Raven and Stephan's eyes met, and this time the man's eyes were playful as if nothing had happened. Raven averted her eyes and landed on the guy who was sitting and looking at her intensely, Raven chose to lower her head while the three were talking.
"Why are you still here?" A magnetic voice woke Raven's sleeping spirit, and her face flushed.
Cohen stepped forward in front of Raven to block her and said, "I'm sorry Sir. You do know that everyone is mesmerized by your beauty."
Cohen pushed Raven, and she walked out the door without saying a word, the whole time she was inside she couldn't breathe. She was thinking over and over again.
"What is Stephan's deal? Stephan is his Secretary."
Raven paused and was in deep thought, and when she heard the door open she said, "Miss Cohen! I changed my mind. I won't work here anymore!"
With her eyes completely shut, Raven's knees began to shiver."What? Are you sure?" Stephan's voice was scarier enough that it made Raven pin herself to the wall with trembling eyes
Stephan stood up like a model as he placed both hands in both pockets of his pants, and a smirk formed on his lips. He asked her again, "Are you sure?"
Raven was torn and looked bravely at Stephan even though her body failed to do so. She said. "I don't know what kind of demon you are, but you are worse than a demon because of what you are doing."
Raven only told him in a whisper tone, and Stephan chuckled and turned his back at Raven saying, "It's none of your business. If I were you, I will do what I tell you because you know what was coming."
Stephan reached her ear, and Raven flinched, he said. "I have my eyes and ears around, be careful."
Their position was like a two couple kissing, Stephan's hand was placed on top of Raven's head as a support for his position, Raven's height was 5'5, and Stephan was 5'11. They stayed in that position, and Stephan's face turned reddish which made Raven confused.
"Sir Stephan? Mr. Borja wants you immediately." Cohen said while looking at them
Stephan didn't say any words and winked at Cohen, and she screamed softly as she looked at Raven and said, "What is the meaning of that?"
Raven looked at Cohen without any emotion, and Cohen clicked her tongue and said, "Based on your expression---you are not swayed. Congratulations, you are the first one!"
'Swayed? He was trying to kill me earlier!'
"Come on, follow me," Cohen said, and Raven released a breath of relief.
-----Cohen and Raven entered the room that seems to be the headquarters of the cleaners. It was much grander than Raven expected.
They had an office, a place for them to rest even had their lockers it was nothing like she expected.
Raven sat on the sofa and waited for Cohen to return but while she was waiting Raven remembered what Stephan said.
'I have my eyes and ears around, be careful.'
Raven was in deep thought before she realized Cohen was in front of her, and when Cohen sat in front of her, she said, "Here is your uniform, your I.D, and your employee pass inside Mr. Borja's room." Cohen smiled while she was handling everything in Raven's hand.
Raven was silently getting those things that Cohen was giving her and felt something heavy on her head and just looked at the stuff and placed them on her lap. She looked at Cohen.
Cohen is a 42 y.o woman with glasses on her eyes. She doesn't look old enough because her face and heart were young for her age. Raven was about to utter a word of gratitude when she felt a presence behind her ear.
"You don't look that happy for this job." An unfamiliar voice came out from the back of Raven's ear that made her flinch. Raven turned and saw a girl with short hair overly make-up face that suited her well and a janitress uniform that looked fit on her sexy body
"You should have taken the job at the office." She said with an attitude, and Raven looked at her.
Raven shrugged her shoulder and said, "I'm very much comfortable with this job."
The girl smirked and said, "Sure, comfortable to flirt enough. Stay away from Stephan!"
The girl walked away from where Raven was and slammed the door shut as soon as she got out, Cohen laughed, and Raven looked at Cohen with an unbelievable feeling.
"Don't mind Chin. She's nice, she just saw you and Stephan earlier, a die-hard fan."
Raven nodded and said, "Yeah, nice enough."
Cohen smiled and said, "See you tomorrow. This is your schedule." after she said that she reached for a laminated index card and gave it to Raven. "Nice meeting you, Raven."
Raven bowed, and with her hand full of things she walked out of the door and went straight to the lobby to leave. Raven felt this day was super long even though she was only inside for a few hours, it feels like an eternity. Raven was out of the building of the heavy rain suddenly increased.
"Really now?!" She shouted, and with a split second she was drenched with water, and all her things and clothes were wet.
Raven clicked her tongue and was about to go back to the building when she closed her eyes because she didn't want to go back there.
Raven felt that no rain hit her skin even though she hadn't passed any shelter, Raven looked up, and her eyes followed the arm that was holding the umbrella and was surprised.
"Mr. Borja, you're getting wet!" She said in a panic.
Raven quickly removed the umbrella that was on her head to transfer it to Mr. Borja, but the man smiled, and Raven felt like it was a shining sun on her face.
"Use it. You need it more than I do." With that said, the man placed the umbrella in her hand and ran in a different direction
As the man walked away, this imprinted on Raven's mind the kindness and everything they had done just now.
"This man is so nice that Stephan wanted to destroy him.." Raven thought to herself, but she was about to take another step when she realized...
