Erin's P.O.V
I just arrived in front of Hunt Enterprise in my limo to start my day of work. I thanked my driver, Henry, for dropping me off.
" Have a nice day sir!" he yelled.
"You too Henry. I'll let you know later what time I want you to come pick me."
"Yes sir. Goodbye sir."
I head towards the building and proceeded to walk in. As soon as I walked in my receptionist greeted me.
"Hello Mr. Hunt, there is many young women here to be interview as your personal secretary up on the fortieth floor." She said while typing.
And one of those women includes her. The one who said things to me that no one has the guts to say to my face.
I stopped by the bakery yesterday so I can see her again but, the bakery was closed due to financial reasons. That's why I know should would try to get a job here. That and the receptionist informed me already.
" If anyone tries to schedule an appointment with me, I want you to contact those people and let them know my schedule is full for today. Also, alert me when the next meeting is." I commanded the receptionist.
"Yes Mr.Hunt.
"I proceed to my private elevator and to the fortieth floor. I got on and only a few minutes later the elevator open. I got off the elevator and started to walk to my office when I was interrupted by laughter.
I looked and saw that it was my sweet angel laughing and talking to another guy.
I instantly got jealous and started to get a bit upset. The only person that should make her laugh is ME! Wait, what? I barely even know her and I already feel possessive of her.
I stormed over to them but, they still continued to talk to each other as if I wasn't there which pissed me off more. I have had enough of this. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?" I yelled.
The two quickly turn around and looked at me as if they were two deer caught in headlights. I continued to glare at them until the blond hair guy spoke.
" Well, um s-sir I was just s-showing Ms.Hartman to your office since she is here for an interview as your personal secretary." He nervously said while averting his gaze from mine.
" Well I think Ms.Hartman can see that it's here and doesn't need your assistance. So, quit slacking off unless you want to be jobless in the next couple of seconds." I said in low dangerous tone.
I turned to look to at Alissa to see that she was looking down at the floor with her hanging low from being caught flirting with this ken doll wanna be.
"Follow me Ms. Hartman so I can interview you as my personal secretary." She nodded in response and we both headed towards my office.
While walking towards my office, a lot of the women waiting outside started to get upset because clearly they were waiting here longer than my Alissa. I turned around a gave those women my famous glare and they immediately settled down.
We both proceeded to the office and entered through my wooden door. I sat behind my desk while Alissa sat in front of my desk.
"Do you have your resume with you?" I asked while looking at her. She quickly shuffled through her hand bag and handed me a very neat manila folder.
I looked through her folder and was very impressed on what I saw. She studied business during all four years of college here at NYU and was an all A student in high school too. She never been tardy to work and works really hard according to her last employer.
"Well Ms.Hartman, I am impress at what I see. And i'm not a man that's easy to impress." I told her while handing the folder back to her.
"I want you to start right now. Your office is connected to mine so you'll be close if I need you." I informed her.
"Oh, really!? Thank you so much sir, I'll work very hard as your new Personal Secretary." She shook my hand with such excitement. It took everything in me to not smile at her adorableness. She began heading towards a door that lead to her office but I stopped her dead in her tracks.
"Ms.Hartman, I expect you to arrange important meetings and dates for me. If your not done with paper work, I want you to take it home and finish it. But just know I don't tolerate lazy employees."
"Yes sir, I'll do my best." She cheerily said to me.
Alissa's P.O.V
I'm so excited to start working here. I knew deep down that I was going to get the job as his personal secretary. But I'm also was worried about him letting our previous encounter determine if I should work here or not. When I entered the office, I was at awed how nice it was. The office was a very spacious room containing mahogany furniture along with a nice dark red carpet.
I sat down and began turning on the laptop that I will use to keep important things inside it. Ugh. Who ever was Mr.Hunt's old secretary was doing a bad job at keeping things organized. A lot of files were out of order and misplaced. No use of me complaining. I better start working now or otherwise I'll never be finish.
Five hours later
Finally, I just finished organizing everything in the office. Just now I hear a dinging noise on my computer. It was an email from Mr. Hunt. Why didn't he call me instead? We're literally right next to each other.
Come by my office right now this second.
