Tale Of Blood And Rose

Elevator started beeping , signaling she had reached her destination. Now her nerves begin to kick remembering what she has to do today.

She was afraid of her boss far more than anyone else .She quickly came out of the elevator after checking if it was the 43rd floor or not. She knows very well how their cold voice punishes them for their little mistakes.

It was her first time going in front of him. So, her never are absolutely fried. She was trying to calm herself down and act cool.

She reached towards a lady who was the secretary of the 43rd floor. She went towards the lady trying to act cool in front of her.

"Excuse me, when I have to go inside my boss's office." Niya asked in her cracked voice. The last stopped typing and raised her head a little up to see a nervous but beautiful girl standing in front of her.

"Little girl, don't be nervous. You have to wait in the waiting room and you will be inside the boss's office if his secretary Jammy will call you." The lady explained everything to her and pointed towards the waiting room. She thanked her and went towards the waiting room.

"God, help me." She went inside the waiting room. She was looking at other employees' faces which made her even more nervous.

She silently sat on the couch, which was vacant. She was lost in her thoughts when," Miss Pattinson, please go inside." His one of the secretaries, who was a lady, called her.

Niya's eyes widened and her heart jumped to her throat, even though her breathing became very fast all of sudden. "Don't worry Niya. It's your time, if you can't do it now, then you never will." She tried to encourage herself.

A girl who was sitting beside her gave her supportive smile because she was also nervous but not as much as Niya. She collected all her strength and walked over to the boss's office's door.She was trying her best to get her nerves together and keep her legs from shaking.

Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door."Come in", snaps a cold voice from inside the off. It was enough to send shivers to her whole body and she can feel the unanimous wince from his secretary. "It seems like someone ruined the boss's mood." His female secretary murmured.

Yes, their boss was not in a good mood. She swallowed down the knot inside her neck and took a last but long breath before going inside. She pushed the door and went inside trying to keep a professional look and a kind smile on her face.

Other than her footsteps and the tickling of the table clock there wasn't a single sound in the large office. If someone dropped a very small thing that the person who was sitting in front of her could hear it would probably hit the ground.

Niya, who kept her eyes down from the start out of respect for her boss, begins to raise her big, beautiful brown eyes towards the CEO, who was completely not interested in looking at his computer screen.

She looks around her boss's office. It is well decorated with grey and white coloured furniture, making the room larger than it is. Behind him is a glass wall, showing a beautiful view of the city despite his large frame being in front of it.

His large desk looks very neat with only a couple of papers, a little table clock, a pen holder and a miniature globe on it. There are also two comfy looking leather chairs seated in front of his desk.

The room was surprisingly spacious with a couple bookshelves and even a large sofa in the corner with a large flatscreen T.V of 120×80 inches fitting on the wall. She finds it quite impressive, but it's not enough to distract her from the task at hand.

Niya's POV

He looks over at me, I cower as soon as our eyes meet. I quickly look down again to try and collect myself, my racing heart making it very difficult to do so.

With slightly shaking legs, I make my way towards the desk and gently place down both files. One was mine, he gave us some tasks to do and another which they gave to me to give to the boss. I took so much care into putting it together.

I could feel his eyes on me the whole time, as if burning a hole into my very soul and looking right into my very being.

My already erratic heart begins to beat even faster and harder, I wouldn't be surprised if he could hear it in my chest despite our distance.

Under his scrutinizing gaze, my body turned cold and I could feel my knees going weak. However, I manage to keep what little composure I have left and stand my ground.

As I stand in front of his desk, he only stares at me, not even asking me to have a seat or anything. Like he knows this will only be a quick meeting. He stretches out his hand and simply says 'file'. In his cold tone, which he always uses.

I handed my file over to him and he started to flip through it, but it's like he's barely scanning it. He suddenly started to chuckle."You call this a report? Miss Pattinson ….huh….hmm." He rolled his eyes at me before continuing…

"I have seen trainees with fewer mistakes than you have, and who have also put in a lot of effort as well. This is highly disappointing, you completely undermined my expectations with trash."

His next actions caused my eyes to widen and tears started to form in my eyes. He reaches up and tears some important pages of my file which were at the front, before throwing on my face.

The next moment, my tears just flowed down my eyes." Pick it up and get out." He ordered.

I shakingly bent down to pick them up. I looked over the pages he threw at me, but I could not find any mistakes. In fact it looks perfect to me, what could he be talking about?

"But sir…" I went to ask about my mistakes but I was cut off by him.
