A.N: have u read the warning? If yes, dont act surprised and all soft and almighty later on :)))))))))))
Today was the day.
It was really happening. Was he stupid to actually be there? Maybe he was even more suicidal than the average person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be coming here with his own two feet.
His hands were clammy with sweat and cold with nerves. The skyscraper went on forever and, despite his 183 centimetres of height, Will found he would lose balance if he were to follow the building until its very edge.
His stomach was aching. It always was. But on days like this when his anxiety was on such maximum level that he kept on emptying his stomach to the point of dry heaving splattered all over the floor, it hurt a hell of a lot more.
Maybe it was best to go back. It wasn't like he would starve or be homeless if he didn't step inside. Then again... nowhere else paid him the amount these people had offered.
After around 10 minutes of contemplating, a look at his watch showed he had no more time for listening to his very justified anxiety. TJ company was not your typical one after all.
The company was one of the top 3 biggest companies of the country. The reason behind its unbelievable success in a mere 6 years were the 2 CEOs that were famous for their high IQs and rapid intelligent ideas.
Mr. Walton and Mr. Carpenter, the 2 CEOs, first presented their idea at a startup event, finding sponsors left and right instantly. From there on, they only kept on advancing in different branches.
But the company's huge brand wasn't what turned Will's stomach — He actually threw up the sandwich he ate in the subway right after he stepped out of the cabin, having had to rush to the restroom on full speed like a maniac — What had him scared shitless was the CEO.
Will had met the two at various meetings before at his previous workplace. Mr. Walton was terrifying. So, So, SO TERRIFYING. And if it wasn't for the huge salary this direct assistant job offered, he would never ever EVER even apply.
However, reaching his 30s in 2 years, he figured it was time to step out of his comfort zone and leave the job he had for years to be able to save up a bit. Well, save up A LOT since the salary was crazy!
But now, actually walking toward the elevator, getting in, and reaching his bosses' office, he was regretting his life choices.
He was there, standing behind the big double wooden door, breathing deeply to get himself ready to knock. He was still not over the trauma of their last meeting when Mr. Walton threw a whole folder at his previous boss for not being thoroughly prepared. And if the CEO treated another CEO of another company like that, he didn't even want to imagine what kind of treatment he himself was going to get.
Swallowing hard, he finally raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. At his previous job, the boss didn't like saying 'come in' all the time so they kind of went in after knocking and waiting for a few seconds, and that was what Will did here as well. Oh how he wished he had waited...
Walking in, he saw the scary man leaning back on his comfortable leather chair behind his desk with his eyes closed. Mr. Walton was asleep.
Looking at the other desk, just half a meter away from Mr.Walton's, he found it unoccupied. He was told to be there at 8 AM sharp but one of his bosses was asleep and the other one wasn't even there so he was kind of lost.
He didn't know what to do with himself. He decided that it was only best if he left the room and waited for Mr.Carpenter to arrive. Only that he never even managed to turn the doorknob.
His hand had just touched the cold metal of it when he was grabbed by the back of his collar harshly, turned around and pressed against the wooden surface of the door with so much force, all the air left his lungs.
Staring at the man who had been asleep just a second ago with wide eyes and a parted mouth in fear, he only managed to raise his hands to defend himself if necessary.
"Who are you?" The question didn't even sound like a question as the muscular man pushed him further into the surface with the hand he had on Will's chest, the other hanging in the air ready to punch him.
"I-I'm William Miller." He stuttered, frozen to the point he was even unable to blink.
This man was even more terrifying up close. His eyes were so intense, Will could swear he would break a neck in a second without hesitance if he felt the need to.
"I don't care about your name. What are you doing in my office, William Miller?" The man's face came dangerously close to his and he had to look to the side because there was no way he could keep that eye contact.
He was sure he would wet himself any second now and was kind of thankful he had thrown up all he had eaten in the morning or else he would do it now.
The gods must have heard his prayers as the door opened and Mr.Carpenter walked in. He locked eyes with Will for less than a second before looking at the man holding him there for the equal amount of time. This must have been something that happened often because Mr.Carpenter didn't look surprised or shocked or even slightly scared.
Throwing the folder he had in hand on the sofa, Mr.Carpenter circled his fingers around the hand that was aimed at Will in the air. He leaned down slowly and whispered something in Mr. Walton's ear. It was so low that even though they were literally standing next to each other, Will didn't hear it. He was only thankful that whatever the other said, it managed to calm Mr.Walton down as he let go of him and took a step back, still looking at him like he had murdered the president or something.
"I'm gonna get some air." The man who had attacked him said before walking out of the office and closing the door behind himself.
He didn't know what to do so he just stood there, fixing his attire.
"Please. Sit down." Mr.Carpenter said after a very deep sigh.
Will nodded and walked to the sofa that was across from the one the CEO was sitting on at the moment.
"Sorry for the... situation. He's not always like that. He just didn't know you." Mr.Carpenter paused. "He doesn't like people he doesn't know. Coffee?"
Will shook his head as he was not really in the mood of drinking anything, fearing he would just end up vomiting again. He had a weak stomach.
"We were too busy and didn't have time to do the interview ourselves. But the person who chose you for the job was sure you could keep up with all that's required of you. But i'm guessing they didn't tell you anything about Theodore's." Mr.Carpenter said as he played with the stubbles on his chin, looking directly at Will with his legs crossed. He looked like a nobleman.
"Theodore is rather sensitive but it'll get easy once you get a hang of his personality. " He said and observed his reaction.
"There are only a few rules you have to follow and you'll be in no trouble at all. Don't come in without permission. Don't make loud noises. Don't make sudden moves. Your phone must be on mute all the time. The office phone is at the lowest volume, leave it like that. Just whatever you do, do not make him upset."
Will found himself swallowing hard and he felt a shiver run down his spine. Just what had he gotten himself into?!
