Emily's Pov
The next morning, i had arrived at the office wearing a white knee length gown with a stiletto heels and a matching bag. I walked elegantly to my new office and dropped the documents on my desks. I had reviewed all the documents and i was ready to discuss them with Mr. Brian.
Just then Josh entered with a smile on his face.
"Good Morning Emily" he greeted.
"Good Morning Josh" I replied.
"You look elegant " he complimented and i smiled.
"Thanks, wanted to look ready for my first day at work". I said.
"That's good. by the way the CEO is waiting for you".
I took a deep breath, smoothed out my dress and followed Josh to Mr Brian's office. The door was open and Brian was sitting behind his desk, looking so good and every inch of him smelled power. His office was amazing, each and every design was spectacular.
" Good Morning Sir " I greeted.
"Morning Emily " He said without even looking up.
"I believe you've reviewed the documents as told"? he said in a deep commanding way.
"Yes sir". I replied suddenly feeling intimidated.
"Good. how about my schedules "? he asked.
"I quickly cross-check and get back to you immediately sir" I replied.
"Do that quickly "
I walked out and went to check his schedules for the day, I picked it up and was close to his office when i overheard him and Josh talking.
"I expect you to have work on a new marketing strategy for the presentation Josh" He said.
"I'm trying my best sir, I'll come up with something innovative sir". Josh replied.
I entered not wanting to get caught eavesdropping.
"Here they are sir" I said immediately i entered.
" Josh, I want to see a presentation by tomorrow, no more excuses "
"Yes sir". Josh said and left.
" Read them to me".
"You have a meeting with one Mr Lee and groups by exactly 12 noon sir...." I said.
" I have to attend to something else by 12, reschedule the meeting ". he said.
" ok sir". I replied.
"You know what, I'll be going out once I'm back let me know my next schedule " he said.
" Alright sir" I said waiting for another order from him. But he was kept typing whatever he was doing not taking his eyes from the screen. i decided to study his features then, His hair was a bit messy giving him that prince-charming look, his face was like that of a new born baby so small and cute then there was his lips, so perfectly.....
"Emily"!!!
"Sir" I quickly jotted out of my thought.
" What are you doing? Leave" He demanded and i quickly rushed out. Gosh!! That was intense! what was i even thinking checking my boss out"
I sat on my table reflecting on what happened earlier. I had been so caught up staring at my boss features that i had forgotten where i was and what i was doing, it was like i was in a trance or something.
I felt a bit embarrassed as i thought about it. What was wrong with me? I was his secretary, not some lovesick teenage schoolgirl, I needed to get my act together and focus on my job.
Just then Josh walked in " Hi there".
" Hey Josh" I greeted.
" feeling overwhelmed already "? he asked
" Not much" I replied.
" Just try and relax and try to focus " he advised.
" Thanks" I said. "At least someone is being friendly around here, the rest looks like they want to eat me up". I added and he chuckled
" it's not easy being the ceo's secretary, all the women wants to be close to him and then you showed up out of the blue" he said.
" Well, I don't blame them he's cute though " I replied.
" You fancy the ceo too"?
" Don't even dare! I don't have a crush on him if that's what you mean" I said with a big smile
" Just asking " he said and chuckled.
" I overheard Mr Brian saying something about a marketing strategy, what's that for"? I asked changing the subject.
" Well, it's a project I'm working on, so far it's not going well " He said.
" Do you mind if i take a look? I mean i can help. I know alot about these things" I said and i could feel his hesitation for a while.
" Alright but Mr Brian can't find out that i showed you, okay?" He said and i nodded.
" Come with me " He said and i gladly did.
When we arrived at his office, Josh closed the door behind us and motioned for me to take a sit.
"Okay so the project is for one of our biggest clients", he began, " and they're looking for a new marketing strategy to lunch their latest products ".
He handed me a folder filled with document and research, and I began to flip through it, scanning the pages for key information. As I read, I couldn't help but notice that the strategy they had outlined so far was underwhelming.
" I see what you mean" I said looking up at josh. " this strategy is pretty basic, what's the goal here"? I asked.
Josh nodded, looking relieved that i understood his concerns.
" Exactly! The goal is to create like a buzz around the product, but the strategy they've outlined so far is just not going to work.
I nodded, my mind were full with idea but i needed to to test them to be sure. " Give me few minutes to take a look at it properly and I'll get back to you ". I said.
"Are you sure you can come up with something "? he asked.
" I have tons of ideas already just need to test it " I replied and he smiled.
" Thanks Emily, I really appreciate " he said and i smiled and left.
Immediately i got to my office, i began to focus on it and started testing my ideas and after an hour i was done. I took a deep breath, gathered my notes and headed for Josh's office to share my plan.
I knocked on his door and he beckon on me to come in.
" Done already "? he asked with curiosity written all over his face.
I smiled feeling a sense of pride. " I've found a solution " I said and placed the notes on his table and began my explanation. Josh's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wow, Emily, this is incredible, one of the best plans ever. how did you come up with it"? he asked.
" Just something i happen to be good out".I replied
" You just saved me Emily,this presentation is due by tomorrow and you've saved my ass.let me buy you launch please " he said.
" No, really Josh i was just helping a friend " I said
" And this is my way of saying thank you. let me buy you lunch " He said
" Alright then" I replied with a smile.
