“You’ll have to fix my appointments, book my flights, prepare everything necessary for the trip, make my coffee, remind me of important events as well as other necessary things” Ethan instructed while glancing through some files.
“Get me those files” He pointed to some documents.
“What is the matter?” He asked as she stood there, startled. “You don’t want the job?” He questioned.
“No sir, I am just surprised. I haven’t even applied and you are giving me the job already?” She explained.
“Oh, that!” He smiled. “Fred does not lie. He recommended you to me and whatever Fred says is what I follow”
“Okay, thank you sir”.
“Get me the file” He reminded her again.
“Okay sir” She smiled to the shelf, maybe he is not as difficult as she thought, she wondered. She took the file and rushed to him.
“Thank you” His lips curved into a smile. Then she noticed his facial features; his sharp jaw lines, neatly carved brows, ocean blue eyes and a pointed nose.
“Your office is next to mine. When I need you, I'll ring a bell. Also, Is that clear?” He gave a warming smile.
“Alright sir” She smiled too. Ethan picked up the telephone and placed a call. “I need you here” He ordered. “Sit” He offered her a chair.
“Thank you sir” She smiled but he only replied with a nod, concentrating on the files he was looking at. A middle aged man entered and bowed to Ethan.
“This is Gianna my new PA.” He introduced “Gianna, this is Evans, he is, something like my PA educator?”
“PA educator?” She wondered. She has never heard of a thing like that.
“He’ll brief you about everything you need to know" She looked at Evans and he smiled at her in response.
“You can leave now” He ordered.
Evans bowed again before leaving the office.
“Send a notification to all the department, there is going to be a meeting slated for..” He checked his wristwatch. “12 pm today. I'm going to introduce you to everyone” He added.
“Okay sir”.
“You may leave” He instructed. “And yes!”
“Is there anything I can do for you sir?” She questioned politely.
“Make a reservation for a table for two at Kester Restaurant. 7pm tomorrow. In my name of course” He focused on the files.
“A table for two?” She thought out loudly.
“Yes. A table of two. My woman and I” He looked at her.
“Oh!” She shook her head in affirmation before walking out gently. She settled into her office, small and beautiful. She smiled.
She picked up her phone and dialed Elizabeth’s number. On the third ring, Elizabeth picked up her phone.
“I'll call you later Annie, I'm busy as of now.” She hung up.
Gianna threw her phone to the table. She was so elated. Is this a dream? She thought. Really? He didn’t turn her down, he didn’t complain of her physique? Well, if it is a dream, she wasn’t willing to wake up.
She quickly picked up her phone and made the reservations, in his name as he had ordered. She unlocked the company’s computer system allocated to her office and checked the email.
“What!” She held her head. “205 messages! This is not good” She shook her head and began opening it, replying to it as needed.
“Can I come in?” Evans stood at the entry way of her office.
“Of course!” She smiled.
“Hi, I am Evans. Evans Carlton” He stretched his hand; for an handshake.
“I am Gianna Barlowe” She smiled and took the handshake.
“Welcome! To Asteroid Technologies” He smiled.
“Thanks” She giggled.
“So down to business” He smiled. He educated her on every necessary details she needed to know. She let out soft laughter occasionally. Evans smiled too. Just then, they heard a knock.
“What! The boss himself!” Evans stood up quickly.
“You can come in sir” Gianna answered.
“Of course, I can. It’s my company.” He frowned.
Do I smell arrogance here?
“I'm sorry sir” She pleaded.
“Get going. You are done with her, aren’t you?”
“Yes boss” He bowed.
