"May I help you miss?" She asked politely.
SIENNA'S POV:
I looked at her gentle eyes which held amusement.
"I would really appreciate your help." I said timidly and a bit embarrassed as today is the first day of my job. That, Jasmine.
She held a bag in her hand and gave it to me.
"Change into this." She said turning to go.
"Wait." I said hurriedly. "Umm.. Sienna. Sienna Davis. Nice to meet you."
She grinned at me her facial features showing her youth.
"Melissa. Melissa James. Happy to meet you." She said giving me a hug which I returned. I was a bit shocked because she was so lively. Nobody would have guessed it looking at her gentle demeanour.
"How did you know that I needed to change?"
"Looking at your clothes I already knew what he's gonna say you."
"Is it that bad?"
"Well you've dressed so sexily that even the bouncers in the club would excuse you without an Id."
"Actually it was a mistake." I said now a bit red.
"Leave it. But you actually came in like a fucking picture babe. Now I'll leave you to change."
I quickly changed into this new dress. I must say it was quite formal yet beautiful.
I knocked on the handsome devil's door again and heard the same faint 'come in'.
"Good Morning again, sir." I said enthusiastically.
"My latte, Ms .Davis ."
"What latte?" I asked.
"I believed I had asked you to bring me that."
Then I remembered that order of Latte. He looked up from his desk for the first time and and sadly towards his watch. His eyes didn't even take in the dress in which I have changed.
"Well?" He asked breaking my chain of thoughts.
Ugh. What to say now? Did my share of embarrassment not finish yet?
"I am so sorry. Well, I can bring you now." I suggested very politely so that he doesn't fire me for it.
"No need to. There's a meeting in 8 minutes. Melissa has already done the preparations there which was by the way your job which she would have shown you." He said throwing me a sharp look. He looked down at his work on the table.
"Umm- I started only to be interrupted. "So, first come to the meeting with me and take down notes about what I'm saying. Is that clear?"
"Yes."
"Go." He dismissed me.
I came out of the room with mixed emotions swirling in my brain. Should I be happy because I wasn't fired? Or should I be sad that he didn't even look at how I was looking? In fact most of the time he looked at those dumb papers.
Hey! What am I doing? He is my boss. What if he is ravenously handsome he's not for you. Do not try to take any sort of liking into him. Is that clear? I shook my head and he was coming out of his office.
"Follow me." He ordered not looking at me. I took out a notebook and hurried after him trying to match his steps. He entered the golden elevator and stopped me from entering.
"This is not for you." He said. "Reach on time." And there closed that elevator.
Damn! That Arrogance! Very common!
There was no point in waiting for the elevator. I would definitely be late. I took the stairs instead. After all it's only one floor. I climbed down and saw him a few steps ahead.
"Sir." I called out.
"Stairs Huh! But next time I won't wait for you."
Does that mean that he was waiting for me?"To take you to the meeting room or you would have reached an hour later." He answered my silent question.
"I wasn't that late." I purred.
"Were."
"Well the next time I'll reach before. You see."
He didn't respond. His face was as usual cold.
We entered the meeting room where all the men stood up and slightly bowed on looking at him. He motioned them to sit down. I sat in the chair nearest to him and continuously took down the notes. Then we started watching a presentation. The lights went dark.
I got that moment to look at his chiselled jaw, gelled hair and his eyes concentrated on the screen. My eyes immediately drifted down his face towards his body covered in expensive fabric. He had a well defined body and I started thinking about his abs and six packs.
Till now I've read in many Wattpad stories that a handsome billionaire ends up with his beautiful secretary. Could it be the same for us? He may be handsome but, are you beautiful? My inner self said. That's right. "Miss Davis. Can you come back from your dream world ?" was a slight whisper which my dumb ears couldn't hear.
"I am not beautiful. I'm ugly." I cried out. And, then I realized what I did. I came to the present and I was still looking at his body. While all other eyes were set on me.
God, I thought today my share of embarrassment had finished.
I flushed red. "I'm sorry. I was thinking about something and got preoccupied." I said.
"Well, you can admit you were thinking about your boss's body as your eyes were set there." said a woman from a woman who was sitting two seats after me. She sniggered at me in a cruel and insulting way. I looked down feeling sad. I didn't like being laughed at.
I have faced many insults because I was an orphan from many cruel people and laughed at by other students. It made me vulnerable and weak.
"Miss Miller, do not expect everyone to be like you. She was looking towards the floor. I will not accept any form of mocking and gossiping here. Is that clear?" His voice now at a very high tone.
"Yes." She replied.
"Then, apologise." This was the first time a guy stood up for me. He was cold but he still bothered to help that too in my first day after so many mistakes I made.
"Sorry, sir."
"Not to me. To Ms. Davis. Now."
She hesitated but then came a small word. "Sorry."
I looked up at her slowly and nodded my head. I looked at Mr. Ellison but, he was glaring at her. Next he dismissed everyone. I collected my notebook and went behind him.
But he went without sparing me a glance. That was mean. But he stood up for me. First time someone stood up for me except Jasmine. He defended me. Though he has a cold nature but he is kind hearted. He did it for me.
No he did not. He did it because she was wrong. Said my inner self.
Even if what she is saying is true. I won't believe it. It feels good thinking that he did it for me.
I spent the rest of the day locked in my cabin settling my cabin and learning his schedule and arranging all the papers. I and Melissa had lunch together in my cabin. She had brought some sandwiches. I left my office grinning. After all the day wasn't that bad.
But, who knew that my second day wouldn't be one of my best days.
