CHAPTER ONE
"Hailey, get your ass down here this minute, don’t make me repeat myself.”
“Hmm coming mom, jeez I just got up and I’m not ready yet.”
“Well get ready and come down, you’re gonna be late for work and it’s just your first day”
“Oh shit I forgot I had work today, crap I’m gonna be late, oh no, no, no…..mom why didn’t you wake me earlier.”
“Obviously because I am not your alarm and I also have work too, young lady don’t stress me this early morning.”
“Ahh!! Mom how am I gonna meet up? My hair looks terrible.”
“Honey you look beautiful, just grab a little something on your way and don’t forget your bag.”
“Thanks mom you’re the best.”
“Love you too.”
* * *
I hurried out of the house to catch a taxi, I was so late and didn’t know if I would meet up on time, damn it’s my first day of work and I’m this late, I’m so getting fired.
“Taxi!”
I waved a taxi and got in, it drove as fast as it could down to my work place and left, I looked so disorganised but whatever, I’ll just clean up in the ladies’ room.
“Bang!! Oh shit I am so sorry, it’s all my fault I wasn’t looking at where I was heading.”
I apologise as I bent down and picked my fallen properties.
“Uhmm do you mind? Try looking at where you are going, it's rude to bump into someone”
“What’s with the attitude I said I was sorry, ugh someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.”
I finally got into the ladies’ room, cleaned myself up and tied up my messy looking hair into a bun, it was the least I could do right now.
“A Personal Assistant late on her first day of work, what’s the worst that could happen?”
I encourage myself as I walked out of the ladies’ room and entered the elevator. Why does every bosses' office have to be at the very top floor?
DERRICK’S POV
“Such rudeness, can’t she watch where she is going? How is it so hard to look straight?”
“Oh come off it derrick, she apologised and you know it wasn’t entirely her fault, I mean you weren’t looking straight either.”
This jerk with his ugly face, the hell is he even doing in my office.
“What are you still doing here?? Didn’t I ask you to leave like a hour ago?”
“Yea and so?”
“So you should be out of here before now and yet you are still sitting here with your legs crossed on my table.”
“Yeah not happening, I heard you got a new PA, and she is supposed to start working today, which also means you get to see her”
“So, what about it?”
“What about it? Dude I wanna see if she’s hot or taken” I took a pen and threw it at him as he dodged it.
“Get the hell out of here you asshole, what is wrong with you?”
“Nothing man, I just love pretty ladies and I seem to be so lucky as they always get to be around you for me to take.”
“You’re just something else you know that, last week you were with cindy, about three days ago I saw you and Talia kissing in your house and now you are interested in my new PA, do you have some kind of sickness that need treatment.”
“Come on man stop insulting me. Let me live and enjoy my life and I told you I broke things off with cindy and Talia; nah she’s just a one-night deal.”
“Really? A one-night deal, in your house? What happened to a hotel or a club? Or…… you know what that’s not my business just get out of my office.”
“Not happening, Imma see this girl first before I leave.”
“Suit yourself jerk”
A knock came on the door, I wasn’t expecting anyone so I took it to be the new PA.
“Come in.”
"Good morning sir, my name is Hailey Chester I’m your new personal assistant who will be working for you hence of today, I am so sorry for coming this late…I woke up late and couldn’t find a ride on time.”
“I see, well next time try to be more punctual than this, I won’t pardon you when this repeat itself understood?” I said as I continued what I was doing not minding to look at who I was talking to.
“Yes sir.” she replied as sincerely as she could not to sound too frighten. I stretched out a folder towards her. “Here is the file the last PA left behind, go through it and tell me if you want to add anything to it or….”
“Shees man, give the girl a break she just started and you are scaring her, she’s gonna be your PA not your house help.”
“Thank you sir but I don’t mind, it is my work so it’s okay.”
“Ah you are just so sweet, call me Noah and this scary man who is your supposed excuse for a boss is Derrick. Please my love if you need anything or he bully’s you, let me know… I’ll kill him for you and you can come work for me instead.”
I looked up to Noah and my new PA to see their drama. “Who do you think you are calling an excuse for a boss? I own this place and you are sitting in my property, so shut that gutter you call a mouth.”
“Oh please, stop boasting about this little thing, my company is far bigger and better than yours.”
“In your dreams maybe, and that give you the mind of wanting to kill me and steal my Personal Assistant?” This guy has some nerves to talk like that and in front of… wait a minute.
“Miss Chester did you bump into someone earlier today?”
“Uhmm yes sir, i….how did you know about that?”
“Oh so you are the pretty angel who walked into this demon earlier, that explain why you looked a bit familiar just now.”
“I am so sorry sir, I was trying to….” I waved at her to leave and she turn around and left.
“This girl almost ruined my mood today and now I find out she gets to be my personal assistant?”
“Dude you’re always In a bad mood and it’s making you grow old, soon you'll start having grey hair. I wonder how Ava deals with your shity attitude.”
“Noah I told you not to ever mention that devil's name in front of me, seriously do you have a death wish?”
“Are you gonna fulfil it? Get your hands stained with my blood, go to jail and rot.” He batted his lashes at me.
“Fuck you.”
