My Boss And I

Episode 2

MY BOSS AND I.

*He is cold but I'm humorous*

Ep 2.

Jacinta's Pov

I'm in this good good sleep and I don't want to wake up, but someone keeps pulling my blanket.

You might think that my bed is so comfortable such that I don't want to wake up, but no.

There are bedbugs here but we are used to each other. They sting and hide, I find them and kill them.

Funny huh? Yes it is

That's our life and the mattress is almost finished too.

I keep pulling my blanket up but this person keeps pulling it down until it's taken off completely.

The morning breeze, which is very chilly, hits through my skin and I can't hesitate to open my eyes.

My eyes come in direct contact with my little sister, Jessica, who is frowning and complaining.

"Sis, it's almost 8 am. I'm going to be late for school again!" She complains but my eyelids are so heavy to open wide.

As I struggle to get out of bed, aunt Saira, our guardian, walks in.

"Unbelievable of you Jacie! You are still not prepared and you have got a new job to catch up with the Merkian group of companies! If I were you, I would be by the office right now!" Says aunt Saira and it's just like her words have brushed off all the sleep in me.

If it were for my sister getting to school late, I wouldn't worry about that.

I would just simply lie to the teacher that she had a stomach ache since last night and had to get checked this morning.

But damn! My new job in a company? Not just any company, one of the biggest companies in the country! The Merkian! There is no way I'm missing this for anything.

"Aunt Saira, could you please drop Jessie at school for me? Please aunt! I need to rush. Pwease!" I beg to aunt Saira and give her the doggy eyes too with a little child's plea.

She agrees, yes!

"Don't forget to shut the door when you leave Jacie. Make sure to take a bath too!" Yells aunt Saira as she walks out of our small house with Jessie.

We live in a small house beside the beach and our bar is just a few strides away.

It is a two bedroom one, with one bathroom, a small kitchen area and a small living room.

It's just the three of us in here. I sleep with Jessie and aunt Saira in the next room.

Since she took us in, we learnt to adapt to such life of hardship.

We have many debts to settle currently but we will manage somehow. I got a new job anyway! Probably

The thoughts of debts reminds me of the incident that took out yesterday.

I promised to pay up for a broken side mirror of an imported car.

Me with my big heart!

But no worries now. I will get the job and pay up the debts in instalments.

The thoughts of the job won't leave my mind and I quickly head out to the bathroom.

Filling in the bucket and grabbing the soap to shower will take longer time for me.

I just wash my hands, feet, face and head out.

I grab a knee length, black, fitting skirt that aunt Saira gave me last night and put on with a white top.

My black dolly shoes are almost finished but I can manage with them until I get my first salary and I rush out to the bus stop.

It's already 7:50 but the bus is not yet here.

I cant wait any longer. I'm so excited about the job and I can't lose it.

Just then, I remember that I'm not experienced and that I'm a school drop out. My heart sinks.

Just then some posh car passes by and throws mud on my clean clothes!

Who the heck does that to me and just goes without an apology! Rich men with arrogant behaviours.

Luckily he was in a car. I would have strangled him!

Aaargh! Now what do I do? Should I go get changed or what?

What to do?

Damian's Pov

It's morning as usual and there is a meeting with a very important client at exactly 8 am.

I head out to the gym room and exercise for a while before taking a shower.

I put on my black suit matching with a black bow tie and black shoes with a golden watch that I bought yesterday.

Thinking of yesterday my blood boils.

That short ugly girl! She hasn't paid up for my side mirror.

I will surely find her!

Mom and dad are out on a business trip, it's just me and my bodyguards and my maids.

Life has always been like this since...i don't remember anymore. I don't care.

Breakfast is ready and it's just my favourite made by Celine my old maid.

She took care of me since my childhood and she know me better than my mom and dad.

I drive off to the garage to check on my Lamborghini veneno but it's not yet fixed.

It takes time to import another pair of side mirrors. This is a 2% loss for me.

It's a new car and this happens!

I don't like this bloody s**t at all and that girl will pay for it!

I angrily get out of the place and head out for the meeting in my black Audi.

I like black by the way. It suits me alot.

Blue is my second favourite and followed by red and white.

"Don't stop for anything on the road. Drive to the Hotel where my client is waiting. I should arrive there in five minutes!" I command my driver since I hate being late for any thing that concerns money and work.

Afterall, time is money and it waits for no man.

Only if the poor people realise this, we won't have them in our society.

My dad has always told me that and that is should always work and work to bring more money.

The road ahead is abit muddy and slippery but I don't care. I have to reach to my client within five minutes!

The driver throws some mud to some girl on the road but I don't care.

She could have dodged for Godsake!

She'll probably go home and change into something else.

And I just landed my destination. I like how obedient my driver is.

I get in and sit to wait for my client.

Actually I'm the youngest and most successful business man in this country.

I want to join hands with the New Life television and that's what the meeting is about.

I'll head out to my office afterwards with the good news. I'm sure of getting this contract anyway!

Justin's Pov

I've been waiting for my father's life saver for a while now but she is nowhere to be found.

It's now 8: 30 and i asked her to be here by 8.

I'm restless on my chair and my secretary has just noticed it.

