HIS CHILDHOOD PRINCESS

3-THE CAFE

Alyssha's POV

I sigh as I sign yet another paper. Looking at the clock it's 5PM already.It's Friday and I can't wait till I go home, change into my PJ and watch some action or horror movie. But I still have piles of papers on my desk which will take another two or three hours at least. I don't like to carry forward my work as it will only keep piling up and will delay the work.

I called my PA Nicole to get me coffee and a sandwich from the office cafeteria. She is a beautiful, petite, 26 year old and single lady and has been working with me since I started my company. I heard my office door open after 2 knocks. I didn't bother to look up as I know that must be Nicole.

"Ma'am, I have finished all the paperwork. Do you have anything else for me to do?" She asks while placing my coffee and sandwich on the desk. Her voice holds so much hope that I will say no and she can go home.

Of Course she will be in a hurry to go home. It's friday after all. Unlike me, they have friends and life.

"What are your plans today?" I asked without looking at her but I didn't get a reply right away. I look up and there, she is looking at me with wide surprised eyes. She is caught off guard as I never ask any employee about their personal life.

I raise my eyebrows when she doesn't reply for five good minutes. "Umm..I am planning to go to a club with my friends." she says, feeling a little awkward.

"Take this and enjoy the evening" I said with an emotionless face as I placed the envelope on the desk. I am not a very affectionate person who likes to show emotions.

She opens it and sequels in happiness seeing VIP passes of my newly opened night club. The work has been very hectic lately and she has worked really hard. Many times she stayed over longer than her normal working hours. So I decided to give her little reward.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much ma'am" She starts saying in her very high pitch voice.

"Yaah Yaah. Now leave before I change my mind and ask you to get back to work." She gulped loudly and looked at me with wide eyes. I raise my eyebrow at her and she gets scared. She thanks me one more time before sprints out of the office.

I sigh and start my paper work again. It's almost 9 by the time I finish my paperwork. I lock my office and get into the private elevator. Even though I always use a private elevator, most employees know me.

I am not a friendly boss at all, in fact I am known as a very cold and emotionless person in a professional life. I like to do surprise visits and I usually fire any employee on the spot, who lacks behind in the work. I don't give a second chance and I love to see fear for me in their eyes because I am their boss and not a friend. It just helps me to run my company smoothly.

I also have to be very tough and strong because the world is full of sexist people, specifically the business world. People are ready to eat you alive at a first chance they get, especially a young and lone woman with no family background.

I own many companies and hotels in many countries but I cannot travel all the time. So I have my own spies and informers at each place who keep me posted with anything and everything going on there, especially frauds. I usually have multiple at each location but hidden from each other. Of course I don't trust them blindly and I still do surprise visits every chance I get but this system helps me to reduce the stress.

My company is very well known in public and elites as it's already a part of top five companies within three years of establishment but no one knows the name and face behind it unless they are my clients or business partners.

I mostly go to work in a hoodie and sweatpant. I have few professional attires in the office in case I have any meetings otherwise I like to be in my comfortable baggy clothes.
