Arianna glanced at Evan, sleeping comfortably on her bed.
"Is he deep asleep?"
Tianna asked in a whisper.
"I think so".
Arianna replied and drew a deep breath.
"He looks so hot while sleeping, so tempting I want to lie beside him, his lips look kissable".
Arianna frowned at her.
"Stop sexualizing him".
"Girl I envy you, imagine the Hitler brothers fighting over me. God, I will die and dance on my grave as a ghost".
"I don't think he hit him because of me, Andre isn't that type of man who could do anything because of a woman, he is cold and a bully.He did that because.... because of some stupid reason I don't know"Arianna replied.
"I am pretty sure he did that for you, sometimes things aren't what they seem like Arianna".
"What do you mean?"
"Andre may be cold, rude etc, but he is the one who brought you to the hospital and stayed by your side for days, girl he is like a character from a romance novel, what kind of boss could do such? Besides from the story I've heard, he is the most hated son of Hitler's,you said so yourself the family abused him in your presence...."
"Shhh can you lower it?"Arianna interrupted and glanced at Evan.
Tianna continued but in a whisper.
"Don't you think he may be finding it difficult to express his true feelings".
"Where are you going with this Tianna".
"I think Andre loves you silly, and so is Mr handsome here. The two brothers are Inlove with you, girl you are in a love triangle ".
"First there's no way they are Inlove with someone like me, I mean these people are public figures. What will they gain by fighting over me? You're saying impossible stuffs which is ridiculous Tianna, Andre is a bully ,he once bullied me, the dog and now his brother,you support him because he is the most handsome of the two, but I don't look at handsome face, I say the truth the way it is, he is toxic too toxic"Evan was on call with Andre's ex girlfriend.
"He hit you because of her, I need to know who this bitch is Evan".
"Why ...you are his past and interestingly one could say an unworthy past. I worked my ass up with you thinking you are the one for him but well now I know who my main Target is
if you know a little about this girl, you will ruin my plans but if you are patient enough you two might work things out after".
"After what...after you have broken him beyond repair?"
"Not at all, my plan is to end him.....".
"You think Andre can be stupid to hurt himself because of some chick? Please he is not a weakling, he is a man wanted by many women, he can never".
"Well you never know".
He smirked and hung up.
*****
"Are you sure you want to resume work?"
Arianna's mother asked, concerned.
"Yes mother,I am healed enough to go back to work now".
"So how are you going to iron things out with your boss".
Arianna felt a slight frown emerging on her brows.
"I will try my best".
Her mother smiled.
"He is a good guy,I am sure he will understand".
"Yeah hopefully"she mumbled and kissed her mother goodbye then left the house.
She was sitting inside a cab still trying to get the reason why Evan told her alot of secrets about Andre.
If those things were true then her boss is not only a sadist but a very horrible person.
How can he try to rape his own stepmother.
He may be hated by many but at this point she doesn't feel sympathy for him, he deserved the hate.
"We are at your location Miss".
The cab driver cuts into her thoughts.
"Ohhh I am sorry"
She blinked and searched inside her big bag for her small purse here.
Finally got it out ,she took out a few notes and gave it to him.
"Here is your money".
She got down from the car and strolled across the road to their company.
Max rushed to her as soon as she stepped in.
"My goodness,what happened...your phone wasn't going,I tried Tianna same damn it Arianna and you haven't been to work,I visited and your place was locked up".
Arianna smiled and hugged him.
"It's nice to see you again Max".
She said slowly and turned to go to her office.
"Are you okay?"
She looked back at him.
"Yes, why?"
She was obviously troubled or sucked,it was literally all over her.
Max glanced around the room and found some of the colleagues paying attention.
"Look, we will talk later,I want to hear everything okay?"
He instructed.
She nodded and smiled briefly and walked to the escalator.
Her face turned pale as soon as she entered her office. She dropped her handbag on the table and sat down tiredly on her chair.
A lot was in her mind, she can't stand Andre anymore, she doesn't want to be his assistant anymore.
Trying not to get more pissed, she took her phone and decided to unblock Teddy.
Surprisingly he did unlock her a week ago and sent messages.She rolled her eyes, her heart heavy with sorrow.
"What the heck do you want after dumping me like some trash".
Her heart skipped a beat over and over as she took the courage to read the messages.
"Hey unicorn...I...I..about the restaurant and date. .I was a coward, you don't deserve to be treated that way".
Her tears filled eyes and went to the next unread message.
"You can't imagine how hard it was for me especially when you are so near yet far from me".
"Yeah I was near but you told me to leave, we are so near in seeing each other Teddy but you said it won't work, us won't work"Arianna sobbed.
She closed her eyes tightly and then opened them slowly to read the last message.
"This is my number, call me hopefully you will unblock me someday, it may be forever".
Arianna dried her eyes and anxiously tried to dial the number then she paused.
"I can't believe he still affects me do much, don't be so naive and stupid to believe him Arianna"
She yelled in her mind then looked around her office.
Everything irritates her.
Coming to a conclusion,she walked out of her office and knocked at Andre's.
"Open".
His voice came.
She slowly opened the door and walked in, Alecia was there with him in an awkward position.
Arianna wondered how she wasn't so scared to flirt with Andre. Unsure if she was actually curious about that or mad about it.
Alecia was at his back with her heavily open cleavage,her hands caressing on Andre's chest.
His face was expressionless and cold but she didn't back off.
Seeing Arianna, she gave her a dirty stare and left the room.
"I didn't send it to you".
Andre stated.
"Yes sir".
"So what's the message?"
He asked, forcing himself to look up to her face.
"I don't want the promotion anymore sir".
The words came hard out of her mouth nervously as she pressed the phone she was holding behind her.
Andre's eyebrow twitched but he chooses to conceal every anger stored up in him.
"Do you know what you are requesting...
His second phone rang and Arianna's own vibrated almost starling her.
Unaware to Arianna she dialed the last number on her phone which was Teddy's.
Andre ignored the call.
Arianna pressed her side button and ended the call, surprisingly Andre stopped ringing.
"Was that a coincidence?"
She was asked by a little voice in her head.
Her mind was completely blank to what Andre was saying, so she decided to dial the number again.
His phone rang and stopped as soon as she hung up.
Andre who was unaware of this kept talking about how ungrateful she is and will replace her if that's why she wanted then the endless calls irritated him.
He angrily turned to look at the caller.
His soul left his body instantly.
No one said anything for close to 40 secs.
"Teddy?"
Andre didn't look up or move a rib.
