Aaron king as Michael B. Jordan^^^

I was wrong.

That man has been down my neck ever since we came back to work. The trucks already delivered all ten of my items and put them in my new apartment.

I tried telling him I didn't need a truck but he insisted on renting one anyways. I didn't know he owns a rental truck company too.

I can't be ungrateful since he gave me an apartment for free.

"Ms. Carter to my office NOW"

He screamed through the intercom. Seconds after he hung up. I put on a tight lipped smile and strolled to his office. When I walked inside he had his face buried in his laptop while one of his girls sat on lap.

"Yes sir?"

"Get us a glass of red wine"

He said while the girl on his lap sucked on his neck like a leech. He didn't seem to mind at all since he continued typing on his laptop.

I nodded my head and went to the lunch room. I pulled out a bottle of red wine and poured some in a champagne flute. The girl already looked drunk out of her mind and it's only three in the afternoon.

I contemplated on pouring some posion inside of his glass but I immediately thought against it. The cameras that were in the break room was facing me.

I walked back into the office in disgust as he was literally swallowing her face. His eyes stayed glued on mine as they exchanged saliva. I placed their drinks on his desk and walked out. I could feel his eyes on me as I walked out of his office.

"Hi there Ms. Carter"

A guy standing in my office said. I looked up only to be meet with nice tall drink of chocolate milk. He had nice dark brown eyes with a very built frame. I haven't seen him around since I came here.

Why does all the cute boys hide from me? The moment they get a girlfriend is when I realised there was once a single fine young man roaming the earth.

"Hello. Do I know you?"

"No, but you can get to know me"

He said with a huge white smile on his face. I could tell he's a charmer. He leaned on the doorframe with his right foot crossed over the left.

"Do you want to talk?" He asked.

Just like that a conversation struck. We talked about food, work, cars, sports and much more. I forgot I was at work.

"Ms. Carter I need you to..."

Mr. Cruz said as he busted into my office. His eyes were fixed on Aaron that was just staring at me. I cleared my throat out of nervousness.

"Yes sir?"

"What is he doing in here?"

I looked at Aaron then back at him. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Aaron in pure disgust. It's funny how that's how I was looking at that girl that was sitting on his lap.

"Mr. King, you're late to our meeting. It's nice to see you're with my assistant that was suppose to remind me that we have a meeting today"

I looked at my planner in shock. Nevertheless the meeting with Aaron started almost five minutes ago. I got up out of my chair and cleared my throat. I escorted the men out of the room and into the meeting room.

"We'll talk about this later"

Mr. Cruz said as he put on a fake smile for the room full of important men. I sighed and went to pour them some water. Just like the last meeting there wasn't a seat left for me.

Mr. Cruz pulled out his chair signaling for me sit on his lap but I shook my head no. I just stood next to him and got ready to take notes. He looked up at me in anger then he looked at Aaron who was smiling at me.

The whole meeting passed by and he would occasionally glance up at me. I tried to ignore it but his eyes focusing on my every move started to make me feel uncomfortable.

At some point he just turned his whole chair around and just started staring straight through my soul. It's like he was trying to figure me out.

When the meeting was over I shook everyone's hand and said thank you to them for attending the meeting.

Even thought it was their job to.

Everyone left until it was just the two of us. I tried to clean up the meeting room but he was just staring at me. Like usual.

The last time we were in this situation he told me that my body was too snatched for tight dresses.

"What were you guys doing in your office all alone?"

"Grown folks business"

I immediately regret saying that. I heard his hand punch down on the table in a big bang. Within seconds he grabbed me by the arm and yanked me to him. His eyes narrowed at me with anger as I looked at my feet.

"Do I pay you to socialize all day and seduce my workers? This is your last warning from me Ms. Carter"

I quickly shook my head and got out of the conference. The look in his eyes sent shivers down my spine. His anger took me back to a place I never wanted to think about.

At that moment he reminded me of my foster parents. The number one reasons why I ran away from New York.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The whole day I separated myself from all human contact. That was easy to do since Mr. Cruz only had one meeting for the day and the paperwork I had to file was already on my desk.

There was multiple knocks on my door but I left it locked. Mr. Cruz used the intercom if he needed me to check my email or set up an appointment.

When it was time for me to leave I stopped by his office and said goodnight. Afterwards I sat at the bus station and waited for my ride home.

After an hour waiting for the bus I came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to come anytime soon. With a sigh I got up and started on my journey to my apartment.

Twenty minutes into my walk a black car started slowing down behind me. I took off my heels and got ready to run just in case things got a little more sketchy.

"Ayooo ma"

Here we go again. Another guy sitting in the passenger seat of his friend ride is trying to talk to me.

How come the guys in the driver seat don't be trying to talk to me? It be those passenger seat guys that be doing the most.

I mean I can't be talking. I don't even have a car.

Just like I always do I keep my head straight and act like no-one is talking to me. If I give them attention then they might think that I'm entertaining them and that's not it.

When he saw that I wasn't paying him no mind he stuck the middle finger at me and put his boney ass neck back in the car.

I continued walking for what felt like hours until I was in front of my apartment door. I really need to make an uber account.

Finally I was home and away from that bastard that insists on making my life a living hell. I kicked off my boots by the entrance and closed the door behind me.

I turned around only to be meet with that man sitting in my living room.
