Chapter 3 You are useless!

-What second-hand product is that?" he exclaimed, turning around to chastise the janitor, surprised to see the scrawny woman he almost killed just a while ago. -You?" he said with contempt.

She was on the floor again, with her matted hair covering her identity, it seemed that this was her natural state.

The woman lifted her face in fright and he could finally see her.

Sebastian had to admit that she wasn't ugly, but she was no big deal to him either, used to stunning women, with sculpted bodies and exotic faces. She had the biggest eyes he had ever seen and that made him a little uncomfortable, the light blue color of her pupils was unique, like the sky, but on a clear summer day, her lips were thin and delicately pink, her skin was so pale it looked almost sickly, as if she had never been out in the sun, her nose was thin and upturned, dotted with a few brown freckles, she had an expression of terror on her face that made his skin crawl. Strands of her fiery hair fell in vertical lines across her face. Didn't she know a comb? She thought.

-Could you explain to me what you are doing in my office?" he demanded forcefully, startling the woman and diverting her thoughts to the woman, "Are you following me?!

-No-no sir, that's not true, I'm here to....

-Are you one of those scammers who want to take my money? I'm not an idiot, I know how to recognize one of yours....

Helena gritted her teeth and looked up at the arrogant man's face. The girl was not surprised to meet almond-shaped eyes with pupils of a brownish color with tints of red, as if they were the eyes of a demon that could pierce her skin and reach her soul. Helena swallowed saliva nervously as she couldn't deny how elegant and beautiful he was, his ID photo didn't live up to his face live and direct, his skin was a tan color that made her imagine that the ruthless man spent a lot of time vacationing in Caribbean countries, his face was perfectly shaven, his skin looked smooth and smooth worthy of someone of his class, with prominent cheekbones, pronounced jaw and Greek nose, jet black hair perfectly cut on the sides and a little longer on top. He looked like the perfect movie villain.

-That's not..." She tried to deny the accusation still stunned by the man's beauty.

-Get out of my office before I call the police. - He warned and stretched his long, slender arm towards the door.

Helena stood up clutching the rag that dripped water, wetting her feet.

-I just came to clean up," she exclaimed, her voice trembling.

Sebastian couldn't help but scoff with a grotesque chuckle, she looked pathetic.

-I can't believe that someone as dumb as you works in my company," he said.

Helena was astonished by the man's comment, she couldn't believe that someone so cruel would be her boss.

-She also couldn't believe that someone so inhuman could be the boss of such a renowned company," she muttered under her breath.

The man looked at her with his disturbingly black eyes.

-What did you say?" he warned.

Helena was frightened when she realized what she had said, she had to remember that she was there for the money, to pay for her little brother's medical expenses, she had to be more patient with the man.

-I said I can't believe they have such bad cleaning products," she lied biting her tongue and trampling on her dignity.

With a frightened voice and intimidated by the predatory look of her boss she lowered her head and said:

-I'm here to work, I'm sorry to bother you-.

Helena got down on her knees again and went back to scrubbing the floor, she had to put up with it, she couldn't give up at the first mistreatment, she had to put up with his inhumane treatment.

Sebastian sat on his big, plush leather seat that looked like a king's throne doing nothing but watching his employee clean by crawling across the floor.

He had to admit the woman was good at her job and that bothered him. He hated not being right.

He looked down at his half-drunk cup of coffee and in one swift motion threw it to the floor shattering it and littering the floor with the brown liquid.

-You missed it there," he exclaimed in amusement, crossing his arms.

Helena had to swallow the urge to insult him and clenched her fists tightly on the wet rag.

Sebastian noticed this and couldn't help but laugh out loud at his employee.

-What's the matter, are you feeling helpless? - he exclaimed, provoking her.

Helena paid no attention to him, and crawled towards the big stain, wiping it without saying anything.

-Oh, come on! I know you want to hit me, so do it!

The girl started cleaning harder

"Concentrate on your work Helena, don't listen to him, he just wants to bring you down."

Sebastian smiled amused

-Come on, get all that anger out of you!

Helena stopped scrubbing and forcefully wrung out the brown liquid, her face was almost as red as her hair, choking with insults that wouldn't come out.

Annoyed that the woman was ignoring him, he stopped laughing.

