Chapter 8

Maya’s POV:

The shit has hit the fan. Isn’t that the expression they usually use in situations like this one? OHHH GODDDDD What am I going to do? My boss is the guy I slept with… No matter how many times I repeat that to myself I still cannot grab hold of the enormity of the awful situation I am in. A few months ago I left my old job devastated because my stupid ex boyfriend ruined everything there for me. And then I was so lucky that a super job opportunity landed on my lap. And what did I do? I worked my butt off for two months and then I went and got myself in worse situation than before. Because the last time I had personal problems with a colleague of mine, now I had to go and choose the boss himself. NICE! I am going to get one hell of a reference note off him when he fires me. And he will fire me I could see it in his eyes and of course in the way he treated me today. Confronting me from the minute I entered his office.

Well there goes the work of two months… Down the drain… I am sure that when I will return to his office he will tell me that because of my totally unprofessional ways I should go and get my things from my desk. And maybe he would give me back my purse. Ooooh my purse. I had totally forgotten to ask July if it was at her place after all. It would be much more embarrassing to ask it from him now. How on earth do I get myself in situations like that?

For a moment i wished I had actually called in sick today. Not that that would have solved anything. I would have faced the same situation tomorrow, and by then his mood could have been even worse. Maybe I should leave now and send him an email with my resignation. But I am not a quitter. Leaving my previous job was a big blow to my pride but I had to do it. Now there was no chance for a repeat session. I would keep my head high and fight whatever my boss threw my way.

My thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing of the phone. I picked it up immediately. “Mrs. James will you be coming back to my office today?” I instantly noticed the sarcasm in his voice.

“Of course sir I will be there in a few seconds”

Well no way to avoid this… Let’s face the music. I grabbed the files that I had places on my desk on arriving at my office and headed to his.

 A few seconds later I was knocking at his door.

"Enter" he said and I slowly opened the door and got into his office holding my head high.

"You misplaced your keys Mrs.  James?"

"What? No"

"Because you left this office fifteen minutes ago"

"No sir I am sorry for the delay! I have brought the files to the deal I closed on Friday to discuss it with you"

"Yes, come sit. And before we begin I would like to point out that delays like the one today will not be tolerated again!"

"Yes of course! I already told you I got a flat tire, it was an onetime thing it will never happen again!"

"You seem very sure of your car"

"I am not sir but if such a thing happens again I will leave it be and grab a cub to work."

"Ok then now that there is no other such thing to discuss, let's start revising Friday’s deal."

"Well as you see here in the figures I have in this table....."

They kept on discussing the Friday’s deal for over six hours without a break. Maya wanted to go take a cup of coffee but she did not dare interrupt their meeting. She wanted to impress him with her working abilities and of course not get fired that day… But it was noon already and she did not even have coffee yet, let alone lunch. At one o clock July knocked on the door.

“Hello sorry to interrupt, I wanted to leave Maya’s keys. Your car is as good as new sweety. Dean also did a check up on it and said it was in excellent condition.”

“Thanks you July and please leave email me Dean’s phone number I want to thank him personally for fixing my tire”

“Sure thing sweety. Well I am going out for my lunch break. Will you take one or do you want me to order you something here?”

“Can you please order something for us? We still have some things here to process.  I’ll have a chicken sandwich. What would you like Mrs. James?”

“I will have my usual July, thanks”

“Ok, I’ll order them, my guess is they will be here in 15 minutes give or take”

“Thanks you July. Your usual?”

“Yes, this past two months I had a lot of work to deal with and usually ate at my office to save time.”

“Thanks you.”

“It’s in the job description, shall we continue?”

“Of course”

They kept working non-stop even while they ate their lunch. Around six they had analyzed everything there was in the Friday’s deal and Nicolas called it a day. Maya gathered all her files from Nicolas’s desk and was almost at the door when Nicolas said:

“Oh and Mrs. James I think in your haste yesterday you forgot this” and threw her her purse.

Maya’s cheeks turned scarlet red in milliseconds. She grabbed her purse and turned to get of his office. Before exiting she said:

“It is miss James. Since we are not on first name bases. Good afternoon Mr. Larkson.” With that she exited quickly his office without giving him the opportunity to respond.
