"Come in" I respond after trying to ignore the knock on my office door but whoever it was couldn't quit knocking
"Good day sir" Lily,my secretary stepped in,in her typical office attire
"Hey lily"I responded
" Sir,Mr Tyson asked me to tell you to pls study the documents quickly and forward em to his table for signing immediately "Lily said politely
Fuck you Mr Tyson.
I cursed beneath my breath.
"okay Lily go tell him I'll forward the documents to him as soon as possible" I finally replied
"Okay sir.pls excuse me" Lily said before walking out
I lean to my office chair and breath wearily
I'm so tired.
I'm at work at the Tyson's Global Ltd
My dad's company. Mr Tyson is my dad and I hate him so fucking much yea cause he thinks he's the boss always bossing me around and no matter what I do or say it's never enough for him
I've lived my whole life trying to impress my asshole of a father
I'm so tired of this shit
You think I wanna be here rn?
You must be joking
I hate it here.But Mr Tyson keeps on forcing me
He forced me to put on this expensive but ridiculous looking suit and sit in the four corners of this office on this stupid office chair that wouldn't quit spinning with this mahagony table in front of me with lots of documents and papers that I keep signing and reading and doing all sort of office shit.
I hate it here.
I mean I barely eat anymore cause of work work work
I mean mum serves us coffee in the morning before work but nothing for lunch
I don't even have time to go out and get some food
I managed to sneak out yesterday and get some food running back hurriedly before my dad could notice I guess I'll try that today too cause I'm literally starving right now.
I sit up and start going through the files as instructed it was a proposal from another company I read the benefits and conditions and studied them carefully before arranging them for submission to my dad.
My door flings open
Wtf can't you knock
I almost murmur out loud.Thank God I didn't cause I look towards the door to find Mr Tyson walking in with his usual strict face on.
"How many hours would it take you to go through a file you fool" his deep and harsh voice sounded all over the room
Deep and harsh as usual
I've gotten used to the hatred and harshness in his voice
The insults
The deep hatred in his eyes
His strict face
I've gotten used to it since my childhood days
His deep dark brown eyes bore into my soul as I stand still without saying a word
"You're so rebellious and lazy" he spits "are the files ready now? No mistakes, No conditions that will affect the company?" He asks a sudden calmness in his voice but his strict face still on
"The files are ready" I reply calmly
He walks to my table collects the files from my hands and signs them "if anything should go wrong I swear I won't spare you Lucas" he shoots me a glare and I swear I could see venoms in his eyes.
He walks to the door one more venomous glare at me he leaves shutting the door behind me.
Rude,strict,wicked,hatred,greed
That's Lucas Tyson.
Sometimes I doubt if he's even my biological father
Cause he likes everything I dislike
Plus he's everything I'm not and will never be
I stand still for some minutes starring into the wall and wishing I was never me like I was someone else
Then maybe life would have been perfect for me
But there's no such thing as perfect
That's one thing dad always told me
My stomach growls,I stair at my wrist watch to see it's already thirteen minutes past 2pm and I only had coffee around 7am
My stomach rumbles again and I know I need to put something in my mouth rn
So I pick up my car keys and go down the staircase before using the back door to sneak out so my dad won't get a glance of me
Funny how I sneak out of my own dad's company just to get food
I can't help it as my stomach growls continuously so I roll.
I'm on the road driving to the closest best eatry I know
Food domain eatry
I park my white Lexus in front of the eatry before stepping out and rushing into the place
I immediately order a box of pizza and one cold soda
And within 10 minutes my order is ready
More reason I love this place
Fast orders and tasty food
I decide to eat there and not rush back to the office like yesterday cause I need a break
From work and most especially
From my dad
I sit there enjoying a box of hot pizza bite by bite.
When I finish my food I just sit there fidgeting with my fingers.
I don't know why I'm still here after I know what my dad might do to me if he finds out I'm here
Maybe because I love the sweet scent of this place
Damn it
I can't lie to my self anymore
I'm still here because I want to see her again
I mean the girl that gave me my wallet yesterday
Even though that was the first time I saw her I couldn't stop thinking about her I mean she's so pretty
With big eyes and blonde hair
Her pale green eyes and full lips and her smallish body is nothing but attractive
Only a glance at her but I couldn't ignore her beauty
No don't get me wrong I'm not a horny teen who wants to spend a night with her and every other girl
I just wanna be friends with her and get to know her and
And whatever
I'm so stupid I should've gotten her number yesterday and maybe I'd have called her now
But I was in a rush and she just gave me my wallet after saying thank you was I supposed to be like 'hey beautiful can I get ur number?' Or maybe like 'am Lucas nice meeting you can I get your number?' She'd think I'm a freak
All my life I've only experienced true love from one person Sarah my childhood friend but she left me long ago after finding out I'm a fucked up freak
Since then I don't know what it feels like to be loved
No one loves me
Not my dad
Nor my mum
Nor my sister they just care about me
I'm so stupid I don't even know her and here am I thinking about true love
My phone rings and I answer the call
It's my sister Tessy
"Hey Tess" I say dryly
"Hey Lucas.How you doing" she asked concerned
"I'm okay.you?" I ask back.yea I'm not fine but I'm okay
"I'm fine.How's work?"
"I'm managing. How's Luce?" I ask after my sister's daughter, my niece,my fav 8 yro.I love her.
"She's fine.I'm going to pick her up from sch rn"
"Okay" I reply awkwardly not knowing what to say
"I'm driving right now so I'll call you when I'm less busy okay?"
"Okay" and with that she ends her call
I scroll through my fb page I go to the one person I'm still thinking of,Sarah's profile I drop a message again I've left thousands of messages the past years none of which she's responded to although she keeps posting cute pictures of her only that reassures me she's fine if only she'd at least answer my calls or texts I'll be much happier but
I guess I'm a freak who doesn't deserve someone as lovely and beautiful as Sarah.
I get up glance around but I don't see her I walk out to my car look around still not a sight of her
My phone beeps
It's a text from Lily
"Sir wherever you are please hurry to the office or you might get into trouble please hurry"
'On my way' she seemed so tensed I guess there's big trouble
I start my car engines and drive with as much speed as I can.
I don't want to get in trouble.
Not today.
