It was Rachel's first day of her new job, she wanted to go it perfectly, so she didn't even wanted to talk with Derek this morning. She wanted to ask him what he is doing in this apartment and with this company. What she knew was that Derek is a lawyer and camsoft is software company for financial institute. Rachel was surprised why Derek is not I. His dads company like Venessa is but what she didn't know is that camsoft is also Mr. Edwards company.
After drinking coffee and eating some breakfast, Rachel was ready to leave the Apartment, when a voice broke from behind and disturbed what she was doing. It was Derek.
Derek went straight to the kitchen for some coffee and came towards Rachel saying " hey, leaving already. I will see you in the work. Btw , I work there too and I had some issue with my apartment. So I am staying here for few weeks until it's fixed. Rachel looked back at him with a sarcastic smile in her face and replied "good to know, anyways it's my first day. So I want to leave early. See you again I guess. Anyways, sorry Derek I don't want to get involved in twisted relationship with you. So you don't need to pretend to be nice with me and seriously, you are not my first crush. I swear I don't even like you anymore. So next time don't try to come close to me or kiss me again ok. I need to leave now Bye."
Derek was shocked from Rachel's bold statement and he is surprised that he is her first crush. So she had never been with anyone before ? He was thinking as if he won the victory over something. But again he got into his mean personality where he believed all beautiful girls are selfish and they break heart like a piece of glasses.
On the other hand Rachel doesn't want her feeling to affect her first day at the work, she left her job was 2 blocks away s from that apartment so she decided to walk. She had millions thought coming to her brain and Derek's face was constantly popping in her head. No matter what she do this person's effect will appear on her. Then she suddenly remembered, if Saturday's passionate kiss that I imagined real or her imagination what happened that day. I had few drinks and was tipsy by the time I came home but I don't remember anything except that hot kiss which I thought was my imagination. I am scared to even ask him now. So I will let it go. But it was my first real kiss and I want to feel the passionate to kiss again, well not with him but with my boyfriend when I make one. She was already in the company's door and she came back to reality. So she patted herself and said to her inner Rachel that she needs to forget everything and focus on her work now. Her 2 weeks training starts from today.
She is waiting in a front desk for the paperwork she needs to fill and someone will take her to her department. A very charming lady came where Racheal was and said that she will take her to conference room. They will introduce all new trainee and recent hire to executives and also give them the overview of their company. They will also introduce new CEO who joined the company recently but no one knows who he is except executives. Racheal sit in one of the chair in second row, whole conference hall was filled with 100s of people. Well it seems like whole company was their.
Their wear around 10 people in the stage and they were all executive members. First they introduced all the executive members of all departments and they called Edward walker to the stage who happened to owner of the company. Rachel was shocked to learn that this company was mr walkers. She always thought he was a lawyer and has a big firm in Manhattan but now she know that he is also the owner of this companies. She was still processing with the news. So she was not prepared to hear Anything else but again another familiar name came across her ear. They announced the new CEO of the company who is non other than the guy who kissed her last night and left her in the middle of it because he is multiple personality maniac according to her.
Rachel almost had a heartache from all the information she got on the first day of her new job.Well she thought everything is what it is and now she will proceed with her training and she will never have to meet Derek again but seems like it was not her day today. Same lady from earlier who name was Tara came and called Rachel and other 2 new hire to CEO's office. They were told that they will be working for CEO 2 guys followed Tara and Rachel was left there alone with Derek.
Derek gave Rachel a cold look and said that his secretary will give all the information and training for her. He showed a table with bunch of file and a computer in a corner and said her to enter all the file in computer.
Rachel looked at his face confused, she thought her job was a internship in a financial department and what will she do in CEO office entering files but she was very scared at Derek's cold look so she didn't bother to ask him anything. She just followed his order and started to scan all the file.
Derek smirk his lip like he won a trophy or something. He was so happy inside but he didn't wanted to show it to Rachel but knowing that he was her first kiss , he was very curious to ask how she felt but his pride was more important then anything, So he continued to grumpy whole afternoon giving Rachel very hard time.
It was almost 5 in the evening and she knew it was time to leave already. She asked Derek in a very small voice " sir, do you have anything else, if not I will be leaving I have some paperwork to deal with Tara."
"Yes you can go but we're you able to find the apartment already ? " questioned Derek in a very casual way like he us her friend again.
"Not yet , it's very hard to find a roommate and very expensive to rent new apartment." She replied without thinking but she realized that she should talk much with him. She again said in a casual way " I might be able to find something by next week"
Derek hands her a paper and says "you need it sign it before you leave today and you can take a last page for your reference, it also has a address where you will stay. It's a 2 year contract and you can't break it, as you know I am also a lawyer. You will have to pay penalty if you break any rules in the contract."
Well she was very happy to hear that the company provides them place to stay. She was not able to think anything else, because this whole time since leaving her babysitting job, it was just her father's warning that came buzzing in her ear that she is nothing without her family, she won't survive without them. She needs to join his farm and marry that stupid Mark mayor's son and her father's friend who can only get permission to start his winery business that was shut due to some legal issues.
Well just flashing back to past 4 years ago when she was merely 19 years old she left her house fighting with her father. She needed to proof him that she is capable of doing anything she wants.
So she didn't hesitated to sign the paper she just give a glimpse to the wording when she read a line that says she will listen and obey to Derek without questioning him and she can't leave Derek for 2 years ... bla bla.....
she still thought everything was normal because it's a company's contract she needed to sign. She thought her job was just for 4 months and they will hire permanently after that but 2 years contract is still good.
She was smiling reading the contract, Derek was looking at her face and a smile came to his face as well without him realizing. He was mesmerized by her beauty when a slight hair fall in her face while reading those paper, he felt the urge to pull the hair back from her face. Suddenly he remembers something. Clearing his throat , he says "ok you will be working with me and me only and you won't ask any questions to me unless it's business related. Rachel nodded her head saying "sir yes sir ."
Derek started to get angry he thought Rachel was special not like those girls he met before but turns out she is same ready to do anything for money. His anger was showing in his face. His grumpy ness was all over his face.
" you can leave now and move to the address mentioned this weekend. That envelop has key to it."
Derek continued looking to files he was looking earlier taking the contract paper from Rachel's hand.
Rachel left his office still confused but happy. Derek secretary was outside the room she gave Rachel 2 folders and said "Mr Derek said to give these to you it's copy of your contract."
Rachel took those file and went back to the temporary apartment she was staying. She had a very long day today. She ate some dinner took a warm shower and headed to her room she , locked the door and double checked it if it's locked and called Venessa and Kate after talking with them for few minutes she went to bed. She needed to wake up early tomorrow, so she better sleep on time. With all this mixed feeling about the company and Derek and contract she she signed which she didn't even read properly but she was happy about the job or she is not she was very confused, more she wanted to sleep more she was disturbed. Finally she decided to read her novel and not think anything about crazy-head. Slowly she felt sleep without noticing what time Derek came or if he even came that night.
