Kylie's P. O. V
How could it be possible? How can he be here, standing in front of me? The world suddenly stopped moving under me from the moment I saw him. It can't be him after all this year. But my eyes cannot lie to me. It is Sebastian, my ex-boyfriend, who is currently talking with Mr. Sterling junior, my current boss. Though many things changed in him I can still remember every single thing about him. I have been seeing this man every night in my dreams. But the man in front of me was nothing like the Sebastian I used to know four years ago. The Sebastian I knew before had always a happy aura around him and a boyish smile plastered on his face. But the man standing with my boss has a cold aura around him and there is no sign of a smile on his face. Suddenly both of them turned around and our eyes met for the first time in four years. He also seemed a bit taken aback after seeing me here. It was sure he didn't expect me here. After looking at me for a couple of minutes the surprise in his eyes was replaced with a cold stare. He looked away from me to Mr. Sterling.
"Won't you introduce me to the employees of this floor?" Sebastian stoically asked Mr. Sterling.
"Of course Mr. Smith please come with me," Mr. Sterling then walked up to us where we all were standing in a line to be introduced to our new CEO. "Meet your new CEO Mr. Sebastian Smith the CEO of Smith Industries." he addressed all fourteen of us. "Mr. Smith these are the fourteen staffs who work on the Executive floor and will be following your orders and working with you from now on. Please come with me I will introduce them to you one by one." saying that Mr. Sterling took him to the other end of the line. I heaved a sigh as I was standing at the end of the line. Cindy noticed my uneasiness and leaned closer to me.
"Are you feeling okay? You are looking pale as a paper," she commented more like mocked me.
"I am having a stomachache," I lied to her. Couldn't find a better excuse for my uneasiness. I looked at my other coworkers. They were busy introducing and greeting our new CEO. The line was coming to an end soon it will be my turn. I closed my eyes to control the nervousness inside me and heard Mr. Sterling introducing Cindy. My heart skipped a bit, next is my turn.
"Mr. Smith this is Cindy Parker, she will be your assistant from now on," said Mr. Sterling. I opened my eyes and looked at them. Cindy extended her hand with her signature smile.
"Welcome to Star Advertisement Mr. Smith. It will be a pleasure working under you," she said in her sweet voice while shaking her hand with him. He just nodded to her with his cold face. Then turned to me and we stood face to face. I can see his face closely now. His perfect jawline, perfect long nose, perfect blue eyes, and thick brows. Everything was the same as before with more maturity in them.
"She will be your personal secretary in Star Adv. from now on," I got back to reality after hearing Mr. Sterling's words. Only then did I realize that I was staring at him all this time. I cleared my throat and looked away from him. Mr. Sterling continued, "This is Kylie Johnson....," Mr. Sterling was about to say something more but Sebastian stopped him by raising his hand.
"We know each other well," he said and I snapped at him and realized he was staring at me intently. "What a pleasant surprise we met again," saying that he pulled me into a hug. I stiffened as soon as our bodies touched. His familiar masculine scent hit my nostrils and made my whole body paralyzed for a moment. He pulled away and looked at me with a smile that was so different from his carefree smile. It was more like a warning before a great storm. I realized I was silent all the time and everyone was waiting for my reply. I straightened my body and put on a professional smile.
"Good to meet you too Mr. Sebastian," I replied professionally. I can't trust him after what he did with me four years ago. I have to put on my guards around him.
"You said you know Kylie, how do you know her?" Cindy asked out of the blue. I cursed her in my mind and glared at her so that she can control her gossip addiction just for once. But Sebastian seemed very happy about her question he gave me a meaningful smirk and opened his mouth, "She was my.." he stopped after saying those words and looked at me for my reaction. I can't possibly let him spill our past in front of all of my colleagues. I will be the center of their gossip for the whole year if they knew the truth. So I finished his sentence. "Junior, I was his junior in college later I transferred from there," I explained with a smile. Everyone seemed to accept my lie except for two-person. One was Sebastian who knew the exact truth and another was Cindy my best friend who was staring at me like she knew I was lying.
