He slammed the door shut as he went outside. I was still on the dining table with the spoon still on my mouth.
I stayed there still fir a while. I guess I was hoping for his return. But the door didn’t opened for a long time so I went to the kitchen and throw the dishes there and return to my bed.
I think about the things happened just a while ago. Mr. Gold was totally a different person when no one is around.
While thinking about him I don’t know when I drifted into sleep. Tomorrow morning when I got up, it was clearly late. The sun was shining brightly everywhere and it’s Ray’s seemed to so anxious to came inside the house. It was entering from even the smallest bit of gap. It was making the whole house lively and warm.
I looked around and stretched my arms on bed. The whole house felt empty without Camila’s noise. It felt as it has lost it’s color when it was so clean and tidy without her. I got up the bed and went to the washroom trying to wash away those thoughts. But it won’t go so easily. Even though I use my soap again and again, I didn’t felt home.
I came out and opened the wardrobe. The clothes were also in place. I shook my head as I took a clothes and wear it. I went in front of the mirror and dry my hair. I let those be hang down and then put on some skin care. After I was all done, I went to the kitchen and made some breakfast for Mr Gold and me. He asked me to make it last night.
It was a good thing he wasn’t picky at all and he would eat anything we gave him or cook for him. I quickly make breakfast and waited for him to come. It was already more than half an hour when he finally rang the doorbell. I quickly ran to the door as soon as it rang. I reached my hands to open it but I stopped myself midway. Won’t I look so desperate if I go and open it now. Let him wait for a while.
He kept knocking on the door. And I stood inside the door holding myself back from opening it. After few minutes passed, I opened the door.
Mr. Gold seemed livid. His eyes had fire in them. “Good morning Mr. Gold” I greeted him with a bow.
“Are you so busy to open the door? ” He asked angrily.
I shook my head quickly and said in a stammering voice “No.. Not I was just making some breakfast”
“Cooking doesn’t mean you can’t hear.” I answered him thinking he would leave me but he wouldn’t let go.
“Yeah it can. No.. ” I spoke nervously “I was just listening to music so loud.”
His frown decreased bit by bit and he had no more wrinkles on his forehead. Just then there was a continuous beep at my phone. I nervously look around and ran to my bed where I kept it a while ago.
When I came back from the bedroom. Mr. Gold was still there but his eyes seemed like having mudurer intent in them. I smiled at him but I know I look like a creeo right now since I was sweating.
“You said you were listening to music just now in the kitchen. Didn’t you?” he asked. And i nodded in his answer. I was embarrassed as I got caught. I thought I was going to be killed for sure.
“So, how did your phone went back to bedroom? ” he asked.
Now this time it was really tough. It was one of the question that I would like to skip. I sighed and opened my mouth to say something more but I couldn’t. His eyes were so angry right now.
“Whatever” he said as he went and sat down on dining table. I went inside and took them out to the dining table. I put the food one by one on the table.
I then sat next to him so that I also eat but he glared at me with red eyes. I quickly got up and stood aside.
“Sit this side” he pointed at another chair at another side of him. It was so annoying but I have no choice. I went to the seat he pointed and sat down there. He then passes me my plate. We both eat the food in silence. I was peeking him from time to time. He looked different and bright. He looked handsome ..
Soon the food was done and he went back to his appartment to get dressed for the office. I also went through the closet to get myself something to wear.
When I was done, I came out of the room and saw that Liam was there to pick Me Gold up. I bowed to him “Good morning secretary Liam”
“Good morning Riley” he also return my bow.
“Here to take Mr Gold to the company?”I asked even though I know it was yes I the answer.
And then I wanted to walk out if the building but suddenly Liam said “Why don’t you just wait for us. We can go together and I’ll drop you before the company. ” Liam said. And to be honest , I wanted to be around Mr Gold as more as possible. I nooded at him and waited for Mr Gold at his door. I knocked on the door twice but there was no movement inside.
I knocked again and then I’m a while, Mr Gold appeared in sweat pants only. His cheat was bare. I got panicked and turned away. This was so gross. Why does he have to be like this . Why does he have to be naked all the time I met him.
“Why are you naked again? ” I screamed.
“Don’t worry Riley. He still had his pants on” Liam said from behind.
I felt hot all over the body in embarrassment. “I’ll go by myself” I said as I ran out of the building. I was walking on the compound and seeing for a cab to reacj to the company. The bus stop was a bit far and I don’t want to go there.
I was walking ahead thinking of this usual tension when a car pulled up next to me. Inside Liam and Mr Gold was there. Liam was at the front seat and Mr Gold was at the back. He opened the door for me. I don’t wanted to go but they were still there with the door of the back seat open.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit akward. Everone was silent. I was looking out of the car as long as I could. When i couldn’t hold myself. I will turn to Mr Gold and took a glance if him.
Soon we reached at the corner just ahead of the Company. I got off the car and the car went on driving on the road. I then walked to my company. My company was not that far from here that was why I got off here.
When i reached the office at the top floor for my work Jack, Bray and Tyson were waiting for me.
“Hi Riley ” Bray waved his hand as soon as he saw me. Oh God where was I stuck. Why did I be friends with him in the first place.
“Hello” I nodded at them and tried to go to the office. But suddenly they came to me and begin to extend their hand to shooj their hands with me. I was hesitant at first but then I felt like he was a just a friend anyway.
I also reached out my hand towards him when I feel a big and dark shadows lurking behind me. I stopped my hand and stay there frozen as everyone around mr bowed and said “Good morning Mr Gold. ” they all started flattering hin.
I slowly turned my head as he looked at me with furious eyes. Then he ignored me and went in to his office.
“I’ll talk to you later people. I need to go now. My job is danger” I said running towards Mr Gold’s office.
“See you Riley” they all waved their hands to her.
I was stopped rightin front of the office door. I knocked on the door softly and asked “May I came in sir? ”
There was no response but I eventually entered the office. I saw Mr Gold and Liam was talking about something in a corner. I went up to my table just to find a paper on it.
