1741 Words
~~ "Miss Cheryl Tyler!" The receptionist looked at my placement letter then towards her laptop and then looked up at me. Her dark lips moving up in a practiced natural smile. "Please take a seat while I go through the other procedures. I'll inform Mr. Black of your arrival. " After thanking her I decided to sit for a while. My legs were already hurting from all the running , chasing and catching the bus. yes, because someone cannot stay away from her prince charming dreams.. Removing the invisible wrinkles from my black pencil skirt I took my place in nearby waiting visitor's sofa. Placing the files and my handbag in my lap I decided to make myself more presentable starting from my plain peach colored shirt which was wrinkled by now. At least I am not sweating. My black hairs were still tightly packed in the bun I managed to put in place with the help of bobby pins. Not a single strand was out of its place. Just the way I instructed my hair bun in the mirror before leaving from apartment. 'If single of your strand got out this bun, I won't wash you until one week is over. So behave!' Even my hairs are afraid of me. I rolled my eyes at my thoughts and patted my hairs back. I almost looked like a professional secretary in service. Remember to act calm, collected and obedient Cheryl. You are on mission!! Yes. A drop of cold sweat slide between my hairs and I shivered feeling the tickle on my skin. Ahhh!! s**t s**t-- stop irritating me.. Suddenly a strong sense of ripping my bun off my head hit me hard. I was definately sweating inside my hairs. Bad hair. Bad bad hair. Stupid! No no, not bad, stupid hair. It was actually itching now. I won't wash you ever. I needed to impress my future Boss to accomplish my goal, but with this condition I needed something else to make a easy entry in this company. Confidence.I need confidence. Fake or real doesn't matter. Atleast, I'm not struggling with hair lice. A chain of unnecessary random thoughts starting running inside my head. Starting from those advertisements of how to remove hair lices. 'Head lice are back! Please check your child's head tonight.' 'How head lice spread on babies- Overnight camps Sleepover Preschool' Dandruff! Lots of snowflakes falling on your head. "Miss Cheryl Tyler?" The receptionist called me. "Hair lice" I suddenly spoke not before realising I had spoken it aloud. The receptionist blinked "sorry Miss Tyler" Then I noticed my fingers unconsciously tightening around my stuffs resting above my lap. And lots of cold sweat itching and tickling between my scalp. I stood up from my seat ,ignoring the drops of sweats making their road between my scalp. Plastering a polite smile on my face I made my way towards her. "What were you saying Ma'am?" I asked. "Here's your job confirmation letter. You can start working from today." She handed me a white envelope and waved behind me. A girl wearing long bussiness suit popped from behind me. They both greeted eachother before focusing their eyes on me. "Please follow Miss Linda Smith. She will show you your office and then you can meet Mr. Black and start working." Mumbling a small thankyou with a polite smile I followed behind Linda Smith. I looked around the office noticing the small details. I was sent here in a mission, for work. I am Cheryl Tyler, disguised Secretary of Eugene Black. And this work will give me enough money to escape the county after I fool the CEO. A small smirk formed on my red lips remembering the perks of doing job with a gangster Boss. Flashback: - 2 Days Ago, Place: North 8 ,Alley I waited for the car to pick me up and take me some unknown place. I was well protected from outside to inside loaded with weapons I don't ever forget to take with me. As a woman in this illegal stuff it is more scarier than a man to live a peaceful safe life. I usually made deal with dangerous peoples in small gangs or something, no not killing or murdering but one wrong touch on my flesh I cut their fingers including some other personal bodily parts. From young age I was trained mercilessly to survive dangerous situations. Until one day, I was forced to runaway to save my life. I kept running until I collided with two dealers. Jenna Fort, and her boyfriend Jeremy Shawn or Jem. Together we worked on sharpening my skills of stealing. After 10 minutes a van suddenly opened in front of me pulling me inside. I was about to fight when they spoke "Don't move, we are here to fetch you to Our g**g leader Dark Spider" I nodded and they and they covered my eyes with a black thick cloth around half of my face to prevent me from knowing their hiding place. But are they more smarter than a tracker inside your hairs! Jem was already on his computer keeping track of the tracker to ensure my