Chapter 3


    I am independent and your words can''t cage me.


    ************************************


    "Ms. Carter bring me the ount file Immediately" Mr. Theller spoke from the other line.


    "Right away Sir" I said before the line got disconnected. I couldn''t help the sarcasm the sneaked its


    way into my voice. Oh well!


    I took the file which he asked me to bring and made my way towards his Cabin. I knocked on his door


    and went in after hearing his husky "Come in" voice.


    "Sir, your file" I said as I put the file on his table.


    He nodded and took the file opening it and started going through each page of the file.


    "Go bring me a ck coffee" he ordered with his usual re. I pouted, well aware of his intent eyes on


    me, irritated by hisck of respect but gave up when I knew there was nothing that I can do about it so


    reluctantly i nodded my head before leaving his room.


    I made my way towards the coffee machine and made his ck coffee. I poured his coffee in the mug,


    wondering if I should add poison or salt to this coffee but decided against it as I still needed money and


    for that I needed an employer no matter how arrogant and cocky he can be. I made my way back to his


    cabin, taking a deep breath and asking God to bless me with the ability to tolerate his bull shit.

    I entered his room after knocking, a habit of mine which started from the day I joined this Bank.


    He was so engrossed in that file that he didn''t even bothered looking up at me.


    "Sir your coffee" I said offering him his mug.


    "Hmm Keep it here" he said without even looking up at me. I nodded saying "Okay" and kept his coffee


    before him on his table.


    Damn, I must say the way his eyes were narrowed like he was in deep concentration was making me


    hot. He looked so handsome and fierce. I couldn''t help but stare even though it was so unprofessional


    and so unlike me. The way he bit his full rep lips, deep in thought was so fucking hot. What the hell was


    I thinking? He is my damn boss and here I am appreciating his sexiness and manliness. The way his


    muscles bulged under his every move. The shirt did nothing to hide the fact that this man had a


    delicious body. Oh god help me! This man knew how to infuriate me and find a way to get under my


    skin but still I couldn''t help but be attracted to him. But that''s all its going to be. A simple harmless


    attraction because someone as powerful and hot like him would never nce my way. Its a shame he


    had to be a jerk otherwise me and him would of gotten along just fine.


    "Anything else do you want me to do Sir?" I asked and waited patiently for him to reply.


    "No it''s enough. You can go" he muttered still engrossed in his file.


    "Okay Sir" I said and turned to leave. I was half way to the door but stopped when I heard him yelp.


    I turned around immediately only to find him wincing due to the coffee spilt on his table.


    "Sir!" I panicked running to him.


    I took his hand with was burnt due to the hot coffee and carefully examined it. I found it red and already


    tender.


    "Sir are you alright?" I asked him worriedly.


    "Yeah I thi-" he began but I cut him off saying "Oh no! It burnt really bad".


    Using the office phone I called the receptionist to bring me the first aid kit and to be quick. I dragged Mr.


    Theller to his attached bathroom and checked whether the water was cold from the tap.


    When I found the water was cold I ced his burnt hand under the running cold water while I silently


    stood there wincing a little.


    "You should be more careful Mr. Theller. Look what you have done" I began rambling, too worried to


    actually fully understand what I am doing. Touching a fucking womanizer, someone I should be


    disgusted by someone I am disgusted by but I cannot leave him to suffer from the pain no matter how


    much I hate him.


    When the receptionist brought the first aid box to the room, being careful I aided his burnt hand


    applying ointment and told him to show the hand to a Physician.


    All the while he kept quiet and stared silently at me, letting me do what I needed to do peacefully.


    Although I felt his heated stare on me, I didn''t dare nce up at him because if I did, I knew it will


    definitely lead to an awkward situation. After finishing with his hand, I called the office sweeper to clean


    his coffee which was still spilt on his desk and on his floor. I managed to clean some of his files but


    found some of his papers already drenched.


    "Oh no! This was an important paper" I muttered seeing a clients paper soaked.


    "Don''t worry about that I can handle it" he muttereding near me.


    "And Thanks for this" he said lifting his aided hand up to show me.


