ASHER
*
*
I woke up extra happy today and I couldn't even hide it.
I put on my best suit, paid attention to details. put on a new colone I just bought. I even did something with my hair just so I could look extra nice
I went to the other side of the house.
His best friend was there, they looked occupied with work .
"Good morning", I said excitedly.
He looked at me briefly and returned his gase back to what he was doing.
Okay, I'll assume it's because Timothy is here.
"Asher could you please check if the driver is ready to leave?", Timothy asked.
I nodded and went outside, he was waiting in the car.
I came back, "Yes sir", I said.
"I should get going, gotta submit these ones first", Timothy said standing up.
"Sure no problem, we'll meet at work, let me tidy up some shits here", they shook and then Timothy left.
I turned to him with a smile.
"Good morning", I said.
"Heard you the first time Asher", he said standing up to his wine booth.
"Uhm, did you sleep well last night?", I asked expecting to hear something that would make me feel better.
"Yes", he said opening a bottle.
Okay, what's going on?
"Uhm i-"
"Tell Larry to get the G-Wagon ready, we'll be leaving in 10 minutes ", he said walking into the kitchen.
I swallowed hard
Okay???
I went outside and told the driver to get ready.
Exactly 10 minutes later he came outside and got into the backseat.
"Do you know how to drive?", he asked.
It took me a second to realize he was talking to me.
"Me- yes, yes I do",.
"Larry get the f**k out ", he said.
"Excuse me?", he asked confused.
"Did I stutter? I said get the f**k out of the car, Asher drive".
He was in an ugly mood today, I've never seen him in one like this before. And he's drinking before going to work? I remember one time he was scolding his brother for doing that.
What's going on?
Is it me?
Was it what happened last night?
Does he regret it?
But now basically he's asking me to drive, meaning he wants to be alone with me.
Larry looked so confused, but he obeyed immediately.
"I'm sorry sir", he said.
He sighed, "Larry I didn't fire you, I just don't want you to drive me, go home or make yourself useful somewhere else ", he said coldly without looking up from his phone.
"Drive ", he instructed me.
I kept on looking at the review mirror again, looking at him.
"Is there a problem Asher?", he asked without even looking up.
How the f**k did he know I was looking at him?
"No nothing, it's just... it's just that you're acting off and -".
"And so what?".
"I just wanted to know if there was a problem or something I could do to help".
"Yes there is, drive", he said sternly it made me shake.
I swallowed hard.
Soon as we pulled up in front of his office, I got down and went to open the door for him.
"Is it about last night?", I mustered courage to ask.
He looked at me for two seconds and then roller his eyes and handed me his laptop bag.
He got out of the car and adjusted his suit.
He turned to leave.
"Sebastian", I called.
He turned around swiftly.
"It's Mr Greenwood to you, I'm your boss not your fucken friend", he said and turned to leave.
"Sir I'm sorry i-"
"f**k I should have gone with Larry instead", he hissed and then walked into the building.
I swallowed hard.
I think I've f****d up. Real bad.

I was uncomfortable the whole of today. My heart kept racing like crazy, deep down, I know I've f****d up. But I don't know how bad.
He's in an awful mood today, one I've never seen him in since I started working for him. Everyone noticed it and kept talking about it.
He didn't even look me in the eye today and he's ignoring me.
I think I might have messed up big time.
He was drunk last night, he lost control.
I wasn't, I was fully sane and what I did is unforgivable. He hates me.
I wonder why he hasn't even fired me yet. He's probably waiting for have a reasonable reason to
Or maybe he doesn't want me to go back to the street I don't know I'm so scared.
"Asher".
I jumped.
It was Mrs Anderson, she was like the second manager, Mr Greenwood's right hand woman.
"You look lost, are you good?", she asked.
"I'm fine , just having a bad day, it's nothing", I replied faking a smile.
She sighed, "Seems like the rumors of when boss is having a bad day we all have a bad day is true".
"I've never seen him like that before, since I started working, it started from home"
"Same here, it's been a while we saw him like that, been a year maybe, he's always cheerful, he makes work easy for us here. I think it's the whole stress from his dad to get married that's overwhelming him".
Or that he gave me a fucken blowjob when he was drunk and he's straight and messing with him.
I fucken hate myself for not getting control, I hate that I let myself do this again stupidly.
"Must be really hard being him", I said.
"Tell me about it, how can you pressure your own child to have a family when he's not ready? telling me about if he can't keep a family how can he keep a company, gosh it's so hard for him.
And imagine what would happen if he doesn't get the company, they'll give it to his brother Anthony", she said with disgust
"Is he that bad?".
"Bad? he's terrible, this man has literally slept with almost every woman in this place, you will not believe he was even making advances to my daughter that came here for internship last year, disgusting, God no, I rather marry Mr Greenwood to save this company from that man", she said and we laughed about it.
Sebastian's door opened.
"Asher my office", he said and then closed the door.
I swallowed hard.
Oh boy here we go
