Chapter 8 - PATIENCE

"My job is mostly on data basis…why am I working like his personal secretary since that meeting." Hazel thought to herself as she stood in Aspen's chamber holding a blue file.

Aspen chuckled, while eyeing on her. he could feel hazel's frustration through her posture.

"Miss. Jones, bring a cup of iced coffee, 1 tsp sugar, 4 ice cubes and no milk." Aspen instructed his tone was firm and commanding.

Hazel nodded in agreement. She quickly went to the coffee machine and started brew the coffee without missing Aspen's instructions.

Few mins later.....

Hazel came with the coffee cup in her hand, she handed it to Aspen and spoke – Mr. Hall, here's your iced coffee, 1tsp sugar , 4 ice cubes and no milk .

Aspen sipped it gently, his eyes narrowed as he savored the flavor. He placed the cup with a thud making Hazel surprised.

"Miss. Jones, is there any sugar left in the office or you used it all up. Aspen questioned in a mocking way.

"It's made as per your instructions" Hazel spoke her voice calm.

"Then why is it so sweet! Whatever just prepare another cup." Aspen asked his voice low

Hazel repeated the same actions. Aspen took the sip of the new coffee.

A hint of surprise flickered on his face "Did you added more ice and less coffee , why am I tasting water, than coffee." Aspen bossed.

For the Next few cups Aspen's been complaining like ...more coffee, no ice cubes, less sugar. Each time Hazel went her smile turned into a frustration. She gritted her teeth, and thought to pull up the last ounce of patience she had left.

Hazel gave a forced smile and left the office to make another cup.

"This beast is playing with me !!! Even a kid can make such a coffee. Wait until I get my black card back! I'll never see your face again." Hazel hissed to herself as she was on her way to bring the 7th cup to Aspen.

Aspen sipped it, his face clear. "PERFECT! This is what a coffee should be like. Now, you can go back to your desk." Aspen spoke devoid of emotions.

Hazels anger simmered, but she bit back her response, instead forced a nod " Thank you Mr. Hall" she said and left the room Aspen was enjoying this quite a bit.

His eyes formed half moons, lips slightly up. He never had fun teasing others not even Armin.
