Time seemed to have been dragging on agonizingly slow as he glared at me.
I lowered my head out of shame and embarrassment waiting for him to fire me, but he surprisingly just sighed and went and sat at his desk as if nothing happened.
Is that it? I thought. Wasn't I going to get punished or sent home or anything? Not even a slap on the wrist? This is oddly strange and suspicious.
I know that I should be glad that I wasn't punished or anything but this had just left me confused.
"Umm excuse me Mr. Martinez sir but is that it?" I heard myself ask before I could get a hold of myself.
He sighed rubbing his temples out of frustration and fatigue, "You may go."
"What? No" I said firmly and confused. Is this the big beast everyone was talking about or was I in the wrong place?
He looked up at me confused with a questioning brow.
"I made a mistake and I should pay for it sir" I said sternly as if I was a soldier in the army.
"At ease soldier" he laughed.
"Listen Mrs. Rodriquez I don't know if you have noticed but I am very tired and busy." he sighed.
"It's miss. I am not married" I corrected scrunching up my noise like a disgusted child.
"I am sorry for my behavior so let me make it up to you" I said looking around until I saw the coffee maker, "let me make um uh coffee for you" I offered as headed towards the expensive looking machine and turned it on. It was really fancy.
I started working and felt his eyes on me watching my every move. I felt very flustered which was unusual and found it hard to concentrate. Luckily I didn't break the machine by the time the coffee was ready.
I remembered what Maria had said about how he likes his coffee black so I just took it to him without even bothering to add any sweetener.
So far so good I thought, but I spoke too soon for as I approached him I once again tripped over air falling in the process and spilling the hot coffee all over him.
He yelped out in pain and fell from his chair back wards hitting his head on the class
"OH MY GOD I am so sorry!" I yelled out in panic, and I quickly jumped to my feet to get napkins to help him out.
I am dead, I am so dead.
I bent down beside him and started wiping his shirt all the while furiously apologizing. I had really done it this time.
I can feel the metaphoric and literally boiling of his blood. His face looked beat red from anger, but that could also be the hot coffee so I won't psych myself out.
I set off to wipe his pants but froze as I neared his crotch area, and he looked at me then looked at where my eyes were looking and then grabbed the napkins from my hands and proceeded to wipe himself clean.
I stayed there kneeling on the floor with my head low waiting on his anger to explode and surely enough it did come.
"You clumsy little wrench what the fuck is wrong with you?!" his voice came down like a thunder. I'm not exaggerating when I say I felt the building shook. There is the beast that I heard so much of. Does that make me Belle? I thought, but reminded myself of the situation and refrained from making any more jokes.
Now back to what he was saying.
"This is only your first day and you are messing up already. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't fire you right here and now!?" he yelled again knocking me out of my Disney fairytale.
I stayed there on the floor twisting my fingers with my head hung low. I really had no good excuses. I guess I'm really good for nothing.
He groaned at my lack of a response and bent down to furiously grab my cheek, his palm rough over the smooth skin of my jaw.
He made my light brown eyes to look deep into his alluring gray ones. And I held my breathe out of fear.
The fire in his eyes were enough to swallow me whole and I tried to look away with no avail.
"When I ask you a question I expect for you to answer you got that?" he gritted out holding my jaw tighter.
"Yes" I answered softly as I felt my jaw and cheek start to ache.
"Yes what?" he barked causing me to jump slightly from being startled by his sudden outburst.
"Yes sir" I said looking him dead in the eyes as a single tear rolled down my cheek.
I saw something along the line of him being sorry and regret flash through his eyes but he quickly masked it with his stone cold gaze matched with a clenching jaw and he quickly got to his feet as some loud ass puta (bitch) came barging in.
"Babe sorry I'm late I was in traffic you wouldn't believe the day I've ha- what the?" she paused dead in her tracks and took in the sight before her.
Me a sorry looking ass mess on the floor and Mr. Martinez feverishly wiping off the mess on his pants. It was a sight to behold.
