The Billionaire's Choice

Chapter3

"What is your name?" Dave asked.

"My name is Sara,"Sara replied.

Dave told her to stand up as she said her name. She did according to what she was instructed and sat down.

"Stand up.. Your work as my personal assistant has started,"Dave said sternly.

"Get me a cup of coffee. With no sugar and no milk, the coffee must be as though milk was added to it. If it doesn't look like that, I will reject it." Dave said.

Sara wondered what an impossible task it was. She looked at him as if she hoped he would change it, but he didn't. Then she quietly left to accomplish the impossible task… After a few minutes, she returned with the coffee and handed it over to Dave. Dave looked at it and gave it back to her.

"You wasted a lot of time on this, so I can't drink it because I have lost the mood." Dave said as he typed on his laptop.

Sara wondered if there was a certain mood to have when having coffee. She was confused and tired at that point.

"Alright.. I'm hungry, and I won't be going out for lunch, and you'll be the one to get it as my assistant. "Dave said, glancing at her.

"Alright sir, there is no problem with that,"Sara replied.

Dave smiled, because Sara didn't know what was coming her way. He wasted some time on his laptop, then he finally spoke, making Sara stand for ages.

"I get my food from olive food. I'll transfer it to your account, so get going."

"Sir, the olive foods I know are very far from here. Unless it's another one,"Sara asked, as she was confused.

"That's the olive I am talking about. I've called them, they have packaged the meal and just go there to pick it up. "Dave said..

"Or don't you want to go?..if you don't want to go tell me so that I will fire you and employ another person. "Dave said, faking a serious look.

"I'll go Sir.. Let me be on my way. "Maria said as she left his office.

"Hold on." Dave said as he made her stop.

"You have fifteen minutes to get back to this office. If it is, I won't eat it." Dave said.

"But you know it takes up to thirty-five minutes to get to the company because that place is very far."

"If you still want to go, let me know." Dave said, trying to remind her of the outcome of not going with his appearance.

"I wil go."Sara said

"Alright, get going because your time starts now,"Dave instructed.

After a few minutes, Sara was back drenched in sweat. She was very tired and felt like fainting. When Dave saw her he was very happy that the payback was actually working.

"I gave you fifteen minutes to be back, and you came back, "Dave said as he paused to check his wristwatch.

"Okay you are a minute late," he said.

"Should I take this or reject it? "he said aloud.

Sara prayed he accepted it because she really stressed herself about getting the package. She closed her eyes waiting to hear his response.

"Alright.. You can have it, I'm not hungry." Dave said as he continued typing on his laptop.

Sara felt like giving him a slap but held herself. She stared at the food, murmured a thank you and left..

"After all this stress he didn't eat the food?" Sara said, feeling disappointed.

Sara looked at the food, opened it, and she was excited by the aroma and couldn't wait to eat it. As she was about to take a spoonful of it, she got a call from Dave. Sara wanted to scream but held herself like she was in a public place..

"He gave me the food and still doesn't want me to eat it.I feel he is doing all this on purpose," Sara said as she approached his office.

"Sir please, I know you are doing all this to punish me for what I did to you.I am sorry. I have begged you a thousand times," Sara pleaded.

Dave noticed he was being hard on her, and he decided to be less strict with her.

"Alright, I have forgiven you." Dave said, glaring at her.

"Thank you, Sir." Sara said, as she was happy with his response.

"You are welcome. Look at that shelf." Dave said, pointing in the direction.

Sara turned to look, and she saw a shelf filled with dust and old books. She prayed it was not what she was thinking.

"Okay, I want you to clean them up and arrange them properly. I'll be going out for a meeting. Please make sure you are done with it before I arrive." Dave said.

Dave stepped out and Sara stood there in shock as she couldn't believe what he said. She looked at the shelf and wondered where she would start because it was looking dirty, messy and bulky.

"But I just apologize...I will just give him a resounding sap at that." Sara said as she demonstrated how she would slap Dave.

As she continued demonstrating, the door suddenly opened and Dave stepped on him. She stopped immediately trying to compose herself. Dave took his laptop, gave her a sarcastic look and left.

Sara couldn't believe she had just embarrassed herself in front of Dave. She looked at the shelf and started cleaning. When she was done, she started sneezing. She sneezed throughout the rest of the day. Dave felt guilty as he was the reason she was passing through it, and he decided to stop tormenting her.

"I noticed you have been sneezing since today. What's the problem?" Maria asked.

Sara told Maria about all her ordeals today and the dusty shelf she was asked to clean that made her sneeze since. Maria was aware of all this, but she pretended to do so and told her Dave was a nice person.

In that, with time, she would get to know him.
