Roxanne
Oh God! Yawning for the hundredth time, I closed the files. I didn't eat in the morning and now he denied me my lunch on my first day .
My stomach grumbled while I sighed. How will I be able to arrange all this meetings before closing time? What am I even saying, Rex already told me I will do extra time...
I went back to calculating his free time to set the numerous appointments but I couldn't concentrate. My stomach won't let me, I feel so hungry right now..
I can't take it anymore, I can't kill myself all in the name of work. If I slump and die now who will take care of Cory and Zoey?
Rex can't kill me can he? I stood up with my body visibly shaking. It's 4pm and I still haven't eaten. What sort of wicked instruction was that?
That I have to finish my work before I can eat, the work I won't be able to finish today...
I stood up and headed to Julia. I need to eat, I don't want to die now..
" Roxanne I didn't see you at lunch, why?" She asked . Maybe we can be friends
" I was just busy with work, Mr control freak asked me not to anyways but I want to eat now "
" Seriously? Mr control freak?" She asked laughing . The name suits him very well
" Don't let him hear that and the cafeteria is down there " she pointed while I nodded...
I have to be quick or better still buy a take away .
Rex can be very annoying and I don't want him getting my ass fired ...
Forget the insults this morning, I only endured because of one thing if not, trust me. I won't let anyone insult me . Not even my ex . That pighead....
What does he thinks of himself? Because he's the CEO he wants to control everyone under him? No not everyone, me. I'm sure he hates me for what I am innocent of .
Rex
Even after 7years, she's still as gawky as she used to be. She's really a clown
Roxanne used to be my girlfriend, she was my everything. I loved her, u cherished her like I ought to.
The way I felt for her, I have never felt for anyone. That's why I am still single up till now, the media believes am I a gay but I'm not.
My world was shattered when I knew she was cheating on me with my younger brother. I was broken, I trusted both of them. Marcus was my only brother and I loved him but he betrayed me by taking away the one thing that means a lot to me .
He knows how much I love Roxanne, still he stabbed me at the back ..
He was dating my girlfriend, the only lady I was madly in love with...
They both tried to explain what I saw them doing. I mean who does that? Making out with my brother and you want to explain? I mean what exactly?
I couldn't bear the pain, the ache was unbearable and so I broke up with her. It was a wrong but right decision because it was hard to...
And Marcus, we aren't close as we used to be. Hell! We can never have that bond again .
And now, she is here working with me. I will make her miserable for what she did to me 7years ago. As much as I still have a soft spot for her, I hate her ...
I hate her for creating the mentality of all women are same, nothing but gold diggers like her ...
I was afraid of going into another relationship because of heartbreak, the fear of the past repeating itself won't let me...
Sorry my mistake!
Am I Rex Kings, I will be turning 27 next month. The current CEO of our family's company in New York while Marcus works in Netherland, we have our company there too and he comes home occasionally...
I have an elder sister Eva. I live with my parents but I have my penthouse I stay during week days..
Am I a workaholic, I love working and I am very cool with people even my employees ... But Roxanne, she will have quit when the humiliation becomes unbearable

I walked to the window and caught a glimpse of her eating in the cafeteria. What the hell? I'm sure I gave her lots of work so she won't have lunch. Have she finished it up?
I hastily went to my sit and picked her file, taking her number.
I stared at her with the phone on my ear ringing but she isn't picking up. She was so focused on the whatever food she was eating ... Is she that hungry?
Ah! She picked after the third ring.
📞 Hello.
Her voice echoed in. How much I missed it
📞 Will you stop shouting Miss Williams? Did you want to break my eardrum?
I asked coldly while watching her, her face dropped and she stood up immediately..
📞 Rex..no I mean Mr Kings, I'm sorry...
📞 To my office in 2minutes ..
I instructed and hung up... I saw her picking up her bag plus a nylon and began making her way to the elevator.
That's what I want, I want her to be afraid of me. As long as she continue to work here, she will never have peace of mind..
Roxanne
I just hope he didn't see me eating. Wait! Even if he does, he won't do any damn thing than to fire me, reduce my salary or give me extra work....
I didn't forget to take my food along with me though. I quickly dropped it in my office before coming to his ..
" I gave you 2minutes to be here Miss Williams but you spent 5minutes. Can't you be conscious of your time? " He snapped. What's with him and getting mad at me ? It's just my first day and it looks like a year already..
" I'm sorry Mr Kings, the elevator stopped and I had to wait " I lied clearly..
" That's a stupid excuse Miss Williams, I thought I gave you an instruction?" He asked while I nodded.. oops!
" yes sir " I quickly replied
" Good, I believe you are through with the work I gave you " he said without glancing at me ..
" Uh... uhhm no sir "
" And you left it to eat? Did you know how important that is?"
" Yes sir but I was hungry, I had to eat "
" How does that have to be my business Miss Williams? Does this looks like a place were you can fill your stomach with food?" He asked and I kept mute...
" You don't come here to play with your job, this is not a relationship arena where you toil with people's heart and jumping from different guys" he said with a cold expression and my heart clenched.
What is he trying to say? That I am a heart breaker? And a slut? That hurts! I Am can he anything but not that...
How can he? He even thinks low of me to that stage?
Tears welled up my eyes, I hate to be belittled ..
Rex
Okay! That was extreme... I couldn't have said that... Seeing her she'd tears supposed gladden my heart but no, I feel guilty...
" The fact that you own this company doesn't give you the effontry to abuse me Mr Kings . What did you expect me to have done? Die of hunger because of your business? I am not a heart breaker neither am I a slut "
" If you are judging me from what happened 7years ago then you need a mental checkup. You never gave me a chance to explain myself and you think you can humiliate me with it? "
" You were so blinded by cowardice that you chose to ignore me even after I pleaded with you "
" You know what? You can think of anything you want Mr Kings " with that she turned the knob in tears and left....
That was harsh! It's true I never gave her the chance to explain nor my brother. What do they have to say? That it was a mistake?
She was my girlfriend for godsake and I caught her kissing my brother, I mean my very own brother....
If it was any other person, they will react the way I did ...
I don't have to listen to her, she's a gold digger. Who knows if she wasn't after our money..
She broke the the relationship I had with Marcus and she thinks her tears will affect me?
I can't get over it. The scene kept flashing in my head..
" I hate you Roxanne Williams "
