Spontaneous Attachment

12

"Rise and shine,the early bird gets the food first"

I pulled the duvet up to cover my face with a groan,it can't be morning yet.

"Go away Zaid"
I grumbled feeling annoyed

"You know I have a very important meeting this morning right?"

"And how does it concern me?"
I asked half unconscious

"Because you're my chauffeur,and you also have work"

Does he have to remind me?

"Zaid?"

"Yes Fauzia"

"Get out"

"But ......"

I opened my face and glared at him,he raised his hands in mock surrender and left the room.

With a frustrated sigh, I got up from the bed and did my morning routine before heading out. I can't believe it's already Monday.

"I'm off,and I won't wait for you"
I told Zaid as I passed him in the living room and walked to the front door.

"Won't you have breakfast?"
He asked standing up

"No thank you,I'll grab some on the way"

He shrugged and followed me to the car. "So where am I taking you to" I questioned when we were both seated inside.

"MBC"

I put on the Quran recitation and slowly drove towards the company,it was on the way to the hospital I work at.

Driving into the large compound with lots of cars already parked at the parking lot, I found a place to park and turned to Zaid.

"You can leave, I have work"

"But you'll have to wait for me,dearest chauffeur"
He smiled innocently

Again,remind me why I had agreed to this

"Fine whatever"
I muttered as I phoned Doc Arman to inform him that I wouldn't be able to make it early to work.

We both alighted and made our way into the company. I couldn't help admire the building. It was built entirely with glass and MBC was written in bold letters at the highest peak of the building,which approximately has forty floors.

We went to the receptionist at the reception and she greeted us with professional smile.

"Welcome to MBC,how can we help you"

"I have an appointment with Mr Salman" Zaid told her with a straight face.

"You have to wait for a moment, he's not on sit,but will be here any moment,sorry for the inconveniences. you can wait at the lobby"
She said pointing at a beautiful decorated area and Zaid nodded before walking away.

"Hi,I'm Fauzia"
I said to her with a smile.

"Claudia"
She replied as she continued typing on her keyboard her eyes on the monitor screen.

"When do you think CEO would be here,it's past eight already"

She stopped what she was doing and turned to face me.

"He comes whenever he wishes"

"Seriously,and he even has a meeting,does he think we would wait for him all day"
I said rolling my eyes

Claudia chuckled

"He's really bossy and arrogant,you just have to be patient"

We started a nice conversation and I learned more about her Boss,who doesn't care about anyone except his work. He fires his workers at any slight mistake and was never seen with a lady except his family members on occasions.

The atmosphere suddenly changed as all chatters ceased,the only sound that was heard were that of the air conditioners.

Claudia's eyes widened as she stared behind me,fear clouding her features "miss Dawson"
A deep voice called and if possible,the place became quieter.

"Yes sir"
She answered looking down at her fingers which were slightly trembling.

"Do I pay you to gossip around?"
The owner of the deep voice asked in a very cold voice.

I turned around to see the the person and opened my mouth in surprise. He was the one... I suddenly recalled our conversation with Zoya yesterday and connected the dots.

He's one of the most handsome guys of the country...and one of the most richest....the owner of MBC.

"No sir,I'm sorry sir"
Claudia said visibly scared.

"Meet me at my office"
He said and strode away to the elevator. I watched as he entered and the doors closed.

"Wh..what was that about?"
I asked after finding my voice.

"I think he's going to fire me,and I don't even know how to start looking for another job"
Claudia sobbed.

"It's okay,he won't fire you,let's go and meet him"

It was my fault after all for starting a conversation
She nodded and we went to the elevator. She pressed the top floor once we entered and the doors closed as we were lifted.

Claudia stared at me nervously when we stepped out of the lift. The hallways were cold and not so welcoming,just like the owner.

She knocked gently on the marble door and we heard a faint come in.

She went inside while I stayed out,I'll make my entrance later.

Moments later, I made my entrance.

"You're fired"
He told her nonchalantly

"No,she's not"
I said quickly

He looked up from the documents he was staring at and raised a quizzical brow, I could read the question in his eyes who's the boss?

The office was plain with a few paintings here and there,a table facing the door with the glass wall behind giving full view to the city below. There were some couches by the left side of the office with a table in the middle.
It was plain simple yet magestic.

"It wasn't her fault, I was just asking her some questions,she wasn't gossiping"

"It's non of my concern"
He told me coldly.

I walked to his table and sat on one of the chairs facing him
"Do you think it's fair,what you are doing. She obviously depend on the salary she earn from this company,don't you have conscience"

"Can you leave my office?"

"Not untill you change your mind"
We started at each other in the eyes,non of us ready to back down.

"Fine" he said with much reluctance "Miss Dawson shall continue to work here,but tardiness isn't accepted"

I ain't good with descriptions,am I? Hahaha.
Anyways,thank you so much:,-)
