"Mr Heandrason,how lovely to see you ." The Hostess at the restaurant welcomed us,

"Thank you Joline, my usual table please.

" I am sorry Sir but your table is currently unavailable as we were not expecting to have you with us here tonight, but if you will wait for a minute while I get it ready for you. Meanwhile, I'll send a waitress to get your order for drinks." She said turning to leave.

"So Miss Lawrence, how do you like the place?" I asked, guiding us to seat the waiting area.

"We could leave if you are not comfortable" I Said trying to create conversation, (should have just kept shut)

"Mr Heandrason please, there is no need to fuss over me, the place is great, you know its great that is why you are here almost everyday."she replied, and I immediately backed off. the waitress took our orders and seconds later Joline came back to lead us to our table, she handed us our menus as Well as the drinks we had ordered.

"Your Dry Martini Ma'am," she said handing the drink to Miss Lawrence,

"and a Double on the rocks for you Sir,"

"Thank you. we will call you when we are ready to order, I told her,

"mmm hey wait! Can I get two more of this please.... infact make it three." My eyes flew open in Shock, Miss Lawrence's glass was at the bottom already and she was ordering more, This girl must have some serious problems.

"Are you sure you don't wanna eat anything before drowning yourself in Liquor Miss Lawrence?" I asked her but I just received a death glare instead
(Why do I even bother?)
Fuck it!

"Dammit Nellisa, you of all people should know I have a lot things to do, you should know that I don't have any time to waste, but here I am trying to create a relation between my assistant and I, so that we can have a smooth working relationship, instead all you have been doing is to fucking throw all my fucking efforts in my fucking face since this Fucking evening began I am not trying to make a move on you Miss so please try to work with me or don't I am fucking okey with either." after that I drank down all my whiskey in one go.
I just had to say it, um not usually this nice and the one day I fucking try to be human this is what I get well Fuck it.
"Now are you ever going to start talking about what brought us here or are you just going to throw me around all night??"

Nelly s POV................

Wow the man must be really mad, he has never called me by my name. um sure if it were possible he would have picked me up and thrown me out of the window.

I finished up the last of my drink and looked at the furious man sitting across the table.

"I am sorry Mr Heandrason,I am just not used to this kind of situation."
"What Situation? Showing people who are trying to care just how ungrateful you can be??" He Furiously answered
(Now that was uncalled for)

"I said i was sorry Sir,now I don't appreciate you calling me ungrateful, you don't even know me." My tone was very serious.
Hell I was not letting any man walk allover me.

"I am sorry Miss Lawrence, can we just both breathe for a moment and remember why we are here." He was calm.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

"Your drinks Ma'am," the waitress said placing a tray on the table. "Can I take your order Now?".
"No not yet." Mr Heandrason told her and she left.

I took a long sip of my drink then started talking. I felt so free by then,

"I was 18 years old when Papa Died, we were getting requirements for admission from all the good colleges. After he died I had to go to school not only to make him proud but for me, for my own good and for my Future. I stopped a while and gulped in all that was left in the glass and I grabbed the next glass, I saw the man s eyes widen and his brows furrow but I did not care for once in my life I felt good and it felt amazing I wanted to be like this always. At least this way nothing hurt....telling this story didn't hurt too much now.

" I didn't have any money to pay for my studies so I applied for a student loan, which had to be paid three to six months after I was done with college. considering I would be working by then. I couldn't find a job in that period not because I didn't have the qualification, no. And definitely not because they were were not hiring. I couldn't get a job because I didn't know anyone and No one knew me. You know how it works Mr Heandrason its about who you know in this circle, and unfortunately I knew no one.

To avoid lawsuits, I made a deal with some very bad guys, I took an illegal loan from the Mexican Mafia, his brother was my Father's Friend so it was easy for him to loan me that much money, I promised him that as soon as I got a job I would start paying him."

I paused once more for my drink then continued. Mr Heandrason didn't seem to get shocked anymore.

two glasses down one left, m.m I need more "excuse me hey," I said waving my hand at the waiter who was close by,

"Yes Ma'am," he said
"Can I get more of this, four glasses if you will"
I saw Mr Heandrason bury his face into his hand. Probably from the shame, but I didn't care.

"Like before, I continued. I failed to find a job, even domestic work, nothing was available because I was a nobody Mr Heandrason. I said finishing up what was left in the glass and eating the olives.

" The man got impatient with me then he began tormenting me, visiting me, threatening me, leaving messages for me and leaving his men to have their way with me," a tear fell down my face I immediately wiped it and drank some more, I saw Mr Heandrason s fist clench over the table then his hand went back to its Normal position.

I guess anyone can be mad.

"Then last night one of his men came to see me, and by see me I mean see me. I don't think there is anything he didn't see, he is the one who gave me this cut. And yeah that's it, Story of my life" I said grabbing another glass.

The was silence for a very long time, we just sat there Mr Heandrason looking at me in pity, and I drowning myself in liquor.

"Shall we eat?" He said breaking the silence.

"You go ahead I told him, I am fine"
