Vengeance Is Beautiful

Chapter Eleven

(A/N) Hey, sorry I haven't been able to publish new chapters sooner, I'm literally writing this at work! Anyway, my creative juices are flowing so watch out for some romance-drama and a drip of comedy! :D

I decided to wear my grey silk sleeveless top and black dress pants with black heels. I neatly tied my hair up leaving some down in the back and neutral make-up.

I throw on my black blazer and - get my bag before heading out.

It's my first day here at PayTech and everyone is busy bustling to and fro in the medium sized threshold.

The receptionist walks to me and leads me to my office.

"Well since you already have so much experience in Data Entry, Mr. Garcia thought it was only fair that you got your own office", she says leading me into the small office.

"Any questions?"

I turn and smile stiffly at her, "No, thanks". She nods then turns to walk out, closing the door behind her.

I take a few deep breaths before sitting on the chair and processing my excitement. After a few minutes I get a soft knock on the door.

A tall, blue-eyed man with a low beard waltz in smiling widely at me. He seems like the typical white collar who used to be a jock in high school.

"Good Morning, I'm Charlie Vega. I was asked to hand you these files to enter into the system"

He walks right over to me and places the files on my desk, "Nice to meet you, I'm Catalina". He shakes my hand and the touch lingers a little longer than usual.

I clear my throat and scan through the files.

"I'll see you around, Cat", he says trying to sound funny. A sheepish smile on his face.
"Don't call me that."

His face falls quickly and he nods, "Yeah-right, sorry. I'm-you know what it's- uh....I'll go now", he says heading out and closing the door behind him.

I chuckle, shaking my head before starting work.

At lunchtime.

I take up my purse, take off my jacket and head out to the exit and head over to a nearby cafe. I order a subway and a fruit drink.

"Are you following me?"

I recognize that voice. I slowly turn and see the same guy sitting by the bar alone. I take my food and settle by the bar.

"No, this is the only best cafe nearby so"

"Finally, someone agrees with me".

I shrug and take a bite. He does the same and continues conversation. We continue conversation and I realize he's not as bad as he seemed.

He even made me laugh at one of his stupid jokes. "I don't believe Mr. Garcia did that at the office"

"Yeah, you'll be surprised what else he does at the office", he chuckles.

I feel my phone vibrating.

Lino.

I begin to press answer, but decide against it. Turning back to Charlie.

After work, I head up to my apartment and unlock my door. I turn on the lights and almost jump when I see the man standing by the window.

"What are you-"

"Who's Charlie Vega? Is he harassing you? You need me to take care of him?"

I widen my eyes at his angry but calm state. "Charlie is my co-worker and how did you know about that?"
