"Are you sure you don't know each other?" Richard asked
Avril glared, "I don't even know her name"
"Lina Williams, twenty-two years old with two older brothers. Both her parents died in a car accident and she's studying at the Alexander University"
"Huh?" exclaimed Avril.
Richard motioned Tony to continue, "She's the best in her year in all the university and is now starting her internship here under us"
"What?"
Richard smiled, "Calm down my dear friend.
"Did you two plan this cause it sounds ridiculous "Avril gritted his teeth.
"No we didn't boss, I found out after I saw her picture today morning and compared it with the one I took last night, "Tony said.
"I don't want to see that woman near me or anywhere in my company so... "he stopped when someone knocked on the door.
...
"Excuse me, may I be directed to the HR office," asked Lina.
After being directed and reporting she was sent up to where she would be doing her work.
"This place is so big will I be able to remember every office" she muttered.
"Don't worry it's not that hard, each department has its flour" the HR said.
"Okay," she smiled.
"The boss who tours going to be under is a very picky person so make sure not to get on his bad side & you will last here longer"
"Is he very complicated?" she asked.
The HR stopped, "Let's say he has a lot of principles he follows" She pointed at the office and left.
Lina nodded and knocked on the door.
"Come in, " a voice said.
She walked in with the prettiest smile," Morning boss, am your new intern Lina Williams "
Avril scoffed and leaned back in his seat, Richard and Tony fell silent and Lina froze.
Silence filled the room, the two men stood up excusing themselves and walked out. Leaving the two inside alone.
Lina blinked," So.... so you're the boss "she awkwardly smiled.
"What is it? speechless? "said Avril.
"Ah... ahhh... "she stammered.
"Don't bother explaining or saying anything 'cause just your face is enough to annoy me now so please leave my office "he said.
She bit her lip and didn't move. Her brothers would kill her if they found out she had failed on the first day. And after all the work they did to help her get the internship here she wasn't letting it go that easily.
Moving swiftly to his desk she said," Please, don't do this on my first day here. Am sorry about what happened last night... "
He glared.
"Okay even what happened a while ago I didn't mean any of what I said. So please let's forget about it and put it behind us, then start fresh " she said.
He opened his mouth again," Get out "
Lina felt her body tense up," Please, please, please if I mess this up my brothers are shipping me off to a weird country I don't like and I will be far away from everything I like. Would you want that? "
"Why should I care, I don't know you, "he said emotionlessly.
Lina breathed and straightened up, her eyes stuck on him she walked around his desk to where he was sitting.
"I didn't want to go far but you pushed me, "she said.
Avril smirked, "What are you going to do ".
Lina abruptly leaned close to him, freezing him in place, her face inches away from his. He blinked staring into her green cat-like eyes.
She moved her lips to his ear and whispered," If you don't give me this chance am going to tell everyone how you sexually harassed me last night" he tried to move but she pushed him back down..." & don't think I don't have proof cause I do "
Both heard the door open and Lina flinched losing balance, her body fully landing on Avril. Turning their heads slowly they looked at who was at the door.
Richard stood still in the doorway after a few seconds moved back out.
"Don't mind me & continue, I will return later "they heard him say.
