BRIANA

I strutted into his office hands behind my back. I didn't know what he was going to say but given the pissed-off face he had, I knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant talk.

I shut the for behind me as I stood at a safe distance waiting for him to say something.

The man who looked pissed off in the corridor was no longer the man that I was standing in front of. He looked like a different man.

I moved closer to his desk so that I could inspect his face but there was nothing. No emotions on his face like he was void.

"You wanted to talk to me or just stare at me?", I asked him as I dropped my hands to the side.

He looked at me as his jaw ticked and he cracked his knuckles. Was I in trouble?

"Now I don't think that is how you talk to your boss is it?", he asked me as he closed the documents that were on his desk.

He has to be kidding me. Was there anyone who was watching us that he thought he had to keep the act of not being my husband?

I loomed around the room and just as I had thought initially it was just the two of us.

"Are you fucking kidding me, boss?", I asked him as I sat on the chair which he didn't seem to take lightly.

"I don't remember telling you to sit down", he said and somehow my feet lifted and I was up on my best again.

"I don't think that is the way you are supposed to talk to your coworkers. He could file something against you and given that everyone saw your outburst you won't be able to get out of it", he said his eyes still looking me up and down.

"I don't think he will do anything like that, I just told him to leave me alone nothing serious", I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Don't think he will do it is he your boyfriend now?", he asked me and I waited for something to cross his face but nothing.

I waited to see how jealous he would get but there was nothing he was just an emotionless prick.

"Why are you asking, you care now?", I asked him chuckling.

"Not really but I think there are work rules that people who work together can't have a relationship", he said chuckling.

"Is that real or did you make it up just now?", I asked him scoffing.

"Mrs. Anna if you had bothered to go through the rules then you would have known this don't you think?", he asked.

"Yeah well, my first day wasn't one where I was supposed to know a lot of this on the company since I had a million files on my desk that we're waiting to be filled", I said sarcastically.

"Well sorry if the burden was too much but if I remember well that is your job here. Did you think I was going to throw a welcoming party for you?", he asked me and I felt like the world was spinning.

"Well and people still wonder why wives kill their husbands", I blurted out.

"What did you say?", he asked as he stood up.

"Nothings that woman doing in here?", I asked.

"What woman am sorry I have lost count given all the women that come into my office", he said smirking.

Smart bastard.

"The one you were with just some minutes ago you really can't have forgotten about her the last time I checked she was carrying your child", I said smiling.

"Oh yeah, that one. I don't think in the list of things you are supposed to do asking about my personal life is one of the tasks is it now?", he asked.

"Am your wife did you forget about that too", I said.

"Unfortunately no I haven't even if I want to forget it so badly", he said.

"I don't get you sometimes what is wrong with you is it like there is something wrong with you where you snap and hate me?", I asked him.

"Not I just don't like you and other people too so that'd is the thing", he said.

"What did I ever do to you?", I asked him.

"Now Ana you see emotions are very useless things. We need them but we can leave without them. Try not to need them so much", he said.

"Wow, maybe I should have never asked you to come work here", I said smacking my lips.

"Well, it's not like you're doing what you are supposed to do right now. Get back to work and I need my coffee", he said as he went back to his work leaving me standing in the middle of his office like a beggar.

"Anything else you want with your coffee, sir?", I asked him.

"Yeah I need you to go down the street to the coffee shop there and bring me some cupcakes and then send them to Briana I reckon they were the ones she used to love", he said and went back to his work.

"Am sorry who is Briana?", I asked him confused.

"The lady who I was with, now if you would excuse me I have work to do", he said and didn't look down probably because he was waiting for me to leave the room which I did.

I was pissed and everyone could see it as no one tried to talk to me as I left the office. The women who loved to gossip were standing at my desk waiting for me probably waiting to know if I had been fired and at this point, even I would love to be fired.

I took a sit behind my desk and waited for them to leave. As they saw me taking my purse smiles lit up on their faces.

"We are so sorry you didn't last that long", they all said in unison.

Funny they felt sorry for me when they were smiling.

"I still have a job", I said leaving them with their mouths hanging open.

"What is wrong with him?", I could hear one of them ask as I walked away.

Sometimes I felt like I could take Vincenzo to the woods tie him up and leave him there but only after setting the woods on fire.
