💥 05 💥

🏵️ Elle 🏵️

I hugged my pillow tightly, thinking about today's events. How dare he call me a 'weak woman?

I always hated being called weak. Yes he hit the nerve. But I proved him that I'm not weak.

I didn't had my lunch today.

That was a stupid move. I starved myself because of him. I'm stupid ugh.

Then my mind wondered back to that interesting event that happened in the morning.

Aubrey was whispering Enzo's name in a way i don't like.

Now why am I so sad about this? Do I still have feelings for him? "It's just a damn crush! You'll get over it!"

I stared into a blank space. Why doesn't he realise Aubrey is just a rich pretty kid with no brain? I bet he is not even aware of the fact that she bullied me in my teenage years.

Yeah she'll always be a good person in his eyes. Tears pricked my eyes but I blinked them away. Enzo, along with my mood swings due to periods, was a headache!

With these thoughts I lied down on the bed falling in a deep slumber.

It's been 2 months I have been working in William Groups and my experience here is so far good.

Mine and Enzo's relationship is... the same?

Yeah it is. But he tends to call me once a week to ask me about my days.

That's one thing I appreciate about him. He cares about his employees.

I placed the coffee on his table and quickly went through his schedule on my phone. Then I heard the door open.

"Good Morning sir."

I picked a tie fixing it around his collar as usual. I am still not used to this.

These days he stares at me so intensely. I am so close to hiding my face in a corner.

Have I started looking more pretty or something ?

"The Johnson team is going to visit our building today at 10am.

We have a deal to make with them. I hope you remember it."

"Yes Miss Miller, I'm well aware. Thanks for the reminder."

I pulled away.

"That's it for today. Ill get going." "Listen, it's okay you if don't accompany me today. I'll do it alone." He said.

My ears perked up at his words. Good for me Iguess. I can eat lunch without any rush.

"Okay sir."

Soon it was lunch time. I think he was done with the meeting.

I badly wanted to ask him how it went but I just fight the urge and went to the cafeteria.

I settled down on a table shoving a strawberry in my mouth while scrolling through twitter.

I didn't cook today so instead brought some fruits.

I switched off my mobile deciding to finally focus on my lunch.'

"Excuse me?"

I looked at the source of the voice.

"May I sit here?" I nodded keeping away my phone.

"You're Mr William's PA right?'

"Yeah.."

"Is it hard to work under him?" He asked randomly as he pulled the chair to sit.

"Not really."

The guy in front of me unwrapped his sandwich starting to eat it.

"Actually I saw that you spend your lunch alone since day one so.. Today I finally got the balls to actually sit next to you. I hope you don't mind that?"

"Of course not"

I replied to him with a warm smile. Now this is what I'm talking about. People think I'm uninterested in them when it's not actually the case.

"Did Mr William had a PA before me?"

He stopped munching on his sandwich and leaned in.

"Yeah, she left a month before you joined." He whispered and continued.

"Not left but boss fired her. She was lazy."

"Oh... Did he-Mr William did all the work alone during that month? No one here to help him?"

"Yeah he was working all alone. The meetings and all. Then he finally started looking for a PA when he realised he couldn't do stuff all alone."

I nodded in understanding.

"I see. " "Oh I'm so stupid! I didn't introduce myself, I am Liam Blackwell."

He flashed me a bright smile. He was indeed handsome.

"Elle Miller."

I smiled politely.

"Let's be friends then? Sounds good?" "Of course Liam."

"Great. I'll get going now Elle. Bye-bye!"

He rushed towards the exit. I looked at the time shocked. It was past lunch time.

I better get going. I don't want some whooping later!

.... some minutes later.....

I waited for him to finish his coffee. I wanted to ask him about yesterday's meeting.

"You wanna say something?"

I nodded.

"How was yesterday's meeting?" "Ah it went well. Actually I want to talk to you about it. Please have a seat."

I sat on the chair, feeling slightly impatient.

"I'm going to hand over this project to you.

You'll have to look for the perfect employees and work with them. I'll let you know the deadline soon."

