"Good morning Sir"
"Good morning Louis, what can I do for you?" I ask my secretary without looking up from the pile of work I have on my desk.
"I have news about the OLD DENNIS"
"Oh yeah, well I'm eager but really busy at the moment... write it down and drop it on my desk before lunch break"
"Ok sir"
Work has been hectic this past few weeks, I hardly have time for my self anymore. I badly needed a PA or I'm gonna take a break with or without one.
The telephone rang and I heave an angry sigh before picking the call.
"What?" I asked angrily
"Look if you want to blab about something with I'm clearly not interested in, you could call my secretary"
This days everything was pissing me off, I was going insane. I needed a break
As of recent I was taking anger management classes, but it's not going so well so I stopped. I swear I can't keep up with some annoying person trying to contain your own anger.
Someone barges into my office and there's only two people that doesn't know that knocking exists
Mom and my best friend!
I look up irritated and like I said, it's one of them.
"Mom how can I help you?"
"Well you don't have to be harsh about everything son, came to inform you that I'll be going to Paris for the weekend"
"Well why?"
"Because mommy needs a break" she smiles
"Seriously? You need a break? Seriously? I'm literally going crazy in this office and the work is fucking too much. And I can't take it anymore but I'm not allowed to go on a break??"
"Seriously, what exactly have you been doing that makes you think you need a break? Huh mom?"
"Oh son, you sure you still attending your classes?"
"Mom if you know you are gonna get me pissed off, you better just leave and go on your freaking vacation it's none of my business okay?"
She rolls her eyes and leaves. Urgghhh they all piss me off.
There was a knock on the door before Louis came walking in.
"Louis? If what you came to say isn't important enough, you could as well save yourself and get out"
Uhhmm sir, I wanted to tell you that the interview with the applicants for the post of the personal assistant has been carried out, two was sent home and the other two has another interview with Mr Rhodes"
"Oh well that's good news coz practically I'm loosing it"
"So when do I finally get a PA?"
"According to Mr Rhodes, he will choose one before the end of today then I'll send a message to the lucky one and by Monday the person could start"
"Louis dear, Monday is too far, the person should start tomorrow"
"Okay sir"
"Now get out"
"Oh come dear"
"Yes sir?" She turns around
I stand up from my chair "pack this other paper works plus the news you said you had for me and take it to the car, I'm leaving early, any further apartment should be postponed till tomorrow"
"But sir?"
"Look Louis I'm at the verge of loosing my goddamn temper and you don't want me to loose it on you, do you have a problem with me leaving early?" My furrow my eyebrows together
"Of course not sir"
"Good now do as I say" I immediately walk out of the office to my car.

"Mercy where the hell are you?" I roll my eyes and heave a sigh. In as much as I was anxious I was also tired and needed to rest and as it stands now, Mercy is depriving me of that rest as she isn't coming now.
I heard someone shouting, I looked back and I saw some hot guy in a blue suit, his jacket in his hand, yelling at some guy in a black suit who faces down and don't dare look up.
"You know what? Y'all are worsening my state right now, get out of this place and never come back. You are fired.
And if you want to be able to work anywhere in this country you better don't beg me" He immediately walks away and into a black Bentley.
Did he just fire someone just like that? Who could he be?
"Hey bitch, come on in" Finally Mercy is here.
"How was the interview Char?" Mercy asks
"Well as far as I know, I tried my best and I hope for the best" I say as I loose the bun and let my light brown long hair down. I take off my lashes, throw my heels across the room and remove the jacket.
I was so scared and anxious, I couldn't just wait for the result.
I sit in front of the mirror and heave a sigh. "I hope it goes well" I whisper to myself.
Mercy puts a hand on my shoulder from behind. "It's okay Char, if the job is for you, you'll get it." She smiles reassuringly.
"I just wanna help you out you know, I don't want you being the only one doing everything. You letting me stay here is enough, you doing way too much, and I just wanna help" I felt the tears well up in my eyes.
"Oh hell no Charlotte, I do not want you talking like that, you are gonna piss me off. You don't owe me anything, you are my best friend and I know that if I was in your shoes, you would do same right?" I nod my head as the tears come rolling down.
"That's it baby, we are best friends and we'll always be there for each other okay?"
"Okay" I whisper and give her a small smile.
"And if you are destined to get this job, then you will okay?" I nod
"That's my baby girl, now cheer up"
I clean the tears on my face and smile. My phone rings in my bag.
I go over to pick it up.
It's Louis, the secretary.
"Oh my God, Mercy it's the secretary, it's the secretary!" I say jumping up and down.
"I can't pick I'm so scared!" I say again.
"Oh Char don't be a butthead and pick the damn call"
"Okay okay" I pick the call and whisper a "hello"
"Hello I'm speaking with Miss Charlotte Britts right?"
"Yes yes"
"Uhm okay congratulations you got the job!"
"Oh my Goddddd yessss yessss !!"
"Uhm Miss Britts?"
"Shut the fuck up Char, she's not done" Mercy said laughing.
"Oh sorry"
"Uhm you are supposed to start by Monday but the boss, Mr Baker said otherwise,you will have to start tomorrow, you got a problem with that?"
Mercy shook her head so hard
"Not at all"
"Okay then, you have to report to work tomorrow by 7:30am, I sent you an email now, mean while when you get to work tomorrow, report to my office first so I could take you myself to see the boss okay?"
"Of course sure sure thank you so much"
"You're welcome Miss Britts"
"See you tomorrow!"
As soon as I dropped the call, and as if Mercy knew what I was about to do, we jumped on each other shouting on top of our voices.
Immediately Mercy withdraw from the hug with furrowed eyebrows .
"What?"
"We need to go shopping now!" And before I could object she already drew me outta the house.
Get a friend like mine who will be more happy for your fortune than you are!