Uh, oh. I just hope I didn't do anything wrong. I can't get fired when I just started. I quickly got out my seat to see what he wanted.
"Is there a problem sir?" I asked nervously.
"No, I just need to know if I have any important meetings." He said while looking down at what seems to be some important documents.
"Oh. Well sir you have one tomorrow around 1:30 p.m."
"Thank you Ms.Hartman that's all I wanted to know. You may go back to your office or you may take a break if you like." I nodded in response and headed back to my office.
Just as I sat down, my stomach begins to grumble loudly. Now that I think about it, it has been five hours since I last ate anything. Maybe I should take a lunch break.
I left my office and headed towards the elevator. I hopped inside and press the button that will take me to the floor that the company's cafe is located in.
A few minutes later, I gotten off the elevator and started to head towards the cafe.
"Hey Alissa." Said a familiar voice. I turn around to see Katherine next to me.
"Hey Katherine." I said to her.
"I heard that a certain person got the job. Congrats." She happily said.
"Thanks! I'm just glad I got the job itself as it is."
"Oh Alissa, are you heading towards the company's cafe?
"Yes, I am." I answered.
"let's have lunch together by the window. I love the views."
"Ok, let's have lunch together." she said
"Sure." I responded.
Both of us sat down at a table by a window and order some food. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with fries while Katherine ordered a chicken salad while we both ordered a glass sprite soda.
After that, we both got to know each other. I founded out that Katherine is twenty-six years old and has a daughter named Mia which she's three years old. Also that she's married to a guy named Michael who is a pediatrician.
"You have a beautiful family Kathrine." I complimented.
"Thank you. Even though these two give me a headache time from time. By the way, please called me Kat." She said.
"Okay Kat."
Thirty minutes later, we both finished up our lunch and headed back to our work stations. I started to do some unfinished paperwork until my shift ends for the night.
My hands started to cramp up from doing all that writing and typing. Time has passed and I look up at the clock and see that it's 9:30 p.m.
I packed everything up neatly and placed them on my desk. I got on the elevator for a few minutes until I reached the lobby. I then said goodbye to the doorman and headed outside.
Since it felt nice outside, I decided to walk home instead. I was about half way home when I started to hear a guy say something to me.
"Hey baby, come over her and let me talk to you." He said.
I just rolled my eyes and continued walking home. Before I knew it ,I felt a pair of strong hands pushing me up against a wall in a dark alley. The guy covered my mouth with one hand and used the other to go up my skirt. I started to panic and began screaming for help.
"Oh shut up! This is only going to take a minute." He said with a wicked smile on his face.
I'm kicking and screaming to get the guy off me but, he's too strong. I continued to try to pry him off me while crying at the same time. Then, it felt the guy was being lifted off me. I turned to my right to see Erin Hunt beating the guy angrily and mercilessly. I just stood there in shock because of what's happening right now
"H-hey. Mr.Hunt I think that's enough. I think we should let the cops handle this." I cringed watching him beat the creep to a bloody pulp. The look on his face reminds of a vicious maniac. After what seemed like hours he stopped and turn to look at me.
"Get in the car now!"
I obeyed his command and got in the car. Before getting in the car, he pulled out his phone and made a quick call to someone. After a minute or two, he hung up and ease his way in the car right next to me. When we got were settled, we put our seat belts on and began leaving the scene drive off.
"Thanks for saving me back there." I thanked him quietly.
"You shouldn't be walking on the streets of New York by yourself. It's to dangerous let alone at night." He scolded me.
Ugh, your my boss not my dad.
"By the way, direct me to your home." He commanded.
"Make a left and you'll be there." I directed him.
Before I knew it, I was outside the apartment complex building where Joe and I live in about ten minutes.
"Thanks for saving me and also the ride home."
"Just promise me you'll be more careful okay. Also I need you at work by eight o'clock in the morning." He said with a more serious tone.
I nodded and went upstairs to our apartment. I opened the door quietly and called out Jo's name. Maybe she's still at work.
I then went inside my room to take of my shoes. I striped out of my clothes and took a warm shower to wash the dirty bastards scent off me from earlier. After that, I dried my hair and body off I put on my favorite pajamas and brush my teeth. I got in bed and drifted into a deep slumber.
