Synopsis: Hayley meets her boss for the first time after the demise of her beloved previous boss Mikael
She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
flashback
She was walking towards the women restroom when someone grabbed her from behind and pushed her against him. She yelped but the voice got lost in the loud noise in the club. He pushed the bathroom door open, locked the door and dragged her towards a stall.
He pushed her against the wall of the stall as she said in a panicked voice "please let me go I…"
He slurred with a smirk making dimples appear on his cheeks at the same time pushing her again "I what? I have been watching you looking at me. Don't you want to have a taste of what you were staring at?"
She could smell expensive booze on him and his actions told her that he was really drunk. She looked at him in horror as he pulled his pant's zip down and grabbed her by her arms, pinned her against the wall, stared into her face and slurred "you have such pretty eyes" and sneaked his hand under her short skirt and ripped her panties off of her.
She whimpered "please no".
He said "no one says no to me love" and grabbed her pelvis.
She could feel his fingers touching her pelvis making her gag and she pushed him but she realized that he was very strong and then he removed his hand and before she could do anything with one swift motion he entered her making her scream very loud.
As the scream erupted from her mouth, the pain shot through her body but he put his hand on her mouth and and started pounding in her ignoring her whimpers and tears.
She continued to push him with his hand but he was not budging and her hardness was amplifying and he hissed "you are so tight" and pushed in her again. She bit his hand hard making him hiss and she felt some satisfaction as she tasted his blood in her mouth but that was short lived as he picked up speed and didnt remove his hand from her mouth. He buried his face against her neck forcing her to smell the booze and the sweat and continued moving in her now losing control of himself and ramming into her so hard that her head was hitting the wall of the stall but he didnt care.
At last realizing it a lost cause, she stopped struggling and just stayed against the wall of the cubical with tears streaming down her cheek when she felt something and he stopped moving and said "ahh" and bit her hard on her shoulder making her scream. He then separated himself from her, stepped back and pulled the zipper up and stumbled out of the cubical without looking at her and she slid down on the floor and tried to salvage her torn panties but couldn't. At last she got up and walked out on her trembling legs and stood in front of the vanity mirror and stared at her bruised neck with teeth marks that had broken her skin and from which the blood was seeping out, tear stained face and disheveled hair when the door opened again and another man entered.
She turned towards him and said "Tyler!"
He walked to her hastily and asked "what happened? What are you doing in mens restroom?"
She hugged him and said now crying "I…" but couldn't finish the sentence.
Tyler hugged her tight and said "shh it is okay. Everything will be okay".
She kept on holding him and then she felt something strange and she realized it was the smell and it hit her a second too late that Tyler was drunk too. She felt his hand sneak under her skirt. She knew she was not wearing anything so she pushed him away but his other hand grabbed her ass and pushed her harder into him. Hayley screamed as his fingers fumbled against her opening. She felt him getting hard and she felt his lips on her neck. She whimpered "Tyler please don't. I beg you".
As soon as the words were out everything became still and he stepped back and said "Hayley! O god I am so sorry".
But she pushed him back from her and ran out.
end flashback
She suddenly felt someone shaking her. She woke up with a scream as she heard Amy say "hey get up, you are having that nightmare again".
She laid on the bed staring at the ceiling now covered in sweat.
Amy said desperately throwing a towel at her "Hayley, why dont you forget about it?"
Hayley got out of the bed, wiped her face and realized that she was crying too and said bitterly "do you think I want to remember that? That terrible night. I was only 17 Amy. But Tyler! He was my friend how could he do this to me and after knowing what happened to me".
Amy stared at her as she moved around picking up her things to get ready for the office.
She then added "I have to get ready. What are you doing today?"
Amy said after some hesitation "I am meeting him later today for dinner around 7".
Hayley looked at her and asked "Tyler?"
Amy nodded without saying anything.
Hayley sighed and said "okay then. I will try to come back by 7. We are meeting our new boss today".
