As she headed to his office, she remembered how he insisted that he had to drop her home. Even though she didn't want him to know where she was living. She had no other option than to let him know where she was living. She had so many questions in her mind. Why was he being good to her? Why did he take her to the late lunch? Why did he tell her to give him his t-shirt at his place? The questions on her mind were endless. Even though she didn't have the answers to her question. She hoped that he didn't like her since she didn't want to loose her job.
As the lift was on the top floor. She sighed heavily trying to catch her breath. Luckily for her, she was all alone. Adrenaline covered her whole body as she exited the elevator. She simmered in her anxiety and held her head high. She didn't want anyone else to see that she was anxious. Steve was sitting at his desk. When their eyes met, he had a faint grin on his face. "Shawn is inside he's waiting for you...", Steve informed her. She couldn't believe that Shawn was waiting for her. To her, she was just his assistant and couldn't understand the reason as to why he was eagerly waiting for her.
"Why is he waiting for me", she had no other choice than to ask him. Even though she knew that she was his right hand person now. She couldn't stop to think of the main reason why he was waiting for her.
"Cause you are his assistant now. Just go and he will tell you why he's been waiting for you", he didn't answer her question. She didn't ask him any more questions since she didn't want to be a bother. She then headed towards Shawn's door and opened it. As she walked inside, she made her lips curve up slightly by force. She didn't want Shawn to notice that she was anxious. She didn't want him to have a reason to make fun of her.
"Hi Shawn", she greeted him as she was standing. She still had that forced grin on her face. This was the best way she could simmer her anxiety, by pretending that she was fine. She couldn't allow him to see, she was struggling.
"Hi Miss Catina", he mentioned her full name. Her heart started to pound faster as she froze to the spot. Her fake smile was still there, so it was hard for him to notice that she was anxious.
"You may sit", he pointed at the seat which he wanted her to sit on. She sat at the seat and faced him. Since she knew that maintaining eye contact meant that she wasn't scared. She tried her best not to look in another direction in any way.
"I have the contract", she placed the contract on the table. She handed it to him so that he could preview it. He took it and placed it inside one of his drawers. He didn't even peruse one page to confirm that she indeed signed it. He later removed a booklet. "First read it. You have to start working today".
Her anxiety was slowly subduing. She took the booklet and perused the pages as her attention was on the book. Shawn's eyes were glued on her, he couldn't stop staring at her. He admired her beauty and the way she looked so innocent.
After she was done reading it, he informed her that she could keep the document.
As she sat upright to glance at him. She noticed that he was staring at her the entire time. Adrenaline rose in her body as she continued to glance at him. "Sir where should I start", she asked him. She wanted to silence the way he was staring at her. He came back to reality, he had a faint grin on his face as he still stared at her.
"Aaah you should first arrange these files. That's your work for today", he informed her pointing at the files. They were scattered all over and not neatly arranged. She immediately stood and headed towards where the files were. She started to arrange them slowly as he stared at her. She knew that she had to continue working even though her boss was staring at her.
"Am done", She informed him after one hour. Shawn had already stopped staring at her and he was busy on his laptop.
"Wow you fast I like it ", he was amazed by her job. Unlike his other assistants who were slower. She did the work faster and arranged the files neatly.
"Just go and bring breakfast for us", he gave her money. Cat was delighted that even though she was his assistant, he treated her well. After a few minutes, she comes back with one of the waiters. They were all carrying the breakfast as he ordered. Cat sat at the same chair she was sitting on. She took the breakfast as she tried her best not to glance at him.
"Thank you for the late breakfast", Cat thanked him with a slight grin on her face.
"You welcomed my assistants normally get the best treatment from me", he notified her. He was making her be anxious again.
"Why...?" Even though she didn't want to ask him the question. She knew that she had to ask him anyway. She wanted to know the reason that he was treating his assistants better than his other employees.
"Cause they're all ladies. And you know that ladies are tender", he informed her. She knew that he was saying the truth but she couldn't understand the reason why he was doing that. She didn't want him to treat her well so that he could start to demand other things later. She didn't want to end up like his other assistants who fell in love with him. She wanted to be different.
"True but am not tender", She wanted him to know that she wasn't like the others.
