So this is where he's meeting with foreign investors is going on. 

I kept looking at their smiling faces with a set jaw. She was still fixing his tie with a sweet smile on her beautiful face while still listening to what he was saying to her. They were so busy with their talk that they didn't acknowledge my presence. They looked like happy couples you see in movies just perfect and made for each other. She suits him more with her all beautiful features after all he always wanted a beautiful girl not an ugly girl like me. 

That thought did something to me. I lowered my eyes feeling the madness increased inside me. I heard a loud laugh which made me lift my eyelids and look at them. The woman hit playfully on his arm and said something back which made him grin. He can even make a girl laugh. I never knew he had this talent in him. Like feeling my gaze on him he turned his head to look at the door. 

The smile he had a few seconds ago completely faded away from his face as his eyes met mine. When he realized I was standing at the door his jaw became set and angry gleamed in his eyes. He moved his angry eyes from my face to my toe and then back to my face very slowly giving birth to the urge to shift from one leg to another. But I suppressed that urge and stood my ground while glare back at him as last night's scene floated through my eyes. I am still so mad at him. 

The woman standing in front of him looked at him as he had stopped laughing.  Looking at his changed face made the woman fixing his tie look in my direction with a small frown on her face. They both were looking at me as I was the intruder who ruined their happy moment by my mere presence in this room. I swallowed hard as they both kept looking at me but I didn't let them see their stare was affecting me. 

"Sorry I must be in the wrong office," I said in my grimed voice while turning to go. I didn't want to witness their love affection for each other with my eyes. 

"Miss Rogers," the woman called my name in a questioning tone making me stop from going away. Listening to her voice I turned back to look at her with a questioning gaze. 

Does she know me? Of course, she knows me he would have told her about the ugly girl he was going to get married to become powerful. 

"Yes," I said in my confident voice while looking at her, ignoring the hard gaze of the person standing beside her. Listening to my confirmation she smiled brightly at me. 

"You are in the right room," she said with a bright smile on her face while moving forward in my direction. "Finally," she said standing in front of me with the same smile on her face. Her words made me gape with surprise at her but I didn't let it show on my face. "Ava Green, head manager of Milliers and Rogers. Nice to meet you," she said while offering me her hand for a formal handshake. 

"Same here. Nina Roger's new Co CEO of Milliers and Rogers" I said with a tight smile while taking her hand. He walked in our direction and stood beside her with a still mad look in his eyes. As if I care if he is still mad at me. He was the one who inflicted pain inside me. He enjoys seeing me in pain not me. 

Looking at him standing beside her she looked towards him and smiled. He smiled back while putting his hand around her shoulder while looking straight into my eyes. Like challenging me to show my disapproval. My eyes moved at his hand resting on her shoulder but I quickly looked away while taking my hand back from her hold. 

"Sorry I couldn't attend the welcoming ceremony as we were busy with a meeting with very important foreign investors," she said apologetically which made me nod at her in understanding with a tight smile on my lips as I knew what kind of meeting was going on here a few minutes ago. "But I heard so much about you from Jack," she said while smiling at me. 

It didn't affect her a bit that he was resting his hand around her shoulder in front of his fiance. This scenario of the shamelessly flashing his affection for her in front of my eyes was pissing me off but I controlled my anger. He always blames me if any guy talked with me and now what happened to all those things he accused me of. It was pissing me off bad but I controlled my anger and converted it into a tight smile. I didn't want to let him know that their proximity was affecting me. I knew even if I showed him my dislike he wouldn't behave as I want and I didn't want to get humiliated in front of an outsider. I was still feeling his heated gaze on my face as all these thoughts were running in my head. 

"Hope you heard all good about me," I said with the same tight smile on my face. I still don't look at him. Listening to my words she looked at Jack with a lopsided smile on her lips. They shared a known smile and It made me look at them with scowling eyes. Suddenly I didn't want to hear her answer anymore because I knew he would have not told her a single good thing about me here as he doesn't know it. 

"I heard about you too," I said in my firm voice while breaking their movement of share. 

"Really. I can't believe Jack Miller talks about me" she said with a mischievous smile on her face. They were still sharing that known look and it made me feel more agitated. 

What the hell is going on can't they stop acting like a lovesick puppy for a bit. 

It was getting on my nerves. "Yes, I do. I told her everything," he said in his firm voice while averting his eyes from her back to me.  

"Oh," she said in response, like not believing his words. Of course, why will she believe her lover telling about her affair with him to the person he is engaged to. 

"Yes, he told me he loves you," I said in my firm voice with the same tight smile on my face. Letting her know that I know about their love interest so she stopped pretending in front of me. I didn't want her to see that this affair was affecting me in any way. I don't care what they have for each other. 