Amy said sympathetically "Oh yeah. I am so sorry for your loss. I know you loved Mikael".
Hayley said "yes he was a great man. His son is going to take over. I have not met him yet. Today is my first day and I cannot be late. Will you please…"
Amy said with a smile "of course".
Within fifteen minutes she was out in a dress pants and white collar dress shirt. She put on her pumps and stood in front of the small mirror in her room and hastily brushed her hair and put on a soft lip gloss. She put on her coat and pressed her shoulder to smooth it pausing just for a second and touched the place where those faded bite marks was still visible that reminded her every day of the terrible incidence of her life. She sighed and cursed herself for the millionth time as she remembered her stupidity in listening to Tyler and getting those fake id just to get into that club. If she had not done that, nothing like that would have happened. She shook her head and headed towards her room. She stopped and peaked in and said "good morning love".
She smiled and said excitedly "mommy"
Hayley walked to her and sat next to her and removed brown strands of hair from her forehead and sighed with a relief that it was cold. She looked into her blue eyes with a tinge of brown in them and said "I have to go early today. I am meeting my new boss. Amy is going to give you breakfast".
She pouted and scooted over and hugged her and said "No, stay with me".
Hayley sighed and said fingering her hair "listen day after tomorrow is Saturday. I will be home and we can have breakfast together…" and groaned as she started coughing immediately followed by a gag.
She kept her there patting her back and saying "it is okay sweetie. Mommy is here". As Hope separated from her she called Amy saying "Amy towel. Hope threw up".
Amy ran in and helped her clean her first when Amy said "you go change. It is already 8:20. Go I will change her".
Hayley looked at her daughter and cursed her job and responsibilities and said "Hope mommy is so sorry. I wish I can stay with you".
She ran to her room and looked at the clock and realized that she does not have time to take shower. She took off her shirt and then cleaned herself with a wet towel and hastily looked for an already ironed shirt in the closet and then took out one light blue coloured one which was passable and put it on and then a different coat and hoped that she was not smelling. She ran to Hope's room and saw Amy sitting on the bed changing her clothes. She walked to her, kissed her and left
She stopped her car out side the tall building with Mikaelsons written on top of it and walked in it and greeted the guard "good morning Jim".
He said with a smile "Good morning Ms Marshall".
She went to the elevator and pressed the button for her floor.
She reached her big cubical and took a sigh of relief and then looked towards the big office with glass walls and saw the empty chair and sighed and wondered 'how will she be able to handle this office without him'.
She startled as her colleague said to her "hey you have a mark on your coat?"
Hayley turned her head and said "where?"
She said "just a small wet mark over your shoulder. Looks like chocolate milk. Here" she handed her the Kleenex.
Hayley took it hastily cleaning it and said "thanks Janet".
They both whipped around as they heard a deep voice saying "so this is what we do in this office. Clean each others clothes?"
Hayley slowly stood up and stared at the blue eyes with shock and the image of him pushing her against the stall wall flashed through her mind along with the menacing expressions on his face that she could never get rid of from her mind. While those horrifying images were flashing through her mind, she felt something dripping on her backbone and realized that she was sweating. She slowly lowered her hand saying to herself "it cannot be him" whereas Janet smiled at him.
Hayley looked at the person standing next to him and looked away even though he tried to catch her eye as usual. She gulped as he said "Janet Smith, Niklaus Mikaelsons".
Janet said "good morning Mr. Mikalesons. It is good to finally meet you. I am so sorry for your loss".
Klaus held the hand Janet offered saying with a smile "call me Klaus and thank you".
Hayley looked at those dimples and felt as if someone threw cold water on her and she shook to her core remembering those dimples when he had smirked at her. She felt a nausea starting at the base of her throat and it took all her will power to push it down when he turned towards her.
Klaus turned his attention to the girl stand behind the desk gapping at him and said "and you are?" extending his hand to her now.
