'Knock knock'
"Come in" Liam answered and Andrea walked in with a tray in her hands. She walked straight to him and poured him a cup a coffee just like he requested.
"Get the files ready we'll be going to going to Quin's industry." Liam said to her without looking at her as he sipped from the cup.
"We…..?" Andrea didn't know when she asked aloud.
"Yes, WE or should I remind you of your job??" Liam asked her wondering what's wrong with her, she's his PA after all.
"No… sir you don't but why do I need to come along" Andrea asked
"Seems you're bad at being a PA" Liam said.
"Sorry sir, I'll prepare the files right away" Andrea said as she left the office.
Seems you're bad at being a PA, that statement kept on playing in her head. She was almost in tears as she remembered what he said. It's her first day at work and her boss already said how bad she is. Can it get any worse than this, it wasn't stated anywhere that I'll have to move around with him, it wasn't in the email. But I can't lose hope now can I? I'll prove to him that I'm the best of the best when it comes to fulfilling my duties and he can't ask for anyone better.
Not quite long after her telephone rang and she picked it up
"Meet me by the private elevator in 5 and don't be late oh yes make sure the files are complete. I won't tolerate incompetence" The voice which was on the other end of the phone said and the call ended without giving her a chance to reply.
"Wow Andrea you got yourself a caring boss" she said to herself as she quickly packed up left her office. Soon she got to the elevator and met two young men both dressed in suit. They both were good looking and so eye catchy only that one was her boss and the other was his work partner. She went into the elevator and stood behind them, she didn't know when her eyes started taking note of their every inch.
As she stood in the elevator, nestled behind her boss, Mr. Mickelson , and his partner, Mr. Miles, she couldn't help but notice the imposing figures before her. Both exuded an unmistakable air of confidence and authority, their broad shoulders and tall statures commanding attention. But it was her boss's presence that truly dominated the small space.
In the confined space, the contrast between the two was striking, with Mr. Mickelson's frigid energy drawing the air out of the elevator, leaving her feeling breathless and a little intimidated. She shifted her weight, her eyes fixed on the back of his tailored suit, her mind racing with thoughts of the challenges ahead.
Soon they arrived at a parking lot and there was only two cars present at the moment. Andrea looked around to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. OMG!!! There are only two cars here does it mean that only these guys drive a car in the company?? Or what. As her eyes wander around the parking lots she saw a sign that read 'Private parking space'. Then she realized that this space is only for the two of them. Then again she wondered what relationship they share and what's so special about Theo that made her boss treat him like they both own the place.
"Hello miss Smith, I believe we haven't properly introduced ourselves yet, I'm Theodore, Theodore Miles but you call me Theo," Theo said to her with a warm smile.
"Ye….yes sir…" Andrea answered unsure of what or how to respond to him.
"It's Theo" he said again trying to make her call him Theo not sir
"Si…. Sir T… Theo" Andrea said trying to call him Theo not sir.
"Hmmm I guess that could work for a while, miss smith" Theo said to her while holding the car door for her.
"Thank you sir Theo…." Andrea said scared of what her boss might think about it.
Immediately Theo closed the door for her, he look at Liam who was already staring daggers at him. Theo just chuckled and said " Common Mr. Mickelson or we'll be late" as he entered the front seat of the car.
Liam entered the car and ordered the driver to move. The car was silent for a while until Theo broke the silence
"Miss Smith, you had a lot to say about Your boss last night….." he said looking at Liam from the rearview mirror.
On hearing what Theo said, Andrea's cheeks became red hot, The little air her lungs was able to take in from the coldness of her boss's aura suddenly disappeared. She found it difficult to breathe. Is he after my life or something!!!!! Wait was he there last night?? I'm already trying my best to forget about what happened maybe I'll just deny it all and say I don't remember
"Wha… what about last night…. I can't really remem…
"Hahahahah…..Oh really young miss it's okay if you can't I'm pretty sure you're friend will mind" Theo laughed as he interrupted Andrea. He knew she would want to deny because she doesn't want to risk her job especially now that his friend is being as scary as hell.
At the mention of last night, Liam's heart started racing hard again. He tried so hard to control how he felt ,all he could feel was rage. But was he angry at Theo for trying to make him jealous or at Andrea for making it easy for him and being too friendly with him. He turned to look at Andrea and noticed how red she was and how she was trying so hard to breath. He then asked the driver to lover the window.
Soon they arrived at their destination, and they all headed straight to the board room for the meeting. Andrea wonder who the owner of the company was because from the look of building's structure and interior designs, she could tell the company is on par with the company she works for.
About 30 minutes later, the meeting started. Andrea was immediately struck by the palpable aura of power and confidence that filled the space. The room was dominated by men in tailored suits. Her boss, a tall, imposing figure with a strong jawline and piercing eyes, stood at the head of the table, his presence commanding attention.
As the meeting began, the conversation was intense and fast-paced, with each man trying to outmaneuver the others. The air was thick with tension, and the She could feel the weight of their collective ambition. Her boss was a force to be reckoned with, his voice booming through the room as he made his points.
But as she observed the head of the other company, she began to feel a sense of unease. There was something about him that didn't quite add up - a coldness in his eyes, a calculating glint that made her skin crawl. He was charming and affable, but beneath the surface, she sensed a ruthlessness that was unsettling.
As the meeting wore on, Andrea found herself growing more and more uncomfortable. She couldn't shake the feeling that these men were not just powerful, but also dangerous. They were used to getting what they wanted, no matter the cost, and they would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
Her boss, too, seemed to be cut from the same cloth. His charm and charisma were undeniable, but beneath the surface, she sensed a hardness, a willingness to do whatever it took to come out on top. She realized that she had been blinded by his charisma and authority, but now she saw him in a different light.
As the meeting drew to a close, the She felt a sense of trepidation. She knew that she was in a world where the stakes were high, and the players were willing to do whatever it took to win. She left the meeting with a sense of unease, wondering what she had gotten herself into.
"Congrats Mr. Mickelson for closing the deal in your favor" Theo said to him as they headed to the car after the meeting.
"Theo I don't trust Mr. Quin, please have Tom look into him, he seems different from his father". Liam said. Shortly after, the noticed how shocked and shakey Andrea was. He knew she has never witnessed anything like this before, at least now she knows she's working for the devil.
"Miss smith,take the rest of the day off" Liam said without looking at her.
"Sir…? But Why…?" she asked in disbelief
"There's something else I need to attend to so cancel the rest of the meeting today and go home and yes write a report on what happened to day and send it to my email" Liam said to her.
"Okay sir" Andrea said since that's all she could say.
They got to the office and only Andrea came down from the car. Seems they really have something else to attend to. I should quickly do as I was told so i could go home,She thought to herself. She got to the office and rescheduled the meeting to another day, reviewed what she wrote down and sent it to Liam.
"I guess that's all then, I can call it a day now" she said as she yawned and checked the time. It was past 4 already so she left the office and headed straight to board a taxi to Elisa's home.
Liam's car stopped at the front of a warehouse where he was to meet up with Tom. He walked straight to into the building where a guy beaten to a pulp was tied down to a chair.
"He stole the goods sir, but he's not saying who put him up to it. He doesn't look like someone who can act without an order" Tom said to Mr. Mickelson.
"Leave us" Liam commanded and Tom left immediately.
