London... Marigold Ave.st... 3:00 am
Julia's POV
"Oh c'mon sis turn off the lights I'm still sleeping. "Besides it's 3am, why on earth do you have to stress yourself waking up this early", my sis Juan complained while lying in bed.
"What? I need to get to my boss's mansion at exactly 6am to wake him up for work. Plus, I'm his PA now and I have to be serious so I wouldn't get disqualified from this position.
"Wait, What?!. Since when did you get to become his PA? You didn't tell me?,Juan asked as she sat upright with a confused look.
"Well...since Ms Dora decided to take a maternity leave last Friday. "Today's my second day on the job ", I said sighing. I know very well this job wasn't an easy task but hey girl I've got to do it patiently.
"For how long are you going to take her place because damn she needs to come back. The work of a PA is very stressful and exhausting,most especially when you have a cold hearted boss",Juan said talking from experience
"You know alright, I gotta go catch the early morning bus", I said fetching my long brown wavy hair up into a ponytail, applying my lip gloss and wearing my black heels to match peach neck shirt and white pencil skirt.
"Don't tell me he forced you to take up the position",Juan said scrutinizing her eyes at me as I shook my head at her.
"No,he didn't."It was an offer he proposed to me and he made me know that I'm the only one he can trust to replace Ms Dora". So you see, I had no choice than to accept the offer,plus, the salary's way better than my formal position at the interpreting department. "At least, I get to receive a 5000 dollars each month for six freaking months and so far, I think it's good", I said grabbing my beige coloured bag then fixing my hair one more time.
I checked the time on my watch and...phew it's 3:20 already.
"I gotta go Juan,see you in the evening , please prepare dinner", I said rushing to the door
"Ok sis, safe journey", I heard her say as she sighed.
I was lucky enough to catch up with the public bus as soon as I got there it was already there. I swiped in my card to pay for the fee and entered taking my seat.
Too bad,I don't take breakfast this early so I always ended up skipping breakfast for the rest of my working days. From my apartment to that of my boss's is a two hour drive.

East wing st. 5:54am
Knock! Knock Knock
I entered his house knocking at his bedroom door.
Knock Knock Knock
"Good morning sir. "Sir you have a lot of work to do at the office today!", I exclaimed hoping that he'll hear and open the door. Well, He did after some shuffling at the background. Coming out still in his pyjamas with a sleepy face and disheveled hair, he stretched and rubbed his eyes as if he's brains we're now processing his surroundings.
Why do I have to knock on your door everytime?
Then he gave out a yawn which I found sexy.
"Oh please, I'll meet you downstairs", he said shutting the door quickly before I could say a "Yes sir".
"Patience Jul", I mumbled getting back downstairs heading to the kitchen to set up breakfast.
At the breakfast table
A few minutes after setting up his table for breakfast, he came down all polished up in his blue black Armani suit with his briefcase in hand. He sat down taking his coffee while I sat next to him and checked my tablet to pull out his meeting schedules for the day.
"Uh go on",he signalled taking a sip of his black coffee.
"Ok sir,so now we are moving into a new market with the new market analysis", I trailed off reading it out to him on my tablet while he enjoyed his breakfast.
Hmm now I'm starving
"Are we on it?",he asked as he connected his deep blue captivating orbs with mine.
I quickly nodded averting my gaze back on to my tablet.
"Yes sir we are
"Anything else before the afternoon meeting?",he asked as he took his phone tapping on it.
"You have a meeting with Sarafinah and Michael".
Then his phone rings interrupting what I had to say next. I saw him frown as he checked the caller ID and answering.
"Excuse me. "Hello?", he said answering.
"Kate is too early to be calling me for personal reasons. I'm focused on work",he said to his girlfriend on the line then hanged up quickly as if it irritates him.
Then his expression turned cold just after the call. The person must have caused his anger . One thing I knew for sure was that my boss didn't want distractions when he's about to leave for work and during working hours.
"So who's at 10am?",he said signalling me that he was all ears.
"Louisa,sir
"What about Lewis?
"His meeting's scheduled at 12 sir".
"Hope you have had breakfast? If not, go grab a cup of coffee or anything and let's go",he said taking a last sip from his expresso cup.
"Um, I'm ok sir, thank you", I lied whereas in actual fact I was damn hungry and dying to take something into my system.
He nodded and stood up .
"Let's go",he said leaving and heading towards the door while I rushed to pick up his briefcase from where he dropped it then took my bag along rushing behind to catch up with his long strides.
