My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 8. Confrontation gone wrong
HAZEL: Just as Michael had promised, he brought me a change of clothes. I was indeed grateful and got changed immediately. Luca was out of the office and so, I didn't get any funny looks. I heard the door opening and closing but didn't bother to look up. I pretended to be busy with some files but in reality, I was just staring at an empty screen. "Report." I heard him saying. I sighed and picked up a file I had gotten from other departments. I walked steadily to his table and dropped the file. I looked somewhere else while he went through the file. "This is utter rubbish!" He exclaimed and threw the file away, startling me in the process. The papers inside the file were scattered all over the office. "Why would you accept reports like this? Even if they're all dumb enough to send this, shouldn't you take a look at it before bringing it to me or are you dumb too?" He was indirectly insulting me but I wasn't going to give him a reaction. "I'm sorry, sir. It won't happen again." I
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 1. Blind date
HAZEL I would cry myself most times to sleep. Life was hard after my sudden divorce. One moment, I was living the best life I could ever imagine with my husband and the next moment, it was the complete opposite. He offered to give me some money but I refused because I knew I didn't do anything wrong. I took my siblings and left the city. I didn't want anything to remind me of him. He was the one I gave my all to but he tossed me aside when he was tired of me. I could barely provide two meals per day for my siblings because of the nature of my job. I wasn't an illiterate but I couldn't land the perfect job because I had no experience. I was the typical housewife when I was married. What I could find as the highest paying job was the job of a part-time housekeeper. I loved my job because it gave me time to learn other skills and carry out other little tasks for which I got paid. The unexpected happened that morning. I got to my place of work as usual and started with the cleaning. Un
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 2. Rejection
HAZEL: Alex and I were the typical high school sweethearts in the past. He was the hot and loving boyfriend who always made sure that every girl was jealous of our relationship. I always felt it was too good to be true because I was more of a nerd back then. Too bad, my instincts were right. He was only with me so he could prove to his ex that he could get her jealous. I was shattered on the day I found out his motive. It was also around the time that I was supposed to get married to my ex-husband. I was devastated and it affected my marriage at first. We sat across the table, stealing glances at each other. I wondered what was going through his mind. He would occasionally smile and look somewhere else. He still looked hot, only that he was more mature and had an alluring beards. His face card never declined all these years. A waiter approached our table with two hot cups of chocolate. I had ordered it first because I thought the weather was getting cold and Alex ordered the same.
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 3. New Job
HAZEL: I continued staring at the rejection letter. I didn't know where to start thinking anymore. My thoughts were in chaos and my whole world was gradually crumbling. At this point, there was nothing that could fix it. My phone beeped again, distracting me from my thoughts. I didn't bother to check it and just switched off the phone. I needed to look for a job instead of wallowing in self-pity. I had a short bath, dressed up, and went out with my file neatly tucked in my handbag. This time, I wasn't going to apply online or look for a menial job. I was going to check a nice job and I manifested it in my mind. I locked the door, took in a deep breath, and put a smile on my face. I revisited the hotels I had been to earlier to check if there were any vacancies but as usual, none. I managed to speak to some managers, it turned out they wanted something in return. Something I couldn't give to them. I was so far from home just because I was searching for a nice job. The sun was emitti
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 4. My Boss
HAZEL: Jennie and I walked through the gigantic doors, with her heels clicking stylishly against the shining marble floors. Yeah, I found out her name was Jennie and she was the former secretary and personal assistant to my new boss. According to her, she was getting married in two months, and her husband to be noted that he didn't like her job. I wondered how that was my business since I never asked her why she was quitting. "Good morning, Ms. J.," Smiles flashed from different corners as they welcomed her. She must be very popular at work. I wondered if the same people would like me since I was going to take over her job. Not that it's my fault or anything. People can be very funny. She took me to her office which had already been cleared out. "But fortunately, you won't be working here." She spilled and began walking away to another section of the floor. "Is there any reason why? It looks nice as spacious to me." I aired, trying to keep up with her. For quite a small lady like
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 5. Ruined coffee
HAZEL: Even though Jennie mentioned a lot of things, there were still some important details she skipped. Like, where to get coffee? I walked down to what looked like a general office with different people seated in cube-like spaces, all chattering amongst themselves. "Excuse me?" I interrupted. They all turned their heads to me at once. I swallow in nothing but air before continuing. "Where can I get coffee?" One of them pointed to a door that was just right behind me. I almost banged my forehead for being so stupid as not to pay attention to details. "Thank you," I smiled and turned my back to them. Their stare of scrutiny was something else, I felt like a little girl being scolded in the midst of adults. I was almost done brewing the coffee but it felt as though I was forgetting something. "Good morning there," I heard behind me. I tilted my head to the right to find someone already standing at the door. What was up with these people and not making a sound when opening th
My Ex-Husband Is My Boss 6. Eyes on me
HAZEL: "Alright, sir." I nodded. I watched dignitaries that I've seen only on TV walk into the conference room. Minutes later, it was filled up and a person stood on the stage, making sure to welcome every one of us. It happened to be that my boss was the highest shareholder in the College of Education. Julliard School was the most expensive, well and standardized-equipped school in the whole of California. It was Zayn's dream school and he once applied for the scholarship but he didn't get in. Although I was busy taking notes of what the speakers were saying, I felt eyes on me. But I didn't read too much meaning into it. As soon as the meeting came to an end, my boss stood up and walked away, alerting me that he'd be back shortly. He walked across the room to meet an older man who was about to leave. As I stood up and pushed the chair aside to turn, I bumped into a body. The shock I felt made me pull away from the person immediately. "I'm sorry for scaring you." The man said. "
