Sir...
1749 Words
A small smile crept to my face.
“A stoic face Zandro just paid my mother’s hospital bills? I thought he is cold as an ice”
I entered my mom’s room and I saw her sleeping. I planted a kiss on her forehead and leave a note.
“Good Morning Ma’am” I smiled at the nurse who entered the room.
“Good Morning” she smiles, she is gorgeous.
“I am Stella Hudson, your mother’s caregiver” my eyes widen.
“I never hired a caregiver”
“Mr. Vendroux hired me ma’am” I’m still in shock. He paid the hospital bills then he hired a caregiver?
I looked at my watch and it’s 9:00 am already.
“I’ll be back, please taking care of my mother” she nodded and I left the room.
“I rode a cab while texting to Zeinah” I missed her calls last night and I know she is worried sick.
‘Sorry, I arrive safely at the hospital’
I paid for the cab and go to our small apartment.
I sigh as I prepared my office attire.
I quickly take a bath and fixed myself.
I simply put light makeup and rose-colored lipstick. I also put on mascara to emphasize my naturally curled eyelashes.
I tie my hair.
I bring my papers and resume needed for a job interview.
I LOOKED UP TO THE TALL BUILDING OF VENDROUX CO. I feel nervous yet I am dedicated to getting a position for me to pay my debt to Zandro. I mean, Mr. Vendroux.
“Hi, I am applying for a vacant job”
The receptionist clicks something on the computer.
“I am sorry ma’am but there are no job vacancies for now”
“Uhm, Mr. Vendroux handed me this” I handed over the card and her eyes widen.
“I am sorry ma’am wait for a moment” she leads me to a comfortable one-seater sofa and another employee handed me a drink. I smiled and a small question crept into my mind?
‘Why they are treating me like a VIP guest?’
I shook my head and start to sip in my drink.
“If your ready ma’am we can proceed to Mr. Vendroux office”
“Mr. Vendroux office? Not in the Human Resource department?” It is so odd that the owner of the corporation is the one who interviews me.
“Apologies ma’am, but I don’t know the reason either” I smiled and quickly got up.
“let’s go” she nodded and guided me to the elevator.
I saw her press the 70th floor.
I’m practicing in my mind because it is such a shame if I can’t pass this interview.
“I SAID THROW AWAY THAT FILES, THAT PROJECT CAN’T HELP TO IMPROVE THE COMPANY!” we both flinched as we heard a shout inside that office.
I woman got out crying.
I heard my heart pounding loudly.
“M-ma’am you c-can go inside” I heard how her voice shaken that makes me nervous.
She left me and immediately go to the elevator.
Shit!
I knock twice
“WHAT!??” like a roaring lion noise came out.
“S-sir, I came here f-for the i-interview” I scolded myself because I speak trembling.
“Angela Dein?” now his voice is calm.
“Yes sir?”
“Come in” I saw the messy papers on the floors.
I started to pick it up.
“Leave it there”
“Let me clean it up sir” I heard him sigh the help me pick up the litter.
He gets the papers from me and tosses them into his trash can.
“Let’s talk about your work” my forehead creases.
“I thought I am having my job interview today sir?” he smirks.
“You've hired” leaves speechless.
“S-sir?”
He ignored me and give me a pile of papers.
“Make a PowerPoint presentation” I nodded and accept the papers. I start to march out but I remember I don’t know where’s my office is.
“Sir?” I looked at him and caught him smirking.
“Yes, Ms. Ferrer?” I gulp. He looks so hot with his arms crossed. I shook my head.
“Where’s my office sir?” he pointed to the table next to his table.
“Here”
“WHAT!?” I scolded myself for shouting.
“Are you shouting at me Ms. Ferrer” for the first time, I saw a glimpse of naughtiness in those deep green eyes?
“Sorry Sir, I’m just shocked” he smirks.
“Start your work, time is ticking”
I nodded and hurriedly goes to my table.
I bring out my laptop and push the button. My eyebrows met when the laptop takes too long to open.
