Chapter 11 "F*cked by life"

                         Amara's pov

"How do you know that she was about to come here? And how does she know me?" I whispered in Aiden's ear as we sat side by side at dining table in the kitchen while Aiden's mom is busy cooking. Yeah, we just ate but it's 3 hrs ago now. And I'm hungry.

"It exactly takes two and half hours for her to reach here from her home." he whispered back making me ticklish. Did I ask about the time? Answer to my question properly.

"But how does she know me?" I whisper yelled slightly being frustrated.

"You must have met one of her friends on the way." I heard a deep voice coming from the other side and I flinched from the sudden impact. It was that scary guy "Derek". He appeared out of nowhere. When did he come actually!? I don't know. Now I'm in the middle. Aiden and Derek were sitting on my either sides. Are they trapping me indirectly so that I couldn't escape? But it worked.

"Her friends. They communicate fast. And I literally mean it when I said fast!" Aiden finished. So, she's thinking me as Aiden's girl friend? But why is she so happy. He looks rich, normally rich son's moms would throw a fit when their sons bring their girlfriends. Then what the hell is happening here?

"Why isn't he in his butler's uniform?" I whispered leaning towards Aiden.

"It's past 5 right! He practices till 5'o clock. And then................"

"And then what?" I asked curiously. I don't know why but this fake butler guy looks mysterious and Umm interesting I guess.

"He sleeps!" Aiden whispered back with a shrug. Wait.......... What? He sleeps? From evening 5 to morning? What? I said widening my eyes in shock as I took a glance over the poker faced man who is now in his casual clothes. I need to admit it he looks more handsome in normal clothes with his raven haired bangs covering his forehead and his cute little nose is beyond adorable. He looks like a baby.

"Here!" I whipped my head when I heard a sweet kind voice and saw that all the space on the dining table is now filled with dishes made by Aiden's mother. I gulped down looking at all of them. They all are my favorite dishes and the worst thing is I've been procrastinating my diet and I was too determined yesterday that I should go on diet from today. May be God doesn't want me to go on a diet. Fuck it. I'm gonna eat all of them.

"Don't hesitate and eat to your heart's content." her sweet voice made it's way to my mind that's it, I lost my control.

..................

"How's the food, honey? Did you like it?" Mrs. Parker asked with anticipation in her eyes. I'm being honest the food was beyond delicious. Even before I could reply her someone inturrepted me.

"She swept out everything placed in her plate. See! and I wonder how can a girl eat that much?" excuse me what? I glared at the poker faced man who looked like he didn't get effected by my fiercy glares. Hey! I'm trying to be scary atleast you could pretend to get scared to comfort me Derek.

"Can you repeat what you said a while ago?" I looked at him with the most angriest and scariest look that I could ever make while gritting my teeth. I dare him to repeat his words.

"Oh! Correction! You ate like a pig!" he said while smiling widely and this was most fakest smile I've ever seen. Does he some problems with me or he is usually like this! Rude and mean! And I have to control my anger from not letting out but I'm not sure about it. Because Aiden kept giggling obviously trying not to laugh on me.

Then I realized........

I'm being bullied! By this expression less, poker face little meow meow. Yes he looks like a cat. A rich cat. Did you see Stuart little movie. He exactly looks like "SNOW BELL".

"Oh come on don't bully her. I really like her a lot now. She's not like every other girl who hesistates to eat and most importantly she's being honest! And Derek immediately will stab you with this fork if you bully her." Mrs. Parker took a fork and gestured it that she would stab him.

I got a saviour.

"OK now let's take a picture of you both. I need to show it to my friends." OK now I take my words back. We both looked at each other and he quirked his eye brows asking me what to do?

"Now come on sweet hearts, come closer and make a romantic pose." I looked at her in horror as she gestured us to get closer with her phone in her hand.

"I'm out of this shit!" Derek said while going towards his bedroom.

"Now, now don't be shy. Amara wrap your arms around his neck and look into his eyes." Mrs. Parker said while angling her phone to take a photo of us. OK it's just a photo! Let's get it!

I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck bringing my face closer to his and I took special care so that our upper bodies doesn't touch. You know there's something important thing there! I felt his body tensed as I snaked my arms around his neck. I can sense that his breath became irregular and I can see a faint blush spread across his cheeks which made me look at him in astonishment.

Is he blushing? The flirty cocky muscular boy is blushing. That's a new one. Did I affect him? He hesitated to look into my eyes at first but once he did, I couldn't control myself to smirk and his cheeks became more flushed which made me laugh. I laughed throwing my head back still with my arms around him. He looked cute. And that's when I heard a happy squeal.

