58- In her eyes memoriés

Mathew had to admit that she wasn't ugly, but she was no big deal to him either, used to stunning

women, with sculpted bodies and exotic faces. She had the biggest eyes he had ever seen and that

made him a little uncomfortable, the light blue color of her pupils was unique, like the sky, but on

a clear summer day, her lips were thin and delicately pink, her skin was so pale it looked almost

sickly, as if she had never been out in the sun, her nose was thin and upturned, dotted with a few

brown freckles, she had an expression of terror on her face that made his skin crawl. Strands of

her fiery hair fell in vertical lines across her face. Didn't she know a comb? She thought.

-Could you explain to me what you are doing in my office?" he demanded forcefully, startling the

woman and diverting her thoughts to the woman, "Are you following me?!

-No-no sir, that's not true, I'm here to....

-Are you one of those scammers who want to take my money? I'm not an idiot, I know how to

recognize one of yours....

Cassandra gritted her teeth and looked up at the arrogant man's face. The girl was not surprised to

meet almond-shaped eyes with pupils of a brownish color with tints of red, as if they were the

eyes of a demon that could pierce her skin and reach her soul. Cassandra swallowed saliva

nervously as she couldn't deny how elegant and beautiful he was, his ID photo didn't live up to his

face live and direct, his skin was a tan color that made her imagine that the ruthless man spent a

lot of time vacationing in Caribbean countries, his face was perfectly shaven, his skin looked

smooth and smooth worthy of someone of his class, with prominent cheekbones, pronounced jaw

and Greek nose, jet black hair perfectly cut on the sides and a little longer on top. He looked like

the perfect movie villain.

-That's not..." She tried to deny the accusation still stunned by the man's beauty.

-Get out of my office before I call the police. - He warned and stretched his long, slender arm

towards the door.

Cassandra stood up clutching the rag that dripped water, wetting her feet.

-I just came to clean up," she exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Mathew couldn't help but scoff with a grotesque chuckle, she looked pathetic.

-I can't believe that someone as dumb as you works in my company," he said.

Cassandra was astonished by the man's comment, she couldn't believe that someone so cruel

would be her boss.

-She also couldn't believe that someone so inhuman could be the boss of such a renowned

company," she muttered under her breath.

The man looked at her with his disturbingly black eyes.

-What did you say?" he warned.

Cassandra was frightened when she realized what she had said, she had to remember that she was

there for the money, to pay for her little brother's medical expenses, she had to be more patient

with the man.

-I said I can't believe they have such bad cleaning products," she lied biting her tongue and

trampling on her dignity.

With a frightened voice and intimidated by the predatory look of her boss she lowered her head

and said:

-I'm here to work, I'm sorry to bother you-.

Cassandra got down on her knees again and went back to scrubbing the floor, she had to put up

with it, she couldn't give up at the first mistreatment, she had to put up with his inhumane

treatment.

Mathew sat on his big, plush leather seat that looked like a king's throne doing nothing but

watching his employee clean by crawling across the floor.

He had to admit the woman was good at her job and that bothered him. He hated not being right.

He looked down at his half-drunk cup of coffee and in one swift motion threw it to the floor

shattering it and littering the floor with the brown liquid.

-You missed it there," he exclaimed in amusement, crossing his arms.

Cassandra had to swallow the urge to insult him and clenched her fists tightly on the wet rag.

Mathew noticed this and couldn't help but laugh out loud at his employee.

-What's the matter, are you feeling helpless? - he exclaimed, provoking her.

Cassandra paid no attention to him, and crawled towards the big stain, wiping it without saying

anything.

-Oh, come on! I know you want to hit me, so do it!

The girl started cleaning harder

"Concentrate on your work Cassandra, don't listen to him, he just wants to bring you down."

Mathew smiled amused

-Come on, get all that anger out of you!

Cassandra stopped scrubbing and forcefully wrung out the brown liquid, her face was almost as

red as her hair, choking with insults that wouldn;t come out.

Annoyed that the woman was ignoring him, he stopped laughing.

-Do it and you'll be out on your ass," he threatened in a hostile voice.

Cassandra felt the cold sweat run down her body. She took a deep breath and continued with her

work, ignoring her boss's insults.

Mathew leaned against his backrest, looking at her with bewilderment, he had to admit the

woman was tough, he could take her insults. Many other employees would have run away, or

cried or even shouted "I quit!". But the scrawny woman had said nothing.

After a while, Cassandra finally finished her torture, she had left the office so shiny that he could

see his own tired reflection on the black marble floor.

Mathew, who had been bored watching the woman work, with nothing better to do, watched as

she got up from the floor shaking the dust off her thin knees, one of them had an open wound

that he had not noticed until that moment. Had she done it to herself in the incident? The young

heir wondered.

"It's not my damn problem" he concluded.

His maid, stretched her long arms above her head and pulled all the hair out of her face, tying it

into a ponytail.

Mathew couldn't help but look at her differently, the hair in the ponytail gave her a more

provocative touch, the shirt rolled up and the last button of her shirt open, made him want to look

inside and find her small breasts. Cassandra adjusted her skirt, which had ridden up a little too

high. Mathew swallowed saliva and wished that the woman was once again scrubbing the floor on

all fours, but with her back to him.

Cassandra looked at him one last time before leaving, meeting her boss's leering gaze. She was

about to run away when the man caught her eye:

-Is that your way of cleaning?

-Excuse me?

-The place is filthy, you're not even good for a janitor.

Cassandra looked at the place with bewilderment, but it was sparkling!

-I'm sorry sir, I'm going to polish it one more time," she answered resignedly.

The man clenched his fists in annoyance, he hated the woman's submission and passivity.

-No! Go away at once! I have more important things to do

Cassandra stared at him in confusion.

-What are you waiting for? Get out!

The redhead stormed out of the office, slamming the doors shut.

That fucker!

She entered the elevator and looked at the time on her cell phone, she was still on time to be able

to hand in her resume for the secretary position, it was still a few minutes before three o'clock in

the afternoon.

She walked down several floors to the human resources area and ran the last few meters to the

office.

She peeked through the door

-Excuse me...

A man in his forties looked up.

-I came for the interview- Cassandra approached and timidly put the paper with her information

on the desk, it was crumpled and wet from the water from the street, she felt embarrassed, but it

was the only copy she had on her.

The man looked at the time on his wrist watch and then said with disinterest:

-I'm sorry, but we already closed the interviews.

-But there are still a few minutes left.

-It's already late, I'm sorry.

Cassandra closed the office door and walked shakily to the elevator, where she collapsed and

began to cry inconsolably.

She hadn't made it!

That bastard had mocked her, humiliated her, even almost ran her over, and for what?

Cassandra got off at a random floor and took the ruthless man's wallet out of her purse and

looked around, there was no one else. Angrily she took out the bills and threw the wallet in a trash

can, pocketing the money in her purse, she got back on the elevator without realizing that the

whole thing was caught on the security camera.

After the scrawny, graceless woman had left Mathew stopped

thinking about her for a second, knowing he couldn;t get her out of his mind, because he was an

obsessive and capricious man, he called his human resources manager.

-Sir?

-I need the name of the woman who did the cleaning in my office.

-I don't know who you mean, we haven't hired anyone yet.

Mathew tightened his grip on the phone's receiver, I knew it! That woman was an extortionist and

a phony.

A skinny, ginger-haired, disheveled woman.

-Oh yeah, she was late for the interview for presidential secretary, I had to turn her down.

Ah, so that was her intention, he laughed amused.

-Give her a new interview and give her the job.
