The One Night Stand

Chapter 5

Alyssa's P.O.V

"Ring!!!!! Ring!!!!" I groaned out loud in annoyance. I didn't know I would be back to this in just few days. It just feels like I just quit my old job few hours ago and now, I'm already on a new one. The pay is good Lyss. That is one right thing and so I got determined and stood up with that thought, carrying myself to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, had my bath and came out of the bathroom.

Now what to wear? Ha!! I always forget that I don't actually have that much clothes to chose from. Sad, I know. I checked my little wardrobe and decided on wearing a fitted grey pencil skirt and a dark shade of purple button up shirt which was tucked into my skirt and I paired this with my black pumps. I looked at my black hair in the mirror, deciding what to do with it and I just curled it but then combing through it again to make it look like natural curls. I put on some lip gloss and mascara and also arranging my eyebrows.

I looked at myself once more in the mirror and smiled littly in satisfaction. I looked okay.

I took my bag and headed to the living room... I checked my wrist watch and it seemed I still had about twenty minutes to spare and the company was 15 minutes from my apartment.

I should probably just eat at the office. I thought and that was what I was going to do. I ordered my Lyft and when it came, I entered the car and was on my way to my New job.

I used my ID card and checked in through the security checkpoint. I see Mike at the reception and when he notices me, he smiles at me and I do the same as I approached him.

"Hey new worker." He teases and I grinned cheekily.

"Hello co worker." I replied and he laughed.

"I'm not your co worker.. I work down here and you work up there. " he pointed out but I just waved it off.

"Whatever.. co worker or not, you're my friend." I tell him and he nodded his head, smiling.

"Well that is a good thing to hear.. now shoo! You might become late for work. Go meet Mr. Myers... he's the one in charge of you settling in." I nodded my head and start walking to the elevator, not before waving Mike bye.

"Goodluck.. bye." I waved back and entered the elevator. I pressed the button for the ninth floor and so I was on my way.

"Okay Alyssa.. be calm. Its just a job. You'll do great!" I assured myself.

The elevator opened and I was at the place where I had come for the interview. I felt the stares, people wondered who I was as I approached the office. I knocked twice and once I heard a 'come in', I entered the office.

"Miss Grown!" Mr. Myers teased, smirking to which I just groaned inwardly. I didn't need him to think I was disrespectful and so I sucked it up and beamed at him.

"Mr. Myers... good morning. Please I apologize for the tardiness... there was a litt-' he waved it off, cutting me short.

"Don't worry about it.. although I expect you to try to keep up with time as it is very expected of you to do so." he said and I nodded my head in understanding.

"I will not be late again sir." He looked at me before chuckling.

"I would really appreciate if you don't look so tensed. Relax... its just a job and besides you're not even working under me so it isn't me you should be so tensed around." Now I was confused,

"Oh...but you were the one who interviewed me so I assumed it would be you." I told him and he nodded his head.

"Yes... I was the one who interviewed you but it was to help out your actual boss. He was caught up in something and well I just helped him out." This just made me more confused. I thought Mr. Myers was the owner of the company and so I was working as his secretary. I so badly wanted to ask him if he was the CEO but I didn't want to offend him if he took it the wrong way so I just let my curiosity slide.

"So sir, when will I meet my boss so I could get to work?" I asked and he laughed, a mischievous glint played around in his eyes. Why did he seem like he was hiding something? I thought.

"Eager now are we? Well you'll be seeing your boss soon enough... he's in a meeting I guess and when you see him, I hope he doesn't give you a scare. He tends to be that way sometimes." he said, emphasizing on the 'scare' part. Was the guy that bad that Mr. Myers had to give me a heads up? Oh well.. till 'soon enough' as Mr. Myers had said.

"So what would I be doing for the time being then?"

"You are going to be guided by me the do's and don'ts of this company and then I am going to help you to know what exactly you are going to be doing for your employer. This will be fun." He gave me a reassuring smile to which I smiled back. Mr. Myers was a nice guy even if he was a little bit weird, he was nice.

