Jane Duncan's POV
I was sitting in front of my desk and I couldn't stop myself from staring at the door thinking that sooner or later someone was going to batch in here and tell me that I'd been fired on my first day.
It would be..."BOO!!""AAH" I suddenly screamed when someone sneaked up on me. I turned around and was not surprised it was Justin."Really? Don't you have work to do or what." I yelled, glaring at him. If looks could kill he would be six feet in the ground right now."Nope" he said with a smirk dragging the "p". "You know I have all the time in the world for you babe".I felt the urge to vomit when he said that. It wasn't that he wasn't handsome or attractive but I just couldn't see him in that way. Whenever I thought of me and him having that kind of relationship, I just feltl like throwing up.I guess that's why I'm immuned to his flirting and charms and I also knew he was just joking with me."So have you heard anything juicy about the new boss?" I asked him, hoping to get a piece of information which would help me keep calm."No I haven't. Why do you ask?""It's nothing. I'm just curious that's all."" You're such a liar. What's going on in that pretty head of yours"I pushed him away from my desk. "pfffft please nothing's going on so you can leave now.""Haha don't miss me too much sugar""Oh please get over yourself" I shouted at him and muttered under my breath,"arrogant ass"An hour later I was seriously doing an article about the right skin care product for a pimple free face, which I don't know anything about given that I don't have a pimple free face and I don't have enough to waste some buying such products when I felt a tap on my shoulder.I turned around and standing before me was a woman wearing a sleeveless blouse and a very short and tight skirt. I didn't think she could walk properly in them.Her eyes surveyed me from my hair to my shoes as if to determine whether I was a threat to her or not.Ha women will never change!After she was done assessing me, she looked at me with a smirk on her face which was to say that I was no competition because I'm pretty much an average woman.I wanted to pluck her eyes out at the way she was looking at me but I kept my anger at bay."Miss. Mallory asked me to deliver a message to you. It says that you're needed urgently at her office."WHAT! OMG could it be about the incident."Did she tell you why?" I asked, silently praying that it was not about what I thought it was."No but you should go there now ASAP because she looked really angry. Gotta go now"I'm dead and officially screwed. My life in this company has come to an end on my first day. How's that even possible?Is there someone up there who's twisting my life making all sorts of bad luck come my way?Maybe this is my destiny, I'll be unemployed for the rest of my life.....Okay so maybe I'm exaggerating too much but seriously WHY ME?Jane Duncan's POV "Really, that's why you called me?" I said, relieved."Of course that's why I called you. Is there any other particular reason why I should call you?""No! there's no reason. Don't listen to me. I say meaningless things sometimes haha.""Okay" She picked up the folder from her desk and placed it on my lap."Go through and write down the parts that need adjustments. Can I get it back by tomorrow at ten?"Tomorrow at ten! This thing has about 200 pages. Do I look like a robot?"Uhm sure"I say reluctantly. Damn that Justin I'm gonna kill him. (obviously doesn't want to do the task)"Don't worry rest assured you'll be highly compensated for this task.""Really?"(her mind's screaming money)"Yes Miss Duncan. I assure you it will be a hefty amount""Okay I'll submit it to you tomorrow at ten, no I think seven would be better so you can go through the pages I'll revise." (enthusiastic to finish the task)"You sure you can finish it before tomorrow?" Miss Mallory questioned
Jane Duncan's POV I checked the watch on my wrist and it was exactly five o’clock meaning I’d been here for almost an hour now. Beads of sweat continued to effortlessly glide down the body. There was an air conditioner in the room but I was still soaked with sweat from head to toe. I was going to lose my job. I continued to cast my eyes to the floor since the man who was going to fire me was staring at me with so much anger in his eyes that I wanted to dig the ground and bury myself. He cleared his throat and stood in front of me. “I’m not going to fire you” WHAT! Did I hear him right? Is this guy in his right mind? “I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with my mind." Damn, why did I say my thoughts. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that. It's just that I say shit when I'm nervous. I obvoiusly wasn't trying to insult you. Okay so maybe I did insult you but It wasn't on purpose. Ugh I probably should stop talking now." "To make myself clear to you I'm not firing you now b
