First day at job

Jia Davis

"Good morning Mr. Carter, here is your coffee and here are your croissants." I said going in my boss's office.

"Ah! I was just waiting for you. You are a blessing" he beamed.

My boss, Mr. Jeff Carter, pampered me like his child. He was in his early sixties, but had the enthusiasm of six year old. I really felt sad for leaving him and this office which was like second home to me for last three years.

I then placed a white envelope beside his coffee.

He looked puzzle at me, "what is this, a love letter?" He asked mischievously. That made me smile

"You wish" I said, acting snobbish.

"Umm...it's a... "

"Resignation letter??" He had opened the letter before I could inform him.

"You are leaving me" he was hurt, but I had to move on.

"Ya… actually… I got a new job, and you will be retired...and..." I almost felt like crying. There was a lump in my throat which restrained my vocal cords.

"Hey, I know you would be going one day, and I am ok with it" he assured me and came towards me.

"Really?" I asked relieved.

"Yes and what do you keep saying....ah Hakuna matata...no worries." I went and hugged him.

"So where did you get the job."

"At Anderson group, I will be working with Mr. Viktor Anderson." I said with proud

"Oh great, congratulations. He is a nice fellow." He said, going back to his seat.

"You know him?" I thought no one knows him.

"Ya, he doesn't come forward in public, but everyone knows him in business circle.

"I will be missing you"  he said.

The whole week was hectic, I had to hand over all my work to Isabella. We were even working on Saturday.

"Hey! What are you doing here today" I heard someone say, and I looked up.

Ah! The devil himself.

"Mr. Miller." My boss's son-in-law, he hardly came to office, what is he doing here, and who is that plastic doll with him? Is he cheating on his wife? Poor girl! I still don't know what she saw in him.

"I had some urgent work" I said.

"That's great, I like your... dedication towards work. In a matter of time you will be mine.... I mean, my PA, and we will be doing some wonderful things together." He said, looking at me with a smirk

"Sure why not, I am waiting for that day" I said with all the enthusiasm I could bring up.

Take that you pathetic, dumbas* pervert. Just keep dreaming.

I left from office giving him a sweet smile. That made me gag. Hakuna matata

On Sunday, late in the evening, I prepared a list of the things I remember from Mrs Hudson.

8:00 - be at office (as my boss said)

7:45 - coffee at his desk (without cream and without sugar) Eww! Who drinks such coffee?

7:30 - arrange his table.

8:00 - check mail for work

1:00 - order lunch

12:00 - make warm lemon water.....

I scratched my head. Things look a bit jumbled up here....but I will figure out tomorrow. I stretched my arms, feeling sleepy. Tomorrow will be a new start of my professional life.

Next day I was at my desk at 5 minutes before 8 am and extremely proud of myself to make it before time and the best part, My boss had not arrived. I went to make his coffee. My first day at work made me excited. I will be making new friends and be around Richie as much as possible. I blushed at that thought.

I looked at the gruesome black liquid emitting waves of vapors and smelling bitter enough to make me gag.

Well, hope he survives after this. I placed coffee on his table and just then Mr. Viktor Anderson came in looking dapper in his black suit. If you avoid those scars, he was damn handsome. He looked at me with a strange expression. Is he annoyed?..angry? Furious??

I gave him a fabulous smile and wished him morning, he kept staring at me and my smile faded with each passing second, He saw coffee on the table and clenched his jaw. I was hell confused. I told my heart everything is ok, not to worry, but it kept thumping, wishing to vanish in air.

One sip of the coffee and he YELLED!
