ONE_NIGHT_TO_REMEMBEREPISODE 4
PHOEBE'S POV
Why does he want to meet me?
Is not like i have resume working already.
I knock on the door of his office and he tells me to come in.
I open the door and walk in and like earlier he is busy with his laptop.
” Am Here sir”.
” May l know your name?”
” Phoebe Adwin”.
” Last time we met l didn’t get to know your name before you disappeared. When l saw you earlier l thought you came for your money” he said and chuckle.
” Excuse me sir, have we met before?”
” Stop pretending, stop acting like you lost your memory or something.”
” I really don’t know what you are talking about.”
” Enough” he yells.
” Get me coffee.”
” But l was told to resume tommorow.”
” You resume today, now hurry and get me coffee b---h.”
Did l hear clearly, he just called me a b---h. I sigh and walk out of the office.
I don’t even know where to get a coffee.
I made my way to a coffee shop behind the office. I bought the coffee, and enter the building. I got a chance to take a good look at the building.
Expensive looking painting and funitures and vintage sofa style with gold trimming.
I walk through the building observing the whole place till l reach Mr Gray’s office. I enter the office and it’s empty.
I scan the office with my eyes. His office is the fanciest through out the building. The view in the window is amazing.
I was admiring the alluring sight that l amost didn’t notice a figure standing behind me.
“Sir, l brought the coffee” l said gently hoping l spoke correctly.
He doesn’t responded, he kept staring at me. He sun shone behind him making him look like an angel descending from heaven.
I place the coffee cup on his desk and quickly tried to retreat. I couldn’t stand his presence any longer, he was too intimidating.
” Wait” The sudden voice froze me in place.
” What is this?” he asked.
I didn't want to turn around to look at him, but do l have a choice.
” Coffee!" I answered in a question not understanding what he meant
” You think l will drink this?” he asked in anger.
” I don’t see reason why you won't” l replied
He raise his eyebrow in surprise like l said something unusual.
” Why not? Will you drink something like this?” He asked me this time leaning his back comfortably on his chair.
He look pissed.
Robin warned me about him, yet l didn’t listen.
” I know you are here to stylishly seduce me. I don’t mind though. But while you are at it, you have to know that if you provoke me, l won’t think twice before l fire you” he says looking at me.
I didn’t respond am too shocked to respond. What is he talking about? Who wants to seduce him?. So much for a first day, l thought.
” This coffee is not only cold, it’s in a mug, since it’s your first day l will let you off. But next time l ask for coffee you have to bring it in less than ten minutes and the way l like it. Take this mess you call a coffee out of my desk.”
I nod and clutched the cup and turn to leave, l walk out with clenched fist.
What a jerk, he is abusing his power. I hate this man.
I settle on my desk to arrange a few things. The receptionist l met earlier, walk up to me.
” Hi, may l know your name?”
” Yea sure, am Phoebe and you are?”
” Stella.”
“Okay it’s nice to meet you Stella”
” The pleasure is mine, l just came to say a few things to you since you are new here and my shift is over for the day. You have to be careful around Mr Gray, he is very hard to please. He is scary. He suffers from Insomnia, when he doesn’t sleep,he is super grouchy” she explains.
” Thanks for the information”.
” Ya welcome, and lastly never be late with Mr Gray’s files. Have a nice day Phoebe, l will see you tomorrow.
“Thanks Stella.”
As soon as she left, l wrote in my note pad.
” Never be late with Mr Gray’s files."
It’s getting dark, my shift is over for the day. I was arranging my desk then suddenly an older woman walked over tossing a huge pile of papers on my desk.
My eyes went wide in terror.
“Scan each one to Mr Gray and stamp today’s date on them. Once that is complete, create files for them and sort them in chronological order. This must be done today, and put it on the C.E.O’s desk before sunrise.”
I sighed, so much for a first day.
I watch everyone leave one after the other. The place is empty just the night shift security. I cracked my fingers and got right to work.
There were so many papers. I started scanning the sheet, one after the order.
