Burning Passion(ONGOING)

14. DARKNESS

SIENNA'S POV :

I stifled a yawn as I took another sip of my coffee trying to open my eyes. And also silently cursing that devil for giving me so much work that even after working till 11:30 yesterday I still have more than half of the work. But the most horrific thing was that Tristan stayed there even after 11:30 and he was as fresh as a perfume today. How in the freaking hell did he manage all his different businesses that too of all over the world.

After looking at his way one thing I've known is that every work he does is very neat and focused and clear and he even checks the data from time to time so that nobody tries to hamper. All in all obviously there's a reason about his company standing undefeated and in the number one position. He as always came at seven today and since then he has drank two cups of coffee and well me, three.

I occupied the couch like everyday and then continued reading through the boring file when there was a sudden knock at the door which was by the way not stopping. He shouted a usual 'come in'.

As soon as he responded Melissa entered as if a wind a swept in.

"Xavier Xavier Xavier I have a great news." She was beaming and making her way towards his chair.

"What?" He replied dryly but not like he talks rudely with me. He was actually soft. Something in me burned looking at them. How were they behaving so naturally in front of each other? Well, I didn't get a time to ponder over it anymore.

"You've been given the title of the 'Sexiest Business Man in America' and 'Most Eligible Bachelor' for consecutive three years. I couldn't help but smile at this. But the man of importance itself was not at all excited. All what he said was, "Nothing new."

Bullshit. I know internally he must be happy though his didn't give it away. It's basic feelings. Who wouldn't be happy to now that he's the most eligible one?

Anyways this man goes above my head. but, what I'm seeing right now is definitely going through my head that too in a bad way. Melissa now was hugging Tristan tightly and the shocking part was that he returned the hug and placed his hands on her waist and the corners of his mouth were also a bit up. And now, I definitely didn't know the reason why he was smiling.

I could feel the storm in my heart coming and take over my brain. It was as if rage consumed me and hands immediately started clenching into fists as my eyes widened. This happens every time I get angry. When I bring food for him he throws it on the floor and then talks so rudely with me and now when an employee of his is coming and hugging him then there's no problem in hugging her back. I know Melissa is my friend and that is why I won't ever blame her. And truth to be told, she's not the one to be blamed. It's not the fault that Tristan behaved so badly with me. It was not her fault that I was burning with rage and jealously now. She was close to him and I was not. That's the truth. And I have no right over the either of them. But, I would surely support my friend.

How much ever, I get angry I won't take it out on her.

I continued glaring at him and after a few moments I was so angry that I refused to look anymore. I can't bear to see him hugging someone. I turned so fast without watching that I dropped a file on the floor. I picked it up and straight made my way out of the office. I tried to breathe and stop myself from barging inside and do something I'll regret. But a small part of my mind was weeping.

Does he really like Melissa?

I can't stop him from liking someone. That too, a beautiful and good girl like Melissa. I closed my eyes and took a long breath. I knocked on the door and received the faint 'come in'.

As soon as I entered,

"Where did you go?"

"Why should I say you?"

"Because I'm the boss and you want to save your job."

"I had some important call."

"Couldn't you ask and go? Barging out of my office with such disrespect is not acceptable." He said with so much power and dominance that I shrinked back.

"I didn't want to interrupt in your intimate moment." I said pressing more on intimate. To which he raised a perfect eyebrow.

"Guess what? Bring me another cup of coffee." And then in front of me pushed his finished cup of coffee from the table and some of the left contents spilled on the floor.

"Do not forget to clean it, too." He said emphasizing every word.

I closed my eyes in irritation. This bloody cocky bastard.

I calmed myself down and after cleaning the floor and being humiliated just like yesterday I went to the pantry to make him coffee. And that's where I decided to take revenge. I made the coffee ten times more bitter than he drinks every time. And there I brought that coffee to him internally smiling and imagining his face on drinking the coffee. One could practically see the smirk on my face.

"Sir, your coffee."

"Ms. Davis I'm in no mood anymore. So you'd rather drink it." And that successfully wiped the smirk off my face and brought one on his. Like? What the hell? How the hell did he know?

"I don't want to drink coffee." I shook my head wildly now imagining my own face after drinking it.

"You have to drink it. Because first of all we shouldn't waste it. And since it's a direct order from me you have to take at least four sips." My eyes widened more. Four sips. Does he want to kill me of bitterness? Help me someone.

"Waiting. Do fast."

I picked the coffee fast and I brought it to my lips ready to take the first sip. I took the first sip and as the bitter taste of the liquid hit my tongue. I shouted, "Yuck." And like the clumsy person I am I moved my hands too much and some coffee fell on his shirt. My eyes immediately turned into saucers as his turned into fire.

"I am so sorry, sir." I grabbed a tissue and started cleaning his shirt in the shoulder area. Hw jerked his hands in anger and the look that he gave me made me go a few steps back in fear. He cornered me against the wall in a swift second and grabbed my wrists in a painful grip behind my back making me arch my body in pain.

"Can't you any work nicely? Are you that useless?" And with that he pushed me so badly that I fell on the floor. My eyes filled with tears as I looked at him looking at me like I was a piece of shit. I rested my head on the wall as a sharp pain shooted through my back because of landing so hardly on the floor.

"Mel!" He shouted angrily. She came in a blur and saw him.

"I'll bring a shirt." She said and ran to get one. She didn't even have to be said. After a minute she came running again.

"Take the shirt and give me that one. I'll try to take the stain off." She said her hands now on his collar and on the stain. I laid there looking at the both of them looking they were in their own world oblivious to me.I felt useless and inferior and like a third wheel. I closed my eyes as a tear escaped from my eye. And then it all turned black.
