Episode 12
Mike also tried some to do somethings in choosing the employees. I was asked to join him as I knew the company than him. Even though it was quite uncomfortable, I learnt some things from him. One of those things was self - determination. No matter the hassle, it is always necessary to be determined. Avoiding his smart thinking and wise ideas, I knew he was not that bad as a person.
"What do you think about these people?" He asked me pointing to the employees he had chosen. Everyone was perfect except for the fact that the head manager was part of them. I dragged him to a corner.
"Well, I didn't want to say anything but why is the head manager here?" I whispered to him.
"He volunteered to help." He whispered back to me.
"I mean, he is the head manager, part of the executives of this company. What if they make a research and they see him? Then, what are you going to do? I think we should choose those employees that do not have a title. The ones that are not part of the executives. You understand, the lowest rank. " I said, still in a calm voice as if anyone could hear us.
"To me, I don't think they are that smart. "
"You might not think so because you feel too high of yourself but know something. There might be someone like you there. Someone who thinks deeply and gives the best solution. We have to be careful. " I said.
"So, in one sentence, you mean that I think deeply? Wow! What a good compliment from someone who didn't want to talk to me. " He said jokingly.
"I didn't compliment you. I only stated a fact. I'm not the type of lady that compliments. I tell the truth and what I see. " I bragged.
"But, are you not curious where I might had known you from? Should you not ask me?"
"In actual fact, let us get away with position, I am your senior in this company. Forget the fact that you are an executive director, but still I have so many experiences than you in this company. Nevertheless, I am your senior. I heard you started working in this field five years ago but I started mine eight years ago. Judging by your appearance, you are probably twenty five, twenty seven years old, but I am thirty two baby boy. Wake up and don't make me laugh. Else, I will teach you the real location of where you knew me. " I replied in a rude but sharp manner as I walked away. He just looked at me as I left. I believed that he might have been surprised how I got to know some of his basic information. I felt so good after replying him that way. If he knew me, he should had said where he knew me from. But, instead he kept beating round the bush and asking me to give him permission. "Screwed i***t!" I said.
Due to all these, he removed the head manager and chose some irregular employees. I didn't say anything neither did I say good job. He didn't deserve it after all. It was my own idea. "Oh! You smart fool! I will make you understand why I got several carry-overs in my university. Clearly because I was too smart for the lecturer and he wanted me to stoop so low to his level. Undiluted jerk!" I thought.

Soon, Hart called me.. I wondered why he did because he was so busy.
"Secretary Mira, I want you to go to a restaurant right now and buy groceries that women likes." He said.
"Groceries? What for?" I asked.
"A very deep close friend of Dave's ex girlfriend is coming to visit me today. So, u have to bribe her with groceries. " He requested.
"Bribe her? And Mr Dave had a girlfriend? I can't believe it. " I said.
"Yes. He is a guy and he has to like a girl do he get married soon. Hurry up and go get it. "
"Wait a minute sir. Are you trying to being the both of them back together? I think that is a wrong idea.. Mr Dave is currently in his mother's hometown jobless, no lady will want to date such a guy, not to talk of ex. " I said.
"I am going to do this because I want Dave to come back here. It will be really great if he starts working here. So, I am going to use his ex girlfriend whom he love so much and want to have back to get him back. Period. " He concluded, then looked at me with a bad eye. I knew the signal, so I ran out of the office to get the groceries.
"Who cares about his friend? Wait, if Dave comes here, does that mean I won't see him often as he would talk to Dave rather than me. That is not right. He told me he likes me, but is no longer mentioning it. What does that mean? Has he gotten over me? So soon? I wonder if Dave's ex girlfriend's friend is pretty. Hart get attracted to girls these days. What should I do? Hart is really something. " I thought as I was buying the groceries.
"But still, why groceries? Why not something very expensive? Or has it bought it and wanted to use groceries to support it? No, I don't think so. Get yourself together Mira. " I said to myself angrily. Was I jealous? People said I was. But, even till now, I could not see any epitome of jealousy in my thoughts. I was so mad at myself that I was lost in what I was buying. Hart was someone I really wanted to hold really hard. I didn't want to lose him to anyone. Not even to his late mother. I wanted him to be mine and mine alone. Then, he wanted to give a girl something. Kidding me?
I bought the groceries and went over to deliver them to Hart. By the time I got to his office, she was already there. As expected, she was damn pretty. She wore a black short gown which exposed her skin. "What's she wearing? She's not even that pretty. " I thought.
"Here is it sir. " I said as I gave the groceries to Hart.
"Thank you. And again Miss Yuna, this is my secretary, Mira. Just incase you didn't know her. " Hart introduced me to her. I put on a fake smile as I bowed slightly for her.
"It is nice to meet you ma'am. " She said. Her voice sounded like my lost uncle's. She was just like a guy when she spoke.
"Excuse us, secretary Mesa." Hart finally said.
Due to the excuse, I couldn't listen to their conversations. But, I was sad that made it really obvious. After the meeting, she set out to leave. I was so upset abd worried about what had happened.
"Secretary Mira. " Hart called me. I went immediately to his office.
"Yes sir. Did you call for me?"
"Yes. Something suddenly came to my mind. I think you should follow the employees acting as an disguise to the Miami book company. "
"I don't understand sir. I am very well-known in that company. There is clearly no way I can follow the employees. " I replied.
