My New Boss

Chapter 1- Meet Cute

"Zara I need to see you in my office"

I tapped on his door and walked in. He was looking through a file on his desk. After about five minutes of standing there with him not saying anything I got annoyed. "You wanted to see me sir?"

"Yea I need you to run these contracts to Walt & Wilson. They need to be signed today, so wait for them and bring them back. When you get back I need you to sort and file these" he said handing me a stack of papers.

" Wait what? These are files for accounting that should have been done."

" Well why weren't they?"

" Why would I know? I'm not in the accounting department. You should check with Sharon Mills."

" Well I'm telling you to get it done. Got it?"

"Fine" I said snatching the contracts off his desk and walking out his office.

When I got to Walt & Wilson I checked in with security and took the elevator to the 11th floor.

"Hey Cheryl, how's it going. I'm bringing these contracts for your boss to sign."

"Sure it'll be about a 15 minute wait."

"Okay, I'll be in Lisa's office." Lisa is my best friend we grew up together. She's been working for Walt & Wilson for the past 3 years.

"Hey Zara, what are you doing here?"

" I'm on a errand for my jerk of a boss."

" What, I never heard you talk about Mr. C like that."

" Not Mr. C, well technically he is but it's his son Vincent. Mr. C is taking a leave so his son Vincent is taking over, he's a jerk. I swear I want to punch him in the throat.

"Hahaha, he can't be that bad."

" Well he is, he's rude and now he has me doing Sharon's work."

" Dang girl, well it's a good thing you stopped by, I was going to see if you wanted go out for some drinks tonight. You seem like you need it.

" Girl I definitely do, but I'm having dinner at the Covelli's tonight. How about we go to Mystique's tomorrow night, Tasha has been wanting to go back there for a while. "

"Cool, but you're designated driver."

"Yea I figured that much. I'll talk to you later girl."

By the time I got back to the office it was 3:45 and I still had to do Sharon's work. Yea I was definitely looking forward to dinner because I was starving, since I worked through my lunch. Having finished filing I was about to leave for the day when Vincent walked into my office. " Good, glad to see you got that done, I was thinking....."

"Is that the reason for the beads of sweat" I mumbled

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing continue please"

" I wanted you stay late and...."

" Sorry but I can't, I already worked through my lunch and I'm not about to miss my dinner plans."

"I'm sure whoever he is can wait.

" Goodnight Vincent I said before he could open his mouth.

" Zara you do know I'm your boss" he said following me to the elevator "and you are aware that I can fire you?"

" Vincent you do you know that I don't give two craps and you are aware that as of right now your father is the only person that can fire me. Goodnight." I said and stepped onto the elevator.
