Hectic First day with the President

At the President’s Office, they had their morning briefing. Joshua Elliot, President of the Elliot Group has just arrived in the Country to officially take over the Elliot Group. He was previously a Deputy CEO base in Canada but his Father Kevin transferred the ownership to him hence he was summoned in the Elliot Group head office Cape Town SA. Their Family owns several Companies which straddles from Mining, Petroleum, Hotels, Resorts,

Schools, and even into buying Companies that is about to go bankrupt, in the Country and some part of the globe.Still a bachelor at the age of 27, with dark brown shoulder length curly hair always tied in a neat bun, Sun-kissed skin, duchess nose, thin lips, and with a towering height of 6 feet 4 inches no wonder every girl in the Company excited for this day to come. Girls in the Company envied her for being chosen by him to be his Executive Assistant. Recollecting, she had met him at several events the Company had before but never had interacted with him and every time is being accompanied with different woman. Rumors have it that the President was a

certified 'Heart breaker', a non-committal type of guy. It all started when she was formally introduced to him at the Group’s Annual Conference 2 years ago then was later on invited to join the get-together. Surprisingly he was dateless on the event, so they got the chance to get acquainted from then on she found herself attracted to him. Who would have thought that this opportunity will come she thought to herself secretly smiling.

“Are you okay Miss Maria?” Joshua lifting an eyebrow at her

“Ah yes, I am Mr. Elliot” she replied. Shit he just caught me smiling to myself like crazy? Focus girl!

While Maria, takes down notes, little did she knows that the Man quietly watch her from his seat. Maria Cabin, 24 years old a Filipino with Chinese and Spanish blood, single with a blend of Snobbish whilst seductive look. Straight light brown hair with a streak of highlights hanging till her waistline, snubbed nose, cat eye, full lips, and high arches eyebrows which made her look more intimidating but sexy at the same time. Slim with curves and stands 5 feet and 10 inches tall. She is more than just a beautiful face, he knows a lot about her apart from getting acquainted with her 2 years ago he did a thorough background check before he pirated her from the Director of legal affairs. He found out that she used to work overseas for 13 years, 5 years in the Hotel Industry (Residential and business type of Hotel) while 7 years as a Personal Assistant in a Private Company that was affiliated in Government bodies. Impressive! Her professional experiences made it perfect fit to be his Executive Assistant. She is considered as Asset to the Company thus most of his C-Suite Executives chiefly the men are chasing after her to work for them not only because of her work ethics but because they are very much fascinated with her but she ended up

working in a Legal Affairs Department. But of course, as the President of the Elliot Group he needs a high caliber employee. Who dares question him for pirating her just like that? And as for her, there is no room for refusal.

“You still have an hour before your Departmental meeting, would you like to have Coffee or tea first? She asked him

“Café Noir” He replied

“Okay Mr. Elliot” She replied and left his office at once.

Maria called the Pantry area, and informed Marco to make Café Noir then turn to face her desktop to start drafting memos when Marco buzzes. Checking from the ring video cam she pressed a button to unlock the programmed door and leads him inside his office.

“I’ll be on the other side of the floor, preparing the conference room for your meeting” She said.

Rest of the Morning went smoothly; they have visited all the Departments in the Company. At lunch, Maria went to his office to check whether he likes to have food from the canteen or he prefers to order somewhere.

“I’ll have lunch with a friend of mine; you can go for your break.” He said and left.

“Okay, Mr. Elliot” she responded.

Maria works the entire afternoon alone on the 60th floor; it’s already 6 pm which means working hours is over. Joshua didn’t comeback which is not necessary for him to do so as Company Owner. At that moment the elevator opens exposing Joshua, he saw her still working and stops in front of her office leaning on the door.“Do you usually

overstay? I just came back to collect some files that I would like to check from home. I wasn’t expecting you’re still here.” he said staring at her

Maria shrieked and almost jumps from her seat upon hearing a voice; she didn’t hear him came in. “I had them ready earlier. I am just finalizing my turn over to the new Secretary of Legal Affairs and will leave after.” She replied palming her chest then took the files on the corner of her desk.

“Okay, great” He replied back sitting on one of the visitors chair while waiting

“Here you go Mr. Elliot; I believe these are the documents you need” handing the documents to him

“Okay thanks, go home as soon you’re done” He replied then went to his office first

“Yes Mr. Elliot” She replied.

After 5 minutes Maria went to Joshua's office to inform that she’s going home.

“Alright, I am leaving too. Let’s go” He replied

“Have a good evening and drive safely” He said before they parted ways going to their own cars. Before leaving, Joshua’s about to call his Mom but saw a lot of unread messages and one was from Maria in the morning. Hmmmmn…'So she hangouts at Pier79 too, wonder if she understood that she

mistakenly sent me the message .Wait….Did she just refers to me as ‘Beast?' Joshua thought
