Melody POV

The night soon ended and morning came. It was another Monday morning which means work. After Giovanni dropped me at the front of the motel, he left without a word. When I got to my room, I sat on the ground in one corner of the room and burst into tears. I had no idea that Giovanni was suffering more than I was. I was quick to judge him. I didn't even know how he survived the gunshot and fire that night. I just cared about my pains.

Selfish.

I didn't know how but I had fallen asleep on the cold ground with a blanket around me. I knew it was Lorena. She might have seen me crying. I waited for her to ask me about the party but she didn't. Even when I was leaving for work, she just waved at me and wished me luck.

Weird.

On getting to the office, I found that Giovanni was already in the office. He was sitting behind his desk looking at some files. He was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice me entering his office.

" Sir," I called but he didn't reply. He was typing furiously on his laptop that he didn't pay attention to his surrounding.

He was in agony.

"Sir," I shouted this time around and I gained his attention. He looked at me with a frown on his face and raised his brows in frustration.

"What?" He simply asked.

I tried to read his expression but I could not. He was trying to hide how he feels by burying himself in work but it was not working instead it was draining him.

"Do you have anything to say or are you going to stand there and waste my precious time?" His voice jolted me out of my thought.

"I'm sorry sir." I bow my head in apology. "Will you like a cup of coffee sir?" I politely asked. I didn't know what to say at the moment but that was all I could come up with.

"Coffee? You barged into my office and disrupt my work all to ask me for Coffee!" He shouted, clearly angry. "Why are you so dumb Melody?" He questioned but it sounded more like an insult.

I could not understand why he was getting so angry at me. I only came to see if he was doing fine and he doesn't seem to get that. I thought we were over the strict since he stood by me at the birthday party but I was wrong. I thought he had changed overnight.

He has not instead he was the worst.

"I'm sorry sir." I apologized and turn to leave his office but then he called me back.

"Melody, Get me a black coffee with no sugar," he ordered and went back to typing.

I have never seen someone who changes personality so fast as Giovanni. How could he quickly change his mind after insulting me?

Weird.

I bow my head and left the office. When I got out, I mouthed a curse word at him before heading to where the coffee maker was.

"Hey, guys!" I greeted Anita and the rest of the CEO's department.

"Good morning," they all replied except for Lindsey.

"How is it going with the proposal?" Anita asked.

"It goes on well. Just planning on adding a few ideas." I answered back.

" really?" I heard Lindsey scoff. "Listen, Melody," she continued. "I don't know what you said to the CEO that granted you this position but I can assure you that it all going to be over if you don't present a good proposal."
