Margaux was in the ladies room when she heard her office mates gossipping.
" I thought it would be impossible for Mr. Heisegel to realize he's been a laughing stock."
" Me too. He's so dumbed and naive. Duh! Even the janitors look down on him."
" I guess the only person who treat him well was that new secretary who would not even greet us."
"Oh! and about her! I heard she don't eat with you guys."
" Yes! and I heard she trash Mr. Holland's project proposal ."
"I still can't believe Mr. Heisegel aggreed with that."
" I heard a rumor that he was almost killed. Mr. Heisegel did nothing out of fear. What a pity!"
" I seconded. By the way, I heard there will be another board meeting tonight. I bet Mr. Heisegel would just agree to everything again."
" Of course. He's too easy to trick."
Dumb? Jerk? Margaux did not give anyone the rights to say that to Mr. Heisegel. She's supposed to be the only one who could say things as such.
Enraged, she slammed the door and shocked them.
" I heard everything and I recorded everything as well."
Horror struck their faces.
" I'll give you 30 minutes to pack your things up. You're fired. But don't take my word for that. Wait for Mr. Heisegel's."
She's trying her beat not to beat them to a pulp.
" You need to discuss this with our team leader !"
" No. He is the CEO. If you wanted the team leader to save you, work for him, outside Mr. Heisegel's company."
She rushed to his office and kick the door open.
" Margaux! please! learn to knock! Even the backstabbers knock at my door.
She rolled her eyes.
" That made me hates knocking even more! There will be a meeting tonight."
" You already told me."
" Cancel that one."
Questions marks are visible on his face.
"Why?"
" I have a reason. If you don't trust me, then, I guess Icll beat you up?"
He sighed.
"Fine. I won't ask."
She stared at him.
" Mr. Heisegel."
" What other complaints do you have?"
" Whenever you get out of this room, don't smile. I heard you greet your employees first. Stop doing that either. I'll be checking on you. Do you get that?" she glared at him.
" I don't want to look like a CEO."
" That's why they take you as a joke!"
He remained silent. Truth does hurt.
" I already have a list of employees you need to fire. They are low-performers anyway. We need a competent workforce. We should be hiring new employees soon and I want to choose them myself___."
" Fine. Just give all the things I need to do."
" Whatever. Just fire the people in this list," she said and handed him the a piece of paper.
" Don't just talk to anyone. You need my permission before answering a call, got that?" she added.
Sichie agreed to everything she said
" And why the heck do you like such feminine colors? You need to look domineering. Wear something dark."
He shook his head.
" I could do anything but not that Ms. Shiva. It's the only thing that
identifies my real identity."
She don't understand this man and find him irritating but she agreed in the end.
" I want to hang out tonight. I won't be answering your calls," he excitedly said.
"I want to sleep tonight as well. I won't be answering your calls too."
She said and walk out.
°°°°°
She's in his bed when a thought came. It's only been a week but she love her work so much. Partly because his boss can't fire her whatever she'll do. Yet, she's threatened by the fact that someone is after Mr. Heisegel's life. He's the most suited person that she can depend on and there's no way she'll let him be in danger.
Margaux find herself next in Mr. Heisegel's office. She don't need to sneak in but since Sichie said he wouldn't answer calls, she's left with no choice.
She searched his office, trying to find traces of people that pose a threat to him.
Then the door opened.
When the dim light caught Mr. Heisegel's face, she continued her search without worrying.
" What are you doing here?"
She busied herself that she failed to recognize the difference in his tone.
" I wanted to find any trace of people that pose a threat to you. You almost died Mr. Heisegel, they have to take account for that."
He opened the lights and sat in his chair.
" I've been drugged. I'm sexually aroused right now. Leave."
She stopped rummaging his files for a moment.
" What?"
" Leave before I lose control of myself."
Confusion made her walk towards him.
She was taken aback upon seeing the man in the chair. He wore all black and was sitting with both arms resting on the arms of the swivel chair, his long legs were crossed and his eyes were closed as he leaned.
He looks domineering and extremely different from the Mr. Heisegel she knes.
" Just as I imagined Mr. Heisegel. You look manlier with darker clothes," she said and walked closer to study him.
" You look hotter ," she added.
" And I feel really hot. Leave. Now," Sichie ordered but she only smirked. Sweats roll down from his face.
" But being hot doesn't give you the right to talk like that, especially to me."
She was about to punch him and teach him a lesson but even with his eyes closed, he blocked her hand, grab her wrist and pulled her towards him.
She felt his hardness as she landed on his lap.
" I warned you. Don't blame."
Her heart thumps rapidly and her insides starts to tremble.
" Mr. H-heisegel."
His hands journeyed in her waist. His lustful eyes did not leave hers, causing a tingling, hot sensation she can't suppress. He slipped his hands inside her cropto and invade what's underneath.
"W-wait."
He lowered his head and started kissing her neck, taking her sanity left. She struggled but the tingling sensation is too strong for her. It electrifies her body as his lips crawled inside her mouth.
No one had ever touched her like this. She's only 19. When her body could not defy him any more, she met his tongue halfway.
She admit her defeat.
They kissed gently at first until desires possessed them. She had no experience but when he ripped her shirt off, she find herself doing the same to him.
" Mr. Heisegel."
" Margaux ."
It was a feeling beyond comprehension. It was magnificent, great and addicting but it's all beyond that. It felt like heaven and hell at the same time.
" Shit! "
He stopped upon realizing that she's a virgin.
" You're still__," .
" Be gentle ."
That was the night she lose her purity. She never thought she could moan like that. She never thought she could move like that. It's her undiscovered talent, she guessed.
But the most painful part is not what happened but what happened after. She lay on the floor with only his long coat covering her body and the first thing that she saw was his charming face, bare chest and inquiring eyes.
" Ms. Ashiva, why did you sleep in my office?" Sichie asked as he stared at her, looking so innocent and puzzled.