“oh, crap!” I exclaimed.
I saw Mr. Vendroux flinch. Oh no,
“What’s the problem, Ms. Ferrer?” I bit my lip. Why my dearest laptop? In this situation? Really? I thought we can be the best buddy but why you already gave up!.
He stands up and he goes at my back. As badly as I wanted to stand up also but he places his hands on the table blocking my way and it seems like he’s hugging me from the back.
“Your laptop is broken?” I nodded.
Someone knocks on the door.
“Good timing,” he said and he opened the door. I saw his hands with a box of a brand-new Apple MacBook Pro 2021, as I remember it hasn’t been released yet.
“This is yours” My eyes widen.
“I can’t accept that Sir, it is too much” he looked at me seriously.
“Are you declining the company benefits?” like employee benefits? This is too many benefits.
“Sir?” he sighs.
“Are you declining my gift?” I saw his face become stoic, with no more smirks and playfulness on it.
“No sir?” I said unsure.
“Good” he handed me the box with rose gold-colored ribbon.
I unbox the MacBook in excitement.
“Wow”
“You like it?” I look at Mr. Vendroux
“Thank you, Sir, these benefits feel like I am an important employee or I am one of the stockholders” I joke.
“You are more special than those stockholders” I blink twice.
“Sir?”
“Do your thing in that MacBook and start to do your work” I nodded happily.
I ALREADY FINISH THE PRESENTATION and it is already 11:30 am.
“I already finish it Sir” he looks at me. He seems so tired.
“Do you want me to make coffee for you sir?” He nodded his head while massaging his temple.
I got up to start to make his coffee. I make a hot americano because he has a small café machine here. I don’t know what it calls but yeah.
I give him the coffee and he sips on it.
“Go have your lunch break” I nodded but before I can open the door, I heard his stomach growls.
“Pfft--”
“Are you laughing at me, Ms. Ferrer?”
“No sir, I can cook dishes for us sir if you wouldn’t mind.” He looks at me and nodded his head.
“You can cook?” I hear ‘doubt’ in his voice.
“I can beat Gordon Ramsey if you want Sir” he chuckled.
“Let’s see” I confidently walk into his small kitchen in his office. I scan the refrigerator and I saw the ingredients needed.
I decided to make bean and cheese quesadillas because I haven’t eaten them for a while.
Loaded Greek Chicken Avocado salad, there’s red wine vinegar, check!
And lastly, Turkey zucchini boats.
I think I can prepare this in an hour.
I PLACE MY COOKED DISHES PLEASINGLY IN THE SERVING PLATE. I can be a cook, a secretary, a caregiver, a waitress, and many more since I experienced those jobs for 2 years since I graduated and from the issue on Haliliya Co.
“It smells good” I saw Mr. Vendroux entered the mini kitchen.
“of course,” I wink then I realized what I did. Oh crap!
“I didn’t mean it, Sir. I’m sorry” he chuckled. Why on earth can this man chuckle sexily?
“I’m used to it” then he winks back. He is ‘used’ to it?
“Let’s eat” he sat down to the chair. His mini-kitchen has a small table with 3 chairs.
“Your office is like an apartment sir; I wonder if there is a bedroom here” I jokingly said and take a bit on the quesadillas.
“There is.” I nearly spit out what’s in my mouth. He handed me water and drink it quickly.
“oh,”
“You cook so well” I blush when he compliments me.
“I used to work on my Auntie’s restaurant sir but I quit when I am hired at the Haliliya Co. After the incident sir, my aunt offered me the job but I refuse since I can’t imagine an employee getting kick out because of me. My aunt already found a great chef and I want my aunt to grab that opportunity and now I am happy with the results. The restaurant is growing because of the chef”
He nodded.
“How old are you?”
“25 Sir” I remember my resume and other papers.
“I will leave my papers in the HR sir for them to have background information about me” he shook his head.
“Leave it to me, you are working as MY assistant in an office or everywhere I go” my eyebrow arched.
