Chapter 1 - Chapter one:Cold devil

" If we both wanted to see each other,we should follow the scent of sea breezes" I said.

"Okay.....Till we meet again.....my love" he replied.

JAMIE POV

" Beep Beep Beep" my alarm ringed.

I got up,brushed my teeth and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.I looked at the time and instantly knew I'm going to be late for the interview. I rushed upstairs,had my bath and dressed up in a fashion manner.Forgetting to lock the door,I dashed out like flash and then hailed a taxi.

"Hello miss, where shall I take you" The driver asked. "21 Avenue, off gates road, beside bookers hotel" I answered. "That's the great "CHAN AVEZ" Box office" he said. "Sure thing, but can you hurry up" I urged him.

After several minutes of listening to the driver's non stop talking, I got to the office with five minutes to spare.

I rushed into the "Box office" and went straight to the receptionist office.

"Hello ma'am, what can I do for you?" The receptionist asked. "I'm here for the job interview" I said. "And your name is?" She asked."Jamie Reynolds" I replied. "Okay Miss Reynolds,follow me" The receptionist said. "Heyyo, can I know you?" I asked. "Ayers.Ayers Charles" She bluntly replied.

After a whiff of silence, we got to " his" office.

"Miss Reynolds, go in" Ayers said.

I entered the office obediently with my eyes closed allowing my body to get familiar with the strange aura the office is emitting.

After what felt like a millenia, I opened my eyes.

"I thought you were going to act like a blind person.....Miss Reynolds " a strange voice said.

I gasped in fear thinking that my inner voice was the one talking until I saw someone's shadow in front of me.I couldn't seem to catch the person gaze because of the dark window blind.

"Who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked. " Are you going to seat or ask your BOSS questions" The voice emphasised.

"PA PA" I heard a clapping sound."My gosh, he is using the clap-clap light. "The great CHAN AVEZ must be stinking rich" I thought.

The light was put on and I could see the person whose voice I was hearing.

"Devil incarnate" I shouted[Wondering why I shouted: office interior:black and white:clothe:pure black;beauty;100 percent]

Having read a thousand novels, only devil's have a perfectly sculpted face which could make ladies and men fall short of breath.

"Wait a second, aren't you that guy that his wife insulted me and even got me fired just because I splashed coffee on you" I asked knowingly.

"You are that nosy waitress that couldn't seem to get her eyes off me" He retorted.

"Do you think you deserve my gaze? Pathetic. I was just looking at the woman next to you" I said.

"I hope you know you are talking to your boss?" He asked.

"Oh my word! I have to work under him.Today has got to be the worst day of my life" I thought.

This is absolutely terrifying. I'm sure he's going to make my life a living hell.

Xxxxxxxxxxxx FLASHBACK Xxxxxxxxxxxx

"Jamie, go serve that man in a white tuxedo" Eren said.

Even Calloway is the manager of "Drink and shine" high coffee shop.

I seemed to be lost in staring at the woman close to the man in tuxedo.

She seemed awfully familiar and I didn't seem to like the vibe she's giving.

I collected the coffee tray from Eren and proceeded towards the man.

When I got there, the woman gave me a death stare that sent shivers down my spine.

I was lost in the daze of her smile and didn't seem to focus on where I was going.

That led to me spilling the coffee all over the man's body.

"Are you blind?" The woman asked.

"No I'm not...Ma'am. It was my negligence that led to this. I'm sorry, it won't happen again" I calmly explained.

The man had an ugly look on his face. I'm very sure he's mad about me spilling hot coffee on his tuxedo.

"Incompetence. You are not worthy of working here. I'll see to it that you get fired. What a useless pile of dirt" She sneered.

I could only turn to the man to stop his blabber mouth wife or girlfriend....whatever, from insulting me.

Turns out, he was like those men that are in the shackles of their wives. He didn't even mutter a word.

After they left, Eren seemed to be furious as he has witnessed the ugly scene.

"Jamie, how could you be so careless?" He asked.

"I'm sorry Eren, it won't happen again" I replied.

"Oh, you bet it won't. You are fired" He said before leaving.

Those words were like bells that kept ringing in my brains.

How would I pay my rent...I was so sad that I started crying in front of everyone present in the coffee shop.

"Are you done thinking" he asked.

I didn't reply, all I did was gave him my qualifications.

AARON'S POV

These qualifications are looking good but I have to keep her around just in case.I kinda felt a connection with her.

"Looking great.Very well then.You are hired as my P.S.A[Personal Special Assistant]" I said.

" Sir, I came here to be hired as a manager nor a P.S.A or what you might call it" I said.

"First off, call me Aaron. Second off, I am the boss, I make the rules" I said coldly.

" That should shut her up for a while" I thought.

"Miss Reynolds,go through this and your office is opposite mine" I said handing her a booklet.

" Thank you sir .Do have a nice day" Jamie said and walked out angrily.

I'm very sure she is mad about the coffee incident.

I never intended to get her fired. Abigeal insisted and I couldn't seem to decline because she has something against me.

Finally, a rewrite. I hope you guys love the rewrite.
