Chapter 1
Theia :
Today was one of the worst days of my life.
You may ask why?
Have you ever felt miserable? had a meltdown? and you feel you cannot take it anymore?
That’s exactly how i feel right now.
----
I work in a small decent company as a part time to earn my pocket money, Even though my dad has a huge business empire i.e Bringham Technologies.
After my Mom passed away six years ago due to a car accident, my dad became more and more distant with each passing day. He changed into a complete different person from when i knew him before, he stopped talking to me, never came home from his office, was always busy roaming the world with the excuse of deals and expansion of his empire,
He just pays my college tuition through his assistant, never asked me how i cope up with mum’s loss. Slowly we became strangers living under one roof. Losing the only daughter he had.
Having enough of it for four years, i finally moved out of the mansion we lived in and rented a comfortable and spacious apartment for myself after having decided not to depend on him for everything. i quickly got a job in a firm for developing and testing small software for the firm as i was pursuing my degree in information technology in Princeton college.
I had always been fascinated by computers and modern tech, Which eventually led me to pursue a course in IT purely by hard work .
My dad never publicized our family so we were always hidden from the media,at least it made my life breathable.
I had a pretty normal yet boring day at college nothing exciting or whatsoever, i was already late for work because of the extra class professor Adam took.
I was already an hour late, I rushed frantically running inside the building, Matilda our receptionist gave a nervous look with a thumbs up.
He was a Boss sent from Hell.
Oh Lord Have Mercy !
No one could take his wrath.
No one
I quickly knocked the door of his office ” Mr. Thompson can i come in?” I was huffing by now due to my frantic running show few seconds ago.
“Yes” came his curt reply.
I meekly entered inside to face a fuming man sitting on the chair, he is in his forties,His grey hair appearing, But he looked pretty good for a man of his age.
He could have been a pressure cooker, I could feel the fumes coming out of his ears.
Holy Moholy !
I really wanted to turn around and walk back from the way i came in.
If only eyes could kill..... i would’ve been dead by now.
I gathered some courage ” I apologize Mr.Thompson i was late today i assure you it won’t happen again” I added quickly.
“Are you sure it won’t happen again Ms.Theia” His reply was tight lipped.
“Absolutely sir”I answered confidently.
He would believe me right?....... Right !
“This is the third time you are being late! you know it clearly Ms.Theia i absolutely hate people who arrive late ! you’ve been working here from almost two years!” He got up from the chair and practically yelled at me, i flinched at his tone.
Jesus Christ!
“I-i am sorry sir, but will try my best not to repeat this again” I answered trying to keep my tone as normal as possible. I need this job to pay the rent for my apartment for almighty’s sake!
“Or.....” He trailed of before continuing ” Perhaps i can give you an alternative choice” Mr.Thompson turned to face me his face smugly and his eyes suddenly twinkling.
Bipolar Much ?
“I-I didn’t get you...” He cut me off . ” I said i will give you an alternative!” He shouted again.
Holy Schnikes! this old man needs to calm his tits down!
" I will let this matter go, if you agree to what i say” He says sweetly while walking towards me.
Did i miss a memo here ?
" I would definitely do as you say Mr.Thompson” I answered trying to be as obedient as possible but confused at the same time.
He laughed richly. “This is what i expected from you! that’s great!” He came more closer, practically just a meter away from me.
I took a step back involuntarily.
“Let’s spend a night together just you and me, and i assure you to give the best life possible” He says Lascviously eyeing me head to toe while inching more closer to me, and slowly touched my arm licking his lips.
Oh Hell No !
I suddenly had an overwhelming urge to punch this old twat.
The guts of this man !
“What are you doing?” I yelled at him yanking my arm away, he seemed to be taken aback by my reaction and immediately furrowed his brows in anger.
“If you refuse to agree, i will fire you this instant!” His voice malicious.
Of course he knew i depended solely on this job for money.
He again tried to come near me.
well, Congrats !
My patience meter just broke .
I punched him square into his face.
