Iris' POV
"Where's your destination ma'am?"
"At Hawthorne's building, please."
"Are you uhhmm...sure?"
"Yes? Why are you asking me that?"
"Nothing."
"Ohh we're here."
I opened the door and get off the car. I headed to the entrance. This was a thirty five storey building.
"Uhmm excuse me?" I'm trying to get the guard's attention. " Is uhmm... Mr. Hawthorne here?"
"You mean sir Zeus Hawthorne?"
"There's only one Hawthorne here right?"
"Nope. Mr. Marcus which was the owner of this building was sir Zeus Hawthorne's father."
"Ohh.. The young one."
"Yeah, he's in his office."
"May I know where?" I said calmly.
"At the top most."
" Uhmm thanks."
"By the way miss, you can't use that elevator, that's a private elevator built for Hawthorne family only. Just go there, there's an elevator there."
There? I'll supposedly ask him where was that elevator located but I'm shy. Maybe they'd say I'm an ignorant person. I'm stupid and dumb. I tried to find the elevator but there was no elevator here. Maybe this building had the elevator but I couldn't find it due to this very big place. So I took the stairs instead. For heaven's sake! Taking stairs to the top most of this thirty five storey building could kill me.

After twenty minutes, I finally arrived at Mr. Zeus office. For Christ sake! Why they decided to built Mr. Zeus' office at the top most? Oh my gosh.
I knocked the door five times. I'm so stressed.
Finally he opened the door.

Zeus' POV
"Really?"
"Yes Zeus, from now on you I'll work with you. As your coffee server."
"Thank you Iris."
"Of course, for you my dear Zeus."
"Thank you my Iris."
Dammit! I was awaked when I heard series of knocks. Uhh!! It hurt my ears. I really hate knocks.
And it's just a dream, a dream that's impossible to happen.
I walked faster and reached the door. My eyes widened. What she's doing here? Maybe my dream will happen in real life. My heart beat faster and faster.
"Uhmmm are you Iris?" Of course Zeus, she's Iris! Act normal Zeus. My mind whispered.
"Yes? Why not?" I saw the confusion in her face.
"Oh yeah.. Uhmm It's just a test." I faked a laugh.
She's just looking at me without any expressions in her face.
"What happened to you?" she's so messy. Her hair was so messy. She's holding her two inches heels. She's catching her breath. Dammit! Maybe she took the stairs.
"I took the stairs, I didn't know where was the elevator."
"You can use my elevator."
"Okay, thanks."
"Come, sit."
She followed me. I sat on my chair and she's in front of me.
"Uhmm so..What's up?"
"I've already decided..."
I already understood what she meant.
"I'll accept your offer."
"Ohh good. I told you, soon you'll change your mind and follow the right path. " I was freaking happy. My dream came true.
"You'll work with me starting tomorrow at 5 am. And I'll give you the house/office rules. Okay?"
"Sure." she smiled. Damn! It was my first time seeing her smiling, she's so damn beautiful.
"You may go." I dismissed her.
___
"Sir. Someone was looking for you." one of my housekeeper said.
"Let her in." I knew it was Iris.
I was cooking my favorite blue berry pancake. It's 5 am sharp. She didn't broke the deal.
"Good morning sir."
"Just Zeus."
"No.. You're my boss. I should respect you."
"HA HA, just Zeus. I don't want you to call me sir. It bothers me."
"Okay."
"Okay, I'll inform you the rules now."
She's so quiet.
"First, you should be here at 5 am sharp. I don't tolerate late person."
"Why so early?" her brow met.
"Second, no complaining."
"Third, make my coffee only when I need it."
"Fourth, my things are soooo expensive, be sure not to break or messed up with my things. Handle it with care. "
"Fifth, you'll receive the bills every friday." I saw her amazed.
"Maybe that's enough for now."
"Okay sir."
"Okay Iris. So start your work. "

Iris' POV
"Good morning sir."
"Just Zeus." no way!
"No.. You're my boss. I should respect you."
"HA HA, just Zeus. I don't want you to call me sir. It bothers me."
"Okay."
"Okay, I'll inform you the rules now."
"First, you should be here at 5 am sharp. I don't tolerate late person." what the!
"Why so early?" I was upset.
"Second, no criticisms allowed." ok fine!
"Third, make my coffee only when I need it."
"Fourth, my things are soooo expensive, be sure not to break or messed up with my things. Handle it with care. " I don't freaking care.
"Fifth, you'll receive the bills every friday." oh! The good news.
"Maybe that's enough for now."
"Okay sir."
"Okay Iris. So start your work. "
I went to tge kitchen and made his coffee.
Finally, I made it. I was relieved. This was my first day. Hope he'd like it.
Zeus' POV
Iris made my coffee. I was on the kitchen counter and drunk the coffee. What the heck!
"Eww.. This taste so bad Iris, what happened to this? Ate you stupid? This was so lame." I was about to retch. This was the most disgusting coffee I've been tasted in my whole life.
"I'm so-sorry sir." she cried.
Shit! She's crying.
"Iris, come on. You're professional on making coffees."
"I'm sorry sir. I got nervous."
"Uhhh. Nevermind. I'll just take a shower."
