His Fake Personal Assistant

Chapter Five

I woke up to the shrilling sound of my alarm. God I hate these things. My eyes bulged out of their sockets when I saw the time. I will be so fucking late if I don't wake up now

I rushed into the bathroom and dressed up for work. I entered the kitchen and greeted aunt Kaylee. I denied breakfast because I will be late if I eat and grabbed a packet of chips from the fridge and headed out.

I rushed to the station and I was very lucky this time. The buses were still loading. I quickly brought myself a ticket and sat at the window. I munched quietly on my chips as the bus made it's way towards the city. I arrived at the McCarthy Company LTD and rushed inside.

I rushed straight to the elevator without even acknowledging Penelope, the receptionist. I got to the seventeenth floor and went straight to his office. I was literally running. I knocked on his door and his usual throaty voice greeted me with a “come in”. I entered right after the order.

“ You are 58 minutes late” he said in a clipped tone. He has the audacity to tell me I am late. I felt the anger coming back in full force.

“ How can you tell me I'm late when you dumped me at nowhere expecting me to walk home and now you are telling me that I'm late !” I explained. How dare he. I ignored the fact that he is my boss and told him my piece of mind.

He chose to ignore me which really got to me. He just got up from his chair and strode to the file cabinet. I was furious and I really wanted a reaction from him so I walked behind him and said the same thing he said to me yesterday “ When I talk to you, I want an answer” I really forgot about him being my boss and the consequences I might face.

He turned around and caught me by my waist and pushed me to the wall. I was suddenly breathless. This guy is doing things to me. I totally forgot about my anger and concentrated only on him.

He brought his face closer, his breath fanning my face. For a moment I thought he was about to kiss me but I was very mistaken.

“ You need not to be reminded of the incidence yesterday do you ?” he breathe into my face. I was speechless. I tried forming words but they just wouldn't come out of my mouth. I just shook my head instead.

“ Good ” he said and left me to go back to the file cabinet. I stood by the wall trying to steady my breath.

I sat down on the sofa near his desk. There are some magazines on his desk and one of them caught my attention.

The cover photo of the magazine was of my boss with the caption “ Hottest Business man of the Year ”. I just couldn't believe my eyes. What makes him hot

“ Oh just admit it. He is h-o-t ” the voice that I have come to hate so much spoke inside my head. “ Oh just shut up ” I mentally slapped it.

I heard him chuckle behind me and I placed the magazine down and asked him what my job is for today.

“ You will go to the Human Resource Department and collect some files from the manager over there. After that you will go to the laundry for my suit. We'll be going for a business meeting this evening and don't worry about an outfit. I have already sent them to your place.” He laid them out for me and I just nodded and requested for my office.

“ Your office is the one adjacent mine. This door separates us but we share the same bathroom as I told you yesterday ”. He said and waved me off.

I used the door that separates his office from mine to get into my new office. Everything in there was new and there was even an iPhone 8 plus on the desk. I saw a note attached to it and picked it up. The note says the phone contains all the details of his business associates and his personal phone number in case of emergencies.

I put down my purse and entered his office again.

“ Where can I locate the Human Resource Department ?” I asked politely asked.

“ On the 9th floor” he said without looking up from whatever he is doing.

I rode the elevator to the 9th floor. It wasn't difficult to locate the managers office because it was boldly written on the door. I knocked and entered when I voice ordered me to come in.

“ Good morning. Mr McCarthy says I should come for a file from you”. I said.

“ Alright but are you new here ? Anyway I'm Gerald.” He replied with a really cute smile.

“ Yh I'm Melissa and I'm new here.” I replied back with a smile as well. I think we will be good friends.

We went on talking for a while and I forgot I had to get some files from my annoying boss until his phone rang.

“ Yh she's here. Alright she is coming” he spoke into the phone.

“ I think you need to leave now. Your boss is very angry at the moment.” he said with a slight chuckle.

“ Oh crap ” I muttered and took the files out of the office and rushed to the elevator and rode to the floor where my current asshole boss is located.

I knocked and entered the office without waiting for an answer.

“ Here are the papers sir .” I said slightly panting.  “ I sent you to go get me files but instead you went flirting huh ” he questioned. It sounded more like a statement than a question.

How dare him tell me that I was flirting. Now making new friends is called flirting.

“ I wasn't flirting sir. I was just making friends with him ” I replied being polite.

“ Is that the reason why you were sent there ?” he said sounding furious. “ No sir ” I replied.

“ Now for disobeying you I'll have to punish you. The file cabinet is very disorganized. I want you to arrange them in order. They are marked from A-C. Arrange them in ascending order as well. Do I make myself clear ? ”

“Yes sir” I stuttered out.“ Now get to work” he demanded and I walked up to the cabinet.

I was able to get files from the last two cabinets but couldn't quite reach the top cabinet. I tried and tried but I just couldn't reach. Who would put up a file cabinet so high. Or it's not high but me being short.

I was snapped out of the argument I was having with myself when I felt a body behind me. It was very close. My back was almost touching his front. I froze. My breath even got hitched in my throat.

He pulled the files out of the cabinet with ease and dropped them on the floor. He left and went back to his seat and I still stood frozen.

I got on my knees and started arranging the files. Separating them wasn't difficult but arranging them in sequencial order was the problem. It took me about two hours to complete the task. I was very tired. I placed them back on the shelves and went back into my office.

I sat on my chair and I placed my head on my desk. I decided to take a short nap but I disconnected the buzzer people napping.

I woke up when I heard my door getting banged by someone. I woke up and saw my boss very furious. He held the buzzer and said “ This is supposed to be in there ” he pointed to the socket and stormed out of my office.

Every trace of sleep disappeared as I watched him leave my office.
