I pushed myself to move and then sit on the chair, James pour water for me and gave it to me. my hands were shaking& my heart is pounding out of my chest..
I take the glass from his hand
" why your hands were shaking" James asked
" No it's not.. I just... got scared" I said
James smiled and said
" you are scared of me why and secondly what are doing here.. and please don't tell me that you are trying to jump from here"
" No.. I'm not scared of you... I mean a little bit.. but I'm not going to jump from here..." I said
he get up from his chair and walks around to my side he stops in front of me and rest his back again this table and asked again
" What are you doing in my office"
" oh f**k I got caught.. sarah was right.. it's a stupid idea.. I should listen to her.. why always crazy idea came up in my mind " I thought in my mind
I clear my throat and said
" what am I doing here..Ahmmm .. I accidentally came into your.. office.. because it's so dark inside I thought it's mia office... she needs her some stuff.. so I was helping her." I said
" lame.. lame.. lame excuse.. I don't think he is buying it .." I thought
James sigh.. and said
" okay.. you can leave now "
" Really.. I mean.. yeah.. yeah.. I can leave.. thank you so much Mr James..& sorry"
I get up from chair and again said sorry to James and turn towards the door
I thought " Thank God for saving me"
I was about to pull the door handle but.. James blocked my way
I was stunned at the point
" Mr James.. do you need anything.." I asked him
he took step closer to me and his eyes were piercing into my soul
" You forget something" he said
I checked everything in my bag but everything thing was in it car keys, phone
... I look up again at James & said
" I don't think I forget something"
" I'm sure you forgot something.. he took a pause for a second... are you not came here for this.. he pointed towards letter in his hand
I was stunned , my legs were trembling again... I can't focus on James face slowly my vision getting blur..
I mumble " James I feel dizzy.. and then I faint..
The next thing I know I was lying on couch and James trying to wake me up..
I open my eyes, James was calling to a doctor.. I mumble... " Mr James.. I'm fine.. you don't need to call a doctor "
he turn towards me and said" are you okay " I nodded and said " yeah I'm okay..
can you help me to get up"
he nodded
he gave me his hand I hold his hand and get up from the couch..
" are you sure you don't need a doctor" he asked me again
I replied
" yeah I'm sure ... and did you read the letter.."
he said" yeah.. and
" I'm sorry...it was my stupid idea.. please don't fired sarah.... it's not her fault.. I forced her to do that.. I should listen her.. sorry.. I always make stupid plans and they never worked" I said in one breath
James paused for a second then said
" oh Soo it was your idea well I might be signed on this but now I changed my mind"
" what! why.. James . Mr James please just signed it" I said
" you were try to make me fool Lara.. and I'll not tolerate this... and yeah you should listen to sarah.. . this is not funny"
he said in a angry tone
" I'm sorry.. Mr James ..I know I made a big mistake... so sorry please forgave me.. I'll do anything but please don't get angry... please don't fired sarah " I said to him
he took a long pause..
I thought in my mind" what is he thinking... I try to read his face.. but he make a best poker face..
"sit lara he pointed towards the couch I sit as he to me & he sit opposite side of me & said
" I'll sign on this and I'll not fired sarah"
I mumble
" am I heard him right or am I going crazy"
I narrow my eyes and said
" am I heard you right you are going to sign on this and you are not gonna fired sarah.. I don't buying it... I lift my one brow.. it's so good to be true..
" you heard it right but... he paused for a second... you have to be my assistant for next 6 months... you know I fired mia today.. soo I need a assistant... and see you don't have choice..or else
I quickly get up from the couch and said I'm an architect not an assistant and I don't know nothing about it.... & believe me I'll messed up everything...
he said " I know you are a brilliant architect that's why I'm giving you an other chance.... if you say no, my company will take an action & your career will end... so think about that before you gave me the answer."
I clear my throat and said
" okay I'll think about it and I should leave now it's getting late"
he nodded and said Lara good night.. he gave me a smirk and I gave him fake smile..
I went outside, sarah was waiting for me
she looks terrified
she asked me, that did Mr James fired her. I told her ,that he doesn't fired her. What happened? sarah asked
I told her, the whole story what James said to me. She was listening me so intensely..
Finally; she said " Don't! tell me you said, no to him"
I said to her: " No! I didn't answer him, am I look like a dumb to you"
she replied; yeah you are dumb that's why you make that stupid plan and drag me into it.
"l'm sorry but now I'm leaving, because I'm tired you also need some sleep" I said
she nodded
I went to my car, unlock the door and get inside of it... After driving for 15 minutes I reached at home
