I followed him inside his office room. 

Just as big as our bedroom. Why does he need this big ass office to his own??

I was not listening what he spoke... I was watching everything carefully to not miss any details. Never in my life I have visited my parents' office.... 

I come to my senses when I hear him clearing his voice...

"Yes? Did you call me?", I asked him... 

"Yes actually. This is the CEO's office to be precise. I just happen to be the CEO. Before that my father used it. And now it is mine."

I nod... So, he is the CEO now. Just like my father. Okay.

He calls me once again, this time by my name.

"Esme?"

"uh- yes?"

"Did you like this office??", His doe eyes were confusing me to the best. Why was he even asking opinion to a person who doesn't have an opinion and whose opinion is not important?

"I am okay with it.", I flashed a smile which was to save my nervous ass. 

Why the f*ck am I even nervous?? 

"So, correct this document sitting here for an hour. You just have to check the spells and grammar. Okay? I have a meeting. I will come here after it will be done."

With that he passes me the file and walks away. 

What??????? 

Me? Correcting the file???? 

Wtf-

Where did I get myself into?????

I cried out in my mind.... My life became a mess now. 

But as I started to look into the file, I was able to find out the mistakes. I do remember the little grammar I was taught when I was small.

But... why am I doing this now??? 

Can't he afford an editor for this job??? What is he up to? Making me work. Huh!!!!!

I looked at the last page and sigh heavily... I am TIRED! 

I am FUCKING TIRED! MY HANDS ARE ACHING!!!!

This is not my thing. Why am I here??? 

I threw the pen on the table and lay down on the couch on which I was sitting on. It was enough. I can't help myself to close the pen and file anymore. My finger was swollen. 

This proves that I didn't hold pen for long. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to study. 

While thinking about those... I was completely zoned out, looking at the ceiling. 


I snapped out of it when I heard the door unlocking. Shit! He is here. 

 "Are you sleeping?????? Wow!"

"NO, I am not. And yes, I am done with this and everything. I am going home-"

Why is he laughing?! 

AM I A CLOWN?!!! 

"Why are you laughing?? D-did I make a mistake? "

"No no I am just- nothing. Okay I will stop. So, you are done with everything?"
