Chapter 2 My Boss

• Frank's POV
• I drove as fast as I could praying and hoping I didn't meet up with my boss by the time I got to work.
• Few minutes later I got to work and with the atmosphere on ground it means only one thing, the boss is yet to arrive.
• " Heyy Sharon" I said to the receptionist giving her warm smile which she reciprocated by smiling shyly.
• " Good morning Mr Nelson" she said.
• " Heyy umm, can you do me a favor..... you know by helping me with the sign in..... I wouldn't wanna be on the boss bad side" I said.
• " Don't worry about it... it's sorted" she said.
• " Ohh... that's very darling of you, thanks" I replied then tried to head off.
• " What about what we talked about the other day?" She asked.
• " Don't worry Love, I'll put it under consideration" I said then go ahead to my desk.
• Yeah, that's Sharon she's been hitting on me ever since she got here, I might be a Playboy but I know what I want and she's not in any way near that.
• " Heyy, Frankie boy" one of my female colleague said.
• " Laura baby, you're looking damn hot today" I said.
• " Really?..... thanks" she said sitting on her desk.
• " Don't worry baby.... you'll be mine soon" I said passing by.
• " Don't even dream about it" I heard her saying.
• " Hey man... you're late" my colleague Damien said.
• " Yeah... woke up late" I said.
• " Lemme guess, midnight rump" he said.
• " Something like that?" I said then sat down on my desk.
• " You're lucky the boss also came late" he said.
• " Yeah, I guess I should be called lucky" I said then we heard some rumbling among our colleagues.
• " She's here... everyone the boss is here" one of them said and everyone quickly stood up to their feet.
• Then the elevator dings and there she is in all her beauty, she stood there looking magnificent like a queen.
• " God, isn't she stunning?..... this is my ideal woman.... I want this woman badly, she's just too perfect" I said.
• " You realise that's our boss you're talking about?" Andrew said.
• " Of course I know that" I said staring at her.
• " You also know that she's engaged right?, And she does know about all your... you know what I mean" he said.
• " Yeah I know... one of the reason I didn't even try to make any move, damn, see that shape boy" I said.
• *
• " The only reason I bought this building was because it has a private elevator" The boss said as she entered.
• " That way, I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning, getting to my office, find out who use it, have them reprimanded, or bathed, I don't care which ..."
• " Here's your latte, Hot" her secretary said handling her her coffee.
• " Ugh..... that will be new and different" the boss said they went to her office and everyone sat down.
• Author's POV
• " I have a meeting with the board members today at lunch, so cancel lunch with my fiancee" Bella said to her secretary as they went to her office.
• " Got it" secretary said.
• " Also, I've emailed a list, prepare termination letters for the employees as noted. I realise that there are quite a few"
• " But it will be so nice if you handwrote them, use the lesser card stock".
• " You're downsizing the workers?" Secretary asked surprised.
• " Why?... is there a problem?" " No ma'am, but that was your first acquisition" secretary said.
• " Go see if the layout for the project is ready" she said.
• " It's not that I don't see your frown, it's just that I don't care enough to ask why it's there" she added. "
• All those people they are going to lose their jobs... what's going to happen to them, to their families?... they don't have to downsize at the company" Secretary said.
• " Why would I care about that?... they are to be blamed for their incompetence, this company get to this stage by hard-working" she said.
• " But t..." " You're my secretary Stella, and you'll do as I said..... you're lucky I like you if not you know what will happen" she said.
• " Sorry ma'am, I'll get it done right away" the secretary said and she turned to leave.
• " Tell the director to see me right away" she said. " Okay" secretary said then she went out.
• Frank's POV
• I was on my desk working on my laptop and chitchatting with Damien when the boss's secretary came.
• " Frank, Miss Richmond wants you in her office right away" she said.
• " Wait Stella, what's it about?" I asked.
• " I don't know.... you have to go find out" she said then left.
• " Do you think it's about me coming late this morning?... I think she's gonna fire me" I asked Damien.
• " C'mon Frank, you're the director she can't just fire you like that" damien said.
• " You know that's not true at all, the previous director was sacked for missing two days Job" I said.
• " Then you will have to use your charm on her" Damien said.
• " You know that's not possible... it's more like my charm don't work on her" I standing up.
• " I guess you will have to go find out" Damien said. " I guess I'll do that" I said then went straight to her office.
• I got to her office then knocked and she replied for me to come and I entered.
• " You called for me" I said as I entered.
• " Yeah, actually there's something I need to talk to you about" she said and I was relieved cause I'm not getting fired.
• " What is it about?" I asked.
• " Yeah, I just want to ask..... how do you do it?" She asked and I was confused.
• " Do what?" I asked.
• " I'm very impressed with what you've been doing in this company, especially with how you helped us secure so many deals" she said and I smiled.
• " I don't think that should be a question... it's my job to make sure this company is successful" I replied.
• " It's just that with you something like that seems easy, like yesterday I was trying to secure a contract with one our clients but she's giving me a hard time" she said.
• " so I was thinking you and I could go over to her and try to convince her" she added and I was lost in thought.
• ' oh no it's never going to work out..... I'm never going to be comfortable around her especially with something like that'
• ' how will I tell her I can't have her there with me, I will never concentrate and there's a possibility we might lose this contract'
• " Did you hear what's just said?" She asked taking me out of my reverie.
• " You said?" I asked.
• " You mean you didn't hear what I just said?" She asked.
• " Sorry ma'am, I was lost in thought" I replied.
• " What are you thinking?"
• " Nothing ma'am"
• " Get yourself together, I said we are leaving in ten minutes" she said.
• " Ma'am, I don't think you should come along.... I'll just take care of it" I said.
• " This is not just any contract.... it's a very important one, so I'm going" she said.
• " But ma'am it..." " What's wrong with you all today... why are you all trying to tell me what to do" she said.
• " Listen I'm the boss here... and when I said I'm going then I'm going... you don't tell me what to do... and be careful and do you try to mess this up" she said.
• " Yes ma'am" I replied.
• " Get out and wait for me at the garage" she said then I went out.
• " Uh uh..... I'm very certain This is not going to end well" If I want to love anyone I'd want it to be her or someone just like her, too bad I can't have her cause she's already engaged.
• I've made a promise that I'd stop being a Playboy if I see a lady just like my boss that's worth loving.