There must be something about him that Stephan badly wanted to expose him...
The long night has come to an end, and after talking with one another, Raven fell asleep and didn't take notice until her alarm turned on.Raven got up at 8 am, and she paused in her tracks as she saw her mother in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Raven didn't know what to say, she was happy about it, but she was kind of hurt as well."Oh! You're awake, come and join me. I made breakfast." Wilma said on her apron and a spatula.Raven didn't bother stopping her steps to turn her face and greet her.Wilma with a worried look placed the sausages and fried eggs on the table, "I'll let you eat first, you have a job to attend to after all." she said as she removed the apron and placed it on the side of the refrigerator.Raven heard the door click and sat on the chair, she looked at the table with trembling hands and held the spoon and fork. Her eyes trembled and took the first bite that she missed after everything that had happened to her mother.Raven finished everything she needed to do and
Raven shook her head, held her things tight, and then thought about going inside the house, she wasn't carrying that much weight, but she had a hard time opening the main door of their house.With a throbbing heart, Raven couldn't stop thinking if she'll stay in the living room or go straight to her bedroom, looked confused Raven entered the door.Raven was stunned and stopped on her steps. She didn't know what her reaction would be as she saw... Wilma standing on her feet kissing a man who was new to Raven's eyes.The man didn't stop and kissed Wilma's neck, and Raven did nothing but look at the two of them. Wilma continued to push the man away while Raven was looking at them."Baby~ why didn't you say you were going home?" Wilma said looking at Raven and walking toward her.Raven clenched her hand and said looking at Wilma's feet, "You can walk? W-when did you learn to stand on your own?"Wilma was dumbfounded and said, "L-let me explain..."Raven's eyes darkened and glared at the m
Raven's Point of View..."What are you?" Cohen asked in disbelief.I clicked my tongue and released my grip on Chin's mouth, and was about to say something when the door suddenly opened."Mr. Borja! What can I help you with?" Cohen asked Terrance who entered the living room of the cleanerI just looked at the two of them, and Chin glared at me, so I shook my head. I was surprised when suddenly Terrance turned his head to me and said, "You can leave now and go home. I'll be leaving for a business trip today, so you don't have to clean anything."I couldn't believe what he said and said, "Y-yes Sir."Cohen looked at Terrance who was leaving now, and when he left. I smiled at them and said, "S-see you tomorrow?"I didn't let them talk anymore and then hurried to get out of the door and go to the locker to get my things. Clueless. If my full salary would be given this day, who cares. That was the order given to me.I arranged my things when I thought about going to the mall again to go an
Terrance cleared his throat and said, "If you don't want to pay for it, I will."Raven took a while to regain her consciousness, and for what Terrance said to sink in. She looked at him for a few seconds and couldn't believe it.'I was a mere employee, but he's willing to pay for a thousand bucks for someone he just met?!' Raven was dumbfoundedRaven looked at him in disbelief, "What?"Terrance took out a black credit card when Raven suddenly grabbed his hand and said to the man who had been standing next to them for a while. "I'll get it---here's my payment!" She said and handed over the paymentTerrance looked at the hand where Raven held, then at the girl in front of him, and then decided to look around."Hi, Mister! Can I get your number? You appeared to be my type!"Terrance didn't bother looking at the lady who was standing behind him and just looked at Raven who took her purchased laptop. Raven took a step forward but Terrance quickly approached Raven and held her hand.Terran
Raven was surprised. 'What is this? My heart was racing! W-whaaaaaat?!'Raven took a while to send a reply back to Stephan, then her phone lit up and there was a message sent, [I'm just joking, that's not included on the contract.][Are we settled then?] Raven replied to him.[Yes,] was the short answer he gave RavenRaven didn't give him a single message and turned off the data connection of her phone, and went to sleep. 'I thought I would be peaceful for tonight, but not.' She let out a sigh and dozed off to sleep.-----Three days ago, nothing much had passed. Raven and her mother still don't quite get along, during that three days, Raven did nothing but look at the money in the suitcase and is struck with boredom. Those three days Raven did nothing but be bored, and this time for three days Stephan didn't bother her.Raven came early for work because during her off she never once talked to Wilma and focused on making her wound making it heals faster, but until now it was still de
Raven decided not to go home and rest for a while inside their office, she was so tired even though she had not done anything. She leaned her back on the sofa while looking at the ceiling.Raven's right hand landed on her lips, and as her heartthrob, she sighed deeply. 'This can't be happening!' she said in the back of her mind.Raven stayed like that for a while because she didn't want to go home early and when she noticed that her hand was bleeding badly. She didn't know what to do. Instead, she prayed until she didn't realize she had fallen asleep.While Raven was sleeping, Terrance who was looking at the surveillance camera stood up from where he was sitting and went ahead to where Raven was. He slowly opened the door as he glared coldly at the woman who was sleeping helplessly on the sofa while looking at her. Terrance couldn't help but felt something that was going to bother him."What a pity." He whispered while looking at the girl's complexionRaven's beauty is rare. Her hai
