Chapter 3 Talking about my new boss

Shayan's POV

I returned to his office by ten minutes to three to announce that everything was set in place for the meeting. We went to the hall and he stood on the podium to give his announcement while I was in the midst of the crowd.

Several girls were hooting, describing how hot he looked. He had a bold masculine face, deep brown eyes, his lashes and brows were full and his nose straight. His lips were small and pink and his hair was brown. His skin was creamy and smooth, his muscles defined and his body was amazing. His height range was probably about 6ft4. He was dressed in a black Armani suit, crispy white shirt and navy blue tie. He looked professional in his outfit. His expression was cold and he seemed to be oozing a lot of power and confidence.

"Everybody quiet!" he shouted, earning immediate silence.

He started giving his talk and I wasn't interested in it. My mind kept on wandering to other places. How would I cope with him? Would I have to resign or will he fire me? If any of that should happen how would I live?

"Miss West." I heard him call out my name. Almost everyone turned to look at me and so I looked back.

"Yes sir," I answered, what was he going to do or say now?

"It seems like your attention isn't in this meeting. Do you think I'm saying something unreasonable that doesn't demand attention?" he asked angrily.

Anything you have to say doesn't deserve my attention but I couldn't say that to his face. "No sir."

"Good, so what have I been saying?" he asked and I could feel a smirk threatening to escape his lips, he was doing it on purpose to humiliate me.

"Umm...you started by introducing yourself and then went ahead to state your expectations on the project, saying you'd want nothing but hard work," I replied slowly.

"I want your full attention on what I'm saying, all of you," he ordered harshly causing me to pay attention this time for a long boring thirty minutes.

When closing hours reached I went to inform him that I'd be leaving in case he needed me to do anything.

"You may leave but you must be here early tomorrow, I don't want to be here before you," he ordered, but it seemed more like a warning to me.

"Okay sir, I'd be early tomorrow." I better be, I don't want to find out what'd happen if he's here before me.

I decided to just bid him goodbye for formalities sake. "Goodbye, sir."

"Close the door, Miss West," he ordered, completely ignoring what I just said and I scoffed. Why did I even bother in the first place?

I closed his precious door, took up my things from my office and left for home.

I had to stop by Rosie's, she was my friend and we spent time together after work.

"Hi, how was work today?" she asked when she opened the door.

"Not good at all, I have a lot to tell you."

"I'd be more than interested to listen." she excitedly said, she was always interested in stories and gossip.

Rosie is twenty-five, she has long brown hair and eyes, she is about 5ft6 and has an amazing body and personality. She's also really pretty.

We sat down in the sitting room, her apartment was like mine. A one-bedroom apartment, with a modest kitchen and a rather small washroom.

"So what were you going to say?" she asked eagerly like a puppy expecting its treat.

"You know I told you about the new boss..." I started and she nodded. "Well, it so happens that it's Kel Adrios."

"Kel Adrios like the handsome, sexy business tycoon?" she asked excitedly. "I'd be so happy if I get to work for him."

"Believe me he's a pain in the neck and annoyingly arrogant man. He's just so cold and he never speaks calmly." I said frustrated.

"Don't worry, you'd change him," she said smirking and I scoffed. Change him my foot.

"So, how do you feel working for him?" she asked

"Anger, hatred and pain. I hate him so much, Rosie." I answered angrily.

"Don't worry things will work out." she encouraged.

Yeah, with me losing my job and struggling to find another.

"I have a lot I want to say to him but I can't and the fact that he's my boss isn't helping. I seriously don't know how I'd cope with him." I sighed heavily in frustration.

"Everything will be alright okay," she reassured

"Yeah, yeah. Enough of that already, how's you and Sean?" I asked and Rosie was already smiling like a crazy woman.

"We're good, we're going out on a date tonight," she replied smiling.

"Oooh, maybe he's going to pop the question. It's been two years already." I said smiling. I know she loves Sean and wants more than anything to marry him.

"I hope so, I can't wait to get married. What about you?" she asked causing me to laugh.

Marriage? Me? Now that's funny.

Marriage isn't something I've thought of because I'm not interested in it. I doubt I'd be able to love someone again. My first relationship was a very good teacher, giving me a lesson I'd never forget. Marriage? A full-time commitment? No, I'll pass.

"You are bound to get married someday. What do you think of Kel? Would he make a good husband? " she teased.

I'd have choked if I was eating or spat out my drink if I happened to be drinking something.

I just laughed further. Kel Adrios a good husband my foot. He'd just cheat around, I know he's not even capable of love. Can someone like him even get married? It'd probably be to strengthen business ties. I'd like to see the wife though, that girl would have to be strong or be like him too and I definitely don't want to be her.
