The CEO's surrogate

Chapter 6

Mikayla's POV

It was my first day of work and I was kinda excited . Mainly because I got hired without any qualifications or anything that you require in a job interview.

Anyways , I stood in front of my mirror looking at my outfit wondering if it was presentable for the first day . This time I wore lycra pants and a white button up blouse . My hair was tied up and I wore my glasses this time only because they made me look smart .

Me Russo said I had to be there by 9 am sharp and once I glanced at the clock I panicked . It was 8:35 and my Uber still hadn't arrived yet .

I searched up on Google how long it took to get to the company and it said fifteen minutes,tools so it wasn't really that bad to be fair .

As I left my apartment I made sure to lick it just in case Liam decided to walk in or break my door down . I really should her a restraining order against him but I need to have a reason. 

Why does life have to be so difficult ?

By the time I arrived it was seven minutes part nine and I was hoping they he wouldn't be mad . I mean if you hired someone the day before and they were late on the first day I'd sack them to .

The elevator came to a stop and the two sliding doors slid open , his office was the furthest away .

For some reason I was nervous to see him , one because I was late and two he was very intimidating and I  couldn't deny the fact that he turned me on .

I lightly knocked on his door waiting for a response and when it was okay to go in I did so . There stood his wife right beside him with a not so good look on his face and himself not to happy sitting beside her .

"Sorry is this not a good time ? I can come back later ?" I said just about to leave "no stay my wife was just leaving-"

"Alessandro we are not finished with this conversation!" She snapped before storming out the room slightly nudging me causing me to quietly wince . "Ouch."

"I'm sorry about my wife we had a tiny little disagreement about something what's up?"

"Oh Erm is sorry I'm late my Uber came a little late-"

"It's okay have a seat we have things to discuss." 

Once again I sat in front of him and couldn't help but look directly in his eyes since he was already staring at me "your office is right next to mine and as you know Kaylee is your manager , she will direct you on when I want you to do something and only you will do it . When it comes to making coffee you don't have to worry about that Kaylee has that all sorted , you'll start off easy by just printing of work that I send you to writing emails , just the way stuff-"

"Is that all I'm getting paid 800 dollars a week for ? Writing emails ?"

He nodded "that's to easy and it's to much you don't have to-"

"I want you I just know your gonna be a hardworking person and I want you to earn credit ."

"Yes but what about the other employees?"

"If they have an issue they will come directly to me and if there not happy with what I choose then why get sacked-"

"So if I wasn't happy with a decision you made you would fire me ? That's sounds s little cruel."

He scoffed "cruel ? In what way-"

"Your not giving your employees a chance to speak up , if they see something that they don't like or aren't happy with they have a right to speak up for that, saying how I'm disagreeing with you right now are you gonna fire me ?"

"No."

"Why?" I questioned , I was the type of person that if something wasn't right I would speak up for it . I mean everyone has the rights to speak and the right to be heard .

"Because I just hired you yesterday and yes I know it may sound cruel but at the end of the day they do have a choice because there the ones that want to come and work for me ." 

I took.  A deep breath "sorry I went over the top I shouldn't have argued back-"

He cut me off from my sentence "it's okay I like how your not afraid."

"Of you?" I scoffed blowing a raspberry "I could never be?" Mr Russo smiled "you are definitely scared of me."

"I just find you intimidating-"

"That's the same thing ." He responded and I smiled "Erm I think I should get going now."

"Yeah I'll get Kaylee to come up so she can help you ."

I nodded standing up from my seat "when do I finish today?"

"When I'm finished . And Mikaela."

"Yeah?"

"You look good." I felt my cheeks heating up as he said that and he seemed to notice this . "t-thanks."

Why the hell am I stuttering? 

He seemed to notice the effect he had on me despite only knowing him for a couple weeks. I didn't expect it to be like this . But I might just have feelings for him.
