Chapter one: "coffee "

The electric gate opened and the Lamborghini vehicle drove into the building and parked at the car parking spot.

The driver, Mr Hugh comes out of his vehicle and slams the door shut, he turns to the other side of the vehicle and opens the vehicle. Mr Vikram steps out and the driver adjusts his collar before he leaves, walking majestically into the building.

As he steps into the building, staff panic and two men rush toward him, taking his suitcase and trying to make him comfortable. As he walked in, anyone he walked close to paused and bowed to him.

"Welcome sir, Welcome sir "  Voices echoed as he walked in their midst. His aura evokes fear and coordination among everyone in the company.

Everyone there was shocked to see him as he came unannounced. Vikram is the CEO of Kramvis House. The largest company in the country. 

As he steps into his office, the secretary immediately rushes, following him, and hurriedly wipes his seat before he sits down on it.

Slouching on his chair, he looked up at the secretary Miss Catherine who was still standing and waiting for his command.

"Coffee" Vikram commanded and she hurriedly left to bring it to him. 

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

 "Come in," Mr Vikram said while engaging in the files he held. Catherine carefully walked to his desk and placed the coffee on his desk and took a step back from him, patiently waiting for a go ahead from Vikram before she left for her duty space.

Mr Vikram lifts his face and pierces his blue eyes in hers making her heart palpitate. He opens his mouth to talk but stops. He looks at her face and beckons on her to come closer.

She takes a step closer to him and Vikram lifts the coffee cup and pours the half of coffee on her gown making her shriek from the heat of the coffee.

Then he pours the rest on the floor. "Get a mop and do your job" He finally spoke and Catherine nodded meekly as she tried to hold the tears back from falling from her eyelids.

She was really hurt from the coffee heat he poured on her and felt it had burned her a bit. As she leaves his office, she wonders what she had done wrong to make him pour coffee on her.

Catherine dreaded seeing the CEO because he scared the hell out of her and everyone at work, especially with his piercing blue eyes that rained ice. Ice in his personality and words.

"Oh no, what if I was on my menstrual period and I was with no pad? This is how I would be drenched, oh God. I .. Thank God my period ended yesterday ", Catherine muttered as she picked up the mop stick to go and clean up.

It was not Catherine's duty to mop or do any cleaning job but she had to obey the command from the highest authority.

In Mr. Vikram's office, as he reviewed most of his documents flipping through the pages and checking out stuff from the Apple computer before him, Catherine was busy mopping.

Catherine was about to leave his office to return the moping instruments when he said "Get me another coffee"

 Catherine stutters and nods "Yes Mr Vikram". She opens the door and leaves to get him coffee.

Soon, she was back in Vikram's office with the coffee, "Here it is sir" She announced, dropping it on his desk again. She takes a step back and Mr Vikram looks at the coffee first and then at her. He smiles and nods his head, then he spills the whole coffee on the floor.

"Do your job"

"Yes..yes, yes sir"  She stammered and rushed out immediately to get the mop.

She comes back and cleans the spilled drink on the floor. "Now another coffee?" 

Her heart skipped a bit and fear enveloped her when he demanded another coffee.

"Okay sir" She gets another coffee and places it on his desk. He looks up at her and smiles.

Lifting up the cup, he takes a sip and drops it. While he dropped the cup without pouring it on the floor, Catherine's heart rate started beating normally.

"What if I continue pouring this coffee, you 'd continue cleaning till it's past your work hours?" He asked with his eyes focused on the computer screen.

Catherine's brain fought for the right answer to give but couldn't find none and so she couldn't say anything in response.

"You can't say nothing?" He lifts his lips in a smile looking up from his screen he fixes his eyes on her.

"Do I owe you an explanation for why I spilled the drink on you?" He asked.

"What do I tell him? Oh my gosh. I am tired of this Job already it's all fear and suffering. Even though it pays well..it still doesn't cater for all my expenses" Catherine said in her head.

"I need an answer!!" Vikram demanded, snapping her out of her reverie.

"Yes sir" She stuttered mistakenly answering his call.

"Okay, I'll tell you, Catherine. First, you dropped the coffee without telling me or asking. Secondly, the milk in the coffee was too much.

And you made the mistake for the second time and the third time again. I know I have answered your question" Vikram responded, speaking slowly with one word at a time.

"Oh no, no sir" She mistakenly muttered. She was about to say she didn't deserve an explanation from him when he shot a glare at her.

"Oh really?" Vikram asked narrowing his eyes. " It's obvious that you are the boss here" He paused taking a careful look at her.

Catherine could feel her palms and thighs sweating already. She opened her mouth to talk and explain that she made a mistake but quickly shut up to prevent further complications.

Vikram continued "So I want to show you who the real boss is here now. You…are fired.."
