I'M JUST IN LOVE

Chapter four. The cleaner

"Sir you called for me" Mr Charles who had rushed when he got a message that his boss demands to see him, stood in front of Alex as he bows.

"get me a job" Alex said calmly.

"Sir". Mr. Charles was thrown aback upon hearing him.

"At my company, as a cleaner" Alex said nonchalantly.

"Sir, can you recall what you just said now", Charles was still confused as hell, that he didn't even believe his ears.

"of course, you should know what am talking about, why acting clueless" Alex said as he gets up to get a cup of coffee.

Mr Charles who was still in the dark, couldn't help but think why his boss, would like to work as a cleaner in his own company. someone like him who live in riches, has many branches of business that he can't even calculate the amount of surplus money he could be earning a day, has that mind set to think of working as a cleaner.

after some deep thinking, Mr Charles suddenly figured out the reason." ohhh, I knew you'd be more than interested in that lady you met at the hospital " he said as he smiles.

" tha.....tha.....that like. I mean. okay fine, I'll admit it" but I just need you to find me a cheap old apartment that is near the company. I'll start the cleaning job next week. he said as he went inside his room.

"of course sir, consider it done" Charles said to himself self and left but couldn't stop shinning his teeth.

At the summit corporation, news spread like wildfire. every one already heard that someone powerful and a big shot is visiting the company today. people around couldn't help but wander if it's the unknown Mafia boss who is the owner of summit corporation wants to show himself.

" I can't believe that the company is on fire today" Robby said as he noticed everyone in different departments at summit corporation busy doing one or two things just to welcome one unknown person.

" could it be that the owner of summit corporation wants to visit. I mean, take a good look at this whole place. every body seemed swamped" Sophia added

even the General head of the financial and funds department who does nothing but is known as a lazy ass, suddenly became busy today. Cynthia a co member of the team whispered, as her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Guys what am I hearing recently about someone big coming today. the whole walls is on fire" julliana who was at Mrs Genevieve office reviewing a document with her spoke up the moment she came out from the office.

"team leader j", you must have heard the news just now". Robby said as he keeps grinning his teeth.

"ohh that reminds me, I heard that Mr Andrew is here at the company"

"Jullie, ain't no way, I mean it not possible" Sophia said upon hearing julliana's words.

"that's true, i heard same too" Cynthia said in agreement while the others, was utterly dumb founded that they couldn't figure out but to think if the person coming is the real boss of the summit corporation.

"anyway see you guys around", julliana said as she went into the office to continue her work.

Mr Andrew that julliana mentioned, is the main General director of the summit corporation. apparently, he has being controlling the company and others that is located in different branches. normally, he usually don't come to the company or office except if their is any board meeting with the board members.

but his appearance today, proved that someone who is coming is more than powerful. since it Mr.charlse is the one who is arriving, imagine if it the main boss that is the one making his appearance. I'm pretty sure that all the board members including me Andrew would tremble at their feet on seeing him.

the board members has seen their main boss once but after that they never saw him again except for me Charles who is his right hand man that passes message to them if needed.

The news of Mr. Charles' arrival sent shockwaves through the Summit Corporation. Employees scratched their heads, wondering what could be the reason for his visit. Mr. Andrew, the General Director of Summit Corporation, who is always a no-show at the office, only appearing for board meetings. Yet, here he was, standing in front of the building with the board members, all dressed in their Sunday best.

The staff bustled about, trying to get everything perfect for Mr. Charles' arrival. The conference room was polished until it shone, and the staff lined up, eager to catch a glimpse of the big boss.

As the limousine pulled up, the board members straightened their ties, and Mr. Andrew stepped forward, a broad smile plastered on his face. "Welcome, Mr. Charles! We're honored to have you here today."

Mr. Charles emerged from the car, his eyes scanning the assembled staff. "Thank you, Andrew. I'm glad to be here. I trust everything is running smoothly?"

"Yes, sir," Mr. Andrew replied, "We've got everything under control."

As Mr Charles made his way to the private VIP office, all other staff and board members heeved a sigh of relief as their feet trembled on seeing Mr Charles.

what would you like to drink" Andrew asked dearly.

a cup of coffee will do" Charles replied.

minutes later, Andrew brought a cup of coffee and gently served him with deep respect. he then hesitated and sat down to ask what his visit was all about.

" so Mr Charles, what has brought you here so uncertain. Mr.Andrew said shakingly, as he tried to pull himself together. though fear gripped him that he kept on thinking what he did wrong or were he made a mistakes.

he can't just afford to offend someone like mr Charles. Afterall, this was his first time In six years visiting the company specifically for something important.

"Andrew, I came here because I want you to employ a cleaner at the marketing department". mr. Charles said calmly.

the moment Mr Andrew heard his purpose of coming, he felt like a weight of burden and death trap lifted away from him that his unrest mind was calm immediately.

"so, when does he start and what can I do more for this". Mr Andrew said gently.

"Nothing much just fill him up while he start working immediately". he will be working at this place starting from Monday". Mr Charles said as his face straight and tone was firm

Mr Andrew wandered what kind of person who needs a low level job like the cleaner job would make mr Charles of all people, the king of the underworld that is based in Mafia world, coming here only to specifically ask for a job.

even though he can make calls for that, but coming to the office to talk about a cleaning job was something off.

any way I'm off, mr Charles said as he gets up from his sit. "and that reminds me, you should have someone introduce him to that department, not you". "I repeat, not you". he said in command.

"Alright, let me walk you out". Andrew said as he came closer to open the door for him.

"no need, I'll go by my self".

Mr Andrew, didn't dare to ask him who he was. it is expected of him to follow orders as commanded. but what Andrew didn't understand was that, upon all the working positions that is suitable than cleaner job for the unknown person, he still choose the cleaning job.

" I mean he could get a better job position for the unknown person that the cleaning job" he said to himself, as he racks his brain but still couldn't figure nothing, out.
