Chapter 7: Workstration

"No, no, no, fuccckkkkkkk" I scream after my alarm leads my ear to bleed. It's already 9 am and I am not supposed to be at home right now.

I jump out of the bed in my boy shorts and a tank top that barely covers my belly button.

"Stefan! Stefan!" I scream out his name as I open the door.

I hitch my breath when I find Viola in the kitchen.

"Where's Stefan?" I ask her. She ignores as she keeps making her smoothie.

"He's out" she tells me making faces. I groan. Bastard didn't wake me up on purpose.

I yawn as I rush into my room. Freshen up and get dressed. My boss is definitely going to fire me.

XXXXXXXX

"Excuse me" I say trying to make a place between the Jam of few people to get into the elevator. Someone from the Human Jam says "It's broken. Take the stairs."

I sigh. I run into the stairs. I need to be on 8th floor. My legs hurt as I run, my chest risen but I've no choice left. It's a do or die situation.

I hum as I open the door, holding the doorknob tightly, trying to catch my breath and make a steady balance.

I see my boss shaking his hand with Stefan and they both look at me.

I speak with my unsteady breath "May I... Come in" I say.

My boss is already shooting me death glare. He specifically told me to not be late because it's important. But he doesn't know one thing that Stefan Salvatore is my roommate.

I notice Stefan's wrinkling his forehead as he never have seen me before. Like he never even heard of me.

I really wanna punch him so hard but I swallow.

"That's..." My boss is about to speak.

"Lena Gilbert" Stefan says.

"E-L-E-N-A" I spell my name. He 'o's. Bitch!

"Elena the woman I specifically asked to be in this project?" He asks me.

I nod. Damn! Him. "Yes" I say finally balancing myself. He studies me and then after few seconds, he looks at my boss.

"Mr. Jonas, I'm afraid her being late would harm this project. Is this how she comes at office? Late! I hate late workers." He says crossing his fingers.

My boss fakes a smile at him and then looks at me. I drop my gaze. Trust me, this bitch is going to die soon and I'll be the death of him.

"It won't happen again. I promise" I tell him taking a step towards him.

He huffs. "I don't know, I'm not sure anymore. Our company don't work based on someone's promise. Only legal statements are valid" he says giving me a questioning look.

I close my eyes, inhale deeply. He's definitely going to die. "I guarantee you, Mr. Salvatore. It'll not happen again. You can trust me. My roommate was supposed to wake me up but he got busy so he couldn't" I give him the best calm statement.

He nods. "Your roommate sounds pain in the ass." He tells me. I fake fluster a smile. "You have no idea" I grin in annoyance. He laughs. "Okay, so it's a deal. We'll be looking forward to working together, Ms. Lena" he says giving me his hand.

"Ms. Gilbert" I tell him shaking his hand and digging a nail into his palm. He winces in pain as he takes his hand away from me. I give him my best fake smile. He smiles awkwardly and says goodbye to my boss.
