Love or career chapter 2

In front Tris stood a tall, curvy blond lady. She was wearing a blue jumpsuit and a periwinkle blazer, her hair was in a tight bun and she had a stern don't mess with me look sending shivers through my spine. I knew her from somewhere, but where?

A voice boomed from the other side of the room "JEANINE DARLING! its been a while hasn't it!"

My heart rate accelerated at this name.

"OH SHIT." I thought to myself

"No! It can't be?! Oh God anyone but HER."

It was Jeanine Matthews. My new boss.

Jeanine was a scary person, rumor has it she fired someone just for putting two shots of espresso in her afternoon coffee. I hadn't even started my job and I wasn't ready to lose it.

I was about to apologise when Jeanine began talking to the guy who had called her.

'Ahh Tob- i mean Four, its nice to see you.' Jeanine said with a hint of sarcasm and a generous amount of eyerolling.

It was clear to me that they shared a mutual dislike for one another.

"You got that one right" coffee boy said chuckling, his breath lingering on her cheek, it smelt like cookies and cream ice cream. "HOLD UP WAIT?! Did I really just say that out loud? yikes what's gotten into me?"

I needed to get to work or I'd be late.

After waiting for what seemed forever I decided enough was enough and interupted their very awkward conversation.

'It's Jeanine right? I'm terribly sorry for running into you, I swear it was an accident and I promise it won't happen again. I really want to get to my job on time so I'm going to leave. Again terribly sorry won't happen bye!'

A wave of confidence hit me, that took courage and I felt proud. I secretly hoped Jeanine hadn't memorised my face, walking as fast as I could I swerved past Four to escape the strangling stare I could feel Jeanine's icy eyes giving me. Before I left I could hear a low chuckle being covered by a cough.

"Whatever" I thought to myself as my checks flushed a light scarlet. I knew that the chuckle came from him. Jumping into a taxi I told the driver my destination taking me to the next chapter of my career.

I hope you enjoyed the new chapter, credit to my bestie toria who editted this chapter for me. we are going to cowrite a story together so keep yur eyes peeled
