FALLING FOR THE BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 5

Naomi

Well she seems too confident about who so ever this guy is. He must be something that made her believe in love. I was more than happy to see her so confident about a guy. I never dated so I had zero idea how relationships work. I just wanted to settle down and then get a guy like Chris or Jane’s Brother. Me and my stupid teenage crush. Hopeless.

I locked my door and took off my cloths to get some sleep. I checked my phone for any message or calls. Just an email.

Ms.Johnson,

Tomorrow is your joining day. Report at 8 am.

Regards,

Mrs.Marshel.

I had to wake up an hour before now. I don’t really mind. All I need is this job and be committed to my work. I kept my phone back in my night stand and snuggled inside my covers to sleep.

I was struggling to get some sleep. My mind was wondering about Andrew. Well to be more precise Mr. Andrew, most probably my bosses’ boss. Why was he so interested in me? Why was he giving me stupid nicknames? Well I did like those names but it was still weird. Am I gonna see him tomorrow? I hope not or do I?

Soon enough I slept peacefully due to tiredness. At midnight I woke up to use the washroom. With sleepy eyes I dragged myself inside the washroom to do my business. I got back to my bed and covered myself with my sheet and that’s when I felt intense gaze on me.

I woke up wide eyes and searched for those eyes but there were none. I signed in relieve and though I was exhausted so I felt it. It was getting hot so I took off my bra as well and went back to my sweet sleep.

I woke up from the noise of my alarm. It was showing 6:30 already. I clumsily got off my bed and did my morning routine. I stood up against my mirror and blow dried my hair. I put mascara and lip gloss as usual. I wanted to keep it simple and professional so I wore black pencil skirt which reached below my knees and white cotton blouse. I put my hair into a slick ponytail and black top to add an accessory. My favourite black wrist watch matching my black block heels.

I gave myself a last look and walked out of my room with my bag and phone. I still had forty five minutes so I could make myself coffee. I was surprised to see breakfast on the table. Mom woke up and made it all for me. I love her so much.

I sat down and started munching my food and that’s when mom joined me with our coffee. It was a quick feast so I took my stuffs and kissed mom’s cheek as she mutter a best of luck to me. I halted a cab as I didn’t wanna be late. It was just twenty five minutes drive so I settled down.

I was so excited and nervous about everything. I just wanted to start with everything soon. I checked my phone for any messages or calls. Jane and Chris delivered their wishes in our group chat. I gave them short reply.

Jane would start working tomorrow and as for Chris, he can start anytime of the day. It was his company after all. He did offer me to work in his company but I wanted to work in Ignite.

As the journey came to an end, I climbed off the car and handed him the money. I was drooling over the building in front of me. The building screamed classy. I walked towards the reception to give my details. She asked me to take the elevator to eleventh floor. I did as told and was soon welcomed with white marble on the floor and grey paint on the walls. the floor was huge. There was just one door in the entire floor. Weird. I saw no one to ask for the direction so I helped myself and opened the only one door that I could see.

As I entered the room, it looked like a conference room. I hesitantly spoke to no one in particular. “Hellow? Is anyone there?” I didn’t expect any reply.

“Welcome babygirl. You are at the right place” I drop dead at that moment. I just wanted to disappear from there. Oh God! Why now?

“I-I’m sorry. I was asked t-to report at 8 and the reception lady asked me to meet Mrs. Marshall on this f-floor” Shock would not be enough to describe my state. I was terrified, anxious, guilty and most of all mesmerized.

I can never deny the attraction I felt for him. It was very new to me. I was never attracted to any guy. At some point I even thought maybe I was bisexual or lesbian but then I was not even attracted to girls.

I was lost in my own thoughts when he spoke again bringing me back to the reality. “I’m surprised to see your punctuality. You were on time with proper attire. I’m impressed”

What the hell did he mean proper attire? I do know what to wear in an office. I was ready to throw a comment but I held myself. I can’t be thrown out on my first day and after all he is my bosses’ boss so it’s better to keep it to myself.

“Thank you sir. May I know where to find Mrs. Marshall?” I kept my calm and avoided eye contact. My palms were sweaty.

“Mrs. Marshall will be late. Please have a seat. We can discuss about your job until she joins” With that I took my seat and observed his facial features. He was too calm and compose. It was kind of weird to see his reaction after last day’s incident. But to be honest I was happy that we both could maintain our professional attitude. Maybe I judged him too soon.

“Well I see you enjoying your first day already. Should we start now?” I didn’t realise I was smiling like a fool. Stupid me!

I sat back straight and nodded indicating him to continue. “You’ll be assigned an cabin of your own. You have to schedule all the meetings and check all the emails and report me back. Mrs. Marshall will be there to guide you through all other works. She will be leaving tomorrow so make sure you clear all your doubts. Don’t delay your work and you have to leave the office by 7. Did I make myself clear?” I just simply nodded and didn’t ask him anything. He had a stern look and stared with intense eyes.

I badly wanted to leave but before that I had to apologize. I took a deep breath and looked him in his eyes. “About the other day, I wanted-” before I could finish we heard a knock on the door. We both looked towards the door until he called out for the person to come in.

Mrs. Marshal emerged from the other side and gave a small smile to Andrew. I stood up to show her respect to which she gave me a smile and nodded at my acknowledgement.

“I’m sorry to be late sir” she apologized. Maybe he really disliked being late so he appreciated me when I was on time. I’ll surely keep that in mind to never be late.

“I understand Mrs. Marshall. With your kids its hard to be on time. Ms Johnson here needs your help. Please show her around and all the work she needed to do. I need to head out.” With that he stood up and left.

“Come let me show you your desk and all the work. We still have another half an hour till work time starts” we both left the conference room and headed to the elevator.

I wanted to ask her about my boss but I choose to let her guide me. We reached the twelfth floor. The floor was bright and big. We soon entered an office which was not to big but sufficient for me to work on. Towards the left side of my office there was another office which I was sure was of my boss.

Mrs Marshall showed me around. It was not much, just replying the clients back, scheduling meetings, forwarding all the e-mails, taking notes for the meetings etc. I was curious to ask her about the question I have been holding to.

“Madam Mr Andrew wanted me to report him back. So am I suppose to report my boss first and then Mr Andrew or vice versa?” I didn’t wanna mess things up.

“Well it’s the same don’t you think” With that she left and I was standing still confused.