"Umm babe? What is that?" she said pointing towards where I was sitting and scrunched up her highlighted nose.
I turned to look behind me in search of what she was referring to as "that" for it could most definitely not be me.
"Its nobody" said Mr. Martinez without even sparing me a glance
"Well I'm famished and I want you to take me for breakfast pretty please" she said pouting her obviously filled lips.
She looks like a fish, how annoying.
"Sure" he sighed looking at his coffee stained shirt.
She jump up in excitement squealing like a high school girl. She was really getting on my nerves and I only knew her for like five minutes.
I was getting tired of the scene so I decided to leave before I barfed.
I took one last glance at Mr. Martinez and exited his office, but from my office next door I saw the two of them making out and he groped her ass while sucking her face. Yuck!
Now I wished I could pour more hot coffee on him and even pour it on her stupid face and her expensive shoes.
An evil smiled appeared on my face as I imagined her squealing as I poured hot coffee over her head ha ha.
They looked as if they would have eaten each other if they could. I rolled my eyes at them and spun around in my chair.
I decided to pull out my phone and read a book.
A few minutes later I heard my office door being opened and I looked up to see Mr. Martinez entering and I returned back to my book for I wasn't interested in whatever more he had to say.
Why was he even here? I was a nobody right?
I don't know why that hurt but it did.
He came over to my desk and placed both his palms on the desk and leaned over towards me.
He smelt strongly of coffee and her cologne and I rolled my eyes as I thought about them practically inhaling each other not even 5 minutes ago.
"I am going home for a new suit then I am going for breakfast" he said while standing over me.
I checked the time on my wrist watch and saw that it was almost 10.
"Okay" I said sighing as I looked up at him from my phone.
"Since this you fault" he said pointing to his coffee stained shirt and pants, "it is your responsibility to get it cleaned" he said pulling me by the arm.
"Oww let go of me" I said as he pulled me through the door.
He pulled me along the corridor and into the elevator, and pressed the button for the lobby floor still holding on to my hands.
The elevator opened with a ding as we reached our destination and he pulled me through the lobby to the exit as if I was his dog that he was taking for a walk which gained us a lot of curious and confused stares.
I met Maria's eyes and she gave me a sympathetic look and I wanted to yell "help me miss lady. He's about to murder and bury me!", but I didn't for I didn't want to piss him off any further.
We exited the building to see a car waiting out front like in those movies, and the body guard opened the door for us and we went in. Okay exactly like a movie.
I folded arms and looked out the window for the entire ride pouting, but he didn't seem to care. I wanted to ask where we were going but my stubbornness refrained me from doing so.
We sat there in silence for about 15 minutes until I decided to ask a question.
"Where is miss what's her name?" I asked still not meeting his eyes.
"She's at the café waiting for me. I sent her ahead" he answered easily.
"Hmm," I hummed in response. A few more minutes passed and I saw that we were no longer in the city but we're heading for the hills.
"Where are we going?" I asked finally meeting his eyes feeling slightly panicked that he was actually going to kill me.
"To my house" he answered as if I just asked about the weather.
"You're house?!" I squeaked out.
"Is there a problem? This is your mess so you should be the one to clean it up isn't that what you said? Besides your are my assistant. Personal assistant to be exact isn't that right Ms. Rodriquez?" he asked coyly.
"First of all I interviewed for a secretary position and second of all I know I snooped through your office and spilled hot coffee on you, but I don't think those offenses are enough for you to drag me to the woods and kill me" I said seriously.
"Well consider yourself promoted to my PA and as for the killing part" he paused for dramatic effect, "that can be arranged" he smirked and I felt goosebumps.
"Haha very funny- wait did you say promotion?" I asked just registering what he had just said.
He nodded shrugging as a response.
"I will be getting more money then, right?" I asked again.
He nodded shrugging once more.
Yes! I thought. More money meant a better apartment and food and clothes, especially clothes. Hmm maybe Mr beast wasn't that bad I thought as I continued to take in the land scape and enjoyed the ride. I think I'm going to like this job.