-Do it and you'll be out on your ass," he threatened in a hostile voice.

Helena felt the cold sweat run down her body. She took a deep breath and continued with her work, ignoring her boss's insults.

Sebastian leaned against his backrest, looking at her with bewilderment, he had to admit the woman was tough, he could take her insults. Many other employees would have run away, or cried or even shouted "I quit!". But the scrawny woman had said nothing.

After a while, Helena finally finished her torture, she had left the office so shiny that he could see his own tired reflection on the black marble floor.

Sebastian, who had been bored watching the woman work, with nothing better to do, watched as she got up from the floor shaking the dust off her thin knees, one of them had an open wound that he had not noticed until that moment. Had she done it to herself in the incident? The young heir wondered.

"It's not my damn problem" he concluded.

His maid, stretched her long arms above her head and pulled all the hair out of her face, tying it into a ponytail.

Sebastian couldn't help but look at her differently, the hair in the ponytail gave her a more provocative touch, the shirt rolled up and the last button of her shirt open, made him want to look inside and find her small breasts. Helena adjusted her skirt, which had ridden up a little too high. Sebastian swallowed saliva and wished that the woman was once again scrubbing the floor on all fours, but with her back to him.

Helena looked at him one last time before leaving, meeting her boss's leering gaze. She was about to run away when the man caught her eye:

-Is that your way of cleaning?

-Excuse me?

-The place is filthy, you're not even good for a janitor.

Helena looked at the place with bewilderment, but it was sparkling!

-I'm sorry sir, I'm going to polish it one more time," she answered resignedly.

The man clenched his fists in annoyance, he hated the woman's submission and passivity.

-No! Go away at once! I have more important things to do

Helena stared at him in confusion.

-What are you waiting for? Get out!

The redhead stormed out of the office, slamming the doors shut.

That fucker!

She entered the elevator and looked at the time on her cell phone, she was still on time to be able to hand in her resume for the secretary position, it was still a few minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon.

She walked down several floors to the human resources area and ran the last few meters to the office.

She peeked through the door

-Excuse me...

A man in his forties looked up.

-I came for the interview- Helena approached and timidly put the paper with her information on the desk, it was crumpled and wet from the water from the street, she felt embarrassed, but it was the only copy she had on her.

The man looked at the time on his wrist watch and then said with disinterest:

-I'm sorry, but we already closed the interviews.

-But there are still a few minutes left.

-It's already late, I'm sorry.

Helena closed the office door and walked shakily to the elevator, where she collapsed and began to cry inconsolably.

She hadn't made it!

That bastard had mocked her, humiliated her, even almost ran her over, and for what?

Helena got off at a random floor and took the ruthless man's wallet out of her purse and looked around, there was no one else. Angrily she took out the bills and threw the wallet in a trash can, pocketing the money in her purse, she got back on the elevator without realizing that the whole thing was caught on the security camera.

After the scrawny, graceless woman had left Sebastian's office, the young CEO hadn't stopped thinking about her for a second, knowing he couldn't get her out of his mind, because he was an obsessive and capricious man, he called his human resources manager.

-Sir?

-I need the name of the woman who did the cleaning in my office.

-I don't know who you mean, we haven't hired anyone yet.

Sebastian tightened his grip on the phone's receiver, I knew it! That woman was an extortionist and a phony.

A skinny, ginger-haired, disheveled woman.

-Oh yeah, she was late for the interview for presidential secretary, I had to turn her down.

Ah, so that was her intention, he laughed amused.

-Give her a new interview and give her the job.

-But Mr. Aller, that woman has no studies or experience in the area, it's too much of a position for a person who knows absolutely nothing.

-I have already made up my mind, I want her to be the one. Tell my father's secretary to teach her the basics" He hung up the phone without waiting for an answer.

Helena was sitting on the waiting bench at the reception, trying to regain her composure before going home, she didn't want her little brother or David to see her like that, if the man found out what had happened to her he would come to the company and want to kill the man who could have been her boss, her friend had always protected her, like a father.

She grabbed her cell phone to let her best friend know she was on her way when she got an email from the company.

Frightened and with her heart in her throat, she opened the email.

Had she been found out? Now she was in serious trouble.
