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.
