CHAPTER TWO
The world was a beautiful place. A place full of wonder and mystery, and each day spent in it was new adventure awaiting. Although life was sometimes cruel, Anna learned that beauty would always outweigh heartache.
Anna had a terrible day at work. Not only was she late because of the weather but Hans had been a total asshole. Constantly complaining about how ratings had fallen it seemed that he was there to make her life hell. If Anna had to describe her boss, she wouldn't have enough words to do it. Anna couldn't handle him sometimes. Hans was the type of person who had the ability to deceive. He looked nice on the outside in appearance and looks but when his true colors shown he was a cruel and power hungry man. There was something off about Hans, but she could never quite put her finger on it. He was nice when she first started but it seemed now that he hated her. Anna never knew what she did to make him despise her.
Unknowingly to Anna, Hans held a deep-seated resentment for her. Fueled by repressed feelings, Hans loved Anna but couldn't bare to be around her. By year one of Anna's internship and later permanent position at 9 News, he couldn't help but feel an unwanted attraction. The beautiful red head had everything in the world; beauty, intelligence, humor but she didn't have one thing and that was him. Through countless attempts of making a pass at her, she never quite got the hint. Frustrated and irritated that she was clueless of his feelings for her, Hans made it his goal to make life hard for Anna. Once Anna had started dating Kristoff, Hans felt deep rage grow inside of him that was bigger and darker than night himself and that anger festered and grew each day he saw her.
Although the weather girl had trouble with Hans and despite all the obstacles that she had to deal with everyday, Anna was madly in love with her job. Through years of working her way up the totem pole, she finally was able to establish herself as a serious meteorologist. Through years of skepticism she had shocked her peers when she became the youngest weather girl in the history of 9 News. Although Anna was quite beautiful, she always felt awkward and uncomfortable on screen. She truly believed that there were some things that people didn't ever get used to and for her it was being on screen. Her real passion lied in the discovering and researching her field required. Although she loved her position at the station, her real goal was to be a researching meteorologist. A storm chaser if you will but somehow fate had landed her a job at 9 News and for now, she was quite content.
Realizing that it was already 10:15 pm, Anna knew she needed to get home. Although she worked the night shift, she had to get up early to meet Kristoff's parents in the morning. Kristoff had talked to her about taking their relationship to the next level but they had only been dating for a couple months. Anna knew she loved Kristoff but she never felt the fireworks that everyone always talked about. She cared deeply for Kristoff and always would but she couldn't help but wonder if life had more to offer. Their relationship have been comfortable, but she didn't want comfortable, she wanted exciting. With all the love that Kristoff gave her, Anna couldn't help but love him back.
Feeling guilty about her true feelings for Kristoff, she shook off the linger tinge of sadness and pushed them to the back of her head. Looking at Hans deeply enthralled with his work, she cleared her throat and then to pretended cough. Not getting his attention, she walked over to him. "Alrighty Boss, I'm out. This storm is coming down really hard. But umm you probably already knew that haha. Umm considering you just watched my segment," she said nervously picking at her skirt. "Got a big day tomorrow meeting the boyfriend's parents. I know the big parent meeting day haha. Kinda nervous but hopefully everything will go ok. I mean they look nice enough and Kristoff is a sweetheart but I can't help but wonder if they are going to like me. Oh god…what am I going to do if they don't like me? " Anna chuckled nervously when she realized that Hans was not paying attention to one word she was saying. Anna hated when she didn't know when to shut up. Clearing her throat once more Anna bid her boss a farewell, "Ummm but anyway drive safe," she said cheerfully. Looking up curiously from a stack of paper, Hans only grunted and gave a wave. "Yea yea whatever. And hey think about what I said…I want those ratings up. You may be have shocked people when you became the new hotshot but I have other things that I know could suit you much better. I know you think you are untouchable but believe me you are not. You are very touchable." Hans said in a disturbing tone. Looking up from his work, Hans gave Anna a creepy smile before returning to his work. Anna gave a shiver and with that, she took her leave.
Before leaving the building Anna couldn't help but feel a little weird about her and Hans encounter only moments before. What a weirdo. I don't know what his deal is. He is a creep. He has hated me since day one but I can't help but wonder why. Maybe Hans is just uncomfortable around me. Hmm. I don't know. Frowning she put on her chunky coat, wrapped her scarf around her heavily freckled neck. Exiting out of the building she braced herself for the cold. Just like the weather girl predicted, the storm that had started out as a light flutter had turned into a full-blown blizzard. Anna peered at the road nervously. This looks really bad. I have to get home as soon as possible. Starting her 1975 baby blue bug and scraping the thick ice off the windshield, she entered the car and left the abandoned parking lot.
