He's My Boss

III.

I woke with a banging headache. I looked around and realized that I was at home. I rolled over to see Khalifa sleeping, he must've drove me home. I picked up my phone from the night stand and saw 5 missed calls and 4 unread message from Kia.

"Text me when you wake up"

"You betta be up😑"

"You bouta be late"

"BITCH WAKE YO ASS UP!!!!!!!"

I looked at the time and it was already 8:36.

"Shit!" I yelled running to the bathroom.

"I'm tryna sleep! Shut up!" He said half way sleep.

I ignored his comment and continued my daily routine. By the time I got out, it was 9:40 a.m. Dammit I'm gonna be late on my first day. I threw on a maroon burberry button up shirt, a black pencil skirt, and some black heels and put my hair in a messy bun.

I kissed Khalifa on his cheek. "Bye babe, I'll be back!"

I ran out to my car and sped to the building.

***

I ran into the building, went straight to Mr. Calloway's office.

"Good morning Mr. Callo-"

"Your late!" He said not looking up from his newspaper.

"I know I woke up la-"

"No excuses, don't make this a habit. Next time this happens you'll need to find another job. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Great!" He turned around and picked up a stack of papers. "I need you to organize these papers in chronological order and take them down to the conference room. And I need them done in 2 hours for a meeting."

I picked up the stack. "Uhh, okay. Where is the conference room?"

He pressed a button on the phone on his desk. "Mrs. Brown, can you show my new assistant to the conference room?"

"Yes, Mr. Calloway." A female voice spoke through the phone.

"Mrs. Brown will take you there, she should be here in 5 minutes. Follow me." He said leading me outside his to a small desk. "This is where you will work if you need me just press the 2nd button to the left." He walked back into his office.

I sat at my desk and began my work. I cant believe that was the same person that interviewed me. I don't know it was because I was late or what cause he was the total opposite yesterday.

"Hello, you must be Mr. Calloway's assistant Ms..." A darkskin older woman said holding out her hand.

"Azani Coleman." I said standing up and shaking her hand.

"Are you almost done with the papers?"

"Um no, I just got here."

She gasped and looked up at the clock. "You showed up 2 hours late and you still have a job? He must like you, last time one of his assistants came late she was out of here and the same day he filled her spot. He waste no time!"

"Wow, but it's only 11 how am I 2 hours late?" I asked still organising the papers.

"Oh honey, early is on time and on time is considered late. You should be here at 9 to get everything in order." She sat in the chair across from me. "Since it's your first day, I'll help you!"

"Oh my God thank you so much, I didn't know how I was gonna get all of this is done."

"You did a good job considering the fact that it's only your first day." Mr. Calloway congratulated me as we sat in his office.
