"You are to make sure the C.E.O's office is spotless every morning, deliver his favorite coffee every morning before he gets to the office, manage the C.E.O's schedule and appointments, and you should be thirty minutes earlier than the normal situated time," Charles said.
He didn't even spare Alexis a glance. His eyes were glued to the note pad in his hands has the words rolled out of his mouth.
"Oookay"Alexis said dragging the word. Charles finally looked at her.
"Come with me"Charles said and started walking forward, with Alexis following closely behind. They entered into the C.E.O's office. The office was a spacious one with floor to ceiling windows, a long curved office table,with a swivel office chair behind it. Then two office chair for visitors in front. A long sofa and a coffee table in front with a large plasma tv and floor to ceiling book shelf filled with books. The office looked magnificent.
Charles walked over to the book shelf, and Alexis followed. Charles picked a book and handed it Alexis, he started adding and adding. "This are the books you'll need to read and understand for your job" Charles said when he finished picking the books. The books in Alexis hand covered up her face. And they were heavy, she could hardly stand.
"That would be all for now, you can leave you can start on Monday, I've shown you your office and I've given you the official staff I.D card."Charles said. Alexis was about to leave struggling with the books in her hand. "One more thing""Try so hard not to get on the C.E.O's bad side."
It's Friday afternoon Alexis has been sitting in the lounge at the first floor of her apartment building waiting for Mia for the past One hour." What the hell!"Alexis muttered . Finally she walked through the door heading towards Alexis walking like the slay queen she is.
"Sorry I came late I had an impromptu shoot this morning" Mia said settling down on the chair opposite her.
"So did you get the job?" She asked. Their was silence for while.
"Yes I did" Alexis said breaking the silence.
"You did!!"Mia exclaimed with surprise.
"Don't get your hopes to high I might get fired after a day or two like all other assistant" Alexis said nonchalantly.
"No you won't, I believe in you" Mia said with a broad smile. Mia was incredibly beautiful. With her ocean blue attractive eyes. Her light fair skin, with her brown thick long hair that she packed up and her body with all the curves. It totally makes sense that she is a Victoria secret model. Alexis and Mia practically grew up together. Attended the same kindergarten , middle school and highschool but different college. Alexis majored in business in NYU and Mia went to a model school.
"It's not about belief. You have no idea who I'm working with, a ruthless cold hearted C.E.O who doesn't give a fuck about anybody, so I'm pretty sure I'll have been given the boot by Tuesday"Alexis said.
"You have so little faith in yourself"Mia said
"Ok let's make a bet, if you are not given the boot by Tuesday or by the end of the week. I win so I get to do whatever I want with you and IF,if you are fired by Tuesday you get to do whatever you want with me" Mia said. "Deal?" Alexis thought about it for a while.
"Deal" She said and they shook hands. 'I'm pretty sure I ain't gonna last a day there' Alexis thought.
"Why don't we leave here and go grab some coffee?" "On me"Mia said
"Ok"
"How the fuck could you mess this up?" Alejandro shouted at the top of his voice. They were at the top floor in his office at the headquarters in Mexico. Apparently his Mexican business assistant had screwed up a contract making them loose millions. Not like it was going to affect them though.
"I'm so sorry sir. It was a mistake. I didn't go over the contract again after drafting it" The assistant tried explaining. Heads bowed, he was shaking. Alejandro walked up to him. He was towering over the assistant. Which didn't help the assistant at all. Alejandro grabbed the assistant by the jaw, squeezing it. Alejandro chuckled, which sounded deadly.
"Mistake, I don't accept mistakes, now listen up, you have five minutes to pack up your stuffs and head to HR department. You are fired." He said releasing his jaw. He applied pressure in doing that simple act making the assistant stagger back a little. Alejandro moved back heading towards his desk. The assistant dropped on his knees.
"Sir please, you can't do this to me, I just started, I have a family to fend for, Sir please."The assistant begged with tears dropping like waterfall.
"Who gives a fuck about your family, I repeat you have five seconds to leave or your family wouldn't hear from you again.""NOW LEAVE"He shouted. Which frightened the assistant who got up on his feet quickly and ran out. Alejandro sat down on his office chair, brought out a phone and called someone. "What's up dude?" The receiver asked.
"When are you coming back?" Alejandro asked straight up to the point.
"What's up, hate your assistants already?"The receiver asked.
"Brandon they keep fucking up, everything." Alejandro said and groaned.
"Oh that reminds me. Charles said he got you a new female assistant in New York" Brandon announced.
Alejandro groaned."Another one. I'm pretty sure she's going to be like the rest, all they do is gawk at me and forget their work, It annoys me."
"Well Charles think this one is promising." Brandon said.
"That's what he says everytime. Dude I know you are not my assistant or anything but I can't wait for you to be back. I NEED YOUR HELP" Alejandro said.
"I'll soon be done here just need to wrap up things, but it's nice to be away from your cold annoying ass sometimes. I need that break, dealing with your mood swings can be work." Brandon said.
"Whatever" Alejandro said rolling his eyes. The intercom on Alejandro's table vibrated. He pressed a button. "Speak " He commanded coldly.
"Sir you have a visitor." A female voice boomed out of the receiver.
"Send them in" He said. The receiver beeped.
"You really need to learn how to talk nicely to your workers."Brandon said. Alejandro scoffed.
"Not happening" " Dude I got to go. Catch you later." Alejandro said
"Ok. Bye" Brandon said and Alejandro ended the call.
"What do you think about this dress?" Mia asked showing the dress to Alexis. They went shopping on a warm Saturday afternoon for new work clothings, for Alexis.
"Am I supposed to wear that to work?" Alexis asked glancing at the dress once then taking her eyes off it to look at other dresses. It was a short black sleeveless dress.
"Yeah. What's wrong with it?"Mia asked putting the dress back.
"I'm pretty sure I'm going there to work, not to seduce my boss"Alexis said sarcastically
"Whereas you know my style of clothing"
"Yeah, yeah whatever. I know you like looking like a female boss."Mia said in a tired tone.
"Let's go to the suit and pants section" Alexis said
In a blink of an eye it was Monday morning already. Alexis had already gotten to work as expected. And she has delivered the C.E.O's morning coffee. Now all she was waiting for is an order to do something .
"Alexis, The C.E.O requests for your presence in his office." Charles said immediately he entered Alexis office. Alexis stood up immediately adjusted her suit and she followed Charles out.
"What would you like me to do today?" Alexis asked in the most formal voice.
"For today just go through each file of our debtors, creditors and our competitors, I know you can't mug all that up, but just remember the main ones, secondly arrange all the disorganized file, that was sent to you and notify the of PR that Romano software company are selling shares, they should notify the public, and also I am to speak at a press conference about Romano software company, PR should have emailed the speech to you, so just recheck it and edit it, that's it for now, you may leave." Alejandro said in one breath.
'Oh my God. I just started' Alexis thought.
"Alright Mr. Romano." Alexis said and she left Alejandro's office.
