It was rumoured that he was a ruthless devil who would fire you even if you blinked excessively.
Lucas received a call on his mobile and he rushed out presumably to greet the new CEO for which he had prepared a short welcome speech. Everyone was made to practice in advance by Lucas to stand in a line and give a small bow when Lucas introduces them. Amelia stood at the end of the queue with Stacey besides her.
All had their eyes glued to the entrance to see the new CEO, with Amelia seeing the back of Lucas ushering someone in. Her eyes widened in shock when she saw that the big boss was none other than the man she met yesterday, Mr. Tony Lopez.
Perfectly gelled dark hair, high cheekbones, sharp jawline wearing an Armani, the big boss entered making Amelia feel really tiny in front of him. He had worn dark glasses but Amelia could feel that his gaze on her. Lucas was introducing his staff one by one and when it came to Amelia, she saw Tony's lips curl upwards slightly during her introduction. He took of his glasses with his gaze fixated at her and his aura including his fixated gaze his curled lips, his husky voice and his gigantic physique all seemed intimidating to Amelia. She could see her overconfident arrogant boss Lucas trembling all the time in front of him: just like the officers yesterday at the police station.
"I want the final layout of the designs on my table now" his gaze hadn't shifted from her.
"Miss A..Amelia has it, s...sir. She was asked to c...complete the detailing yesterday. I...It should have b...een ready by now." Lucas quivering voice made Amelia feel sorry for him today. Though she disliked Lucas she never wished bad for him.
"I want Amelia in my office right now. Only and only her." Tony then shifted his gaze towards Lucas but Amelia had the feeling that he was still watching her from his peripheral vision.
Amelia nodded and took a step back to leave as it may look impertinent to cross the CEO's front path, when Stacey put her foot on her way which may Amelia loose her balance. She was about to hit the ground when a pair of two strong hands held her slender waist preventing her from tripping. Amelia looked up to meet the cold brown eyes of the new CEO who had held her waist and his thumb was touching the lower part of her breasts.
She quickly got to her feet but his hands didn't leave her waist nor the thumb moved from its position even when she stood completely upright. "Sorry Sir"
He bent down to wisper in her ears, "I am used to women falling for me" giving his characteristic smile again.
Amelia retreated back to clear the misunderstanding as his words left her deeply embarrassed.
"Pardon her Sir, she is very clumsy. I will explain the designs to you myself. Let her go." Lucas had finally gathered the confidence to speak without stuttering.
"I want her fired" said the CEO without leaving his gaze from Amelia, on the contrary his hold on her waist tightened even more. Amelia was shocked beyond words; she blinked a couple of times; It wasn't her fault but the stories of the ruthless CEO that he would punish people for even the slightly incompliant attitude seemed true now.
"I will fire Amelia right away Sir. I have never found her necessary in this office.." Tony raised his right hand to stop Lucas from speaking with his other hand still on her waist and gaze fixated at her.
" the girl on Amelia's left . whatever her name is, I want her out of this company"
Lucas then understood that the CEO wanted Stacey to be fired; it was now Stacey's turn to get panicked.
"b...but s...sir..."
"OUT OF MY OFFICE". He snapped his fingers and his bodyguards entered, held her arms and dragged her away from his vision.
"I want Amelia right now." Tony turned around and left the place.
Though Amelia never like Stacey, the way his men dragged her out of the room seemed less dignified for a woman and it hurt Amelia to see a fellow woman mistreated like this.
'How did he even see Stacey intentionally put her foot forward when the back of his head was facing us as he had turned towards Lucas?'
The more she thought of him, the scarier it appeared.
'I better hurry up with my work before I get fired too'
She quickly entered his cabin after knocking with the bundle of files in her hand to find him sitting on the table in front of the chair. He had removed his coat and his blue shirt tightly hugging his body marking his toned abs were visible. When he saw Amelia looking at his biceps, he flexed it slightly making it look bulkier.
"checking me out". Amelia's blushed in embarrassment.
"I brought the files you asked, Sir" Amelia averted any further discussion on the topic by handing him the files. The same hideous smile was plastered on his face.
"She stood at a metre's distance from him."
"Come close to me". His gaze was fixed at her. She raised her eyebrow hearing the words.
"Come close to explain your designs." Amelia understood the hybrid meanings his words carried.
Amelia took the file and started explaining her observations to him after getting closer. She was standing while he was sitting on the table and so his head was levelled to hers. Whenever she glanced, she saw his stare glued to her, he didn't once glance at the papers she was holding. His disinterest in the subject was apparent.
