Tuesday morning came and Eliza prepared for work, she put on a nice purple shirt on a black fitted skirt with a purple heels. She picked up her handbag and headed for Calohun's room. She reached his room and knocked on the door but their was no reply, so she opened the door and he was still sound asleep. Eliza stamped her feet on the floor, making squeaking sounds with her heels, and he opened his eyes.
"Am leaving for work, so take care of yourself, brush your teeth and bath and feed yourself, there are some cup Noddles in the fridge, you can eat that" she said and he nodded his head. Eliza left for work and Calohun went back to sleep.
Eliza boarded a taxi that dropped her right in front of Adams choice, a company that produces body creams and other skin care products. Over the years, the company had gained worldwide recongnation. It is a third generation company that has been passed down to three generations. Falling in love with the CEO of such company when she is just an ordinary secretary from a middle class home was not a wise thing, for the past two years now, she had loved Dan and developed strong feelings for him and she had always hoped that he felt the same towards her, so that together they can stand strong, even if his parents are against it.
she paid the taxi man and went inside the building and took the elevator. on her arrival to the 10th floor, she was suprised to see the staffs peeping into the CEO'S office, through the open drape curtain. She cleared her throat and the staffs turned to face her. "Good morning secretary Eliza" the staffs chorused.
"morning, what is going on?" she asked
"Erica is in the boss office" a male staff said
"Erica, the actress?" she asked, suprised
"yes"
"get back to work" she commanded and the staffs reluctantly went back to their desks. She adjusted her hair and lipstick, then she knocked on the door.
"come in " Dan said from inside and she took in a sharp breath. She turned the door Knob and was suprised to actually see Erica sitting on the couch, with a cup of coffee in her hand and her legs crossed and Dan was sitted across her on the other couch, with his leg crossed also. "good morning" she greeted and bowed her head slightly.
"Morning" Erica replied, scanning Eliza with her eyes
"Morning secretary Eliza" Dan greeted. Noticing the questioning look on her face, he spoke."Am sure you know Erica" he said and pointed at the well know actress. Who doesn't know Erica, she thought to herself, "I do" she replied and Erica lips curled into a satisfactory smile.
"She will soon be the new ambassador for Adam's choice, especially now that we want to launch some new products. The signing of the contract will take place on Friday, so begin to make preparations" said Dan
"yes sir"
"I would love it to be a grand and memorable one, you aren't signing a contract with just anyone, it is me, Erica" she said and Eliza frowned
"okay, I will work on that too" she said and managed a smiled
"I will leave now" Erica said and stood up. Dan stood on his feet and bowed his head slightly, " see you on Friday" he said and shook hands with her, then she worked out of the office majestically.
"organise a meeting with the design team and make the signing ceremona grand one like she wants" Dan said to Eliza after Erica had left
"I will sir" she said and bowed her head slightly.
"you can get to work for now I will call you if I need anything"
"yes sir" she said and scratched her eyebrows. "I would like to get off work early today" she said
"why?" he asked
"I have some important things to do"
"okay then, cancel my schedules from 4pm downwards, you can get off by that time, but you have to come early tomorrow, our Investors said they want to have breakfast with us"
"breakfast, not lunch?" she asked, amazed
"hm"
" okay, thank you sir" she said and bowed her head and left the office to meet up with the design team.
4pm on the dot, Eliza got off work and boarded a taxi home. She was feeling a bit uncomfortable that Erica will become their company's new ambassador, she is a beautiful and popular actress, who could end up marrying her boss without any issues, she hated that she developed feelings for Dan and at the same time loved it. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest. She reached her home and payed the taxi man. She opened the small iron gate and entered the compound. She was in great shock to see about three empty cup noddles at the door step, she hastily opened the door and opened her mouth in awe.
