I knock on the door but no one reply. Then I remember he is not even here. I open the door and shut it immediately. My inner devil rises and numerous ideas come into my mind. I grab the remote that lies on the desk and turns on the lights. And jump on his chair and sit in his place.

'Hmm, you are quite ambitious Olivia'. I try to act like him.
'Arrange this mess that you create.
Grab these files and check the numbers before dawn.
Can't you walk properly Miss Reed'?

I laughed at myself. What the fuck Olivia that was horrible though he sounds rude and arrogant yet his smile melts my heart and the chuckle gives me butterflies. And that rare humble nature that he showed once in a month maybe a year or maybe a decade. I'm waiting for another time when I see that smile and that laugh that sounds so peaceful. And the way he says," Olivia". A tingling sensation pass through my whole body.

I take out my phone and click some selfies and then I change some lights. Switch on some music on my phone. Love grows-Edison Lighthouse. moved to the window I saw the most beautiful view of this city. Swaying on music is what I do generally, at home. I can't do things without music, not even office work. I know how difficult for me to work with him in his office, a boring person. I undid the buttons of my coat throw them on the couch.

I rest my head on the chair gazing at the ceiling. Then I notice the number of CCTV cameras in his room.

Bloody hell!!. He's gonna watch all of it.  What if he listens to what I said? Oh shit!! I mimic him.
Damn Olivia. I check his laptop or any computer that attaches to this CCTV but I found nothing. I grab those files immediately and locked his room. Running in my room back and forth. He's gonna kill me if he found out.
Oh, Shit worse than that. He's gonna fire me.

Olivia!! Olivia!! Olivia !! what you just did. You ruin your peaceful day.  I need to check the security room. Maybe all CCTV footage save there. I'll ask Sophia. yeah, she will know about it. Yeah, Sophia.

Rushed to the elevator, oh shit just seconds late it's going up. I take the stairs. I can't waste more time. What if he comes today.

No Olivia, be positive. He said that it would take 2-3 days maybe more.  He will not. He will come tomorrow and you have to remove that footage before that.

I saw Sophia who is leaving with her bag.
"Sophia, wait". Running in the hall like a kid. Staring at me like she saw any ghost or anything. I place both hands on my thighs, panting hard, try to catch some air. "I need you to help me"

"Hey, girl calm down". She rubs my back and offers me water. After a few minutes, my heart comes back to a normal pace. Gulp down the whole glass in one. Take deep breaths. I explain her whole thing, the mess I create.

"I know where the footages save. I once visited there for some technical work but I don't think so there's a camera in his room".

oh crap. I slam my hand on my forehead. She didn't know about the stealing incident and I'm 100 percent sure that he installed cameras. He's gonna fire me if he knew about it.

"Chill Olivia, I don't think so he's gonna check footage on daily basis and you are his secretary so you can delete that video from his gadgets. Simple..!! "

But first I have to confirm where his room's footages save. And how the hell she thinks, he left me with his gadgets.

"yeah right. So chill girl. I'm sorry but I have to go now. see ya".

"Okay bye, Sophia".
I sighed with relief.

I get back to work and complete all the work that he did but the day is quite plain. I feel empty for the rest of the day. I don't know why I feel like this but I think I miss something.

No. It can't be him.
Never, not in my dreams.
I vanish all my thoughts and grab my bag and made my way to the elevator and when the door opens I saw the least interested person in the elevator.
I step in and greet him, instantly plug my earphones so I just ignore his existence.

But I felt his presence just behind me and his breath touches my skin. I was startled, my heart pacing fast. The elevator door opens immediately and quickly step outside from the elevator.
The cab is already reached outside the building I rushed out and the driver pulls the car on the runway.