safety. I felt myself moving and after sometime the cloth were removed from my face and I was harshly pushed outside a dark room. It was like the same type of stinky places I usually encounters. "Welcome to my territory Brenda!" A thick voice called from behind me. I turned around to face him but could not see anything. The room was dark hiding the mysterious man completely. "And you-?" I asked already bored. "Dark Spider. Have some Martini darling, my favourite, as a warm welcome from me?" . I tried to look inside or enter but the big goons outside the room stopped me before that. "Let's get back to business. What I need to do for you ?" I said in my professional tone to indicate no wasting of time and crossed my hands across my chest ,to show no weakness. Who wants to drink with some old g**g leader in middle of stinking dark room? "Beautiful. Brave. Stubborn. Totally my type of woman. Its fun to break your hearts. The work is easy darling. Just don't fall in love because the man you will work for is good looking." I scoffed. " And about the real talk, money, it is beyond your expectations. Just dont FAIL or I'll have no choice but to discard you." "You should better know about me before hiring me to do your dirty job." I rolled my eyes at him "I don't risk my life just for some measly things like money which I can steal with no problem. Job description first than we finalize the cost." "Smart words darling. And in this job you will definitely need them. Hear me carefully now girl" he started, his voice losing his previous playfulness. "I want you to steal something from the CEO of Black enterprise. That arrogant bastard is like a stinking stone in my path. He has my precious thing I want back and his private information's. " "And how would I do that? Jumping in his bed?" "Relax Brenda. Everything is already planned. In a week there is a interview to hire a personal Secretary for him. Who is going to appointed directly by his grandfather the chairman of Black enterprise Maxwell Black. A obnoxious clever old man. But he has a one little weakness, his desperation to marry off his grandson as soon as possible and his stupid plan by appointing him a beautiful young lady." My eyes widened. " You wants me to marry his grandson in order to steal your thing. Huh!" "Don't jump into conclusions woman. My men will appoint directly you to him and you need to grab the job of Eugene Black's personal secretary. You will be guided everytime to where start your stealing job in his office in order to get what is mine. And what you actually need to steal will be told to you in right time." "Other details will be spared you by my men later" *** I easily got here because someone appointed me to interview Maxwell Black. And he happily approved me after interviewing me personally. And thankfully he was satisfied. I was about to enter the lift behind Linda when my eyes met with one of the Dark Spider's man. He's going to help me. How? He looked at me then passed by me without saying anything. "This is your office from now on Miss Tyler." Linda smiled at me ,opening the door of small office which was near CEO's office. "Thankyou." She noded smiling. "I should inform Mr. Black about your arrival. You could wait here." She excused herself leaving me to now my new office room. The office is quite nice. With one table above it was a laptop and everything I would need. A swing chair. In corner standing a vase above a drawer without flowers or anything inside it. The room was painted white, matching with white curtains. My tour was cut short when my head started itching again. The sweat making it more difficult for me to let my hair tied. Ahh!! I will kill and pull you out of your roots to teach you a good lesson. Not wanted to take more t*****e, I put down my purse and files above the table. Pulling out the band from my dark hair, I made it fall freely on my shoulders. Shaking my head a little I turned around. That's when everything stopped including my thoughts to impress my boss. A familiar pair of sparkling forest green eyes were staring at me widely. Linda appeared from behind him and gestured the handsome tall unmoving man standing beside her. "Miss Cheryl, this is our CEO Mr. Eugene Black and you'll be working with him as his personal secretary." This man.. I tried opening my mouth to say something but closed it soon. This man is 'Eugene Kyle Black'? "Miss Cheryl Tyler?" Linda's voice pulled my attention and I quickly composed myself. Standing straight I plastered a small smile on my face. He knows my true nature. He knows I am not innocent, damsel in distress. "Good morning Professionally I extended my right hand for him to shake and greet., I'm Cheryl Tyler. Your personal Secretary. " F!ck off acting obedient. __
