Her Loved Devil

"I am only a minute late"I said to him and his face remained blank.

"I told you, eight AM sharp"

"But you saw me down the building. I was not late"

"But you were still late to arrive at my office. You work here, with me and that means, you will be considered late or not if you enter the door of my office"

"But you told me to use the stairs! It would have been easier if you just let me go with you on the elevator when you were the only one inside"

"I didn't told you. I demanded you. Also, the elevator is only mine to use and from now on, you will be using the stairs with that kind of attitude you are giving me"He narrowed his eyes at me and I bit my lower lip to prevent myself from shouting at him. Dang, I really want to kill this guy. That's why everyone don't like him. Now I know. I should have stayed at the cafe.

"Sorry, sir"I mutter while looking down.

"Right. You will be excused for today. I expect none of this to happen again. Now, get me my coffee on the cafe next to this building. Go"He said is dismissal and held back the folder he was reading.

My hand clenched tightly, my eye twitched and I bit my lip, hard.  Taking a deep breath, I softly stomped away, ready to face the freaking stairs.

***

I entered the cafe and the familiar smell of caffeine hit my nose as I open the door. I walked in and went to the cashier.

"I would like to order one black coffee with no sugar"I said and the man on the cashier raised a brow at me and looked at me, up and down.

"You look like you just went a marathon"He said and I grumbled. Another man walked beside him and hit him on the back of his head.

"Shut up, man. Don't talk to ladies like that"The cashier smiled sheepishly at me and scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Sorry about that. Your hair is just all over the place"He said and I chuckled, touching my hair.

"Its okay, It just had been hectic"I said and he nodded. He readied and order and once he was done, I gave him my money and he gave me the coffee and the change.

"Have a good day, Frizzy"He winked at me and I blushed.

"Thanks Blondie"I said making him laugh. The guy have a blonde hair, so thats why I called him Blondie.

I walked out of the cafe and groaned once again when I was about to face the stairs again.

I came out panting again when I reached the 20th floor and now The woman I met earlier looked worried at me.

"Dear, why do you keep using the stairs. There are elevators"She told me and help me stand up.

"Mr. Ashton made me use the stairs"I said and the woman stared sympathetically at me. Her eyes dropped on the coffee I'm holding and she sigh.

"Why would you buy a coffee outside when there is a coffee maker just below this floor"

"What?!"I cried and let out a few tears from the pain.

"Oh dear, don't cry. Here"She handed me a napkin and I dried my tears with it.

"I'm alright. I guess Mr. Ashton wants the coffee from the cafe. Thank you anyway ma'am. I still need to give this to him before it gets cold"I said and she nodded at me. I went to Alton's door and knocked on it.

There was fire burning in my chest and I want to let it out by killing somebody and that somebody is Alton. I'm starting to hate him more already. He let me go up and down from the stairs with 20 floors and I swear. Soon, I will tumble down the stairs and end up dead. Then, I will live happily ever after with my parents.

That's a joke.

I entered when he said to come in. I placed his coffee on his desk while he was still on his folder, reading. I was grinding my teeth so hard that I imagine my veins on my head popping out.

"Here is your coffee, sir"I Grint out and he hummed.

"You seem to be fuming. Might want to tell me why?"He said, still on his folder.

"No thank you"I replied.

"Oh, actually. I want you to tell me why. Its a demand"He said, now looking at me with an evil grin.

Fine!

"You made me go up and down the building to get you a coffee!But, there was a coffee machine just below this floor. The worst part is that you made me use the stairs even if I was on the building just before 8 AM. I was not late. The most worst part is I had a rude and arrogant boss!"Those words spilled out of anger from my mouth and I could see Alton look at me with a blank face.

Alton stood up and sigh. "You know, I could have fired you already by now but sadly, my dad had to be the boss. I want to throw you out but I cannot so starting tomorrow, I will be giving you a chance to take the elevator but if you're late again, you will use the stairs. Got it?"He asked.

My face softened and nodded.

"Okay"I replied.

"Good. Also, I like the coffee outside the office so that means you will be getting me coffee there. No need to pay, just tell me its from me. Now, since you are my assistant, you have to help me on my work"He said while sitting back down on his chair. I just stood on my place while listening to me.

"Your next job is to work with me on this papers. You will not be having your own office since you will be mostly with me and that means this will be your office as well but I'm still the boss"He said and I nodded.

"Okay, sir...Thank you"
