UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
By Melody.
Chapter 3.
Rain was still heavy in the dark.
Inside the close black cab parked at the corner of the road.
Xan was sitting next to the driver seat. He wearing a sea blue shirt with part of his hard chest visible from the few buttons opened.
He lazily leaned his head on the headrest, running his fingers into his hair.
He looked out the car glass again and tugged his hair tight in his fist.
Why was he feeling so on edge!.
He leaned his elbow on his kneel and stared at the driver.
“What did you say your name was again?” He pinched his lashes, trying not to look upset.
“Gian ” He replied, placing his arm on his chest while bowing his head.
“You were the one who crashed into my car this morning, right. You said you knew that little fella’s house, huh?”
“Y..yes sir. I’m very sure she lives there. This morning, I met her there before i picked her to work.” The driver said very sincerely.
“Why should I believe you. Why hasn’t the little fella arrive home yet. Does she have someone she visit before coming home?”
“I have no say in that, sir. Usually, I’ve seen her in that house countless times but I have no idea when she arrives home.” Gian said.
Xan’s eye lowered, he nodded his head as if he just realised a new thing.
He leaned back to the backseat and rested his face on his open palm. His bored eyes stared outside the drizzling glass for a while.
Suddenly, his thick brows squinted as soon as he noticed something familiar.
A small cab like the one he was in, had stopped next to the small balcony house.
Soon, a short girl tripped out in the cold weather, hugging her pale arm.
She began to hop towards her apartment balcony.
“That’s her!. Over there..that’s her.” Gian defensively pointed, almost before she ran in.
Xan simply nodded, seeing himself getting lost at the picturesque of her outside.
He made sure he watched with kin interest, every of her move.
He saw her pick up the box and without her making use of her brain, she had sheepishly ran into her apartment.
Xan sighed, very satisfied at last. He thought she would have thrown the box into a waste bin.
He turned to Gian, flicking his fingers.
“That all I wanted to see. You can drive me back to the park garage.” He seethed.
“Okay. Sir.” Gian immediately started the car and drove off.

9: 30
INSIDE AMY’S APARTMENT.
Amy couldnt wait to try out the new office dress. She had loosed off the stripe from the new cloth in a rush.
She threw the box away and opened up the shirt widely.
She finally found a piece of tag hanging on the shirt and her eyes blinked.
There was a signature on the tag, the one similar to the one she found on Xan’s personal card.
“Where’s that card?!!” She began to search around her, around the big mess she was caved into.
She found it and picked out the card. Her two eye balls moved sideways checking for the similarity between the two signature.
Her eyes went spherical and wide as her head began to realise things.
“Wait. Was it the CEO who bought this shirt and trouser for me?” She asked, staring at her dumb pink.
Pink growled, as if saying a yes to her imaginary question.
She stared at the shirt again and realised how wonderful it was, it was speaking with luxury.
She was still yet to believe if it was truly the CEO who gave her this nice cloth.
She suddenly pressed the cloth into her chest, taking in the all scent of the ‘fresh from the boutique’ smell.
Her cheeks flushed red with excitement. She bit her lower lips hard trying not to smile widely.
“So, Mr CEO can be cold but be very nice as well. I could have disgraced myself wearing my delivery cloth to work, thank God he prepared me well..haha.” she laughed.
After having her bath that night, despite the deadly cold, she dressed up in a teddy costume that matched her little stature.
She stood in the mirror and made her hair into an ugly bun before she flew to bed, leaning on her stomach.
She picked up her phone and stared at xan number for a while.
His number was still blank with no name. She thought of giving him a particular title since she was unaware of his real name.
Even his personal card didn’t have any information of his name on it as well.
She rolled in bed for many endless minute until a silly idea came up in her head.
She quickly picked her phone and chuckled inwardly as her fingers racked on the button.
” I-cy…k-ing” she mumbled.
She was able to save him as the name ‘Icy king’ with a purple love emoji next to it.
She slept off having no idea why she gave him that unusual nickname.

