"Who the hell do you think you are? Why can't I fire you?" He ranted
"Because I did nothing wrong. I only slept off In the office and it wasn't written in the appointment letter that was sent to me that sleeping isn't allowed. I'm the one that supposes to get angry at you for disturbing my resting period" I told him without an atom of remorseful
"Resting period? Oh my goodness! I'm going crazy" he said, caressing his hair in frustration.
"It was written that you can be fired if you fail to deliver your job accurately, right? Where is the document that I told you to type" he questioned
"Jeez! That's one of the simplest things that I've done. Here, "I handed over the document to him. Hurriedly, he checked it page by page.
"How come? How did you manage to put this together?" He asked, feeling stunned
"That's Karen's little secret '' I flipped my long hair backward.
He cleared his throat before rechecking the document.
"It has some grammatical mistakes. Type another one and you have just ninety minutes this time around" With that, he left his office.
"Jeez! Why is he trying to make work difficult for me? He is just a monster! I've never lost before and this isn't gonna be the first time".
Instead of retyping again, I choose to continue my meditation when I hear someone entering my office.
"Hello," she greeted, waving her hands with her long nails at me.
I glanced at her from head to toe. She was dressed in a black bomb short and white crop top coupled with some big jewelry and heavy make-up.
"I must be dreaming," I told myself, then laid my head back on my desk.
"Hey! I'm greeting you" her voice came again.
"So this isn't a dream? What could a slut be doing here? Oh sorry, you are here for the interview, right? Well, that was done yesterday and as you can see, I'm the chosen personal assistant" I said, getting irritated by her sight.
"You must have been mistaken, I'm Anita and I'm here to see Mac" she responded proudly
Wow! What an effrontery!
"May I ask if you have an appointment with him?" I questioned
"Well, it seems you don't know me because you are new. I'm not a visitor that needs to book an appointment before seeing Mac. I'm free to come here any time of my choice" she explained
"Oh? But I'm sorry to say. The rules have changed and you need to book an appointment before you can see Mr. Scott. If you don't mind, you can drop your card and I'll contact you" I said, facing the computer to continue my work.
I didn't bother to raise my head to check what she was up to until Mr. Scott annoyingly called my name.
"Karen? How dare you delay my guest for so long?" He roared as expected
"I wasn't informed about her arrival, that's why" I replied, not allowing myself to get moved by his words
"Listen and listen well! Henceforth, you have no reason to delay my visitor! Else, you wouldn't like the outcome" he uttered with so much authority in his voice.
"What if they are here to harm you and I'm able to see that, should I still let them in?" I I Inquired
"That shouldn't be your headache, I'll handle my life matter by myself," he replied.
"Let's go baby doll" he grabbed his mistress by her hand and both evacuated to his office.
"Gosh! I hope their moaning wouldn't be loud enough to destroy my earbuds," I gave up.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
It has already been one hour since Anita arrived at the office. Mac gave instructions not to key anybody into his office in the meantime.
I was done with the work assigned to me by doing copy and pasting as I did during the first one.
The office phone began to ring which I picked up almost immediately.
"Miss Karen, I've been trying to get in touch with Mr. Scott but it wasn't connecting. Can you tell him to contact me please, it's a matter of urgency" the Planning department manager said panicky
"I'm sorry but he is busy at this moment"
Busy f*****g a bitch
"Would you like to drop a message for him?" I asked
"You need to let him know immediately. Someone is outside the company, causing a commotion that we stole his design. The reporters are already outside and the company's share has dropped drastically. Kindly let him know as soon as possible" he explained
Upon hearing that, I dashed out of my office. Without thinking twice, I opened the door and what I saw amazed me.
I shouldn't be surprised but I was trying to believe that Mac wouldn't stop so low to f**k a b***h inside his office.
"Have you gone nuts? Why did you come in?" He barked angrily
"s**t! Your assistant has no courtesy" Anita added, rolling her eyebrows.
Anita was sitting naked on Mac's lap, who only had his trouser off.
I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me.
"Have you gone numb? Can't you speak?" Mac spoke again
"She may wanna join us, don't you think it's gonna be fun?" The b***h smirked
"I'm gonna deal with you, but that will be later" I promised myself
"Well, I received a call that your number wasn't going through and the company is already on fire! A man was outside, causing chaos that you stole his product design and it has made the company's stock to dropped by four percent" I delivered the message calmly
"What the f**k!" He exclaimed, pushing Anita up and starting to dress up. I didn't wait for him to reply before I left his office.
He came out shortly after, still adjusting his necktie.
"Call the board of directors meeting immediately" he instructed
"They are already waiting for you in the conference room" I asserted.
He left for the conference room while I tailed behind.
"Go and check the situation outside and let me know" he Instructed while I obeyed instantly.
The man that led the protest was screaming and sweating under the hot sun.
"This shouldn't be the best option, he should have a book appointment with the CEO and inform him," I thought.
I cleared my throat while I moved closer to them. They all diverted their attention to me and were staring as I began to pack my hair into a ponytail.
That's what I do whenever I smell trouble.
"Pass me that megaphone" I motioned to the man that has been yelling since morning. The security guards were giving me some weird looks but I didn't care.
Like magic, the megaphone was given to me.
"Hello everybody, I'm the personal assistant to the CEO. I'm hereby informing you that your complaint will be taken into action immediately. You can stop protesting now and go back to your various houses. Thank you" I announced
"That's a lie! Mac Scott wouldn't take immediate action about things like this. We need to be sure of getting compensation for our design that was copied before we will leave this place" the man that led the protester insisted.
"Seems you didn't hear me. I said he has begun to work on it NOT that he will work on it" I corrected
"Oh! Are you trying to tell me that I'm deaf?" He got annoyed
"Maybe but I didn't say that" I defended myself
"Well you can choose to continue shouting but remember that all of you will face the rant of law, if care isn't taken" I screamed at them
"Bunches of fools!" Then scoffed, before leaving them.
"I don't know why they are behaving like animals. Even animals know how to compose themselves" I kept murmuring till I entered the conference room, where the impromptu meeting was being held.
"Didn't I instruct you to make the design from scratch? Why the heck did you want to copy another design?" Mr. Scott banged the table in annoyance which made them flinch
"Believe me, sir, I made sure to supervise everything and it was designed from scratch. We didn't copy somebody else's design" The old man was trembling as he was trying to defend himself.
"s**t! I hate being ridiculed like this! You are fired!" Mr. Scott talked angrily
"No! No!! No!!! You can't fire me please, I've already put my everything into the development of his company" Mr. Henry, the head of the design department pleaded
"What if I prove to you that he is telling the truth?" I voiced out, as I stepped in
"What?" They all exclaimed
"Yeap, the design wasn't dubbed like you all think and I'm gonna prove it but with one condition," I said proudly
"Name your condition" Mac uttered while I smirked.
