Alana's POV

It was the next day after that weird first day at my job. Nicholas texted that he'll pick me up around 12:30 so as I wait I'm making my lunch. I hear a knock at the door and I go open it. Oh hell no.

I try to shut the door but his foot blocks it.

"Rae leave me alone!"

I say.

"Baby please."

He opens the door wider, he pouts his lips in an attempt to make me feel sorry for him. How did I date him for a year!?

"You don't get to call me baby when you stuck your dick in another girl. Leave me alone already!"

We met at a bar and connected, my brother didn't like him but I didn't care. He asked me out on a date and that date turned into another and so on until he asked me to be his girlfriend. Everything was going well and then 9 months in he started acting weird. I ignored it blaming it on my overthinking but then I came home early one day and caught him balls deep in some girl. We broke up 5 months ago, I've healed but he's still bothering me.

"It was only twice and I completely regret it, please, I love you, you're my everyth-"

"I think she said to leave her alone."

I look behind Rae and see my boss. It's almost pathetic how small Rae looks compared to him.

"Who the fuck are you?"

Rae says trying to intimidate Nicholas. He doesn't flinch, he just smirks.

"Don't you have better things to do than bothering your ex?"

Rae walks over to him, what the fuck is he doing?Rae is 5'7, slim build and never been in the gym a day in his life. Nicholas is 6'4, large muscles, and I can tell that he's probably got abs under that shirt.

"Do you wanna repeat that?"

Rae says to Nicholas. Ok, ew?

"Don't you think you hav-"

Rae throws a punch but Nicholas holds his fist in place, looking pissed off.

"If you don't leave, I'll give you a fight that will make sure you never step foot here again. We clear?"

His voice is calm yet that's what gives the threat so much power. Rae clears his throat, trying to hold onto the ounce of masculinity he has left. Nicholas lets go of him and Rae turns to look at me before walking away.

"Thank you."

I say.

"I wanted to show you your office and give you a list of things I need done during next week."

He replies, not paying attention to me as he opens the car door. He drives a beautiful black Porsche.

"Shouldn't I change?"

I'm wearing my favourite flares and a black fitted top.

"You look fine."

Oh, so you want me Mr Diaz? I get into his car and he does as well.

At Work

When we enter, I see some of the employees eyeing me down with weird faces, maybe it's because I'm in causal clothes whilst they're in business attire. He's a quiet person, the whole car ride he didn't speak or look at me. Same behaviour in the elevator. We finally reach the top floor, he walks to the office next to his.

"It's your own room, you shouldn't get lost here."

I walk in, it has a computer on the desk, a stack of paper and flowers with a basket full of gifts.

"Who are the flowers from?"

"Me. Complimentary present."

"Thank you."

I smile and go over to see what's inside. It has a Tiffany and Co bracelet, a Cartier bracelet, a YSL purse, a Juglar Cuvèe and Versace box. I open the box and see Versace heels. What the fuck?!

"I...this is too much I can't ta-"

"You can take all of it. You got our deal back."

Is it just me or was that a sexual reference?

"It's paid out of my money so it's fine."

"But why did you get me all of these expensive things?"

"Just cause. I left the tasks I need done by next week, I'll add to it more next week."

I take the list and as I read, the list just gets longer. This is like 50 tasks. Before I can say anything he's already disappeared, great.
