The bossy boss
1349 Words
I drove as fast as I could praying and hoping I didn't meet up with my boss by the time I got to work.
Few minutes later I got to work and with the atmosphere on ground it means only one thing, the boss is yet to arrive.
" Heyy Sharon" I said to the receptionist giving her warm smile which she reciprocated by smiling shyly.
" Good morning Mr Nelson" she said.
" Heyy umm, can you do me a favor.....you know by helping me with the sign in.....I wouldn't wanna be on the boss bad side" I said.
" Don't worry about it...... it's sorted" she said.
" Ohh...... that's very darling of you, thanks" I replied then tried to head off.
" What about what we talked about the other day?" She asked.
" Don't worry Love, I'll put it under consideration" I said then go ahead to my desk.
Yeah, that's Sharon she's been hitting on me every since she got here, I might be a Playboy but I know what I want and she's not in any way near that.
" Heyy, Frankie boy" one of my female colleague said.
" Laura baby, you're looking damn hot today" I said .
" Really?..... thanks" she said sitting on her desk.
" Don't worry baby....... you'll be mine soon" I said passing by.
" Don't even dream about it" I heard her saying.
" Heyyy man..... you're late" my colleague Damien said.
" Yeah......woke up late" I said.
" Lemme guess, midnight rump" he said.
" Something like that?" I said then sat down on my desk.
" You're lucky the boss also came late" he said.
" Yeah, I guess I should be called lucky" I said then we heard some rumbling among our colleagues.
" She's here...... everyone the boss is here" one of them said and everyone quickly stood up to their feet.
Then the elevator dings and there she is in all her beauty, she stood there looking magnificent like a queen.
" God, isn't she stunning?.....this is my ideal woman mhenn.....I want this woman badly, she's just too perfect" I said.
" You realise that's our boss you're talking about?" Andrew said.
" Of course I know that" I said staring at her.
" You also know that she's engaged right?, And she does know about all your......you know what I mean" he said.
" Yeah I know......one of the reason I didn't even try to make any move, damn, see that shape men" I said.

" The only reason I bought this building was because it has a private elevator" The boss said as she entered.
" That way, I don't have to get soaked in cheap cologne every morning, getting to my office, find out who use it, have them reprimanded, or bathed, I don't care which ......"
" Here's your latte, Hot" her secretary said handling her her coffee.
" Ugh.....that will be new and different" the boss said they went to her office and everyone sat down.
Author's POV
" I have a meeting with the board members today at lunch, so cancel lunch with my fiancee" Bella said to her secretary as they went to her office.
" Got it" secretary said.
" Also, I've emailed a list, prepare termination letters for the employees as noted. I realise that there are quite a few"
" But it will be so nice if you handwrote them, use the lesser card stock".
" You're downsizing the workers?" Secretary asked surprised.
" Why?......is there a problem?"
" No ma'am, but that was your first acquisition" secretary said.
" Go see if the layout for the project is ready" she said.
" It's not that I don't see your frown, it's just that I don't care enough to ask why it's there" she added.
" All those people they are going to lose their jobs...... what's going to happen to them, to their families?......they dont have to downsize at the company" Secretary said.
" Why would I care about that?...... they are to be blamed for their incompetence, this company get to this stage by hard-working" she said.
" But t......"
" You're my secretary Stella, and you'll do as I said........ you're lucky I like you if not you know what will happen" she said.
" Sorry ma'am, I'll get it done right away" the secretary said and she turned to leave.
" Tell the director to see me right away" she said.
" Okay" secretary said then she went out.
Frank's POV
I was on my desk working on my laptop and chitchatting with Damien when the boss's secretary came.
" Frank, Miss Richmond wants you in her office right away" she said.
" Wait Stella, what's it about?" I asked.
" I don't know....you have to go find out" she said then left.
" Do you think it's about me coming late this morning?...I think she's gonna fire me" I asked Damien.
" C'mon Frank, you're the director she can't just fire you like that" damien said.
" You know that's not true at all, the previous director was sacked for missing two days Job" I said.
" Then you will have to use your charm on her" Damien said.
" You know that's not possible...... it's more like my charm don't work on her" I standing up.
" I guess you will have to go find out" Damien said.
" I guess I'll do that" I said then went straight to her office.
I got to her office then knocked and she replied for me to come and I entered.
" You called for me" I said as I entered.
" Yeah, actually there's something I need to talk to you about" she said and I was relieved cause I'm not getting fired.
" What is it about?" I asked.
" Yeah, I just want to ask.....how do you do it?" She asked and I was confused.
" Do what?" I asked.
" I'm very impressed with what you've been doing in this company, especially with how you helped us secure so many deals" she said and I smiled.
" I don't think that should be a question...... it's my job to make sure this company is successful" I replied.
" It's just that with you something like that seems easy, like yesterday I was trying to secure a contract with one our clients but she's giving me a hard time" she said.
" so I was thinking you and I could go over to her and try to convince her" she added and I was lost in thought.
' oh no it's never going to work out..... I'm never going to be comfortable around her especially with something like that'
' how will I tell her I can't have her there with me, I will never concentrate and there's a possibility we might lose this contract'
" Did you hear what's just said?" She asked taking me out of my reverie.
" You said?" I asked.
" You mean you didn't hear what I just said?" She asked.
" Sorry ma'am, I was lost in thought" I replied.
" What are you thinking?"
" Nothing ma'am"
" Get yourself together, I said we are leaving in ten minutes" she said.
" Ma'am, I don't think you should come along....... I'll just take care of it" I said.
" This is not just any contract....... it's a very important one, so I'm going" she said.
" But ma'am it..........."
" What's wrong with you all today......why are you all trying to tell me what to do" she said.
" Listen I'm the boss here.......and when I said I'm going then I'm going......you don't tell me what to do......and be careful and do you try to mess this up" she said.
" Yes ma'am" I replied.
" Get out and wait for me at the garage" she said then I went out.
" Uh uh........ I'm very certain This is not going to end well"
