Chapter 5
- Alex point of view:
- I woke up at exactly my normal waking time. I took my bath and dressed up within 20 minutes, I was rushing to the extent that I forgot my phone. I didn't know I was acting like I was in fast motion until I got to the office. All in the name that I don't wanna be late on my first day at work.
- I got to the office at 7:50am and I went straight to Mr Winslow's office. I was surprised to meet him at his office.
- It seems he is a workaholic. because I don't know the type of person that works in the morning before eight in the morning if not workaholic.
- "Good morning sir" I greeted him.
- "Why did you open my door without knocking?" His eyes are glued on his laptop. What? He has a computer and two personal computers on his table. Did he want to kill himself? I am very sure he wants to kill himself with work. I rolled my eyes at his
- "Did you just roll your eyes at me?" Oh no I wasn't rolling my eyes at him. I entered his office.
- "No sir, I wasn't rolling my eyes at you" I paused, unable to think of anything at the moment. "It is already my usual behavior" I said and rolled my eyes again so that he could believe me then I saw a sparkling diamond ring on his finger. Wow he is married, that's great. I wonder how his family will bear his attitude. Well, that's not my business.
- "You are just so impossible" He muttered as he looked at me for a while waiting for my reaction but I won't react, silly man.
- "Where is my office, sir?" I asked him.
- "Beside mine, left hand side.it is written boldly P.A" what? I applied for an accountant , not a personal assistant.
- "I applied for accountant not personal assistant, sir"
- "If you are happy with it, stay and if you are not happy with it, you can gladly leave. The door is right behind you" Whatever!
- This man will be the end of me. I haven't done anything wrong for him not to give me the job I applied for. But damn, I really need this job for my needs.
- "I am happy with it sir. Thanks" I fake smiled and I turned around and I went out of his office. I went to my left hand side beside his office. I saw it clearly P.A making sure it is the office he has described for me not another person's office. I turned the knob and I entered, not believing my eyes.
- The office is Beautiful and huge, even bigger, I mean way bigger than the combination of my bedroom and bathroom. The wall is painted in a peach color and there is Air-conditional which I love. And before me stand an office chair which looks comfortable and a table or should I say desk. The table has a laptop, intercom,office clip etc. But it is filled with files. Why are there so many files here? Perhaps they must have forgotten them here. I went straight to Mr Winslow's office and knocked twice . I heard a faint come in and I entered.
- "Excuse me Sir, I saw a lot of files on my table so I want to inform you about it. Should I bring them here or should I call the cleaner to throw them out into the garbage?"
- "They are for you to work on. Analyze them, and correct the errors there. start now or you will not go home early "
- "Yes sir" Did he hate me to this extent? Or does he want me to be like him? I was about to go out when he said:
- "Wait, Miss winter, there is a contract between you and the company" which contract is that. I wondered.
- "Contract? Which one sir?" I asked in confusion.
- "Come over and read it yourself " He pointed at the paper and I went to his desk and picked it up. The paper States:
- *A contract between Mr Winslow.
- * Miss winter will work for Mr Winslow for the minimum of two years
- *Miss Winter mustn't resign until she is sacked or she has used her two years completely or else she will be sued.
- * There must be respect for the Employer by the employee
- * Miss Winter must not flirt with Mr Winslow or any of her colleagues in the office.
- *No relationship is allowed in the company.
- Thank you,
- From the human resources,
- Mr Bean.
- And under the instructions is where I will sign.
- "Have you read it correctly?" he looked up from his laptop and asked.
- "Yes sir" I answered him. The last thing I will ever do in my life is sleeping with my boss for money or flirting with him. I took the pen and signed where I was supposed to sign.
- "So your job is making me coffee,
- Taking down notes during the conference meeting, receiving calls, etc. You can ask Lizzy about the rest" He rubbed his temple. I can see he is tired.
- "Sir, can I go now?" I asked.
- "NO stand there and watch me" He said sarcastically.
- I opened the door of his office and about to go out when he said again:
- "Hey bring me my coffee, ask Lizzy how it is made" if not that he is my boss, I will spit inside his stupid coffee or put pepper spray. With that I went out of his office. It's gonna be a long day.
