Maisie sat in the chair outside of her boss's office, waiting for him to have a moment to see her. Maisie wanted to go about this in the most respectful way possible, apologizing and wishing him luck with Nikola, who had no idea what she was doing either.
The door opened, revealing a heavy set man in a black business suit. He smiled at her, and Maisie gave a light smile back.
Mr. Weekly allowed her in, no one knew his real last name, so that's what everyone called him. With his slicked back chestnut hair and pencil mustache. He was filthy rich, with women crawling to him constantly. His son, who looked nothing like him, was the exact opposite.
"Maisie, it's great you finally came to have a chat with me. It's been too long." He gave her the same cheesy smile. Maisie brushed her bangs off to the side. He closed the office door behind her, and he sat down at his large mahogany desk. Maisie sat in one of the chairs across from him. "So what can I do for you?"
Maisie took a deep breath in.
From outside the office Nikola knew Maisie was in his father's office, and it worried him. He knew how his father could be, but it was Maisie, she can take care of herself. Nikola stood, when he heard muffled screaming, and a large crash. Nikola bolted into action, and turned the knob on the door, locked.
"Dammit!" He cursed loudly, he eventually just kicked the knob down, and busted down the door. He came to one of the worst sights imaginable.
Maisie was pressed against his father's desk, trying to fight, but Mr. Weekly had her pinned. She thrashed and didn't even notice Nikola standing in the doorway. Nikola clenched his fists, and was about to go help them, when two of the men, in their mid twenties who happened to see Maisie, bursted in, and pushed his father off of the girl. Maisie tumbled off the desk, and onto the floor, where she took a shuddering gasp at the air.
Nikola was by her side on the floor in a matter of seconds, letting her cry into his shoulder. She had her eyes shut tightly, and was coughing profusely. The two men were holding Mr. Weekly back from going after her again. Maisie stood, still crying.
She wiped her nose, and stared daggers at her boss. "Consider that my resignation you sick bastard." Maisie turned on her heel, and went into her office, and appeared a moment later with her bag, heading out the door, tears still slowly trickling down her face.
The entire floor was staring at her as the doors to the building slammed behind her. Nikola clenched his fists as he stood from the floor. Mr. Weekly had a harsh look on his face. "Glad that immature girl is gone, she was holding us back." He gave an evil smile. His son approached him and stared intensely at his father. "Don't worry son, we'll find you a better mentor."
Nikola swung his fist at his father, slamming his hand into the side of his father's face. Mr. Weekly stood there, shocked. Nikola was beyond mad at this point. "You damned man! You just tried to molest the greatest reporter this stupid magazine has ever seen!" Oh, but Nikola was far from done. "You just ruined the entire company! With your immature actions! Look at you, nearly 50 and a millionaire, you could have had any other woman! But no, you came onto Maisie Alamber!"
The two men who were holding Mr. Weekly back had let him go, and stood there, shocked at the kid's outburst. They'd only seen the boy get aggrivated, so what triggered him this time? Mr. Weekly was just as surprised, his son had never been so mad with anyone in his 16 years on Earth Land.
Meanwhile, Maisie was just closing the door to her house, and fell to her knees, still sobbing like a child. She'd been violated in a way like none before, she felt disgusting just sitting there. Maisie wanted to just disappear for a while, and cry until she ran out of tears. So she lied there, on the carpet in front of her front door, choking back tears.
A few seconds later, a young man could be found walking down the streets of the residential part of the city. He kept his pace down the block, enjoying his little break from his team. That's when he found one of the windows on the other side of the street, it had a small slit in the curtains. He stopped, and let curiousity take control. He peered in, knowing quite well it was wrong, seeing a girl lying on the ground, curled up into a ball.
Eve recognized the petite body, he dress she was wearing, the black hair. He hurriedly went to the door, and anxiously knocked. No answer, he looked in the window, she hadn't even acknowledged his knocking. He went back to the door, and knocked a bit louder. "Ms. Alamber!? Are you alright?"
Maisie's ears perked up, no one called her "Ms. Alamber," except for one person. She slowly crawled to her feet, and dragged herself to the door. Maisie sluggishly opened the door, and found herself with exactly who she thought was at the door.
"Are you okay? I saw you lying on the floor, you aren't hurt right?" Eve asked, inspecting her closely. Maisie gave a shuddering breath, and felt the tears creeping back into her eyes. "Who hurt you?" He asked, his voice lowering.
"M-My boss-" she sobbed quietly. Eve's face hardened. "I quit my job, he..." Maisie wanted to just let it drop, but she'd already gotten him involved. "He... touched me..." Maisie whispered, looking at the ground.
"I'm sorry, this is my fault, I shouldn't have convinced you to quit your job. Ms. Alamber, my apologies, really." Eve said, he looked so ashamed.
"It's not your fault..." she said, looking back at him. Her eyes reminded him of a kicked puppy. "I only blame him, it's his fault. I'm not going back any time soon... I'll ask Nikola to deliever my things."
"Are you sure you're alright?" Eve blinked, his chocolatey eyes had a glimmer of sadness in them.
"I am, thank you for being so worried about me." She gave a small bow, her hair fell down to her eyes. "I appreciate your kindess."
"I'd feel bad just leaving you here by yourself after all of that happened..." Eve said quietly.
"I'll be fine-"
"How about tomorrow I'll check in with you? We can go talk to Master Bob about you joining. I know a lots just happened, but we have to get you thinking about something else."
Maisie blinked a few times, this guy surprised her every time. She sighed, and nodded, maybe it wouldn't so bad with him at her side.
