I Need to Forget The CEO!!

Chapter 2 - Miss Margaret

Day 3 wasn't as awful as day 1 or 2, but definitely still not good. I saw Margaret again on break, but unfortunately didn't pass her by much during the day. We exchanged numbers and have been texting since.

{On phone}

Margaret: Heyyy girl, I'm bored asf

Lyric: me too tbh can't wait to leave

Margaret: Lol girl. I heard Mr. Maddox is coming in today

Margaret: I didn't even tell you about him yet, he's so hot, hotter than my Pete

Lyric: careful, hr.

{Off phone}

I shoved my phone back into my pocket and went back to my computer. Last night I submitted the last of my personal info to Mr. Maddox. He wanted me to answer questions like school and work history all the way to family members and relationship status... I thought it was weird but I guess it makes sense since we will be up close and personal so often.

"Yo yo." the chubby man, who I've learned to call Nathan, summoned me.

I sighed, "Yes?"

"What are you doing later, I'm free." He asked.

No way is he asking me that. Especially after how rude he's been. "Sleeping, Nathan."

"With me?" I made a clearly disgusted face and chose to ignore him.

He got angry and shut my laptop, squishing my fingers. "No need to be a bitch."

He mumbled "used up whore" and rolled back over to his desk. I hate men like that. I quickly texted Margaret "Sos" which we agreed would mean an immediate bathroom meet up.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"What's up cupcake are you okay?" She asked with concern.

I clenched my fist and tried to hold my voice back from yelling, "Fucking Nathan is an actual douchebag, he hit on me and then called me a bitch and a used up whore when I rejected him. How the fuck am I supposed to accept him when he's been such an asshole to me? Like , the fuck?"

She made a disgusted face, which was new to me, then got angry as well, "That's absurd, I really hated him ever since I first met him. He called me, and I quote, 'breedable'. Pete told me about it. Nathan and Sean and the rest of the sales douches regularly discuss the attractiveness of girls and their sexual capabilities. It's actually quite gross."

Despite the situation, I laughed. She smiled with confusion, "What's so funny?"

I giggled and said , "Aren't you the same with Peter though? I'm calling Hr for how much of a hypocrite you are!!"

I'm glad I met up with Margaret.

Typing on the computer was extremely boring. I was given the task to copy some paragraphs from online about automotive industries. Victor may have been a bit condescending, but it turns out he is really just trying to help me. He gave me some advice on what to do and told me to do some research on the industry. I worked in a car dealership for a while, but selling them is about all I know about them. Now, I'm supposed to work as the secretary of the literal boss of an automotive company. It's a lot of pressure.

{On phone}

Margaret: Girllll guess who just walked into the building

Lyric: no way

Margaret: Yes. He's hear, straighten up and look presentable, boss is a bit picky

{Off phone}

I hear from the sales doors Victor doing some excessive greeting. Mr. Maddox's voice was muffled but the people walking in and out of sales seemed to be shocked to see him. I guess the CEO coming to a different sector may be a bit of pressure.

I was definitely nervous. This is gonna be the person I'm working close by and should be perfect for. Yes, I'm a little clumsy, but I think I'm capable enough. I see Victor come around the corner with a curly haired lady, which I'll assume is Rebecca, leading Mr.Maddox into the room .

Wow, this is a problem. Mr. Maddox was handsome. Really handsome. His hair was black and fluffy, but it was pushed back neatly, leaving just a strand falling onto his face. His eyes were a deep gray, not blue nor black, but a charcoal gray that I've never seen before. His skin was slightly tanned and his body was very fit. He was dressed in a black suit that complimented his sharp appearance. His jaw could cut diamonds. His face was so perfect, and so much more attractive than I even imagined. Working with him personally... I can't even imagine.

His voice was a low rasp, but not enough to be considered raspy. He spoke and silenced the room,"Where is Ms. Beau?"

Rebecca, who I'm sure the lady beside Victor was, glared at me as I stood up to make myself known.

"Hi, Mr.Maddox, I'm Lyric." I spoke politely.

He didn't say anything, but instead stared at me for a long while. The room was silent as he interacted with me. Everyone was awaiting his actions.

"Alright, I believe you've been doing some training? Do you mind following me?" He approached me and grabbed my coffee and pencil case. I thanked him and picked up my laptop and folder. I didn't expect him to be courteous, and I don't think anyone there did either.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I entered the Administration sector and was introduced to many new faces. Admin contained the owners of Maddox dealerships and foreign operators. These were the big guys.

The male to female ratio was not shocking, with only 4 out of 20. I noticed a redhead, another girl with an appearance similar to Margaret's, then two foxy women. One of the two seemed to be dissatisfied with my arrival. She actually seemed angry.

Mr. Maddox entered his office with my things, and I followed. He placed them down and then turned on the privacy glass. It was now just me and him alone.

He sat down swiftly and motioned me to the seat in front of his desk.