It's good if he loves her I will be spared from this all forced arrangement for once. 

But this all thoughts were making something unsettled inside me. 

"He told you this," she asked with a little surprise in her voice like not believing my words then she moved her eyes to Jack for confirmation. 

Why would she believe me? 

"Yes, of course, I do love you, or why else would I give you a diamond necklace on your birthday? I don't give presents to the person I hate," he said, making her smile sheepish at him in return with a small nod. He looked at me while saying the last part. "You are slow in getting my feelings," he said those words while looking straight into my eyes. It made me look back at him with a hard glint. 

What a great way of saying he despises me. He had never given me a happy birthday card on my birthday forget about it he had never even wished me a happy birthday. What else would confirm that he hates me the most? Why is he even putting much of his effort into showing me his hate? I know very well that he hates me and it will remain the same till the end on both sides. And now I don't care about it as it doesn't affect me in any way. Ava looked from me to him seeing our cold hate war going on through our eyes. Feeling her gaze I broke our stare and looked at her. 

"If I'm not in the wrong office then what are you two doing in my office," I asked her in my firm voice not wanting to see their face in front of my eyes anymore. 

"You will be sharing the same office as Jack for time being as your office renovation is delayed because our interior design got sick suddenly. But don't worry it will resume soon as a new interior designer will soon take charge" she explained to me everything while maintaining a sweet smile on her beautiful face. I nodded in understanding with a small smile on my face. I didn't want to be rude. "Let me show you your desk," she said while removing Jacks' hand away from her shoulder casually and guiding me to the big desk little away from Jacks' desk. 

"It will be your desk and all the new project files are present here as you asked for them. I have arranged everything just let me know if you need anything" she said in her dulcet voice. 

"Yes I will surely let you know Miss Green," I said while taking my seat. I felt good after sitting on a soft chair. My legs started to ache a bit from standing from the morning. 

"Call me Ava," she said, making me look at her. I nodded in response and she gave a pleased smile while taking it as her cue to leave. I looked at her retiring back. From all my conversion with her. I was able to judge that she was not a bad person and I should not treat her less because of her relationship with Jack and be a bad guy in all this. The only person who deserves the title of the bad guy between us is Jack Satan Miller. 

As she was out of the office I moved my eyes back to the file and laptop in front of me. I started going through the files not looking in his direction for once even though I was feeling his burning gaze on me. From my peripheral vision, I saw him occasionally looking at me with his predatory light brown eyes but I didn't even acknowledge his presence. Why the hell is he staring at me so much? If he doesn't want to talk with me and exhibit his attitude after what he did yesterday with me then why is he giving me those looks? 

Can someone tell him I'm not begging for his attention in my life? 

Then why his closeness with Ava was affecting you so much. 

My inner voice asked in her mocking voice. It doesn't affect me. It's good that he wants her because I don't want him. It fits best for me to stay away from him and I should be thankful to him that he has finally stayed away from me. After these bothering thoughts, I shut my mind and concentrated on my work. I was so engrossed in some papers when I got a call on my desk phone. 

"Nina Rogers speaking," I said in my monotonous voice while still looking at the papers. 

"Bring me a coffee" I heard a familiar dominating voice commanding me instantly I knew who it was. 

"Excuse me!" I exclaimed while keeping the papers back on the table. It only took him a few hours to break his silence and act like the bully he is. 

"You will be excused after you bring me a coffee, my maid," he said in his commanding voice making me look at him with furious eyes. 

Is he for real? He has chosen this way to communicate with me. He is calling me to intervene when we are sitting in the same room. This man. After giving me an attitude for half a day now he is demanding a coffee from me. 

"I'm not your maid here if you want coffee go get it yourself," I said while slamming the phone with a mad look in my eyes while looking at him. I again started reading the papers when my phone rang again. I looked at him with an angry gaze as he gestured to me with his eyes to take the phone but I shut it and continued my work as I didn't want to talk with him. My phone rang several times but I didn't receive it. 

He has chosen this way to annoy me now. I knew he would disturb me if we shared the same office. That's why I demanded a separate office for me. I hate just sharing an office with him. Feeling his headed gaze on me continuously while I work was making me feel uneasy from inside. It constantly made me check if my appearance was decent on my laptop screen and I don't know why I was even doing it. And on the other hand, he has been calling me so many times that everything was pissing me off.  Why the interior designer had to call in sick now. Again my phone rang. 

What is his problem can't he let me work, doesn't he have work to do. 

"If you don't stop calling me now I will throw this damn thing at you," I said in my pissed voice while looking at him with a mad look. He grinned looking at me with his phone pressed to his ear which made me give him a more mad look. 

