Amelia's pov
Knock! Knock! knock!I didn't wait for his response before I entered.
“ Who permitted you to enter?” I met with his cold gaze and shivered unconsciously.
“ Uhn, sir,” I panicked, not knowing how to relate this information to him.
“ Get down to business or else get the f**k out of here,” he said which made me fidget where I was standing.
“ Sir, you have a meeting with Global enterprise in ten minutes time,” I managed to speak out, not able to glance at his face.
“ And you are just informing me? Which kind of incompetent secretary are you?!” He growled angrily at me and the temperature of the room instantly lowered and I could feel chills emanating from his body.
“ I am sorry sir, I just got the mail from your personal assistant,” I bowed apologetically.
“ It was clearly stated in the instructions given to you that I should be informed at least thirty minutes prior to my meeting, you have only a chance left to redeem yourself else you will be fired,” he said casually and waved me off
“ Get me William on your way out,” he instructed and I left the office.
“ Boss needs your attention,” I mumbled to him, not caring whether he heard me or not. At least he was the one that landed me in trouble inside there, I just had a narrow escape.
I made my way back to my office and a petite girl with an innocent look walked up to me.
“ Hello, my name is Gracie,” she said to me shyly.
“ Yh, hello. I guess you know my name,” she nodded her head gently and I couldn't help but smile at her actions, she is so adorable.
I settled down on my chair, I don't have the intention of making new friends but she doesn't look like a bad person.
“ I am Mrs Linda's assistant,” she said, trying to bring up a conversation. It was clear that I wasn't interested in any conversation but I still managed to smile at her in acknowledgement.
“ You must be so lucky to be working close to the CEO,” she assumed and I scoffed at her thought. I am rather unlucky to be working with him in fact I am already fed up with his nagging.
I can't wait for work to end today so I can drag my tired self home. ‘ You cannot close from work without getting the approval of the CEO, rather you can only leave after he closes from work,’ that particular clause rang in my head and I hit my head in frustration.
“ Ish,” I slumped back on the chair, wishing I didn't take up this job offer in the first instance.
“ Is anything the problem? What are you thinking about?” The tiny yet curious voice of Gracie interrupted my thoughts and I smiled at her to show her that I am totally fine.
“ So how is your first day working with the CEO like?” She was further persuaded.
I really wanted to express my thoughts and tell her how boring and frustrating it's but I didn't.
“ It's been good so far,” I lied hoping she would just let me be.
“ Is he nice? I heard a rumor that his secretaries don't last more than a week, the only one that stayed for long only lasted two weeks,” she gossiped with a low voice. I was about to reply to her when my intercom rang.
“ Come to my office,” the voice commanded and hung up. Who else does that other than my cold boss.
I was gradually getting used to his domineering nature so I went to his office.
“ You and I will be going out to finalize a business deal, get ready and meet me in the parking lot,” he said to me, not taking his eye off the document that he was reading.
I got back to my office then I realized that Gracie had already left my seat. I packed up my bag then made my way to the parking lot
“ Bye,” Gracie said to me as I made my way out of the office and I waved back at her.
I don't even know his car but I still made my way to the underground parking lot. I was lost admiring high end car brands that were parked In the parking lot when a cold voice spoke behind me.
“ Are you done admiring the cars? Or you still want to waste my time?” It was as if a cold water was splashed on me and I immediately apologized for wasting his time.
We both proceeded to where his car was and I was awed by the sight In Front of me. Beautiful is an understatement for how gorgeous this car looks.
It is a limited edition black Rolls Royce sport car, the exterior looks so clean and classy.
“ Get in, we have only a few minutes to get to the location,” he said and entered the passenger seat, I followed suit then the driver joined us and we zoomed off.
“ Hello sir, you are welcome,” a man welcomed us at the hotel entrance.
“ Where is he?” He questioned him, ignoring the man's greeting.
They spoke in low voices for a few seconds then we proceeded to enter the hotel. I bowed to the man slightly then ran after my boss.
We walked through the hallway and stopped In Front of a private room. A chubby man with a round pot belly was waiting for us inside the room.
“ Good evening sir, My name is Brian Smith and I am the CEO of Smiths group. It's nice meeting you,” my boss introduced and they exchanged a warm handshake.
The man moved on to me, giving me a creepy look that I didn’t feel comfortable with. He faced my boss and spoke to him, “ Do you mind introducing this gorgeous lady that you came with?”
“ Her name is Amelia and she is my new secretary,” he explained to the fatty man.
“ Hi Amelia, nice to meet you. You look so gorgeous,” he offered me a handshake which I returned with a professional smile.
“ Thanks for your compliment sir,” I managed to say and tried to remove my hand from his hand.
“ Excuse me, What is going on?” The cold voice of my boss came to my rescue.