Hayley recovered from her initial shock and said "Hayley Marshall".
She hesitated for a moment and then grabbed the hand he had offered. She felt that wave of nausea traveling up again. She gulped and at the same time she felt him squeeze her hand hard and immediately pull it back. She pulled her hand back and slowly rubbed it against her pants to wipe the feel of his hand on hers.
All the wind left his body as he heard the name; the person he was so eager to meet was standing right in front of him and he couldn't feel but hatred for her and then he followed her hand gesture and smirked and said "so you will be my legal secretary. I have heard great things about you from my father. Would you come with me to my office?"
He turned to Tyler and said "that is fine Tyler. You can go now".
Tyler looked at Hayley and left.
Hayley looked towards Klaus who had gone to his office.
She sighed and took a deep breath to calm her nerves down and then picked up the writing pad and went to his office whereas Janet left after mouthing "wow".
As she entered the office he said "I don't know what kind of work you used to do for my father but as for me you job is simple. You do what I ask you to do".
Hayley looked at him in shock and said "Mr Mikaelsons, I will only do the job that is required by me in my job description. I will not…"
Klaus leaned back in his chair and said "if you want to work here you will have to do what ever I ask you to do. Don't worry I know my boundary and your job description." making Hayley's stomach drop several inches. She glared at the man sitting on the chair which was not long ago occupied by the best man she had ever know and the hatred for him multiplied many folds.
Klaus motioned her to sit down and leaned forward picking up a file from the desk and said "I like to drink coffee a lot preferably every two hours. I like to work late and as long as I stay in the office you stay with me. I have to go for business trips to different city to our different offices…"
Hayley stared at him and said "Mr Mikeasons, Mikael …. " cutting him off and making him look up. When he just stared at her she hastily said "Mr Lockwood never asked me to accompany him on those business trips and I never work after 6" and gulped as she saw him lean back in his chair.
When he didnt say anything she rubbed her hand over her thigh making her realize that her hands were sweaty.
Klaus at last said "my father is gone Ms Marshall. It is me now and you are my secretary. We pay you very well and I expect you to work for that pay".
She stared at those blue eyes which had no shine in them unlike lively eyes she was used to. She at last nodded as she thought of Hope and looked down and missed the smirk that appeared on his face.
He then continued "so where was I before you rudely interrupted me".
She looked up and saw his smirk and those dimples reminding her of Hope's dimple and felt her throat fell heavy. She cursed him for giving her daughter those features of his.
She controlled her emotions and said "you were telling me about your business trips".
He added coldly "thank you. If I have to go to some business meetings you will accompany me day or night. I want you there to take detailed notes of everything that will be discussed".
She looked at him waiting for more but he didn't say anything and continued to stare at her with hands intertwined with each other.
He stared at her and wondered 'she is pretty, albeit not sophisticated but she can get any one so why go after his father?' but didn't say anything and then he said dismissively "that will be all for right now".
Hayley got up annoyed at his rudeness but glad to leave this office. She left the office without saying anything. She sat on her chair wondering in shock and bitterness 'how come she never knew about him? He is Mikael's son so how come Mikael never told her about him. If only she had known, seen one picture of him she would have left the job. Even now it is not late but Hope! She needs this job but he took away her…' she couldn't finish her thoughts with anguish. She sat there looking at the notepad when the buzzer on her phone rang. She sighed and picked it up and heard him say "I would like to get that coffee now".
She said "yes Mr Mikaelsons. How do you take it?"
Klaus looked up from his desk and looked out from the glass wall and saw her looking at the notepad with the pen in her hand. He suddenly felt very weird but he shook his head and said "black, no sugar and no creamer".
He saw her nod his head and heard her say "I will bring it right away".
Klaus was looking at the file his father was handling before the accident when she put the coffee right in front of him and turned to leave without saying anything when he said "I want you to type this page. There were some errors. I corrected them".
