sometimes hearing things from years don't make us accustom to it or make it less painful.*

"These boxes should be on the top shelf. Should I repeat myself again? " the manager instructed Beam Irritatedly.

Beam just nodded at him and carried the boxes in his arms carefully. His arms were sore from carrying the heavy boxes again and again but his situation was not concerned to anyone. Of course, who was he even kidding. He was a just a mere cleaner and helper in this massive company .

From morning there was a big uproar in the company . The CEO from the main brunch decided to visit the company because this brunch was facing loses for sometimes. But the visit was so sudden that their brunch was not even prepared for this visit.

Beam just wanted a normal day but this chaotic situation in the company was making everyone restless. His arms and legs were killing him from all those works. He was not even complaining about anything but in reality he didn't have anyone with whom he could share his feelings.

With all the chaos happening around the CEO arrived at the company. With his arrival the higher ups became restless regarding the CEO's hospitality.

"Did you see him? ", "Is he even real? " , " I didn't expect him to be this younger. " , " I Can't even believe that I get to see him in person. " , "He looks like a supermodel. Is he by any chance an ex supermodel? " , " But he is really cold...... . ... . . . . ... . ... . ... . Beam was hearing all these gossips from the workers and employees of the company. He was not even curious about that CEO but the others were not like him. They were interested more in their big boss's private life. He sometimes didn't even get it, why people make fuss about topics which were not even slightly related with their own lives.

" Hey you, yeah you there, yes I'm calling you. " Beam was startled .

" Don't roam around with your Trashy clothes. Go to the basement and clean the steps their. "Beam bowed his head and started dragging his cleaning stuffs towards the basement.

"I never understand that old man why the hell he even hired ,a classless worker like him. Boss is going to be mad if he sees an eyesore like him in the company who don't even wear cleaning uniform. " The man who just ordered Beam muttered to himself. Beam heard that but decided to ignore this like he was always doing because he had no other choice.

It was alway like this with him , talking about his cheap clothes or how dirty he was . It should be normal about hearing these kind of stuffs for years but it hurted him and he couldn't even say anything in his defense.

He cleaned himself regularly . Maybe his clothes were cheap and worn out but his clothes were at least clean. He was never accustomed to people's rude behavior towards him . And his timid personality was not any help to him either. He always got scared of small things and that's why his childhood was full of pranks .

Beam dragged his cleaning Tools towards the parking lot after finishing his basement work. This part of parking lot is only for reserve for exclusive parking. That's why this part of parking lot was not frequently used but today was not like their Usual days.

Suddenly, the lift of the parking lot opened and some people came out from the lift walking towards the cars direction. Beam lowered his head hoping that no one would notice him. He was actually feeling intimidated by those people .

"Hey cleaner boy , come here and pick up these instantly. " Beam was startled for the second time in the day for someone calling him. He saw that a huge build man with a strict face calling him. "Oohhh God !!! I think, it's not my day " Beam thought in his mind .

When Beam got closer to that group of man his hands were already sweating . Beam saw that a Dustbin fall from its place and the bottles were broken. The glass bottles were shattered in front of a car. So, they could not move the car. Beam started to pick up the garbage and broken pieces of the glass bottles with his bare hands . Beam was not given cleaning gloves and it became difficult to pick up those glasses and his sweating hands were not helping him.

"can you do it faster? We don't have all the day. "A man eyed Beam with an annoyed face. Beam gulped and tried to fasten his work but accidentally cut his palm and fingers. Beam Winced in pain but he bit his lips from creating any sounds. Beam was dealing with his pain then instantly the lights of the parking lot Went out .

" Looks like this brunch need much more attention than we thought. "A Deep voice sighed . On the other hand Beam was sweating profusely and tried to hold on to something. "Ohh God ! Please not now " Beam was chanting in his mind. His fear of darkness seemed to get worse these days. His panic attack was not something he wanted to deal with now. Beam succeed in grab onto something but he still didn't open his eyes. People present there switched on their mobile flashes and someone even manage to grab a torch from a car.

"Sir, there was some problem with electricity connection in this part. Because they didn't use this part regularly. " A man told someone but Beam was too busy in his own world of darkness that he didn't know that he was holding on to the hem of the coat of that someone. Now , the entire group of people focus their eyes on Beam's action.

"what the hell on the earth are you doing? " Someone harshly grabbed on Beam's arm. Beam's train of thought seem to be broken and he opened his eyes only to saw that a pair of deep black cold eyes watching him intensely. Then Beam noticed that he was holding onto the clothes of the owner of that cold eyes . Beam suddenly felt conscious of their height difference.

The man who grabbed Beam's arm tighten his grip on Beam's arm and pushed him on the ground harshly breaking Beam's grip from that cold eyes man. The owner of the cold eyes didn't say anything to Beam and just entered the car. The man who opened and closed the door for that cold eyes man was the one who pushed Beam.

Then the cars went out from the dark parking lot one by one leaving a scared and teary Beam sat on the ground.
