My Boss's obsession

Ms. Kenner

After two weeks

The day has finally arrived for the ice queen to come home. It was a day which everyone was waiting so eagerly including me. I really wanted to see her with my own eyes. I've heard so much from her cousin and best friend Beatrice but it only created more curiosity in me. I've even went through her personal photo album and to say the truth, the ice queen is a beauty. She has a very beautiful intoxicating smile on her face, it was so alluring but with time it faded until there was no smile on her face anymore. Her appearance became stiff, serious and cold.

I had gone to the company several times and I've heard about him, Mark the General Manager. I tried all my best to see him even once but had no chance at all but today I got lucky as I came face to face with him.

" Good morning, young Master," I greeted him first considering he hasn't seen me yet.

" Good morning to.." he didn't even look at me when he greeted back but he seems like something got into him as he looked up at me. " ..you? what you doing here?" he asked a little confused.

" Oh, it's a pleasure meeting you again Sir. "

" I won't ask you again, what are you doing here? " Oh no he was losing his temper again with me.

" Don't act bossy around me, you're not my boss," I smile at him while he stared blankly at me. " One more thing, be used of my presence around here young Master," I said openly criticizing him.

" What do you mean by that," he asked.

" I'm the new employee ... and oh no am the new personal assistant to Ms. Angeline Kenner, and when I say personal I mean personal, got that" I blurted out and I shocked the hell out of him.

" What? no this is not true, just get the hell out of here. Security, security.." he even dares call security on me and they came running like idiots.

" Sir we are sorry but we can't touch her, the Boss introduced her as our new boss too." these words stuck him more painfully than a needle being pressed hard in a wound.

" What do you mean?"

" Boss William said so the other day when you weren't here Sir," they explained and I just smiled in mockery.

" How does it feel seeing me in your world young Master," I still continued tormenting him.

" You're welcome miss..." he invited me absent mindedly.

".. Shepherd Sir," I completed his sentence but he left in a hurry. " Thank you Sir," I sarcastically laughed it off. I watched his figure disappear out of my sight. I was here to do the last touch in her office and left only when it's look pleased me. I checked my wrist watch and realized it was time to head to the airport, her flight will land any time from now. The airport wasn't far away. It was less than a ten minutes drive. I was the one to pick her up since the other drivers weren't available and even if they were, Sir William wanted me to be the one to pick her up and I had no other options than obey.

I hadn't parked the car well when my phone started buzzing in my pocket. I quickly took it only to see her name displayed on the screen. I nervously parked the car, grabbed the flowers which were already well sorted and left running towards the entrance. And there she was, standing still, elegantly and breath taking. She was like a beauty who had just landed safely from another planet but there was something wrong with her appearance. A solid face, cold with no smile. Her mere presence commanded power. The look on her face said it clearly that I messed up big time. Her gaze was stern, tearing me up every minute that passed. Her gaze moved down to my feet, then up slowly analyzing me and then our eyes met. I didn't look away neither did she. I felt like she could see through me, and into my soul. I felt a cold chill ran down and settled in my stomach and felt a need to use a washroom but I couldn't dare to move or say a word. The staring game seemed to take like forever. Holding the beautiful bouquet of flowers seemed like someone who came to fetch her long lost lover and to say the truth her beauty was captivating, intoxicating and addicting. After a while she brought me back from my imagination by clearing her throat.

" You're late," she flatly said.

" I'm sorry Ma'am the traffic was tight. I'm really sorry it won't happen again," I pleaded.

" You better be, I hate unpunctuality."

" Understood Ma'am... here this is yours," I said giving her the flowers and taking her suitcase from her hands. " They're beautiful just like you, aren't they?" I complimented trying to start a conversation but only gave me a stern look and started walking away. I followed her to the parking lot and from there she had to stand and let me take the lead. She tried to open the door but I stopped her.

" Wait Boss, I got this," I said as I opened the door for her and again she stared at me before she went in. Her gazes seems strange to me like I was facing someone different from the one I've learned from his dad and cousin. I sat in the car quietly and started the engine ready to go when she said something really strange.

" Can you stop calling Ma'am or Bossing me everytime in everything," this sounded more of an order than a request.

" But..." she cut me mid-sentence.

"...no buts. Does it feel alright with you, Ma'am this...Boss that. It's annoying." she irritably said.

" Okay but does Angeline sound more informal ," I countered.

" You'll be with me most of the time and I don't like being reminded of who I am every minute of my life."

" Okay I'm sorry, I didn't mean to anger you." she stared at me on the front mirror but i pretended to have my eyes locked on the road.

" You like apologizing that much huh."

" No I was just recollecting my mistake," I gripped on the steering wheel more than intended hoping to get home soon. I was facing a different person and the more she talked the more strange it seemed to be. I kept staring at her at the front mirror and believe me I saw her smiling.

" You're much more beautiful when smiling," I couldn't hold it anymore and this got her off guard. She again stared at me without saying a word. I wondered what was going on, on that head of hers. I could tell she was in deep thoughts but won't say anything. I got this as a warning and I sealed my mouth shut but not for long. " You know Angeline when you hear East Africa named anywhere, the country that comes into everyone's mind is Kenya. Our country is the most convenient place for tourists. Starting from the daring Gen z's who would do anything to get their point home, to stories that will keep you happy as you listen to and don't forget of the historical sites..." I paused after realizing she wasn't saying anything only to see her asleep. "..oh was my story boring or was my voice so sweet to make you sleep so peacefully." I looked at her again and wondered how she could trust me that much to even sleep off and let me drive her home.

" Ms. Kenner, Ms. Kenner," I tried to politely wake her up but I would say it was a task to wake her up. I stood and left the driver's seat and went all around to open the passenger's door and tried to wake her again. I patted on her shoulder gently afraid not to hurt her. After a while she opened her eyes and faced me making our faces inches away from each other. I could feel her warm breath on my face. I could stare at her all day, she was so pretty.

" Ms Kenner again, where did you get that from," she raised her eyebrows to tease me. She didn't even dare move her face from me.

" Uh..I thought it was much better than calling you Angeline before other workers," I replied.

" What are you afraid off, Faith?" This was the first time she mentioned my name and omg it sounded so good coming out of her.

" Nothing I'm just being cautious.."

" .. cautious for what.. what's in your mind, what are you thinking my dearest," she continued teasing me as she adjusted my cap.

" Can you stop teasing me already."

" Why? you are so beautiful and with this proximity," she said pointing at me then herself, " I can't help it. Are you in a relationship?" she asked out of nowhere.

" What?" the question brought me back to reality. " Can we go in since now you're awake," I quickly changed the topic only for her to shake it off.

" Sure, lead the way."
