Chapter 5 Her Boss

The old rust Alarm Clock rang so loud making me jump out of sleep in fright. Though it didn't surprise me, I don't think I can ever get used to the extreme noise it makes. It is a very old alarm clock, that Mara herited from her grandmother. According to her, it was a gift from her grandmother so I couldn't blame it. I pressed the little button on the Alarm Clock and pulled off the duvet from my lower body. I sat up and searched for the floppy slippers with my feet. I finally found it and I wore them quickly rubbing my eyes with my fingers. I stood up and had a very nice and long stretch.

Mara was still sleeping and I wouldn't want to disturb her. The ray of the sun reflected into the room and I smiled walking to the window. I peeped out and I felt a strand of my hair on my face as I went to peep. I huffed getting rid of the strand of hair, before using my palm to brush my hair neatly. I had a large grin as I stared at the street, I pulled down the curtain in frustration and looked around the room. It was looking so scattered because we haven't had the time to take care of it. "Today Is another day," I said to myself standing akimbo. I dragged my feet on the floor walking to the bathroom. I removed my night robe and finally walked into the bathtub. I turned on the shower and I shivered as the water touched my smooth fair skin. I was done with bathing, I walked out of the bathroom after cleaning the water on my body using the towel. I walked to my closet and opened it looking at my very scanty clothes. I picked out my second best shirt, which was already washed and ironed. I wore my underwear and wore my shirt afterward. I picked the black skirt I wore the previous day at work and also put it, luckily for me it still looked very clean. I stood at the mirror taking one look at myself. I was looking prefect. "Mara, I'm off to work!" I said and walked out. Yeah! I do work. When I graduated from college I was so lucky to secure a good job. Tho my dad was not happy about it because he will like for me to work in the family company but I refused. I wanted to work for someone else and made my cool cash. ----------------------------------------- I arrived at the company in time. Not late. I came to my desk and my colleague, Natasha walked over to me. "Oh, dear, aren't you out of love? Why can't I see your sadness at all?" Natasha usually had a good relationship with me, so I knew that she didn't mean anything. She had called yesterday on while I missed work. I had to let her know all that happened. "Last night, I spent 200 dollars and got a call-boy to comfort my wounded heart," I said with a smile. "Is it useful for such a cheap man?" she curled her lips. As soon as I heard this, I knew that Natasha thought I was joking. We often make all kinds of jokes. Those who don't know must have rich experience in dealing with human nature. But in fact, our private lives are more conservative and not as open as we said. I even told Natasha directly that I had slept with a call boy last night. She also thought that it was just a joke. It couldn't be true. I didn't explain. Just smiled. "Oh, forget to tell you, big news! Our company has a new boss," she suddenly said. My mood was very calm, like a lake without any ripples. I said, "I'm just an assistant. It doesn't matter to me who is the boss." "I've heard that the new CEO is the heir to the Lionel Group. His father is a senior official of the government, and his mother is late. This Boss is handsome and young. Right now, all the women in the company want to take a look at this legendary Boss!" Natasha was getting more and more excited as she spoke. "Well, we can't afford this type." I was still very calm. I had no fantasy about this kind of man who had no possibility of development. At this time, my superior, Mr. Liam came over and said to me very seriously, "The new boss is about to take office. All the staff above the department manager level and above will go to the conference room for a meeting." I quickly took my notebook and pen and followed behind him. Natasha blinked at me. I knew she wanted me to take a picture of the big boss. When I walked into the meeting room, I saw that the room was full of people. I was just an assistant, so I could only sit in a corner. In fact, I was not curious about the big boss at all. At this time, the beautiful face of the man I slept with yesterday appeared in my mind. I thought of the ugly expression on his face when he received 200 dollars. I couldn't help covering my mouth and laughed. I admit that I've gone too far. But he looked at me with contempt. Moreover, he took out his wallet and wanted to send me away as a call girl. I only used the same method to fight back! Just then, a burst of applause sounded, and my thoughts returned to reality. A handsome man in a black suit walked into the meeting room, surrounded