Oh no!
Or could it be that...yeah everything seemed to make sense now. She must definitely have been lured to work in that Company.
She can't remember applying for a job in that Company in the past. But being invited without applying surprised her in the past but no more.
She had accepted the privilege to work in such a large corporation that she saw it as an opportunity that came to her on the platter of gold.
"...Miss Ella...is everything alright?" James asked. He just introduced her to the boss and she seemed not to even notice. She was supposed to say hello to the boss.
The CEO also just stood staring at her with a cold expression. Had they met in the past or had she also been lain by him?
Since he couldn't ask the CEO if he was alright for staring at the new employee with so much irritation in his eyes, he asked Ella instead.
"Yes..ah... off course.." Ella stammered. She was too dazed to have heard anything the manager had said. She glanced at him briefly and wore a forced smile.
"…"James grunted. Indeed she's alright. Whatever, that's her business. Whatever she has to settle with the boss, she can go ahead and do that.
For goodness sake, the CEO insisted that they offer her a job without applying. Truly there was a vacancy but there were other applicants.
He specifically ordered him to invite Ella for an interview and then offer her the job. There is definitely something fishy about the whole situation.
No wonder when the interview couldn't hold the previous day, he was furious and ordered him to call her and tell her to come around the next day.
"You may leave James," Alex ordered. For once his eyes had not blinked since he locked eyes with Ella. He can imagine the turmoil in her mind already.
"Yes, boss" James bowed slightly and glanced at Ella with a careful look. He walked out and shut the door behind him.
Alex stood up majestically and walked to stand a few inches away from Ella. At this time, the latter couldn't raise her head. She intertwined her fingers and looked down.
He stood and stared at her and next walked round her before chuckling softly. He didn't say anything yet but came over to stand in front of her.
"Welcome to hell" he bellowed.
As Ella returned to her office, she was still shivering. He is Alex Foster? The popular billionaire Alex? She didn't know him in the past nor what he looked like.
She's only heard about his name but doesn't know what he looks like. In fact, she cared less about these big names in New York.
No wonder he demanded an apology from her. He is the rumoured arrogant brat that everyone seemed afraid of crossing him?
He was so intimidating a while ago. The kind of aura coming from him was too domineering. This is just too much.
She was still trying to calm herself when Alex pressed the button to summon her. She sighed softly and stood up. She got to the office and the latter just ignored her.
She ended up standing at a spot for an hour. Her legs were almost getting sore in her high heels and her knees were tired already.
When Alex was eventually going to instruct her, he said "pick that pen on the floor" without looking up at her.
Ella opened her mouth to rebuke him but closed it again. Her mother had told her to try as much as she can to stay away from trouble.
He summoned her and made her stand up for an hour only for him to tell her to pick his pen from the floor. This isn't making sense at all.
Anyways she went close to him and picked the pen. She placed it on his desk and turned to go "Are you crazy, who asked you to put the pen in the desk?" He thundered.
Without another word, Ella quickly picked the pen and held it in her hand. Stretch it to Alex but the latter just ignored her.
With her stretched out,she remained there for another forty minutes until there was a knock on the door.
He asked whoever is at the door to come in and two figures soon arrived. Festus walked in ahead of Lisa.
When they both came in, they were shocked. But the reason why they looked dazed was different from each other.
Festus was surprised how he soon came across the lady who slapped Alex across the face. He never expected to see her after just a few days let alone seeing her before Alex.
Lisa was surprised as well that the lady she met the previous day was already employed by the company. How soon they will meet again.
"Place it on the desk" Alex commanded and Ella did so. This man is mean. She had stood for too long that day. He knew he was still going to place the pen on his desk and yet, he kept her standing for so long.
She was going to leave when Lisa blocked her path. She looked at her with utmost hatred in her eyes. She felt like scratching her face with her long nails.
But she dares not behave irrationally before Alex otherwise, the latter will lash out at her. The already tired Ella just gave a glaring stare before walking around her and went away.
"Alex, you are a bad guy. How did she end up here?" Festus asked, with curiosity in his eyes. He had underestimated his friend. He knew he wouldn't forgive easily but never expected to meet the girl in his office.
"She's become an employee of this company" Alex replied with a sinister smile on his face. He doesn't need to explain everything.
Festus will understand why she suddenly started working in the Foster cooperation. He told him he would deal with the girl and he has just begun.
Festus just shook his head. He can imagine how miserable the girl's life would become while working with Alex. But why did she accept the job offer?
Or could it be that she didn't know the man she offended is a foster? Alex Foster for that matter. His cruelty will be lashed out to her in a full measure.
"How did you do it? She accepted working with you?" Festus demanded, settling himself into the sofa and Lisa going to give Alex a peck on his chin.
"She's not so important for us to discuss. She's become an employee and that's all that matters" Alex flippantly replied. It's obvious he doesn't want to talk about her.
Lisa didn't say anything. The same lady provoked her the previous day. Alex was not happy with what she did hence she doesn't want to cause a change in his mood.
Ella returned to her office and sank into her chair. What sort of a man is Alex? He's a bastard and inhuman in his behaviour. She knew it that he was going to torture her.
Her legs were sore, especially her feet. She sure knew if she had stood there for another ten minutes, she might faint. What sort of thing is this, is this the hell he welcomed her into?
When Ella arrived home that evening, her mother was eager to know how her first day at her new job was. She beamed with a megawatt smile when she saw her daughter.
Ella had made up her mind not to mention those unpleasant experiences she had with her mom. It would break her heart.
Smiles and excitement are contagious. Ella was all smiles as she saw her mother cheerful looks. She narrated how great the company is and the employees were all friendly.
They interacted with her as if they've known her for ages. The atmosphere was conducive and her salary was twice of what she earned as a waitress.
She said the pleasant parts and deliberately omitted her experience with the boss. She knew she was in with that damn arrogant Mr Foster but she would accept her fate and work with him.
"Someone came to check on you when you were at work"
