DEPTH OF PAIN{completed}

EIGHTEEN

Enjoy!!!

Bianca

I got up early the next day, and dressed up and drove to work, for me to get to my office I've to pass the front of Felicity's desk which is right in front of Ethan's office.

"Morning Felicity" I greeted.

"Morning Bianca, you look great, and you have a very beautiful hair, it's so long and natural, what's your secret?" I was about to answer when someone cleared his throat behind me, I turned and look.

"Good morning Mr Wellington" I greeted with a smile and I couldn't help checking him out, he's in a black suit that hugged his structure, a five o'clock shadow graced his defined jawline, his emerald eyes shone brightly and his hair, so dark and curly, he looks more handsome and matured than six years ago.

He nodded and said "this is an office not a beauty parlour,  so I would love if you ladies will reduce your giggling and stop talking about hair or whatsoever here!"

"I'm sorry sir" Felicity said with her head bowed, and he looked at me, waiting for me to do the same.

"Why would I apologize when I've done nothing wrong, I've not even said anything yet, the only thing I said when I got here is morning Felicity! So he wants me to apologize for that? No way!" I thought

He kept looking at me, waiting to hear the I'm sorry word but I pretended as if I didn't get the look.

"See me in my office Miss Onuorah" he said and walked into his office

If I'm going to be fired, I should be fired honourably, why would I apologize when I've done nothing wrong?" I thought again and as I was about to follow him, Felicity whispered

"You should apologize when you get there, if you still want to keep your job."

"I don't apologise when I've done nothing wrong" I whispered back and walked to his office.

When I got there, I knocked and he told me to enter, I entered, walked to his table and stood at the other side of his table. I stood for up to ten minute and he still didn't say anything, he kept working on his MacBook.

I was starting to lose my patience, I'm wearing a six inches high heel for  crying out loud and I have been standing since I came into the office.

I cleared my throat and said "Sir, do you need anything? I can come back if you are busy"

"No, stay there" he said coldly

Oh, I know what he's trying to do, he wants to get me to say I'm sorry and then he can let me go, he wants me to give up my ego just like I did six years ago, he must be kidding, I don't care if I stand and faint on this spot, I will never say sorry.

After another one hour my legs are giving up on me and yelling, we will give up soon! My feet ached and it's already having effect on my spine. Damn this heels! I thought again

After 50 minutes which made it two hour that I've been standing, my eyeballs are already red, my limbs are shaking, I'm about to fall, I can't hold on anymore, he glanced at me and paid full attention immediately, he sprang up ran to my side and grabbed me before I could fall.

"A simple sorry and you would have been in your office by now" he said remorsefully.

"I didn't do anything wrong sir!" I shot back with sarcasm "I didn't even say anything, and you want me to say sorry for just listening to your secretary?"

He pulled me to sit on the chair and let go of me.

"Is there anything you want me to do for you again sir?"
