KNIGHT

Six

Days past since I started working as the bosses pa. I now receive glares from envious females, I get home late in the evening latest 7. I never really get breaks and from the 2nd day I started, I noticed bulky men some times two or three guard his door. I didn't bother making friends with them. We all had a silent mutual understanding of never saying a word to one another. There were days where a group of them would head on to his office and all I could do was ignore them, Hattie's co workers were right because I could have sworn I saw a gun on one of them waist. Even though some would give me unpleasant glanced.

I and Mr Knights relationship was the same as before. Undeniable hatred tension could only be noticed by the wise. I would follow him to board meetings taking notes for him and survive some of the stares I got.

"Ms Clint get to my office now" my ohh so kind boss commanded. I followed his orders and stood before him. "Ms Clint I'm sure you know about the Marksons project we are planning on get"

"Yes sir"

"I need you to prepare for that project, you be the one presenting" he started working like he didn't even say anything.

My eyes widened in shock.

"But I don't know a thing abou..."

"I really don't care about what you know and what you don't. You are the one presenting it by the end of the week and that's final. You are dismissed" I turned on my heel and make a turn to the washroom. I managed to cool myself down before getting back to work on the project.

Today was the day of the presentation. I made sure everything single thing was available from necessary files to refreshments. I called in Heather another friend of mine from HR department to help with the arrangement. We met when I got lost on my first day as Mr Knights assistant.

"Looking good Thea."

"Thanks Heather, I just hope I don't screw this up"

"You won't trust me. I mean look at you" I was in a red pantsuit with the Blazer on my chair and a white shirt with white stiletoes.

"Thanks Heather"

"No problem I need to leave before they get here. See you at lunch?"

"Yeah sure" she then left. A few minutes later the elevator ding signaling the arrival of the guests. I quickly made my way to them and welcome 12 men into the board room, all of them varying of different ages.

"I'm Pierce Markson, you must be Ms Clint Knights PA yeah?" It shocked me at how you he was. He should be a year or two older than me. He was actually quite pretty with charming dark eyes.

I offered my hand " Yes, I am nice to meet you" he took my hand and kissed it.

"Pleasures all mine" he winked.

"If you're done flirting with my assistant, can we get started" I couldn't help but noticed how he emphsized the word 'my'.

We every one was seated the meeting began "Good day Gentlemen....."

The meeting was a blast, I managed to impress everyone including Mr Knight even if he gave away nothing his eyes told a different story.

"My my Aiden you never told me you had a talented beautiful girl working for you"

"I didn't have to tell you" ignoring him Pierce turned to me.

"Ms Clint I have to say that you were really good and I look forward in seeing you again" he took his hand from his pocket and outstretched it gazing at me with warmth in his eyes.

"I hope so too" I took it in a firm gripped and glanced at Mr Knight who was staring at our locked hands with an unknown emotion in his eyes and a clenched jaw. We both released each other and he left together with the rest of the client. When they were gone Mr Knight stormed off to God knows where leaving me alone in the big room. I loaded my stuff and since it was passed closing time with my boss in an unknown location I head back home happy of my great achievement today.

Arriving at work the next day I dropped my stuff and walked into the office only to be met with Mr Knight in a heated make out session with blonde one the desk. And I don't know why but it pained seeing this image in front of me "uhh sorry" I scrambled out the door and sat on my chair waiting for the punishment to come.

Seconds later the blonde bimbo with messed up and flushed face came out and send me a glare when she passed.

"Ms Clint. In my office. Now." I got up anxious of what to expect next. I knocked and entered with his permission. I kept my head down and stood in front of his desk for the first time since I got here. "Would you mind explaining to me why you walked in without knocking"

"I'm sorry sir"

"Keep your pathetic sorry to your self. Never in your life would you repeat the same mistake. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir"

"What you need to do is on your desk don't come back until it's done" I basically ran out of his and went to my desk to see the stack of papers there. Apparently all of this needed to be duplicated.

I went to the IT floor 32 and stumbled into the photocopying room. I pressed some buttons but nothing happened.

"I think you need to switch the fuse on" a voice said behind me. I spin around to be met with a lean guy with Chestnut colored hair and brown eyes "here let me help you" he bent down and switch it on before pressing the button and get on with the job.

"Thanks. Some times I hate technology"

"Why"

"I don't know. It freaks me out not knowing what's going to happen"

"Too much movies"

"I guess"

"I'm Nate" he wore a smile giving off this boy next door aura.

"Thea"

We talked for some while, whilst he did the papers from me. "Hey would like to grab lunch, probably tomorrow"

I smiled "yeah why not"

"Cool I'll come get you"

We exchanged numbers and went our separate ways. I stepped off the elevator and knock on the devil's office before entering since there's no response. I carefully place the papers on the table and almost screamed when I was met with a chest. I looked up to see a very displeased Mr Knight staring right back.

"Why are you late Ms Clint"

"I didn't know there was a time frame" he glared at me and looked like he was about to say something but decided not to. We stood there for what seems like hours before he opened his mouth

"Follow me" he ordered as he walked out the office. I tagged along and rode his private elevator with him in awkward silence. We got off at the 22nd floor. When we walked passed cubicles silence over took the place. Mr Knight didn't seem to bother since he kept on with his long strides. We turned around a corner and stopped into front of a door. He got a key out and unlock the door. We both went inside the dark room which was lit when he pulled the string from the bulb. Around every side were shelf filled with boxes making me wonder why we were here.

"You Ms Clint are going to go through every single piece of paper and arrange it by date. I expect you to finish by the end of this week"

I was shocked "How the fuck do you want me to do that".

"I'd watch your tongue if I were you and instead of complaining start now"

And with that he vanished leaving me alone in my misery.
