Sir,Sir,is everything alright??the assistant secretary ran after Bernard when he came into the office by 10:00 am
"what does it look like?",he answered with a snarl which sent the worker running and he bumped into the CEO's P.A and sighed.
" Thank God it's u David ,the CEO came in wierd today,u need to see him,"that was all the man could say before running away and David frowned and walked ahead as he was told Bernard was in a bad mood,he thought it would be wiser to knock.
Knock!knock!knock!knock!
"David,is that u?come in"the voice called from the inside.
Yes sir,but,how did u know I was the one?he asked as he entered locking the door behind him.
You're the only one brave enough to face a wierd me,he said and David stared at the CEO in amazement. Wow!did u dress to make every lady in the states go mad??
Bernard was putting on a round necked top showing how built he was,a long pair of jean trousers,sneakers, instead of the usual office suit and tie with the office shoes..and on top of all,he was putting on a pair of sunglass.He was afraid his eyes might betray his crazy drinking the previous day.
"Mind telling me what's up??"Davis asked.
Well,I met a lady,she works at a coffee shop, Bernard stated.
Don't tell me u we're attracted by a low life lyk her,David said unbelievably.
"Guess,I am,I just want to know about her and be with her"he pulled off his sunglasses now.
"So where were u yesterday???"
At the coffee shop,that was the only way,I consumed a whole lot of coffee till she asked me to leave...can u believe a mighty and handsome CEO Bernard actually leaving cos a lady said so.....Bernard chuckled
"Should I get ur personal doctor sir?'David asked concerned
'Does it look like I'm I'll?'the boss asked in annoyance....as he continued..
"well, u'll see less of me in the company now, I found a way to be with her,I figured out they were in need of a new worker,the CEO voiced out and David thought he was going crazy...
"You want to wake as a waiter?? your status??your job??"
"I don't think we both have to worry about my status,the work place is in a local area and I don't think they would know me....."he was saying when David gave him a glare and he quickly added"at least not really"
" And the working hours are from 12noon to 6,I can take over my business outside dat time,dat reminds me,it's almost 11:00am", Bernard said getting up and all David could do was stare on in total awe...
'Sir,ur meeting with the China Embassy???David reminded his boss who gave a smile
"Schedule if for around 6:30pm,I guess, u'll come pick me up without a driver,ull drive whenever I tell u to",Bernard said...
Wait!what! 6:30pm??
Yes, ZOOM!alert them,Bernard added.
But,it was meant to be a physical meeting??
"They'll do what I say, they'll do anything to get the contract...so..... Bernard smirked.
And hold on a sec,am I now ur driver???asked David and Bernard just shrugged and headed out.....
Bernard arrived at the shop to meet a middle aged man,the owner,he thought.He looked around and did not see the lady and he felt pissed and kind of impatient...
"The shop isn't opened yet"the man shouted.
'I'm here for the job sir, Bernard tried to be polite but,he was loosing it...
'Oh,come on in', Joe invited him
Joe stared at the man from head to toe and waved his head in amazement cos dis man was elegantly dressed and Bernard could sense the man's suspicion
"Are u sure u need a job,young man.Jow asked suspiciously.
"Yh,well,I'm new I. town and just wanted a little sustenance. Bernard lied and the man did not seem to buy it but,he slowly nodded.
Do u know how to operate the coffee maker,the man asked.
"Yes,and how to serve the customers, though no experience,I've learnt from seeing others"
No experience???well his handsome looks could fetch me a fortune. Joe thought.
Well, u'll get paid daily £20.....
"what"????£20,??Bernard screamed in shock.
Yes,or is anything wrong??
"No,not at all"
"such a selfish bastard,how would someone survive on such peanuts daily,poor lady!,I'll teach dis idiot a lesson once I get what I came here for".Bernard thought in disgust as he stared at the man
Where's dis girl??Joe muttered staring at the walk clock.
Bernard saw it as an opportunity and asked"what girl"??
" Your co-worker",I wonder what she's always thinking of...He said..
",I think as co workers we should know our names"Bernard sneakingly asked just to get the lady's name😊😊😊😊.
I'm Joe,she's Anne....Joe introduced
So her name is Anne??, Bernard thought happily knowing her name and he thought of what name to give in order not to leak his real identity on time...
Leonard...my name is Leonard,he hurriedly said, though it was not a lie,his middle name was Leonard but he was known as Bernard all over.
Just now...the door opened and Anne walked in with her flowing hair....
