Rules
She woke up early the next morning to avoid being late on her first day. She looked around her apartment and sighed before walking out.
She had packed all the luggage she would be taking with her to Alex’s house last night; she went outside to call a cab, but noticed that a man was already waiting for her.
“Good morning, Ms. Loren. I’m Robert, your assigned chauffeur.” The man said. He moved to the backseat door and opened the door for her.
She had forgotten that he would send a driver over to her house that morning; she was a bit embarrassed when the man opened the door. “Thank you.” She said, bowing her head before entering the car.
The car stopped in front of the company. The people around were wondering whose car it was; they knew that it wasn’t the CEO’s car, and they were surprised and curious when they saw a girl getting out of the car.
She was embarrassed because of those people staring at her; she knew that the car was surely going to attract people’s attention because it was an expensive car.
To add to her embarrassment, the man quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her. “Thank you.” She said again, and quickly got out. She made a mental note to stop the man from opening the car door for her next time.
She entered the company and saw Jeff, who was already waiting for her at the entrance. “Good morning, Mr. Jeff.” She said, greeting the man with a smile.
“Good morning, Ms. Loren, How’re you doing?” Jeff asked.
“I’m fine, sir.” Ellie replied; she could feel that people were looking at her. What she wanted right then was to leave that place instantly. As if Jeff heard her thoughts, he said, “Let’s go; I have a lot of things to show you before Mr. Warren comes.”
In the elevator, he started by saying, “Mr. Warren likes his things to be in order. His schedules must be in order because he doesn’t like missing any of his meetings.” Jeff stated, looking at the girl beside him.
“And also, you read his meeting schedules to him every morning.” He continued. The elevator opened, and they walked along a path before he opened a door, revealing a kitchen that was bigger than her kitchen at home. “Kitchen in the office. Well, this is just great,” Ellie thought.
“Mr. Warren sometimes goes home very late at night, so he prefers having his dinner here in the office because he doesn’t like eating outside or food prepared by other people.”
“If he doesn’t eat food cooked by other people, do you mean that he cooks by himself?” She asked with a surprised face.
“Well, that’s right.” Jeff answered, looking at the girl, who was looking dumbfounded. I can’t believe he can’t eat other people’s food, but he ate that day. She said to herself. She remembered that he didn’t eat quite much; she was the one who almost finished the whole meal.
“The reason I brought you here is to show you how Mr. Warren’s coffee is prepared. He likes taking his coffee every morning, so you have to take his coffee to him after five minutes of him entering his office in the morning.”
“Remember. You must always get his coffee every morning. If you don’t, he won’t ask you, but just consider yourself fired.” Jeff explained. “I hope you understand me.” He asked to be sure she got what he was saying.
“Yes.” She answered, “And I’m sorry for taking this position. I mean, you’re his assistant, but I just came from nowhere and tried to collect the position.” She explained with a sad expression.
“Oh no. You don’t know how happy I am to finally see someone who can take the position.” He said. He was happy that he would be free from him, but he couldn’t help but feel pity for the girl.
“She will be fine, I guess.” He thought; he wondered why the CEO insisted on putting her office on the last floor, even when he was not on the same floor with him. That made him think that something was going on between them.
After explaining a few things to her, he showed her her office, which was opposite the CEO’s office. The only thing separating them was the glass wall in the CEO’s office. She was sure that the CEO would be able to see her every time she worked. Jeff checked his wristwatch and told her it was time to make the CEO’s coffee.
She was a bit scared to go to his office alone, but she mustered up her courage, made the coffee, and went to his office. She knocked lightly and opened the door when she heard him say, “Come in.”
He heard a knock faintly on the door; he knew that she might be the one because his assistant never dares knock that way. “Come in.” He said without taking his eyes away from the door.
He saw her come in with a tray in her hands; he couldn’t take his eyes off her with the way she was looking so beautiful. She was wearing a long white-sleeve top with a knee-length black skirt, which brought out her shape. Her hair was tied neatly to the back. “Has she always been this beautiful?” He thought.
“Good morning, sir.” She greeted him but did not get a reply. She noticed that he was just staring at her in a weird way.
She dropped the coffee on his table and cleared her throat to get his attention back.
“I see you’ve started working hard as a good assistant.” He said with a teasing smile on his face. He took the coffee and sipped a little before dropping it back on the table. “You even make a good coffee. That’s good,” he said.
“Thank you.” Ellie replied, not knowing what to say. He was about to say another thing when he heard a knock on the door, and Jeff walked in.
“Good morning, sir.” He greeted him, holding a file in his hands.
“What are you doing here?” He asked in annoyance; he was annoyed that he had disrupted him while he was talking to Ellie.
“I’m sorry, sir. I’m here to read your meeting schedule for today. He said.
“Why? Why not let her do it instead?” He asked, turning to Ellie with a smile.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
