  I was busily engrossed in my work trying to find a good and juicy caption which would make the headlines, when I spotted Michelle coming my way, I knew immediately that trouble followed her.

  "You're needed at the director's office"; she said in a sassy tone, not bothering to hide the disgusted look on her face. She made sure to draw everyone's attention to me, inciting rumors and ridiculous controversies of a so called office romance I'm having with the director which was clearly not so.

  Making sure to shut down my computer, I left for the office totally ignoring the stares and whispers coming my way, as I knocked and entered, a cup came flying towards my direction, missing me by a hair's strand.

  "What is this trash you claim as news?!! Who do you expect to read such nonsense!? Kids? or Dogs?! Even dogs wouldn't stope so low"; he said enraged as his anger suddenly subsided

  "Ava, I didn't put you in charge of this because I favour you, you simply met the qualifications for the project but I didn't expect you to disappoint me this much, I know what you're capable of doing that's why you've got the look"; he said taking steps closer to me, tucking my hair behind my ear "Instead of wasting your beauty sleeping around with insignificant men, why don't you put it to better use"; he emphasized on the last word. This piece of sh*t referred to me as a wh*re. I clenched my fist tightly try so hard to hold back my anger, he grabbed me by the neck suddenly, pressing me against the door.

  "This is your last warning Ava, get the story or I send you packing. Now get the f*ck out of my office!"; he yelled in anger. I quietly walked out of his office, closing the door behind me not knowing whether to return to my post or just quit the f*cking job.

  I could feel the stares of those parasites, ready to chew down on any piece of gossip they lay hands on. I walked off, locking myself in one the cubicles of the ladies restroom trying to let off some steam.

   "Omg, did you see the look on her face? Lol, she looked like someone who got pee splashed all over their face"

  "I know like eww, b*tch finally got what she deserved. I couldn't stand her being all arrogant because she is the director's favorite"

  "Favorite? More like favorite little s*x doll"; she laughed. "Such a sl*t, imagine the number of men she had f*cked to get to were she is now "

  "Girl tell me about it, treating wh*res like her as queens and more capable people like us as trash. She really disgusts me, like barf"; she laughed on.

  "If I see her again, I'd rip that b*tch like plastic of her fac-

  "Why don't you try doing so I'm right here"; I said walking out the cubicle, grabbing her by the hair. "Since you love yourself so much like a sacred treasure and see others as filth, why don't we put it to the test"; I said, dragging her forcibly to the water closet, watching as she yelled in vain.

  "Ava! You f*cking b*tch! Let go of me!"; she raged on. Facing such a predicament, she still had the voice to tell out cuss words. I shoved her head in the water closet, flushing it serval times over watching as she swallowed galloons of water trying to break free. She had the mouth to speak bullshit but lacked the strength to back it up, pathetic. I repeatedly flushed it over and over again until she had passed out, washed my hands and left in a hurry seeing as how the other girl fled, I was sure she had gone to alert everyone.

  Due to the scene I had I caused leaving everyone in chaos, I used that to my advantage and slipped out with my stuff.

*Ava's POV*

  I drove off feeling satisfied after having taken revenge, facing a bully for the first time had ignited this sort of burning desire in my heart, such feelings, I could only admire from a distance... seeing people stand up against a bully was an impossible thing for me to achieve. Yeah, most people called me a "pushover " in which I was, but that era is over.

  I drove to a stop noticing the traffic up ahead. "Like really? Of all things, what is worse than being stuck in traffic on a hot summer day with my life on countdown"; I thought to myself, well, it was more like my career but it's still the same.

  Five minutes into traffic and the lights still hasn't turned green, it was a scorching 38 degrees out there and my phone wouldn't stop buzzing too.

I turned off my phone, not wanting to hear any nagging from anyone for what I did because they very well deserved it. I rolled down my car's window, trying to let some fresh air get in as my thoughts seemingly wondered elsewhere, a loud honk from behind scared me bringing me back into reality and accidentally pressing the gas paddle, driving straight into the car ahead.

  "Sh*t"; I mouthed, staring paralyzed with shock and disbelief, I could not wrap my head around what had happened, still sitting in my car, anxiety took over. I wished and prayed that owner wouldn't take offense but to my horror, he stepped out of his car, looked at the damage done and took a picture of my license plate number holding me captive by the wheel.

  Gosh, how I wished I could dig a hole and crawl into it but sadly life didn't let me, minutes later, the lights turned green, hoping he would forget and let me off, he drove to the side walk and I had no choice but follow suit having nowhere to flee to.

  I was seated anxiously in my car with sweat dripping down my face, I had rammed my car into a Rolls Royce! I freaking Rolls Royce of all cars..."why-must-my-fate-be-this-twisted"; I said to myself bashing my head against the steering wheel, sighing I got out of my car to met the driver.

"Sir, I'm so sorry...the driver behind me honked his car at me making me ram mine into yours and the lights hadn't even turned green yet! It really wasn't my fault, please understand me"; I rumbled on hearing a crack in voice, I was fighting so hard to hold back my tears, trembling from fear watching as he examined the dent in his car.

  As I continued to watch him, fear took over my body, making my stomach whirl from anxiety...feeling lightheaded, I leaned against my car and watch him return to the passengers seat speaking to someone who seemed to be the real owner of the car seeing the amount of respect he was showing.

As time passed on, I couldn't simply stand still and watch doing nothing. I attempted walking over but froze instantly from shock seeing the person who just got down from the car.

"E-Elias?"

"Huh? Ava?"; he said my name with a frown. Of all people, it just had to be him, my ****
