" You need to be aware of your boss' schedules and expectations, " he said in a serious tone. She just nodded her head.
Then he continued, " Mr. Richards prefers espresso. Your main priority is to serve him with it after he walks into the office. Sometimes he takes a latte"
He showed a small kitchen with minimum amenities and a fridge.
" You have to take care of his meeting schedules, emails, and travels. Sometimes you need to do extra work and stay back extra time if the work requires it, " he added.
" Okay sir…" she replied but her heart raced slightly as it was a different kind of job which chose this time.
" Most important thing, you should be punctual and should come before Mr. Richards " he instructed.
" Yes of course. I will be on time " she assured him.
" But don't worry. He will be late usually in the morning. He will come when there is any meeting to attend, " he said with a small smile.
Is he a very old person or a sick man! She thought in her mind.
" Still I don't know why he appointed you as his personal assistant all of sudden! Have you known him earlier! " He doubted, looking at her
" No...till now I didn't see him. I am new to this city. I only heard about his achievement through the internet. I think it's my luck to get a chance to work with him, " she said excitedly as she thought it was senior Richards.
" Ohh…" he said sarcastically.
" Sir. Can you tell if there are any health complications for Mr. Richards! " She asked hesitantly.
" What! Health complications! "Mr. Lewis exclaimed with shock and surprise.
" Yes...sir. I mean ….there will be some complications in the health after crossing fifty years " she said timidly.
" Does he look fifty years old! "Mr. Lewis asked while laughing. He continued laughing while placing the hand on his stomach.
She looked at him blankly and said, " I heard that Mr Richards was running his company for a long time. So I thought it might be fifty years old"
Mr Lewis stopped laughing and looked at her innocent face.
" Didn't you meet our CEO yesterday! " He asked.
She nodded her head as No and told him everything that happened in his cabin. Mr. Lewis understood that she is not like other girls.
" Our present CEO is his younger son, Cameron Richards. And you were talking about Senior Richards, John Richards. You need to work as personal secretary to him but not to Aaron Richards " Mr. Lewis clarified her confusion.
" oh ….. I didn't see his face" she sighed.
" I thought in the absence of Mr. Kevin Richards, Senior Richards might be handling the company," she said in a low voice.
" Hmmm… how do you know that Kevin used to handle the company before! " He questioned with suspicious looks.
" Nowadays, all details will be posted on the internet. And I have a habit of knowing about the company before going to the interview, " she answered.
" Good. We should also update our skills and also about news " he appreciated her.
" But remember Mr Cameron Richards is different from his father and his brother. He is a demanding person. It's difficult to manage his work. You have to keep on working to fulfill his requirements. Sometimes he will show his anger too. So be ready for that. He is not a person you can play with. So always be alert during working hours …" Mr Lewis said.
So you need to keep your eyes open and listen to everything he says. You should also respect him a lot. He is very strict, " he added. He paused for a moment and then continued, " I will be assigning you some work to do. She felt nervous as she came to know about him.
" Take your seat. Better you check all the mails and try to study the present project details of the company. Your boss...will be any time " saying he walked away from her.
