Entangled

Chapter-13. Part-I

Ariana

As he asked me to leave, I immediately left the office and released a breath that I didn't know I had been holding. They must be thinking that I am a fool. But what else could have I done? I had never been interested in any business news.

When my husband offered me a job I only knew that he owned a business. He asked me if I came from another planet and then he explained to me about his company and just now when he introduced me to those good looking men, who helped me a while ago as the co-owners and his best friends, I felt like a fool. I must at least know whom I am working for.

As I entered my office, I immediately searched about the company, and what I saw shocked me. I was married to a man who ruled the business world. The company was the highest-grossing company in the USA. Oh my goodness...I was practically married to a celebrity! And I was working in the USA's topmost company. This was beyond my expectations. Daniel and Sean were also celebrities. Well, three of them do look like models. Never in my wildest dream, I had ever imagined being working as the P.A of this huge company.

I read everything about them and the company because if I had to work without committing mistakes, I must know about the company, their regular clients, business partners, the list of products manufactured, etc.

I started reading the files that my boss gave me. I mailed the content he asked me to and sent forty e-mails in total; some to his business partners and some to the different department heads of the company. That was easy as my typing speed was good. Well, my college degree came in handy. Well, not exactly, but typing was the part of my course I chose to study.

I was proofreading a document when the intercom buzzed. I picked it up and again before I could say hello, his voice came. "Come to my office." I looked at the clock which indicated eleven. I stood up and went to the office.

He looked up from his work and asked
"How much work is done?"

"A part of the work is done. I mean, I have sent all the emails you asked me to send and I was just going through the contract files." I said confidently.

Anyone could tell his eyes were showing surprise at the moment although he was trying to hide the expressions. He must have thought I would not be able to do the work. But he didn't know I liked to take the challenge. Yeah, take that.

"Okay, now bring me black coffee with one part whiskey, no sugar." He said, masking his stunned expressions.
Coffee with one part whiskey??

I stood there for a few seconds thinking I might have heard him wrong and he would correct himself but no, he didn't correct himself instead he just snapped at me.

"What are you waiting for? GO. I don't have all day."

I immediately rushed out of his office. I thought he had lost his mind because for one, who drinks coffee when it's almost lunchtime? and two, doesn't he know that mixing alcohol with coffee is bad for health? Though caffeine is a stimulant that can mask some of the depressant effects of alcohol, still alcohol is going in your body. He was asking for black coffee means he was trying to be a health freak and then he wants whiskey in it making it alcoholic.

I went to the kitchen; his personal kitchen on the floor. I made his black coffee and extended my hand to take one of the whiskey bottles which are placed on the upper shelf of the cabinet.

And you know what I did? I just added two spoons of whiskey in coffee. Why? Because my mind and hands didn't allow me to add the amount of whiskey he asked for. I knew he would be angry at me but I didn't like the fact that he asked for something alcoholic. It means he always drinks coffee this way but he should not do that. Let's take the chance.