"Miss Rogers I'm sorry to disturb you but I promise I have called you for the first time since morning," said a timid female voice from the other side of the phone. Listening to her voice I massage my head with a sudden headache developing in my head. 

"I'm sorry…" I left hanging it as I didn't know her name. 

"Lucy I'm Miss Ava Greens secretary and going to be your temporary secretary for time being," she said fast in her timed voice like not wanting to hear my other scold. 

"Lucy, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else," I said in my apologetic voice while still massaging my head. I should have heard her first before bursting out like that. But it's not my fault It's all happening because of him if he didn't annoy me like that I would have not answered the phone like this. I involuntarily looked at him and found him looking at me with still that grin plastered to his face as he had concurred something big. I rolled my eyes at his childishness. 

"It's ok ma'am I called you to remind you that you and Mr.Miller have a lunch meeting with new investors for a new project" she explained to me it made me look at my wristwatch. I didn't even realize it was almost lunchtime. 

"Thank you for reminding me. I will be down in a few minutes'' I said in my thankful voice if she hadn't reminded me I would have for sure missed the first meeting of my first day. 

"Then I will inform our company driver to prepare your car," she said. I agreed with her then kept my phone back. I for the last time went through the papers of new projects and then stood up collecting the file of the document. Seeing me leaving he too followed me like my tail. 

On my way, I met with his secretary Emma who handed him more important files. She is a sweet woman in her late forties. She was first my dad's secretary and that's why I know her well. In the lift, I didn't acknowledge his presence and kept looking at papers. I just don't want to talk to him. Seeing me ignoring him he shifted more near me before he could do anything to make me more pissed. The lift doors opened and Ava stepped inside. 

"Good afternoon ready for your first meeting," she asked with a warm smile on her face. 

"Good afternoon. Yes very much," I said with a small smile on my face and then again I shifted my eyes to papers. She went and stood beside him. They both were talking in a hushed tone making me curious about what they were talking about so secretly. 

On my way down I came to know Ava was too coming with us. We all traveled in the same car and through the journey I ignored them as they were talking about random things and I don't know why it was pissing me. Most of the time they were talking sweetly to each other. And I don't even know the reason why it was making me mad so I kept looking out of the window until we arrived at our destination. At the restaurant, we all were set and negotiated our deal when I felt his hand rest on my thigh lazily while he was still looking at the papers of their new proposal. 

It looked like he subconsciously kept his hand on my thigh as he was now talking with a person who was looking at me from the time we entered the restaurant. I didn't remove his hand from my thigh. I didn't want him to know that it affected me a bit. After an hour, our lunch meeting was over. The men decided to go for a drink at the bar downstairs to celebrate as our deal was sealed. Ava was going with them as we didn't have work after the meeting. 

"Sorry gentleman I will not be able to join you for a drink" I refused as I wanted to go home and rest. The pain in my forehead has still not faded away. 

"I would like it if you joined us. After all, it's the celebration of our new beginning," said the person who was looking at me. 

"I would have loved it too but I'm not feeling well and I don't want to ruin the celebration so I will take my leave" I denied his offer politely saying that I stood up not before removing Jacks' hand. As I was walking towards the lift I heard my name being called. 

"Miss Rogers" called the same person who insisted on me joining the group. 

"Yes", I said with a small smile while looking at him. 

"Are you free on Saturday night? I want to go on a date with you" he said without wasting any time with pleasantries. He seemed so straightforward and I like those trails in men but for now, I was going to decline his offer. 

"No she is not me and my fiance is going on a date on that day," said Jack in his abolishing voice coming and standing beside me while putting his hand on my waist and pulling me to his hard chest. Instantly his intoxicating cologne hit my nose and I don't know how it somehow lessens the agitation I was feeling since morning. 

On the date he has not even ever gifted me chocolate instead he had always eaten my shares of chocolates. 

"I'm sorry I didn't know you both were engaged," he said with a little remorse on his face. I smiled at him apologetically and at the same time lift came. 

"Will you tell the gentlemen inside that I'm taking her home. Miss Green inside will take you to the bar for celebration" Jack said in his firm voice while stepping inside the lift while I still pack in his arms. He nodded and went back. 

As soon as the lift closed I got away from him. He clenched his jaw when I stood away from him. Reaching down I tried to catch the cab and go to my house but he forced me to sit in his car and took me to his penthouse. The pain in my head was building more and more by each passing second so without fighting with him I sat in the car while massaging my forehead. I kept quiet and didn't talk with him. After reaching, I went straight to his room and slumbered on his bed without even changing my clothes. 

