He's My Thorns

I look out the window, staring at the skyscraper that is opposite the building that I'm working in from my desk. Suddenly, my desk phone rings. I saw the extension number it’s Abigail, my HR director. I’m a HR Executive in Gilded Royale. Gilded Royale is the top Brewery & Wine Company WorldWide. The company is specially known for their beverage especially their Coffees and Cafe. There are 10,000 over cafe Gilded Royale owned. We’re considered the top 10 richest companies in the beverages industry.  

“You look nice” Abigail says as she looks at me up and down. I smile “Thanks” I say. I wore a long flair white dress. I bet Abigail is thrilled to have me come to a social event since I avoid these types of events. My relationship with Abigail is complicated.  

I saw a black Ferrari parked behind him and had to ask, “Your car?” pointing on the ferrari. Ignoring his request, I changed the subject so I could quickly walk away from this conversation. He nodded. “I'll get going” Before I could turn away and walk, Adrian grabbed my upper arm and pulled me close to him.

Soon it was Saturday, I got ready wearing a casual white shirt and jeans with sneakers to go to Adrian apartment. Every saturday, I had to work in his apartment as the agreement is to work for him Monday to Saturday around the clock. I don’t bother wearing office wear as it’s going to be in his apartment so I just wore something comfy.  

Barry, Adrian's personal driver, drives us to the Event by a black car. “You look good letting your hair go” Adrian complimented me. I thanked him. I still can’t get over what happened back at the fitting room situation.
