The Appointed Secretary

Chapter 9

"Here's your coffee, John," Angela said.

"Thank you, Angela." He was that eager as he sips on it immediately.

"Can you make coffee for me, every Monday? I'll be always here at this time." He said.

"Sure, of course. By the way, who are you? I mean are you related to Adam?" Angela finally asked him to fill her curiosity about John, and he chuckled.

"Yes, he is my nephew." She was taken by surprise. They don't look alike though as she scans his face looking for similarities.

"Don't do that, are you interested in me?" John said seeing her act. His statement was the real surprise. Of course, not because he is already old, but she is just looking for similarities.

"Just kidding, Angela." He said seeing her constipated looking face. "By the way, I forgot to warn you, the attitude of my nephew."

Well, that thing shouldn't have forgotten John to tell Angela. Did he even like her coffee? That's what she didn't know. But she still feels good because Sandra and John like her coffee.

"So, from now on every Monday, I'll expect your coffee," John said and left. Angela headed back to her room and was surprised by the person sitting on her table.

Adam Green, her boss. Since when the table becomes the chair? Her thought eyeing the boss. Seeing her arrival he speaks.

"What makes you so long? Is John really that entertaining? Don't higher up your hope." And he smirked.

Excuse me? This man is accusing something here, but I was in my cool. She thought to talk back.

"Your uncle is not that bad, but he is not my type if you wanted to know." And she takes her seat. If she was not mistaken, he opened his mouth for second and closes it and now back to smirking.

"So, what do you want? Sir." Emphasizing the last word.

"I want the contract between the Green Enterprise and the Marsh. You forgot to send them."

Oh, my bad! She immediately looked for the file, and she was dead on her track because of the words he said lowly.

"Because you are excited to date with his son." He stated.

Why did he know about it?

"How did you know?" She voiced out the question in her head, but he was not answering her.

"I'm not dating him, Adam!" She shouted. She can't accept the accusation of his boss. Well, that was out of hand. She just shouted at her boss, but she was not feeling good, about how he assumed things.

"Did you just shout at me?" He said glaring and irritated.

"I'm sorry, I just don't like how you assumed things." She said honestly, but he finds it funny as his boss chuckled.

"How will I not assume if you dated his son?" He really insisted that date thing.

"I did not." She told him once again not shouting this time.

"You did." He still insisted. Yes, she agreed but not that they date. Cam and Gary maybe.

"I just agreed, but we really did not date." She said, knowing that he will not win against him.

"See, is it hard to admit that you are dating his son?" His smirk is back again and this time, she is already pissed at the impossible man.

Why does he care anyway? Yeah, I forgot this is his company. Angela tried not to glare at her boss.

"Fine, but I just did it so the contract will be signed that day." She should not say that but it was already late and Adam is already glaring at her.

"What?" He sounds angry now.

Angela told Ernest's condition, it's his company after all.

-

"What made Adam's panty in a twist?" Sandra said as they headed down to the 7th floor for lunch.

"I didn't know he wears one." She said laughing. But it was not new to Sandra, Adam is always like that.

"Finally!" Cam said already seated on their usual spot.

"Hello!" Angela said as she put her food on the table. Their lunch is all about Cam and Gary, they are really into it. Well, good thing it was not her anymore and sure they are cute together. They ended their one hour lunch, and they went back to work.

She did sort files most of the time and her boss was silent as usual in his room.

She is already done and just waiting for her day to be over.

Well, if this will be like this? Then, this is better than my previous job but I don't want to be like this, as in not talking? Maybe, this is part of his plan kicking me out and I can manage it well, this time but for how long? She was lost in her own thought when her door cracks open. Adam.

"Hi, sir." She said as she sat properly.

"We have a meeting with Mr. Ben tomorrow." He said and she butted in.

"Oh, the golf…" Remembering her fun experienced.

"I'm not done talking." Oh, she forgot about his nice attitude so she keeps quiet.

"Wear something nice." He said leaving the room. Oh, that was detailed. She remembered, the last time he was telling her to wear something nice, and she ended up wearing heels on the golf field.

She shook her head in disbelief. Why did her boss behave like that? If only, he is not her boss then she already spanks his head.

Hey Sandra, any idea about the meeting tomorrow with Mr. Ben? Sandra is her hope to get the information she needs.

Hi darling, oh yes about the meeting it is just over lunch. Sandra's quick reply.

Just lunch and no playing sport this time? She confirmed.

I think so, his daughter Camile doesn't like it, and she is in the meeting as well. Sandra's response.

She then wondered what Camile looks like, but she didn't anymore ask Sandra and just said thank you. She immediately left the office after her work time is over. Good thing, she doesn't have much work to do for now and her boss is not giving her anything that would make Angela busy. He is making her lazy in the course of the month if he continues being like that.

The elevator stops at level 25 and Cam steps in and immediately spotted Angela.

"Any plan?" She asked. She knew what's in her head right now. Shopping it is! Her dresser needs to be stuffed.

The elevator is about to close when someone's hand stopping it. Sensed by the sensor, the elevator opens. Standing is the man she never has seen for a while.

"Angelo?" She called his name and the man was surprised to see Angela but not when he spotted Cam. Why she didn't mention it to me that Angelo is working here too?

"Angela." He said softly recognizing her. Why of all places, they will be meeting in Green Enterprise as if they are in their hometown now?
