FORBIDDEN LOVE
CHAPTER 1
*Hayley Silver*
I'm in love with my boss but who could blame me. He is sinfully handsome that it should be illegal.He has jet black hair,pink lips and a jaw so sharp it could cut through glass.No one knows that I'm in love with him because if they did my job would have been long gone .
Today is Monday and l have to go to work, ugh worst day of the week .I wore a black slack ,with a white shirt and topped it off with a blazer .I didn't want to come home with my feet hurting so l wore loafers .My job can be a bit demanding sometimes, being a personal assistant is not an easy job.
I heard a car horn outside.That must be Jeff ,my personal driver who was hired by my boss because he doesn't want me to come late.He comes to pick me up everyday at 7 am sharp .l locked my door and made my way to the car
Me: Good morning Jeff
Him: Morning miss Silver
Me:let's go
That's how far our conversation goes everyday ,I don't know why .Most of the time l tell him to call me by my name but he just doesn't listen so l just let it be .
15 minutes later we pulled up at the office and l got out
Me: Goodbye Jeff
Jeff:See you later miss Silver
With that said he drove off .As l was about to walk in Mr Vestav my boss was getting out of his car and his side was Clara ,his girlfriend who l happen to hate by the way partly because she is with Mr Vestav but mostly because she can be such a nuisance.She stuck to him like glue which is totally unnecessary because Mr Vestav only focuses on his work not women which is one of the things l like about him.
I made my way to them
Me: Good morning Mr Vestav, Good morning Miss Clara
Him: Morning Miss Silver
Miss Clara didn't answer , she just clicked her tongue and left
See ,she is a nuisance
Him: Don't mind her we have a lot to do
Me: it's ok ,l know how she is.
Him:ok then let's go , what's on my schedule today
Me:You have a meeting from 8 to 11 and You are to have lunch with Mr Sanders .
Him: Clara's dad (he frowned) .Cancel it
Me:But l might lose my job
Him:You won't
I stopped when we had reached the office and opened the door for us.We shared the same office which maybe that's why Clara thought something was going on between us (I wish)but it was strictly business.Mr Sanders expressed his displeasure a lot of times but Mr Vestav wasn't having any of it reason being that he didn't want me to slack off as if l could ,l have too much work to slack off
I sat on my desk and he sat on his and we began working.Nothing was said for a long time which I've gotten used to.
Me:Sir it's time for the meeting
Him: Already let's go
Me: Aren't we supposed to wait for Miss Clara
Him:She is late ,she will catch up to us
Me:ok
*Miss Clara Sanders*
That girl irks me so much,l don't know why . When she greeted me l felt like slapping her for some reason.I see the way Tristan looks at her and how he treats her, like she is his girlfriend or something.l have to get rid of her one way or another
I was just in my office browsing on the Interview when I noticed that it was already 8.05.Oh my God Tristan was going to be mad at me.
I knocked on his office but no one answered .l guess they already left ,oh well I should go back to my office and browse .
I was lost in thought when he barged into my office and he looked very angry
Him:Why didn't you come to the meeting
Me:I forgot I'm sorry
Him: You forgot such an important meeting
Me:I was busy
Him: Sign those papers l need them in 20 minutes (he threw them at me
Me: okay
He left without a word.l don't get why he is so mad it's not like both of us were needed at the meeting and anyway he will get over it with time
*Hayley Silver*
Miss Clara didn't come to the meeting today which was very unprofessional of her .It took us months to convince these people to sign a deal with us and she just decided not to come .Mr Vestav was very furious but he didn't show it .We were able to complete the meeting without her but still she had to be there.After the investors left he just took off I'm guessing to miss Clara's office.I decided not to pry and went to do my job
He came back after some time and sat down
Him:Miss Silver
Me:Yes
Him: Let's go
Me:Where
Him:To have an early lunch
Me:but you have to meet Miss Clara's dad
Him:I told you to cancel that lunch so cancel it
Me:ok so what am l going to tell him
Him:You will figure it out ,you always do
Me:ok
I took the phone and called Mr Sanders and man he was furious but isn't he used to it by now .Mr Vestav cancels like every meeting between them but he just keeps on insisting
Mr Vestav:Did you tell him
Me:Yes
Him:them let's go
We went to a BiteBuzz ,a restaurant l would not dream to go to even if l just won a lottery.I screamed expensive just from the outside so l never thought I would go in there until today.The host escorted us to our seats and handed us the menu's
Host:Call me if you're ready to order
Me:ok
Mr Vestav: Order anything you want,my treat
Me:I have a question
He didn't look at me
Him:ok what is it
Me:Why did you take me here
Him:to eat obviously
Me:But don't you usually have lunch with Miss Clara
Him:I don't feel like being with her today
Me:oh
Him:Are you ready to order
Me:I don't know what to get
Him:then let me order for you
Me:ok
He gave the order and our dishes came a little later .We were eating in silence when l noticed him staring at me
Me:is there something on my face
Him:No
Me: Oookay
Him:When is the Conference in Ocean View
Me:You're to leave this Friday and come back on Sunday.
