My dear boss Zayn

Impress me

As Mr. Malik leads me to his office, many things cross my mind at the same time.

"Zayn" like the same "Zayn" I've heard about earlier in the toilets ? Maybe someone else is called Zayn ?

Come on have you ever heard someone called like this ? Personally I don't.

Moreover, what kind of man does that ? what kind of BOSS does that ? Fucking God knows who in his own building ?

Am I too naive ? Am I the one being weird right now ?

Who is he ? What am I doing ? Should I quit the job right now knowing what I know ? What am I suppose to do ?

God, he impresses me so much, I'm paralyzed.

Suddenly, Mr. Malik stands before his door's office and opens it. He steps back and turns around, "Ladies first."

His voice is deep, seductive, you can clearly hear his British accent each word he pronounces, which disrupt me, I don't know why.

I step forward as he's opening the door for me and enters his office. I walk in and stand there, looking at the impressive room. His wooden desk is huge and looks expensive, madly expensive. Each object is well organized, everything is tidy.

I take a look at the details within a few seconds and just by looking at his stuff, I can tell this man likes to control everything. He likes power but only if it is between his own hands. He can't live in a chaotic world, otherwise he would lose his mind.

No doubt he's the boss. He's not one to be supervised.

I have the feeling this man likes order and calm. The colors here are soft and relaxing, grey and white mainly. Actually there are not much things in here. Just what he needs to work, he's not some sort of extra boss you can see in movies.

He has a small bottle with many pens in it, an open calendar on his desk and a phone. But there's no picture to find. Everything is neutral, devoid by any personal object.

Maybe I was expecting a sort of cliché - all the files on the floor, messy room, an exceeded boss.

But he seems quite calm and attentive, and clearly organized.

I feel like he knows exactly who he is, what he wants and what he has to do in order to succeed, whereas I barely know myself.

Actually, I'm pretty gifted when it comes to analyze people and see how they behave, like I can see who they really are. My mom thinks I've got some sort of spiritual power but I don't really know. Because when it comes to me I feel like I'm not sure of who I am. But right now, my attention is focused on Mr. Malik. And I can't wait to see if my first impression was right, or not.

"Miss Mathewsen ?" Suddenly, Mr Malik pulls me out of my daydream, his voice calling out to me, "Are you going to stand here forever ?" He says to me with a slight smirk on his face.

I wasn't even aware that I was still standing there.

"Oh, excuse me, I was just..." I pause, breathing again, "Your office is quite impressive, Sir."
