Chapter 38

Liz Collins

"Uh..." I don't know what's wrong today. Sam looks really mad and disappointed.

"Just get to work." He said coldly and I quickly obeyed.

I have been working for hours and I have to say Sam gave me lots of things to work on which was different from usual. What's wrong with him?

I finally can take a break and go to the canteen. I got something to eat and sat at one of the tables there when the three people I met yesterday appeared.

"Hey!" I said to them.

"Hi. Have you seen Mr.Parkinson this morning?" Sandra asked me.

"Huh?" I turned to her clueless.

"She came late, Sandra. She probably didn't know anything." Clover spoke silently.

"What do you mean?" I asked all of them.

"Mr.Parkinson was very furious about something. We all don't know what it is, but boy... This morning was not good at all. He was snapping everyone around. I was actually scared." Clover said as they nodded.

"Yeah. He was ordering and handing us tons of work. He looks very angry and trust me, every employee is definitely afraid." Sandra recited.

What's wrong with him today?

"I was very nervous when I reported to his office. He was way colder than before." Mark shivered as the two girls shook their heads.

It is true. Today, I have been trying to talk to Sam, but somehow couldn't. He kept snapping at me and talking to me coldly. His face hardens every time he speaks.

"By the way, you must have had a great time with your man yesterday." Clover exclaimed.

"Uh..." I don't know how to tell them that Rick was just pretending and joking around.

"You are very lucky to have a very handsome guy like Rick." Sandra said dreamily.

"A-Actually Rick is just joking around." I told them and the girls looked at me.

"What?!" They shouted and Mark and I shushed them up.

"Be quiet, will you?" Mark scolded.

"So, Rick isn't..." Both Clover and Sandra spoke quietly.

"Yes. You must've misunderstood." I stated the truth. I don't want Rick to get associated in this.

"You have got to tell me his number." Sandra says excitingly.

"Liz, Mr.Parkinson wants to see you right now." Aiden came and told me, indicating it was urgent.

"OK." I quickly went into his office.

"Liz, I want the documents now." His face was so blank and cold that I almost couldn't even speak.

"I haven't finished it yet." His eyes were flaring onto my face. This is the new side of Samuel Parkinson that I have encountered today and to be honest, I don't want to see this dark and cold side of him ever again.

"What do you mean you haven't finished it yet?" He was spitting out words with venom.

"You gave me less time to-" I was interrupted by his demanding, cold voice.

"Go and finish it now." He dismissed me without even letting me speak my request if I could hand it to him tomorrow.

Why does it feel like Deja Vu? I know he did that to me before because I called him a JERK. However, I don't know the reason this time and it is much more worse than before.
