Crazy Town

Mother and sister

Eleanor's POV

I turn the gold handle and step inside, closing the door again behind me 'Good morning sir' I look up, the office is slightly larger than my own but the furniture was the opposite colour, the large bookshelf taking up an entire wall behind his desk was black, the desk in front of it facing the door where I was standing was identical to my own but was also black, to match the book case. The far left wall was all glass and had the most magnificent view of the town of East-Hollow and at the agricultural land on the outskirts of the town, it was a beautiful view. On the right side was the glass that separated my office from his, the blinds were of course closed. 

'Sit down' he says, that's when I noticed that he still hadn't looked up from the paper that he was reading on his desk. I walk towards the two black leather chairs that are facing each other in front of his desk and sit down on one them, being careful not to hit my knee on the small glass table in the middle of the two chairs. 

There's a few seconds of silence before speaks again, this time he looks up from his paper and makes eye contact with me. His eyes are a piercing ocean blue, his brown hair is styled and neatly shaven at the sides, his nose is a little crooked but it suits him, he's handsome. 'Are you ready to become my personal assistant? Are you aware of everything that you have to do?' he asks, maintaining eye contact with me. 

After a couple of seconds I nod, the way he had asked the questions made it seem that there was a lot of things I had to do as his personal assistant that I didn't know about. 'Yes, I'm ready' I say, licking over my lips. He doesn't reply, just stares intently at me. 

'Good' he eventually says, leaning his palms on his desk, he stands up and walks slowly towards the glass that over looks East-Hollow, he stands a meter from it, folding his hands behind his back as he stares out at the view, his back to me. I turn slightly in my chair to watch him, his head moves slightly from left to right before he turns around to face me, there's a slight look of distaste on his face 'What a horrible view' he says, mostly to himself. 

My eyebrows pull together slightly, horrible? I wouldn't call it that and I know that there are a lot of people who would surely appreciate the view, it's beautiful, why did he not like it? He walks over to stand just to the side of me, I look up at him form the chair 'I have a meeting in one hour, you will accompany me and take notes, then write up a transcript and bring to me, we will then go for lunch and after that I have a client who is coming, you must be present for the meeting to takes notes too, then you will prepare my schedule for tomorrow and book a table for four at a nearby restaurant that serves seafood, did you get everything?' he lists, his left eyebrow slightly raising. 

I mentally replay everything he just said before nodding 'Yes sir' 

'Good, leave' he states, heading back to sit in his office chair. I stand up and make my way out of his office and into my own, I pull out a sheet of paper from one of the drawers and grab a pen from the pot, I scribble down everything he listed so not to forget everything. I decide to book the restaurant reservation now, so that I am sure to find a table.

It's currently lunch time and Mr Andrews and I are lining up in a short queue at a small sushi place, I'm beginning to think that he really likes seafood. We reach the checkout and a lady rings through our order, Mr Andrews pays by card before picking up the tray containing his meal, I pick up my own tray and follow behind him as he takes a seat at a table for two in front of the window. He sits with his back to the window and sit down opposite him, facing the window.

He places the card down on my tray of food, I look at him questionably and he explains 'this is the card that is linked to a bank account that one of my accompanies has, it's specifically for paying for anything that I want you to buy, as my personal assistant you are in charge of this card, do you understand?'
