*5 years after*

*XAVIER POV*

The life of a player became the norm for me. No attachment and no feelings necessary. How could I feel after I lost the love of my life 5 years ago? My whole family wanted me to move on, but I could not. I never can and never will. I loved once and she was taken away from me so never again.I will never make that mistake again. Why get attached to someone when you might end up getting hurt again? I've accepted that love isn't for me and everyone needs to accept that.

Last night was one of the many mistakes I have made. The kiss with Erica made me realise what I am doing. She is slowly breaking down my walls and I am letting her. I'm letting her in and I can't allow that, I can never allow myself to love anyone again ever. More for my sake than hers.

Now I'll show everyone who the real Xavier is. The real bastard. The asshole. The rude one, the one who everyone will soon come to despise. I'll make everyone hate me. Even Erica. I can't hurt her if she hates me. Can I? But most importantly, will she hate me? After she sees the Xavier before Sapphire came into my life? The one everyone fears? Will she, leave? Of course, she will leave! Who would want to work for a bastard like me? What are you fucking thinking Xavier! You want her to leave! Enough of this! It's time.

Time to show everyone who the real Xavier is.

*AT THE OFFICE*

*ERICA POV*

After the immense debate, I finally entered the office. After that kiss, I thought I should leave the job, I can't work here, I won't be able to bear seeing his face, the face full of regret after it dawned on him what he had done. Why did he regret kissing me? Am I that bad? Does he despise me that much? Oh, let's give the poor old girl a kiss! But, personal battles aside, I need this job, I need money to support my family. That was the whole point of working for him anyway. I pushed all these thoughts away and walked straight to Lizzi.

''Hey Liz.'' She looked up, but her usual peppy demeanour was now replaced with worry.

''Um- Hi Erica'' Woah! Did she call me by my full name? Now I know something is really wrong, she never greets me like that. It was always the stupid nickname she had for me.

''You okay Liz?'' She looked up from her desk at me, her usually sparkling eyes were now expressing fear. All of a sudden, she got up and pulled me to the ladies washroom.

''Woah, easy there tiger! what's wrong?'' I questioned. It wasn't like her to be this scared.

She looked around the stalls in the toilet to see if anyone was here. Satisfied that the coast was clear, she spoke.

''It's Xavier'' She whispered.

''Great! What did that bastard do again?'' I rolled my eyes. When was he never the root of the problem. I swear if he did anything wrong with Liz I'll kill him! He already was in my bad books.

''Shh!! Keep your voice down will you! Before you came, Xavier fired 23 people today and he's gotten so serious. Gone is the funny Xavier, I don't know what's happened to him he's going insane! He's so angry at everyone!'' She blurted out. I could feel the worry oozing out of her, she thought she was next. Wait, was I?

''WHAT! 23 people? Why!?'' What could they have possibly done for them to be fired, and that too in 1 day.

''Because one was eating when it wasn't their lunch time, the second one I guess didn't complete his work on time, Third one was found texting on the phone and next minute twenty-three people are fired!''

''What? for these small things?'' He could have just given them a warning, firing them was such an extreme measure.

''Yup, Erica I suggest you go meet him and complete your work. He's really mad today. Just don't do anything to make him angry. I know you like to challenge him, but for everyone's sake, don't.''

''Thanks for the heads-up. See you then Liz. I'll find you at lunch.'' I hugged her but I could sense the fear coming out of her. I just don't get it, she has been working here since she was 18, and she is the one that knows Xavier the most here yet she is terrified of him. Judging by their relationship you would think they were siblings. He won't fire her I guess so she doesn't need to be scared.

I followed Lizzi out of the washroom and we went our separate ways. I walked straight to Xavier's office. What could have possibly happened for him to behave like this? He was perfectly fine yesterday minus the incident. But he was having fun and so was I. It just didn't make sense.

Breathe in breathe out.

After repeating this process for about seven times I went inside his office after knocking.

"Where were you'' he snarled at me! He didn't even look up to see who it was, yet he spoke harshly.

"Excuse me? I was at my house got a problem with that??" I hissed back. That was when I wanted to slap myself. He was already pissed, don't aggravate him more! Bad move Erica... Bad move.

With that, all files came flying to my face.

"What the hell!" I shouted. He really was pissed.

"Shut up and get out of my office! You're good for nothing" He growled at me. Not wanting to retaliate, I stomped my foot and walked outside his office. How dare he throw the thing at my face! Okay, I shouldn't have spoke untowardly but I didn't deserve that. No one does.

I went to my cabin and sat there contemplating why he was acting like this. So far, I had no reasons, besides knowing he liked Chinese food, I had nothing. I really don't know what his deal is. For all I care I want to finish my work and go home. The less I see him today, the better. Yesterday was just a mistake. However, if I really try and read him, he isn't the sassy type. He is more of the flirty sarcastic type.

All of this drama was giving me a headache and I had brought no painkillers with me.  As soon as I closed my eyes to rest for a little, my door swung open.

"I don't pay you so you can fucking sleep around" Someone growled.

I open my eyes and mentally groan.

Shit. This day is going great. So much for not irritating him.
