All I knew...

Not on time

*ring* I heard the alarm bipping and that meant that I had to get up from my cozy, warm bed and get ready for another tiring day. I work in a good known company of lawyers and I'm currently switching from the violence section to crime and abuse.
I always dreamt about becoming a well known lawyer, and even if it's taking a while, step by step I'm near to achieve my dream.

I got up from my bed and went straight to the bathroom to wash myself; as a lawyer I don't have much of a choice when it comes to style and clothing, but I feel like dressing myself in a good way even having a limited choice can make a difference (well I think I look good haha).
I put a light make up on, no foundation, just a little bit of concealer to cover some spots and mascara, that's it.

I went downstairs and looked at the clock.... Fuck it 7:45 AM and I have to be there by 7:50. I decided that I wasn't going to have breakfast, well to say the truth I always skip breakfast cuz it makes me feel "lighter".... I jumped into the car and drove straight to my work place. God I just wish he doesn't get mad...again.

~8:00

I rushed into my office knowing that I was way too much late, praying that Mr. Wang  won't get mad. At this moment you'll be asking yourself, who's Mr. Wang ?

Well he is the CEO of this company; he's a really wanted man, big muscles, nice smile, always on point... and fuck those veins when he pull up his shirt; I let you imagine.
He's a kind person, but when it comes to work he become the most serious person in this world. If you work here you get used to him screaming at people early in the morning, that don't put effort in their work and he, a lot of times, fired people for that, and probably I'm the next one.
It's not my first year working here, I mean I'm here since 3 years now, but he just took his fathers place and since he became the CEO everything changed.

I took my seat and started working immediately, knowing that if he comes to know that I was late this time too, he'll get angry and probably even FIRE ME!!!

I opened some files of the mentally and physically abused woman that I'm working for, when Jennie, the 50 yo receptionist, came to my office "Hi Hazel, the CEO wants you right now on his office...oh and he said that he's really mad, literally furious!!". I looked at her with almost teary eyes and got up from my seat " ok thanks Jennie. Hope he won't fire me"

I walked to her and she took my hand " you should be more careful girl, you know that he doesn't tolerate this type of behavior" she said with all the truth in the world. "I know, I'm trying...but it's not working" I said looking down.
Then I went straight to Mr.Wang office...please god, help me!

I knocked and opened the door, when I felt my knees almost giving up. He was gloriously sitting in his desk looking furious "hi sir, you wanted me?" I asked with the most formal voice trying to look confident as possible. " Hazel, don't you think you are exaggerating a little bit too much? Huh, do you think this company is owned by your dad or something. You are ALWAYS late... are you taking this job seriously or you want me to fire you ?" He said getting up and standing in front of his desk.

In the meantime I was looking at my red heels and all I wanted to do was killing myself, or bury myself alive. "I'm really sorry sir. I don't have any excuse about that but my house is a little too far from here and with the traffic I'm always late. I'm really sorry, but please don-"
He slammed his hand against the desk and I took a step backward fearing he would do something dangerous.

"I'm tired of hearing this boring excuses of yours, it's not your first time... it's literally the 25th time that you do this and I'm sick and tired of this misbehaving. You should be more respectful toward me and others" ; he got up from the desk and came towards me.

"Hazel, you know me, i don't like this! You are such a good and kind person, you work good and always on time... on work. But why the fuck you behave like a 10 years old little girl, GROW UP HAZEL, if you wanna work seriously and keep your work place you should start acting like your age....or do you want me to punish you?"

He came near me and whisper the last few words on my ears. I felt weird and uncomfortable thinking a put my dark past.
I took a step backward hoping to get out of this situation as soon as possible " I'm sorry sir, I promise it won't happen again." He took another step forward "Hazel, are you scared? hearing those words I wanted to run away. My life have never been so glorious and shiny... especially my past.

Flashback
"Come here Hazel" he grabbed me from my hair and dragged me against the wall. " please leave me alone, I'm begging you " and a harsh slap hit me across the face.

"I'm your dad and I should obey me, UNDERSTAND, OBEY ME WHORE!" he kept on slapping and punching the shit out of me.

When he got satisfied he left me there, deadly in the floor like nothing happened.

End flashback

"Look at me" he touched my chin to make me look in his eyes "Do I scare you?" He said with a confident voice, trying to intimidate me.
I kindly removed his hand  "Never, never in my life I'll be scared of men. I respect you as my CEO and my superior, but never ask me again if I fear you, cuz I fear no one!" I said with all my pride.

Jackson went back to his desk and started typing something on him MacBook. Why this man is weird? First he screams at me, then he approach me and then ignore ME!
"Miss Hazel..." he called me but I was too focused into my thoughts that I didn't heard him. *cough* "Hazel!" He recalled me in a higher tone of voice "yeah, sorry. Need something ?"
"Since you said that you don't fear anything I want to test you by assigning you this man. You will work for him and his sentence will take some time so I'll take care of the lady you're currently on. And also, take this as a chance to prove me that you are a hard worker".

At first I was so confused and sad for leaving Michelle, the lady I work for. "Ok Sir I'm ready for it but I'd like you to talk to Michelle and if you need any help with her I'm here to give a hand." Well that's and interesting "test"

[...]

It's 7 PM and I'm still here working and analyzing the files Jackson send me for my new client, but there's no official information I just now his name, surname, age and phone number.
Min Yoongi 28! 344 *** ****. "What am I supposed to do right now gosh?!" I said to myself. "I can't ask Jackson for help, he's gonna be so mad aga-...OMG fuck yeah Hazel, you're so dummy" I spoke to myself again.
I literally have his phone number, the things are two : nor I call him, hoping it's his real phone number, and ask him for a formal meeting, nor I keep searching until tomorrow morning without having results.

Of course I choose the first one. I immediately took my phone out and typed the phone number. *beep* *beep* beep* beep*
No one is answering! *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* ...... I called for like 10 mins until a dark voice answered
" Who's there?"
