Wwwwwaaaakkkkkeeeee uuuppppp
The sound of my alarm was loud enough to break my slumber.
I rubbed my eyes and looked for my cellphone which was on my bedside.
I switched off my alarm and went to bathroom.
I did the rituals and started to get ready for my office.
They say that people dont love their job, they love their bosses and yes I love him.
He is 67 year old, the CEO of "The A&A corporation" having multiple sister companies.
And being working with its founder, I got the chance to work in multiple areas.
I wore black pencil skirt with black blouse. Tied up my hair in a neat pony and wore black framed specs
Just perfect. Black never goes wrong...
I looked at the time and it was 8 AM.
So, I put my sandwhich which I made yesterday in oven, and hurriedly made coffee. Ate my sandwhich and ran off.
I have a car, so no need for any taxi thing for which I am really thankful as then I wouldn't be on time any day.
I reached to my office's parking area, parked the car and moved to elevator.
"Hey Daisy" I greeted the receptionist on my floor. She is my great friend.
I walked on the white tiles of my office which shines as the tube lights shine all over the floor..
"Si.. How are you love??" She returned my greeting.
" Trying not to be late as usual" - I laughed.
" It had been 5 years since you had joined here, and your habit of reaching just on time had not changed as yet " - she reminded me
"Old habits die hard love !! " - I smiled and winked
I moved towards my cubicle which was just in front of the door of Mr. Albert Nicholson, my boss.
I checked my emails and his emails and was preparing all the stuff when my boss enters.
I entered in his room with coffee in my hand
"How are you Sia" - He asked
"I am fine sir. How are you"- I replied
" I am fine too... Just getting old" - He laughed and coughed.
He is continuously coughing since one month. He went to doctors as well as far as I know.
"Any updates on your recent medical tests?" - I asked
"They all are normal" - He said while looking towards laptop which was weird because he should be happy if everything is normal. Whenever he gets happy he gives me such a big smile that makes my day.
I was expecting the same but nothing.
Indeed he had said many times that I am like his daughter. But still I know my boundaries. He is still my boss and I dont want to use his fatherly feelings in selfish way.
Therefore, I wont go deep into the matter.
" Sia, I have to discuss somethings with you" - He said with seriousness
" Yes Mr. Nicholson" - I took my pen and notebook out.
"You know Ashar right?" He asked
Everyone knows in this office about his son. So I replied affirmative.
"He will be joining office"
I stared him with such shock that I felt my eyes getting out of my sockets.
No way..
" Sia.. are you listening " - His words made me realized of my present.
"Yy-yyess Mr. Nicholson. " - Trying to hide my shock
"He will be dealing with few projects first and then will take my place. I want you to help him as you had worked with me since 5 yrs. So, I want you to assist him for few days" - he described his plans..
"Right sir" - tear forming near my eye and I can feel that
" I know Sia he is a tough man. But he is not bad. He is just strict ....
And rude, cold, harsh....
... He'll be here tomorrow. " - my boss gave me details on which projects I had to update him.
Cursing my fate in my heart,I prepared all the documents for him.
I will ask Mr.Nicholson to hire someone else soon.
Still atleast I have to spend 5 days working for him
I would leave no stone unturned this time.
I will not let him shout on me or insult me this time.
Looking forward to welcome you Mr. Asher.. And I smirked myself
