Twisted Love

Chapter 12

Mitchell

We went upto the top most floor. The building was pretty impressive i had to say. The most awkward thing was the ride in the elevator where there were only the two of us. Alex and i. I didnt know what to do or where to look. I had necer felt so uncomfortable.

"Remember dont tru to embarrass me," Alex said in a hard tone.

I nodded as he knocked kn the door which i assumed would be his boss's office.

"Come in."

By the voice i assumed his boss to be arouns late thirties or fourties. Upon entering i looked around at the inpressive office size. It was decorated in shades of brown. I stopped a few steps behind alex tightly holding my CV in front of me like a barrier.

"I dee you brought your wife just like i asked," mr boss said.
"I couldnt deny your order sir," alex said professionally.
"Good. Why dont you wait ourside alex? I would like to speak with your wife alone," mr boss said.
"But sid-
"Alone alex," he said.

Alec huffed but said nothing. He turned around and gave me a hard stare as he walked out of the office and shut the door.

"Come sit. Do you want any coffee or tea?" Mr boss asked.
"N-nor sir," i stutteref, staring at my lap.
"You can call me mr. Akins," he said.

I only nodded in reply. I couldnt speak properly bevause of my nerves. I hesitantly placed my CV on the desk.

"I dont need to see your CV mrs. Calahar. I have already accepted you as my interior designer," mr. Akins said.
"But sir. What about my interview?" I asked, looking up finally.
"Calling you here was just a formality. You can just sign these papers and i will call my secretary wjo will show you to your new office," mr. Akin said.
"But sir isnt that like unofficial?" I asked.
"Unofficial?" Mr. Akind raised an eyebrow.
"I mean if you just accept me i would feel like i difnt make it on my own. I wouldnt want a job where i thought that i wasnt capable of and might have taken someone else's place," i said.
"There arent many people nowadays mrs. Calahar that think like that. People would jump at a chance of a new job with salary," he said.

I knew he was right nut i felt as if he was just keeping me because i was alex's wife and not because of my degree or caliber.

"Mrs. Mitchell i assume you are having some troubles with alex," he said.
"How do you-
"I had a talk with alex's mother and we agreed on the same things," mr. Akins said.

I felt my face heat up at that. Of course. Alex's mother. How could i forget that? What did she say to jis boss? I dont think that i could wirk in a place where the boss thought something was wrong with me.

"Dont worry mrs. Mitchell. She was quite impressed with you and i just followed her orders," mr. Akins said smiling.
"Thank you sir," i daid, feeling a bit relieved.
"You are welcome. Alex is a good boy mitchell. You just have to make him see you two are goof together," he said.

I sighed inwardly at that. That in itself was the main problem. I mean how the hell was i going to convince alex that we could work togetjer in an amicable way?

Alex

I paced outside the boss's office wondering whether or not to go in or not. What if mitchell decided to tell mr. Akins that i wasnt a good guy? I mean this would be the perfect opportunity for her to make a bad impression of me and get her revenge back. I mean everybody leaves me at the end.

I stopped pacing as the door opened and mitchell walked out with her CV in her hand. Immediately i was in her face wanting to know what had gone inside.

"Well? What did mr. Akins say?" I asked.
"I got accepted as an interior designer here," mutchell said with a smile.
"I am not asking you about that!" I glared at her.
"Oh," mitchell's face fell at my words, "why do you think that i would say something against you?"
"Because you want to have your revenge thats why," i sneered.
"If i wanted to have my revenge alex i would have done so a long time ago dont you think? Boss said i could start work from tomorrow," she said, before walking aeay.
"Wait. Where are you going? I will drop you home," i blurted out.

What tge hell was happening to me? One moment i hated mirchell because she ruined my life. The next monent i wanted to act like a gentleman around her. Perhapd i  was turninf into a bipolar person. Mitchell turned around and masked her wxpression of surprise but not before i saw it.

"I dont want you to be behind in your work. I can go back myself," mitchell said.

I watched after her retreating back and sighed quitely to myself. What should i do now?

Pretty shorter than others but consider this a filter chapter. Although it does have its importance. Feedback would be appreciated! :)
