First meeting

Shit I’m already late on my first day.

Hi, my name is Mei Hinata as you can tell by my name, I am Japanese however I was born and raised in England so I haven’t really kept touch i my Japanese. Anyways, I am supposed to have started my first day work after graduating university, but apparently I forgot to set my alarm, so I am a good 25 minutes…. I need to literally run I don’t want to make my boss hate me on my first day.

Sh*t I am so so late thankfully I live close to work but I cannot believe I didn’t set my alarm. I quickly run into the company whilst sorting out my skirt so I look presentable.

“Hey are you Miss. Hinata the CEOs new secretary?”

Secretary, I wasn’t told I was going to be his secretary. I’m not sure on the person you’re looking for I’m sorry I’m just supposed to be in the media department I was told.

“ Unfortunately, that spot was filled up and looking at your resume. You are a better fit for the secretary because of your speaking skills and intelligence”

What? Oh my God, this changes everything I am late on the first day as a secretary for the CEO. I am screwed. I’m not making passed the first day. What do I do? I’m going to get fired.

“ Luckily for you, the CEO is not here yet before he does get here. I need to tell you about him so you don’t embarrass yourself”

Okay thank you so much for helping me I am so sorry about the mixup until now. I have no idea I was going to be a secretary.

“ Honestly it’s fine, it will take a while, so let’s it down. Firstly you need to go with me his name is Alec De Luca we call him Sir Alec because of how long his last name is, it’s a mouthful to say but it’s really up to you what you wanna call him.“

Is he Italian De Luca?, I kind of like it.

“ Secondly, he is 24 to be completely honest. He seems like he is in his 40s with his personality is not a very approachable person to put it lightly. “

Before one of my coworkers can tell me more about him, a 6 foot five, black haired, stallion walks in. He is wearing all black suit with red tie and matching red shoes to go with the tie. Before I can mentally prepare myself, he walks towards my direction and stops right in front of me.

“Miss Hinata? You’re my new secretary… correct?”

Y-yes Sir De Luca I could barely get my words out. He is so intimidating are usually don’t get shy or intimidated by guys or anyone in general, but he is different especially when he started talking. I literally couldn’t think no words were coming up in my mind, it was completely blank.

“ come with me, I have some work for you to do” he said in a monotone voice.

Yes, sir, I followed him blindly into his office he shut the door behind him and rest his hand on his desk. He doesn’t say anything, I don’t say anything I don’t know what to say could I say?

“ how old are you? Where are you and how are your living arrangements”

Sorry what?

“Do you need me to repeat myself, I don’t like repeating myself so answer my question.”

I’m sorry. My name is Mei Hinata I am Japanese but I was born and Raised here in England and for my Living arrangements, I live on my own in an apartment in london.

“Okay thank you now was that so hard to say?”

No sir it wasn’t. I feel humiliated he’s treating me like a child and I hate it. Is this some sort of sick punishment for being late? It’s not like he knew considering he himself was late too.

“You can leave for today, don’t worry you will get a full days pay. Make sure tomorrow you’re here EARLY because on time is late and early is on time”

Thank you sir, I say with a frown god, I hate it here already he has a stink attitude. he already hates me god I don’t know what to do, should I just quit, I don’t think I can even last a week being his secretary.

Ugh, whatever I’m just going to go home and relax because tomorrow I start at 7am. Luckily, he sent me home not even 2 hours into my shift so I can prepare everything for tomorrow. Wait, do I have his contact details? Probably not, I will just ask for them tomorrow I can’t be bothered to stress about it now.

I need to start getting ready for bed. I do not want to be late to work again. What is his problem though? I generally do not understand. I mean I guess works can be very stressful for him because he’s a CEO and all of that but being rude to the new employer is a bit too much but I can’t judge I don’t know what he’s going through, if he’s going through something.

10 hours later…

My alarm rings. It is so damn loud I don’t know why I keep setting that alarm. I could’ve picked any tune and I picked the most annoying one. I can’t even blame anyone else which is the problem. At least I’m not going to be late to work today. In fact, I think I’m gonna be really early which is what I need to be.

Mei starts to pick up clothes for work. The criteria is formal of course and I have a contract that she got yesterday. She has to wear something red she doesn’t know why but she has a lot of red suitable for work so she put on her Red heels and gets herself to work on time.

God, I cannot believe I am here on time thank you I was talking to think being late is my thing. Right so today I’m going to ask for his contact details and I need to get him a black coffee with two sugars that should be easy.

I knock on the door of Mr De Lucas office and I don’t hear anyone. Before I walk in I knock again and I hear Sir. Alec’s voice.

“Yes, my new secretary starts today mum she going to get here soon I’m hanging up, bye love you”

God, my mother can be too much sometimes, always worrying about me and as much as I appreciate it, it can be stressful.

Mr Alec hangs up the phone, it’s my chance to walk in. I knock on the door.

“Come in Miss. Hinata, I’ve been waiting for you”
