Chapter 5 - First Day Of Work Harlequinn's POV

I was in the most beautiful dream when I was abruptly awakened. "Wake up sleepy head, it's your first day of work. You wouldn't wanna be late." A voice said while a hand tapped me gently.

I yawned softly and got up from bed,it was Kira. "Wow,Kira it's you. I didn't know you still worked here." I said ready to grab her in a hug but she pushed me away.

"Please be careful." She warned and it was then I noticed the bulge in her stomach, she was pregnant!

"Kira, you're pregnant! But how when?" I asked all the more confused. "No time to talk now,once you get back from work we'll have all the time to chat but what I can tell you is that I don't work here anymore, I got married a year ago and I'm expecting a little angel soon." Kira said the excitement bold on her face.

"Oh my God! So much has happened and I can't believe I missed it all,promise me you'll give me the full details, you'll have to tell me everything, OK?" I asked.

"OK I promise I'll tell you but first get ready,Dimitri must be waiting." She said and I rushed into the bathroom.

I took a bath and brushed my teeth. I usually like eating before brushing in the morning but I doubt there's anytime for that.

I came out and Kira was gone. I took out a nice flowery purple dress and wore,then I brushed my long brown hair and wove it into a braid.

I wanted to put on some make-up but decided against it,I'm trying my best so he won't notice my crush.

I picked up my purple stilettos and slipped them on to match and then I was ready. I went down and Dimitri was already waiting.

We couldn't have breakfast because Kira no longer worked here, anyway I'll sort that out when we get back.

We drove in Dimitri's car to his company and as we entered into the office, I could see many eyes focus on me as the staff greeted him good morning.

I followed him and he showed me to my office which was very close to his. Basically, my job was to go through files and contracts before submitting it to him for signing so I'll probably be too busy to flirt with him.

I sat in my chair and tried to get comfortable but it felt a little stuffy,truth is downright nervous. I started with reading some files and was really getting into it when an indecently dressed lady barged into my office.

"Where is he? Where's my Dims?" She asked sharply not caring if I took offense or not.

"Who exactly?" I asked confused. "I mean Dimitri." Her Russian accent was strong in her speech.

"I'm sorry but he didn't give me permission to let anyone in unless you have an appointment which I'm guessing you don't due to your rude entrance." I said with a foxy smile, I am most definitely not a pushover.

"How dare you talk to me like that,you bitch!" She said and raised her hand to slap me.

Shoot! I didn't notice on time so there's no way to dodge it without falling so,I toughened up for it. I closed my eyes but after some minutes and I didn't feel a stinging pain on my cheek,I looked up to see that Dimitri had caught the lady's hand right on time.

"Dimitri let go of me and I'll teach this whore a lesson." The lady cursed struggling to leave his grip. He let go of her hand so abruptly that she staggered and almost landed on the ground had she not had my desk for support.

"Don't you ever in your life call her whore,you're the whore and you're lucky I'm a gentleman or else you would be sorry. If I ever see your miserable self anywhere near my house or office again, I swear you'll live to regret it." Dimitri warned with a bitter piercing gaze and called security to kick her out.

"Are you OK?" He asked me and before I could reply,he had me in a hug. One of his sweet warm hugs,how I wish this moment could last forever.
