FIRE & ICE Chapter 9 : Grumpy boss
ANUSHKA'S POVToday was my first day at my work and I was so excited but little did I know how rude and arrogant my boss was..The way she was looking over at me with such belittlement caused me to question my own capabilities. 'Did I even nail that interview or did Sammy just do me a favour?'I had thought to myself The question lingered in my mind but I had to convince myself that that couldn't be..I had down well with my interview and no favours was done but still ,I didn't know why her lack of acknowledgement towards me made my heart ache..I usually didn't take what people said to heart but for some reason I couldn't ignore her words..You could call me a cry baby or whatever but truth was that I wanted to cry but I couldn't give that arrogant woman the satisfaction of knowing that I was emotionally weak..She had already made out what she thought about me in her mind,so there was no point of humiliating myself even more than she already had..So all I
FIRE & ICE Chapter 10: Meeting the McKenzies
DANELLE'S POV It has been three weeks since that girl, Anushka became my secretary..Though I might have misjudged the poor girl on her first day and strongly didn't want to admit it but surprisingly she was great at her work and made sure she gave me no reason to complain..But still ,there was something about that girl that didn't excites me..I mean I didn't hate the girl nor did I dislike her but there was just something about her that just didn't mix well with me..Just seeing her face or hearing her voice annoyed the hell out of me..Ironically she was so beautiful and that soft voice of hers was like a morning song that would put you in a good mood forever but still, I was so cold to her whenever we talked..Maybe that was why she was avoiding to talk to me most of the times ,only did when it was about work..Though I wasn't technically soft even with everybody at the bank but with her it was just so hard to control my distaste and sadly I couldn't even
FIRE & ICE Chapter 11: Shameless emotions
ANUSHKA'S POV I was so shocked when Amaar told me who was on the other side of the call and as if I wasn't already hanging on a thin line with my arrogant boss, Amaar decided to sell me out as he stupidly said out loud what the ID caller had read while McKenzie was still on the line..I felt so embarrassed and I wondered what more my boss had made out her head about me now..I knew she didn't like me, not even a bit and now that she heard what I thought of her ,I prayed she doesn't make my life at work a living hell..Not that it was any better though..I was still going over there because I needed the money to provide for myself and my family otherwise I would have resigned on my first day ,when I learned how self-centered my boss was..It has been three weeks since I started working there and I still didn't know what was Ms McKenzie' problem with me..Like I did my job perfectly ,never have I gave her any reason to complain but regardless she was still so
FIRE & ICE Chapter 12: Snakes in the grass
DANELLE'S POV It was days ago when Sammy finally confessed to me that the girl she met at the graduation day a month ago was Anushka..I wasn't even surprised at all because I knew my best friend had no choice when it came to women..Always into plain Jane's and boring ass ladies ,sometimes I even wondered how was he able to stand women like that for so long and I tell you Anushka wasn't even close to being different from all the girls he dated..They all had everything in common , innocent faces that everyone would easily buy but me being the smart ass I was,already knew that was all bullshit ..There was one thing that really irritated me about Sammy ,was that he falls in love very quickly and that resulted to him getting hurt over and over again but the man didn't seems to learn..I tried to reason with him ,show him the clearer picture that women are nothing but snakes in the grass but no ,he doesn't get it ,what I seem to say was nonsense to him ..I can
FIRE & ICE Chapter 13: A squeeze to my heart
ANUSHKA'S POVNever in my life have I thought I would be sitting and listening to people talking way too erotically about someone ,not just someone but my own boss..Sure ,I was twenty-five ,turning twenty-six in a few months but I was still not comfortable talking about sexual things , intercourse or the lustful discussions..I was just not okay talking about those kind of things besides shouldn't sex be a private thing ? That was just not an appropriate topic to talk about especially in public but here my new friends who happened to be my colleagues were shamelessly discussing just that about McKenzie..It was me ,Jenny ,Nancy and Oliver ,we were on our lunch break at the cafe that was just about five minutes away from our workplace..The place had became our regular, more like I had just joined the trio because the cafe was already their forte ,even the manager of the place had labeled them his favourite customers..We sat close to the window ,with me and
FIRE & ICE Chapter 14: My beloved
DANELLE'S POVIt was on Sunday night when I was sitting at the balcony that was attached to my room..It has always been a habit of mine to sit outside and watch the dark beautiful sky at night..The sparkling stars ,somehow turned to calm and soothe me in the most peaceful way ever..Back at the days when I was still a child ,we would sit outside me and my beloved grandmother and she would read and tell me different stories until I fell asleep..Even without her now, I still continued the tradition just that I didn't read, I just sat out there and relaxed my mind..I was then interrupted from my thoughts when my phone rang ,it was a call from an unknown number..Usually I didn't answer unnamed cell numbers but I guess I got a little curious and answered it anyway.."Who is this?" I said bit harshly than I intended..Thing was I didn't like just a regular nobody having my personal phone number..Only few people had my number which meant they were either my famil
FIRE & ICE Chapter 15 : A hard pill to swallow
ANUSHKA'S POVIt felt like my own breathes were failing me ,my eyes were burning with tears and my heart felt like it had been stabbed multiple times by a sharp dagger..My knees got weak all of the sudden and my legs couldn't carry me any more as I pressed my back on the wall once I got in the elevator..My breathing accelerated with every second that passed ,my hand clung tightly on the fabric (my shirt) pressed to my heart as I tried to calm myself down..But it wasn't helping ,nothing was helping ,it felt like I was having some panic attack..I closed my eyes to let those tears that were blurring my vision to fall down my heated cheeks ,immediately what I saw in that office displayed in my eyes and I flew them open..I didn't want see that ,I shouldn't have seen that in the first place..I cursed myself from going back to that office to retrieve that stupid phone charger..I wouldn't have been feeling like this now ,as if seeing them at the cafe earlier did
