My Boss

Chapter 4

"Cassy you've been ignoring me these past few days. Did I do anything wrong?" Tyler asked as he came up to my desk.

"Um...no.Why would I ignore you?" I laughed nervously

"Is that so?"

"Yes"

"You know what, I think there's something you are hiding"he accused

"Why would you think that?"

"I don't know but something tells me you are hiding something"

"Well, yeah...you're right"

"Tell me what it is"

"No,no,no I can't tell you"

"Why?"

"Because Mr Martins-"

"Oh so it's about Damien"he said "Tell me, what did he say to you?"

"You're too pushy, you know that" I said, trying to change the topic

"Yeah...I know.Now just tell me"

"Fine...the day we went out to eat lunch together, he was really furious and he asked me to stay away from you" I sighed

"So that's why you are ignoring me?" he asked and I nodded
Then he let out a loud laugh which made me surprised.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked him

"You are funny and cute" he said and I blushed

"Stop laughing" I ordered and he stopped

"Why?"

"Mr Martins may come in any moment from now" I whispered "And if he sees me talking to you, he's going to burn me alive"

"Oh stop exaggerating, you know-" as if on cue, Mr Martins entered the office. The glare he gave me when he saw Tyler, was enough to send me to space and back.

"Mr Martins, I'm sorry, I-" he just cut me off "Tyler, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you and she was just telling me that you are not around but since you are here we can talk"

"Let's go to my office and talk"

They went into Mr Martin's office and I sat there thinking about my life in Las Vegas and how I missed the place. I felt like I was missing something or someone but I couldn't quite place a finger on it. It could definitely not be my parents. I never really missed them because my dad died before I was born or so, at least that's what I was told and my mom left me saying she was going to come back for me. I didn't have a lot of friends too, just a few but I can't even remember their names.
Tyler and Mr Martins' footsteps interrupted my thoughts as they came out of Mr Martins' office.
"Miss Morales" Mr Martins called once Tyler left the the office.
I raised my head to look at him.
"Come with me" What did I do this time?
