CHAPTER 3

1166 Words
Ann’s Pov Gosh, how is he finally here in front of me? this is the universe saying something right? “Hello!!, Miss Paige!!” and that snapped me out of my trance. ‘‘Yes sir’’ ‘‘I asked you to properly introduce yourself’’ “Oh okay, I’m Ann Paige, I graduated from Stanford University…”. “Give me your file, the details you are giving are unnecessary” Damian interrupted me. I handed my file over to him and swallowed the anger that was building up within me. He is so arrogant I thought to myself, does he not recognize me? Or is he pretending not to? I just felt like sending a slap across his face. While all these thoughts were going on in my head, I sat comfortably while looking straight at him. It seemed as though he felt my gaze. After scanning through my file he looked up with his eyebrows twitched together. “And what is with the glare Miss Paige?” he asked out of the blue “Is there something that you would like to say?” he inquired but this time around his lips were up in a smirk. What is up with this man? I thought but quickly composed myself after which I cleared my throat. “I do not have anything to say to you for now” “Do you think you are qualified to be my P.A.? Because you do not look like you can handle the pressure that comes with it”. Now this was becoming annoying, how can he ask that? He is judging me by my looks. I silently took a deep breath and paused for about 15 seconds before replying. “Mr Martinez I will do well as your P. A” “You have the job then, report to my office by 7 am. Do not be a minute late, I do not condone tardiness. Meanwhile, Mr Clinton would brief you on your job and most importantly how not to get F-I-R-E-D!!!” he made sure to stretch the last word. What does he mean by the stretch, I pounded immediately. Judging by the cold behaviour of this man seated in front of me I didn’t want to stay in the same space with him for even an extra minute, so I stood up, made a little adjustment to my shirt, and hurriedly left his office. Just when I closed the door I met a handsome-looking man neatly dressed in a navy blue suit. He tilted his head a bit towards the right and gave a beautiful smile. “Hello, Good morning” he greeted me politely. “Good morning to you Mr..” I smiled “Mr Clinton, I believe you are Miss Paige” “Yes you are correct, Mr. Martinez instructed that I meet with you for a briefing on my job” ‘Ladies first” he pointed forward indicating that I take the lead in the walk. “Oh no, please lead the way” He gave a positive smile and began to walk towards an office while I followed behind. “This would be your office,” he indicated pointing towards a nice office, it had white paint with a little touch of grey, and the furniture, table, and seat including the computer all had a grey colour. It was a definition of classy and modern. I smiled as I looked around the office. “This is the 29th floor and it only contains your office and that of Mr Martinez. Look over there” he pointed toward an open space outside my office, “That is where every printed copy you would need is done, lets go forward” we walked forward towards a coffee machine. “This is where you would brew all of Mr Martinez's coffee. He likes to have coffee as the first thing he does before working in the morning. Now this is the trick, he comes into the office at exactly 7 am so you need to be here at least 10 minutes before he arrives so you can serve him his coffee.” “He has a very cold personality so whenever he acts coldly towards you do not take it to heart. Be as organized and hardworking as you can, he hates it when his employees are slacking. Also, the 30th floor happens to be his penthouse. He crashes there most of the time, especially when he has a big project at hand.” He exhaled after speaking at a stretch without pausing. “That should be all, Congratulations on getting hired. I hope you don’t get fired so soon like the others. Good luck” he smiled and worked off. I took a deep breath again to relax my nerves and assimilate all I had heard. I got into the elevator; made my way out of the company and went straight home to prepare for my big day. Finally, I got a job, and tomorrow is going to be my first day at work. The feeling is truly beautiful. “Ann!! Ann!!! Bianca screamed my name from the moment she got into the house. Come here babe and tell me all about your interview”. “ I researched the company and discovered that the CEO is a Greek god in mortal form”. What should I do with this crazy best friend of mine, I thought to myself. “I got the job, and just so you know he is a total scumbag, don’t mind his looks” I tried ending the conversation. Bianca smiled “No matter the level of a scumbag he is, I forgive him because of his looks” she continued. I mean what was I expecting from that crazy girl I bid her goodnight and went straight into my room. I set my alarm to wake me by 4:30 am knowing that it would take me a long time to prepare before leaving the house. I can’t afford to be late on my first day. At exactly 4:30 am, my alarm woke me. I quickly prepared breakfast, took my bath, and washed my hair. I took some time to dry my hair and properly brushed it. It was time to dress up so I went to my wardrobe to pick out a dress. After 15 minutes of contemplation, I settled for a tight black dress and a peach blazer to fit, I picked out a nude-coloured heel to compliment my dress. After putting on my outfit for my FIRST DAY AT WORK, I applied light makeup and packed my hair in a messy bun. I picked up my bag and walked to the door, and that was when Bianca came running to me with her phone in her hand and a mischievous look on her face. “Ann! Ann! I found something!!” she shouted, “What did you find this time clown?”