"Are you okay sir?" She asks

"It's the new girl. She is not here yet. I had talked to my cousin about her and he agreed to meet her by this time. He should be on his way but I don't know where this girl is. I can't even reach her on the phone" I reply with panic in my voice.

Actually the heir to the Merkian group of Companies is my cousin. His father and my father are brothers from the same father but different mothers.

Complicated family they have.

"Is that supposed to be the girl?" Asks my secretary who is pointing outside my office and I turn my attention towards that direction.

My heart almost popped out of its temple immediately my eyes landed on her.

"What's she wearing?" I ask, absolutely to no one in particular.

"She can't be the girl that you described yesterday sir" says my secretary but I know that my eyes ain't lying to me.

She looks funny in what she puts on but I still walk up to her.

Most of the workers have already started talking about her in loud whispers.

I bet she can hear them.

.....................................................................

Hmmmm!

I sigh before entering the big building with the label ' THE MERKIAN GROUP OF COMPANIES" in huge capital letters.

This is actually the worst morning of my life. I just hope my day turns out great.

After the car threw mud at me, I walked over to my friend's house which is past the road.

I couldn't go to work looking like a pig but my friend made it worse.

I look like a... aargh forget it.

Her name is Vivian, a girl but she likes dressing like a boy and walking like one too.

You can say she is a tom boy but with a girl's soft voice.

She even likes to be called Viv.

"OMG! Jacie you look like a pig! What happened?" She asked as I stepped in her house.

She leaves with her two parents and one young brother who has a crush on my little siz.

She is actually in her last year of high school which I should be too and I don't know why she skipped school today but I dint care at that moment.

"Just lend me some clothes and don't ask me what happened . Lend me your bicycle too coz I'm late for my new job!" I said looking so down at the moment with my shoulders fallen.

She understood me and just lend me her boy clothes.

She is tall than me and her clothes just.... are too baggy.

You can guess how a short girl like me looks like right now, in a huge blue t-shirt, and a blue ragged trouser which I keep pulling up since my waist is small.

It keeps dropping and I keep pulling up.

"You look cute baby. Run along and don't be late for work" that's what Viv told me and shut the door on my face.

I had no option but to come to work like this but now all the staff at the first floor are looking at me.

They are even talking about me and i could hear them

?who is she? What's she wearing? Haha

?I've never seen a shabby person like her in my whole life. Haha

?the trouser keeps falling off haha

?does she work here? ?

?the boss will certainly think she is a thief and throw her out. Haha

?maybe she came to ask for alms. You know how these poor people are

?yeah right! So lazy!

Their words make me freeze and want to ran away but just then I see Justin coming over towards me.

Suddenly I feel relieved as he reaches to me.

"Where have you been? You weren't reachable" he says that and I dawns to me that I forgot to plug my phone last night and I left it on the bed.

Fuck! I hate this day!

"It's a long story Justin" I say and he sizes me.

"What are you wearing?" He asks and I feel shy to even reply.

"s**t! Now I can't even help you get other clothes" he says as he keeps staring at the entrance.

"Who is he?" I ask as I notice a man getting off a posh car which looks just like the one that ruined my clothes.

"He is the CEO and heir of this company" says Justin and I give a better glance to the man just to notice that....oh my God.

I told you I hate this day. Right now, I wish for the ground to swallow me and vomit me back home on my bedbug bed.

It's the man I owe money for his imported side mirror.

Fuck my good heart! He has noticed me and it's the end of me.

......... .........................................................

Damian's Pov

I've just gotten the contract and I'm now heading in to my office with the good news.

There is a person standing with Justin at the centre of the first floor, dressed like a hooligan.

As I enter the main entrance, the person turns back and ...oh s**t!

It's that silly side mirror girl!

What's she wearing?

I don't care what she is doing here, she has to pay up for my side mirror and for how she talked to me as if I was a nobody.

I don't know how fast I've reached here but I'm infront of her right now!

She looks scared and that's what I want to see in her eyes.

"Get her to my office right now! Get back to work Justin?" I command my bodyguards and everyone is startled as I say that.

"Boss she is the new..." starts Justin but I don't want to hear anything at the moment.

I just want the girl to pay back. She even lied to me that she would pay by evening.

My bodyguards have already carried her into the elevator and she keeps screaming uncontrollably.

There are two elevators in my building and so I use the other one . I hate noise.

"Make her shut up!" I say and hear murmurs and small laughter from my workers as i go away.

.........................................................

Jacie's Pov

I feel my legs getting lifted from the ground and I'm now so high on the shoulders of one of the tall tall bodyguards.

That silly arrogant rich man has just commanded him to take me to his office.

At first I don't know where he is taking me, but then I see him directing us towards the elevator.

No! I can't go into that hell that killed my parents.

My fear builds up and I start to scream, Maybe they would let me go but the arrogant man walks to another elevator by the side.

"Please don't go in there! Please let me down! Not in there! I will pay your money but please don't take me in there" I scream in tears but the huge bodyguard only puts me down immediately the elevator closes up.

I start to feel like the ground in moving upwards and I can't take it anymore.

My head spins as I hear voices of mom and dad calling out for help.

My eyesight becomes dim and everything becomes dark.