"Perfect!" Mrs. Parker exclaimed excitedly while looking at the picture that she took a while ago. "Come, see. It came good. It's so perfect! Aww you both look so lovely." her words made me curious, is it that good?

I went over to her and she gave her phone to me. Damn it was good, I'm surprised too. I looked happy laughing while throwing my head back, my arms around his neck and what made me surprised is his stare at me. Aiden just kept staring at me with a look in his eyes which I couldn't decipher and I could find a genuine smile on his lips while he was looking at me laughing in that picture. And the blush is visible too lol.

I took a quick glance over him to which he looked away. Now he's shy. I heard he used to be shy around girls when he's in highschool. I told you I made a research on the three cousins. Looks like he haven't changed much. Good. I got a thing to tease him.

"He's still shy!" I mumbled under my breath while watching him going towards his bedroom. "Yeah, he is. But only when the girl makes the first move." I heard Mrs. Parker's voice which made me look at her in surprise. Strange!

"Now I will show this beautiful master piece to my friends. They would fangirl just like me." she said while squealing like a teenager. I giggled looking at her acting like a kid.

                      .Next Morning.

I sighed looking at the unfamiliar building in which I need to work from now on. No, I didn't change my job or anything like that. It's just that me and some other staff including Ashton got transferred to the head office. Actually the managing director and the secretary of the managing director went abroad for a while to take care of business in other countries there been a recession and some of the head office staff were transferred to that country's office. That's how we ended up here.

We only know both the managing director and his secretary sir names as they don't want to reveal their identities except for the head office staff. Strange and weird right!. And there's a alternative director joining us today in their absence to lead the company. They said after the original director and his secretary comes back the new director will be the CEO of the Company.

Many people think that CEO is the top position in a company but no. First comes the managing director, manager and then the CEO.

I entered the building and reached the floor as said by the receptionist. Someone drapped their arm around my shoulder and I knew instantly who it was!

Why are you late, the new director is about to come in few minutes!" he said while walking in to the conference room.

"Oh come on Ash, atleast I came before the new boss comes." I replied dryly.

"There you see, he's replacing the head of the secretary. And to my bad luck he's my new roommate!" Ashton said while whining a little as we sat in the seats. I took a brief look at the man who looked like he is in his early thirties with a round rimmed glasses which he just pushed back a little from the bridge of his nose with his index finger.

He looked professional with a tie, formal shirt neatly tucked and his shoes were shining bright as if they were new. His hair is professionally dressed and he looked kinda nerdy and slow just like me when I was in highschool. Oops I forgot to mention I have Spects too. But I don't use it often just during office hours.

"So we're assistants of him?" I asked Ashton while looking at him.

"Nah! It's just you, you're assigned to him. And I'm assigned to the beautiful lady over there." He gestured towards a gorgeous lady in her late twenties who sat diagonally to us. Wow! Great.

"what's your new roommate's name?" I asked completely ignoring his sexy stares at the lady. "It's Nate, Nate Goodman!" Ashton said while leaning to my ear. Ohhh Nate Goodman?

"Attention every body! Let's welcome our alternative director! Mr. AIDEN PARKER!"

Nate introduced and my eyes widened like saucers as I saw a familiar figure coming into my sight!. God you must be kidding me! It's sounds so unreal!

All of them stood abruptly while bowing to him except me. Even Ashton did! but the shock is evident on his face. But I'm too shocked to even move a muscle. I just looked like a paralyzed person sitting on the chair with my mouth wide open.

"Looks like someone is not happy by my arrival!" he said with a smirk dancing on the corner of his lips looking straight into my eyes and I felt many stares on me after the words left his lips. All the staff keep looking at me weirdly. Just then Ashton nudged me and stepped on my foot to bring me back from the trance.

I stood abruptly while bowing to him and apologized for my behavior. Mr. Goodman too apologized on my behalf. I think he knew already that he's my superior. So now Nate is Aiden's secretary and I'm Nate's assistant. That means I need to work for that idiot!?...............

And to my knowledge they said it's not temporary. So I need to work for that bunny till my contract ends. Why the hell!? 

And that's how the meeting went well and I didn't get to hear a single thing. What should I do? I'm too shocked!

"OK, Mr. Nate I need you in my office along with your assistant what's her name again, Miss Rivers"

My eyes flickered over the person who just said my name and I sighed to see the smirk is still didn't fade away from his lips. He is planning something! Maybe revenge for teasing him and making him blush yesterday! He kept walking with a smirk on his lips keeping his eyes on me.



I bit my lip and huffed in anger while following Mr. Nate who kept following Aiden.

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I'm not a virgin my life keeps fucking with me every now and then. Now I need to deal with him in the office too...................
