"Anything." He whispered in her ear sending a horrified shiver down her spine.
Standing behind her petite figure he didn't even touch her but his breath was enough to scare her as it was hitting her ear continuously.
Never in million years she thoug...

"After two days I am going to visit Stroke Enterprises to finalizing the contract. You have two days to think and to make your decision. If you say no then it's a no. We will never meet again and you will never have my forgiveness. But if you say yes then be ready because you should know what you're getting yourself into. It's all on you."
Again his words echoed in her head as she stared at the raindrops rapidly falling on the window of the bus. She couldn't help but envy these freely dropping pearls.
They were at least free from every regret. Burden and sin. She sighed heavily leaning against the seat. Her face was paler than before. She looked almost lifeless at how much sleepless night she had last night.
All night she stayed awake thinking about his words. He did nothing after saying those words except grabbing her arm and forcing her to get out of his office.
She could hardly walk back to her apartment. All she could do is to cry remembering how much hate and disgust was stuffed in his eyes for her.
The same eyes she never got tired of looking into now she couldn't get herself to look in them without feeling guilt and regret ripping her soul.
She came out of her thoughts when her stop came up. She held the umbrella opening it and walking inside the company.
Before she could walk towards her office her boss stopped her. He grabbed the umbrella from her and smiled at her.
"Mr Stroke is here. He just arrived last night and he wants to meet you." She nodded her head and straightening her posture she walked towards his office.
Knocking at the door she heard a deep voice asking her to enter. Which she did. As soon as she entered the office he turned around and a small smile appeared on his lips.
Rose stared at the young man in surprise. She never expects him to be this young. She always thought that her boss must be older enough to be her father but he looked in his late 20s or early 30s.
"Hello, Rosaline. I am Daniel Stroke we finally met. I heard about you a lot. And also I would like to thank you because of your hard work our this branch was able to make a lot of profit. More than I expected."
He said with a small smile. His eyes stared at her more than it was needed. She nodded with an emotionless face. Even though she tried softening her expressions but she couldn't get herself to smile at him.
She doesn't even know how long it has been when she smiled genuinely at anyone. And now she doesn't even know how to smile anymore.
Daniel frowned slightly watching her giving no attention to him. So he decided to speak again.
"I wanted to come to meet you on the day of the meeting but I was busy with my personal matters." Rose had no idea why he was explaining so much. But she again nodded.
