I was still a bit scared when I got home and I went straight to bed
I still can't believe the fact that I just was assaulted by my boss, I couldn't help but cry.
I cried till I fell asleep clutching my pillow like it was my lifeline and woke up around 10pm, ate dinner and went back to sleep. I'll do the right thing tomorrow I said with determination
The next morning...
I woke up with puffy face and a headache. I wanted to sleep more but my head hurts like crazy. Yesterday's incident will never be forgotten.
I texted Zoe and told her everything, she called back soon after. "I'll come over when I get off work"
I ate breakfast and took painkiller, and sat down to think about how messed up my life became in twenty-four hours.
Great! now I'm jobless,
but my savings was enough to keep me alive till the year ends and with my qualifications I'll get another job soon
I turned on the TV and took out chips with juice, I might as well celebrate my unemployment.
Few hours later...
It's 9pm already?! I exclaimed and adjusted my position on the sofa and just then the doorbell rang
Yes come in the door is opened!!
I was surprised to see Xander and quickly paused the movie and sat down properly
"I went to your company and didn't find you there" what's wrong?
"I'm not working there any longer, I resigned"
Why did you resign? he asked again
Umm nothing I just...
Don't lie to me Jennie I just wanna help he said sincerely
I... i was assaulted by my boss I said sadly but my sadness was quicky replaced with anger
Just remembering what happened make me wanna punch that son of a bitch
Xander's POV
You're joking right? I knew she wasn't joking when I looked at her body, she had bruises on her neck and.
I clenched my fist, did he..... "No he didn't go all the way she said embarrassed and slightly angry"
If you don't mind you can work at my company I offered. She was surprised and stared at me like I have two head
You wanna hire me at your company? She looked elated to hear it.
yeah my secretary got married and left the country and... when should I start? She said cutting me off
Tomorrow by....She cut me off again by hugging me tightly
Thank you so much Xander! she said happily and was smiling like she won the lottery
You're welcome I said and I expected her to release me from the tight hug before I do something else
I tried to pull away from the awkward hug and I guess she understood and let me go
I have to leave now come to my place tommorow we should go together since you aren't familiar with the way yet
Okay which time? "7am and don't be late" I won't and thank you once again she said hugging me again pressing her chest against mine wrapping her arms tightly around me
"I have to leave now goodnight"
Umm wait!!
What's wrong? Thank you Xander she said, you've thanked me three times already I said smiling
"I really appreciate it" Goodnight she said waving at me as I went to my apartment as soon as I got in I went straight to the bathroom
Turned on the shower and the cold water hit my skin, cooling me down
Did she do it deliberately or am I overthinking?
I thought about it for a while and concluded that maybe it was just a coincidence, but the second hug was kind of intimate
I abandoned the thought and went to bed
The next morning...
Jennie's POV
I woke very early to prepare for my new job I wore a blue shirt with a pencil skirt and a black heel, kept my makeup simple and ate breakfast
By the time I was done it was 7am and I rushed to Xander's place
He was just getting out of his house, good morning boss. Don't call me that. Then what should I call you? "Xander"
We got into his car and left for work
Wow! Is this your company? I asked with my mouth agape, it was two times bigger than my former one
"Yeah it is let's go in"
I followed him in and his employees gave me a weird look, it took me a while to figure out why they were looking at me like that.
That's when I realized they saw me getting out of Xander's car
Great! it's my first day of work and everyone already dislike me i murmured and went to the elevator with Xander
Our office was on the third floor
This is your office he said pointing to a room that looked too good to be true
Mine?!! This is my office?!! "Yeah it is and this is my office" he said opening an adjoining door that connected his office and mine.
His was two times bigger than mine, the interior was white and ash making it look elegant and aesthetic. He asked his P.A to show me around the company
And I got to know her too, her name was Sophia and she was super nice and sweet unlike those bitches that was glaring at me when we entered
And just like that I was Xander's secretary!
Everyone on the third floor treats me well unlike those jealous bitches from the first floor
Xander's pov...
I checked her credentials and was amazed by her level of education, with this certificate she doesn't deserve to be a mere secretary, but she has to be by my side.
Her name was Jennifer Thompson and she was 26, wow I was just a year older
And and she has worked at so many famous company. Even company that was bigger than mine.
She is a rare talent and a rare beauty too.
