♡Amelia POV♡
♧ White house♧
I stepped off the elevator onto the polished marble floor of the White House west wing.
Being the new assistant of the president, I was still getting used to the bustling environment, and the huge responsibilities weighed on me.
I finally made my way to my office, I placed my bags on the desk, and I was about to settle on my chair when my phone buzzed with an incoming call from the president secretary.
"Amelia, the president needs to see you in the oval office immediately," she said and cut the call.
My heart skipped a beat,"what could the president need me for," I asked myself as I stood up and smoothed my dress.
I took a deep breath and made my way to the president office.
I reached the office and knocked on the door gently, and a deep voice called out, "Enter."
I pushed open the door and entered into the office, then I saw Elsa, the secretary, standing beside the president, holding some document.
"Good afternoon, your excellency, You asked to see me."
"Yes, I did. Have a seat, he said." Then I sat down on one of the chairs.
"I have a special assignment for you," I heard him say.
My heartbeat skipped a little. "What assignment could he have installed for me,I don't even have enough experience of my job," I said to myself.
"Yes, your excellency," I said, trying to sound very fierce and formal.
The president leaned back on his chair, staring at me.
"I will explain everything to you, but first, can I get you a cup of coffee?"
I nodded, feeling very curious about the assignment, "Of course, sir, I'd love to have a cup of coffee."
The president pressed the red button on his desk, and then a moment later, a steward came into the office carrying a tray brewing two cups of steaming coffee.
The steward walked over to the president desk and handed him a cup of coffee. Then, the president gestured for the steward to hand me the other cup.
"Thanks," I said, collecting the coffee before the steward left.
The president cleared his throat and leaned forward, locking eyes with me.
"The task I have for you requires proper attention and observation," he said with a firm voice.
I felt a mix of fear and anticipation as the thought of messing up this unknown task came running into my mind.
"Yes, your excellency," I said, trying to be calm."
"I would like you to accompany me to a charity gala tonight. It's a high-profile event, and I need someone I could trust," he said, steepling his fingers together.
I was completely shocked, "This didn't even sound like what I'd expected the task to be.
"But your excellency, I have been in this job for just two weeks, and why would you pick me?" I said with curiosity, getting the better of me.
"Let just say you have the looks, which would be helpful tonight since my wife isn't around."
"Ok, sir, but what's the charity gala all about?"
"Hmm... that is a good question. It's all about children's hospitals."
"Ohh.. I see, then it did be my pleasure to accompany you, sir.
"Then get ready,I'd send a car to pick you up by 8."
"Ok, sir, I said and left the office.
~My office~
I jump up in excitement, "accompanying the president to an event is literally every woman's dream. Now let's see what the night has installed for us.
