Fire And Ice

Chapter 7

Next morning I woke up like any other day. I opened my eyes and allowed the warming morning rays to travel on me. I looked at the watch and suddenly realization hit me. 6:30! Oh shit! I am seriously in trouble.
I leaped out of my bed and got ready at the speed of a cheetah.
"Never forget your aim dear." Gigi warned before me leaving my house.
I sat in my car and drove crazily. Following the address given to me, I reached a multistoreyed building.
Hurry up Sara!
I took the elevator and waited for it to reach the seventh floor. My heart was beating unevenly from all the rushing. Finally, the elevator door opened and soon enough I was standing in front of Mr Grey's penthouse door. I took a deep breadth and rang the bell. I was relieved to find a pair of pretty old eyes looking at me instead of cold blue eyes.
"Hi! I'm Sara Meyer. Mr G-"
"You are late. Hurry in."
I was startled to see the worried expression on her face.
Mr Grey's apartment resembled his office in colours-boring. It was huge, as expected, with expensive furnishing. The only thing I loved truely about the house was that on one side of the wall there was a huge glass window. The view from there was amazing.
"I'm worried your first day of job is not going to be very nice."the old lady's voice inrerrupted my thoughts.
"Hi. I'm Samantha. I take care of Mr Grey's house."
"Is he awake?"
"I'm afraid he is. Just go into his room and dont forget to knock"
"Uh-Okay."
I followed Samantha to a door which was probably his bedroom. Samantha left me and continued with her work. I knocked the door.
"Mr Grey?"
"You are late." I heard hus deep voice reply me.
"Yes.I'm sorry about that but-"
"You may go."
"What?"
"I said you may go." I heard him say under gritted teeth.
"Why?"
Suddenly the door opened and i was pulled in. The door closed and i was crushed against it by him.
"What is your problem?" he said.
I was out of words for a while,clearly affected by our close proximity.
Watch out Sara. There's a devil behind the good looks.
"What is YOUR problem?" I snapped him back.
"No one ever dares me to answer back ." He said slowly closing the little gap between us. I realized that this was his trick to shut a girl's mouth. But this is not going to affect me.
"Move back." I said sternly.
He seemed to be shocked by my words.
"I said Move. Back."
He looked at me for some time, our breathing being the only sound heard. The silence  and his closeness was killing me. Atlast he took his steps back and turned. I was surprised to find him in suit even in this early morning.
"From today, you'll have to to maintain my schedule and do all the jobs that a PA is meant to do." He said in his boss- like tone.
"Yes sir." I managed to reply.

I followed him to his office. He went in his car. I was told to follow behind in my car. It was a relief to find some time with myself, away from his cold stare.
Its better if he maintained his distance from me.
I didnt like the effect his closeness had on me,even for a second. He was my enemy.

After some time, we reached the office. He went out of his car,not even waiting for me to follow. I quickened my speed and walked behind him. He was greeted with many 'good mornings' by his employees. He didnt even had the decency to even nod at them.
Grey blood.
We went inside his cabin, sat in his chair and began doing something in his laptop.
"At what time do I have the meeting with the timber company?" He asked,not even looking at me. I was checking his time table when he growled "Fast!"
"2pm"
"Cancel it and fix a meeting with the steel company."
"Ok sir."

The day went out quite fine, with him loading me with work and snapping. I decided to control my anger and keep my mouth shut.
I'll have to be careful not to lose the job.
I went back home at 10pm and slept.
It was a tiring day.
