What do you think? Am I a psychopath Sarah?'
He said in a gravelly voice, gradually tightening his grip over Sarah's throat with his right hand while his left hand was holding Sarah's right hand with all his power, almost embedding it into the wall behind Sarah.
He was in his scariest look today. His eyes were red due to so much consumption of alcohol and Sarah was slowly running out of breath. It was just so dark in there and they were standing in the corner
'Say something, Sarah, why aren't you answering?' He said again in the same voice.
'Tell me before I lose it!' He yelled suddenly which made Sarah's eyes teary. She started to breathe heavily to survive this scenario and with all her energy and breath left in her, she said in a wheezy voice,
'I'm not able to breathe Mr Niall ...'
****
It all started one month ago...
Finally, my job hunt for today ends here cause I came back home, again, empty-handed. This means I have to go through the other job offers which have vacancies at this time. Usually, in my city, all the companies put the No Vacancy board on but this time doesn't know why. But I knew that now have to get a job anyhow, cause it's going to be almost a year after I left my mom's mansion-like house and now I think It's time for me to get individualistic and not be dependent on her. She has already done so much for me and it's time for me, to pay back.'
This is what Sarah Brown, a girl with dark brown hair and big eyes of pale green colour was thinking while sitting on the sofa of her rented house. Suddenly her phone rang, it was Lisa Edwards.
Lisa, a girl with long black hair up to the middle of her back and Super twinkling light black eyes is the only friend of Sarah, She is short in height and has a fair colour. Sarah knows her for two years when she went to her hospital to get the treatment for the first time. She had her reasons to get treatment but after that, they became friends, or if more precisely they became best friends.
'Hey Lisa, Wassup?' Asked Sarah joyfully. But all her joyfulness washed away when Lisa said with full excitement,
'There's again good news for you, guess what?'
'What?' Asked Sarah with a bored voice.
Sarah knew what the good news Lisa had again, cause till now she has gotten used to this line in this tone of her voice.
'Usually, they don't do so at this time but, there's a vacancy list out of a great company, and I'm sure they will hire you.' Said Lisa.
Earlier too many times Lisa has made Sarah go for interviews with different companies in the past two years but each company rejected her like she was a waste. Sarah knew that whatever this company was this time too, she'll hit the dead end of her job-hunting if she goes on this route, but the sentence that they'll hire Sarah ‘definitely’ made her wonder what makes Lisa so confident.
'Why are you so confident this time?' She asked feeling a bit better than a few seconds ago.
'Actually, they say they want a candidate who has less job experience and fewer qualifications as they need a manager for their CEO. ' Said Lisa.
'Oh really! Wow!!' Said Sarah again maintaining the boredom.
She baffled in whether Lisa was genuinely offering her an opportunity or was she making fun of her saying indirectly that she was less intelligent and less qualified. She was in no mood to appear for the interview and Lisa made her feel strong after telling her the name of the company,
'Oh c'mon! Sarah, don't be bored. It's actually a respectful company, do you want to know the name?'
'Not interested at all but, at least I should know the name.' Said Sarah.
'It's the Ambition!!' Exclaimed Lisa with full excitement.
'Hold on! You said earlier the post is the manager of their CEO, so you meant the manager of the CEO of The Ambition?' Asked Sarah with suspicion.
'Yah! CEO of "The Ambition." Isn't it exciting?' Said Lisa.
But Sarah had no excitement, as she knew who the hell was CEO, Niall Carter.
The person whose all the managers leave the post after working with him for a month only. The Ambition, stopped by Mr Johnathan Edward Carter, Niall Carter's father twenty-five years ago was the company that has never dropped down from the top five best companies of Asia since its last twenty years. After Mr Johnathan joined politics he handed over his company to his son Niall Carter.
Niall Carter also is in the top ten most famous business man's list of Asia but the stories of his resigning managers are still a mystery. He only hires lady managers and they leave after working for a maximum of one month under him. All these history things rewind and played in Sarah's mind as soon as she heard the company's name, thanks to all the newspaper articles she read. She made her mind that she'll never work under him cause God knows what he does to all his Managers.