After hours of that, l started making copies, just a handful left.
Suddenly, my printer ran out of ink . I had no idea where they kept the ink cartridges.
I got up and look around for another printer.
Everyone’s office was locked, l started wandering around searching for a printer.
It’s getting dark, l need to get home before it’s too late.
I got to Mr Gray’s office and it wasn’t locked.
Am kinda surprised.
I switch on the light and walk slowly to the printer. I started the copies.
It started moving and I heard a deep voice nearly startled me to death.
” Why are you here?”
I turned to the direction of the voice. I squinted my eyes to get a better view.
There he was sitting on the sofa across from me.
” The almighty Gray Mensah.”
How did l walk right past him and not notice his presence?
It was dark so l assumed he already gone home.
He held a glass cup in his hand with an empty bottle beside him. He look messy with an unbuttoned loose collar and his tie hug around his neck.
” Why are you here?” he repeated.
” Am sorry, l was just making copies my printer ran out of ink.”
He doesn’t respond, he rest his head against the sofa closing his eyes.
I felt bad that he has lnsomnia.
What a way to suffer.
I held they hypontize him to sleep. Why is he awake?
I made the copies hurriedly. It was awkward having him seat here.
I arrange the files on his desk and made to Leave.
“Come here” he called.
I walk closer to him, for no reason l seem afraid. What is he up to?
"I know why you are here b---h. Make your move."
"What!"
” How do you mean.”
He stood up and started walking closer to me. I stepped back, the more l step backwards the more he came closer. What’s he doing?
I use my back to hit the wall. I shrink in pain. He smirks and use his both hands in trapping me. I was feeling his breathe on my face.
“Isn’t this what you want?” He said and kiss me on my neck.
His kisses sent shiver down my spine. I wanted to stop him but my body said otherwise. He started placing kisses on my neck down to my collar bone and his hands cupped my breast.
” Phoebe are you this cheap?” My subconsciousness yells at me.
He smack my **** and started to unzip my dress.
” Stop it please. Stop it “l half yell faintly not recognizing my voice.
He smirked and let go of me. I quickly adjust my dress and rush out.
What just happened?
I can’t believe l did that.
I stood shamelessly and let him use his perverted hands to roam my body?
I ran out of the building. It was already late.
I got twenty missed calls from Diasy.
Why is she acting like my mom?
Have been standing here for mintues now, still l couldn’t hail a cab . I sigh in fraustation.
I was interrupted by the ringing of my phone. It’s Diasy, l knew she is worried. I was so engrossed in my phone that l almost didn’t notice a car in front of me.
” Get in” l hear the familiar voice.
Can this day get any better?
” Get in” he repeats.
I open the car door reluctantly. Am still embarrassed by what happened earlier. But he is behaving has if nothing happened.
The ride was awkward. Have never been this tensed all my life.
” Where do you live?” he asked.
” Windy hill” l replied
After the long drive, we reached my apartment and the car came to an halt.
” Thank you sir” l said but he didn’t respond.
I step out of the car and shut the door. Immediately he drove off . I met Daisy at the front door glaring at me.
” Chill babe, it’s not what you think” l said.
” Who dropped you off? And why are you just coming?”
“Am sorry mom, can l please come in” I said sarcastically.
“Offcourse. So, what happened?. Tell me Everything.”
” Seriously Daisy, stop acting like my mom” l said and roll my eyes.
” Answer me young lady. Who brought you home?”
” My Boss.”
” Your Boss?”
“Yes my boss, Mr Gray.”
Oh my goodness!
” Are you for real?” she says and squeal excitedly.
“Stop screaming, am tired.”
” Oh shut up and let me scream. The almighty Gray Mensah drove you home?.”
” So?
“So? What happened?”
” Never mind, l will sleep now.”
” You want to sleep without bathing nor eating just to escape a question?”
“You are so unbelievable. Yeah, yeah good night.”l replied
” Get up you smelling brat, go take your bath” she yells.
“Yes Mom” l reply and hurried to the bathroom.”
