The new CEO
ELENA'S POV.
" Get into the formation properly ", Justin's voice boomed across the training ground . " You are too slow Elena ", He directed a negative comment at me for the hundredth time this evening . I was doing better than most but he continued to criticize every move l made . Anger pumped through my body as I pushed myself to go more faster but I couldn't.
" More faster Elena ", He continued to yell as I ran and this time l regretted why I even joined . I decided to run all because of my best friend Cassie . She was a model and this is what she did every evening . She always ran with different people in the field in order to be fit . As a friend I always escorted her , did training which was all fine but then today l realized it late that my ex boyfriend Justin was the one acting as our coach.
I tried to run again though l was hearing whispers sniggering behind me . They were all wondering why he was only yelling at me , no body knew that he was my ex . " Fuck this am done with this ", I inwardly facepalmed when I heard him yell at me again. I wasn't even working in a modelling company so this was all useless to me .
" No more running ", I wasn't ready to take this shit anymore. At least not from that bastard. He was obviously picking up on me all because l broke up with him . Stopping dead in my tracks , l didn't dare look at his face as l started to walk off the field . " ELENA ", His voice sounded full of rage but I didn't care . This was totally enough . I came in peace but now things had turned bad .
Before l could make it off the field , l saw Cassie my best friend walk quickly towards me . " Elena ", she called me loudly as she tried to catch up with me . " Am sorry , l didn't know that he was going to assist Coach Peter ", she explained while catching up her breath . " It's fine , it's late let's go back home ", l replied uninterested.
" Let's go but John is gonna sleep over ", She uttered out as she walked towards the changing room . " I don't mind ", l shrugged my shoulders . John was her boyfriend and I didn't mind . Walking off from the field , l showered quickly then made my way to the bed giving space to Cassie and her boyfriend . I was already worn out and needed a rest.
" John fuck right there" ,
I groaned out and rolled on the other side of the bed . I tried to sleep again but the moaning got more louder than before . " Yes am about to cum , am cumming ... " , The cries got more louder. " Darn it ,my goodness " , Finding it unbearable l lastly jumped out of my bed. My sleep was already gone .
I got out of my room faster and made my way to the kitchen but still l could hear the moans . As l closed up the kitchen door , l inwardly tried to tell myself that my roommate and her boyfriend having sex was normal but still it was unbearable . " Okay , okay it's fine " , l murmured to myself before sipping down the glass of water .
After placing down the glass on the counter , l walked and sat down in the corner of the kitchen . With my current situation , it was better to stay with a nosy person than sleep on the cold streets . I had no money to afford renting my own apartment , so now I had to bear up with their sex noises .
Seated down on the floor , l tried not to fall asleep but as thoughts about my life flowed in my mind , l felt sleep slowly claim me . I knew it that in the morning , l will wake up with my neck aching but l didn't care . This was better than my past life . I used to sleep on cold cemented floors until when my roommate Cassie , pitied me and told me to stay with her .
Morning came to soon and as soon as the light lit up in the kitchen window , l instantly stood up from the floor . " Ouch ! " , I stretched my neck then made my way upstairs . As soon as I entered in my room , l made my way to the bathroom then showered quickly . After drying myself , l dressed up in my low rise jeans and a black t-shirt , they were so old that even the wording in the front was completely erased .
I left the restroom with every thing done but then as l beelined in the living room , my eyes fall on the lover birds . They were cuddling on the couch , whispering to each other in hushed tones and smiling . Seeing them like this , it brought a pang in my chest . It wasn't because I was jealousy . I just wanted to get too a caring person like Cassie got but then unfortunately love isn't for me , all the men just wave off at me.
" Anything you want Elena " , just as l was lost in my thoughts , Cassie's voice distracted me . " You could have resisted the urge to have sex until when l walk out" , l scolded but while putting up an act . She wasn't only my roommate but my best friend so I didn't care about her enjoying her life .
" I tried Elena trust me but it's just that the dirty talking got me all hot and bothered " , she purred and l fake gagged . " Urgh what a best friend , am soon getting my boyfriend too " , l replied and she showed me her tongue in response . " Stop doubting , anyway Breakfast is already in the kitchen" , I retorted . " Have a nice day " , she waved at me and then l stormed out of the house .
Out of the house , l made my way to the road to catch the timed bus . After boarding the bus , l got my phone and l started to scroll down my phone through a couple of slow romantic songs . I selected one of the songs of Selena Gomez then tilted my head and relaxed in my seat . Through out the whole drive , l was silent looking through the window as l listened to the music .
I kept staring at the different people and trees that blurred as the bus moved forward . They were different handsome hunks which l did like but unfortunately l was nothing to them . When the bus halted up , l speed walked out of it and made my way to the Evervess Company . I walked more fastly to the security line and then produced my ID card before briskly walking inside .
I took the elevator to the second floor and went into the bathroom . I changed into my uniform quickly , a white shirt and a black pencil skirt which stopped just above my knees . I currently got a job in Evervess company and l loved working there for some reason .
I checked myself in the mirror , took a deep breath then rushed to my place behind the desk . " Late again ? ", Just as l had sat down , the voice of my boss cut through the silence of the hall. " Yeah , just woke up to the same old morning routines " , l retorted while making my way to her office . I walked without any fear because Rachel my boss was my good friend . I have been working as her assistant manager for almost five months and she trusted me . I didn't earn much but still l liked the job .
" Good morning ", l greeted as soon as l entered in her office which screamed luxury . " Good morning too ", she gave me a small nod then gestured me to take a seat . I sat carefully as l watched her speak to someone on the phone . She talked for a pretty good time until when she turned to me with a frustrated look on her face.
" What's up madam ? ", I asked in a soft voice . " I need a favor Elena ", she said in a low voice . " Sure ? ", My ears perked up . " You know it that our boss Mr Spencer wants to retire , yesterday during the meeting he informed us that his old son , Nelly is going to be our new CEO ", she explained .
" That's cool ", l replied with a smile on my face because it didn't bother me . " It isn't cool , he is going to be right here in an hour and you going to be his PA ", My eyes dilated open when l heard her say that . " He is honestly harsh but you the first assistant who came up in my mind ", she continued and my mouth fall open in disbelief .
