"Get your ass in my office. Now." He harshly spoke through the speaker before I could even answer. I rolled my eyes in annoyance,unable to tolerate with him.
"Yes, sir." I sneered in reply and the line went dead.
I got off my office chair and walked to the direction of my boss' office just a few feets away from mine. As I walked,my three inched heels clicked on the shiny tiles on the way to his office. Can he not request the female workers who work for him wear heels? It may look hot at first but after a while, you will feel like your legs are dipped in hell. Some of the workers I passed stared at me in pity I guess, cause he's very demanding when it comes to work.
What does he want this time? I thought bitterly.
I had already reached to the devil's door, picked up my guts and knocked on his door rougher than usual and got a 'Come in' reply. The door slid open, revealing his dull but nicely decorated office which was comfortable and modern. I entered without hesitation. I stood in front of his desk crossed arms as he was typing furiously on his keyboard. His forehead was creased with wrinkles in concentration and his lips were sealed.
Damn, that's sexy.
I immediately shook it off and scolded myself silently for thinking such a thing.
The fucker continued to type and act no knowledge that I am still standing infront of him. I raised an eyebrow to question him, but he was too concentrated with what was on the computer screen then cleared my throat, waiting for him to order me what to do.
He finally stopped the beautiful, long gifted by God fingers. His lips returned unsealed, showing off his slightly pink, sexy lips.
He looked up and his hazel eyes met mine. I tried reading his eyes, but it was impossible to figure out what was in his thoughts as he was a mysterious, handsome man that nobody could resist. Then,he stood up and passed me the file containing the documents I had just typed for him. Or more like threw it infront of me.
Do you mind?
"There are typing errors in the important documents. Have you rechecked it before handing it to me?" He highlighted the word important in a scary tone.
I kept my voice as calm as I could but my mouth says no,"I apologize, sir. Someone asked me to type it faster because he needed it at that moment and before I could check, he snatched it from me without a single thank you."I sarcastically explained without caring his scary tone.
His lips turned into a sour scowl,"Drop that attitude and don't you dare use that tone on me, Emma. I gave you a simple task,"he looked at me in disappointment, "and you couldn't even get the job done."
It's so not my fault because I was typing as fast as I could so I could recheck it but it turned out that he really needed it so he snatched the file away.
"Whatever." I rolled my eyes, decided not to push him any further. Arguing with him was impossible to end it. But boy he was still furious.
He glared at me, disliking my bitter and sassy reply so I kept my mouth shut for him to continue. "If you want to keep your job, may I suggest you to listen and also obey me, Emma. You may think you got this job easily but I am the one that has the power to hire or fire people in my company."
Eventhough he is the owner of his own company, he does not have the right to blame me while it was his mistake. Who the heck does he think he is? My father?
"And why should I do that?" I challenged, confidence building up.
"Because I'm your boss. So you'll listen and do what I say. Or, you can pack up and say goodbye to your greatest job in the world." He remained his hard glare with his arms crossed to his chest.
Okay fine, he's the boss of me...but still, I have my rights.
"I really don't care cause I was practically forced to work here with you." I huffed in annoyance.
"You think I like working with someone who refuse to cooperate with me? Well,you thought wrong." He gritted through his teeth.
Scumbag.
"How could I cooperate with you when you're rudely ordering me around?" I sassed back.
"Then in what way do you want me to speak with you?" He bit angrily, now losing his patience.
"Maybe a bit more polite and something called manners in your words."I gave a triumph smirk, knowing that I won a point.
His expression is now turning from angry to amusement."Oh, really? The last time I checked, I'm the CEO of Rodriguez's Enterprise Holdings so I can do or say anything I want. You, on the other hand is just my personal assistant who has to follow my orders and get the work I give done." His lips slowly turned into a smirk, mocking me.
My smirk faded and I narrowed my eyebrows as I knew my victory was taken away. But I can assure him it will be mine again.
We'll see, Mr.Rodriguez.
