CHAPTER TWO

HAILEY’S POV

“Oh my goodness, that is the hot head I get to work for, great just when things couldn’t get any worse.” As I went through the file my new boss gave to me, a lady walked up to my desk looking at me with despise as if we had quarrel recently.

“Can I help you?” I asked as I stared at her up down. Her outfit was a bit too much…looking like she was going to seduce someone’s boyfriend or husband. What’s with the short skirt and half button top? I could easily see her bra, and I bet if she bends down here, I would see her panties, too.

“So you’re the new PA? I wonder what’s so great about you he couldn’t just pick one among us he had to hire a newbie like you.”

“Excuse me, I might be new here, but that doesn’t give you the right to talk to me in such a rude manner. Have you met me before?? What’s with the attitude? I didn’t hire myself, so if you have anything to say, how about you take it up with the boss and see if you get to work here tomorrow.” I may be new here, but I won’t let anyone boss me around, especially not this snake. Who does she think she is? The boss’s wife?

“Who are you to tell me what to say and what not to say to you?”

“My Personal Assistant who I hired to work for me and by the look of things I see you seem to be having a problem with that.” I turned my back and met eyes with my boss.

“Uhm…sir, of…of course not. I just came to welcome her to the company and show her around.” Snake.

“I believe I should be the one doing that. She is my personal assistant, after all, and why are you here really? Do you by any chance see your work mate hanging around this floor?”

“No sir, I was just bringing a file to her, I’ll leave now.”

Hmm, how cheap. She was so full of herself a minute ago, and the next, she is acting all soft and obedient…. ugh don’t tell me it’s because of him? And when did he come out, I must have been too focused on her. I didn’t hear the door opening.

“Won’t take orders from no one, hmm?”

“I wasn’t referring to you, sir, and how did you even hear that?”

“I was standing very close to you, PA, so I heard what you whispered to yourself.” This man just eavesdropped on me. How rude, and I have a name, and it’s not PA “Oh okay, is there anything you wanted?”

“Hmm oh no, just heard some noise outside, and i came to check it out.” Oh, so he was not only eavesdropping but also spying on me, creepy.

“Okay uhm thanks.”

“Yea whatever, are you done with the file?” Well that’s a very stupid question. I just sat down when that snake walked in. “No sir I just started.”

“Here go through this file and print out a clean copy. Make sure it’s in order, oh, and get me a coffee while you’re at it.”

“Sir where is the copying room and coffee….”

“Floor seven by your left, and there’s a coffee machine at the side here, just walk straight.” I went through the PA file and checked for the kind of coffee he likes and if he adds sugar or not.

“Black coffee no sugar…no wonder he’s so cold toward everyone, didn’t he say he would show me around.”

"What was that?"

"Nothing, sir." I gave him a sun blinding smile, and he simply nodded and closed his office door.

I got up with the heavy bunch of papers he gave me, into the private elevator, and down to floor seven. It's my first day, and he’s already sending me to the seventh floor. What if I get lost? Or can’t find the copying room? What? is he gonna get me fired?

************

“Copy room...copy room, ugh how am I supposed to find a tiny room in this huge place? This man has gotta be kidding me if he thinks my brain is made of a machine part.”

“Hey, if it isn’t my angel... and what brings you to the seventh floor?”

“Oh sir it’s you, I was just….”

“Please I told you to call me Noah.”

“Sorry I don’t know you that much to be so friendly.”

“It’s okay, love, so back to my question.”

“Ah yes, the boss sent me to the copy room but I’m still new here so I can’t find it and I’ve been turning the whole block for an hour now, he’ll probably kill me for coming late again.”

“Hmm typical derrick, isn’t he supposed to show you around or ask someone to do it, you know what, how about I do that after you get those files copied?”

“For real? I mean that would be of great help to me but I don’t think my boss would like that.”

“Come on, he’s my best friend. What can he do? Fire me? Send me out of his company, never to see my face here? Please, I’ll handle him.”

“Well if you insist, then lead the way.” Someone tell me why didn’t I sign up in his company that I had to end up here with a cold boss?

“There you go, when you’re done, let me know, I’ll walk with you back so he doesn’t eat you up”

“Ah ah very funny, but thanks” he waved goodbye and walked back to what he was doing while I arranged the files in order and started copying them.

**************

“Hey, you must be the boss’s new assistant.”

“That’s personal assistant to you, stranger.”

“Ooo looks like he got a feisty one this time. The last one was too soft and all over him…disgusting I had to see that every time I was called up to his office.” I could tell how much hate he had in his tone as he spoke about the last girl before me. Are they all that bad just like that snake? “Mind sharing the story?” I asked, and he stretched his hand out for a shake, which I took not to look rude.

“Name Nathaniel, personality cool and friendly till you made me mad then I get really angry, I’m in charge of maintaining order in my department so when the boss need a report on something I’m the one he calls it’s like an assistant of his PA.”

“Okay I guess that works too, but how about I call you Nat for short, Nathaniel, hmm too long”

“Fine by me, so may I know you? We are going to be seeing more of each other, so you are?” A smile crept on my face as he finished speaking. He does have a point there, and at least then I’ll have one friend who isn’t a snake.

“You are a funny one, you know that? Anyway I’m hailey the new personal assistant of the boss and also your new work partner. Oh yeah am also a hot head, a lot of things and people’s personality disgust me when they are acting too much but other than that, I’m really sweet just don’t like pretenders so try not to act like a…”

“Thorn in your flesh? Nah, not gonna happen and hailey, huh? Pretty name for a hot head”

“Yeah well get used to it.”

“Will do, need a help with that? It seems to be a lot for a newbie.”

“Wow Mr cool, how generous of you to have finally noticed.”

"What did I tell you? I'm a cool guy."

"Right."
