After my scolding from my boss, I was determined to not be late ever again. Work starts at 9 am so I should get up at 6 am and get the bus by 7:30. Never know what might happen better to be early than late and get fired.
So I have been getting in so early to work that I am even in the office before my co-workers are even there. I was even getting praised for getting to work early by Adam, I mean my boss. Surprisingly he is very kind once you do things you are supposed to do. Those tabloids have it all wrong. They don't know the real Adam.
Everyone was called to a meeting today about how we can improve our sales even more. Everyone had to pitch an idea or so I felt. No one had anything so Adam told us to work together and give him an idea by the end of the day. This would be a great chance to get to know my co-workers. I inched over to them to get in on the conversation. "Anyone has any ideas?" No one answered maybe they didn't hear me. "Maybe we could..." Before I could even finish everyone got up out of their seats and just walked away. Maybe they want to work separately. I'm fine with that I guess.
Later on, I had a hard time figuring out what to do with this lady asking for help so I went to go ask my co-worker. Her name was Elise, she was the one I talked to on the first day here. I tapped her on the shoulder. "Elise, I was wondering if you could help me? This lady on the phone is talking about wanting a refund for a dress she bought". "Figure it out yourself" said Elise. " Well that was just rude" . I walked over to my other co-workers and they all said the same thing. "Did I do something wrong to them or something" I wondered. I went back to my seat and tried my best to figure it out. When the lady got angry, she asked to speak to m boss. I put her on hold and walked over to Adam's office, I poked my head in and said that someone wanted to speak to him. He told me to put her on his line. So I went back to my desk and that is what I did. After a while he called me in and asked why I had a difficult time helping her out or why I didn't ask my co-workers. I didn't want to be a tattletale and tell him that my co-workers refused to help me so I told him that " Everyone was busy and I didn't want to bother them so I thought that maybe I could help the lady with her problems and it would be easy but then she got angry because I couldn't really help her and asked to speak to my boss" . He said "You will get the hang of it don't worry but in the meantime if you have any questions ask your co-workers or come to me. " He was so nice it was unbelievable what the tabloids had said about him. I thanked him and went back to my desk.
The rest of the day went by smoothly and I was the last one to leave. Just when I was packing up my stuff I realized that Adam had been sleeping on in his office. I wonder should I wake him up? I walked into his office and slowly made my way to his desk. Looking at him sleeping he's kinda cute. Anyways, I tapped him on the shoulder and he wasn't moving. I kept tapping and tapping and tapping but nothing. "Maybe I should just leave him be" I said. I turned to leave his office when his hand reached out and held mine. His grip was tight. I tried to get his hands off but nothing. As I was trying to get his hands off he woke up and he realized he was holding my hand. " Could you let go now please?" I said. As soon as I said that he dragged me in and I was now sitting in his lap. " Now why would I want to do that." he said. " Weren't you taking advantage of my sleeping?" He was so close to me I could feel his hot breath. " No I wasn't. I came in here to wake you up because everyone had already left the building. " He reached in like he was about to kiss me and for some reason I closed my eyes. I was nervous. He came up close and said " You can off me now". I jumped up out of his lap and walked away. He got up out of his seat and grabbed his bag. He just walked past me like nothing happened.
I followed him so that we could leave together and then he suddenly stopped. " How would you like to marry me?" he said. I froze as he asked the question. " Marry me" he said.