Klaus didnt look at her and she took the file from his hand and left closing the door behind her softly.
Hayley sat at her desk wondering 'what was she going to do? She cannot work with him. She needs to get out'.
She thanked her luck that he didnt recognize her. She smiled and said to herself "how can he recognize her? He was drunk and she is not the same girl anymore. Her hair are different color now and they are longer too. She is not a defenseless child with freckles all over her face , laden with heavy makeup, lenses in her eyes, dark red lipstick to make her look older". She almost laughed as she realized that she probably looked older in that getup then how she looks now.
She switched on her computer and started to type the file he had given her while all the time thinking that she needs to get out of this and find another job. She decided that she will not let him find out about Hope at any cost. She looked at the computer and terribly missed Mikael but sighed and said to herself "no use living in dream world. He is gone now". She wiped her eyes.
She could hear buzz in the office and knew everyone wanted to meet the new boss. Around noon he summoned her again along with rest of the office staff and introduced him to them by giving a very eloquent speech. After that he dismissed her again and lost in his work. Janet walked to her as she was having her lunch on her desk and said "wow he is so handsome and charming. You are os lucky to be working with him".
Hayley looked at the Janet who must be at least five years older then her and wondered 'if only she knew what was behind that handsome face'.
Janet didnt wait for her answer and left.
She thanked her luck that he didnt ask anything from her except for the coffee she was supposed to give him every two hours.
Around 6:45 pm he summoned her again and said "I have a meeting with Andrew about a case. You will note everything we discuss".
Hayley groaned inwards as she realized that the meeting will take a lot of time but she had no choice and nodded.
She started to leave when he asked her "where are you going?"
Hayley said "Mr. Salazar is coming at 7".
Klaus looked at her and said "Ms Marshall I have a lot of work to wind up. My father had many unfinished cases and I need to wrap them up. You will have to stay late with me for a few weeks until I wrap them up. Later then I normally work".
Hayley gulped and wondered what is she going to do about Hope but before she could say anything Andrew came in and the endless discussion started. She continued to take down notes but Hope was constantly at the back of her mind.
Klaus looked at her a couple of times and saw her glancing at her cheap wrist watch and smirked and then after one hour Andrew also left and he still showed no sign of getting up. Hayley got up and was about to leave her office when he said "I need those notes typed in an hour".
Hayley stared at him but didnt say anything. She went to sit at her small desk and took out her cell from the drawer and saw a missed call from Amy. She sighed and dialed her number and said as soon as the call connected "I am so sorry Amy. My new boss is still in the office and I cannot leave. I will be home as soon as I can".
She put the cell down and startled as she heard him say "I am sorry I didnt realize that I was keeping you from something really important".
Hayley couldn't help but sense sarcasm in his voice as stood up and felt terror sneak in her heart at how close he was standing to her and she instinctively took one step back making his eyes narrow.
She said "ummm no I just… It is past 8 and I was supposed to … " she stopped as she realized what she was about to say.
Klaus smirked and said a bit rudely "Ms Marshall I already told you that I work late. You can go home today but next time please inform whoever is waiting for you that you will be late".
And without waiting for her response he went back to his office.
Hayley took a sigh of relief and then quickly gathered her stuff and was about to leave when her gaze fell on him working on some file. She wondered 'should she offer him one last cup of coffee' but her heart said 'no why should she?'
A voice said "you need this job".
the first voice said "as long as I don't find another one and until then I don't have to be nice to him. This is my need".
the other voice said "and what if he fires you?"
Hayley sighed and went to the kitchen and put the water in the kettle and coffee cup in the holder and stood there waiting for the coffee to brew and wondered 'what if she transfer herself into a different department?'
Klaus picked up the other file and started reading it and wished he could have another cup of coffee when the door opened and he said "I told you to go home".
When she didn't say anything and put coffee in front of him he looked up and saw her turning away from her and leave.