"It is a plus point then, Mr. Smith. Kylie can show you around and help you to get to know the company better. So I will take my leave now. Kylie will show you to your office," Mr. Sterling exclaimed and left after bidding goodbye to all of us. I was standing there like a statue and thinking about the possibility of finding another job as soon as possible.
"Won't you show me my new office, Miss Johnson?" he said with a smile like an angel. I didn't have any other choice than to lead him to the CEO's office. I opened the door for him and he followed me with a smile. After showing him around his new office I was about to leave him alone when he made me stop by pulling my hand. I couldn't control my balance and collided with his hard-muscled chest. He grabbed my chin so hard that it started to pain but he didn't loosen his grip. He leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear in a cold but dangerous tone
"Where do you think you are going? I found you after four years. I will make sure this time you couldn't leave. I will make your life a living hell, Kylie Johnson. You will curse your fate every day that you met me again in this life." he then pushed me aggressively and my body hit the wall. I winced in pain. "Welcome to hell Kylie, this is just the beginning."
I stiffened at his cold tone and couldn't find an answer what have I done to him? It was he who betrayed me four years ago. Then why is he behaving like I was the reason for all this?
Third person's P. O. V Kylie came out of the CEO's office looking lost. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realize where she was going and bumped into the door of her office. "Ouch", she cried out in pain and rubbed her now-red forehead. "Watch out girl. Where were you lost?" Cindy asked her from behind. Her voice was full of concern. "I was just thinking about something, don't worry I am okay now." Kylie opened her office door and entered her small office followed by Cindy on her back. She went to her chair and Cindy took the chair opposite her. "You seemed lost since this morning, don't tell me the dream of your ex is still haunting you here," Cindy tried to crack a joke but Kylie didn't seem to laugh at her little approach. Which made Cindy worried for her best friend. She placed a hand on Kylie's hand and squeezed softly. "Hey, what's bothering you? You know that you can tell me anything right? Is it something related to your father's health?" Cindy asked with co
Third Person's P. O. VKylie ran out of the room out of embarrassment. She never felt this humiliated in her life. Her white blouse was soaked with black coffee. She went directly to the washroom to clean her dress. Cindy saw her running to the washroom so she followed her to the washroom.In the washroom.......Kylie was looking at her reflection in the big mirror. Her white blouse became black with the coffee stain. Her eyes were red due to crying and her mascara was all over her face. She recalled back what just happened to her. Sebastian was never like this when they were dating. Or she never got to know the real him? cause the Sebastian she met today was the total opposite of the old Sebastian she used to love.She was lost in her thought when Cindy burst into the washroom. The moment her eyes fell on Kylie she became shocked. She rushed to her and hugged Kylie to calm her down. Though they are just been friends for the last two years Cindy knew her better. She knew about the ner
Sebastian's P. O. VIf she thought she could get away after playing smart with me then she was overestimating her intelligence. I won't let her go that easily this time. She has to pay for what she did in the past. I will make her beg for death to me. I become a beast every time I reminisce about my past and her betrayal.knock.... knock......."Here comes my prey," I smirked after hearing the knock on my office door."Come in," I said then concentrated on the laptop screen pretending to be engrossed in work. Though it was tough to concentrate on anything with the clicking sound of her high hill. So I fixed my eyes on her."You asked for me, Sir?" she asked with a fake smile plastered on her pretty face. How couldn't I see the intentions behind this pretty face in the past?"Sir?" her voice pulled me back to the present."I need you to accompany me to somewhere after office," I said and patiently waited for her response. She seemed to think for a while before replying to me."But, Sir
