REDAMANCY

CHAPTER 7

CELINE'S POV

I still couldn't believe that I got the job. As soon as I came out of the building I sent a text to my dad.
He was so ecstatic that he promised to be home by evening and he'll cook my favorite.
Even Mrs. Morgan was very happy for me but I could tell that she was sad for me leaving her. I told her that I will keep visiting her and will help her the days I am free. She was so happy from hearing I said that, she hugged me so tightly. Mr Morgan also congratulated me.

The whole evening I was having that smile as I served the customers. As if this all wasn't enough, I had really good customers today who gave me pretty good tips.

Wow! The day couldn't get any better.

I received an email from the company giving me all that details. I went home immediately after completing my shift.

When I reached home I was hit by fresh smell of chocolate, obviously dad would make chocolate milkshake. We talked, ate and we laughed. We also watched movies and as usual it ended by my dad dozing off.
This was the best day of my life.

I went to sleep as I had to get up early tomorrow after I laid out my outfit. I set the alarm and went to sleep with a smile on my face.

..........

I got up before my alarm. Due to the excitement I couldn't even sleep.
I shut my alarm and went to shower.
I put on my dark blue jeans and a simple floral white blouse. I put my hair into a high ponytail. Satisfied with my appearance I went to make breakfast.

I really need to go to shopping.

I ate my breakfast and left dad's in tha microwave and I put a note for my dad.
I checked the time it was quarter past 7, so I took all my belongings put on my old black heels and decided to take a taxi.

Add heels to the shopping list too.

I reached the building 15 minutes early. I got into the elevator and pressed the 10 th floor key.
I was feeling nervous now that I started fiddling with the ring on my finger.

I just hope the first day goes well.

The elevator dinged and I stepped out of it and there she was standing in front of her desk, dressed in a tight black mini skirt and a Navy blue blouse. She has pretty good curves but too bad it had to be her.

" Good morning " I said.

She turned around but when she noticed me her blank look turned into a scowl.

" What's so good about this morning?" she said in a dismissed tone and turned to whatever she was doing.

Okayy...

" So is the CEO here already? " I asked.

" Why ready to pounce on him on the first day?" she replied with a disgusted tone.

What's wrong with you..bitch?

"Whether I pounce on him or work for him is none of your business. If you are not going to help then you can go to hell if I need anything I will ask it to sir, personally" I gave a fake smile while stressing on the last word.

She looked shocked at first then she smirked looking behind me.

Why the hell is she smirking?

" Why are you getting angry at me Ms Carter, I just said that I will show you the office after I put the flowers in the vase. You didn't have to be so rude. " she said sniffing.

Now I am confused.
" What? What are you talking about?" I asked genuinely confused.

Before she could reply another voice came from behind me..
" What's going on here?".

I turned around to the familiar voice.
There he was standing in a Navy blue fitted suit with one hand in his pocket, glaring at us....no me. I shifted my gaze to Gwen who was slightly smirking at me but quickly patched it up by sniffing.

Ohh..now I get it.. This idiotic women..

" Good morning sir " I finally said.

He just nodded his head at me and turned to Gwen
" Is everything I asked you to do done?" He asked.

" Yes Daniel its all done " she said smiling brightly.

I rolled my eyes and almost scoffed.
" Its Mr Harper or sir for you. Don't make me repeat it again. Understand" he said.

I smiled at her as she went pale.
" Y..yes sir" she answered.

" Ms Carter follow me" he said and walked away.

I went eye contact with Gwen and gave her a pitiful look. I walked away leaving her red with embarrassment.

I saw him going into his office and quickly entered after him.
He turned and stared at me while I stood there.

" Is.. Is something wrong s..sir" I asked as I felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

" Did I tell you to come in?" He asked.

My mouth formed an O, I opened my mouth but thought it was best not to argue. I turned and went out.

I knocked the door but no reply came. This time I knocked a bit louder.. Nothing. I did it again, even pressed my ear to the door to hear even his faintest voice, but nothing. Feeling frustrated I stomped my foot and banged the door hard.

" COME IN" came his voice loud enough to make Gwen peep to the hallway.

I quickly opened the door and shut it with a thud.

" Are you trying to break the door?" He said annoyingly.

" Well it wouldn't have been like this if you tell me come in The first time itself " I said.

" Watch your mouth when you are speaking to me" he stated angrily.

" Sorry sir" I quickly said.

" You don't have much work to do today, just arranging the files accordingly, so that when I ask a file you should bring it to me instantly. The files are a mess, previous assistants haven't done one thing right. " he sighed but continued

" Your office is next to mine,settle in and you know what you have to do.
You will be given work accordingly each day. Any questions? ".

" Uhmm.. Coffee? " I asked not knowing what else to ask.

He raised his eyebrow maybe confused as to why I would ask such a question.

" Not today, as I said you will be told accordingly. Anything else?" He said.

" No " I replied.

" Then you are dismissed " He said.

I left his office and entered in mine, well it is not bad. I kept my purse on the desk and looked around.
After few minutes of arranging my things I decided to start with the organizing. As soon as I opened the cupboard few files fell from the cupboard.
Well the past assistants have done a great job.

Note the sarcasm.

I removed my heels kept it aside and went back to the cupboard.
I removed all the files and the tags on it, as they were all wrong and placed them on the floor. I then picked up a pen, a note pad and sat on the floor with all the files surrounding me.

I took a deep breath and started sorting out the files.

It's going to be a long day..
