CHAPTER 3- A living hell

Amelia POV

The next day I woke up early to get to the office early. I took my bath, prepare breakfast, and by 7:00 am I was done with everything. I wrote a note for my mother and stick it on the fridge. She was sound asleep and I didn't want to wake her up.

I'm off to work, you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you. I'll be back before you know it. I made breakfast so eat and have a lovely day

Your daughter Amelia.

I walked out of the house into the street and called for a taxi.

"Taxi! " I shouted and the taxi stopped. I entered and the driver asks where I was heading to.

"Where to ma'am? " the driver asked.

"Blackstone company " I replied and the driver nodded. I looked through the window screen and saw people rushing into the street. Everyone was walking fast like they were late and I checked my time to make sure I wasn't late. Thank God I still have some time, just then my phone beeped and a message popped in.

Who could be texting me? I read the message and I knew who had sent the message.

"hey get me a coffee on your way to the office, I want it black with no sugar ".

I read the message all over again and feel like screaming but I couldn't, the driver will think I am crazy. Even his message was typed arrogantly and how did he get my number?

I stopped the taxi at a coffee shop a few blocks from the company, pay the driver, and entered the cafe. There was a long queue and I knew I was going to be late. After an eternity it finally got to my turn, I took the coffee and ran like a madwoman in the street. When I got to the office, I met the receptionist applying make-up again, she looked up and smirked at me.

"Looks like someone is late and getting fired" she laughed. I gave her no reply and enter the elevator. I press the 35th floor and sighed. I looked at my clothes and styled my hair into a ponytail, I exhaled and walked out of the elevator as I reached the 35th floor. I knocked on my boss's door and I entered.

"Good morning sir, here is your coffee "I quaked but he didn't acknowledge me and didn't look up from his computer. I cleared my throat to gain attention and finally, he looked up and stared at me from my head down to my toes. the look he gave me made me feel naked.

"Are you gonna stand there like a fool or you gonna drop the coffee. ? And what the fuck are you wearing? " he demanded and I look at my outfit.

"Clothes, that is what am wearing"I replied and he raised his brow. I had no idea why he had an issue with the plain black gown I was wearing.

"Oh I thought it was nylon," he said sarcastically. "This is a company Amelia, you are late a very bad impression on your first day "

"Am sorry sir but you sent a message while I was already on my way to the office".

"Oh you mean I can't give orders anymore" he snapped.

"No sir, am just--i-i never mind. "I stuttered and didn't speak after.

"Give me my coffee" he ordered and I handed it over to him. He placed it on his nose and sniffed. What the hell? He thinks I was going to poison him. "It not poisoned sir" I stated.

He didn't reply and drank the coffee, he spit out the coffee and I wondered why.

"What the fuck Amelia, this coffee is bitter and cold" he yelled and drop the coffee on his table. "Get me another coffee Amelia" he ordered.

"Sir i- sorry sir I'll do that right away "I pleaded and walk out of the office slamming the door on my way out.

I returned a few minutes later with a hot and better coffee. He drank it without complaining and I sighed in relief.
