"No disrespect Mrs King, but I've been in this job a longer time that yourself. I think I would know." Liam, one of the men who work in King Industries said smugly, moving between his feet in an awkward stance.
"Well with all due respect Liam. I'm your boss now, if I think that we should have new shipments brought in on a Monday the. That's what will happen. If you don't agree with me then speak to Mr King. My husband." Yes, okay I'm a terrible person I used the 'I'm married to the boss card' but in all fairness I've been working here for a week and the lack of respect some people show me is extremely hurtful.
"I-I..." That's what I thought. "If you have a problem Liam then I'm more than happy to talk to Mr King about it. However, please don't forget I'm your boss now, what I say goes and if you don't like that, give me you notice and I'll find your replacement." I said with a smile on my face. He clicked his tongue then gave me a tight lipped smile.
"Of course Mrs King." He turned without another word and left my office. I sighed happily relaxing back in my chair and clicking opened my e-mails. It was almost one pm and Ashton still haven't arrived. He always comes to see me at work.
I took my phone out of my purse and clicked onto Ashtons number. After a few rings he picked up.
"Hey." I mused. "Hello babe." He chimed back. "Where are you? You always come here at twelve." He let out a long sigh, I could tell he was stressed. "I've been busy all morning. I'm heading over now." I stood up from my desk, picking up my coffee cup.
"No it's fine. Get your work done, I'm busy here to. I just wanted to make sure you where ok. Once I'm done here I'm going to the grocery store then I'll be home." I walked out my office closing the door behind me, listening to Ashtons chuckle.
"Your becoming quite the wife. Going to the grocery store?" I rolled my eyes smiling at he few familiar faces which passed by me. "Don't expect this all the time. Soon enough, you'll be lucky if you get a coffee in the morning." I said, pacing placing my cup down once I had got into the break room.
"Whatever you say my love. On another note...the cateros will be here shortly, are you still alright to pick up their anniversary present or do you want me to go get it now?" I glanced down to my watch as I placed my cup under the machine. "I'll get it once I'm done at the grocery store." I could hear on the other side of the phone that Valentino had came into Ashton's office.
"I need to go. I'll see you soon." I sighed. "Ok, love you." I hung up before he could reply then took my fresh coffee and walked back through the office.
