Hyde the Perfect Secretary
"Sir--"
"Get. out!" Two words spoken in a soft manner but the voice that speak with it carried out a heavy weight of rage, enough to make the listener running off scared in her pair of red heels.
The secretary left Keikazu Li Isles's office while crying, after being told off. For the nth time around, the latest secretary, Jennie Garth has by far set a record breaking fifty minutes of attending her first day of work only to be fired as soon as she upset the stoic boss.
"That's like the 20th secretary you had this month, brother" Niro Lyn Isles, K's younger brother commented, sympathizing with the poor secretary that is at the same exact moment is already jobless.
Keikazu or most known as the alphabet or one letter man 'K' by his employees just looked at his brother and got back to the documents he's reading thoroughly.
"I don't want stupid people in my company, Niro. Especially for a secretary, who's job is to look after the boss. You saw how that woman spilled the coffee she made ON THE DOCUMENTS, I can't tolerate such clumsy behavior."
Niro shrugged, snorting at his brother's usual sentiments. "Oh, well your company's HR department should get double the salary for all the trouble they have to go through just with finding a suitable secretary for you. You're so much work, brother! Haha"
K glared at Niro not because of his brother's taunting rather it is because he cannot deny that that's exactly who he is.
The young bachelor in his early twenties, K is known to be an aloof person and is completely only focused on his work. K doesn't entertain the idea of mistakes and half-hearted outcomes, he wants things done right and precise which will show great results that should impress everyone. One more thing he's known of is having a very HIGH STANDARD when it comes to choosing a secretary. The past secretaries that served the stoic billionaire all endedn up leaving on their own accord after getting scolded once or in different scenarios, they couldn't keep up with K's intimidating aura aside from that, a complete workaholic.
Niro understood that he's supposed to stop teasing his brother once he already pointed his gun at you, hitting him with his own bullet which is for Niro, it is his brother's legendary death glare. He got up from his seat to take his leave.
"I really do hope you could find a perfect secretary, brother~ but if only you could lower your standard or you might end up secretary-less"
Niro left after saying that as he still have to go back to his University, leaving K in deep thought. Will he be able to find a perfect secretary? Someone who could withstand his perfectionist personality?
Keikazu called the line of the HR department.
"Good morning, sir"
"Hire me a new secretary, someone who's just not effective at their work but could also be efficient"
"U-uh, what about your secretary miss Jennie--"
"I fired her. She spilled coffee on my documents."
"W-well, okay sir, we'll get to it"
He was about to hang up the call when he immediately spoke again.
"One more thing, please no more stupid and clumsy secretary."
Then he finally ended the call after that request or more on, an order.
Lowering his standard?
What a joke.
What K need is someone who would perfectly suit not just the job but his high standard as well, so nothing would get in the way of his work.
__________
Keikazu Li Isles is having a morning jog around his village's neighborhood, this is his daily routine before going to his company.
He sat at one of the benches to catch his breath first, he woke up quite late today than his usual time habit of waking up so he doesn't have a spare time for breakfast. He just thought of this but an idea clicked on his head. He fished out his phone from his track suit's pocket and dialed a newly saved number on his contact list.
*Calling..
"Hello? Good morning, sir" an enthusiastic voice greeted him as soon as the person he called picked up.
"Get me breakfast at the restaurant near our company, hmm.." K looked at the time in his phone "I'll be arriving for about 30 minutes, I also want to have a copy of my schedule for today. Prepare that." he ordered and hang up once he was done talking without waiting for the reply of his secretary.
His secretary on the other hand, looked at the screen of his phone.
"Unbelievable!"
He still have about an hour to spend for his sleep before having to prepare for his work time but he was awoken by a phone call and was ordered to get breakfast by his boss?
"This tyrant!" He cried out.
It appears that the rumor of how strict and bossy the one letter man aka their boss is appears to actually be a hundred percent hard truth. Hyde is the newly-hired secretary and he's been working for him for no more than just a week but he could testify how annoying their CEO's personality is!
Well he have no time to list down all his boss's bad habits and expose him, he need to get ready as per his boss's instruction, he will arrive at the office in 30 minutes and Hyde could only do nothing else but sigh as he made his way inside his bathroom to take a shower. Today is another battlefield for him, under the supervision of the stoic boss.
K WALKED to the office of the department of Personnel Management where inside, his office is also located to. His company which is known as Times Corporation has more than a hundred employees that were break down into different positions and offices, his company's building is standing tall at 15 floors and besides from his office inside the department of Personnel Management, his own personal space at the same time a small penthouse is located at the top of the building.
When Keikazu stepped inside the office to start his usual day at work, the giant aquarium that is placed near the entrance of the office caught his attention.
"A new fish has been added to the family" he exclaimed while watching the newcomer swim its way in that big aquarium.
K's forehead creased the more he watch the new fish as its thin figure suddenly bloated, it kind of reminded him of something.. or maybe someone?
"Sir!" K turned his gaze at his newly-hired secretary who just came in.
"Where is my food?" he asked because he wanted to know if the new secretary is of efficient work, if he came earlier than the boss did.
Hyde smiled before answering "It's already prepped in the mini kitchen inside your office sir. The notepad that your schedule was listed to is already in your desk too" and K swear that smile appearing in his secretary's face made a bright and sunshine aura surround him.
K just nodded, glancing at the pufferfish in the water tank before walking away to enter his own office and to eat his breakfast prepared by the newly-hired secretary. A small smile made its way to his lips as he remembers Hyde, his secretary who appears to be sensible and effective as an employee. He felt him followed through.
His little secretary has a habit of puffing air into his mouth and going nom nom, making a chewing gesture but with an empty mouth. And K just thought that pufferfish and his little secretary kind of resemble each other especially with his secretary's doe like eyes. It's reminding K of Hyde.
With that thought in mind, K gazed at Hyde who's obediently following behind him before averting his gaze infront of the direction he's walking to. Maybe this time K won't have to trouble himself of finding another secretary because Hyde seem to perfectly suit his standard of how a secretary should be.
And so the busy morning of reading and signing documents in the office started.
Hyde has his own table inside the CEO's office, he sat there and gone through his own work.
At exactly 9:00 in the morning, they had to attend an investor's meeting, Hyde has prepared everything they needed beforehand, he's also chosen a fancy restaurant to have the meeting over a late breakfast in which mr. Greyson, the investor who owns S Trading Company, personally requested from them.
"This person is quite picky to his affiliates, it took me a month before I could convince him to have this meeting so make sure everything goes well, without any single mistake, secretary Hyde. I hope we're clear"
K warned firmly while putting on his seatbelt, his secretary will drive the car for him.
"Affirmative sir." Hyde replied with a proud grin on his lips before taking off.
He's planned every step, clear and concise so what would go wrong?
