Damn you Cassanova.
I would not let myself get close to you
##################
Today was Evelyn's second day at work. Like before, Riki came again to pick her up. Although Evelyn felt uncomfortable about it, but she could not refuse Riki's good intention. After all, Riki was the only person who was always there when she needed a shoulder to lean on. Riki also knew about Evelyn's family chaotic background. So, how could she refuse his offer.
"Huft, let him be. Consider it as an aid so I could save time" Evelyn muttered and exhaled a tired breath.
Evelyn looked at Riki from the passenger seat and she could feel that there had been a change in him but she didn't know why.
"Good morning, Evelyn!" Rania greeted happily.
Rania, the receptionist, was Evelyn's first office friend and it turned out that Rania and Evelyn went to the same college and were in the same class of year, but they took different majors.
"Good morning too, Rania, " Evelyn replied excitedly.
They talked casually, knowing there were still having few minutes left before work.
"Ehem!"
Evelyn was startled by the voice from behind. She turned around and shocked when she saw the person standing behind her. Meanwhile Rania bowed her head and greeted the person politely.
"Good morning President Director!" Rania said kindly.
Rania like other women employee, also liked the President Director, but she was afraid of the consequences, so she had never try to get his attention. She even only showed an ordinary smile towards him.
"Hm," Samuel responded briefly.
"Good morning Sir!" Evelyn said with a cheerful smile.
"Hm, bring my bag," Samuel ordered shortly. His hand held out the bag containing his laptop, which Evelyn received immediately.
"Yes Sir," Evelyn replied.
She followed the President Director who walked with steadfast and firm steps, ahead. She could smell a sweet scent, which wafted from the body of the President in front of her.
"What the name of the brand of the perfume he is wearing?" Evelyn thought curiously.
The smell was almost the same like Riki's, but Riki's scent was calmer. Meanwhile, the President's scent was more sensual.
"Is this the reason, why so many women approach him? Ah, forget it. It's none of my business," Evelyn thought unconcernedly.
Ting!
The elevator opened.
Now, the two of them were already in Samuel's room. Evelyn put carefully the bag containing president's laptop on the desk, which the owner quickly opened.
"Is there anything that I can do, Mr. President?" Evelyn asked.
"Hm, I used to drink coffee with two sachets of low calorie sugar. You can start by making it every morning. Then afterwards check my daily activities. Do you understand?" Samuel explained.
Evelyn nodded. Then she walked to the table where there was a coffee maker, complete with cups and utensils.
Evelyn made the coffee with a smile on her face. She didn't expect that her boss was a coffee lover.
Takk!
"Your coffee, Mr. President Director. " Evelyn said, and put the hot coffee with steam rising over the surface on the table which immediately, the scent of the coffee pierced into Samuel's nose.
" Is there anything else that I need to finish immediately?" Evelyn continued.
"Look at the agenda on the table. You read out my schedule today. Did Barly tell you yesterday, what your main task are?" Samuel asked patiently.
This was the first time Samuel tried to be patient with his personal assistant usually they would all immediately understand what their job were.
"Yes, he did and I've also read your schedule until next week, " Evelyn told him.
"Good, tell me what are my agenda for today !" Samuel exclaimed commanding.
"From 1 pm to 7 pm, you have meeting with clients outside the office " Evelyn explained. Fortunately, she had a strong memory, otherwise she would have been kicked on the second day of her work.
"Good, we'll go to a meeting outside. You prepare the materials and files. Ask Barly for help to copy the files. Do you understand?" Samuel asked firmly.
"Ehm, me sir? I'm joining the meeting? Not Mr. Barly? " Evelyn asked in a row.
Samuel snorted and nodded in respond.
"Yes, who else? Barly stays here, because every time there will be new clients visiting, whether asking questions or joining the company," Samuel explained concisely and clearly.
"Yes, I understand Sir" Evelyn replied.
"You can go back to your desk. Don't forget the pre-work ritual, do you remember?" Samuel asked.
"Yes Sir, I remember!" Evelyn said excitedly, making Samuel smile.
