Chapter 3 He's my boss

Alexis POV

"Yes...Alexis Autumn" i said to the receptionist.

"Hold on please" the lady said and made a short call

"Take the elevator to the sixth floor, turn left , the office by your right, sir Richard's" she said

"Okay, thank you" i forced a smile and walked towards the elevator.

I pressed a button and it opened, i got in and tapped on the sixth floor button, the elevator closed.

Urghh, i couldn't wait to see how my boos looked like, i hadn't been interviewed by my *unknown boss*, i hoped my boss would be a lady, but wait, I had heard the receptionist lady say sir Richard

'Maybe i heard her wrong'

I seriously don't want a male as my boss.

Ding!, the elevator door opened. I got out and took the description the receptionist had given me.

I got to the door and saw a label with a name "Richard Huxley" i read out.

I was surprised and a little sad, i didn't expect my boss to be a man, i hope he isn't like the jackass i met earlier. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, waiting for his reply.

"Come in" i heard a thick voice say

I turned the knob slowly and walked in . i was greeted by a familiar face.

"Oh my gosh" i gasped staring at the figure at my front.

Richard's POV

"Good" I said and placed the telephone back in it's place.

I leaned back on the chair taking a deep breadth.

My phone beeped just as i was about opening a file. I glanced at the screen.

That was someone I didn't want to talk to , yet.

I ignored it and continued with my work. The phone rang again, I grabbed my phone angrily about to switch it off when i heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" i said putting the phone on total silence.

The knob turned slowly and a lady walked in, she was dressed in a tight black skirt which was just an inch above her knees, bringing out her perfect figure, her white long sleeve shirt complemented her skirt. Her hair was packed in a ponytail with two strands of her hair falling out by both sides of her head . Suddenly she halted staring at me in horror.

'Wait, isn't this red face?, woww, and the hot gets hotter'

"Go..od mor..ning sir" she stuttered trying to comport herself.

"You are?" I asked looking back at my laptop pretending not to know her.

"I'm Alexis Autumn, i was asked to resume as a secretary today" she explained.

"Oh, Alexis" i said and paused scanning her.

"You look a lot like red face, i met this morning who was calling me names" i said in a soft tone .

She looked at her feet embarrassed,

"But no worries, you're just her lookalike right?" I asked stressing the word *lookalike*

She looked up at me

"Sir, I'm really sorry about that , it was just...." She paused trying to find the right words to complete her statement.

"So you're that crazy lady, you know you could loose your job for that" i smirked as an idea clicked in my head.

"I'm really sorry s...." She started but I interrupted her

"You're fired" i said with a malicious grin on my face.

"Sir?"she yelled

"....is what i usually say" i added making Alexis furrow her brow confused.

"I would have fired any other person, I guess you're just lucky, because no one is ever lucky with me"

"Sir, thank you sir" she managed to smile

"I think we are done here" i replied turning back to my laptop.

"Yes Sir"she said and turned to leave but I stopped her

"Wait"

She turned back

I grabbed the telephone and pressed some digits

"Boss" a voice called from the other end

"To my office now" i ordered and returned the telephone almost immediately.

Some seconds later, there was a knock on the door

"Come in" I said

The door opened and David walked in

"Sir, you called for me" he asked walking towards me.

"Obviously" i muttered

"David, you show Alexis to her work station and also collect the important documents from her" i said to David

"Yes boss" David answered

"Leave" i said .

I heard Alexis scoffed, but I ignored her, I think I have done a great job by keeping her in my company.

Alexis POV

"So this is your work station" David said pointing to a small space, a chair , table , laptop, file rack was arranged neatly like every other one there.

I nodded walking to the swivel chair, i looked around for something to clean the chair

"It's clean" David's voice cut me shut

"Oh" i muttered dropping my bag on the table.

"That's the inter com,the boss use to communicate with you " David said pointing to a white button with a speaker on the wall

I nodded jotting what he was saying in my head.

"For now, you just sit till you have works to do, but I'm sure you'll soon be called by the boss to take some files to work on" he added

"Why didn't he give me when earlier, then" I wanted to say but i shut up, I may just lose my job finally.

"Alexis Autumn, my office right away" I heard a voice from the intercom

"Off you go" David said and walked away

I muttered a thank you after him and walked towards Richard's office.

I seriously don't know how i am going to cope in this company, the other workers look cold and reserved, they look boring, i don't know how best to describe them, except they took after their cold boss.

I took a deep breath before opening the door, I didn't bother to knock.

"Sir you asked for me" i asked staring down at my feet, i hated his cold piercing eyes.

"Yes" he said

"Take these files , and do the necessary, I just sent what to do with them to your office e-mail , and if you need anything you can ask your partner, Rose" he added pointing to a heap of files by the edge of his table.

Just seeing that made me tired, but i'm going to show him who i am .

"Yes sir" i said and grabbed the files from the table, holding unto it gently, i don't want to mess things up on my first day, well I kinda already did.

"Oh yes, and i forgot to tell you,I need those files back Thursday noon, which is the day after tomorrow" he said

"But sir" i tried to protest but he interrupted me.

"I'm the boss, so you follow my instructions, thursday or you resign" he said with a smirk plastered on his face.

'Seriously' i muttered to myself, was he purposely overworking me because of what i did earlier, if it is then he really is a jackass.

"I'm sorry sir" i muttered before walking out.

What the heck is wrong with this guy, is he like this to everyone or just me....
