*Louise's point of view*

'What are you on about?' I exclaimed angrily. 'you can't just randomly pick up people from the streets! That's called kidnapping!'

'It's not my fault you were too slow in walking. You might not know this since your obviously either unemployed or working minimum wage but some of us have places to go and important people to meet,' the man said arrogantly as he started to push me forward impatiently.

'I- and how did you come about that conclusion Mr. High and mighty?' I growled, I was already growing a strong dislike towards the Neanderthal in front of me.

'Simple. you're a woman,' he stated arrogantly as if that statement he just made was the end all and be all.

'And would you like to explain to me how my gender has anything to do with that extremely narcissistic comment you just made?' I growled lowly as I narrowed my eyes at him. I just knew that when the idiot opened his mouth, more bullshit would tumble out, stinking up the joint and quite frankly, my nose is too sensitive for that much shit.

Well, its a known thing that while there has been an increase in women completing higher education, they tend to major in useless things such as beauty or textile, that kind of garbage that has no jobs, leaving the poor men they manage to entrance to pickup the slack and pay the bills,' he stated before turning me around, before grabbing my arms again and lifting me up before increasing his strides.

Being this high and seeing the difference in coverage of ground really put into perspective his annoyance at my pace, not that it was going to distract me from the extremely sexist comment that had just left his mouth. Quite frankly, I'm pretty sure my jaw was somewhere near where my feet were supposed to be. On the ground.

'Let me guess, your one of those ejects that agrees that females should be paid less than men for the same job,' I said dryly as I saw him slow down and turn a corner. We were nearing my work.

'Yes, I do actually, since I know the actual difference than on paper,' he said frowning, he seemed to be getting annoyed at my constant stream of questions.

Good, he needs something to dislodge his ego from his ass.

'Like what?' I asked confused, 'they both worked hard to get the same degree and get the job, the woman probably harder due to backward thinking idiots like you in the world.'

'Well you can't just blame the world's problems on me,' he said, 'im just speaking from personal experience, I tend to trust men more than woman especially with important company information as woman tend to blurt out anything and everything when emotional.'

I couldn't really argue the last point because as painful as it was to admit, especially to the arrogant ogre who by the way still has me in a viper grip, it was partially right. We sort of got ourselves into that one.

Blushing and looking away, I came to the realisation that we were at my work. Squirming to be let down, I quickly rearranged myself to look presentable before turning to thank the arrogant stranger but he bet me to it.

' Now, while this conversation has between us has been completely useless and unstimulating, I really must dash. ' he grimaced as he wiped his hand as if trying to erase any trace of poverty and woman before entering the restaurant leaving me fuming outside for a few seconds.

I was about to march up to him and give him the slap my hand has been itching to give him all day when I spotted my boss giving me the stink eye. Deciding that my job was more important than revenge, even as sweet as it was to be, I turned around and stomped my way to the staff room where I tried to calm myself down.

'Hi lulu, have you seen the hunk of a man that just walked in?' Amber, my somewhat ditzy friend gushed as she ran into the staffroom. I cringed at the horrid nickname she had assigned me. 'I want to have his baby's!

'Well good for you Amber, I on the other hand have bigger problems, such as bossy Joe who looked like he was planning my funeral.' I grumbled. The man has been looking for a reason to fire me since I refused his sexual advances.

'Oh yeah, I knew I came here for a reason,' she said brightening up, ' he said to hurry up, we have important clients today who booked out the back room for some dinner, since it's your  full shift, he gave it to you.'

Ugh, even though Amber was my friend and I loved her, sometimes I just wanted to smash a brick into her face. You're not supposed to deliver such horrid news with the 'Happy-go-lucky' demeanour she just used. It'll get you killed.

'Louise!' I heard my boss bellow, and I knew that was my queue to get to work.

'Yes boss?' I said trying to mimic Amber's attitude and failing miserably due to my face being in a constant state of I-don't-give-two-fucks.

'Can you at least try to seem like you enjoy working here?' Bossy Joe grumbled looking highly irritated at me.

'No' I said bluntly. He glared at me before grabbing my hands and dragging me towards the back room.

'Well if you're going to have that holier than thou attitude, you can serve the entire dinner yourself! The first sign of a mistake and your out!' He sneered before shoving me into the room with the proverbial sharks.

The first thing I noticed when I came stumbling into the room -quite literally- was that the arrogant ogre from earlier was sat at the head of the table. His head snapped up at the sound of the door closing behind me. Instantly his devastatingly gorgeous eyes locked onto mine and is mouth quirked upwards in a mocking smile.

Taking a deep breath, I could not stop myself from face palming.

'Lord give me strength!'

 *Hey guys! it's me again! I know that it was short, only like 1000 words but I want to get the first few chapters when they meet and stuff out the way quickly so we can get to the juicy stuff but I want it to be done tastefully. don't know if I'm succeeding or not.

Also, I checked my status thing and apparently the majority of use are from the USA so, i was wondering if I should update according to the US times since I stay in the Uk and were like 12 hours ahead or behind o something like that. just let me know! *
