Heartless Kitten

In the meeting room, Lucian sat at the head of the table listening to a report about the project that his company started and by the look in his face, he was not happy.

The manager and his assistant manager stood at the side breaking out in cold sweat as they saw the unhappy look on their boss face, the stood at the side waiting for instructions morelike waiting for their punishment. The office was quiet except for the rustling of a paper, with anger, Lucian flunged the paper towards the direction of the manager and his assistant manager, the paper hit the manager directly on the forehead which created a red mark on it

"Again", Lucian said in anger.

The manager and his assistant manager ran out with their tails ticked between their legs. Outside the office, the staff members gathered around the managers asking them questions,

"So how did it go, did he agree", a man asked in scared tone and seeing the look on their faces he got his answer.

"Ah, the boss has been in a bad mood for the past few days, do you know why", another colleague said.

Everyone shocked their heads indicating their answer, there was a moment of silence before someone spoke up,

"Wait a second, who is next?"

At this question, everyone looked at a certain direction, a woman stood silently at the corner with her hands filled with files with a gentle smile on her face she said,

"I guess it's my turn does anyone have a file that they have to submit to boss" ,

It was as if they are looking at their guardian angel, immediately the woman's hands were stuffed to the brim and an assistant pleaded with her to take the coffee which the woman agreed. The woman's named is Judith, a PR director in the company, she was famous for her work and was held in a high regards by Lucian.

Judith knocked on the door,b

"Come in", a hoarse voice that gave Judith blush beet red called out.

Judith pushed the door and stood there in a daze as the man sat behind the desk like a god, he was turning the paper with long defined fingers that it was like as if his veins was moving, it made him look more masculine, Judith felt her face grow hot just by looking at him.

"What are standing there for?"

Judith came back to her senses, she walked towards Lucian and dropped the files beside him and she gave Lucian the cup the coffee,

"Drop it beside the files"

"Anything else, sir"

"No, you can leave"

"Yes" Judith bowed and was about to leave when something caught her sight, to confirm what she saw she moved close to Lucian and pointed out a mistake,

" Boss, I think there is a mistake here, the numbers do not add up"

"Really, show me"

"Here", Judith pointed at a number, Lucian took a look at it and saw that the numbers really don't add up. On normal days, something like this usually don't escape his eyes but for these past few days he has been angry at a certain little girl, since she went for her business meeting, she hasn't called or texted. He took her number from Anna just two days ago and texted her but it's like as if she didn't see the message, she hasn't texted him back and he was becoming anxious, the anger that he has been holding for a long time seemed to explode so he poured all the emotions in his work.

He hasn't been able to sleep for the past few days, he feel that the insomnia he has is becoming worse, it looks like I need to change the medication, again. He sighed as he thought about the girl that has been in mind since and how she hasn't been answering his texts, heartless little kitty.

"Boss, there is another mistake, here", Judith pointed at the bottom left of the paper, because of that Lucian had to lean in to see it.

At Judith reminder he indeed started noticing the mistakes that filled the paper, he furrowed his brows, this little ants are taking advantage of my bad mood to make a move.

Lucian focused on the document beside him, so he did not notice the abnormal movement of his PR manager. Judith couldn't help but lean close to Lucian knowing full well that this maybe her last chance to prove her worth to him. Since she was bending down, she noticed the muscles of Lucian's neck most especially his adam's apple that seems to moving on it's own, at this moment Judith began to imagine what would happen when he is doing that.

The movement on Lucian's adam's apple wasn't moving on it's own it was because of the fact that he was angry that automatically the muscles in his neck moved.

Judith being sharp eyed, noticed another error with furrowed brows and pointed it out for Lucian, what's wrong with this report, why are there so many mistakes, is this person trying to get himself killed. Judith was explaining the error to the boss, the two of them were closed to each other that if Lucian turned his head he would see Judith's cleavage. Their position was ambiguous but the two of them seemed like they didn't notice anything.

Until, the door in the office opened with a bang, started Lucian and Judith glanced at the door.
