A love that Lasts

2

I wake up at 6. Prepared for my breakfast and had a little chitchat with my friend about how our life fall apart, lol. After eating I took a bath, brush my teeth and choose a clothes to wear. As a secretary I can wear any formal clothes and because I'm wear of cold places i always choose long sleeves and skirt or pants and top with blazer. I decided to wear my nude shade trouser and a white crop top shirt that doesn't show my belly and a beige polo to cover in case my insecurities kicked in. I wore white snickers and grab my bag and keys. I made sure that I unplugged everything before going out. I get in the car and start the engine. I decided to turn on my stereo and play a song called "Love Maze" by BTS to hype myself up. When I arrived there are still few employees in the lounge, I hop in the elevator to 20th floor. When it opens I quickly get out and go to my place and make coffee for my boss. I walk to the door and knocked.

Sir? And I walked in. I'm sure he don't mind because he is probably awake and did not hear me/ignore me or he is still sleeping. And I guess it's the latter. I knocked in the bedroom when i did not see him in his chair. Sir? I repeated.

Um? He replied in his sleepy tone.

It's 7:30 in the morning. You have papers to sign and review plus lunch meeting to attend to. Unless you don't want to?

As if I can! He shouted that makes me giggle.

Your coffee is in your table. I walk to the drawers of reports. I am done with my tasks yesterday. The schedule is fixed unless one of them mess it up so I decided to grab half of the marketing department's and read it myself and summarize so he doesn't have to read it all over. I was in the middle of reading when my alarm clock rings saying its 10:30 in the morning. I need to remind him about the meeting and we will be leaving in 30 minutes.

I knocked and open the door. In 30 minutes we should go, unless you want to get stuck in a traffic jam?

He signed. Okay, thanks. He massaged his nose bridge.

I go back to my desk and collect the papers that I'm done. I open the door and I saw his forehead creased.

I summarized the papers. I'm not done with the others though. I hope this helps. I shrugged.

Yeah thanks, you're the best secretary. And he pointed at me.

Yeah that's because I can get a free beer and food later so yeah. I shrugged again teasing him.

He shoot me with his oh so angry blue eyes that doesn't look scary at all. Then he rolled his eyes like a girl getting angry because someone wants to borrow her doll.

So I did the same and left. In my 2 years as his secretary i can say that we are close. Though he gets angry like other bosses do, he know how to handle different situation by not over reacting.

I fixed the important stuff that I need for the meeting like notebook, pen, voice recorder in case i did not catch the other parties words and money. When it's almost 11 o'clock I did not needed to knock again because he got out wearing his black tuxedo and shinning shoes.

They will probably be shocked to see you out. Like you are always here but they don't see you well except when there are important matters.

There is no use of going out. I have a lot of things to do.

I nodded. Yeah, you became workaholic. I chuckled. Should I drive?

Yes please my hands are sore. And he moves his hands before giving me the keys of his car.

As soon as I got in I started the engine and put my stuff at the back seat. His car is honda civic and like his office it is clean. He hop in in the shot gun seat. I started to drive and we arrive on time, the meeting place is not that far but it's good to be early than late. We got out and get our things before going inside.

Hi ma'am sir good day! I smiled. Hi a table reserved by Mr. Yang?

Oh year right! This way please. He lead us to the table for 4. We waited for only 5 minutes Mr.Yang says he got stuck by the traffic. They discussed about the proposal and shoot questions to make things clear. While I just listened take down notes and recorded their conversation.

After an hour of talking they stand up and shake hands.

Thank you Mr. Yang. We will contact you again soon for the contract that we need to sign.

Thank you too, Mr.Smith

Mr. Yang says he have to go because his wife was waiting for him so they can eat lunch together bute he says that he will pay for the bill but my boss decline and said its okay.

I look on the menu and saw strawberry cheesecake.

Do you want anything?

This one. I pointed on it.

Okay. He raised his hand to call the waiter and he told our order. Is that all you want? I nodded.

Sure?

Yup.

Okay, one strawberry cheesecake, a beefsteak and burgers that's all. The waiter repeated the order and left.

Can I ask you a personal question? He suddenly said that caught me off guard. We have been working together for two years. We maybe feel comfortable to each other but we never talked about personal matter, well except the fact that I know half of his life.
