it was Ashley. "Hey Aanya, what's up?" she asked as soon as I took the call. "Hmm.. let me see. I see a grey and white ceiling. What's up there for you?" "A brain, duh..." "When did you become a murderer?" "I am not now but I may become one in the future. So you still working? How is everything over there?" "Well, yes I am still working and everything over here is.... okay I guess." "Are you busy?" "Erm... actually yes. Can I call you after getting home or tomorrow?" She said a quick
Aanya's POV: I was wearing a black sleeveless top and black pants with a grey blazer on top of it. I had a belt securing my pants in its place. I wore my black and white trainers with them. I was in front of Mr Alexander's office, as the assistant led me to, waiting for him to finish the meeting and to have a talk. 10 mins later he finished his meeting and I saw 3 people coming out of his office. I was called in after 2mins. I was shocked to see it was the same guy that took the interview for me that day. "Good Morning, Miss Grey. How are you doing?" he asked "Morning sir. Am doing good. Thanks" "Please call me Mason. As you know I am the vice president but you will be working for the CEO directly as his personal assistant, as the last one he had was a bit... of the wrong choice. Come on, let's walk and talk." "Okay" "What you are going to do for him is unknown to me as he is an unpredictable person. So, I would say to be prepared for anything, even unexpected travelling. 1 or 2
Aanya's POV: I don't know if he is mental ill or not, but personally I think he is. And I also don't know how I survived these 3 long weeks. Mental and a workaholic person. No heart, only brains. His demands are ridiculous. Schedule:8:00 am - I need to be in the office 8:30 am - Mr Rodrigues is in his office 8:45 am - He needs a hot tea with 2 cubes of sugar. After that, I need to read out his entire agenda for the day to him. Then he will give me a ton load of paperwork to finish. 1 1:30 am - He needs another hot tea. 1:00 pm - Exactly at that time he needs his lunch on his table, hot. The shop he needs food from is next door but it is busy as hell, it takes one hour to get the food. 3:00 pm - He needs his coffee with 1 cube of sugar in it. After that, he gives me another set of paperwork to complete before 5 pm. The first two days were chaotic. Sometimes he would have a meeting out of nowhere and I have to go with him. After the office work, I still need to go to the cafe an
Aanya's POV: "Do you want me to take action against him? " Ashley asked "Erm... yeah no thanks. I think I will manage on my own. And I am sure you don't want to cross paths with him. " "What the fuck? Which bloody company do you even work for? You said you got a job but you never mentioned where." "TheRodriguezIndustries," I said quickly fearing her reaction."Oh, I am sorry. I don't speak Googoo gaagaa " she said not understanding what I said "Gurl, the f*ck. I said The Rodriguez Industries. " "WHAT THE FUCK!! Yes, I don't want an encounter with that guy. " she said and started laughing hard "and you work for him as his personal assistant." she laughed more "Yeah, it's not going to be funny when you get my head delivered to you on a silver platter, is it? " I said but she just laughed more. This girl. "Well, I need your help. I had to go to dinner with him to meet a client of his, but he didn't say how to dress up but the restaurant I reserved for him is a nice rich one. So? "
Aanya's POV: Some people are excited and giddy to be the centre of attention whereas there are some people who would rather have sharp objects thrown at your heart than be the centre of attention. Yes, I am the latter. It kills me every milli-second knowing someone has got their eyes on me. "Aanya come in," Mason called out from the room. Before I could even sit down he said "Quit your job over here" "What?" "You heard it. You are dismissed from being my P.A. " "You can't do that. I need this job. " "Aanya don't listen to him. Ignore what he said and listen to what I am saying, okay? " I nodded and turned to him "Aanya, the media needs more juice, the board of directors needs an explanation, the stocks have been going down, and many more because of the incident. So, we decided that you are to quit but you are going to get married too... Evan" Mason explained "What!! No, I can't marry him. People will start questioning me and my family will kill me.""Trust me I thought of eve
