Innocently Falling

CHAPTER 30: The Boss

The following week he adjusted my shift our out is until 4pm only. But note this only on our floor. The rest is at 5pm. Weird right?

Three months ago I was in my house relaxing when he suddenly calls my phone. He never calls me unless it is an emergency.

He wants to cancel all his schedules for a few weeks because his "fiancè" was sick.

He has a fiancè? I reminded him that we have a meeting in a few days. It is an important one. I was shock when he told me he'd rather loose that deal than leave his fiancè.

Wow. Whoever this woman she is a special one. We negotiated this deal for months and he is just throwing it away just because of this woman. It is a $100 million deal!

For the rest of the week I just sent him the emails that he needed to respond and reschedule all his meetings.

Some of our directors are asking why Boss was absent for a week. I just told them that our Boss was out of the country.
I can not tell them the real reason because Mr. Rosen-Hower was a very private person. Even the media only knows the basic information about him.

After a week he came back and I am tempted to ask him about his fiancè but I know it will cost my job so I just shut up.

Then another unusual thing happened.
He got suddenly agitated and went down to I don't know what floor after a few minutes he came back accompanied by the woman inside the printing room.

I did not know what is happening because his office was soundproof.

The same woman went out of his office looking very sullen. He probably fired her.

When I was suppose to enter his office to give him his documents I suddenly backs out because I heard a glimpse of  his conversation on his phone. It goes like this. "She what?! That woman will be the death of me. Send the location to Liam and I'll be there in a few minutes."
After that he strode out of his office without any notification on where he is going.

He went back after an hour in time for his next meeting.

For the next few days he is going home earlier than expected which is very surprising.

I mean I am not complaining at all since the boss is goes home early I am going home too! No need to stay in the office.

And then I saw HER. I know immediately that she is the reason why our boss is acting strange.

The same woman in the printing room. She was in the receptionist and seems looking for something or SOMEONE.

Our receptionist on this floor did not allow her to go further BUT I will rescue her.

I approach her and introduce myself to her. Her name was Ella. She seems very timid and innocent. Opposite to our cold and demanding boss.

Since boss is in a meeting I guide her inside boss's office. He leaves it open when he is in a meeting I don't know why and I never ask.

I let her sat on the couch and went out of the room. I'll call Mr. Rosen-Hower and see what will happen. He doesn't want any interruptions at all when he is in a meeting.
