Lucid Dream

7- No more Mercy

Yesterday While he was running fever and was squirming in pain and continuously murmuring someone to hide. I tried waking him up but to no avail. He grabbed my hand and then later calmed down. His grasp was so tight that I had to lay my head beside him and sleep

" What did you see in your nightmare?" He was glaring at me without making any sound.

" I should leave," He said, pushing aside the bowl and trying to get up.

"I thought you asked me to ask ?" I snap back now, getting really angry. Did I tried asking who tried to murder him or about the person in lift? No. All I wanted to know was who he wanted to hide in his dreams.

" I didn't have any nightmare" he gulped the medicine clearly lying.

" Okay ,whatever " I rolled my eyes so hard that I could go blind from the lack of Iris.

He left for his apartment and I left for my work. Today is a very important Day for me as Our Firm will incorporate with the largest multinational company ASR Corporation making us their legal advisor. The building I work for is the main building for ASR ltd but today we will shift to their main building which happens to be a 15 minutes car ride from my home. We have a formal meeting at 9:30 with their CEO Adrien Davis.

Yesterday I thought to look up at this old dude and do some research but my my! It was a thriller day yesterday. I hope today goes fine. While approaching the building I saw it for the first time. The 15 minute car ride brought me to a whole new world. All the skyscrapers, coffee shops, people moving around the traffic. My office, It's probably a 60+ floor office which is covered in mirror glass. If I throw a rock at it I will crumble the whole corporation under my feet. I laughed on my own logic and parked inside the building. I told the guard about my information as I still didn't have my ID.

Our office happens to be from 50 to 55th floor and there is a floor for each legal department. Digital security law, Tort, Contract, Private International Law and US Criminal law. I mean this corporation is huge in the business world and there is no one who hasn't heard of ASR. I go to the 67th floor where the CEO's office is and there are only 3 rooms in the whole floor. One is the conference room, the assistant room and His room. I of course wait for everyone in the conference room and guess who is the 1st one to arrive. ME. The view from the meeting room is breathtaking. All the skyscrapers. I love big cities!

I was working on my laptop on my research paper when someone came and I was surprised by it. A very handsome guy of 6ft tall in a suit peeked inside the room. He has jet black hair nicely brushed back and a toned face. He is handsome as someone straight out of a TV. What's with my luck meeting with so many beauties? I am sure I saw him somewhere. From Drama? Movies? Is he a celebrity? My memory is shit .

"Who are you?" He asked in a suspicious tone like an intruder came here and thought to finish her research paper.

" I am Anthea Flores. I have a meeting with Mr. Davis in half an hour" I politely and professionally answered back.

" You are super early." He narrowed his eyes and replied in a surprising tone.

"That's better than being late." I say back looking at his blue eyes.

"Should I order something for you? It will take a while till the meeting starts." He questions looking at his watch.

"A cup of coffee will do" I smile from his generosity. He then left and went inside the assistant room. Oh so he was the assistant of Mr. Davis. An old man came and delivered me a cup of coffee and I continued to do my work.

Slowly slowly everyone from my previous office joined me and It's 9:30 AM. We started talking about how busy our life will be and how well paid off we will be too. I will leave my apartment and come somewhere near if the pay is good I thought.

Then the assistant came and everyone stood up except me. I basically had no idea why everyone stood up and was surprised as hell and when my former boss Mr. Costa shook hands with the assistant and said "Mr. Davis. I am so honored to meet you."

My Jaw dropped. I was looking like the meme Pikachu got your face and then he turned to look at me and raised an eyebrow and said don't bother standing up. Everyone please sit.

"Why were you sitting?" Samantha, my co-worker, poked me with her finger.

"I didn't knew It's him" I genuinely was flabbergasted.

"How did you not know him? Adrian" She whispers in a questioning tone.

"I mean I thought I knew him but....." I murmur when someone clears their throat and both me and Samantha look at him. Yes It's the CEO. He gave a glance at me and sat in the head chair.

"Hello everyone , as I am sure everyone already knows who I am, let's skip the introduction phase" Pauses and smirks in my direction .

" You are well aware of your firm incorporating with my company. From now on I will be your new leader." Wow, nice way to say he is the boss.

"Well I already have 4 departments dealing with civil laws and I need this department to handle all the criminal cases filed against us or when we need to sue someone. It would be best if the settlement is done outside the court as I prefer less media drama. If it goes to the media the publication department will handle that and I need all of you to make sure our corporation does not breach any law while doing any of their projects." He spoke with a hint of Spanish accent.

Most of the people were taking notes. of what? I hated people who took notes to show off that they are working and listening. I rolled my eyes and shook my head in disbelief. I was zoned out by the fact that he already hates me for not knowing who he was. Like I would hate my employee if he doesn't know who I am while working for me. I came out of my zone when I heard someone clearing their throat. I looked at the direction of sound and Adrien was looking at me along with my boss.

"Anthea right?" He forwarded his hand for the hand shake.

I pressed his hand lightly and replies "yes, Just call me Thea"

He raised an eyebrow after hearing the name and smirked "welcome to the new project."

"New project" I confusingly question him? Nice of me to judge my co-worker for taking notes while getting distracted and missing a whole bunch of things. Karma.

"Did you not listen that I chose 4 people from your team to overlook my new project?" He asks and there is annoyance in his tone.

"mmm yes Thank you sir, and sorry . mm I was confused" Nice if our previous encounter wasn't enough now I will get sacked.

" I will express my assistance by emailing all the details about the project to all four of you and I hope at the weekend one of you can report to me back." He smiled and left the conference room.

Who four ? I look around and see Andrew, Amita and Jonas all top notch professionals talking together. Hell No! They are pro In their field. What am I even doing with them?

Samantha came and dragged me towards the corner and asked "Do you know him?"

"Ahhh no I guess I said you that" I replied feeling the frustration going on me.

"Then for such a big project he chose you along with 3 top notch lawyers of Canada" She glared. How the hell do I know why I was dragged into this mess while I was supposed to do research and talk to clients.

" What big project. I have no Idea why he chose me bruh" I Scowl now in full mode angry.

" Are you sure?" She says again. This Woman. My goodness.

"of knowing him? Of course. Why will I hide If I know him" I mean will I hide the fact that you know Shawn Mendes or Justin Bieber on a personal level. duuh

"true. Congratulations. You will work with them" She sarcastically states.

"can feel life going to be a burning hell" I whimper in mental pain.
