He didn't bat an eyelid.
He nodded and asked me to have a seat.
"Your resume looks good, your former employer gave you a good recommendation so I believe it is as he says", he said.
"Y..yes sir", I said.
The last time we spoke,I was say yes daddy.
Fuck my life is ruined.
"That's your office", he said pointing to a small transparent room right inside his office.
It had a table and a chair and enough space I guess.
That was the last thing he said before going back to whatever it was he was doing.
I turned and looked at Miriam. I think we both understood that, he was done talking.
I stood up and we both went into my office.
"If you need anything you know where to find me", she said.
"I have no idea what I'm supposed to do", I said.
"Oh just read the manual, it has every information you need, later at lunch I'll show you around, I have to get to work, have a good first day love", she said and left me there.
The manual was on my table. I turned to Mr Greenwood who I just f****d recently. He didn't even look at me one second. I'm guessing he doesn't remember me, I hope and pray he doesn't because I might ruin my entire life if he does. This work is just perfect for me, the pay is hugeeeee, it's the perfect distraction from whatever happened in LA, I need this, I just hope I don't mess it up, I really hope.

Mr Greenwood was calm, too calm and very mysterious. I've been watching him work all day. He barely says a sentence to anyone, it's like he talks with his eyes and hands.
He shows them what to do with his hands and when they ask any question he gives them a long stare and they understand immediately.
I know this is wrong but I mean will you blame me?
"Michelle".
I heard my name right? I mean he called me right?
He then turned to me and gave me one of those looks. Wait he actually called me, oh damn.
I got out of my office.
"Sir?"
"I'll be closing, send these documents to the accountants office and tell her to send the breakdown of the budget to my email and lock up when you're leaving ".
I nodded nervously.
Then he handed me a small napkin, "You have very sweaty hands ", he said and then stood up and left.
I was standing there turning tomato red. Damn my sweaty hands!
Great, second impression I give my one night stand new boss is that I'm that girl with sweaty hands
I sighed and then took the documents he asked to the accountants office and passed the information. By the time I was done it was already 4 pm.; Closing time.
I went back to Miriam's office.
"Hi there, how was your first day?", she asked nicely as usual.
"It was actually okay ", I said.
She and Veronica shot me this awkward look.
Veronica was her assistant.
"What do you mean okay?", she asked
"Everything was fine honestly, Mr Greenwood is calm and Okay", I said again.
"I'll be damned ", Veronica said shocked.
"And I already prepared a long speech on resilience for you ", Miriam mumbled.
"You both sound like there's a problem ", I said.
Veronica pulled me a chair.
"Have a seat", she said, and I did.
"Mr Greenwood is never...calm or okay. He's never had a personal assistant that lasted more than a week because none of them could handle him. He's a bit arrogant and more of a control freak", Veronica started.
"I mean don't get her wrong, it's his arrogance and control freak characters that pulls this place together and make everybody work on their toes. But then he's a bit too extra. He says things, very very terrible things to people that will break you. I'm surprised you said he's calm... and okay", Miriam said
"Oh..", was all I could say.
"He was... quite the opposite of everything you just said", I added.
"Probably caught him in a good mood", Miriam said.
Or he remembers that I'm his one night stand, oh f*****g hell.
Why? why in goodness name is my boss the man I decide to f**k why?
He's going to see me as an absolute w***e, like I just sleep with random men.
I even asked him to f**k me oh Lord
"I pray you always catch him that way everyday, no wonder work was so quiet today, was wondering what was wrong?", Veronica said.
"And he even came to work unusually early today, something is definitely up", Miriam added.
"Well let's hope you keep this job", oh I will keep this job, trust me, I need it to survive.
"Anyways, this is everything you need to know about this job and this office and work place, it's more like a manual... the second one, the one in your office is for being his PA and this one is for the general office also it teaches you everything about your job. You can use the rest of today to go through it all. Mr Greenwood hates mistakes, he's a lover of perfection.", Miriam said handing me this very huge book.
"Thank you Mrs. Miriam", I said.
"Oh please, call me Miriam", she said cheerfully.
"We'll see you tomorrow then", she said
"Yes"
"Well that's a first", Veronica mumbled.
I waved them good bye and left her office.
I headed to the elevator and headed downstairs.
This place was something, the designers knew what they were doing when they made it this perfect. Like I said earlier, this place reeked of wealth.
I have to keep this job and I dare not mess things up.
if he ever mentions what happened between us that night, I'll just have to tell him it was an accident and I was drunk and going through a lot, he'll understand, he'll have to understand.
Because there is no way I'm going to let my boss think I'm a w***e. No.