As soon as my eyes closed, sleep embraced me with open arms. After some time I felt someone taking out my heels.  And after some time I felt a warm hand kneading my head as if taking away the pain and pushing me more into sweet slumber. I wanted to open my eyes and look at who was doing it but my eyes refused to open as my head started to ache more. 

Sunlight slipped from the small gape of curtains and fell on my eyes. I turned and snuggled more in the pillow to get more sleep. I felt so light as I turned it felt like all the burdens were taken away from me. I took a deep breath as the sweet aroma of coffee lingered in the air I breathe. A small smile formed on my lips as I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes. I felt really good after sleeping the tiredness all the past days had taken over my body and it let me collapse due to reacting at exhaustion point. 

I moved my fingers into my long tangled hair to smooth it down and took a relaxing breath while doing it. My stomach growled as I had not eaten anything from last night. I stood up with sleep still lingering in my eyes. As I stepped down from the last steps the scene in front of my half-opened eyes made my eyes wide open. Jack was standing shirtless in front of the kitchen and opening the parcels breakfast to place them on the plate as coffee brewed in the coffee pot. It's the first time I ever saw him working in the kitchen. He must have brought everything from him as I know how much he eats. Like feeling my gaze on him he looked in my direction and smiled as his eyes moved all over me. 

Am I imagining things? Is he smiling at me? 

I was still on my plan of not talking with him so I went straight to take the water bottle from the fridge to drink. I took out the bottle and drank some when I was keeping the bottle back. He wrapped his hand around my waist and rested his head on my shoulder and took a deep breath like he was calming himself. His action made my heart race a bit.

"Let's eat breakfast, you have not eaten anything since yesterday," he said while kissing below my ear passing a shiver to my body. As he said those words something happened inside me. I felt like running away from him but his hold was firm on my waist. 

"I'm not h--hungry," I said in my rigid voice, breaking my oath of not talking with him. Listing to my words he made me turn and look at him. 

"You will again get a headache if you don't eat anything," he said while still holding me near him. 

"No, I will not," I said in my firm voice while trying to remove his hands from me. Listening to my words he looked at me with a deep scowl on his face. 

"You have still not learned from the past. Did you forget you get a headache when you didn't eat properly in your teenage years? Your dad had to come to take prescriptions for you all the time from my mom" he said, like remembering that time in his concerned voice. His words made me look at him with a surprised look on my face. 

How does he remember something of my teenage year? 

When will he stop confusing me so much? 

I just kept staring at him dumbfounded.  On one hand, he tells me he hates me and does show it to me by his actions, and now he is saying something that even I don't remember. The look in his eyes was telling like he knows each and everything about my life. Suddenly this realization made my throat dry and my heart swelled. 

"So let's go and eat something you have not been eating properly from the past day," he said while taking my hand while taking me to eat. I bit my lower lips and followed him but I stopped dead in my tracks as my eyes felt the reflection of me on the reflecting window glass. 

I was just wearing Jack's black shirt which ended just above my thigh and half of the buttons were not even fully done. It was visible that my bra was missing. My cheeks burned even red when my gaze fell on the bright red mark on my neck and one above my breast. 

Why didn't I notice this before? I snatch my hand away from his hold. He looked back at me with confused eyes. 

"Did you change my clothes?" I asked in my mad voice. He looked at me for some time and said. 

"Yes you were sweating so I removed them" he tried to explain with an innocent look on his face. I very well know behind this innocent face he was hiding his satanic face. "Then what about the red marks on my body," I asked in anger. A small smirk appeared on his face but he quickly masked it. 

"You looked so tempting that I couldn't stop----" before he could complete I ran towards him in anger because it was enough reason for me to want to kill him. 

"You evil man," I said while taking his hair in a tight grip. It was enough of it now I can't take this anymore. Today I will teach him a lesson. He winced in pain as I pulled his hair hard. 

"Cupcake let go of my hair"  he tried to take my hands away from him but I pulled it hard. 

"Today I will only let go of your hair when you go completely bald," I said in anger while tugging at his hair more. In our pull and push, we felt on the floor while I was on him. As I was busy making him bald and him removing my and away from his hair. We heard the computerized voice saying access granted and the door opened. 

"Surprise," said the familiar cheerful voice it made us both look in the direction of the door. I was still gripping Jacks' hair and he was holding my hands. As soon as our wide shocked eyes met with aunty Sam my eyes widened even more. The bag she was carrying fell from her hands looking at the scene unfolding in front of her eyes. 

"I have parked the car," another familiar voice said but it stopped as the other person's gaze fell on us. Ava immediately closed her mouth as she saw me barely dressed in his black shirt laying top on a shirtless Jack. My face was more readers than anything that exists on this planet. As I felt aunty Sams's wide eyes on me I wanted to dig a hole and die.