He would never thought that one day, he would have an employee who was not immediately fascinated by him.
"Is she Riki's girlfriend? Why isn't my charm work on her?" Samuel thought fiercely.
"I will excuse, Sir," Evelyn said. She turned around, after receiving a brief nod from the President.
On her desk, she saw stack of reports from the other divisions that needed to be signed by the President Director but before that Barly and her had to examine it first.
"Must do it quickly," Evelyn sighed before starting her work.
A lot of work made Evelyn forget the timing, until she glanced at her watch, which was beautifully placed on her left wrist, showing 11.45 am.
This meant that there were only a few minutes left before she left for the meeting place with the President Director.
Kring! Kring!
The ringing sound of the telephone on her desk gasped her. She immediately lifted it, then put it on her ear with her shoulders pinched, while her hands were ready with a pen and a small book.
"With Evelyn here, how can I help you?"
"My room, now!"
"Yes Sir,"
After receiving the order, Evelyn walked quickly to the President's room, knocked on the door and opened it slowly.
"Yes sir?" Evelyn asked.
"Let's go now," Samuel ordered.
Evelyn was confused. She wanted to ask questions but was afraid so she could only nod.
"I am ready, sir!" Evelyn replied curtly.
"Hm," Samuel muttered.
Evelyn returned to her desk, turned off her computer and grabbed her handbag and black blazer.
"There's still time about an hour, but how come we must go this early," Evelyn thought curiously.
"Are you ready? " Samuel asked suddenly behind her.
Making Evelyn startled, almost scolding the suspect if she didn't remember who she was dealing with.
"Yes Sir!"
"Good,"
He walked first, followed by Evelyn. They arrive at Samuel's special parking lot. They got into the car with Evelyn who sat uncomfortably in the passenger seat. Samuel drove the car by himself without a driver, so there were only two of them, and this was her first time sitting in a man's car other than Riki's.
Evelyn's awkward expression, made Samuel raise one eyebrow in surprise.
"What is wrong?" Samuel asked to the point. He was not someone who likes small talk, so he would better ask directly, rather than curious.
"N-nothing, sir," Evelyn replied nervously with her voice trembled, making Samuel almost chuckle.
"Woah, is this the first time she's in a car with a handsome man?" Samuel thought narcissistically.
Meanwhile the atmosphere in Samuel's car became awkward, only Jazz music with the sound of a saxophone accompanied them.
Evelyn was not kind of a woman who could open up easily, there would be no any intimate conversation, except with the people she was close to.
"We will go to the shopping area first, then to the meeting place, do you understand?" Samuel ordered suddenly, making Evelyn look at the Chairman with a funny frown, and again, she could not refuse so she only nodded.
Seeing that, made Samuel's faint smile appear, but quickly hidden it before Evelyn realized it.
Skip
They finally arrived at the shopping area, to be precisely at the boutique owned by the wife of a famous lawyer. This large boutique sold various types of clothing, from casual clothes to wedding dresses.
"Welcome, can we help you Sir? " A sales girl came and greeted friendly.
Samuel nodded with his eyes looking around the boutique where dozens of types of office outfit were located, office outfit for women to be precise.
"Hm, please choose a few pieces of work clothes for the woman next to me, then show them off and I will judge. Remember to choose the best and expensive one," Samuel said casually.
Evelyn who heard it, was almost screaming with a blaring voice, if she didn't remember, where she was and with whom at the moment.
"Sir, for what?" Evelyn asked in surprise.
"For you to use. I don't want to have an unneatly personal assistant. My personal assistant has to be interesting. Do you understand me?" Samuel said casually.
"And one more thing, starting tomorrow no more wearing trousers, I want you to wear a skirt above the knee and put on make-up. You get it what I want?" Samuel continued with a teasing grin, making Evelyn stare with mouth gaping.
"Seriously, Sir !!!" Evelyn shouted.
"It will be a beautiful sight to look forward " Samuel thought ignorantly and neglected the protests from his new assistant.
