HIS TRUE BEAUTY

The next day at the company.

Beauty got to the company, earlier than usual just to avoid stares and glances on her way in.

The next person to enter the office was Bruno.

As soon as the door opened and she caught a glimpse of a tall figure, she quickly hid her face behind her laptop and started typing meaningless words.

Bruno stepped in the room and glanced towards her office, seeing that he made her uncomfortable, he walked straight to his office without a word.

Beauty raise her head slowly afterwards and sighed.

“Thank goodness I thought he would approach me”.

Bruno got into his office and pulled off his suit.

He folded his length on the office chair and tilt his head backwards showing an attractive view of his Adam’s apple.

He gulp hard and closed his eyes.

“Why is she in my head every damn time”.

He opened his eyes.

“Tim is the worst, it was my first time, he didn’t even care, he said I should clean up and leave, like I was just a whore he met, this same man confessed his live for me months before I finally said yes to his sexual needs’ ‘.

Beauty’s crying voice came back to his head.

“So much of being in a relationship, how do people claim to love another and hurt them like that…being in love is not worth it, she looked so broken and depressed telling me that story”.

He murmured to himself.

******

Later that evening, almost closing time, Beauty had her head resting on the desk, trying to get rid of all that happened, can’t wait to go home, she had successfully managed to avoid Bruno at all costs.

“Finally..”.

She smiled at herself.

Someone dropped a folder on her desk, she slowly looked up ready to eat him or her alive but the person is not a prey , a predator instead.

Her heart reaped as soon their eyes met, her cheeks flustered with embarrassment.

“Sir Bruno!”

She gasped.

“You said you are going to help me type stuff”.

He said that with a straight face.

“Ehhh?”

Beauty couldn’t remember when she made that promise.

“Remember the day at the company’s restaurant?”

“Oh..”

She chuckled nervously then gazed at the clock. It’s almost closing time.

She returned her gaze back to him.

“Now?”she asked, still confused.

He nodded.

“Alright I will keep my promise”.

She shows her 32 with a thumbs up.

“Thanks”.

He replied and went back to his office.

As soon as he’s gone, Beauty sighed deeply.

“Wow what’s with the cold face, sometimes it gives off cool vibes but this time he scared me, why can’t he smile at all? Does he even know how to smile? (Groans) Oh God he wants me to help now what am I going to do if he mocks me with those things I said back there”.

She gazed down at the documents he dropped.

“That’s a lot of work”.

She yawned and started working on it immediately.

Minutes later, Jessi kissed her goodbye and left the company, followed by others too, until everyone of the employees had gone home.

Beauty yawned tiredly.

“What a day”.

She paused and stared at Bruno.

He was busy in his office, the glass wall made it crystal clear to see from her office.

He looked so focused about this work, Beauty found herself stealing glances at him.

Hours gone, it’s 1am.

Beauty was dozing off and a nod almost hitting on the desk made her jumpy, she looked up with her blurred vision and saw Bruno still awake and working.

Suddenly , he got up from his chair and went to make a cup of coffee for himself.

“Now it’s time to return the favour you are dozing off Beauty? Have some shame”.

She said to herself and started working tiredly, yawning every minute

The paperworks seemed endless, she felt like crying out loud that she couldn’t deal with it.

Bruno raised his head and found her nodding to nature’s call, each time she got herself she would start working immediately like a professional boom the next minute she’s snoring with her head tilted back.

He found himself smiling at her, and as soon as he realised, he went back to his straight face.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He stood up and got a glass of coffee for himself again.

Beauty heard his footsteps and immediately started working like a professional.

He came to her and dropped a cup of coffee on her table.

“Here but If you are tired you can rest in my office room”.

He said softly.

In his office?

Beauty felt the whole urge to sleep cleared from her head.

“Are we going to sleep together in the same room?”

She asked a little excitedly.

“No, so don’t worry,”He replied.

Who is worried? I would love it. I thought something romantic was going to happen.

Beauty said in her mind pouted angrily.

She took the cup of coffee angrily from him and finished up the drink, like she was talking about a shot of alcohol.

“Are you okay?”

Bruno asked, unsure why she is angry.

She coughed a little.

“I am fine, and I am going to finish this work”.

She replied intensively.

Bruno was surprised at the zeal.

“Thanks for helping”.

He replied.

Beauty ignored him , focused on the system like a determined worker.

Bruno stood beside her and watched.

Shamelessly the next minute she dozed off right In Front of him. It surprised him that after her determination, she couldn’t resist sleep.

“What a character”.

He smiled and stared at her.

***BEAUTY’S POV**

I felt fingers run through my legs, I opened my eyes shocked to see a blur image of a man about to grab me.
