Gabrielle POV
Gabrielle was having one of those mornings ,you know the kind where you spill coffee on your favorite blouse ,step into a puddle , and realizing your phone battery is dead before even reaching the office. But none was compared to what awaited her at the gorvell enterprises.
As she walked into sleek, glass building , she couldn't help but feel like a deer caught in the headlights. The lobby was buzzing with the kind of energy that screamed money, and there he was Matthew gorvell the infamous CEO everyone whispered about - tall , brooding and with a gaze that could freeze the lava!.
"Gabrielle, the new assistant" she reminded trying to herself to muster some confidence . She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and straightened her blazer , only to realize she looked like she was auditioning for "what not to wear" episode.
"Welcome " a voice dripped with sarcasm from behind a mahogany desk. Matthew didn't even look up from his laptop "Try not to trip your way to my office. I prefer not to clean after clumsy mortals ".
Great! The legend lived up to his reputation. The truth is when I got a job offer at gorvell enterprises I was offered a contract it specified that the CEO had special situation , as if dodging a bloodsucking CEO was my job, I rolled my eyes.
" Did you just roll your eyes at me mortal? " A chilling voice boomed in the office.
" Damn , how did i forget I was Infront of the century old vampire "I internal scold myself
I stepped foward my fear rising and I was shivering from intensity of his voice" I'm sorry sir I... I was just... "
" Save it! And do what you are here for! Bring my coffee! "He cut me his voice tinged with anger and authority
" Yes sir! I'll go now" I quickly stormed out of his office my breath caught in my throat.
Damn! Is this how I'm going to survive the cold blood sucking vampire!. I went to the girl I found outside his office at her cube to ask about the pantry to make coffee.
" Hey girl! I'm the new assistant Gabrielle and I was asking where the pantry is? "I asked the girl, but what did the girl do? She freaking rolled her eyes at me!! What did I do to her!
She stood up and glared at me " the second door from here, you can go and don't waste my time newcomer you won't last here just like the other! "
Great! On my first day I managed to piss off the CEO and I just got my first ever enemy!. I sighed and went to the pantry to make a coffee and proceed to his office.
I entered the office which at first I didn't notice, damn! He has such a gorgeous office warm unlike his personality, while I was in my world thinking about his office a cold voice boomed pulling me out of my daydream.
"Did you knock, miss Gabrielle? Or this your fucking bedroom to enter whenever you please, mortal?"
I cursed inwardly then responded "no sir I'm sorry I was not con...." I didn't even finish before he cut me again! How will I survive this damn vampire I wish I could beat his ass to my satisfaction!
"Get out! Knock again!" He snapped, his veins popping out of his neck his eyes turned slightly red. I was nearly shitting my skirt, he was controlling himself from sucking my blood and killing me on spot!.
In second I was out of his office standing outside his office door, I took a long breath then knocked once and I was met with silence, I knocked again and he muttered an enter. I entered the office and put his black coffee on his desk Infront of him, he looked at the coffee then turned his eyes at me, his brow furrowing.
"Did I not specify a bloodred espresso, miss Gabrielle?" He asked
Bloodred espresso? What's that? I asked myself internally
"You didn't sir! By the way what is bloodred espresso sir? I never heard of it"? I cautiously ask the brooding and fuming vampire Infront of me.
He pressed the intercom and yelled "Clara, in my office now!!" Be then turned to me "you're lucky this is your first day or else you would need a blood transfusion this instant, get out!"
I bolted out of the office my breath came ragged, I stood Infront of the elevator and pressed furiously and the door opened revealing a young man stepping out of it. I wanted to enter but he caught my hand and pulled me back.
"Hey what's wrong?" He asked softly . He had emerald green eyes contrary to Matthew Ocean blue eyes. Ugh! Why am I thinking of him now
"I'm fine it's just that it's my first day and my boss is giving me a hard time" I said
He sighed "which department are you in? I can talk to your boss"
"You would talk to boss? No you wouldn't!" I exclaimed.
"Who's your boss then?" He asked his eyes narrowing down at me
"The CEO" I muttered gently
He coughed furiously "CEO? as in Matthew? You're the new assistant?"
I nodded
He scratched his nose "damn! I'm sorry I'm Julian his personal secretary and his best friend as well as his brother from another mother "he winked
" Oh! Nice to meet you Julian , I'm Gabrielle "I introduced myself
He nodded " let's go and reprimand this stupid CEO, don't worry I can handle him " he said and I was having a hard time believing that because Matthew nearly sucked dry my blood!.
He seemed to see my confused face he quickly put his hands around my shoulder and whispered in my ear " he's afraid of me don't worry, I once kicked his eyes"
Before I could respond to his sentence a cold ruthless voice boomed behind us "is that the truth?"
We turned to find the voice and met with Matthew cold face that could freeze our ass off
Julian cursed softly "damn I forgot he has sharp hearing, stupid damn vampire!"
"I CAN STILL HEAR YOU JULIAN" his voice boomed across the hallway.
I cursed under my breath " damn we're cooked, shit!"
