Every single night I'm with a different girl
Who would've knew that life could be a lonely world
Im reminiscing, missing everything we were
So I could be with you, but I still think of her
Its crazy how we don't even talk
And I still think of you in every single place that I walk
In my home, in my city I guess you left a mark
Ain't it funny how you miss the brightest time when its dark?
But the love of my life just turned into anonymous
So now you're a stranger that I don't wanna miss
A stranger with all her clothes in my laundry bin
All of her dresses, her sweaters, her cardigans
I should throw em out, I should just forget it
The past can only hurt you if you let it
But I let it, cause I'm still crazy about you
Life is fucking crazy but its crazier without you

Aryan's POV

"Raina!". I yelled in my office. Where are the files I asked her to bring?.

" Raiinnnaaa". I'm pretty sure everyone on this floor could hear me right now.

A chubby, scared Raina scampered into the office and in the process missed a step almost falling face flat on her knees. She crouched on the floor in pain

"Sir". She managed to compose herself. She was on the verge of crying.

" Where are the files I asked you to bring ". I started questioning her. She was about to explain when I cut her

As usual.
Get the fuck outta my head!!

"I was..."

"Shut up!". "And stand straight when I'm talking to you. If you are tired you can as well quit". I breathed fire right now. I'm pretty sure everyone outside is listening. I don't like sluggish people and Raina always happens to be one.

She lowered her head as she stands up straight and smoothed her crease black skirt.

" I'm sorry. Let me get it". She replied in monosyllables.

I didn't give her a response as she walked dejectedly out of the office. I sacked a lot of staffs in the past few weeks and we are in need of new ones. I want to curb and cut off any lazy worker. You need to work hard for what you want.

I started going through the paper works I asked her for in anger. I heard a light tap on the door but I ignored it but then it came again

"Sir". With a tap

"Sir".

"Bloody hell. Who is that?". I growled at whoever it was.

"Sir. Please its Raina. Can I come in?". She pleaded. With a sigh I replied.

"Thank you sir. Someone is inquiring for a job. She said she is ........" She looked scared.

"I'm busy. I'm closing for today. Or better still reschedule it to tomorrow". I'm tired. Khadeejarh called me today. She wanted some money to travel.

I thought you were daddy's little girl?

" Um sir, you have two meetings tomorrow and a meeting with a software company that is Partnering with us.

Urrghhh can't I have sometime alone?

"I'm hungry. Let it be a lunch meeting. Let's say in the next thirty minutes". I say while looking at my watch. It was 3:05pm

"OK sir". With that she left.

I sat in my office and went through the paper works, when I was through it was 4:30pm. Great so I spent more than an hour.

I got up while my stomach rumbled in hunger. I wondered why Raina didn't come to remind me. As i stepped outta my office i saw Raina eating peacefully, she didn't go out for lunch.

"Sir, the person is waiting on the left hand corner of the cafeteria. Table 22". She jerked when she saw me.

I made my way to the cafeteria without replying her. I never ate at the cafeteria, heck why is there a cafeteria here?
Ting ting ting. My phone beeped. It was khadejarh.

"I've been waiting for the money I asked. What is taking you so long?". She asked unreasonably. Who the hell is she?.

"Don't ask me any bloody questions. I said I'll send it so I'll send it". I hissed in anger as I hung up and walked into the noisy cafeteria with all eyes on me, everywhere turned silent. I scanned round and found table 22 it was a young girl who had her head down operating her phone. Putting on the beast look, i took long strides towards her.

Zoeya's POV

I saw a paper ad two days ago stating for job vacancy in a phone company and I have been contemplating on applying for a job. I donno much about phones and im looking for a job. As what?

I donno don't ask me.

So after Mrs Serena's persistence I find myself waiting for the past one hour waiting for God knows who. I mean who the hell does he think he is?. I took my phone out and started playing a few games which I downloaded for Eem. To be honest they are fun

" Um um". A man cleared his throat as he sat down. I raised my head up only to see him.

The man I've been trying to forget for years. The man who gives me sleepless nights. The man who caused me so much pain and suffering.

To say I was shocked was an understatement. I was just numb. I let everyone whisper and gossip. He too looked shocked. His mouth wide agape. He's changed. Four years made him different. He had an aura of pride. His hair which was once curled is now low and his beards have grown more. He had a glint of hatred in his eyes. Hatred for who?

I cleared my throat after what may seem like twenty minutes and he regained composure.

"What are you doing here?. I'm waiting for someone and he wouldn't like to see someone sitting in his chair". I said in a cocky attitude. I felt like slapping his face right now.

He scoffed and smirked " Oh really?. And who is this person ". He irritated me right now. Who the hell does he think he is.

"Someone that is definitely not you". I spat back at him. He's soooo annoying.

"Well that's too bad. You better leave. I'm waiting for someone who is seeking for a job". He looked at his wristwatch " and by the looks of it is two hours late". What the hell?. Is he......

"No way". I gasped and as if in realization he equally gasped

"Well well well. Look who we have here". He smirked while giving me that lost look. That look that makes everything around me blur. That makes me forget my name, that makes me forget what I'm wearing.

"Are you done?". He thundered.

Does this guy have amnesia?

"Shut up". I fired back.

"Cocky much. Why are you so impatient and annoying?". That didn't just earn him two slaps which made everywhere dead silent and his expression priceless but that made him earn my cup of water dripping all over him. With that i walked out.