Him:ok l want you to come with me
Me:Can l ask why
Him: You're my personal assistant that's why .Book the hotel for us and take care of everything we will need during our stay there
Me:ok sir
Him:If you are done let's go
He paid our bills and we went back to the office only to find Miss Clara standing at the gate looking very angry.l don't know how it happened but she slapped me hard across the face
Her:You witch
Mr Vestav: What did she do that you're calling her a witch
Her:She bewitched you that's why you're not paying attention to me and going out with her
Mr Vestav:Did you ever think that it's all your fault before blaming others
Miss Clara:is this because I didn't attend that meeting,if so then I'm sorry
Mr Vestav:no and you know it ,now apologize
Miss Clara:never
She just left
Mr Vestav:I'm sorry
He caressed my cheek so softly as if he was afraid to hurt me
Him: let's go to the doctor
Me:it's not that bad l just need an icepack and it will be fine
It was only then when l noticed that people were looking at us with curious eyes probably looking for something to gossip about.
Me:I will go get an ice pack
Him: Don't worry about it,I will go get it
Me:it's ok
Mr Vestav:Miss Silver what did l say about opposing everything l say
Me: You said not to do it
Him: Good now go to the office and wait for me there
Me:ok
I went into the office and sat down on the couch staring into space .Mr Vestav was making it hard for my feelings for him not to increase.When he does things like that does he know what it does to me.Just then Judy (my best friend )came into my office.
Judy:I saw boss leaving so tell me what happened
Me:With what
Her:I saw miss Clara slap you
Me:she thinking I'm trying to steal he boyfriend
Her:Are you
Me:No l would never do that
Her:I know how you feel about him
Me:I do like him but he belongs to her and l have long accepted it
Her:oh babe ,life is not fair
Me:I know but what can we do
Her:I think it's time you do something about it ,you also need to be happy
Me: What do you suggest l do
Her:Go along with whatever he is doing and see how it goes
Me:ok but
Her:I will come to your house later tonight,we can finish this conversation then
Me:ok no now go he might come back and you will be in trouble
Her:ok see you
With that said she left .Mr Vestav came in a few seconds later holding an icepack and handed it to me
Mr Vestav:How are you feeling
Me:I will survive
Him:I'm so sorry I didn't think she would slap you
Me:it's ok
Him:no it's not she hit you for no reason and it's unacceptable,I will make sure she faces the consequences
Me:Pliz don't do anything without thinking it through
Him:I won't , come let's me take you home
Me: it's not time to go home yet
Him:l know but I'm giving you a half day and besides there is nothing scheduled for today
Me:Ok ,l will call Jeff
Him: Don't bother he went to do something for me so l will take you home
Me:but l
Him: what did I say
Me:not to oppose everything you say
Him: Good now let's go
Our office's are transparent so when we passed by Miss Clara's office she glared at me so much that l could feel her eyes until we got to the parking lot
He didn't seem to need directions because he drove me straight to my apartment
Me:l will see you tomorrow Mr Vestav
Him:Goodbye Miss Silver
