She walked in a daze not to far from the restrooms before walking into something hard. Was it a wall?? But why would the wall wear a designer suit? She looked up and finally saw that it wasn't a wall, it was a demigod!! Was this real? A real life God is standing right in front of me!! She thought as she stared at the almost six and a half foot tall man standing in front of her.
He had light porcelain skin, the physique of an athlete, no even better!! He had blackish gray hair that was combed back but strands fell on his face adding to his already dream like look. His lips, sexy and alluring that could any lady man go crazy. To her, he looked like a dream turned to reality. The one thing that caught her attention the most were his grey eyes.
she could see different emotions swirled up in them but she couldn't tell what they were.
"You're in the way", his cold voice broke her out of her daze and finally regained herself and realized she had been gawking at him.
"I'm so....", but before she could even finish apologizing, he walked pass her as if she wasn't there.
Arrogant!!, those were her thoughts as her eyes followed his silhouette before he disappeared down the hallway.
she quickly left there to her work space. She sat at her desk doing some paper work before she heard commotion then an employee ran into the large office.
"It's been done, the deal's been done!!", he shouted excitedly and soon the rest of the employees joined him in celebration.
"How did it pull through??", a female employee asked him.
"It was the director's son, Duke, he gave presentation to some big shots and they've agreed to work with us ", he said
"Really? that's good news"
"yeah, there might be an increase in our department's salary per head"
" This is all thanks to Duke "
"I'm glad you think so", the room suddenly fell silent as Duke Jones, the director of the finance department's so walked in.
"OMG, Duke your so amazing "
" Thanks aloy Duke"
"You're the best"
" .... "
Duke received praise from all over he glowed with pride.
" That's a lie!! ", everyone turned to the direction of where the voice came from.
"Oh it's her"
"what does she mean?"
"Yeah! Duke bagged the deal for us, what's her problem "
They were all of course referring to layla who had rage written all over her face. All her hard work and they're giving some asshole that didn't work for it all the glory. How could she just watch that happen?
" Oh Layla, the belle of the company, what do you mean? Could it be that your jealous of what I've achieved?", the said gloatingly. He obviously knew the presentation was prepared by layla and his father told her she was going to give to the guests but he had no intention of doing so.
He decided to give it to his son so he could bag a deal and the board will see his son as someone competent enough and give him a higher status in the company. layla was considered a genius in her field so he decided to use it to his advantage.
"What exactly did you achieve?", she spat, " someone as incompetent as you are couldn't have prepared something so elaborate and you of course know that"
"How dare you!? ", he said, already fuming with anger, " just say you regret not accepting my proposal when I asked you to be mine now your you're lashing out. If you beg me now on your knees and lick my shoes, I might except you back"
The room then became noisy as employees laughed and mocked Layla,
"Ha! so pitiful of her "
"She's already regretting her mistakes "
" She's always thinks she's better than us in every way "
" Even if she begs and cries right now, he couldn't accept such an embarrassment "
" .... "
Layla's face turned red with anger and shame as her nails dug into her palm. Suddenly, she let out a laugh.
All the employees, including Duke all stared in shock. What was so funny?! they thought .
Could she be laughing at herself, that would be crazy.
"What's so funny?", Duke finally asked wanting to know if she'd gone mad.
"He he, it's just funny that you think I'd beg you for forgiveness. I'd rather confess my feelings to a trash can than to someone like you", she said which made Duke's face red with embarrassment
" cause trash are the only people you can associate with", a voice said. Layla turned to face them.
" Oh evelyn it's you" Layla said indifferently.
" Trash is all around you that's why your so familiar with it ", evelyn added once more.
"Yeah I know, trash like you. Your so full of shit even the toilet's jealous ", Layla said with a wicked smirk.
" How dare you, you're a bitch ", evelyn spat.
" Being a bitch is a tough job but someone's gotta do it ", layla retorted
"You...."
" I'd love to give you a nasty look but looks like you already have one. Dont you get tired of putting makeup on two faces everyday. You know what?, feed your own ego cause I'm busy", Layla said as she walked out of the large office leaving evelyn expressionless.
' I'll get that whore ', evelyn thought as she stood there with a dark face and all the employees began to murmur.
" All of you, get back to work", Duke said calmly, " she can't talk her way out of everything ", he whispered to himself.
