With Or Without You (Completed)

Chapter 2

Elli stomped towards her tiny cubicle, sat on her uncomfortable chair heavily... almost as if she intended to crash the chair with the help of her butt. Next, she threw the damned file away and was in the process of removing her heels.

"Elli," Missy, one of her colleagues from the next cubicles called her with worry, "that rascal Mr. Carlton again changed the details?"

"Oh, he did! And he does that all the time since the moment I was appointed to design his damn website." Elli scoffed with fury.

Missy gave her a sympathetic look. Some clients were just so inhuman and bothersome that it wasn't a surprise to find the designers so frustrated like this. But for the free spirited Elli, this frustration got to a complete unbearable level, especially after the very not so well-known, nearly bankrupt... so called businessman Carlton stepped foot inside the The Shades Designs. 

And there was this another thing with the freaking name of this web design company - The Shades! Sometimes Elli wondered if her boss was a die fan of the Fifty Shades, the thought always crept the hell out of her, it didn't help the matter that her boss's name was Chris. That could be the short form of Christian.

Elli shook her head furiously. What was she thinking! She focused on the present and found that she had her heels in both her hands, the sight of them made her remember her fury, her frustration, the a**hole Carlton. Out of anger she threw her heels aiming the wall. Who knew they would land right on top of Chris, her infamous boss's head.

Gasps sounded from every corner of the room, people peeked out of their cubicles warily but curiously as to see what would happen next. 

Elli could just gulp and smile at her boss with a pale gone face.

Elli sipped on her coffee with an expressionless face, Oliver sat opposite her on the sofa and stared at her silently, that silence however didn't stay intact for long.

"What crawled up you a**?" Oliver asked finally.

Not even turning to look at Oliver, Elli snorted in reply.

Oliver nodded as if he got it. Silence fell again, and then Oliver jumped in fright suddenly when after a long minute Elli yelled, "I'm so going to shove my curling iron down Mr. Carlton's stubborn throat and then do the same with that boss of mine."

Taking his time to settle back down, Oliver raised a brow and smirked. 

"What did you do?" He asked.

Elli grunted now turning to look at Oliver, "Chris, my boss screamed my ears off, jeez... my damn eardrums are still ringing!"

"Uh... that wasn't the answer of my question, Elli." Oliver reminded carefully.

With annoyance Elli replied, "I... I kinda threw my heels and they accidentally dropped on," she paused for a second and then said, "his head."

For a long moment that felt like eternity, Oliver stared at Elli with a blank look until it seemed like he was all of the sudden punched in the guts. In no time, Oliver was howling in laughter, his booming tone filled almost the whole house. 

"Damn, Elli!" he managed to speak in between endless laughter, "you throw your heels on your boss's head and then accept him to not say a thing to you, are you freaking alright upstairs?"
