AMETHYST

This annoying idiot! He is playing with my patience, slowly baiting me and waiting for me to snap. I know this game, I win anytime I play it and today is definitely not a day to lose.

His attention has been focused on his desktop ever since as he types furiously into his keyboard, creasing marks like Wi-Fi signs are seen on his forehead. I chuckle at the funny Wi-Fi joke, earning a glare from him. I thought he was so engrossed in his work and forgot I even sat there.

I watch as the time on my phone continues running till it is 1pm, Lunch break. My phone beeps and I look at it to see a message from Maya.

How is working with my brother?

Annoying as ever. He hasn't even assigned any task to me. I text back.

😂You'll get used to him. He's amazing too, just ignore his 'annoying side'. Her next message states.

It's even lunch time. Do you have any idea if there's a cafetaria here I could eat from? I ask her.

Of course, dummy🤦‍♀️. Ask for directions. It's mostly snacks, cereals and drinks. If you want food, there are some restaurants you could check out just outside the building by your right. She replies.

Thanks ❤

Anytime. Enjoy your first day, sis in law😉. Don't do anything nasty💩

Seriously? Poo emoji?

You love me like that. Antio (bye).

"Amethyst." I hear him call from where he sat. I halt in my steps and turn back to meet his gaze.

"Your training for today begins after your lunch break." He states firmly.

"Rule number 1, never eat alone. Rule number 2, never be caught frowning." Someone says behind me and in a flash, a blonde haired beauty sits on the empty seat in front of me.

"Hi, I am Lauren." She smiles at me, seems I am about to make my first friend here.

"Amethyst." I send a tight-liped smile, back to her.

"I know you." She chuckles. "You are the CEOs wife. You are so lucky, alot of ladies would kill to be you, you know." She gives me a playful tap on my shoulders, winking at the statement. If only I knew what she meant.

"Did I just hit a nerve?" As if noticing my sullen expression, she says.

"It's nothing, really." I reassure her, more of reassuring myself. It is exhausting fighting with him but it is better than being in the position he places other ladies.

"In time, you will loosen up. Smile, you'll look prettier." I find myself smiling back at this stranger whose name happens to be Lauren.

"You see those ladies; Mandy and Jane. They are the office gossipmill CEO and COO. With them, one has to be very careful." She states after some time of us getting to know each other.

"Haha. Thanks for the warning. Oops, break is over. See you another time." I scurry off to Nick's office. My hand touches the door knob and I remember the incident earlier on.

Knock!Knock!

"Come in." He says with that his oh so sexy voice that I secretly swoon over.

"Hope you hve stocked up well. It is time for your training." He states.