I still felt goosebumps. I rub my arms and hug myself to get some warmth.
The driver asks me if he turns off the A.C but I deny it. It's not because of A.C it's the same feeling I feel a few years back.
When I was in high school, I was returning from my school. It was a hot summer day and empty streets don't haunt me at that time because fear is something that I felt at home. Home suffocates me more than school. But painting is what I love the most during my teenage. It gives me peace and wings to my imagination. I was happy that day because I won an award in the painting competition. I heard a roaring bike behind me. I didn't felt suspicious, I was just a little school girl at that time, happy in her little moments. The bike comes parallel to me and he grabs one of my boobs in his hand and squeezes it. Before I even react, he ran away on his bike. I couldn't even breathe at that moment, I ran fast as I can and reach home. Lock the doors immediately. I take a bath but still, that filthy touch didn't leave me. It left a mark on my soul. I started hating males after that. But after few months, I try hard to come out of the trauma. Sometimes my classmates asked me to go out but I have trust issues and I couldn't change my opinion how much I want to.

I felt the same presence of Max and my past hits me back again.

Next Day,

I checked every single corner but still couldn't find out any camera. Let's just enjoy the day and pretend nothing happened. It's awkward to eat alone but I have no choice today. Sophia and Ashton both are on leave and if anything happened with Boss then in front of whom am going to whine. To distract my mind, I attach earphones and listening songs on Spotify.

I head towards the marketing department where I need to get a file. I called a guy named Joseph, he instructs me where I get that file as he has lunch with someone.

There are only a few people in the big room and their names are carved in front of the desks. I started looking for Joseph's desk and there I find the file in the second drawer. Quite fast huh.!!

I turned back and head towards the door while looking at the file. I bumped into someone in the doorway. "I'm sorry".
But when I look whose it is, my apologies turned into cursed words.

"Well!!Well!Well
Olivia Reed."

I try to give a plain smile to him but it's impossible for me to even look at him. I try to pass by without uttering a single word but he grabbed my arm.
I jerked his hand but he holds my wrist with greater force this time. I glance at people who are just ignoring his actions towards a colleague.

"Leave me."
I clenched my teeth and this time I don't think so I can hold my anger for long.

"or else?" he raised his eyebrows and passing me a vicious smile.

"Or else. you'll regret your actions."
I jerked his arm with full force and make a distance between us. The other employees started coming back to their work. So I walk outside from the room immediately without creating much nuisance.

He followed me outside and still didn't shut his mouth.
"Let me say it now. you are a mere secretary in this office. Why don't you accept my offer and I'll help you get a better job at this company." He slipped his hand on my waist.

I take a glass from the side table and smashed water on his face.
"I don't need your fucking help. So get your ass away and leave me alone". I make my way to my office.

"You little bitch".He grabbed my hair from behind and pulled my hair. I felt my scalp is going to shred away from my head.
"Of course! I know the reason why are you rejecting my offer but don't you know how you got selected. It's because of me". This time he uses a high pitch and got the attention of other employees. People started gathering around but didn't even try to stop him. I'm on my own here. These people seem like puppets of him.
I kick his foot with my sharp heels and he instantly loses grip on my hair. And I turned my face and kick on his balls. In few seconds he is on his knees screaming with pain.

"You Whore."

"What?
Shut your fucking mouth. You asshole. It's because of my hard work. Stop messing around with me."

"What do you think of yourself? You know my hardworking employees". Getting attention from his employees he yelled.

"How she got so popular recently and of course got this secretary's job so instantly. Don't you even think there's something fishy?"He points towards me and every single eye staring at me from top to bottom. I make fists of my hands to divert my anger and my nails are piercing in my palms.

"Shut the fuck up". I hollered at him and people are still looking at me with their annoying eyes.
He finally managed to get on his legs but still didn't stop spitting shit. He instantly grabbed my neck and choked me.

"How many bucks did you get sleeping with him"? Pressing my neck harder he pushed me towards the wall. It's hard for me to even breathe and people are just being an audience enjoying the view. Heartless pricks!!

My anger took over my fear and I gathered all my force and hit my knee on his balls again and this time on the perfect spot.  He loosens his grip and holding his crotch, fell on his knees. Not wasting a single second I smashed the file on his head and he lay down on the floor and I kicked him again with my pointed heels.

As I turned back I had a feeling of peace in my heart.
Enough!!
A big hollering voice come from the hallway and the crowd shattered into two parts and the way for him was cleared.
