“Are you nervous?” I nodded fondling with my fingers.
“Don’t worry dear you would get the job”
How is she so sure?
I came out of lift thinking she was following behind me but she wasn’t.
“Just walk straight and turn to the right you would see his office or you can just ask someone for directions” she explains as the lift door began to close.
“W-wait Amanda you said you would-” It closed making sign.
Where did she say I should go again left or right? I was too nervous I didn’t get everything she said.
I think she said I should walk straight and turn…left
Mrs Amanda is my mum’s best friend she promised to help me get a job at her son’s company and now she is letting me go there alone.
I got lost so I asked a man that was passing by with some files in his hand.
“Excuse me sir, could you please show me the CEO’s office?” I asked.
“Ok just follow me” He showed me the way and I thanked him before he left.
As I stood in front of the door I was very nervous.
Hopefully he would not remember me.
I inhaled and exhaled. Ok Alexandra you can do it.
“GET OUT!” I heard two people dressed in suit a man and a woman. They left the office looking annoyed.
I started to sweat then I knocked on the door.
“Come in!”
I looked in before coming inside.
He looked younger than I thought although Amanda didn’t look old she is in her forties.
Why did I imagine him to be an old man.
He had dark brown hair packed into a downwards ponytail and green eyes.
“How long do you plan on staring?” He asked and I notice an accent in his voice.
“Oh sorry” I felt ashamed that I was staring for too long and sat down on a seat.
“Are the one my sent to work as my assistant?”
’um yes” I nodded feeling a bit relieved.
“Please a wait a bit I am coming” He left the office.
I sat down waiting.
I hope he doesn’t remember me if not I might not get this job.
He came back, and then did an interview for me.
“Okay you have got the job” He said.
I was surprised
Really?
“Thank you sir, I am very grateful, so when should I start?” I asked.
“Today, but since you are going to college other days if you have lecture you can come in the afternoon” He explained.
“Okay then”
He pointed at some file “sort it out for me then get me a cup of coffee, Mr Matthew would soon be here to show you to your office.”
I heard a knock on the door.
That was quick.
I opened the door it was that man that helped me earlier, He showed me around then showed me to my office.
“What was your name again?”
“Alexandra Millson”
“Miss Millson, Mr Steven asked that people see his assistant first before going to his office he said that when his former assistant was around”
“Oh ok thanks for letting me know”
He seems nice.
I sorted out the files and was heading to his office again.
I heard a knock I opened the door to see a lady who wore a white top and peach skirt her face was caked with makeup.
“My name’s Sydney, are you his new assistant?”
“Yes”
“I would like to see Kelvin” She called him by his first name.
“Ok I am heading there now, follow me” I said.
As I was walking to his office I could feel her glaring from behind me, I just knew her now and she already hates me.
“Sir Miss Sydney is here to see you”
“Just let her in” he said and I signal her to enter.
I dropped the files on the table.
“I am done sorting it out” I said.
He smiled “That was fast”
Sydney cleared her throat.
“Oh Sydney what are doing here?” he asked.
She looked at me.
Maybe she wants to talk to him in private.
So I left.
“Who is she?” I heard her ask.
“My assistant of course”
“I have never seen you with a female assistant before” She said.
I shouldn’t be ears dropping.
“How is that your business?, if you are here to tell me what to do you can just leave, we are just friends Sydney get-”
I stopped listening I better just get the coffee before I get caught ears dropping.
I came back with the cup of coffee.
Miss Sydney slammed the door and stomped away not before glaring at me.
What in the world did I ever do to her?
Seems like today people are just coming out of the office looking angry.
