Olive wakes up at the first light of the day, it was her first day as the personal assistant to the billionaire mogul Alexander Hendrix, the chairman of Drix Tech.Company. She went for the job interview a week ago and was so happy when she received an email that she got the job and can resume that week. Olive hurriedly did her normal morning routine and went down stairs for breakfast and her mom was making that for the family.

“Good morning mom, she greeted with broad smiles on her face immediately she saw her mom coming out of the kitchen.

“Good morning princess, she answered as she serves the breakfast.

“Where is your brother?, inquires mrs Lane

“Mom, you know not to do this everyday,Daniel chirped in.

“Says  dumb ass prince, Olive retorted as she sat down to have her meal

“Good morning mom, Daniel greets as he walks to sit beside his elder sister

“Good morning prince Daniel and I hope you had a good night rest, queried mrs Lane.

“Yes mom, just that I don’t have enough rest. Must I wake up early to go to the shop and still come back late and besides I would be working full time now that this eye poking queen has gotten a new job, Daniel ended”

“That’s your problem, Olive said with a smirk on her face as she hurriedly left for work.

“Be fast mr man so that we don’t be late, Said mrs Lane.

Olive boarded her taxi and left for the company.

Olive Lane comes from an average family, money was one thing they didn’t have in sufficiency but love, peace, and unity were. She lost her father when she was still in high school and when she was finally admitted into the university, things had been hard for them but somehow, she and her mother had found a way to pay her tuition through it. It wasn’t easy but they had gotten by.

Olive remembered how she had vowed that once she graduated, she was going to get a good job and start supporting her mother and little brother but life after school hadn’t been a joke.

She was helping her mother to run their small fried chicken store, it was the only thing their father had left for them. She loves cooking, so she enjoyed her time there but the income hadn’t been sufficient enough for them since the rent is very high. But now she has gotten a good paying job and now she would be able to pay off their debts.

Her thought was cut short when the driver told her that they had reached their destination, she paid the driver, alighted and quickly rushed into the company building. She didn’t want to be late on her first day at work.

She was amazed at how magnificent and luxurious the company looks. It was her first time seeing the inside of the company main building. They had their interview outside the main building.

She was still looking around when she bumped into someone, as she picked up her fallen items and looked up to see who she bumped into. Just as her eyes met with his crystal blue eyes,his face was perfectly shaped, he was tall, handsome and good looking.

“Stop drooling “, he said while looking at her with disgust.

She couldn’t say anything as she was dumbfounded, he is a true masterpiece of nature’s art.

When she came to her right senses,he had already left. His perfection was enough to erase how he looked at her disgusted like some pigs.

Staring at her wristwatch, she quickly dashed off as she will be running late.

She had just finished with the final touch of her boss office when the door opened and a tall handsome man in his late sixties walked in.

“Good morning sir”, Olive greeted immediately the chairman walked in.

“Good morning”, he responded as he took his seat. “You must be my assistant right? he asked as he took a sip from his coffee mug.

“Yes sir, am Olive Lane sir”, she replied avoiding eye contact with him. She has seen him before on television, that’s the only way she had recognized him since that was the first time seeing him in person.

“Thanks for the coffee”, he said as he took another sip.

“Am honored sir”, she responded. He must really love the coffee, she made an inquiry and found out that he loves black coffee with two cubes of sugar, no milk, she thought.

“I need you to work on this document for me and I would need it for a meeting later in the day”, he said as he sip the last portion of the coffee and drop the mug on the table.

“Yes sir”, she replied as she picked up the documents and the mug on the table before she left the office.

Her desk was just outside the chairman’s office, she sat down and began to work on the document and there were a lot to do. “First day ain’t gonna be easy”, she thought.

Few minutes later; Olive has already finished with the documents and she was printing them when the telephone rang, she picked it up.

“Hello, how may I be of help to you “, she said calmly.

“I need you to send the documents to director when you are done”, said the voice on the other end of the line.

“Yes sir”, she replied, it was the chairman.

She dropped back the receiver and went to pick up the documents from the printer and left for the director’s office.

It didn’t took her much time to locate the director’s office since the employee manager had shown her some of the offices she would be reporting to including the CEO’s office which sited on the same floor as the chairman’ office. She had heard few things about the chairman’s son but has not met him. Let’s hope he is as nice as his father, she thought. But he was definitely the opposite.

She knocked at the door.
“come in,” said a voice from inside.
Olive opened the door and stepped inside the office, it was beautifully furnished with a few pieces of art work and large but not as large and lavishly furnished as the chairman’s office.
She looked at the glass block at the desk in front of her and saw Leon B. Hendrix, managing director beautifully inscribed on it.
He must be related to the Hendrix, she thought.

He looked up and signaled her to drop the documents on the desk, she did and turned to leave when called her.

“What’s your name”, he asked, his face still buried on the computer screen.

“Olive, sir” she responded, Olive Lane, she added.

“You are the new assistant to the chairman “, he said looking up.

“Yes sir”, she answered.

“Am Leon, the chairman is my uncle and nice to meet”, he said staring at her smiling.

“Am honored sir “, Olive responded with a smile.

She turned and left, “if the chairman’s nephew is as handsome and good looking as this only God knows how his son would look like”,she asked no one in particular.

FEW MOMENTS LATER:

Olive was already rounding up for the day when the telephone rang,she picked it up:

“Hello”, she said into the receiver.

“Bring the file to my office first thing tomorrow morning”, the voice said.

The call went off before Olive could ask who was calling and what file. She signed and dropped the receiver and continued packing up. she left immediately and headed to the bus station.

“Good evening mom”, Olive greeted the moment she walked into their shop.

“Good evening,are you okay? Inquired her mom.
“Was it stressful?, she asked again before she can answer.

“I will cope”, she answered and sat down.
“Nothing can be as stressful as this shop”, Daniel chirped in.
“It’s not your fault”, she said.

“Am off to deliver this order”, he said and ran off.

Daniel and Olive has always been a cat and rat, they always tried to get on each other’s toes but they shared unbreakable
Bond.
