Dorathy's Pov
I was very happy at the information I just
received as I rushed to tell my grandma.
"Grandma! Grandma! HR called me just
now and said that I was given the position
of secretary of Gates's Company!!" I said
shouting at the top of my voice.
"Congratulations dear, I'm happy for you.
After so many trials and failed attempts,
you finally became victorious."
"Thank you Grandma." I said hugging with
a bright smile on my face.
I had to call my best friend Emily, to
inform her about the good news that I
have just received.
"Hello Emily, the HR called me just now
and said I have secured the position of
secretary of Gates's Company!" I said
joyfully.
"Congratulations baby girl, I saw it
coming." Emily said.
"I owe you Emily, thank you so much for
the referral, I'm grateful."
"Common, what are friends for? This calls
for celebration! Let's hangout!"
Emily and I agreed to hangout at
Mambillah bar, a nearby bar. As I told
Grandma that I would soon be back. I
headed for the bar in a magnificent dress,
I was the secretary to the prestigious and
popular Gates's Billionaire Company.
So I needed to look elegant.
I finally got to the bar, it was a luxurious
bar with nice settings, Emily had ordered
drinks and food for us to celebrate with.
local bar. As the drinks were shared and
we both laughed, I found myself caught
up in the jubilation, gradually losing
control of the alcohol volume that I was
consuming.
My joy turned into a blur as the night
continued. The atmosphere was bright,
the music was solemn, and the drinks
kept coming. I was still in the celebration
mood as I continued drinking cocktails
without caution.
As the night went on, I couldn't walk
properly and I was staggering, I started
laughing uncontrollably which captivated
the attention of others in the bar. I
continued my display, I was ignorant that I
was under the influence of alcohol.
"Dorathy please stop, you are
embarrassing us." Emily said.
"What do you mean, let me celebrate and
enjoy myself Emily." I replied with
drowsiness.
"Dorathy, you are drunk! Do you realize
what you are doing to yourself?" Emily
shouted at me furiously.
Emily tried to curb my nonchalant attitude
but it wasn't working, I was drunk and
unconscious of my environment. I danced
around until I got a particular table and
then, The happy celebration turned into a
chaotic scene as I vomited on a stranger.
The stranger happened to be my boss,
the billionaire CEO of Gates's Company. I
had not met him before so I didn't know
that he was the one, the bar was
luxurious so he came to have a nice time,
moreover I was intoxicated for me to
know what I was doing at that moment.
"I'm so sorry sir, she is drunk, please sir."
Emily apologized on my behalf.
"What is this? When she can't control her
drowsiness, why did she drink alcohol?"
Mr Maxwell Gates said in a cool and calm
voice.
He was soaked in a sudden vomit caused
by alcohol, he was just looking in
disbelief. The other people who came to
drink burst into laughter which became an
embarrassment to Mr Maxwell and I. The
bar's attendant quickly attended to the
billionaire CEO--Mr Maxwell Gates as
they cleaned his clothes and cleaned up
the mess. Emily realized the level of my
intoxication and apologized to him once
again as she took me home.
We started the night with a victorious
celebration and it ended in an
unforgettable experience, leaving me
with a hangover of both regret and
embarrassment.
When I got home, my grandma was
disappointed in me, she thanked Emily for
bringing me home, when Emily left she
took me inside, changed my dress,
bathed me and put me to sleep.
***************
It was morning already and I was no
longer under the influence of alcohol,
though I felt weak in my body due to the
things I did at the bar.
"Good morning Grandma," I greeted.
"Emily, why did you drink to stupor? You
could have hurt yourself, do you realize
the risk and dangers in what you did?"
She yelled at me.
"I'm sorry, I was excited and I just wanted
to enjoy the moment, I couldn't control my
alcohol intake." I said.
"Look at the time, you are late for work
already." Grandma said looking at the wall
clock in the sitting room.
"Ohh, damn!! I screamed and went into
the bathroom, bathed and went to resume
duty as a secretary at the Gates's
Company, my new place of work.
As I was passing through the bustling
streets on my way to the office, flashes of
the previous night's incident played in my
mind. The celebrations, laughter, fun and
the embarrassing action of vomiting. But I
had not yet realized the gravity of what I
have done.
Upon reaching the office, my eagerness
to start my new role momentarily covered
any obvious discomfort and thoughts. As I
went further into the reception, I admired
the luxurious structure of the company as
other staff members glanced at me and
muttered amongst themselves.
It wasn't until I got a message that was
requesting for my presence in the boss's
office, I became nervous and anxious of
who it might be and what questions he
would ask me. Nervously, I passed
through the familiar passage.
The moment I got to the boss office, I got
my biggest shock. I flashed back at the
incident that happened the previous night
and realized that the person I puked on
was my boss, Mr Maxwell Gates.
I was shocked, I knew I can't escape
questioning and my job was at stake at
that moment.
"Good morning sir."I greeted him.
"Morning, please have your seat." He said
as I sat down in fear.
"Your face looks familiar, are you not the
lady from the bar last night?" He asked.
