Together Forever

"What the hell is this?" I bark, throwing the file towards the stupid girl in front of me. She flinches as the file falls to the ground hitting her hand.
"I... I am sorry, mam."
"What sorry? Do I pay you for saying sorry? Or do I pay you for doing my work? Might I add 'professionally'? What do you think? I don't have any information, huh? You can't do your work properly but you are very fond of flirting with the hottie guys here, don't you?"
"No...no, ma..."
"Shut up!" I roar out. " I hate when people lie to my face. Don't you dare to do that. Listen, Miss... whatever. I won't tolerate any kind of negligence among my employees. My father is kind but I am not. I won't think twice to throw you out of my office. Either work properly or print out your resignation letter yourself. Now get lost!" I yell to which she jumps up and walks out of my office almost falling on her face.
Stupid girl! I told her to bring the finance papers and she brought the IT reports! God, how inattentive a person can be? Just made my mood hell!
Opening the drawer of my desk, I take out two pieces of Hershey's kisses. I unwrap the foil of one and shove it into my mouth.
Whenever I am angry or my mood is dumb, I eat chocolates. And obviously, my mood gets dumb every now and then for why I always carry a few bars with me. By the amount of chocolate I devour every day, I assume within a few years all my teeth will fall out!
Once I finish one 'kisses', I put the other one aside and rest my head on the table. Just when I think about starting the process of calming my nerves down, someone knocks on the door.
Damnit!
Again some stupid fellow!
"Come in," I growl. The door opens and someone walks in.
Before I look up, I make up my mind to fling some really foul words at the person whoever they are.
I raise my head harshly and am about to open my mouth when I see,
Whoa!
Ethan Jones!
He is in my office?
Why?
Well, we are working together so he definitely can be here.
But I didn't know he was coming. What can be the reason?
"Can I sit?"
His voice brings me out of my reverie,
"Yeah, sure," I reply quickly pointing to the chair opposite of me.
He sits down, places a file on the table before looking at me again. Then I eye him properly.
He is wearing a full black Armani suit, hair combed neatly with one single strand falling on his forehead dramatically, and that heavenly smell that coming from him fills the room. He is looking more handsome today. Remember when I said that day that he was gorgeous, I was wrong.
