I'm Admired But He Is Feared

Chapter Twenty

Two days, it's been two days and I can't find anything relatable or useful- this is killing me! Charley Peace is the most feared man in all of San Francisco as well as the most famous and there's no information about him- literally.

No background about him, how he got discovered, nothing at all. He's a famous person without a past. I don't know how that is even possible but it is. Maybe he threatened everybody about releasing information about him.

I'm going to find out; I don't care whether it takes more sleepless nights...I will find out about you Mr Peace. Taking the hot chocolate from my desk I put the computer on stand by and leave my room for my break.

I make my way out when I see Michael; I jog a little so I can catch up to his pace.

"I haven't seen you in days" I tell him.

He nods his head and runs a hand through his short blonde hair.

"I've been really busy these days, I'm the one who has to go down to all of these clients and stuff" He informs me.

"Has it always been this stressful for you?"

"Yeah it has" He says tiredly.

"I'm so-"

"Sofie!" Someone calls out making me cut my sentence off.

I look straight ahead to see that lady that came to my office the other day, what was her name...Sandra, that's the one.

"Hello" I say once she approaches me and Michael.

"I hope you don't mind Mick but I'm going to take Sofie away from you" She takes hold of my arm and begins pulling me away from Michael.

"Of course, go ahead" I give him an apologetic smile as Sandra drags me away from him.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask her in confusion.

"I'm taking you to the cafeteria, you still have to meet the rest of us girls" She informs me.

"Of course" We got into the elevator as she clicks the button to the floor just below us. "What about Michael?" I ask her.

"Don't worry about him, he's going to have lunch with his other friends" She assures me.

I nod my head telling her I understand with a forced smile on my lips. I was never good with making friends with girls. I was always one of the guys. The doors to the elevators open as Sandra leads me through to the cafeteria.

"There they are" She points out.

I look to the corner to see the cafeteria, this looks more like a café. Well, I'm not surprised...it is Mr Peace's building. Wait, that means I could have gotten his coffees from here instead of making the effort to go to Starbucks all the time and that stupid corner kitchen.

He should have informed me about this place.

"Hey Sandra!" Someone calls out.

It was a lady with red hair and she only looked a couple of years older than me. She was surrounded with other girls around her. One was a blonde; one was a brunette etc etc.

"Come on Sofie" She takes hold of my arm once again and drags me towards their table until we're standing in front of it. "So girls, this is the one and only Sofie" They all start to giggle to each other making me want to laugh.

Oh God, they're the gigglers. The red head pulls me down in an empty seat and scoots next to me along with the other girls. How the hell did Mr Peace hire these girls, they are so not his type!

"Hello" I say to her making her smile widen.

"Hey Sofie, we've all been dying to meet you" She says exaggerating the word 'dying'.
