Unexpectedly, without saying anything to what I've just said , he stands up coming towards me.

The only reason that is preventing me from running for my life right now is that he doesn't look displeased at all. No facial expression, damn.. he's so hard to predict. I have no idea what he's up to right now.

He continues walking closer even when he's so close already , am left with no choice but to move backwards , suddenly I fall on the couch and he leans down towards me , by now my spirit has already flown away , I want to speak but no word is coming out of my mouth , I didn't know he will react this way, I thought he'll be so mad that he throws me down the stairs .

" Okay..." he whispers near my ear smirking victoriously.

Unconsciously I push him away standing up.   "T..that was a.. jo..ke don't yo..u know a joke?" I struggle with words nervously, for the first time am this nervous .

"Didn't they tell you that I never joke around? I mean, I never change my mind once I make it up , and I've just made it up.. seriously, am sure you've heard a lot about me since you came in this company  , haven't you? Anyway, you've asked me out and I've said yes , so we ar.. " he says not smirking anymore.

" No! Seriously... Iwas just kidding!" I say my pitch so high, when he smirks again , that's when I get that he's just f*cking with me.

Suddenly his face is serious "Do I look gay to you Wilson?! Do I look like your age mate? Do you ever see anyone coming in here whenever they feel like it and to make it worse without knocking and talk nonsense? Let me make this clear.. Just because I've been entertaining your silly behaviour, it doesn't  mean am in for more , you gonna respect me like everyone else and you gonna do the work that I give you effectively and submit it on time! Now get the hell out.. go and sit down repeat that work that you did like a two year old and let me have it send to me in twenty minutes."

I walk slowly towards the door without even a single word , I realize that he makes me lack words to say sometimes, something that never happens to me , my legs feel weak , actually there's nothing I did correctly in that work that I sent to him , I mean, he wanted me to send in thirty minutes so I did .

On my working desk , I turn on the computer and correct everything in sixteen minutes then sent them to him , it's not like I didn't know what to do , I didn't just have time .

" Don't think you've worn Mr CEO" I groan to myself .

It's time and most of people have gone home  , but I still have a lot to do. I have to listen to the record earlier , put down everything clearly and sent to various departments to make them ready.

Actually , this company is so big with every categories that caters for every item needed in a wedding. Bakers,, for cakes , designers for clothes.. tailors , theres a jewellery designing.. which is the second biggest category.. I would describe it as a company on it's own but not really , there's us who plan the weddings  and make sure we have everything the clients want , there are beauty or make up artists  and so many other_

So you can imagine how big it is and the work Matt Adams Smith has to control in all this company  , I guess that's why he hasn't gone home yet and he never have time to make friends or do anything fun.

He has dedicated all his life on work. I bet he doesn't have a wife nor a girlfriend,
why am I even thinking about that!

" What?! 8.21 ?! " I look at the watch surprised, the company is almost empty inside! Just few people .

I stand up stretching and sighing loudly, relieved that am done ! My phone is still off and am sure my family is going crazy now.

I walk to the elevator to go and confirm if that hellhound has gone home yet. I see the curtains not drawn yet and light inside his office which means he's still in.

I go back, I hope the cafeteria is not closed yet, I walk towards it happy seeing that it's still open , I buy two tins of hot coffee and go back with them. Heading to his office.

When I get to his door , Again I don't knock intentionally,  I  enter , his head raising up from where it was buried in so many files , danm ! Doesn't he get tired of sitting at one point all these hours?!

" You never listen , do you?" He asks but not angrily.

"You thought you won , didn't you? I've revenged you for lashing at me earlier, you thought you won_ just so you know Mr. CEO , when you fight with me in anything, just know you are bound to loose. You should have known who you were messing with before you did."   I mimic him.

"In for more work? Seems you really enjoy working especially the work I give you."

"Trust me I do but not just in the mood right now , wanna hear something fun?" I ask.

"I don't think so , if no one has ever told you before that your stories and whatever you say are always lame , really lame , so I don't think you I want to here it."  He says looking back to his files , surprisingly , he is not asking me to get the hell out .

"Do you know you are a pretender?" He shots his head up .

"Maybe it wasn't a great idea to hire you after all , you are getting really comfortable around me , aren't you? What did you just say I am?"

"Oh trust me I've always been comfortable around you ever since we met , and I just say you are a pretender."

"Wow, you got some nerves Wilson. "

"Ugh! Ain't you gonna ask why am saying that? Okay I'll say it anyway , you pretend to hate me but for some reasons I feel like you really like me especially when am around." Hell no , that's not true , am just saying that to annoy him.

"Is that so? That's what you think? You really like thinking highly of yourself, don't you?" As he say that ,  he really looked like he was gonna laugh , but I think he realised that he was gonna laugh so he has adjusted his expression.

"I don't think , it's a fact."

"Get out of my face." He says .
