Living in Newyork was a challenge I didn't see coming . New York is a city filled with luxurious hotels , people with luxurious lifestyle , expensive restaurants and malls and in the center of the city is where my workplace is located; a company that is known for its involvement in every sector, the CEO Is one of the richest people in the world making the company the top in US and paet of the top 3 in the world and I happen to be working in the HR department
"Jessica can you stop daydreaming" alexia whispered
I wasnt" I argued
Well if you weren't you would have laughed when our Vp started her usual nusicance" she snorted
Okay, okay that's enough" our vp shouted " Everyone back to work"
I couldn't help but pity myself and also everyone in this department because we are been called weirdos and a waste of companies money by the other departments" I whispered to Alexia
"Well I cannot but agree with them, because our Vp is really a raging mad woman" Liam said moving his chair closer to me and alexia
"Mr Thomas I believe gisting is not what you are paid for right?" She yelled
"Yes ma'am" Liam replied
Now get your asses back to work" she said as she glared at the 3 of us
"Yes ma'am" we chorused
This woman is clearly possessed, I can feel it" alexia whisper yelled
" Keep quiet the chief is heading towards us" I spoke
The chief of our department was the only one keeping us sane in that department and helping us escape the wrath of the ruthless Vp.
" Hello everyone" the chief greeted warmly as he entered.
" I'm so sorry if I have interrupted your work but I have something very important to request from you all" he said with a warm smile on his face.
"As you all know the executive meeting with the CEO is today and we executives of the company are all expected to be there with our personal assistant by our side, but unfortunately my PA as called on sick" he continued.
I could already feel alexia stiffen beside me and when I looked round at others, everyone had fear written on their face
"So I would really like if someone can volunteer"
Damien Knight who happens to be the CEO of Knight Industries was known for his ruthlessness to everyone , he was said to be a very cold and heartless person who doesn't care about others not to talk more of their feelings. He was known to be the most handsome man in the world but behind that handsomeness is a very cold heart. Being a PA to any executive is like committing suicide because you have to meet Mr Knight every month and you have the probability of even fired, because even breathing in the same room he is can get the person fired.
Anyone??
My mind immediately came back to what the chief was saying
"Any volunteer? "He asked again
"Sir do you mind if I choose someone?" Our Vp butted in
" No I don't mind, you can go ahead" he said with hope in his eyes
Immediately she was given the permission are eyes zoomed toward me, alexia and Liam
" Liam you go" She said and Liam looked up in horror.
"Ma I don't think I can , I have been feeling down since morning and I think I'm coming down with a flu" immediately after speaking he excused himself.
Immediately me and the Vp eyes came in contact the best thing that came out of her mouth was " Jessie you go then"
I tried finding an excuse but I couldn't so I just gave up and accepted defeat.
I couldn't say no, so I stood up reluctantly
I am so happy that you could render a helping hands toward me"chief smiled " let's quickly go before Mr Knight gets mad".
"Okay sir" I gritted out
" Let's go then" the chief smiled
I placed a fake smile on my face and followed him to the top floor while praying for this meeting to go successfully
We finally got to the CEO floor and walked towards the meeting room where other executive where filing in.
After every executive was sitted with their PA beside them a very handsome man entered the room and I immediately recognised him as Brian Kingston the secretary to the devil
"Good morning everyone, Mr Knight should be here anytime soon" immediately he finished talking a very handsome and hot man who was 6ft tall with a well proportional physique exuding confidence with a chiseled jaw , piercing blue eyes , black sleek hair came into the room and I immediately knew that was Damien Knight. In my 3 years if working here I have never seen this man so up close and he does no justice to the magazine because he is drop dead fucking gorgeous .
He strode towards his seat at the top of the table without acknowledging anyone and pulled back his chair to seat. Our chief was sitting next to his chair meaning I was very close to him.
And seeing I did something that turned my life around for the worst
I sneezed
.........
Immediately Damien turned to me with glaring eyes and I felt like been swallowed by the ground.
His face was void of any emotions and displayed no rage and while still under his glaring eyes I sneezed again.
Oh God , I'm about to die" I muttered
I could already see the consequence glaring back at me and that was me handing in my resignation letter or getting fired before the meeting.
" Sir something needs your attention outside" Brian whispered to him
" What is that?" He asked
"Elizabeth" that was the only reply Brian before he stood up with rage emitting from his body making me pity whosoever this Elizabeth was.
Not too long after he left the room , we all heard his booming voice from outside.
"Get her out of my company right now" he shouted
Everyone present in the room was surprised because Damien never shows emotions but this woman triggered the unknown in him and made him mad. And his cold self is so much better than his angry self.
