Chapter 3 Task for Alexandra

Alexa was forced to turn Ef down and asked to meet at lunchtime. After all, it was her first day at work, wasn't it also Ef's wish who asked her to work there.

Ef should at least understand Alexa's position a little. Luckily Ef accepted Alexa's reasoning and they would meet at lunchtime.

"Finally, Mr. Ef understands too," Alexa muttered.

Afterward, she followed Arley's lead, but ended up in a different room.

Alexa opened the door to her room where a man was already inside, and sat at her desk.

"Excuse me, are you-"

"My name is Alvin, I'm Mr. Arley Williams' personal assistant," said the man named Alvin.

Wait! Alexa didn't understand, did that mean she had been fired before she started working?

"I just applied yesterday and was accepted to be Mr. Arley's personal assistant," Alexa said.

The woman still had a confused look on her face.

"Yes, I know." Alvin said very briefly with a flat face.

"Then, why are you still working here?"

"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Arley having two personal assistants?" asked Alvin.

"So, two assistants?" Alexa asked back.

"Here's a tab for you, I have all of Mr. Arley's schedule recorded there and do what you have to do." Alvin quickly left Alexandra after she accepted the tab he gave her.

Alexa stared at the tab in her hand, not confused by it, but rather why did Arley have two assistants? Was being a CEO so busy?

"I'll learn first, what my job is to be the personal assistant of a young CEO," Alexa chuckled.

The woman took her place in her work chair and began reading the tab.

"Uh, what the hell is this? Why are my duties only to prepare breakfast and lunch," Alexa muttered in the midst of her shock.

"What is this too? The rest will be direct orders from Mr. Arley," Alexa said as she read the tab screen.

Alexa looked back at her appearance, already wearing a span skirt with a floral shirt top.

"I'm already neatly dressed like this, why just prepare food. Where's the office work?"

***

Alexa rushed to Arley's room after receiving the lunch order that she had left with the OB there to buy. She actually liked her job a lot, because once she learned her job, she could sleep until Arley's lunch hour.

"Excuse me," Alexa greeted with a smile.

Arley had just taken off the glasses she usually wore while at work. She looked at Alexa who walked over to the table near the sofa.

"Put it away, I don't like messy things!"

"Yes, please enjoy your lunch, sir." Alexa stood up to face Arley.

Arley walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"Sit down," Arley pleaded.

Alexa gasped when she heard Arley's words, so she confirmed them once more.

"You mean, Mister-"

"Sit down and taste all this food first," Arley said.

Alexa still didn't understand why she had to taste food that even Arley often ate.

"What for?"

"To make sure that there is no poison in this food, you are a new employee. In case you put poison in my food," Arley said casually.

"That's fine! I may look sadistic, but my heart is sweet. How could I do something like that," Alexa said.

Slightly annoyed, she flung her butt next to Arley, and began tasting the three courses of food on the table.

"Delicious." Alexa nodded her head feeling her tongue being spoiled by the food.

Alexa turned to Arley. "Already. It's safe, look at me alright, right?"

Arley nodded slightly. "Drink too," Arley pleaded.

"God, he's so suspicious," Alexa thought.

"Sure, want me to taste it too? My lipstick will stick to the glass, sir," Alexa said.

"Hurry up."

Alexa exhaled softly, and quickly tried Arley's drink.

"That's it. I'm still fine, don't suspect me anymore. I couldn't have committed such a crime," Alexa said.

"Alright, you can come out," Arley pleaded without looking back at Alexa.

After finishing her work, Alexa hurried out of the office to the restaurant where Ef was already waiting.

"Right, this is the restaurant." Alexa read the message on her phone while staring at the name of the restaurant.

She immediately took her steps into the restaurant and was immediately directed to the vip room by the employee there, after she mentioned Ef's name.

"What the hell is there to talk about, to book a VIP room?" grumbled Alexa.

Arriving in the room, she was immediately presented with the sight of a man who was staring at her. Honestly, Alexa was more afraid to see Ef if, compared to Arley. The man in front of her seemed to be more dominating, sometimes she felt uncomfortable around Ef.

"Excuse me. Good afternoon, sir," Alexa greeted.

"Afternoon Alexa, have a seat. I've been waiting for your arrival since earlier," Ef said.

Alexa walked over to where Ef was sitting, and the woman sat down on a chair opposite Ef at a round table filled with food and drinks.

"How was your work today?" asked Ef.

"Fine, I did very well," Alexa replied feeling proud of herself.

"What do you know about Arley?" asked Ef leaning back in his chair.

Alexa thought back to Ef's question. Really, she knew nothing about the CEO of the Williams Group company.

"I don't know anything yet," Alexa replied.

"Do you know what designs he is working on and which companies he will be working with?" asked Ef.

Instead of answering, Alexa looked confused at Ef. Because, of all the questions of the man in front of her, the answer was just don't know.

Alexa shook her head, making Ef chuckle in annoyance.

"What exactly do you do there, do you just sleep?" There was a disappointed tone from Ef, as he received a shake of the head from Alexa.

"Since morning, I've only been sleeping. And my job there was just preparing Mr. Arley's lunch. I haven't gotten any work for the office like you said," Alexa replied.

"Sleeping?" Ef clenched his hands under the table. Alexa, meanwhile, just nodded.

"I asked you to spy, Arley Williams. Not to sleep and relax, Alexa!"

Alexa's chest felt so tight, she wanted to cry seeing Ef so angry with her.

"I'm new there too, Mister-"

"Yes, since you're new there, it will be easier to find out what Arley is up to. You can pretend to ask, Alexa!" Ef was furious with the young woman before him.

"I don't want to know, you have to report anything about Arley," Ef said.

Alexa sighed, she had to be able to carry out Ef's orders.

"And, this is the most important thing." Ef handed a flashdrive to Alexa.

a flashdrive to Alexa.

"What is this for?"

"Copy the important files on Arley's laptop. Don't get caught. If, failing that ... you'll know the consequences."
