Schooling Mr Bass

CHAPTER ONE

                   CHAPTER ONE

*

The Bass oil and Servicing Company stood like a gaint on tenth avenue, Brooksville , overshadowing the other buildings beside it as the building boldly reflected itself on its glass walls stretching all the way to the top.

As soon as his convoy drives in, the doors are open and he swings his legs down, alighting from his car. He fixes his cufflinks to his wrists and then buttons his suit, his fine black silky hair laid lazily on his head as he ran his fingers through it, someone picks his suitcase from the car and waits for him.

“Goodmorning sir” Betty, his Personal Assistant says coming towards him with a smile on her face as she takes his briefcase away from the attendant , she had an ipad in her hands and some files  .

“Morning Betty, what’s my schedule like today” he walks away from the car, the doors slide open for him to enter the building , he nods his head as people turn to greet him, the ladies smile more, he gives them a half smile. They enter into the elevator, he is listening as she talks.

“The meeting with the Marks industry by 10am, the conference call meeting with the president of Tsuki ventures has been moved for 12 noon. And oh, meetings with the staffs is by 9am, and then the new interns would be around by 1 for the briefing. Lunch for you afterwards, possible prospects for new projects with our sister company is by 3. Then you have a dinner reservation by six with Miss Veronica from the fashion industry, new suits fitting would be in an hour from now because he has to catch a flight back to get work done before weekend.  , and oh.. “ her voice fades as the elevator door closes and they go all the way up to the last floor.

The door opens and they step out of the lift,  and walk directly to a door with the name “Mr Bass, “ boldly written on it in Gold. He opens the door and walks in, before she walks in behind him, she turns

“Coffee please Sophie, “ she tells his secretary before she enters his office
He sits down, facing her ..his legs are crossed,

She goes on about the rest of his schedule, Sophie knocks on the door and enters, “Just the way you like it sir” she smiles at him as she placed the coffee on his table, he thanks her and takes a sip.

“Would there be anything else you want sir?” she lingers, he smiles and tells her a no, she excuses herself relunctantly , Betty rolls her eyes

“What’s the matter Betty?” he asks, leaning back on his chair, with a finger to his temple, watching her

“Oh nothing sir, it’s just that..can she be any less obvious?’’

“what do you mean??”

“Well…see the way she was practically gawking at you, I am sure if I had a magnifying glass I could literally see “Take me..here and now Mr Bass” ‘’’ she purrs, he smiles

“And how would you know that’s what she is thinking about Betty’’

“well because pffftt!! It’s obvious.

Have you ever asked yourself why we have more women coming to apply to work here, why they come dressed with tight skirts or dresses and make it a tad too short, and why they all fight to be on this top floor and close to your office? It’s so that they get to bump into you every now and then” she says

He smiles “Betty..if I didn’t know you better I would think you are jealous?”

“No sir I am not, I am just saying..’’

“Nothing Betty. I don’t pay you to analysis the female folks of this company and neither do I pay you to stand around and spew nonsensicals just because I smile a little and let you be free, or is it the fact there was a thing between us..which was just that, a thing, a fleeting moment, nothing more. Doesn’t give you the right to act as if you own me. You work for me Betty, you are NOT any other thing to me. The sooner you understand that the Better, and if you feel as though I am being unfair because I don’t care about your feelings, you can hand me you resignation letter within the hour. Afterall, it was a ‘Thing’ of mutual agreement and the tip you got afterwards was worthy enough so…”
