Desiree's POV
"and who the hell are you?" Today, a young and sophisticated woman entered Alexander's office, and her countenance was sour and bitter when she saw me, as if she was not thrilled to see me there.
Her long hair is pulled back into a ponytail, and she raises an eyebrow as she looks at me. "What exactly are you doing in his office? You're meant to be working outside!" She gave me a snarl. As I was ready to open the door, I flinched uneasily and lowered my head, but Alexander appeared and we both looked into each other's eyes.
"Alex–Sir…" I said as I stuttered.
The woman frowned as she looked at me and Alexander opened the door wider for me so that I could exit fine.
"I will talk to you later, Desiree." He said before he shut the door.
I can hear the woman outside crying furiously at Alexander, enraged by what she has seen, and calling me names like a bitch and a poor woman.
She doesn't like me, I sighed.
I walked to the hallway and took the elevator to go back to my working place. When one of my other coworkers asked me to go outside and get anything, I became annoyed and said, "Why don't you buy it yourself? Why are you requesting that I purchase something for you people if-we are all the same." I grumbled and rubbed my irritated face. I'm not in the mood today and Joshua, who has pink hair, bit his lower lip and returned to his seat. Maybe he realizes I'm not in the mood to speak today.
I'm fed up with people taking advantage of me simply because I always say yes.
"Well, well, well, someone is getting mad today. Are you alright, Desiree?"
Margareth asks me in a calm tone, posing as if she were asking me a question so she may prepare for tomorrow's chatter and rumor about me. I know her; I've been working here for weeks, and I can tell you that she's a gossip queen.
"I'm pretty fine." I said with a stern voice. She walked and went back to her seat while saying, "Just tell me what's your problem girl so that we can talk about that, I'm always here for you…remember that."
I despise it when people are more preoccupied with knowing about other people's lives, as if it's just part of her system to talk every f*cking day; I'm not sure how she manages to work after that.
Then I heard someone clap a hand from the lobby, "Great news, guys! We can go home now!" Ritz says emotionally and he is so happy like it was a jackpot to go home very early.
"What do you mean?" I stood up from my seat as I asked him.
"We only half-day of work so we can go home now~" he replied to me. "So let's go, take all your things and we are going to the bar and get wasted! Desiree wanna come with us?"
I shook my head because I want to visit my father today and still don't have time to have some fun with anyone. I am still a little awkward to bond with them, like I still need to know them more. "Sorry but I can't, I have some important things to do." I respond with a smile on my face.
"It's okay dear, but next time you should come with us!" Margareth said and wave me a goodbye as she exited the office, some people are going now, while I'm still gathering my things and putting it inside on my bag and when I was about to go to the elevator when I saw Alexander is with the sexy and flirty woman with him, the woman is hugging his arm and leaning her head in to his arm.
He said, "Desiree..."
As I lowered my head, I said, "Sir."
"Hello, Desiree...Anyway, my name is Samantha, and I'm Alexander's girlfriend," she continued, frowning, but as Alexander looked at her, she gave me a phony smile.
"Hi Miss Samantha, it's my pleasure to meet you." When the elevator doors opened, Alexander took my hand instead of hers by coincidence, and I drew away, but Samantha had already noticed.
She stepped out of the elevator and confronted me by grabbing my hair furiously,
"Can you tell me what you're doing? What's the deal with you holding my boyfriend's hand? you are so desperate! " She insulted me in front of Alexander.
"Samantha, let go of her!" Alexander looked at me, and I saw his jaw clenched as he dragged Samantha's arm into the elevator, and his girlfriend is still protesting with him because she wants to grab my hair and hurt me.
I was left alone in the building, so I cried as I walked down the stairs. I can't believe this is happening to me. It was already late for me to get to the hospital as I look at my wristwatch.
I called Enrique to pick me up because I didn't have time to wait for a cab in the area.
"Hello, Desiree…"
"Can you please come and pick me here?"
"Oh where?"
I sniffed and wiped my tears.
"Hey, are you crying?"
"No, I'm not. Just hurry up…"
"Okay, I will be there as soon as possible. Just wait for me."
While waiting for Enrique outside the building, I saw Alexander with Samantha. He seemed like he was having a bad day and wanted to get rid of his girlfriend.
Samatha saw me again and called me "Hey you bitch!"
I gulped and lowered my head because some people are looking at me, this feels really embarrassing and why is she doing this to me? I don't do anything bad to make her feel like this.
Alexander is scolding her right now, and they're yelling at one other. I turned aside and began walking, and as soon as the car arrived, Enrique jumped out and embraced me with a hug.
"I'm so worried about you, are you okay?"
"I'm fine…" I said as I encircled my arm around his waist tightly and sobbed.
