Solace (Complete)

12. Help

After about 10 minutes of looking around, I found it. I am late again and I know he will again taunt me on that. I went out of my office to his with the file in my hands.
I knocked on his door.

"Enter" he commanded.

"Here is the file you asked for" I said placing the file on his desk in front of him.

"You are late again" he said taunting at me.

I didn't say anything to that. Sometimes when you want to ignore someone just be quiet, and that's what I am doing. I looked here and there in his office. I know he is frustrated with me. But I don't care as long as I have my job. It doesn't look like he will fire me anytime soon. So I am good for now.

"Go to a restaurant by the end of this street and grab my lunch from there, they will have my lunch ready by now. And don't be late this time" he ordered and then continue doing his work on his laptop.

Now I am a delivery guy. I huffed.

"Fine" I said and turned around to go out when his voice stopped me in my tracks.

"Here take this card" he said handing me his card.

I went out of his office towards lift, and pressed the button to the ground floor. It took me 5 min to go to the restaurant, as he said his lunch was ready. So I paid and went out toward his office with his lunch.

"Here" I said placing his lunch and his card on his desk. I turned around to go back to my office when he called me. I groaned.

"Yes" I said trying to smile but failing miserably.

"Have lunch with me, I know you haven't had your lunch" he said.

I looked at him confused. He has more mood swings than a girl on her periods. Is this the same guy who was telling on me for being late and now offering me to have lunch with him.

"No I am not hungry" I declined his offer.

"Sit and eat" he said in his intimidating voice.

I didn't want to comply but I thought better of it and sat in front of him. Then we started our lunch. After sometime, he was finished with his lunch but I was still eating, more like picking on my food. I barely touched it. He was looking at me as if saying finish it.

"I am done" I said and went out of his office not waiting for him to speak.

One week has passed of me working with Ryan. It's so hard working for me, he orders me around all day. Sometimes I take it willingly and sometimes with forced smiles. But its getting hectic day by day. And the other problem is my weed, the last one is also finished. Now I am getting desperate, I asked charlie to meet me. I haven't told him that I don't have money with me. I know he won't come if I tell him.

Now I am going to the place he told me to come, it's some alley behind some club. I parked my car on the side of the road and walk towards the alley. There was two guys standing, one was charlie but other one I don't know him, he has his back towards me.

When charlie looked up he saw me and then told other guy something and then that guy turned around in my direction and started walking towards me more like out of the alley. When he passed me he stared at me for a long moment. He gave the major bad boy vibes, in his black shirt, black Jean's and black leather jacket. He had a lot of tattoos on his arms and neck. He has lip piercing, he is good looking in a different way. By the way he is looking at me I can tell he is checking me out too but I ignored him and went to charlie.

"Hey pretty girl. How ya doing?" He said.

"Where's my parcel?" I asked him not getting into useless banters.

"Where's money?" He asked.

"I will give you back later" I said.

"No first money then I will give you that" he said.

Jerk. Stupid. Idiot.

I want to smash his head hard but I controlled my anger for my own benefit.

"Look it's not like I am poor or something. Its just these days I have a little problem with money. But I have started a job and by the end of this month, I will have the money" I said looking at him expectantly.

"Sorry calista as much as I want to I can't. My boss will know and he will be angry. Please understand" he said sadly.

"You know what, fuck off" I said angrily and turned around to go to my car. When I went near my car, that guy who was earlier with charlie stood leaning on my car.

"Excuse me, this is my car" I said angrily.

"I never said it's mine" he retorted with a smirk.

I am already frustrated and he is just adding to it.

"Get off" I said and moved to sit in my car when he said.

"Oooh You are feisty, I like that" he said.

I was about to tell him off when he continued.

"I thought you would need my help" he said.

"Why would you think that? I don't need your help so buzz off" I told him.

"I thought you would need that" he said and held out a box waving in front of me.

I looked at the box for a moment, weed. But I can't take it from him. He won't give me that without wanting anything in return and I don't have anything to give him right now.

"I know you don't have money so just keep it. I heard you talking to charlie" he said.

"No I can't.." I couldn't speak anymore. I really want it so badly.

"Why are you doing this? You won't give me this for free" I said.

"No actually I was giving you this for free but as it looks like you won't want it for free so you can pay me back later" he said winking at me.

I don't know if I should take it from him or not. But I really need that thing. I eyed the box one more time.

"Okay I will take it but I will pay you back by the end of this month" I told him, taking the box from his hand.

"Can I have your number, uh soo we can contact you know when you will have money to pay back " he said scratching his neck.

I know he wanted my number only. I smiled at his antics and gave my number.

"Your name?" I asked.

"I was starting to think you wouldn't ask. It's kol" he said offering me his hand for hand shake.

"Calista" I said shaking his hand back.

"What a beautiful name for beautiful lady" he flirts.

"I have to go. Bye" I said and hopped in my car and went to my house.
