Our Eternal Love

FIRST DAY

FIRST DAY

I ran to the reception on my floor and asked the receptionist Kiara, I guess, about my desk as she was supposed to give me the tour and tell me the ropes of the work and quickly made my way towards it. I kept my purse and walked to Mr. Smith's cabin.

Not walked, I RAN.

"Save me Jesus" I prayed to god as I entered his cabin after knocking and hearing a come in.

"Good morning Sir." I wished him.

He was in there. Hence I was late. What the f**k!

"You're late Ms. Brown." He stated the obvious but I wasn't gonna give up without a fight. But I didn't know I could make it worse.

"Sir its 8:00. I think I am pretty good on time."

My stupid ass can't stop arguing now. Stop it Sophia.

"Ms. Brown I think you don't know the basic rule about being an assistant. Let me tell you then. See as an assistant you should reach before your boss not with your boss. You're supposed to keep a hot cup of coffee on my desk when I reach. Not the other way around."

"Sorry sir, it won't happen next time." It was better to just shut up and apologize. He was right. It was my fault.

"Better not or I will throw you out of this office. Now go get me a black coffee without sugar."

"Yes sir" I told Mr.Smith.

Walking out of the door, all I could think was how ruthless this man is.

Such a pain in the ass. He could've let me off the hook with a warning. There was no need to threaten me. Any way lets get him his coffee so that he can chill the heck out.

I asked Kiara about the cafeteria and headed there to make a cup for Calvin and one for me as I was starting to feel a little dizzy. While I was making his coffee a cute guy named Alex came near to me and asked me if I was new here. So I told him that I was Mr.Smith's new assistant. He told me how angry he is like all the time and almost all assistants quit due to his anger issues or he fires them because they are not up to mark. In that case I am on the verge of both being fired and quitting. Because I can't deal with angry people as I'll start arguing with them with full swing and neither I am an experienced assistant. So I guess I'll be fired within some time.

Making my way back to his cabin with coffee cup in one hand, my brain was thinking how hot this man is .

Not again Sophia.

He just insulted you and you are still thinking about his hotness.

Grow up babe.

"Sir, your coffee" I said as I entered his cabin.

"Keep it on the desk, Ms. Brown." He said without looking up from the computer screen.

Can't even say thank you , what kind of a bastard is he ? He doesn't have any f*****g manners. Oh god its just nine in the morning and I have already abused so much. STOP IT FOR GOOD NOW SOPHIA.

"You can go now Ms. Brown. And when I call you again bring the Davis Company's file."

I nodded and came out from his cabin. As soon as I was about to sit on my desk I got a call from him and I rushed back there. I didn't even got time to appreciate my office.

I swear I'll kill him.

"What have you done to this coffee, Ms. Brown? It tastes like the worst thing in this world. Please get me another cup and make it better this time."

"Okay sir". I could barely control my anger now.

"And bring the file with the coffee now".

"Yes sir , right away."

Man I don't know if I'll return on both my legs today. This man is a nightmare to work with. It's just been a few hours and I'm already pissed. I guess Emma's going to hear a lot of complaints and bad words today.

I went to make the coffee again but this time I asked Kiara how he liked his coffee. I made a mental note to talk to Kiara about that tour and the details of my work and also about Mr. Smith's tastes. I knocked and went in his office.

This time the coffee tasted better as I could make it from his expression.

Obviously he won't appreciate that, useless man.

And I gave him the file and made my exit.

Then I went with Kiara and she gave me a tour of the whole office and introduced me with most of the employees and the HOD's. Some of them gave me sympathetic smiles which I very well know why by now. Most of them were polite with me and some men offered me a lunch or coffee treat. I guess I should socialize with them and make some friends here. It would be a great help when I would wnat to rant about Calvin's behaviour. But most of the women just gave me fake smiles maybe because I would be working closely with Calvin.

It's not that how good it looks. I would prefer peace of mind over looks anytime.

I didn't get to stay in my office for long because I was just moving all day and I think it would be like this everyday. My office was small and cozy. It was just next to Calvin's. I had a small desk in the middle and a comfortable chair behind it and one in front of it. It had some indoor plants and a small bookshelf hung on the wall which had a couple of books. I made a mental note to personalize my office by placing some pictures with my family and Emma. It also needs a bunch of stationery to look like someone works here.

Now, I sat on my desk making his list for upcoming interstate meetings, galas and Ball that he has to attend which he asked me to do later today. While making the list, I noticed an upcoming ball next month in Los Angeles , CA which was described as Davis's ball. LA caught my attention because my favourite actor Raymond Grey lives there and I'm so head over heels for him. I always wanted to know him as a normal person because all I see is his acting and I am so dreamy that sometimes I think one day I'll date him and we'll get married.

Call me mad. Call me crazy. Sophia no dreaming in office hours. Ahhh!!!!

Making my way back to his cabin , I told him about all his scheduled meetings and charity ball that he had to attend in coming weeks.

Man, he works really hard. He has a lot on his plate. And I guess it's always this busy. I guess that explains his shitty behavior.

He was going through his schedule for the upcoming month and I was waiting for any remarks or any work he wanted me to do.

"As my assistant you will also attend all these meetings and charity ball with me and being there doesn't mean you will enjoy and look at people but you have to get familiar with all our dealers and keep an eye on everyone of them."

"Sir, why are we spying on them"? I asked curiously.

"Just do as you're told and stop asking questions. Also its 'you' not 'we', I am not spying with you." He replied sternly.

"OKAY SIR", I said while raising my eyebrows.

After that he gave me some other files for the meetings he had tomorrow so that I could make copies and arrange the conference room for tomorrow's meetings. It all went smoothly after that. I think I can survive if I just do my work as I'm told and just keep my talks with him short. I can't handle very much of him in one day.

I was ecstatic as the day ended and I could finally go back to my apartment. As I walked down the sidewalk I kept on thinking about how cold this man is but I sense that its just superficial and deep down he is actually a great man. Maybe because he is a CEO of such a great company so to maintain that reputation he is like this or maybe he is actually a ruthless bastard. Whatever it is , why am I thinking so much. Its not like I'll fall for this cold man.

You never know Sophia.

The voice inside me said. I ignored it.

I reached my apartment, turned on the lights and went to my room to change into my shorts and a loose tshirt. I made myself some scrambled eggs and grabbed my rose wine to relax. I really needed it today. And as usual called Emma to tell her about my first day and about my hot boss and also ask her about her day. At first I went on and on about Calvin's behavior then about his hotness. Then she vent out about her over demanding boss and how jealous she was of me. I just laughed at her jealousy.

After talking to her for about 2 hours , I went to my bed as I have to reach tomorrow before my boss and not with him as he says. I don't want to test his patience or face his anger. I just hope my days are a little smooth sailing than today. I was really tired from today.

Thank you♥️ for reading my book. How do you think the week go? Will it be easier or unbearable. Will she be able to endure him or will she quit? Or will Calvin be happy with her work or fire her like the rest of his assistants?