"Now this is the first rule of Ross Corporations...." and that was how I spent hours trying to understand everything Mr. Myers was teaching me.

"Okay so when it is time for a meeting that would be held in the company, supposing a lunch business meeting or so, you always try to get a -" he was cut short by a knock on the door. He muttered a 'come in' and a lady entered. She was really pretty and looked nice. I said a 'hello' to which she replied with a small smile.

"Sir... Mr. Ross has just scheduled a meeting that will be taking place in ten minutes. He had said that everyone was to attend, even the new workers." she told Mr. Myers, glancing at me.

"Very well then. We will be going for the meeting soon. Thank you Thelma." He flashed her a grin and she nodded her head curtly and turned back not before I could see the smile she was trying to hide. Hmmm. I thought. I looked at Mr. Myers and I could see he was forcing back a smile.

"Is she the girlfriend?" I blurted out before I could even stop myself. I face palmed myself real hard inwardly. Mr. Myers looked at me, shock clearly on his face but I could see the redness on his cheeks.

"You remember?" I nodded my head shyly then sighed out.

"I am so sorry Mr. Myers... I wasn't trying to be nosy.. I just blurted it out withou-" He chuckled.

"Oh dear... its fine. Don't worry about it but please try not to blurt that out around." He said before giving me a smile and I smiled back.

"Now let's head on to that meeting.. we got just about two minutes. Oh shoot!" I immediately stood up, rushing out with him and going into to the elevator. Once we entered, there was just silence and then he spoke.

"No" I rose an eyebrow in confusion.

"No?"

"NO... she's not my girlfriend."

"Oh." I felt bad for Thelma.. she looked like she really liked him. Poor Thelma.

"She's my wife to be." and in a millisecond if possible, my head turned sideways to look at him and he was smiling cheekily.

"You sneaky guy! Here I was feeling bad for her already." I said to which he just laughed.

"I haven't actually proposed yet. Planning to do so this Saturday. A beautiful amazing date and end it with this." he brought out his phone and showed me the ring. I was smiling like crazy just as the elevator doors opened and we met a neutral looking Thelma.. Oh s**t! Judging from the way we looked, it was a pretty bad sight.

"Sir.. the meeting just started and I wanted to come warn you again since our boss hates tardiness." She said in a really clipped tone. I think Mr. Myers was about to say something but she already turned on her heel and started walking back to the conference room.

"Oh no.... she shouldn't get the wrong idea." I said, feeling really bad.

"Hey hey.. she's my fiancé. I think I can explain to her and I love seeing her jealous.. it makes me feel all giddy inside." I chuckled, shaking my head at Mr. Myers' childlike behavior.

"You're quite funny Mr. Myers."

"I try." he wiped off imaginary dirt from his shoulders as we entered the conference room .

"Would you introduce me to my employer here after the meeting?" I asked him and he nodded, smiling widely.

"Of course I will." He said with so much enthusiasm and I just stared at him weirdly. I looked around and saw that the staff all looked good. Wow, I hoped I would be able to fit in. A man was backing the podium and he looked kind of familiar just from his back form and from the way he looked from the back view, it seemed he was the CEO and so just when he was about turning, my phone slipped from my hand. I groaned and then bent to pick it up just as he spoke.

"Good afternoon everybody." The strangely familiar voice said. Why did he sound so familiar? Maybe I had heard him on the news. I picked up my phone and once I looked back up, the phone slipped through my fingers once more and this was due to shock as my mouth became open. There standing was Mr. Hot Stuff! on the podium and he was staring right into my eyes.

"My name is Daniel Ross and I am the CEO of Ross' Enterprises. It is a pleasure to meet you all." He said as he continuously kept eye contact with me and when I though nothing could go worse, I heard Mr. Ryers say beside me.

"Well this should be interesting." Oh s**t.
