0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Next morning

Sapphire pov

My life slowed down....

I was late and Andro already left for office...

It was not because I woke late but because my foot was not at all supportive.

It took 15 minutes to reach the main door to see that he already left.

30 minutes to reach his office door from the taxi door.

But when I entered he didn't even acknowledge me.

I limped and reached his table to be only ignored .

"Mr Romano..here are the files you asked for..."

He didn't replied for a minute and I expected he wouldn't.

But what he replied his words made me freeze with horror

"You are fired miss Sapphire...you are not to be seen here or at my house again...."

He didn't even look up...

"I am sorry..Sir....I was a bit late...it will not happen again....last night I had a-..."

"Did I asked for reasons...miss Sapphire...I am not interested in knowing with whom you were whoring around....so before I reprimand you any further please leave.."

His words shattered my soul

I couldn't just leave now...I wanted his forgiveness and few harsh words couldn't stop me from it.

"What.. are...you.saying Sir....I didn't did......."

"Oh please miss Brown I don't want any explanations...I just want you out of my face..is that too much to ask?"

Now his eyes met mine and the seriousness and determination in them made me take a step back....

"No....No...Sir....I....I'll ...take my l..eave..."

I tried moving out of his room without limping...but my confident steps staggered when pain returned.

hands clinged the door frame for support but his next words

scrutinized gaze went further down and he crouched down

and stared

"

..I....am fine.....now...it's okay....what ...are...you...?"

awkward and embarrassed I stepped back but he was fast to hold my leg and lift my long skirt up to

curse left his lips as he saw the blue purple

doesn't hurt much...it hurts less than how bad it

guess he was not listening to me...he called someone and within minutes

"Sir...plea-"

you stop with your pleadings miss Sapphire...I asked you to rest and take care of your wound not to roam around. Do you even know the repercussions of not treating it? How can you be so damn ignorant woman? Do you
