Mysterious ceo

Maya was busy tending to her son, Clinton, when her phone rang. She rushed to grab it from where she had left it. Seeing that the caller's number was unknown, she hesitated for a moment before she answered the call. "Hello?" she said hesitantly. "Congratulations! Maya Smith, you passed the interview, you can check your mail to see the details" The CEO's personal assistant said and hung up the call. Maya's heart skipped a beat at the news. She had been waiting anxiously to hear back about the job interview she had last week. Now, not only had she landed the job, but she also received a call from the CEO's personal assistant herself. She quickly put down the phone and hugged her son, Clinton, feeling a sense of hope and relief wash over her. She checked her mail and she saw that she was to resume the next Monday. **** The next Monday, she started work as an accountant. "Welcome to LF company, one of the top companies in the country" Emmanuel, The CEO's personal assistant said. "Thank you very much, I am glad to work here and I promised to put in my effort" "I look forward to that, and that reminds me the CEO traveled, so by next week he would be here, and I am sure he would like you" "I hope so too" Emmanuel left, Maya settled down. Maya continued to work enthusiastically for it was her first job, so she put in her best to the job, to avoid being sacked Day after day, she arrived early, stayed late, and tackled every task with enthusiasm and precision. She made sure the calculation of the company is going smoothly, that really impressed Emmanuel, to Emmanuel she's the best accountant they have ever hired. "Maya, your work has been phenomenal," Emmanuel said, giving her a warm smile. "The CEO will be very pleased to see how much you've accomplished in such a short time." Maya felt a wave of pride at his words. "Thank you, Emmanuel. I just want to do my best for the company." *Weeks After* Maya was at the office when Emmanuel knocked on the door. "Come in" Maya said, lifting her head up. "How are you doing, Miss Maya?" Emmanuel asked. "I am fine, what about you?" "Fine as well, how's work going?" "Obviously fine" "Anyways I want to tell you that the CEO is around and he would like to see you "Oh! Good, how should I address him?" "Mr. Jonathan Anderson" "What? Hmm" She thought about the name, the guy she once had a one night stand with. Maya's heart dropped. The name echoed in her mind like a distant memory, but she couldn't deny the connection. She took a moment to compose herself before responding. "Thank you Emmanuel, I'll go there now" Maya said and they both left the office. As she walk towards his office, her heart was pounding As Maya approached the CEO's office, her palms began to sweat. The anticipation was overwhelming. She reminded herself that she was here as an accountant, not as someone from his past. But try as she might, she couldn't shake the feeling of dread in her stomach. She knocked the door and she heard a deep voice; "Come in" Maya bravely went in. "Good Day Sir, I am Maya Smith, the accountant of this prestigious company" "Alright, I am Jonathan Anderson" He paused and continued, "I have heard a lot about you from my P.A, and I am glad to hear that, I hope to confirm what I have heard from him. “Thank you, Mr. Anderson, it's my pleasure to be sure, I am honor to work here and I also look forward to contributing to the success of the company” “That's great, you are welcome here, feel free to bring an idea that you think would develop or that would bring success to the company more” “Yes, thank you very much” She said and left. “This is the guy I had a one night stand with, huh? He's the one, I am sure” She said while walking to her room. Back in her office, Maya couldn't help but replay the encounter with Anderson over and over in her mind. Was it just a coincidence that the man she had a one night stand with years ago was now her boss? Or was there something more at play? “Or should I let him know that we have met before? Probably he could recognize me in one way or the other Instead of keeping it away from him?” “But if I should let him know, what if he reacts somehow? Like he might think I am lying that I just want him to father a child he doesn't give birth to?” Maya bit her lips, “I don't even know if to tell him or keep it as a secret, he looks nice and he doesn't seem like someone who would bite” "I can't let this distract me," she told herself, turning her attention back to the work on her desk. **** Weeks later, Maya was inside her office, when she heard a door knock. “Come in” She said, lifting her head up from the system. “Good Morning, Mr. Anderson” She stood up to welcome him and smiled. “Good Morning, you can have your seat” Jonathan replied, he moved closer to her, and sat opposite her. “Thank you” She replied and sat down. “Before working here, did you have any experience? Like, have you worked somewhere and for how many years?” Jonathan asked “No, I haven't worked anywhere, in fact this is my first work, but I studied accounting in school, and Mr. Emmanuel showed me somethings and guided me on my first day” “Whoa! You learn too fast and you know too much, I am kind of surprised, well, I shouldn't be because my P.A had told me before I came here” “Ooh! That's a compliment I appreciate you” “Well, Miss Maya, your face looks familiar” “My face? Huh!”