"I think the designs n..needs changing, Sir" Amelia concluded while blinking a couple a couple of times.
Tony sensed her uneasiness; he stood up to his full height, she was shorter than his shoulder; he likes seeing her petite form from above. But he stepped forwards to create some space between them. Though his back was facing her he could understand that Amelia let out a small sigh.
"Why do you want the changes". He turned around to meet her eyes.
"Its 2 feet wide and 5 feet long and the design repeats its length of 1.3 feet. So when it covers the length of the structure it is cut by 0.2 inches at the end."
"Nice observation Miss Amelia". His unyielding eyes didn't move away, his demeanour perturbed Amelia.
"You seem to be good in Mathematics. Seems you had a good tutor, I suppose"
Amelia chose not to respond to this aberrant comment, for the fear of loosing her job if he gets offended in any way. The lesser she spoke, the better for her.
"I want you to work on my main project 'Aurelia Square' right under me"
Amelia was a loss of words. She had heard from Lucas about Aurelia Square a couple of times only to understand that it was something big and involved a lot of money. Lucas was supposed to handle the project independently and 'working right under me' meant she would be assigned his position which did not go well with her. She had no much experience and didn't ever prioritize snatching others jobs. Tony studied her thinking over it; anyone in her place would have quickly nodded.
"we will work together after office hours. You will be paid extra for the overtime 100$ per day"
Her eyes widened when he mentioned the amount.
He came closer " only you and me" paused a little and then continued " on this project. I don't want others interfering it."
His gaze, his smile, the pause he took while he spoke all seemed to have disparate implications but Amelia found it difficult to refuse. Lucas aways made her overwork without paying any extra. If she refused the lucrative offer, he may even dismiss her from the job, At least with the additional money she could pay her bills before time and save a little too.
So she nodded to see a big smirk on his face this time.
*********"
Tony's pov
Tony is sitting naked on the couch in his bedroom with a high-profile hooker kneeling down on the floor between his legs doing her business using her mouth
'This bitch has been trying hard for the past half hour, but I am totally dissatisfied with her performance; I am not getting the adrenaline rush even since I shook hands with that girl. I must admits that her charms still work around me and I have only been thinking about her past couple of days. I even asked Alex to get me girls with brown hair and emerald eyes but they seem to be inept at pleasuring me.'
Tony closes his eyes leaning his head back and his arms outstrtched and starts brushing his thumb against his fingers recollecting the moment he held her waist.
'I had ordered the whole office to bully her but I couldn't bear anyone trying to physically hurt her. When I understood that colleague was trying to trip her, it boiled my blood because no one has the right to touch her. No one can inflict any injury on her because she is only mine to ruin.' His eyes are still closed and minded is clouded by her thoughts.
'Amelia blinks her eyes when nervous, an old habit she has retained, it makes her look cute although I hate when I see others blinking excessively. She got nervous when I held her waist, and when she thought I almost fired her' Tony chucked remembering her reaction.
'How can I fire her when I have planned everything for her, when I want her to stay close to me. She doesn't even know that I have no knowledge on designing. The only design I create is with blood on others bodies. When I learnt that she has completed her designing two years back I purchased the shares of this company as it stood at the paramount position in this field. I don't even remember corrible horrible or whatever its name is. I have now forced the board of Directors to make me the CEO so that I get close to her.
I set a trap and the little mouse has entered it. Inviting to be a part of a large project Aurelia square by giving her incentives can't be a better way to get closer to her and then sabotaging her dreams. I want history to repeat itself and bad luck to befall on her the same way it happened 10 years back to me.
Even I had accepted tutoring her for some extra money, to help my mother; I had agreed to give her extra maths tuitions and then she started the whole game of seduction. !0 years back I was a mere pawn in her game and now she will play my game by my rules. And when this whole game ends she will take the place of the hooker in front of me. I will end her dreams by making her my whore.'
Tony started fantasizing about Amelia giving him pleasure; he had held her waist today with his hands and didn't leave it and he reached the ecstasy to be done. Merely remembering the touch helped him to reach his peak. When he opened his eyes, he caught the hooker gulping down his fluids. Irritated that Amelia wasn't there in her place, he yelled, "GET OUT FROM MY SIGHT RIGHT NOW". His eyes had widened and he was pointing a gun at her head. On seeing the devil in his real avatar, the poor girl stood up and ran away without even attempting to grab her clothes.
