Furious Like Hell

My eyes popped out when I heard the chilling voice of Mr. Angry Boss guy. I felt a wave of shiver running down my whole body. Every hair on my body stood up as if charged with a static force. I gulped down in panic.

He held my gaze for a moment longer and narrowed his eyes asking, “Ms. Blossom. Can I have a word with you?” Everybody gasped at his words. What’s with people and gasping when it comes to us huh? I nodded my head slowly and looked at Mr. Joshua for help.

I silently pleaded him; but he looked powerless in the situation. I looked down at my hands and heaved a desperate sigh for escape. I was capable of defending myself, I chanted in my head. As if I had a chance to defend myself in front of Mr. Devil.

So instead of embarrassing myself even more, I stood up and threw an irritated glance towards Mr. Boss there. Mr. Joshua gave me a half smile. I gathered courage and faced Aiden’s stern face and cold glare. I cleared my throat and apologized, “I am sorry Mr. Knight. What I did was wrong and-” Yup, he had to cut me off.

“Do you have any idea about how much of our time got wasted because of you Ms. Blossom?” Aiden asked me in one of his deathly cold tones. What did he expect me to say? I am sorry to sleep in your fucking conference which led to nothing but made people dizzy?

I stared at him in disbelief and blurted out the next question unwillingly, “Excuse me. Did you just expect us to sit for hours on our butts?” Everybody gasped and stared at us. Some even started murmuring. But my eyes were trained on the Icy Gray once. I was angry but I couldn’t ignore the flexes of Black dancing in those irises though.

It seems like he was fighting something, not letting it surface. And then all of a sudden he stood up in the middle of the Conference, fixing his blazer. He muttered the next thing very clearly and oh so loudly, “Haley, please schedule this in the next week as Ms. Blossom had ruined it. She will be presenting her designs for the next five floors in the next meeting."

My jaw hung open but I quickly had to regain my posture. How in hell was supposed to make the designs that fast? My mind was cursing the to be CEO infront of me while my eyes were shooting deadly daggers at him. Nodding towards the crowd he dismissed us, "That will be all everyone.”

He shot one last glance at me and turned on his heels, muttering something under his breath. Everyone in the room was giving me weird looks. Some were shocked and others were angry because time got wasted. Oh hello! I got everyone ‘The Break’ they deserved. How could they just be so ungrateful?

I rolled my eyes and wrapped my things up. After a while when everyone was out of earshot, Haley came to me and whispered in my ears. “He wants to see you in his cabin, now!” And she took off to talk to the other board members.

What the hell he might want to discuss with me right now? Glo! You ruined his plans. You are the reason he had to wrap up so fast!!. My subconscious started making sense. But I did not want to be the Bad Guy here. Because of him, now people thought it was my fault!

Oh Lord I wish to give him the finger so bad!! I mean who wouldn’t? But it was better to get reprimanded in a cabin than a Conference filled with two dozens of business freaks. Not wanting to get late, I hurriedly got inside the elevator and pressed for the top floor.

I did not want the meeting to end like this. I mean it was my first and I wanted to get more idea about the budget and what kind of people we were expecting in that area. Oooohh, I wish I hadn’t slept in that meeting. Now I have to see that ugly face once more for the day.

I stomped my leg on the elevator floor. Thank god it did not stop at the other floors. Seem like everyone was already at the Cafe. I reached the top floor and got greeted by a gorgeous looking but absolutely pissed Brittany. I greeted her good afternoon and told her that Mr. Knight asked for me.

She looked at me as if she would claw me at that instant. “May I know the reason?” Raising an eyebrow, she almost hissed under her breath. I looked at her longer than usual and then replied with a fake smile, “Ah, just some usual work related stuff.”

She paused for a moment and assessed my face. But by the looks on her face she did not look convinced. “He doesn’t want to see anybody.” She replied with venom in her voice evident. What? Did she not trust what I said previously?

“But Haley told me that he was looking for me.” I urged her. But, instead of letting me go, she picked up her desk phone and dialed someone’s number. “Hello Mr. Knight.” She continued in her sultry voice, “Here’s some girl standing at the waiting area. Should I tell her to leave?”

She then hung up and making eye contact, she adjusted her blouse and muttered, “He said he is not in the mood to entertain people right now. So you must leave my darling.”Venom was evident in her voice. “Bu-b-but-”

She gathered some files and walked down the passage which led to the large wooden doors. I didn’t get the fact that why she had to go after a man who won’t even throw a single glance at her. I mean, he was way far away from her reach. And even if they start seeing each other, that shouldn’t bother me right? Ha! No kidding, why would it? Psshht, silly me.

I shrugged my shoulders and got past Brittany’s desk. After entering the elevator, I texted Lucy and informed her to wait for me. What was wrong with that guy? Why the hell did Haley told me that he wanted to see me? Something doesn’t add up. Shrugging my shoulders I kept thinking about the food I could have.

My stomach rumbled indicating my hunger. The employees standing ahead of me in the elevator looked back at me; now that was embarrassing. I face palmed myself mentally. Screw my stomach.

I would have had lunch by this time. Screw you Mr. Grumpy Pants. Cursing him in my mind I reached the Cafeteria and started looking for our usual table. Seeing those two familiar heads made me forget about my previous encounters with the two ugliest peoples on Mother Earth.

I sat across Jordan and apologized for being late. Both of them started roasting me for it but I couldn’t tell them what happened earlier. We made plans for the weekend and left for our respective floors.

As always, Jordan accompanied me till 20th floor. We were discussing about having lunch at the new restaurant opened across the street. After he got down at his floor, I saw someone enter the lift from the corner of my eyes and the doors closed.

I was looking down at my phone when I heard somebody clear their throat. My eyes became the size of a soccer ball when I saw the face which I wish I could have ignored. But poor me. Icy Gray ones bored in to mine. All I could decipher from looks of him that he was furious! Like hell!!
