The Assistant's Dilemma

Ch.3

"Okay But is he hot?" Angelina ask me as I'm on the phone with her.

"Really?"

"What? For you not me , I'm taken" I can hear her smile through the phone

"He's good looking" I admit

"Pussy answer Court"

"I'm not gonna call my boss hot"

"Why not? He can't hear you"

"Because that's weird" I roll my eyes

"Okay but like is he giving BDE?" She ask

"I'm gonna hang up now....." I say to her

"Sorry sorry I'll shut up"

"I do have to go though. I have to finish these last couple folders up and call a couple numbers before tomorrow" I tell her

"Of course of course get that work done for your bosssssss"

"You're so annoying" I laugh

"Call me tomorrow after work , you can tell me all about your work dayyyy"

"Goodbye Angie , love youuu"

"Love you more" she hangs up and set my phone aside after pulling out these folders I was giving today.

I did most of the work while I was at the building today. It is a lot of folders and a lot of numbers to call. I only have about 5 numbers and maybe like 10-15 folders to sort out. It's not that bad and I mean at this rate there's no way I'm gonna quit this job.

Shorting a couple folders , making a couple calls for some good money I mean why would I leave this job? I'm gonna finish these last things up and then head to bed. I can not be late again or I will lose the job.

(6:00am)

I hit the stop button my phone to cut my alarm off. I really wanna lay back down for 10 more minutes but we know how that will end. I slowly gather myself out of bed and into the bathroom to start getting ready.

(7:48) I walk into the building folders and everything I need in my hands. As I reach the receptionist desk she gives me a warm smile.

"Good Morning Ms.Rhodes"

"Good morning" I smile back and she hands me a small box.

"Please hand this to Mr.Ford when you see him , he's waiting for you"

"Will do , thank you"

I go to the elevator where I see that guy from yesterday again. "Courtney right?"

"Yes hi, umm I'm not too good with names" he lets out a short laugh

"Joshua" he reminds me

"Yes hi Joshua" I say as we step into the elevator "what floor are you going to"

"17" I hit the 17 and then 20 which is the floor I'm heading to.

We begin to feel the elevator go up. "What's all that stuff" he points at the stuff in my hands

"Some stuff I had to do for Mr.Ford and then a package I need to give him from downstairs"

He nods "How is he? Bad as everyone says?"

"Well I've only known him for a day so I mean I guess so far so good" I shrug

"Right , well if you ever need anything just let me know I'd be glad to help" We smile at each other "this is my stop , I'll see you around"

He gets off and then the elevator takes me upstairs to the top floor.

I knock on the door "come in" I walk in slowly to see him sitting at his desk writing on some notebook of his. "Ms.Rhodes nice of you to show up at ..... 7:54" he looks at his watch

"Is that sarcasm?" I ask him

"No not at all , you're on time that's good"

"Umm here's the folders and you had a package downstairs that I was told to bring up" he takes the folders and then the package as he sets everything on the small end table next to him.

"Thank you" He reads the label on the package and then looks at me "I hope I didn't put too much work on you for your first day but you look like the type that can do It all"

I squint my eyes in confusion "what's that supposed to mean"

"You look like a hard working"

I nod not knowing what to say.

"Please take a seat" I take a seat in the chair

"The last two numbers didn't answer when I called" I let him know

"Well did you call again?" He ask

"No sir , but I did leave a message"

"A message? Really?" He makes eye contact with me. "Businesses like that have over hundreds of messages they aren't gonna check those" he shakes his head

"Sorry I'll call again but-" he cuts me off

"Yeah you will call again , call a couple times and if they still don't answer let me know"

He starts flipping through a notebook while also looking at his computer every couple of seconds. "I need you to order these for me"

He hands me a list of things. "Two of everything" he writes a couple things down and hands the paper to me. "Research these companies , they wanna partner with us but we need to make sure they legit first"

"Will do" i agree.

"I need you to schedule these meetings for me too , here's my schedule. Fit these meetings in somewhere" He Hands me a small planner.

"Is that it?" I ask

"Is this too much for Ms.Rhodes?"

"No that's not what I'm saying I'm just asking"

He looks back down at his desk "I would certainly hope not"

"If you don't mind will be a doll and go in the kitchen to get me my coffee in the fridge in the red cup"

I stand up and walk into kitchen next to his office. I open the fridge and grab the one is is talking about. "Here you go" I hand it to him

"Thank you" He takes a slow sip before setting it down "downstairs in the first meeting room I would love if you'd go down and set up for my big meeting tonight"

I grab my things

"Everything you need is in there , have a nice day ...... Ms.Rhodes" he smirks real quick and then takes his attention to his work.

"You too Mr.Ford"
