He was staring at me with an evil glint in his eyes. Oh my Gosh. He'll kill me or worse he'll fire me. That's it. He'll fire me. Wow, I was not even able to complete my first day and I will be fired.

"Miss Wilson, are you even listening to me?" A sharp voice snapped me from my thoughts and I noticed that Mr. Salvestro was no longer near me. He had already taken his seat.

"I'm sorry what?" I apologized, taking careful steps towards his desk. His eyes grew hard and he sighed heavily.

"Listen here, Miss Wilson. I hate repeating myself. So, if you want to be my assistant, you need to be focused." He dominatingly said. His honey orbs held mine icily in a way that made me fear him. He was a perfectly controlled and dominant kind of person. If I want to be here, I must not annoy him. "Did I make myself clear?" He asked coldly. I bobbed my head making him lean back in his seat.

"B-But, aren't you firing me?" I suddenly asked making him give me a smug look.

"No." He simply answered making me breathe a sigh of relief. "Not yet." This man loves to give me surprises. "Annoy me one more time and you'll be out." Mr. Salvestro warned.

He then picked up his phone and pressed a number and commanded the person to come in. a second later, there was a knock at our door and the person or should I say Mia came in.

"Yes, Mr. Salvestro?" She asked in a gentle and kind voice. I could sense fear in her as well. Thank goodness, I'm not the only one who is scared of him. This was not the Mia that was used to.

"Show Miss Wilson her office." He barked at her. Damn, this man was rude. No please, no thank you, nothing. And I'm going to work for him.

"Sure." Mia replied. I walked to Mia and was about to get out of his office when his voice stopped me.

"I want you back in five minutes, Miss Wilson." Mr. Salvestro commanded.

I closed the door and sighed heavily. I felt a lot of tension in that room. Thank God, I have five minutes to be awy from him.

"Isn't he hot?" Mia gushed happily. Gosh, if only she knew how he is I bet she wouldn't say that. "You're so lucky to be his personal assistant. I would give anything to be in your shoes." She dreamily said. If only she knew! "Come, I'll show you your office." She then led the way.

I noticed that my office was just beside Mr. Arrogant Ass' office. Yay me!

My office was a plain one with a desk in the middle and an office chair. It included a cupboard on the other side as well. Nothing extraordinary. I also took note of the phone on either side of the desk but there was no computer.

"You'll be given your laptop and e-mail by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Mia said, sensing my thoughts.

"Okay." I smiled at her.

She was about to say something but was cut off by the ring sound of the phone. I looked at her and she gestured towards the phone, signaling me to pick it up.

I nervously picked it up and heard the most annoying voice ever.

"I told you to be in my office in five minutes and it's been fifteen." Mr. Arrogant Ass' icy voice snapped at me. I inwardly winced at that.

"Uh, I'm coming, Sir." I quickly hanged up and practically ran out of my office to his. From my nervous expression, Mia judged what happened and didn't ask. She went back to her post.

I knocked the door and after he said come in, I entered. He was looking at me with a fierce expression. Oh, come on, I was only ten minutes late! No need to explode. This was what I wanted to say but I settled for my silence.