Kylie's P. O. VI still couldn't believe he humiliated me in front of everyone saying that I wanted to seduce him. What had gotten into his mind? Why is he treating me like this? As if it wasn't him but me who was responsible for our break up. I wish I could just leave this job but I had no other choice but to continue working under him.Earlier today.......I reached the office earlier than my usual time this morning. I had to complete a few files before Sebastian came. I was also planning to leave early today to visit my father. But life never stops surprising us."I thought you had a problem waking up in the morning when you were in college. But it seemed you had changed a lot and became an early bird, impressive," Sebastian retorted. I looked up to see him leaning on my cabin door."Good morning Mr. Smith. Do you need anything?" I asked him as professionally as I could. Though in my head I was writing a book about 'fifty ways to shove off a jerk boss'."No, thanks," he said and le
Sebastian's P. O. V Her teary eyes tormented me the entire night. I couldn't sleep at all so decided to go to the office early morning. On my way to the office, I paused and peeked inside her cabin. There she was engrossed in her work. I checked my watch, it was only 7.30 am. The office time starts at 8 so why did she come so early? She always loved her morning sleeps. I couldn't resist myself from asking, "I thought you hated mornings, how did you become an early bird?" She looked up from the file and my eyes met with her big amber eyes. They were still the same from my memories. "Good morning Mr. Smith. Do you need anything?" she asked with a fake professional smile reminding me about our present relationship. "No, thanks," saying that I turned back to my office. I didn't want to think about the past so it's better to leave her on her own for today I guess. I was too busy with my work to check on the time. But the commotion coming from outside of my office door was too loud to
Kylie's P. O. VI stood frozen in front of his big wooden table as he slowly placed three papers in front of me on top of the table."What are they?" I asked in a broken voice. Crying for a long time made my throat swollen."You can read, so go ahead and read them," he said with a smug look, placing his hands on the armrest of his big swivel chair.I took the first paper swiftly as I was short of time. It was a marriage registry from. Was he kidding me? I grabbed the next paper and it shook me to my core. A slavery contract? He wanted me to be his sex slave for one year? I looked at the last piece of paper. It was a cheque of fifteen million dollars but there wasn't any signature on it."Are you making fun of my situation? What are they?" I yelled at him as anger surged through my veins."I am not making fun of anything and I am interested in doing so. I am simply making a deal, you know as a businessman," he said with a smirk."What kind of business deal consists of a slavery contrac
Kylie's P. O. VBy the time I came out of the CEO's office, I realized the full executive floor was empty. I searched through the floor for Sebastian but couldn't find him. Desperately I dialed the number of the receptionist, Clara."Mr. Sebastian left for his home about an hour ago. He asked me to inform you that if you have some urgent business deal to discuss with him, you can go to his apartment."I hung up the call. Damn you Sebastian Smith, I cursed out loud. It was already 7 in the evening and I need to deposit the money before 10 pm. I have to get his signature on the cheque before that.Without wasting any time, I rushed to the elevator. When I reached the exit, it was heavily raining. Can this day be any worse?It took me another fifteen minutes to get a cab. I was fully drenched when I stood in front of his apartment building. The guards eyed me down from head to toe before dialing intercom."Mr. Smith is waiting for you, please take the elevator on your left and go to the
Sebastian's P. O. V I watched her running away in the rain from the big glass wall of my apartment. I would be lying if I said I didn't feel sorry for her. Seeing her drenched in the rain, shivering from the cold made my heart soft for a bit. But when my eyes fell on her face memories of the past replayed back in front of my eyes. Her lies, and her betrayals all came back like the freezing water drops of the rain and woke me up. I first met Kylie four years ago at the welcome party for the freshers. Among all the girls, a cute simple natural beauty caught my attention. It was love at first sight for me. I was on cloud nine the day she accepted my proposal and became my girlfriend. I was so proud of her because I was her first kiss, the first man to ever touch her. Though I never revealed my identity as a billionaire heir we were happy. But she turned out to be a gold digger bitch as my Dad told me about her. FLASHBACK..... I was in a very bad mood because I had another fight with m
