My morning alarm for four am rings and I scramble out of bed to begin my day, I prefer to wake up early so I never have to rush for anything and by the time I'm ready for work , work will be ready for me . I go to the gym room and do a little bit of tread mill for thirty minutes then I do sit-ups and Russian twists for another thirty minutes making it five am.
I read through my schedule and work plan sent to me by my assistant, Jasmine , she gives me a run down of all the meetings I have today before finally going for her trip, I call her , ring ring , " good morning Mr candreva " she greets , " jasmine , tell the sub assistant to come over to my house," I say to her analyzing the last meeting minutes I had been reading through ,
"sir do you mean now ? " she asks sounding so shocked like I haven't called her by one am , " is there a problem? " I ask wondering why she is questioning my choice , " no sir I'll call her and send her your address" she says then ends the call.
I walk round my house admiring the black galaxy tiles that cover the walls , running my hands through the thick velvet black curtains matching with the sofa , I look at a painting my dad had got for me just before he died , he always said the sweetest things "Cortigo ergo sum" it said translating to " I think therefore I am" I remember those Latin lessons father would make my siblings and I take .
My heart feels heavy and bile begins to form in my throat so I move on not wanting to breakdown , I haven't done that in a while I'm not about to break my bad boy streak. "Ding dong " my door bell rings , "grant access Alexa " I say to Alexa , my digital friend , a ginger head light skin , tall with slender legs in a work skirt stopping above her knees and a v necked office shirt walks into my home , "hmm not bad " I say mentally.
"Good morning sir , my name is Acela monreau , I'll be your personal assistant till jasmine gets back" , she says , impressed she hasn't tried to seduce me . "Okay , this is my home and you'll be over here a lot for the main time , I'll give you a small tour" . I show her the kitchen , I show her my room , I show her my home office . After the tour I lead her to my sitting room and we converse about business and work , I look to my grandfather clock hung in the middle of the room and it's almost six.
" alright enough of the chit chat I'm going to shower please bring out an appropriate work outfit for me , I believe you can find your way to my closet?" I ask her trying to peacefully depart from her irking presence , she nods slightly and I walk away from her.
ACELA 's POV
Such an obnoxious little tall handsome bastard , who is he to tell me to find an outfit for him . I say to my self while scrolling through the different suits he has , I end up settling on a black Armani suit and a black glossy tie . I set it up on the hanger for him and knock twice on his bathroom door , "yes?" He replies all proud , asshole , "Mr candreva your suit is on the hanger , I'll be waiting downstairs" I say and walk away not waiting for his reply.
I take my time to properly admire his choice of furniture and design and I must say he isn't as tasteless as I thought , money isn't tasteless and he is quite wealthy , a little voice at the back of my mind states and I can't lie . "Cortigo ergo sum" , I think therefore I am , I am quite fluent in Latin and French seeing as I was born from a French origin , I help my self with a cup of coffee while waiting for his royale highness to grace me with his presence.
I open the blue office file Jasmine gave me as a brief yesterday to proof read on his allergies and his schedule , " lactose intolerant, heat and seafood , dang I wonder if he turns into a big red ball of anger" I say outloud laughing at my joke. I hear the door open and footsteps cascading down the stairs , I down the remains of my coffee and stand awaiting his presence. He steps in and I am beyond stunned , he is wearing a completely different suit not even close to the one I chose , the only thing he wore that I even picked was the watch .
" black on Wednesday does not fit me , I prefer brown" he says making his way to the door and I don't follow behind , wow I didn't know colors had days too , I was way to stunned to speak or even move , "I don't think you're my home assistant " with that I'm snapped out of my trance gathering all my work files and my bag and follow closely behind him . Oh dear I'm about to be one hell of an assistant.
