Could She Be Mrs Alfredo

chapter 6

Katelyn's pov

I watched as my boss walked out of my office leaving me alone to digest everything he just said, to say am not overwhelmed will be a huge understatement taking calm breaths I sat on one of my "24 hours office chairs" as Mr Alfredo called them waiting for Katelyn to come help me figure out these gadgets.
"Honestly I believe with great WiFi I could do all my work on my Samsung although it's old it still works" I thought to myself
"Earth to Katelyn" I heard a voice say as I looked up I say that the voice came from katelyn I was so deep in thought I didn't notice when she arrived.
"Mon amie what is your pretty little head thinking about, I have called your name 2 times before you looked up at me" she said with a smiling softly
"Ohh nothing Katelyn I was just thinking about all this" I said while glancing around my office
"Well I can definitely help you with understanding the gadgets that will help reduce the things to think about" she says with laughing
"As if I have a choice, please take a sit Katelyn" I replied smiling back

An hour an a half later I know I am even more overwhelmed than I was before Katelyn came in
"So did you get all that" she asks noticing my frown
"Not really Katelyn I am still confused if not more but I know if I remember everything you just showed me I will be fine" I say with a worried expression on my face
"Mon amie trust me you will get used to this" she says laughing a bit
"My time is up ma chéri (my dear) so I have to go, maybe we can meet up for lunch at the reception area it's my treat"
"I would love that Katelyn"
"See you at lunch, can't wait"she smiles widely as she walks away, i get back to studying the things she just showed me so I don't forget

"Good morning Miss Hill" looking up from my laptop I see doctor Drew from the day before
"Good morning Doctor Drew" I reply with a smile
"I can see you are feeling much better today Miss Hill, how's your first day of work so far"
"Its good I guess just trying to settle in but am not complaining" I reply smiling
"Am happy to hear that Miss Hill"
"Drew...c..can you please call me Katelyn seeing as I call you by your first name can you please do the same" I ask nervously
"No problem Katelyn whatever makes you feel comfortable I don't mind, I'll see you around katelyn" he says smiling before he leaves my office.
"Thanks Drew" I called out to him

Few minutes later I hear a buzzing sound assuming it is the intercom I press the button under my desk
"Miss Hill please come to my office" I heard Mr Alfredo say and I walk over to his office which is just beside mine
"Yes sir"
"I need you to familiarize yourself to list of all the contacts i sent you via email those are our most important clients, also I need you to fix my schedule for this week and email it to me"he says
"Yes sir" I replied
"You can take your lunch break at 12pm for 45intues and don't worry I don't expect you to bring me lunch all that has been arranged" he says while typing away on his laptop
"Alright Mr Alfredo thank you" I say and see him nod before walking back to my office.

I did all the work Mr Alfredo has asked me to do which was not much although I did have a problem with the schedule but once again I am still getting used to this Apple laptop once I was done I sent it to Mr Alfredo email which Katelyn so kindly showed me earlier and I was also right on time for my lunch with Katelyn

I grabbed my side bag and phones to go meet Katelyn for lunch with a smile on my face
"Am leaving for lunch Mr Alfredo" I call out
"You may leave Miss Hill I have no requests"
Nodding my head I left the office walking to the elevator which was already on our floor so I got in and pressed the G button.
Once on the ground floor I saw that Katelyn was waiting for me as soon as she saw me she waved
"Mon amie you made and on time too" she said with a wink
"Yes Katelyn I finished on time luckily" I said with a small laugh
"That's great now let's go get lunch am starving" she says as she pulls my hands towards the entrance
"Where exactly are we having lunch" I asked curious
"In Starbucks which is just across the street"
"There is a  Starbucks around how come i didn't notice that earlier" I say with a frown
"Seems like you not very aware of your surroundings ma chéri" katelyn says as we cross the street heading to Starbucks
"I guess so hey" I say beside Katelyn
Luckily there was no line which I found suprising
"Good day ladies what can I get you" the barista asked
"Can I get the breakfast croissant sandwich, a frappuccion and a slice of raspberry cheesecake" Katelyn said
"And for you miss" he said looking at me
"Can I get the chicken caprese sandwich, a chocolate milkshake and a slice of red velvet cake" I replied
The brasista nods "who would be paying for the meals"
"I will pay that's not a problem it's my treat mon amie, why don't you go save us a table while I wait for our order" katelyn says with a smile
"Thanks Katelyn" I say as I walk towards the nearest window table with two seats to settle down while waiting for Katelyn to bring our food. Few minutes later Katelyn is carry two trays full of food
"Here your food mon amie" she says placing the food trays on the table with a wide smile
"Thanks katelyn you didn't read didn't have to"
"Nonsense, this was no hassle now let's eat this food looks absolutely delicious"she said as she picked up her breakfast sandwich and bit into it I giggled at the face she made but as i also pick up my sandwich to eat
"So tell about yourself aside form the obvious fact that we both have the same name" she asks
"There really isn't much to say I don't remember my life before 5 years ago I woke up in a hospital with no memory, name or family, so I chose the name Katelyn Hill and register it of course" I said before bitting into my sandwich again
"Oh mon ami est désolé ami(oh my am sorry friend) but we have similar stories I am actually an orpharn I live alone, my brother here in the states though but he is married, our parents passed away 5 years ago while I was still in college not long after we came to the US after leaving Paris where I  was born and raised" she said with a shrug but I can see the sadness in her eyes
Some of you are wondering how I understand Katelyn well I took French classes in college while also obtaining my diploma in communications
"Ohh my am sorry Katelyn it must have been hard for you and your brother" I say with a sad expression while  sipping my beverage understanding how Katelyn feels to live without parents
"Ohh ma chéri In this life such things happen we just have to learn to deal with it" she said with a sad smile
"How the job so far, I hope you no longer feeling overwhelmed by the gadgets"she says smirking I was happy though for the subject change
"Hahaha Katelyn I think I got the hang of it so far am good" I reply sticking my tongue at her while she rolled her eyes at me
"Childish much"
"Can I ask you something though"
"Am all ears dear"
"D...did Mr Alfredo previous secretary/PAs get an apartment and all you know..all that" I questioned needing to clearify my doubts
"Ohhhh that, well yes they all did, you see Mr Alfredo just became the CEO this week before that he was the head of all departments but after what happened to his dad he took over but my point is he is very busy am and his secretary/PAs always had to be available, his father came up with the idea 3 years ago that they should get an apartment for them to stay in" she explained
"Ohhh i see this makes more sense now I was worried to be honest I did not want to be seen as a charity case you know" I said
"Well my dear you have nothing to worry about the only people who know about this arrangement is me, doctor D, Mr Alfredo, his brother and his father"
"Alright then thanks katelyn"
"You welcome mon amie now let's eat up so we are not late" she winks and we eat the rest of our meal in silence once we were done we head back to our work places after a friendly huge I entered the elevator which takes me back to the 35th floor.
