Chapter 36: Losing temper
Ash’s pov ;
"Fuck off!" I pushed Elijah away furiously as my chest heaved in scorn at his attempt to kiss me. "You bastard! You think you can just do whatever you want because you’re the boss? Fuck you, prick!"
"What? You don’t want a break?" He smirked, sensually wiping his lips with his thumb. "I’m giving you a chance to earn it."
I blinked in disbelief at the menace who blinked innocently making me even more angry. "I can handle both the secretary job and the drama. I don’t need your charity or your disgusting advances."
He snorted, raising a playful brow and circled his hand around my waist to pull me against his bulky body. "If you don’t have a problem working two jobs, then I don’t have a problem either. Just don’t come to me crying later."
I rolled my eyes and roughly pushed him back using my whole strength because this man is fucking strong. "Are you done with your fuckery? Because I’m done with you."
Without waiting for a response, I stormed out of the office, my footsteps echoing down the hallway. As I approached the auditorium, I could hear the buzz of excitement. The results of the auditions were being announced.
The room was filled with cast and crew. Conversations hummed around me, congratulating each other for getting a role. I stood on the fringes, receiving no acknowledgement or congratulations from anyone. It didn’t bother me, though. I’m used to being an outcast among my co-actors. And after the scandal I can understand no one wants to ruin their image by being seen around me.
The whispers and weird looks didn’t faze me. I had learned to steel myself against them. No matter how deep they try to cut into me, my walls are high enough to keep the worst of the pain out.
