Annoying

Chapter 4

Eve POV

The sound of my blaring alarm jolts me out of my deep slumber, and I toss on the bed angrily. I just slept off a few hours ago, how come it's morning already? I think I'm going to end up losing my mind if this continues.

I groan tiredly as I force myself to sit on the bed, running my fingers through my hair as I yawn tiredly. It's as if I have the whole world on my shoulders right now, I need some rest, but not when I have to be early to work. I don't want to lose my job. Not that I won't get employed in other places, but I so much love the company that I can't bring myself to stop working there.

'You should work on your manners, Eve' his words echo in my head again, and I scoff angrily. It has been two weeks since he said that to me, but until now, it's still so difficult to get it off my head. Isn't he a jerk for saying that to me?

Pushing all the thoughts to the back of my mind, I drag myself out of the bed and stride into the bathroom to have my bath.

A few minutes later...

I glance at my reflection in the mirror for the last time, and I sigh briefly. Picking up my handbag from the bed, I amble out of the room and close the door gently behind me. I still have enough time, so there's no need to rush things today.

After I have breakfast, I leave for work afterward. The drive to the company isn't stressful as usual, and I arrive in less than thirty minutes.

Stepping into the lobby, good thing that it's crowded yet, so I just stride to the elevator and press '3' on the buttons. My office is located on the third floor.

While still inside the elevator, my phone suddenly starts ringing, and I bring it out of my handbag to answer the call, but my countenance changes seeing the caller. It's my so-called dad. Is he just remembering that he has a child now? Well, I can't remember the last time we spoke on the phone and don't judge me for being rude. I'm sure you'll do the same if you were in my shoes. At times I feel so depressed to the point of thinking of committing suicide, but then I tell myself that it's not an option. At least, they don't worth it. Why would I take my life for someone who won't even feel sad when I'm gone?

The door finally rolls open, and I step out still holding the phone, but I collide with someone, and my phone slip from my hand and crashes on the floor with the screen facing the ground. What the heck!

"Are you blind, huh?" I snap angrily at whoever the idiot is, as I quickly bend down and collect the pieces together, not even bothering to check who the person is.

Standing up to my feet, I finally raise my gaze to check who I just bashed into, and I almost jump out of my skin at the sight that welcomes me. It's my annoying and arrogant boss. Gosh! What have I done now?

"What did I say about manners?" He asks calmly, crossing his arms on his chest. Mr. Liam is standing behind him. I guess they were going somewhere.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't mean it," I apologize to him, even if I so much want to punch him in his face and vent all my anger on him. I'm so pissed right now, and I hope he'll just let me go. I don't want to do anything stupid now.

"I knew you to be mannerless, I had no idea that you suddenly lost your sight. What's with you? Did you display this act of insanity when you started working here? Because I'm sure you wouldn't have been employed here if..."

"I'm sorry, Sir," I apologize to him again, trying so hard not to let my anger consume me. I don't want to lose it, but he's pushing me beyond limit.

"You don't talk when I'm talking, Eve! Don't push me. I can see that you weren't brought up well... I mean, you lack home training. Because if you don't, you wouldn't have been putting up with this kind of ill manners from the day I first met you. Now, listen to me... I don't care about your value to the company, and I don't give a damn about how long you have been here, if you don't respect the rules here, then I think you either get ready to be thrown out soon enough, or you turn in your resignation letter now to avoid embarrassment," he yells at me, and I flinch.

"Like seriously?" I scoff as I glare at him angrily, the urge to slap him rushes through me, but I know best to control it. I don't want to cause a commotion here.

"Oh please cut that crap! I won't stand here, and say those trash to me, when you're the one at fault," I fire at him between gritted teeth. The fact that he's the CEO doesn't give him the right to walk on anybody he wishes to, it doesn't give him any right to think he can mess with anyone he wishes to and go scot-free. He can try that with any other person here and will go free, but not me. He should steer clear off my path if he doesn't want to keep seeing trouble for the rest of his life.

"One more word from you, and you're kissing your job goodbye," He threatens me, and I scoff.

"Hell with you and the damn job you arrogant jerk! Go to hell with your job, I don't care. And one more stupid word from you, I'll give you a deafening slap," I snap at him, and he squints his eyes in disbelief...
