I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Thirty Eight

For a few seconds, I stood at my office door wondering if I was in the right building.

I had to blink a few times to register what I was seeing. Stacks and stacks of paperwork on my desk.

This was unbelievable and seriously unfair.

After closing the door, I went to my desk and took a deep breath to calm my rising anger.

I shouldn't be suprised because with a boss like Mordechai, this was bound to happen. He liked taking control and watching the people below him suffer. These files won't be completed until next month.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

I didn't even bother to say anything because I knew it was him. I sat around my desk and turned on the computer. I heard the door opened before closing after a few seconds.

I didn't even glance at him. He's probably thinking that this isn't enough paper work for me.

"Vanessa, finally you're back. I see you have alot of work cut out for you."

I could hear the mockery in his voice. I sat there staring at my computer screen hoping he would get my message that I didn't want to talk to him.

I glanced up at him and to my suprise he was very serious. His expression didn't scare or even move me. Whatever he says next won't have any effect on me because I was too pissed to even care.

"I don't like being ignored Vanessa, I thought I told you that countless times," he said next but I could care less.

I stood up and crossed my arms. I stared at him. He had his hands in his pocket as he studied my face. If it wouldn't land me in alot of trouble, I would slap the hell out of him.

I was human and this amount of work is way too much for me alone plus I have emails that I have to check and reply to.

"And why is that so? Oh, right, because you're the boss and everyone should put up with your cra-"

"-Don't raise your voice at me Vanes-

"-or else what? You'll bring in more paper work or minimize the due dates? At this point I wish I wasn't working here. I wish I never met you or your family. I only did this for the money to leave the city and look how I'm being treated," I shouted before taking a deep breath.

I could feel the anger radiating off me in waves. I honestly wanted to give him piece of my mind right now.

I waited for his next words but nothing came. His eyes searched mine for a few seconds before he started coming closer and closer...

Before I could react, his body was fully on mine and I had to step back from pure instinct.

"I hate how much you challenge me Vanessa," was his next words as he followed my every move.

Soon enough my back hit the desk and he used his hands to trap me in the same spot.

Why was my heart racing so much?

Maybe it was because I thought I had a little feelings for him and right now he was too close for comfort.

This wasn't the time to think about those darn feelings.
