"OK miss Michael, so as you are hired to be my personal assistant but after two month you will be taking my position as personal assistant of our boss." Mrs Black informed me.

'She is not the boss?'

"Well...., right now boss is busy with his other commitments and other branches of this company, but he organise everything from here." she took a deep breath.

"So you will work under my sight for two months, then you would get my position with double of your salary you what you be getting now."

'Wow'

"Boss office is on 31st floor, which you wouldn't be visiting now.
You will have to pass down all important calls towards my cabin.   you have to make sure all files and documents would be in order before interview, you would be making all arrangements of our out door meetings, plus if our gust have to stay for a day or two you have do all bookings. And yeah you would be escorting me wherever I'll go." she said looking towards me.
She pick up a file and hand it over to me.
"For now all you have to do is memories these list of people whose calls are you are going to forward to my office and who's calls you are going to ditch."

"Ok Mrs. Black." I nodded and started heading out but heard my name so I turned towards her. "Oh and Eva please call me Amber, it would be more easier, as every one here calls me by my first name."

"OK" I nodded my head and closed the door behind me. I sat in front of my desk. It's small with a computer, notepad pencil, pens, marker, sticky pads calendar and two phones.
It was perfect for me.

I lost the count of calls I received today, it was all very exhausting plus I have to be very polite and patient with clients.

I walk in Mrs Black's office to give her all the files I received from other departments.

As I kept those files on table Mrs Black asked me to get her a coup of coffee.
I asked her directions towards coffee machine and walked towards it, as I was also in need of coffee.

Luckly I found it and there was no one.

"Shit"
Then I remember, I didn't ask her if she preferred her coffee with or without cream.
I decided to make a cup with cream and another without cream.
I took cubes of sugars and wrapped it in a paper bag and kept it in my pockets.

I walked back to her office with two cups in my both hands. As my both hands were occupied I was struggling to open the door.
But I didn't notice a man trying to open the door for me.

I Startled with unknown presence of a person and slightly jumped, but somehow I managed to control my balance.

I mummers a 'thank you' and walked inside.

I placed both the cups on her table.
When she looked up she raised an eyebrow in question.
As I was going to answer. I was  interrupted with a small but exciting voice.

"Grammy" I turned to find a familiar face running towards Mrs Balck with huge smile.

Mrs. Black push out of her chair and bend on her knees to embrace her in her arms.

"What are you doing here my child?" she asked with same facial expression.

"Mommy and daddy decided to surprise you!!!" she answered.

"Ohh so now it's  mommy and daddy's idea?". I was so busy admiring this scene in front of me I didn't realise two figures standing next to me.

Rosie giggle.

"Mom you really have to stop spoiling her, she wouldn't stop whimpering about seeing you, as you promised her ice-cream and god knows what." same man said with his own smile on his face. He went forward and hugged Mrs. Black.

Mrs. Black chuckle and pick up Rosie and sit on sofa.
" Oh hush Alex, you were more trouble kid. I just wanted to spend some time with my granddaughter and daughter. I didn't even invited you." Mrs Black glare at her Son playfully.

I didn't wanted to invade their family time I turn back to walk out of room.
And I found my self stand face to face with Jennifer.

Jennifer took a second then I was engulfed in a hug which left me with wired feeling as I never let any one else other then Emm or twins to come close to me.

"Eva I didn't knew you worked here too? " she questioned with confuse look.

"I just joined today, I am PA of Mrs Black." I said looking at her.

"You both know each other? " Mrs Black asked.

I turned towards her "oh mom, she is the same girl from diner, Rosie wouldn't stop talking about" Jennifer chuckle.

That made me smile.

"Eva that's my son Alex." he was staring at me as I am some kind of project or alien standing before him. Which gave me a weird feeling.
"as she said she is my PA, and later if she handle to survive for a month or two she is going to be PA for boss. " Mrs Black said smirking.

I shaked my head and laughed with them.

Rosie came to me to give a brief hug and run back to Mrs Black." You know she hardly interact with other people, I think she likes you." Alex said nodding towards Rosie.

"I think I like her too." I said giving her my most honest smile at her.

"Oh Eva, you will have 20 minutes break for lunch every day from 1.00 pm to 1:20 pm." Mrs back said gesturing towards clock.

I nodded and I walked out of office as they were planning to  go out for lunch.

It's been two weeks since I joined my office. Everything is running smooth.

Rosie visit Tim's diner every weekend. as Jennifer said she loves the food there.
I and Jennifer are friends now.
She is sweet and loving person.
Alexander also come along with them. It turns out he also works in same company but he is in IT department.

They recently moved here from Australia as he got promoted and Mrs Black in same city.

Mrs. Black is not like usual moody, demanding and frustrating bosses.
She is cool and down to earth. And the most loving person.
I have made two three friends with whom I share my lunch every day including Alexander Black. He is not as bad of person as I assumed in the beginning.

Everything is great at diner, now I  work as a cook all five days of week and waitress on Saturday and Sundays.

Emma's father is now in recovering process. She is going to stay for long, as she doesn't wants to live far away from her father.
We talk every day. I told her about my new job and she is happy for me.

back home twins and my parents are all fine. I thought it would be best for twins to keep them calling my parents, as they are young to understand the situation and I don't want to give any bad impression.

I cried for a week feeling sorry for not remembering my mother who is not alive anymore. But the most painful part was looking at my mother's photo in which we were smiling at each other. I don't remember any of it.

I always thought that what if she would have been alive?, life would have been great. I guess?

But then it was of no use, Because she was not with me. So I decided to not cry anymore. I have her photo and that was more than enough for lifetime happiness.
