Elena POV

"Why am I not surprised?" he says with his well known signature smirk.

Suddenly I find it hard to swallow my own saliva down my throat. All I do is stare at him with a blank face but deep down I am so fishing* scared.

'I wish if I can just run .'

'Too late.' Not at all surprised when my brain betrays me in my most horrible situation.

Noticing my blank face Mr Devil push his laptop away from himself and turns it towards me so that I can see what he wants me to see. He presses enter on his laptop keyboard and a video starts playing on the screen.

And when I see it my eyes widens like saucer and my body freezes instantly.

'Oh no !!!'

There on the screen, it was me in the video. Showing how i threw his vase on his cabin door and ran from the place.

'But how did he get the video? ' I think. And then it clicks me like a thousand knives.

'Oh shit ! the surveillance camera. How can I be so dumb? How can I forget about the camera that was placed right on the top left corner on the wall of his cabin door.How
can I be so stupid ? '

My hands starts sweating and trembling in nervousness and most of all in fear. I tightly clench the sides of my pencil black skirt.
And bite the side of my lower lip.

Suddenly my little heel sandals appear interesting as I stare at them not lifting my eyes nor my head up.

'This is one of my most embarrassing moments. I'm never forgetting this day. Who am I kidding? I'm not going to forget a single day working with Mr Devil.Playing a trick is cool but playing a trick and getting caught is not at all cool.'

"So is it you or your twin sister 'Selena Steward'? he asks me mokingly.

And now I really wish I had a twin sister.

"I.... I"

'Oh God ! this is so difficult.'

With my eyes still down I finally manage to say or likely stutter.
"I.... a-am.....so-o-r-ry."

I sense his standing from his throne ahem, his chair and taking long dangerous steps towards me.

Almost ready to pounce on me like a tiger and me ahem, the sweet innocent deer.

He steps closer and I take a step back. He again steps forward and I step back again. We do that for a while.
Front.
Back.
Front.
Back.
Front.
Back.
Finally it stops when I hit my back with the wall. And I can sense his face just an inch away from mine.

Then suddenly fear creeps into my mind when he lays his both hands on the wall on either sides of my face.

I gulp down soundly and finally decide to lift my head up. I look at him while still biting my lower lip. His eyes move from my eyes towards my lips. He glance at them from a second and looks at me quickly.

"You should be sorry. I'll cut the cost of the vase from your salary."
My eyes widen after hearing his words.

'Damn'

But I nod reluctantly.

'After all its just a vase. How much can it cost? Ha . Maybe 200-300$. Right.'

'May be a little more than that because it looked costly.' My brain says obviously increasing my worry.

"How much did the vase cost Mr Smith?" I ask him reluctantly.

'Please tell 200$.'

"12,000$." He simply says as if it cost a penny.

Ofcourse after all he is a billionaire.

"WHAT?????" I shout suddenly.

"Yes. It was an antique vase Miss Steward."

My face falls. And he removes his hands from the wall and puts them in his pant pockets.

He smiles at me totally adoring my misery.

"You can go home. Its time to leave." he says.

I nod and walk towards the door.Opening the door I step forward.

I walk towards my cabin and collect my hand bag.
Feeling a vibration. I pull out my cell phone from my hand bag.

And notice a message which brings a smile on my face even after having a very bad day.
