Married to Her Boss

CHAPTER TWO

Emilia was sitting on the couch that rests on the pillar of the balcony, she was relaxing after a whole day of job hunting.

She had to take a shower and watch some TV Programs.

Her phone began to ring. "Perfect timing!" She rolled her eyes and then looked at the screen, she had no idea who it was.

"Hello?" She answered, uncertainty evident in her voice.

"Hi, is this Emilia Clarkson?" An unfamiliar feminine voice asked

She hesitated to answer for a moment

"Y-yes, who is this?"

"I'm calling to inform you that you have been selected as the New personal assistant to the MD of DMD Software Company Limited"

Emilia with surprise and a slight excitement wondered how the stranger she met at the cafe offered her job without stress or delay

"There must be some sort of mistake, I didn't apply for that job."

"How come I get what I didn't apply for?" She asked in an inquisitive manner

She heard a grunt from the other end.

"Are you deaf or just plain dumb? I just said you were selected. A car will be at your bus stop to pick you up by 6 a.m sharp. Dress formal and professional.

"But-" Then the line went dead as Emilia struggled to interrupt the conversation.

She threw her phone on the bed, as she plopped herself down on it. She never imagined working at the DMD software company in her entire life, Not to talk of working as the P. A to the MD.

Mr. Drew must have meant every bit of what he said.

"Ugh, what am I even going to wear? I have nothing formal!" She groaned, smashing her face into a cushion.

She thought of where to find formal wear, an Idea popped up in her mind. She remembered that her neighbor worked as an Accountant in a Shopping Mall across the road.

She quickly dashed to her door and knocked.

"Sheesh, must you knock like a serial killer? Her neighbor asked out of annoyance

"Sorry about that Rose, I didn't mean to knock frantically. I need your help with something."

"Speak, what's that?"

"I got a job recently, and it requires that I wear formal wear on the first day. Could you please lend me some items?"

She sighed loudly. "Fine, I think I could help you out…but bring back my stuff, okay?"

She opened the door widely giving her space to enter.

"Take a seat and make yourself comfortable, while I go get them"

Her apartment was neatly furnished with feminine colors and artistic wallpapers mounted on two corners of the living room. She had nicer items than Emilia, though she had a job but Emilia had none.

"Okay, so I found three blouses, two skirts, and one pair of slacks that could probably fit in." Rose's voice boomed, bringing Emilia out of her thoughts.

She walked closely to where the rose was standing " This is matching and it looks appropriate.

"It is perfect, Thanks Rose for this, I truly appreciate you" She beamed, stretching her hand to grasp the clothing. Emilia was about to leave when Rose cleared her throat…

"Aren't you gonna wear the clothes here, to check if they fit?"

She gave her a sheepish look "You're right. Do you mind if I do it here?"

"My bedroom is over there, suit yourself"

After trying the outfits, she thanked Rose a hundred times before leaving for her apartment.

"Time is ticking fast"

"It's nine already, so if I sleep now, there's a possibility that I won't be able to wake up by 6 a.m." She mumbled to herself

She was excited to know what tomorrow would be for her. She didn't eat because she was full of excitement.

••••••••••••••••••

She woke up at exactly 5:30 a.m, Her morning preparations were fast-tracked because she forgot to set her Alarm clock at five. She was in a haste to meet the stipulated time to avoid disappointment.

She quickly packed up her granola bar in her purse and quickly sauntered down to the main entrance.

Standing behind a Black flashy car was a dark-skinned man clad in a black suit. She approached nearer to the spot.

"Good morning, you must be Miss. Emilia Clarkson." He stated with certainty in his tone.

She eyed him suspiciously. "Yes, Good morning, Are you my ride to DMD software company?"

"Well, no. It's the thing over there." He referred to the black car smoothly packed near them. "I'm Peter, and I will be driving you to wherever you may desire"

But now, we have to head to the DMD software company.

"Oh! I thought as much" Emilia said in concurring tone.

"Let's not waste time, Hop in let's ride"

Emilia entered the car, she had forgotten the last time she was treated like a queen maybe when she was still together with Duke.

Her nerves were in disarray. This was happening, she was going to work under very uncanny circumstances. She was so engulfed in her insecurities, that she didn't notice Peter driving into a formidably huge building.

Peter exited the car and came to her side, opened the car for her, and wished her good luck.

Gilding towards the glass building with a fanciful interior, she admired every bit of the designs. This was her first time in a DMD software company. She liked what she saw. She headed to the reception area

"Ma'am, Can I help you with your bags?"

An elegant-looking lady who seemed like the receptionist asked

"No, I'm fine with it, thank you" She must be a celebrity in this new workplace she thought.

"You're welcome ma"

"You're welcome ma" Chorused the cleaners

The Greetings made her get in front of the reception. A blond lady sat there, rocking very elegant-looking work attire, way better than the borrowed stuff she was wearing.

She must have noticed her presence because she looked up from the computer screen that her eyes were glued on. Her vibrant blue eyes met her, giving her a once-over condescending manner. She overly scrutinized her as If she wore a piece of rag.

"May I help you?". She asked not even trying to hide her annoyance with her

"Umm, yes, I'm Emilia Clarkson and I- "

"You're here for the job of the MD's P.A right?" She cut her off rudely.

Not waiting for her to answer…

"The boss is not yet in"

"I will show you where you will be working, you will wait till he arrives for your job description".

Few hours later…

They mounted the Elevator to the 31st Floor, Where Tatiana the receptionist showed her, her office. Tatiana turned and left. The boss had come around.

The Boss requested for Emilia's Presence.

She cleared her throat to make her presence known in the office.

"Ahem, Good morning sir, I'm Emilia Clarkson and I got a call-"

"I know who you are," boomed his deep and alluring voice.

Wait, didn't I know that voice? She reasoned

Her suspicions were confirmed when the mystery man swiveled around and greeted her with a menacing smirk. Then he stopped being the mystery man.

"What!?!"