Jane Duncan's POV "Why are you here Collins?" I hissed at him while blocking the door before He could enter. He hadn't changed a bit. It felt like yesterday since I last saw him. His hair has been pulled back as always making him look even more beautiful than he already is. If I didn't know him I would think he didn't eat from how lean he is. "Not even a Hi. It's been like six months since we last saw each other and the first thing you ask me is 'why am I here?'. Seriously Jane I didn't think you could get any colder." He puts his hand on the door revealing the heartbeat tattoo on his upper arm. I remembered when he first got it, it held so many memories. Memories that I desperately wanted to forget. "If you came here to insult me then you might as well leave because I don't have time for this." I tried to close the door but He forcefully pushed his way in and sat in the only armchair I had which was about seven years old now. "What do you want Collins? Just say what you want to

Brrring! brring!Ugh I hate this sound! Just stop already I want to go back to sleep.I stretched my hands and knocked the damn thing of the table.I'm exhausted!I just woke up and I'm already tired. I couldn't sleep because I'd been thinking about my encounter with Collin. I'd laid awake on my bed, eyes open looking at the ceiling, thinking about what I'd done to deserve this.I knew Collin, how persistant he was. That's what made me fall in love with him then. Once he set his eyes on something, he never gave up on it until he got it. And I'm scared that he'll trap me in cage again. The cage that I'd thought I rid of.Seriously I thought I wouldn't see him again but I guess things don't always go the way you want them to.Ugh I need to get up for work.My room's a mess as usual. I take my bath and put on a button-front mock neck sleeve dress with a black flat shoe.I poke my head outside to check the corridor before going out. I absolutely don't want to talk to Mrs. Hamilton this mo
Today I found a folder on my desk. I was assigned my first official work today and I'm super hyped about it. I have to do my best.Since I'm new here and I don't have much experience, I was surprised when I was assigned to write an article for the best selling magazine in the company, The Insider.I've read it once when I was still in college and I found it really intriguing. It contained a lot of stuffs about society and it's norms, youth empowerment and also critical issues that needed to brought out.When I opened the folder, I couldn't contain my excitement. It was like a dream come true for me. If I could scream my lungs out I would but I probably that want to end up in a psychiatric hospital.Although I'm excited about it, I'm also pretty scared too. What if I don't meet their expectations? What if I'm unable to do it right? What if I mess things up?All these questions run inside my head as I sit in front of my desk.I barely see Justin sit next to me if not for the squeaking
Damon Anderson's POV It's almost six when I make it back to the office after seating through a meeting when the board of directors. I loosen my tire and place it on my table. There's a knock on my door and Arwen enters. "Mr Anderson, I have the articles for the magazine. They were submitted on time as usual." "Hmmm. What about the new employee? What's her name I think it slipped out." "Oh. It's Jane Duncan. And she was the first to submit hers." "Hmmm. Okay, I'll go through them before tomorrow. And please stop calling me sir. Just call me Damon." I reprimand her. She's been my secretary for almost two years now and she still doesn't want to call me by my first name. "Okay, Sir...Sorry, Damon." "Haha, I've heard you. Have a good night." "You too Sir." She shouts as she closes the door. I thought I just told her to call me Damon... I pick up the folder and go through the first article on it. It's the one from Jane Duncan. The new employee I presume. She wrote about the healt
THE HELL. How did this happen? I'm currently standing at my station holding The Insider magazine that was printed this morning. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'm fuming with anger. Because I can literally feel smoke coming out of my head. My article wasn't published. I wrote that article with my whole heart and it didn't get published. "Hey, what's wrong? Why the sad face?" Matilda approaches me and places a hand on my shoulder. "My article wasn't published," I mutter and hang my head. "Really how come? I'm sure it was a mistake..", she shouts making everyone turn to look at us, "what're you guys looking at go back to work." "You're right. It could I've been a mistake. I'll go talk to Arwen." "Okay. You got this girl!" I Knock on Her office door and she asks me to come in. "Oh, Jane do you need anything?" "Well yeah. The thing is that my article wasn't published in The Insider and I wanted to do what happened whether it was a mistake or not." "What? Your article wasn't p