'Leave it, I won't work for a mystery man.' Declared Sarah.
'Mystery man!! What do you mean?' Asked Lisa like she was all innocent.
'Don't tell me you don't know the history of all the managers.' Said Sarah furiously.
'History? Oh, you mean his managers. Don't worry at all I know you can handle it.' Said Lisa confidently.
'What? You're too mean, just because Niall Carter is your crush you want me to work under him. Though you know that he is a bit weird.' Said Sarah being frustrated.
She thought her denial will work, but she was forgetting something that Lisa Edwards is known for her persistency and her blackmailing behaviour towards her family and friends and Lisa knew that this trick always works whenever she hits a dead end.
'Mean!! Okay then, don't go there. But keep one thing in mind, never try to call me or meet me. This, was our last phone call. By Sarah. ' Said Lisa and was about to end the phone call.
'Okay fine!' Said Sarah and sighed feeling defeated.
'I'll go there.' She said finally.
'Oh really! I knew that you love me, Sarah.' Said Lisa.
'And you also know that your blackmailing always works on me, anytime.' Said Sarah sarcastically.
'Okay then, I'll call you tomorrow for listening to the good news. Bye.' Said Lisa completely ignoring Sarah's sarcastic comments and ended the phone call.
Now it was time to look into Niall Carter's background. Sarah searched every interview just to find out his real side, but as the whole world knows that this world we live in has no place for truth in Media especially, the same happened here too. Each article was dripping honey in his praise. Each interview showed how great he is and how intelligent and charming he is. But to Sarah's curiosity, no one mentioned anything about all the manager's resignation. She slept for just four hours and the whole night the thought that kept bugging her was, Niall Carter! What kind of person you are?...
Finally, I am on my way to the job hunt again. ugh! God! didn't you ever pity me for my situation? I don't think anyone's life could be such hell as mine, like how could anyone's life suddenly turnout as hell. Well, I just don't want this job. I...I just want to work somewhere else. Where the head above me is not weirder at all, at any cost. Thinking all this I didn't realize when I reached the stop. From there I have to walk about five to ten minutes to reach there and to save money ten minutes of walk is just a piece of cake.After walking, as I said almost ten minutes I found myself standing in front of a huge building on whose top "The Ambition" was written in bold blue letters. The whole building was painted white. From huge, I mean really huge!! It had almost 50 to 60 floors, but hey, I'm just too bad at guessing so. please don't judge. But I can guarantee that it could be around 20 to 25 floors.Well, whatever, as I was about to e
One day ago...'Mr. Niall, I have to leave this job cause my family and I are shifting somewhere else.' Said Amanda Wilkinson to me in a quavering voice and placed a resignation letter on my table. I don't know why but she was afraid that I'll find out somehow that this was her excuse and that's it, I already knew.'Yeah, why not. Just leave, I'm also fed up of your mistakes and accepting your apologies. So...Just leave!' I said and at last, I screamed my words.She walked out, but even though she tried to walk I knew she rushed out. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to control my apoplexy. She was really an irritating Manager. Her mistakes made me think sometimes that I should do the work that she was supposed to do. Despite asking her to do so with her zero IQ level. Well, she was gone and again I was compelled to find a new manager. Well, it was not that hard, Emma will help me. In all the women she is the only sensib
The next morning before the interview, Niall came into the Hall in which the interview was going to be taken. He was sitting there cause he needed some time alone because he wasn't able to sleep the whole night. He was happy and a bit of the nostalgic cause at the end of the day, he was going to meet her, finally. When no one came into the room for the next five minutes he stood up and went towards the big window which was on the left side of the room. He stood there thinking of multiple things at the same time. And suddenly his meditation got broken by a big thud,'Wait...now I get it he is a psychopath.' Said someone who was there in the room all this time without being noticed by him.When he turned around he found a girl with dark brown hair sitting in the room, alone. He wasn't able to see her face. So he asked,'Who?' and his voice echoed in the empty room.Sarah got scared of the voice which echoed in the roo
