His Fake Personal Assistant

Chapter 10

A picture of Melissa's new car.

One year later

It's been exactly one year since the incident in the alley and just as I feared, my boss went back to being rude and arrogant. He keeps on acting like nothing has happened which really isn't a surprise. I kinda expected that.

Right now I'm on my way to work. Due to the amount of money I'm being paid, I have my own car now but that's not the point. The point here is I'm really late and I know my boss might even sack me.

I rushed into the building and said a quick hello to Pene. I saw her out of the corner of my eye giving me a knowing look before shaking her head. I heard a ding from my phone and it was a message from Pene.

“ You're late again. Just hope he doesn't toast you once you get there ”.

“ I pray so.” I quickly texted her back.

I started feeling nervous the moment I reached the 17th floor. Duncun's office door was closed. I quickly rushed to my office only to be met by my boss sitting behind my desk with a very stern face on.

“ Wow look who finally decided to come to work.” he said with a sinister smile on his face.

“ I...I....I...I.” I stuttered out. I didn't know what to say. It was like all the words flew out of my head. I was really scared, what if I loose my job. What if he ruins my chance of working again.

“ That wouldn't be a problem since you'll be running your dad's business anyway. ” my inner me reminded me. It actually made me smile.

“ Instead of you to be giving me reasons not to sack you, you are standing right in front of me and smiling like you just won a lottery”.

“ So...rry. I just remembered something. ” I stuttered out again.

“ You had to remember this now when I'm almost about to fire you.”

“ You are about to fire me.” I asked with wide eyes. I couldn't believe what i just heard. It will be fair if he fires me but it's been a year since we started working together. I've grown to love this place. Firing me will be the end of me. Not literarily but yeah you get what I mean.

“ I didn't say I'm going to fire you. I just said I was almost about to fire you. ” he said, trying to prevent me bursting into tears. It worked though.

“ Thank you Thank you.” I said happily. Phew! That was close.

“ Don't thank me yet. You'll have to do some kind of a punishment. I just can't let it slip but the next time you come in late I'll fire you and I mean it this time.” he stated in his business-like tone.

“ Yes sir.” I told him sounding very grateful. “ But please what is my punishment? ” I asked like a respectful P.A.  

“ Wow. Now she is saying please. I should scare you more often.” he chuckled at the end of his sentence “ But I'll tell you your punishment after lunch. Now I want you to print the files I sent you last night and submit it to Mr. Oscar at 11:00 am today. Now get to work.”

I was done with my work before it was lunch time. I went to the cafeteria to meet Pene and have lunch.

“ Hey  Pene.” I greeted her the moment I spotted her at our usual table.

“ Hi Mel.” She greeted back. “ You were in such a hurry I couldn't ask how you were.”  she said in an amusing tone.

“ Oh hush! I'm fine, I was scared when he told me he was almost about to fire me. I nearly even cried!” I exclaimed and she just burst out laughing.

“ Next time don't be late.” she said in between laughs.
“ I'll remember that.” I rolled my eyes at her which earned me another laughter from her.

Lunch ended and I found myself in Duncun's office waiting for him to tell me what my punishment is.

“ Um.. what I'm I suppose to do as my punishment.” I asked for the hundredth time today. He looked up from whatever he was doing and raised his brow in askance.

“ You told me I'm suppose to be punished after being late today.” I reminded him since he clearly forgot.

“ I'll be travelling to London tomorrow morning. I wasn't planning on taking you along but I just changed my mind this morning. You just have from now till 5 in the morning to get ready. I hope your passport is updated. My driver will pick you up at 5. You can go and finish your work.” he said the last part in a dismissive tone.

I can't believe I'm travelling to London but I'm his P.A and I'm suppose to know about this. Maybe it's about his private life. Why I'm I feeling angry just thinking about him with another woman. Anyway I have a trip to go to so I need to finish fast and pack.
