Chapter 3

I got up and sat on the bed not knowing what to do. Before I could stand up, the bathroom door opened, spitting out Khyrron who was just lying on the bottom.

I looked down from the wet hair to the covered towel. I swallowed. He's hot.

"Stop staring." His cold baritone voice gets me back in my senses. I looked back at his face and saw his cold expression again.

He entered the closet and came out dressed. He's wearing loose faded black jeans and a plain black shirt. Simple but still hot.

He looked at me awkwardly. "Why are you sleeping with the plates not clean?" He asked coldly.

That's when I remembered what I left to wash. I wonder what time is it? I looked at the clock, it's already afternoon!? I slept that long. Sh't.

I quickly got up and went out. It would have continued to be washed away. When I turned to the door, there was Khyrron leaning against the door jamb.

I'm panicking that I didn't know what to do. In the end I looked at the table and grabbed the chair. I felt him coming in front of me.

"I'm talking to you and you just left me their Miss Savannah Galves!" His voice rises when he mentions my whole name.

I looked down and searched for words. "I-I'm sorry. I panicked."

"And what you sleep 6 hours again? Did you sleep enough last night? You're not a queen here Ms. Galves. You can just clean the house or find some work to do here."

"it's because-" Should I tell him? Maybe he won't use that as an excuse. He's heartless.

I just played with my hand to reduce the nervousness. When I looked at him, he looked at my hand.

He slowly came closer so I hid my hand behind my back and faced him.

He grabbed my hand, "What happened to your hand?" His eyebrows met as if he was angry.

I withdrew my hand from his grasp. "It's nothing." I looked away again.

He grabbed me and pulled me into the living room. He made me sit next to him.

He grabbed my hand again. He removed the band aid. "It's not from a knife. What happened Savannah?" He looked straight into my eyes.

I decided to just say it. "While I was washing I heard a gunshot, I was surprised so I let go of what I was washing." I paused when I heard him curse. "I pick it up before going to our room. Because I'm n-scared." I heard him curse again.

"Did something happen?" I shook my head. "Go to your room." He ordered.

I was going upstairs when I heard someone call him.

After a few minutes Khyrron entered the room and found me just sitting on the bed.

I looked up. "Did you ahm know if what is that sound? Maybe gun? Why?" I asked one after another but was more afraid of his aura.

"It's nothing." He answered simply.

I just held my breath. Even though I had an idea why, I was relieved because he was here. 'But didn't you say earlier that you were afraid of him?' I just don't know!

While Khyrron is at the veranda, I stop and go near him. The nervousness was ignored.

I was just outside the veranda, "Khyrron, can I uhm work?" I play with my fingers.

He faced me. "Work?" He asked as if there was something funny in what I said.

I look at him with confidence. "Yes, I graduated business management and I know I have the talent in business."

He chuckled. "Really? Is that why your company just got bankrupt?" Now that is an insult!

"I know I can do something but my parents didn't let me work."

"Or they don't trust you." He's really insulting me!

My fists are clenched. "My parents just love me." I looked away.

"Let's see what you can do. You have one chance to my company." Agreed as he passed me and left the room.

Tomorrow I will prepare for the first entry into the Sandovals' company. I'm excited for my first day. I won't be bored here anymore and I will prove to Khyrron that I can contribute too! I'm wearing a light pink blouse paired with a pencil skirt and three inches high heels.

I went down to the kitchen to eat when I caught up with Kyrron who was standing and holding the chair as if he was thinking deeply while drinking coffee.

I was careful when walking so that he wouldn't hear me but I took a step and he turned around. I stopped walking because of his gaze.

He looked at me from head to toe, "Change your clothes."

I looked down at my clothes. "B-but what I'm wearing is okay." I looked back at him again.

He leaned on the table. "It's to revealing, Ms. Galves you will work not attract."

I can't do anything anymore, I don't want to argue because I always lose to him! I changed my clothes in agreement with my eyebrows.

Too revealing!? My blouse is long sleeve and my skirt is just 2 inches above the knees for pete's sake! I can wear a gown.

I change my clothes, I wear black slacks paired with a white blouse. I just tied my long and wavy hair. Done! Maybe it's okay.

I came down quickly because I might get late and be scolded again. He was leaning over the sink when I arrived. I sat down and started eating what I cooked. He just drinks coffee and he's good to go but I'm really eating because my stomach doesn't like coffee.

I ate less because of his gaze. Then say, "Faster time is ticking." I didn't finish what I was eating and put it away.

Every step he took I couldn't match so the ending he got into his car and then I was left dumbfounded. What the fvck!?

He just lazily looked at me the viola he's gone. I just called a rented driver here. I quickly arrived at their company because there was no problem.

Upon entering, I turned around when a woman approached. "Ms. Galves right?" I nodded in response.

He guided me to the 15th floor of the building. He pointed to a cubicle ahead. The width is the same as the others.

I frowned. I'm now a Sandoval, but they're not calling me Ms. Galves. I laughed bitterly in my head. Then they won't give me my own office? I know I'm just starting, but I'm a wife, but this is the space and workplace that will be given to me? Wow!

"Uh Mr. Sandoval said this will be your cubicle." The woman on the side immediately explained to me because she must have seen the expression on my face.

I nodded. "It's okay. Thank you." It stood up and immediately left.

Others stood up to introduce themselves to me while others did not bother because they were busy. I gave them a simple smile.

When everyone returned, I also sat in my own seat. All the things needed for work are in my table.

Khyrron really don't have a heart to give me an office. Even if it was simple, but there really isn't. I just accepted it.

Hmmm where do I start? I have been given instructions that are for me. So I started working my ass off to forget my sadness. I like working.

I didn't realize it was lunch time. I found out that they suddenly stood up.

Then a group of men approached me.

"Hey want to have lunch with us?" One's nanny. I noticed that he was a bit shy so I smiled and agreed to reduce his shyness. Then his friends and his back cheered for him.

"By the way I'm Fred." I accepted his hand.

I stood up, "Uhm don't you have a girl with you?" I asked because it felt a little strange that I was the only girl with them.

He pointed out at the end, "Of course, they're just fixing something. Then they want to be friends too, they just didn't get close earlier because we were a bit busy." Fred's long statement.

"Oh thanks! " I'm happy because someone wants to be friends with me.

The three women came over and kindly introduced themselves, which I accepted.

Our break time is over which I didn't notice because of our happy conversation. They're fun to be with! They are also kind.

We're on the 15th floor but they're still talking and I'm just smiling. They have this positive vibe and I like it.

"Sav again later!" Fred said kindly.

I nodded and smiled at them while sitting. "Alright when you have time."

After 1 hour I didn't do anything anymore, just in time for Fred, James and Leo to go. We talked for a few minutes when they suddenly all stood up. Fred slowly stood up. Because I had my back to where they were facing, I was the last one to stand.

Then I saw three men, Khyrron and his secretary; Jane. Khyrron just looked at me as everyone greeted them. Jane gave them a wide smile.

"YOU ARE ALL HERE TO WORK NOT TO FLIRT WITH YOUR OFFICE MATE!" Khyrron's word bang that made me flinch.
