Broken Aphrodite

Chapter 12

Eva~

Don't shake Eva, don't shake. I keep repeating with myself, as i sit down .
his eyes are burning into mine and his breath is the only thing i can hear, probably my heart beats too. 

I can feel the heat rise from my chest, neck and to my face. "Fist of all.. for once do as you're told without fucking arguing " I've never heard him swear, crap. 

"Second!! You need to stop this smoking shit! You're young and you're just killing yourself with these" he grabs my cigarettes pack and clutches it in his large hand. 

I start to protest but he glares at me, making me close my mouth. "And for Erick Nittson, you're an adult just keep your emotions outside of here ,this is work and you need to be professional and ignore who he is, It's not like anything will happen to you when he's here" his voice gets calmer each word, i shake my head, he will never understand, i stand up and push him aside to walk away from his proximity. 

"I don't want him and i don't need to explain to you my excuses because you'll never understand.. like you didn't right now, it has nothing to do with being an adult, it's... " i trail off, he's cold and emotionless, he'll just never get it.

"I am not in the mood to argue with spoiled emotional little girl! You're going to ruin the company because you know nothing!" He yells again and walks close to me, 
i gape at him, how could he talk to me like that! .

"You have got to be shitting me!" I yell raising both hands in the air in an exasperated expression "what are you?!... You asshole, I'm your partner and you should respect me, you know nothing about me!.. you're just so complicated and i hate how you treat me! Why!! Just why father agreed to work with son of a bitch like you!? you seriously need help!! " i yell and i feel like the room is airless. I try to breathe deeply. 

He raises his forefinger and points it at me "watch your language!." his phone rings and he gets it out of his pocket "This is not over alright!? " he yells and then walks out of the room slamming it behind him. 

I walk back into my chair and slump down, i watch my language and he calls me names hah, twisted asshole. 

I don't know how to prove to him that I'm not like he thinks i am. And to think about it ..the way he called me names makes me be the way i am, i don't have to prove myself to anyone, I know who and what i am.

Through the whole day his words were echoing in my head Every three minutes, i couldn't focus on work. 

Lisa told me that some of the co_workers were outside my office when he was here, they kept standing until Lisa told them to screw away in a nice way. I burry my face in my hands , it's been a long day and i feel like I'm coked, spoiled emotional little girl. The words echo again and i close my eyes tightl . 

I'm alone and everyone has left, i just thought that i need to finish something before i go home. so i stayed . You're going to ruin the company you know nothing . Those words sting like shit, i don't even have any cigarettes , he crushed them.

I can't bear him.. i try to forget but i can't, am i really going to ruin the company? Just because this marketing position? . 

I don't know what to do. my phone rings and it's my dad ..i take a breath and answer 
"papa" i say 

"darling how are you ? " 
"i'm fine papa , everything is okay ? " i ask with concern ..he never calls me when i'm at work .

"yeah just called to tell you that i'm at the hospital for some checking ..so i won't be home when you get there " he says quietly .