    I smiled genuinely at him and watched as his eyes grew wide like a saucer. I saw an unknown emotion


    flicker inside his eyes which made my smile vanish almost as immediately it came.


    "Sir is everything alright?" I asked when he kept quiet staring mutely at me. It made me feel so weird


    and ufortable.


    "Uh yeah. Yes everything is fine you can leave now" he stuttered a little, averting his gaze from my face


    and went towards the ss window leaning against it sideways.


    "Weird" I thought and wondered what got into his head this time which changed his demeanor.


    Nevertheless, I shrugged my shoulders and left his room.


    I went back to my cabin and sat on my chair exhaling a tired breath. Today had been a very long day


    and his mood swings were bing very irritating.


    I checked the time to find its already time for lunch break. I sighed, closing myptop and stood up


    ncing at my attire once again and adjusted my sses.


    It''s been two weeks since I joined Theller''s International and I have made quiet some good friends in


    here.


    I walked towards the canteen to find my colleagues already eating and chatting with their friends.


    I ordered myself a grilled sandwich and Orange juice and went to sit with them.


    "Hey Sang why are youte today?" Jade one of my colleague asked.


    "Oh it''s nothing I was busy" I said taking a bite from my sandwich.


    "Oh" she muttered and continued eating her Chinese.


    Jade was a redhead girl with slim figure but she was three to four inch smaller than me. She had this


    charming smile which would make every guy fall on her feet but unfortunately she was married and her


    husband Nathan Mason also worked as the ountant Manager in our Bank.


    "Hey we are nning on going to this new club out of the city this Saturday. Do you want to join?"


    Nichs one of my colleague asked excitedly.


    "Club?" I asked raising an eyebrow.


    "Yup club. It''s a new club and as we all are tired working everyday we have decided to give it a little


    visit this Saturday" Chloe chirped pping her hands.


    Chloe was also a Secretary but to Mr. Lanchaster who was from the HR department. Chloe was a


    blonde with chubby figure but she was quiet tallpared to normal girls.


    "Okay? So who actually ising?" I asked sipping from my juice.


    "Me" Chloe said excited.


    "Me too and Nathan too" Jade said eating her Chinese.


    "Count me in too" Margaret said raising her hands.


    "Me too" Nichs chirped like a girl.


    "And me too" a voice said from behind me and all of our heads turned behind me to find Jack Winston


    smirking down at us.


    Jack Winston was a bulky guy with grey eyes. He stood tall with 6 feet height and he worked under the


    HR department. He was famous as a yer in Theller''s International and while most of the girls


    swooned over his looks, the girls in our group totally disliked him.


    I even came to hear that Margaret and him had a thing few years ago but now Margaret hated his very


    presence.


    "You are not in our group and nobody asked you toe with us so leave" Margaret said ring at


    him. Her blue eyes filled with hatred and her demeanor changed to cold all of a sudden.


    "Rx sweetie you don''t need to be rude" Mike, Margaret''s boyfriend said calmly holding her hand.


    Mike was always a calm and reserved man. I never saw him angry once and there was this smile


    always on his face which would melt anybody''s anger.


    "Yeah you don''t need to be rude" Jack said sweetly who was of course fake ring at Mike.


    "He can join us right?" Jade asked raising her eyebrows. Though she hated Jack''s gut she believes


    that everyone deserves a second chance regardless of how reckless they had once been. She has


    always thought that if given a chance, jack will turn out to be nice guy, but me, I disagreed with that bull


    shit. A jerk will always remain a jerk and a yer will always remain a yer. My new mantra. This is


    what helps me to keep Mr Theller in my forbidden and not allowed list no matter how enticing he is.


    "Fine!" Margaret muttered and leaned against Mike.


    "Great so see you all Saturday night" Jack smirked and eyed me, his eyes lingering on me far more


    than necessary making me ufortable.


    I cleared my throat which caused him to break out of his daydream and finally he walked away shoving


    his hands into his pant pockets with a smirk stered on his face.


    "What''s with that smirk?" Chloe asked and I shrugged my shoulders.


    "So are youing?" Mike asked me and nced at him giving him a small smile " Sure why not?"


    and with that I continued eating my food enjoying my remaining little break.