Jeremy stood in one corner of the lift chewing his chewing gum and wearing a denim jacket, unzipped and a white shirt which was almost transparent under that fashionable jacket. I admit, he looked handsome but a lot scarier than a man handsome. I stood in another corner of the lift to prevent any kind of conversation with him.I took out my phone started to look into it and Suddenly the lights of the lift started to flicker on about the 14th floor and suddenly the lift stopped on the fifteenth floor. But to my amusement, the door didn't open. I looked at Jeremy but he doesn't seem to be bothered by it. He was just listening to the songs which were being played on his earphones. I thought that might be for a second until suddenly, the lift started to go down recklessly at a very high speed. Due to the trembling of the lift as it started to go down I screamed my lungs out and got a tight grip on the handle of the lift. The lights were still flickering. I got a glimpse
Are you alright Sarah?' I asked as soon as I reached her table.She was sitting with all blank expressions like a mannequin sitting on the chair, breathing.And as soon as she saw me I thought she'll feel more relay but she got more worried. She stood up and said.'Emma doesn't take it anyways, we were just stuck in there, it's nothing like what you're thinking.' She said worriedly.'He was just...he just was calming me down cause I'm..I'm afraid of darkness.' She further in one breath.'It's alright..it's very alright, I'm not misunderstanding at all. Calm down and here drink this.' I said and handed over a bottle of water.She drank almost all the water present in it and finally she took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a bit.'Do you really trust me, Emma?' She asked and opened her eyes.'Hmm. I trust you.' I said.'But no one here trusts me, Mr. Niall doesn't
‘Sorry, Ms. Margret for this inconvenience but you know I really needed to shift here. It was urgent. I hope you and the girl living here don't mind.' I said.'Don't worry dear, it's fine. And don't worry Sarah is a nice girl. She will not mind at all.' Said Ms. Margret with a warm smile.'Sarah??' I asked not knowing to whom should I call with this name.'Your new roommate. She is a nice girl she'll help you. Treat her like your elder sister.' She said and patted my back.'Thank you, Ms. Margret.' I said.'Call me Aunt darling and mention not.' She said and took me upstairs.We went up and there was Brown's door. We knocked on the door and to my astonishment, the girl living there opened the gate faster than I thought. She looked.... ugly wearing a shiny red shirt and shiny red pants, obviously paired with it. Her hair was uncombed and I guess she was eating something cause...it could be seen on her right hand and mouth.
I sat in the car before him so to avoid any circumstances in which he could scold me.He came and sat in the seat right next to me. I looked at him and he didn't even bother to look at me.'Mr. Niall, you may please sit on the backseat comfortably, why are you sitting here?' I asked him with adding all honorifics.'I'm not sure about your driving and I don't wish to die all of a sudden in the morning.' he said arrogantly.I sighed in frustration and started to drive.'This..is for you.' He said and handed over a chocolate bar to me out of the blue as we reached the destination.'A chocolate bar? But why?' I asked.'Umm..take this as an apology from my side. Emma told me yesterday that you were afraid of darkness and Jeremy was comforting you.' He said looking in front.Oh! so you finally understood, you arrogant ass.'Thanks a lot, Mr Niall .' I said wit
As I rushed to the parking lot I saw a guy laughing in a low pitch and talking to someone. As I went in I saw that guy was Jeremy and on top of that he was with a girl there, flirting. I ignored them and towards my car but as soon as I reached my car I realized that my keys were still on my desk almost 20 floors above. I had to again go up. I turned around in frustration and saw Jeremy standing close to me. In reflex, I pinched him in the stomach, though that punch was very light he acted as if I had broken his some of the bones. He was the one who approached me and not me and asked me to get into his car. Though I refused many times cause he was acting all flirty but the fact that Anna was all alone in the house made me accept his favour.This all that happened, there was not a single time when I approached him, in the lift too when I squat down and closed my eyes he came and hugged me. Just to comfort me nothing else. But why Mr Niall and everyone is blaming me. W
