Billionaire's Tale: Time wasn't in our favour

chapter 5

The official meet up

Alex's Point Of View. She has been working here for years, and I am so used to her, I am so scared of changing her or adopting to someone else, I mean I can't find someone like Linda even if I tried But all good things comes to an end and it's time i scouted for a new secretary.

As soon as i sat in my office, i sighed and i called for Louis, my assistant.

Louis has an habit of being away, either chatting with the co workers or watching some Korean series, if anything sending him off to that country would make him so happy. He has an understanding boss like me is so good. I pressed the office phone button, and reached Louis.

"

Louis, order me some coffee, iced mint chocolate with latte and extra foamy and some jelly donuts from Downtown bakery, and get me the list of the people that were interviewed and those that got the job okay? did you get all that? I asked him, Louis is forgetful but diligent.

" Okay Sir Alex, I will do that and I will get back to you in twenty minutes" He replied and I hanged up.

I stood up and went to the window side to look at the View, it was really cloudy and soon it started drizzling and I saw her, the girl from the elevator, she didn't have an umbrella or anything.

It started pouring, I wanted to call but i knew I had to get to her at least, and give her an umbrella, my heart kept drawing to her.

She stood in the rain and I went to the elevator to catch up with her and ask if she got the job, at least.

I got there rather too late, she entered a cab and left.

I ran to her, for some reason.

I was worried about her then I remembered I already asked Louis for the information, my phone rang and it was Louis.

"Sir Alex, I already got everything, I am in your office now" He said.

"I will be there now, I went downstairs for a while" i told him.

I went on to the elevator and i heard my employees chattering, about a certain Esther, I didn't a lot of attention to it but soon, I wish I did.

I got back to the office and i saw mum in the office, pacing around a little tensed and worried, i already read the room. Something is bothering mum and i need to know what it is fast.

I saw Louis coming in too, "Mum, what's wrong? you seem tensed" I asked her as i went on to sit on my chair. Louis comes in and drops the coffee and the snacks, alongside the files i asked to give me, some moments ago.

"Please do well to get mum something, is there anything you like?" i asked her.

"Louis, i don't want to be a bother, i don't need anything for now, i am just pissed" Mum said as she finally sat down.

"No, you need something at least, something to calm your nerves, Will you now tell me, what is bothering you? Mrs. Bond?" I called her to make her talk and for her to realise that i am being serious, you see my mum has this habit of not talking till you trigger her or you own a place in her heart, she is very strict and very decisive, very gifted and a perfectionist, it's what she wants and nothing else, Growing up wasn't so bad as soon as i knew how to act.

She is very detailed and organised, but she is hard to please, I guess that's where all this started, and high standards is something I can keep up with, and that's honestly the reason I haven't gotten married yet, she will look for loopholes but that doesn't make her less of my mother.

"We had the interviews today for the new ones that want to apply for positions here right? and this silly girl, she sighed and continued.

she is just unqualified, I don't know who told her to come, she was here last year and here again, she is simply just not qualified, I got so angry at her, you know how i hate being under qualified, she simply wasted my time, I just had to leave the room" Mum, Mrs. Bond said.

"I am sorry to intrude, Mrs. Bond, but does it have any relation to this video?" Louis asked.

"what video is that?" I asked as I stood up from my sit.

"There's a video of Mrs. Bond talking to someone about how unqualified she is, it's only around the staff, but hopefully it doesn't spread around or go far" Louis said.

"Who is this girl? Wow, mum you said a lot" I said to mum, as i watched the vide, i gasped occasionally..

"Call, the media department and let them calculate how far that has gone, I only gave a comment, no need to make a fuss about it!" Mum said to me.

"yes ma'am, I will do that as soon as possible" Louis said.

"A fuss? Mum, this might go viral. By the way where is the list? and do you know who the girl is anyway? That clothing, i might have seen it before. I pondered on the thoughts.

"Sir, the list on the table, and your latte with the donuts sir" Louis said.

"Oh okay, I will do that" I said as i went to my chair and took a long gulp from My coffee and sighed later, the coffee was so good, I took it all in the second gulp.

I have a habit, I stress eat and well, the whole issue that I don't know who the girl is or what she might do or what the media might say and the board
