The birthday party of my nephew dylan was fun. Nina managed everything. At first I had totally forgotten about the red wine but as soon as I entered the party, Nina came running to me asking me for the wine and then i remembered that I had forgotten to buy the new one, luckily her boss had got red wine as a gift so the situation was salvaged but she still thought of me as irresponsible. I didnt want to go in great details about some stupid bastard who ruined my day and ruin nina and dylans birthday as things were already bad for them.
Nina was a single mother . She married John within the first month she met him and as soon as she realized she was carrying dylan. Mom dad were conservative so she didnt tell them about their short meeting period. John was their for one year and the day dylan was born ,he left them after casting one glance at his son.Dylan has a heart condition as Nina would drink a lot when she was pregnant as john had started his philandering ways not even one month into her pregnancy. She was still in the hope that he would improve ,take responsibilities as soon as he saw dylan but nothing like that happened.
The day he left ,he left for good as everyone knew what a bastard scum sucking moron he was and good for nothing just using my sister for her salary which she got from her first job which she left after marrying him to move with him to pennyslyvania . Now shes a 2nd grade teacher at a elementary school but still not enough to fulfill both their wants.
I always tried helping them in whatever way i could but Nina was adamant in refusing my money as she knew whatever i earned ,I was saving for my dreams to open my own publishing house one day.
After the weekend ,on monday i went to my office. One of the topmost multinational companies 'The Carter sons and co. '. I still didnt know about any sons of William Carter, the last CEO who had given his post to the new CEO which obviously was his son. I had never seen him but heard a lot of that he was a millionaire playboy who partied with models ,celebrities etc and went with a different arm candy to every event. He never repeated his gals. He was very strict bussiness mogul , he would never keeps someone who made one mistake or who displeased him as that was his policy that he didnt waste time on peoples mistakes as he does not believe in repeating mistakes or people who do them ,especially after the idiot head of my branch was involved in some scam where he had stolen 5 million dollars but was caught before he could run.Recently he, the CEO had come in the wrong side of the media. His wild partying ways, his ruthless attitude and his disappearance for 6 months where even we didnt know where he was. He had completely stopped socializing and travelling to New York office. He was the new gossip scape goat.
I entered the building and made my way to the elevator. I pressed 18 floor. I exited out. Why was everyone running and screaming. Was there a fire?. Really some people just dont know how to handle monday mornings. Even though I liked my job but I didnt like it enough to get up everyday and go to work.
I asked Nicole, my colleague and closest in the office ,"Hey whats wrong why you guys running like you saw Hitler?"
"worse we will see the CEO of the company. Hes coming to the office in "she looked at her watch,"10 minutes and you know he's new policy.shiitttt i dont wanna lose my job ,Al"
"relax you wont, but why now? isnt he supposed to be hiding and send someone else."
"yeah but recently his grandfather died and now his will states that all the powers be transferred to him immediately"
"but didnt his dad want him to get used to it for couple if years or so before transferring it completely"
"yeah but that dudes the grandpa and no one angers the carter grandpa even dead. jeez i sound drunk. I will go freshen up"
That meant she would go put make-up and probably come after 30 minutes. As much as i liked her here more then the others , she really was a washroom person.
I started going to my cubicle. I was responsible for marketing. when i saw my cubicle , i screamed"what the .....". My cubicle desk was filled with atleast 10 thick files on my desk scattered like a ragpickers bag. I never dirited my desk but today was something different as usual.
I got busy in cleaning my desk when i heard voices of girls ,specifically justine and kiara who were tagged as the bitches of the office. They spent more time bitching and in the washroom then on their desks. No wonder it was so clean. They were already demoted twice , now if they are demoted they would probably end up for the receptionists job which I'm sure no one would give them given their squeaky scratching nails like voice.
"OMG.....isn't he gonna come im 5 minutes. I cant wait anymore" said Justine in her irritating voice.
As if he was coming on a date and not for his job.
"yeah. it will be 6 months since we have seen him. He might have become more hot."said kiara.
"yeah i heard he's single after he dumped Mitchell that victorias secret model after that new years eve party."
"yeah i especially dressed for him, i even put the victorias secret mist and lingerie . He might be liking that since he dated that slut Mitchell"
oh so Mitchell was a slut now. A week before they were going to buy the exact dress which she wore for new years and even missed a day of office to go to channel.
"Lets go and reapply our makeup. I dont wanna take any chances this time. He's coming after 6 months. God knows how long he will stay."
"yeah , lets go. Oh hi Alaaaaaina, woke up late dont worry he wont even look at your big dark eye circles or your zit s . We will distract him for you . I guess we wont even have to try . He might just be distracted smelling us from the entrance. You can thank us later. Muuaaah"
said the bitch kiara swaying her fat ass to her 2nd home the washroom.I didnt tell them anything cause they really had a low IQ to meddle with and their perfume was so intoxicating to even stand anywhere near them and make a small talk or even smile. God seriously i cant wait to leave this job.
I arranged the files and went to the entrance to take a elevator to send them to the 4 floor to the database department to enter the records. I would have taken the stairs but it was 4 floor and i didnt want to come back sweating and panting to meet the CEO.
I wasn't seeing where i was going . I stood outside the elevator waiting for it. I was busy trying to keep 10 files in my hand without dropping it. I couldnt even see which floor the elevator was at. I was relying on the music of the elevator.
As soon I heard the melody of the elevator I ran towards it without seeing who was entering.
I dashed against someones rock hard shoulders sending the files and the papers flying.
"I am so sorry . Let me help you ma-". He stopped when he saw my face.
I dropped whatver rest of the files I had on the floor. It was HIM. The supermarket guy,the one who dropped my wine and the one on whom I threw the 7UP.
"Lets go Mr Carter." said the new head of my branch, Mr Schimmer.
wait. what did Mr Schimmer call him . Carter, but why? Apparently Carter here was the surname of the owner of the company and the ex CEO and the new one and what was the probability of 2 people having the surname Carter and entering the office the same day.
OH MY GOD!!!!!! HE'S THE CEO. MY BOSS.
GOD SAVE ME!!!!!!
