I just love this song ❤❤

I woke up to a shrilling sound and groaned loudly. What the hell is that. I looked around trying to find what was causing too much noise. I Pene's alarm still shrilling with so much noise.

I looked at the time on my phone and my eyes nearly left their sockets. We will be so late if we don't start getting ready now.

I woke Pene up with a start and we both started getting ready for our day. We did our normal morning routines. I had to borrow a dress from Pene because I forgot to bring work clothes. I burrowed a dress from Pene. It was a red knee length dress. I actually fell in love with it.

Pene curled my hair last night so I let them flow down my back and grabbed a pair of stilettos from her and got ready for work

Pene curled my hair last night so I let them flow down my back and grabbed a pair of stilettos from her and got ready for work.

Luckily we arrived early, thanks to Pene's crazy driving skills. Even though she lived closer to the company,we still used her car.

I waved Pene goodbye and rode the elevator to my floor. I wasn't late this time around. I'm sure he would have given me a lecture if I had gotten here late. I knocked on his door and his usual grumpy voice ordered me to come in.

I entered right after his ordered. " Good morning sir". I greeted.

He looked surprised for a minute. I thought I would actually gain a compliment or something but guess what, he just shook his head and said nothing. He didn't even aknowledge my greetings and just went ahead to tell me what I'm supposed to do today.

" I placed some files on your desk. I want you to make soft copies of them. There should be no mistakes. Also arrange them alphabetically. I want them all done today. Once you are done you can leave". He dismissed me.

I was very happy. I mean I got to close early from work today. That's what I thought until I entered my office. The files on my desk will take days to finish making them into soft copies.

Is it a type of punishment or what. I immediately got to work. Some of the files went way back to the 90s. How can he make me do all this in just a day.

Time was running very fast. It was lunch time and I wasn't even done with half of the work he gave me. I heard my phone ringing and realized Pene is trying to get to me.

" Hey Pene. What's up ". I said lazily into the phone.

" I don't think so. I have a whole lot of stuff to finish in just a day " I groaned into the phone.

" Don't worry I'll bring your lunch up and I can even help with work ". She replied.

" Thank you Pene ". I was grateful to have a friend like her.

" You are welcome ". She said and hanged up.

I got back to work. My fingers were stiff from all the typing I've been doing since morning but also have to continue if I want to get home early. Pene arrived with pizza and pineapple juice.

" Hey. What work do you have to finish that can't make you come down for lunch ". She demanded after she got comfortable in my office.

" I have to make soft copies of all these files ". I explained to her and she widened her eyes.

" How can he make you do that. He is such an asshole ". She exclaimed and I agreed with her on that.

She sat behind my desk and got to work while I ate lunch and rest my fingers for a bit.

Lunch was over and Pene had to leave. I was grateful for the help she gave me. I continued with my unfinished business.

By closing time I had done more than half of my work but I still had to finish before I leave. I suddenly felt furious.

The fact that he is my boss doesn't mean he can give me a work load like this. I mean I can go home and come back to finish it tomorrow. But no. My asshole of a boss says it should be done today.

The furry I felt made me work faster. I should have felt angry since the beginning. I would have been done by now. I finished everything around 11:00pm.

I called Aunt Kaylee and told her I would spend the night at Pene's. I sent the soft copied files to his email account. I walked into his office to tell him I'm leaving.

" I'm done. I just sent them to you through your email. I'm leaving ". I told him and was about to walk out of his office when his voiced stopped me.

" Wait, I'll drop you off ". He demanded more than politely say.

" I'm going to Pene's, I don't need a ride ". I replied angrily.

He looked up from what he was currently doing and the look he gave me made me walk to the sofa in his office and plumbed down on it. " God I hate this man ". I exclaimed inwardly.

I have been sitting around here for almost an hour now. I have been drifting in and out of sleep and this man is still not done with whatever he is working on. I stood up and parked my stuff.

" Where are you going ?" I heard him ask. I ignored him and walked out of the office. Who does he even think he is. He can't just order me about like that. He doesn't own me.

I decided to take a short cut to Pene's since I was very tired. I followed the directions that leads to the alley. It was very dark but I didn't care at the moment. I only wanted to reach Pene's early and I'm sure she's asleep on her coach and just waiting for me to show up.

I felt someone following me when I got to the middle of the alley. I quickened my steps and was cornered by two well built men. I tried to run past the one in front of me but he caught me and shoved me on the ground. I screamed out loud. I can't believe I'm about to be taken advantage of by two men.

Suddenly I heard a thud and looked down to see the man behind me on the floor badly bruised. When did this happen. The man in front of me rushed to fight the man.

I've never been this grateful in my entire life. I got up from the floor once the other guy was down on the hard ground. I was about to thank my " Savior " when I froze once I realized who he was.

My boss. Yes Duncan William McCarthy single-handedly beat this men black and blue. The eyes that met mine made me feel very scared.

I've never seen him this angry before. He walked up to me and dragged me out of the place into his car.

Once we got settled, he turned to me ready to give me a lecture when I stopped him.

" It's all your fault. If you hadn't given me that kind of work to do I would have been home by now so don't start bullshitting me. Just take me to Pene's " I told him with my eyes firmly shut.

I heard him mutter a sorry but I didn't want to talk to him right now. He took me to Pene's and exited the car without saying a thank you or even a good bye.
