I Hate To Love You

It was eight at night. The work was always busy at Richmond Industries. With the last document stapled Aliza releases a huge sigh and walks to the CEO's office with the file in her hand.

When she knocked at the entrance there came a deep voice from her boss "Come in". The room was eerily dark when she opened the door. Aliza looked around the place in a panic.

Suddenly there was a spark of light through a lighter followed by a puff of smoke from his lips. He had lit a cigarette. Aliza works as a secretary cum personal assistant to the notorious businessman, the most feared mafia leader, and underworld don Charles Rodriguez, the CEO of Richmond Industries.

"Aren't you paid well here Aliza?" His voice was smooth but she knew well the menace behind those effortless words. Aliza had been working for Charles Rodriguez for the last three years. Her feat trembled in fear analyzing his possible conclusion.

"Answer me damn it! Aren't you paid here well?" His voice echoed between the silent walls of the dark room in a deathly gear. Aliza jumped on her legs in fright and trembled in her speech. "Ye....yes sir."

"Then why did you sell our quotation of dock supplies to Reymond Industries?" Aliza went pale at the lethal intonation of her boss. She gulped heavily and told him in a shivering voice. "Sir, I....it wasn't me. I did not know...."

"Then what is this?" A bunch of papers made contact with her face flying in the air and the next second he was in front of her like a fiend filled with vengeance. Aliza felt she was going to lose her consciousness in pallid after assimilation of the pernicious aura of her deleterious boss.

"Stop the babbling nonsense." He yelled in her face. His features turned redder and his eyes dropped the wild tornadoes. A shiver ran down Aliza's spine drinking in the dangerous aura of her demon boss.
