My Boss

Chapter 3

"...and she went crying to Mrs Storm that I poured ice cream all over her dress"
I laughed loudly and clutched my tummy because it was hurting from laughing too much.
"See I told you I'll make you laugh" Tyler said and I laughed

Confused right?
20 minutes earlier
I was at the office during lunch and Mr Tyler Martins came.

"Hey Cassy" he said with a smile

"Hi Mr Martins"

"Just call me Tyler."

"Ok hi Tyler" and he just continued smiling

"I think it's lunch time.I saw some people having coffee dowmstairs.Aren't you going to have lunch?" he asked

"No I'm not hungry" I replied

"Come on I can take you to have lunch somewhere. Besides, lunch is 45 minutes long"

"Really?"

"Yes let's go have lunch somewhere"

I considered it for a while and finally gave in.

Now

So that's how we ended up here.

"So Cassy tell me about yourself"he said

"Oh well I'm Cassandra Morales as you already know. I'm from Positano in Italy but my family moved to Las Vegas before I was born so I grew up in Las Vegas.I moved here to live with my grandmother when I was 15"

"You lived in Las Vegas?" he asked with wide eyes

"Yes, why?"

"Oh it's nothing. Damien and I used to visit there every vacation with our parents." he said with a sad smile
I didn't want to spoil the mood by asking what happened so I just let it slide.

"I actually lived in Las Vegas till I was 15, then I moved here with my grandmother"

"That's cool"

"I have to head back to the office now. It's almost the end of lunch" I said, looking at my watch.

"Yes let me take you back"

*****************************
"Where were you?" Mr Martins asked me with a stern look
Tyler had just dropped me off and when I went inside, I was told by one of my co-workers, Katrina that Mr Martins was calling me. I was so scared because I was 10 minutes late.

"I asked you a question."

"Sorry sir, I went out to have lunch"

"And why are you late?"

"Tyler was-"

"My brother?!" he asked and I nodded

"How dare you go with my brother?" he asked in a cold tone that sent chills down my spine. I've worked with him for two weeks but I still get scared when he gives me that stern look or speaks in that cold voice.

"Sorry sir, he-"

"Look! you only work for me. You have no business with anyone in my family"

"Yes sir"

"Don't go out with Tyler ever again" he said

"Now take these papers, give them to Katrina and tell her to go through them for tomorrow's meeting. Tell her I will not tolerate any mistakes in it"

"Yes sir" I nodded and took the papers

"You may leave"

***********************
"Who is this?" I asked when I answered the phone

"Can't you recognize my voice?" the person asked

"Tyler?"

"Of course it's me"

"How did you get my number?"

"Have you forgotten we exchanged numbers?"

"Oh yeah" I totally forgot about that.

"I was wondering if you would like to go grab some coffee"

"Um no...I mean I'm busy" I lied

"Then I guess that will be another time"

"Yeah" I said and ended the call

I have to try and stay away from him. I don't want to have any trouble with Mr Martins.
