Seven

Nita frowned at the door; one of the things she hated was been judged by name. They hadn’t bothered testing Nita Green and were already of the opinion that she was going to fail. She sighed, guessing proving them wrong would be the sweetest revenge she could have on them for misjudging her.

She was about to open the door, when the door suddenly opened from inside, hitting her square on her forehead. Blood rushed to the spot, and Nita’s hand voluntarily spotted her forehead to lessen the pain.

She lifted her head up to glare at the guy in front of her.

“I’m sorry.” The guy blurt out while his gaze never left Nita’s face. “You are?”

She knew he had to be one of those that had undermined her, but she forced a grin his way. “I’m Nita Green; the new programmer.”

“Holy cow…” the guy meant to whisper, but Nita heard him clearly. He blinked at her and apologized. “I’m Sam Moore. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to be this beautiful Ms. Green.”

Nita blinked. “I had no idea appearance has anything to do with programming skills. Can I see the HR now?”

Sam blinked, not leaving the door. Nita had to point to the door before he realized he was blocking her access to the door. He moved away with a wide grin, “Sorry, Ms. Green. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Nita didn’t return the courtesy. She won’t say it was a pleasure when they had just been gossiping about her few minutes ago. She excused herself.

The HR was a fat man that barely contained his seat. He had a big stomach that made him look like he was pregnant, and he didn’t make any effort to sit upright in front of Nita. “You are?” he sounded bored by the question.

Nita had to remind herself that she wasn’t Cyborg but some nobody in the industry. “I’m Nita Green. I’m resuming as a newly hired.”

The man yawned as if she bored him with her introduction. He waved her off and said. “Ask for Mr. Moore, he will put you through.”

That seemed to be his dismissal of her. Nita sighed and left his office.

As soon as she opened the door, she met the same man still outside waiting for her at the door. He wore a wide smile that somehow irritated Nita for no reason.

“I am Mr. Moore. I’ll show you your office and introduce you to others.” His gaze drifted from her face to the swell of her breast. Nita cleared her throat before he looked up at her.

“Which way, Mr. Moore?”

Sam smiled. He led her through the busy office until they got to another floor which contradicts the floor they just left. It was silent and it was a peaceful environment Nita welcomed. At least there was something good about the work: the ability to work in a silent environment.

Sam introduced her to most of the workers whom weren’t that interested in working with a nobody.

They barely spared her a glance, not to talk of welcoming her. Sam had given her all the attention he thought he required, and he waited until she was fully settled in her seat.

Once Nita was settled and she saw that he made no attempt to leave her office, she raised a brow towards him. “Thank you, Mr. Moore. I believe I am settled for the day.”

Sam moved effortlessly and sat directly in front of her. He leaned into the chair while biting his lower lips, “You look beautiful, Ms. Green.”

Nita blinked. “Thank you, Mr. Moore. I’ll appreciate some privacy. I need to start working immediately.”

Sam crossed his leg, relaxing on the seat. He seemed too comfortable. “You know I can make your life easier here, Ms. Green. You don’t need to do anything and you’ll still receive your full salary.”

Nita nodded, “Is that so?”

His lips stretched into a thin line, “Yes. After the HR Manager, I’ve more power on who to employ and who to fire in this office. I promise you won’t have any cause to fear when you’re with me.”

She chuckled. It wasn’t enough that he badmouthed her behind her back, now he was trying to get laid with her. It amused her to no end. Slowly, she copied his posture; leaning on her seat with her leg folded. “So, what exactly am I to do?”

He already wore a wide grin, but at that moment it stretched wider, making Nita cringe in irritation. “All you have to do is be mine. Honestly, I am captivated by your beauty from the moment I saw you at that door.”

Nita stared at him as he lean closer to her; his breath hot on her nose, and he whispered as if he was about to tell her a secret, “Let me tell you something you don’t know. The company security breech is something a novice like you can’t handle. The C.E.O had employed professionals but they all seem useless and lost the contract in few weeks. Everyone knew the only one who could handle the job is Cyborg, but I can do you one favor. If you decide to be mine, I’ll make sure you don’t lose your job in this company. I like your face.”

He drew back, but his hand hitches forward, moving towards her face.

Nita glanced at it.

As it moved further to touch her checks, she caught his hand, twisting it a bit until he yelped for her to release it.

She stood up and placed her feet at the middle of his legs. “Mr. Moore, I’ll advise you to refrain from using those tactics on me.” She leaned into him, making him drew back. She lowered her head until she was face to face with him, “If you ever make such move again, Mr. Moore, I’ve no idea what I’ll do to you.”