My lips parted at his decision. He is choosing me out of all the experienced people out here?

Well okay I won't disappoint him.

"Alright, sir." "Your group must not consist more than 4 people. I hope you learn something new from this project."

"Yes I will. Thank you so much." I smiled at him.

"I'll e-mail you the details."

With that I left his office and went through my emails. I found the details and started working on them. Soon it was lunch time.

I walked to my regular seat at the cafeteria and saW Liam waving at me.

"Hey Liam.."

"Hey Elle I saved you a seat."

"Thank you."

I was honestly not expecting him to sit with me but I appreciate it.

"Liam, would you like to work with me for a project?"

"Oh.."

He gulped. Was he not ready?

"Ofcourse! It's an honor to be invited by you, how can I decline?"

"Really? Thank you Liam!"

I smiled at him sweetly. Oh lord, I was so happy now I need to look for 2 more people.

"Can you help me look for a genius working in your department?"

I asked him. Maybe he could help me find someone.

"Err yeah..I don't know him so well but his name is Tristan."

"Oh.. what floor does he work on?"

"40th."

He said.

"Okay then I'll meet Tristan. Ill ask him if he wants to join us."

"How many people do you need?" "Four is enough." He nodded.

We finished our lunch bid our goodbyes.

**************************************************

🩸 Enzo 🩸

She seemed quite happy today. After telling me my schedule for today she left my office.

Honestly Elle looks prettier each day. I can't help but stare at her.

Every Time she fixes my tie I find myself complimenting her perfect eyes and nose.

I wonder if she's still single. She used to reject all the guys in the past.

There are chances of her still being single but who would leave such a pretty woman alone? I cannot even focus on work thanks to her.

It was time for me to attend another meeting but before I could step out Aubrey walked in.

She barged in the cabin as if it was her room and pushed me up against the wall.

"I hate Elle so much! She is out there flirting with Liam."

She spoke with rage.

I frowned.

Elle is not the type to flirt.

Hearing this made me so angry not gonna lie but who is she to me? She isn't my lover.

"What?"

"That bitch is a hoe! Liam didn't sit for lunch with me!"

"It's his choice!"

"But-" "You always seem to have a problem with Elle."

I pointed out.

"Elle is two faced! You don't know her yet! She is so arrogant! Look! She stole you from me.

We used to be so happy together back in those days.. we can still be."

Her voice lowered as she whispered. I almost melted into her touch. But I knew well Aubrey was not a good person.

I really need to stop giving her so much freedom in the office.

"Go back to work instead of talking nonsense."

I raised my voice at her.

She left the room with anger.

First she hooks up with me and then she flirts with Liam. But then she blames Elle? Stupid Woman.

I walked towards my car pissed off to see Elle already waiting for me.

I drove to our destination without speaking a word.

"Get me a coffee." She got out of the car as I did the same. I waited for her to come.

"Ah!"

I yelped in pain when my hand came in contact with something very hot.

"Shit!"

I looked at the person and it was Elle! How the fuck can someone be so careless? I was already mad and now this?!

"Elle what the hell? Why- ahh it burns!"

She quickly pulled out a tissue while mumbling 'sorrys'. She started wiping my hand as her lips quivered in fear.

My gaze hardened.I glared at her.

"I a-am sorry sir. I was on a phone call and I lost my balance-"

"Stupid! This is stupidity! How the fuck are you so careless?"

I yelled at her.

Soon my hand was clean but it still burned.

Elle's hands were shaking and i realised i was too harsh with her.

While in the meeting Elle stared at me in concern. Her eyes looked almost teary.

Why would she cry when I'm the one who's hurt?

I ordered lunch for us but Elle refused to have any. She didn't meet her eyes with me.

So she commits a mistake, then she refuses to eat anything, is that how she's going to act now? Where's the professionalism from her side?

After the meeting ended I was back in my car.

Elle sat in the passenger seat quietly.

"I am sorry. I will never do that again."

I didn't spare her a glance and just ignored her.
