Amelia's pov
I hurried myself to his office door not wanting to annoy him especially since today is my first day of resuming work. I placed a knock on his door and he permitted me to enter.
“ Have you gone through the instructions?” He questioned with an eyebrow raise.
“ Yes sir, I am still going through it,” I replied professionally.
“ I don't like my worker lazing around. Do you know that? Anyways it is not my duty to tell you that. Get me a warm cup of coffee,” he instructed without a care in the world .
“ I have just ten minutes to spare, else don't resume tomorrow,” he said coldly and I was shocked by what he just said. I just resumed today and he is already discouraging me.
“ I will be back soon sir,” I assured then he waved his hand lazily at me to disperse me. I caught sight of the expensive Hublot wristwatch on his fair wrist and I was awed, it's custom made for him with his initials on the wristband. He is indeed rich
I hurried to the company's kitchen to get his preference for him. I hurried myself so as to meet up with his time and at the same time follow the instructions given.
“ Here is your coffee sir,” I dropped the coffee on his table then took out my face wipes to wipe the bead of sweat that threatened to fall on the floor.
“ I hope you didn't forget not to add milk,” he said with a questioning gaze and I hurriedly nodded my head like a lizard.
He took a sip but spat it out almost immediately.
“ Didn't you read it in the instructions given? It was clearly stated that you should add only a cube of sugar in my coffee? Why is it so sweet?” He fumed at me and I held my breath hoping he wouldn't fire me because of this.
“ I… I am still reading it sir,” I stammered picking at my nails.
“ How many cubes did you even add to the coffee?” He questioned
“ Four cubes sir,” I replied, who the hell adds a cube of sugar to coffee if not my boss. Won't it even be bitter ?
“ You added four cubes? Get this rubbish away from me and make me a fresh one,” he pushed the cup filled with coffee towards me then used a wipe to clean his mouth before trashing it in the bin.
I walked out of his office and fumed at his action. It's just my first day in office and he is already stressing me this much. Is it even my job to make coffee for him?
I drank the whole coffee in a go and carefully prepared another one to his satisfaction. I returned back to his office hoping that he won't have any complaints with this one.
“ Here it is sir,” I dropped the coffee on the table.
“ Hope you followed the instructions properly on this one, I won't tolerate any form of lagging,” he said and gently sipped the coffee.
“ It's not bad,” he acknowledged and I released the breath that I didn't know I was holding.
“ Check my meal plan for today and place an order for my lunch at my regular restaurant” he added and I left the office after receiving his loads of instructions.
I grumbled to my office making sure my voice was as low as possible.
‘ Why is he so principled? No wonder his previous secretaries don't last,’ I thought to myself and hissed.
I checked his meal plan and I saw that today's meal was a light weight meal. I placed an order for his main meal, appetizer and dessert then proceeded to the dining room for my own lunch.
The JG group has a kitchen which provides free lunch for all staff, they prepare a variety of meals and you get to select the one you want.
“ Please can I have stir fried pasta,” I said to the server and I proceeded to get my dessert and appetizer. I was about to proceed to my dining table when I came across the person I least expected here.
“ Look who we have here,” April said with an ugly scowl with her face plastered with heavy makeup. I wonder how she got employed here, She has always been such a pain in the ass. We attended the same college and she was always looking for ways to get me in trouble.
I always try my best to avoid her, I spared her a dirty glance and walked out on her to an empty seat.
“ Did you just walk out on me?” She followed me and asked angrily but was still ignored by me. I glanced at my wristwatch at intervals so as not to spend too much time here.
“ I can see that you are now full of yourself, you are now an employee here so you have grown wings,” she continued to downgrade me.
“ What exactly do you want from me? Can you just let me eat in peace?” I was fed up at this point, today is just a bad day for me. I barely escaped being sacked on my first day at work and here I am again.
“ We will meet again, I won't let you go easily,” she declared and arrogantly matched away from my table.
I hurried my food while scrolling through my phone trying to gather some news when a mail notification entered.
List of the CEO's schedule was sent to me by his personal assistant and I opened it to check what it contained.
He has several meetings to attend with different companies and some contracts to sign as well.
I dropped my plates and cutlery in the necessary place then returned back to my office to note down his schedule.