NEXT MORNING.
ALARM
The large alarm rang like an hospital alert signal, making the sleepy Amy sat up on the bed.
She scrubbed her eyes and rested back on the headboard, grumbling to herself and wishing why today had to be Wednesday.
She feingly stood on her feet and walked towards her wardrobe. It was a wide one and it was filled with unfashionable cloth.
The only shinning light in the wardrobe was her glittering white shirt and pin trouser that kept booming out.
She couldn’t stop herself from smiling cheekily again. Her stomach began to whiplash with goosebumps.
She couldn’t believe she would be working in an office in some few hours to come. She would stay in offices and stare at computer screen all day.
How marvelous it was for the lazy Amy!.
She wanted to be that most punctual worker so as to put a smiling face on Xan- since he never smiled.
She wanted to also pay up her debt- yeah the major issue there.
“Huh!!” She screamed after staring at the wall clock and she quickly scrimmaged towards the bathroom.
Pink ran into her room to wake her up as usual but she was suprised to hear Amy’s voice sing right out the bathroom.
Now, Amy came out from the toilet and began to quickly pull her cloth into her naked skin.
She was still unable to identify how her mr CEO found the right type of cloth that could slid into her body without interference.
She stood at the tall mirror, looking overly sharp and beautiful in her new cloth.
She knew she would render herself unpaid stares from crowds at work today.
She finally picked up her heels to wear.
Her leg fitted in but to stand on her feet was the real issue. She had to hold on to the support of tables.
Pink growled, showing her how confused and scared she was.
“You are right pink. I should go for what i feel comfortable in.” Amy said and before throwing off the heels.
Then she picked a white sneakers instead and she realised it went absolutely well than the heels itself.
And then she picked up her usual brown big ‘sack’ she called bag and ran out of the house immediately.

Amy came down the cab in a haste and was glad to have met a car waiting for her at that same spot of yesterday.
She crossed the road and leaned down to knock on the glass twice before it finally drew down.
Sean face showed up. Her neck jilted a bit, she had wanted to see xan instead.
“Hello…Good morning!” she waved her arm, smiling like a pure lambish girl.
“Come in quickly. No time to waste out here!” He said.
She got into the car and sat down before closing back the door.
He stared at her dressing for a while and he quickly pulled a satisfied facial expression. He knew she was quite a stunning girl from onset.
But then, he noticed something.
“Are you throwing some trash on the way? Why did you carry a sack with you?”
“Huh?…Um..n..no” she said, squeezing her sweet-old bag into her chest while throwing her shy gaze away.
The car started to drive and it only drove in a minimum speed until it arrived inside a wide compound.
Amy was forced to stare out the widow, she began to marvel how tall the building was.
She almost gulped down by it huge skyscraper view. It almost seemed like the house was calling down to fall over her.
Sean showed her the way into an elevator and that took her way up, towards the working centre.
“When you get up. Take the first turn and go to the room number 1. Understand?” Sean asked.
“Perfectly well, sir.” She nodded, being a good girl.
The elevator stopped and she came out looking around, into a whole new beautiful world.
Amy big smile was just too random to compare what was on her face. Her eyes, nose, ears and hair all stood with great joy.
So many workers wearing the same uniform as hers had started to rush in and leave through the stair case.
She would stop to admire one thing or the other on the way. Everything she saw would leave her walking away speechless.
After taking a turn, she arrived in front of Xan’s office. Her normal heart raced hard inside her chest.
She felt so nervous. What if she failed her interview. She wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to work in such a kind of place.
She let a swoosh of air pass through her lips before she pulled the door open.
Xan raised his head from his computer and his icy eyes scanned through her body pinning at her bag.
“Good morning sir!” Amy greeted, still standing at the door, unsure of if she was welcomed or not.
“Come over here quickly.” He ordered.
She walked over to his table and pulled out a chair to seat. Her heart kept on racing like a tornado and her fake smile dared not leave her face.
Xan knitted his fingers, staring down at the meek girl who was both scared and shy to exchange glances with him.
She would look at him and probably stretch her neck to stare at somewhere uninteresting.
“Thanks for the outfit yesterday.” She mumbled, breaking the silence.
He slowly leaned into her, almost filling her face with his hot presence.
“That outfit…wasn’t a gift. You’d pay for that by working extra.” He said, his gaze growing intense.
He sat back on his chair leaving Amy speechless again.
“Your name?”
“Amy.” She forced her throat to bring up the words.
He stopped and stared at her for a while, as if correcting her inwardly.
“Amy Blanc!. Sorry.” She mumbled, biting her lip again.
“Your status doesn’t fit to be a personal assistant to me but that’s the only job I know you can possibly do.” He tiredly said
Before Amy could speak, the door pulled opened and another man walked in.
Amy turned her head and couldn’t look away from him again. Who was this young man…
He was tall, lean and very sxy. She was so blinded by his beauty that she lost focus on Xan.
Xan glared dirty at him before turning to look at Amy
He was upset that she was staring at his brother lovingly. He pinched her chin and dragged her face forward.
“Miss. Not staring at me is a huge crime!. You could get fired immediately!”
