Chapter 3 I don't get it

"Sir, even though-" Sasha tried to speak but she got interrupted.

"Its Axymah's job to hand out the contract, she will be in big trouble if that contract is not done well. How many files needs to be worked on work on this week?"

"Three." Sasha answered cockily.

"Are you certain they are only three?" He asked.

"Yes sir, two of them are related to the contract and the other one is hiring a new assistant for me." She said with a smug.

"Very well, give Axymah the three files she will work on them before this week is over." He said with a sigh.

"Why are you handing me so much work sir? Sasha does not in anyway need an assistant or have the right to have an assistant Sir so why are you allowing her to have one? And most of all why are you assigning that to me?" This is outrageous, unbelievable.

"Because I can, and Sasha as work to do for me, she won't have the time. If you can't handle it then you can quit your job here are the documents," he threw them on the desk in front of me "if you can't carry out these tasks it will prove you are incapable of this position and you will be demoted good luck because you will need it." He said boring holes into my face.

"I can handle it." I said in defeat.

"Good for you, you both may leave my office." He said in his deep thick voice.

"Thank you boss." Sasha said and left but I just stood there surprised.

"I said leave my office you this shameless woman." He yelled and I quickly left his office, I wonder what he has against me.

"Hey Sasha wait up!" I called from behind her as I rushed to catch up to her but she didn't stop till she reached her desk, how can she treat a whole MD this way? Its outrageous.

"Looks like you being the MD does not mean anything anymore." She taunted.

"Meaning?" I asked with so much attitude, oh good lord, I feel like murdering this bitch right now, she has no ounce of manners in her.

"Now it seems I'm am more supreme than you, you are looking for an assistant for me, that's so nice of you a whole MD." She said with a disgusting smug on her face I wish I could wipe it off of her ugly face.

"I don't have business with you." I walked away from her

"I'm giving you work to do, either you will soon be demoted and I'll take your place or you will remain the MD but I'll be able to boss you around, which one is more belittling?" By now I was fuming, she is insulting me but I won't stand for this.

"Sasha you are suspended from work till further notice." I said eyeing her down.

"I don't think the boss will be too kin about me being suspended but I will respect you as the MD and accept your suspension but don't forget I need my assistant by Friday." She said and gave me a toothy smile she shouldn't ever do that again, that's a disgusting sight.

"Whatever!" I turned on my heels and left I feel so insulted, nevertheless I went back to my office. Even I don't have an assistant but Sasha is on the verge of having one but she is just a regular staff, I wonder why she fired her old one, probably so she can humiliate me by asking me to look for another one for her, I won't allow her to succeed will also look for an assistant for myself.

I should get started with one of these files, the first one says I have to pay irregular visit to the company whom I gave the contract to, that's as easy as pie but now I really need an assistant. The second file is the file where all the staffs records are, there is a note in a page of the file. This is Mr Bullard's handwriting, the note says "new staffs needed as an assistant." I will also hire an assistant for myself and a supervisor he or she will be the one to keep an eye on the company whom I issued the contract to.

I found five people that applied to be an assistant, I sent interview letters to those five people, I will interview them tomorrow, because I don't have much time. Since I have nothing more to do I will go and supervise all the workers to make sure they are doing their jobs well, Florence and Valentine are yet to turn in the file I asked them to work on, it was due last week Thursday, they should have brought it to my office first thing last week Thursday, I guess I'm going too easy on them nowadays, I left my office and went to meet them in their desk, a whole me.

"Florence, Valentine, to my office now." I said to them and went back to my office to wait for them, soonest they entered my office and stood with files in their hands.

"Why have you not submitted the files I gave you to work on, they were due last week, and I remember I asked you to work on some files a couple of weeks ago, you didn't submit those too, don't forget you can be easily replaced." I said with a boss lady tone, stern and firm.

"We are sorry ma'am." They said with their heads down.

"Sorry for yourselves, go and get me all the files that I handed out and has not be given back to me be back here in the next two minutes or say bye bye to your jobs." As soon as I said that they bolted out of my office and I frowned, I have been slacking in this job and I didn't even know.

Few minutes later a knock on my door sounded.

"Come in!"

"Here are all the files ma'am." They said panting.

"Did you two run a marathon?", I asked with a small smile "how many files are these in total?"

"Five." They said trying to steady their breathing.

"What!!! You mean to say five files have not been completely executed." I yelled in surprise, what on earth is going on in this company.

"Yes ma'am, all that is left is for you to give the go ahead." She said and I opened one of the files, it says to pay the salary of eighty workers.

"How can I give the go ahead for the payment of eighty workers when there are only seventy two workers in this company?!!"

I took the desk phone and called the head of account. "Hello, this is your MD freeze the accounts of all the workers now and come to my office with all the details of the expenditure of this company for the past three months now!" I really feel like an MD right now unlike with Sasha.

"You two can leave." As soon as I said that my phone rang its my foster dad calling I like to call him dad it gives me a sense of ease.

"Hello, good af-" I began with a small smile.

"Your mom was attacked by Dario she is seriously injured." Dad said with shaking voice.

"Where is she?" I asked in shock.

"She is in the general hospital and I'm here with her." He sounded so concerned and worried also scared too, who wouldn't be? The mother of his unborn child was attacked good lord please let them be alright.

"Okay I'll be there in an hour or two."

I can't believe this, Dario attacked my foster mom while she is pregnant I hope both her and her baby are okay I'm terrified, if he could enter into the house and hurt my foster mom then what would he do to me but why did he attack her? O Lord please let her unborn child be alright please I just knew Mondays are the worst lord please protect my foster mom.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts "Come in!"

"Madam you asked for the account for the expenditure of this company."

"Yes, have you frozen the account of all the employees?" I asked.

"Yes Ma'am." He said.

"Come give me all the accounts and make it quick." He came to my side and did just that.

Forty five minutes later, I'll call the police and they'll investigate this matter, I can't believe this Atrocity the company has been paying salary for about twelve people for the past three months and those people are not working here they don't even exist.

One file down four more to go, there are two files that we were supposed to have put into action that are pending, the first is to pay "Chika's skin care company" two hundred thousand, their share of one of the contracts we held together its a good thing I found out now because if we don't pay by tomorrow they would call the police on us and put our company's reputation at stake.

I checked the file for the company account number and asked the account manager Jeff to send the money to them now. I became the MD a month ago, I didn't know all these were not done by the former MD that was sacked, its a good thing I decided to check it today or else we would have been toast, two files down three more to go. My mind is still racing from the call I had with my dad, I need to get to the hospital soon, I will finish the rest of the files tomorrow I'll go to the hospital now.
