"You were suppose to be on time for your first day at work..... this shouldn't happen again, am I clear?" Joseph in a serious deep voice.
"I'm really sorry it was just because of the traffic jam, but I'll take care that this doesn't happen again." Emma in a shameful and shabby voice.
As they move forward to their desk Emma asked Joseph "Who was that person with me in the lift ? Do you know him?"
"Yes!! Why? what's wrong?" Joseph asked in a curious tone with a confused expression on his face.
While Emma was narrating the incident that took place with her in the lift Richard walked in very quietly for anyone to notice, as Joseph and Emma were busy in their discussion . He heard Emma calling him a creep because of the reaction he gave on seeing her for the first time.
Feeling a bit complex and having a mixed emotional thought Richard made his voice deep and serious "Mr. Joseph if you are done with your gossips then please update me with my schedule for today."
"Go.. good morning sir, I'm sorry sir just one minute." Jo in a nervous voice said.
While he narrated Richard the schedule, his eyes were stuck on the girl standing besides Joseph waiting for him to finish.
"Thank you Joseph."
Looking at Emma "And you are?"
"Sir this is Emma your new assistant, she got hired yesterday." Jo explained to Richard.
"Good morning Sir." Emma in a bold and confident voice.
Emma had a feeling of digging a hole and burring herself in it, as she was ashamed of the thoughts that she had for Richard were completely inappropriate. this feeling left her face looking dull and eyes looking down out of shame. Still she stood the day and completed her work for the day and as the clock struck seven everybody was heading towards their home.
It was a normal day for Richard until he went back home freshened up and had his dinner. As he entered his study and started working, had a visual of Emma the same way he saw her previously that day in the office. This left a broad smile on his face,noticed by Mrs. Carol who came to check on her son after a really busy day.
On the other hand Susan was busy planning for her wedding that was promised by Mrs. Carol to be performed with her son Richard. Susan's obsession for Richard was increasing day by day.This was disturbing Mr. and Mrs. Mathew as it was driving their daughter crazy. So they thought of talking to Susan once, they entered her room.
"Hey honey what is it that has kept you so busy the whole day?" Mrs. Mathew in a hesitated way.
"I told you guys in the morning what Mrs. carol promised me yesterday in the party. right?" Susan sounded very excited.
"Yes honey but don't you think what you are doing will make you look too desperate, like all the event planners you are contacting is too soon.I think you should wait for a week or two until Mrs. Williams convences Richard." Mrs. Mathew tries to manipulate Susan.
The night falls and it goes peacefully for everyone as there is no unusual incident happened anywhere with any of the families. and the sun rises up making everything light up.
This day is not same for Richard as he knows that today when he goes for work he is going to a fresh and happy face that will make his whole day a great one. He get ready and has his breakfast and leaves for work.
Richard enters the office building hoping for the same to happen today. But it is nothing like that happening right now. he is getting a bit upset because he has a day with a really very tight schedule, so he has a fear of not being able to meet Emma today.
As he enters his cabin, there is standing Emma with a broad smile on her face greeting him and ready with the schedule.
"Good morning Emma where is Joseph ,isn't he coming for today's meetings?" Richard said in a merry voice.
"He sent me to help you for today, so that I can learn everything under him and it won't be a problem for the up coming days, so I'll be assisting you from now and he will be working at some other things." Emma explained Richard the reason for her presence.
"Could you please bring all the files related to today's meetings from Joseph's desk?" Richard asked so that he can get some time to express his happiness alone in his cabin.
As Richard had his work on priority ,they went working till it was time for a lunch break. Emma stood up to go out and have her lunch but Richard stopped her saying "Would you mind if I asked you to have your lunch with me, Ms. Emma?"
Hearing to this Emma was a bit hesitated because she had never been asked for something like that before so she said "No sir I wouldn't mind that at all but usually I have been asked to do something like that it's that I'm a common worker how is it fair to eat with the CEO like that."
Richard after listening to Emma " I'm your boss only when we are working, else we can be friends if you are okay with that?"
Richard's words marked the beginning of their friendship. As it really affected Emma.