by people. Staring at that handsome face for dozens of seconds, I was so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth. W-why... is he here? Something's wrong with my eyes? Thinking of this, I immediately rubbed my eyes with my hands. Hell, I'm sure the guy standing right there is the man who had an erotic night with me. Last night, I spent 200 dollars to sleep with my new boss. My God! Is it still not too late to run away? I recalled what I said to the boss... I said that his skills were not good enough,and I want him to sell at a lower price... Oh, my god! Why should I say that? If he recognized me, would he fire me? No, I can't be fired! My father disown me, my mother is late. I live with Mara and I have to work to assist her. I can't be fire. Calm down! I had to calm down! I took a few deep breaths and tried to keep calm, but my legs were still trembling. I glanced at the man sitting at the forefront and made sure that he didn't look in my direction. Then I felt a little relieved. I lowered my head and covered half of my face with my long hair! Right now, all I could hope for was that the CEO of the firm, Mr. Aldrich Lionel, had never paid attention to me. There were many people in the conference room, so he probably didn't notice me. Every minute and every second was torture for me. The meeting gradually came to an end, and the situation seemed to be better than I had imagined. It seemed that Mr Lionel did not notice me. It was finally time to end my memory. I sneaked out of the conference room in the crowd. The first thing I did when I returned to the office was to catch Natasha and tell her what had happened. She looked at me in shock. "You're so lucky to sleep with the BOSS." "Stop joking. I'm very worried that he will take revenge on me and fire me. I still have expenses to take care oh. I can't lose my job." I was very crazy. I regretted it again. Why did I go to that bar to drink? Why did I have a one-night stand with him? Why did I give him 200 dollars? And why did I satirize him for his poor skills? This situation was too bad. Natasha shrugged. "Don't worry too much. Maybe he didn't notice you at all." Before he could finish his words, the manager's voice rang out. "Anna, Mr. Lionel wants you to go to his office!" Hell! I'm so screwed! "Fuck!" I cursed. I walked into the Boss' office in a nervous and uneasy mood. When I saw the familiar man, my breathing became rapid. The last time we meet, he was still in the hotel, wearing a bathrobe. Now that he's wearing a suit, he's my boss. Life was always full of surprises. Since I entered the office, he had been looking through the documents, as if he hadn't noticed my arrival at all. I looked at his thick hair, took a deep breath, and said in a flattering tone, "Mr. Lionel, what can I do for you?" He raised his head, and I quickly showed a standard smile. I didn't dare to offend the big boss. Mr Lionel was looking me up and down. His eyes were very unfriendly, as if he was disdainful or contemptuous. In short, it made me nervous. I don't like his eyes, which were as disdainful as looking at a humble and weak ant. But I still have to work in his company, so I can only endure for the time being. Finally, he put down the pen in his hand and leaned back on the wide leather seat. He said coldly, "I didn't expect our female employee to be so open." His cold tone, as well as his provocative words, made me couldn't help but reply, "It seems that your private life is also very rich!" I thought to myself, 'We're almost the same. If I'm a dissolute woman, then you're also a playboy!' Mr Lionel gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. I never knew I said that loudly. Oh no, I seem to have angered my boss again... I bite my lower lip. " keep your mouth shut if you wanna keep your job!" I screamed inside my head. "Give me five reason I shouldn't sack you?" he asked. "Huh?" I muttered. I never expected he would ask me such. "I'm sure you can make good use of your eyes Miss Adriana " he said coldedly. He Lean on the chair and played with the pen in his hands. He looks dangerous right now. "Give me five reasons why I should let you keep this job?" he asked and I scoffed inwardly. What a proud Peacock. "So far, I'm doing my job well. I see no reason for you to sack me sir!" I said sincerely and I saw him furrowed his brow. Okay! I have crossed the line. Why can't I just shut it? Fuck! He sigh and returned his gaze to his computer. "What are my schedules for today?" he asked. "Sir?" I called. "Are you deaf?" he yelled making me freak out. Can someone tell this man am his assistant not Secretary. "You know what?. Leave my office?" he said. "Okay Sir." I replied and hurriedly left. Once I was out, I release the breath I never knew I was holding. What a boss. I just hoped I can cope with him. On heck sake, why did he have to be my boss. Fuck !
