The Secretary by Jeiana Airen (adult books to read TXT) 📕

"That's my girl.  Ok let's have some fun".       

Monday morning, i woke up early since i have an interview scheduled at nine at Ample pharmaceutical company.  This time all my excitement are gone and all i have are nervous and belief that this will be my company.  Since i arrived a little to early i decided to walk near the building just appreciating what it would be like to work in a such a wonderful structure.  Gathered all my courage and entered the turn table.  I was greeted by security guards and the receptionist gave me my badge and give me directions to the meeting room.  This time i was alone and no other applicants were called unlike my previous interview were in i still have to wait in line before somebody would talk to me.  After 5 minutes, a girl knock on the door stating that the secretarial office manager is on his way for the interview.       

"Good morning, Ms Mint" as he look to my application.  "I'm Dante nice to meet you.  So you are a fresh graduate so i suppose this will be your first job assuming you pass?" as he finally look at me.       

"G-g-good morning! (stop stuttering! i mentally kicked myself) Yes and i am looking forward to working with your company" as i smiled confidently after.  The interview went by smoothly and he even laugh at some point.  It was just like a normal conversation with one of my professor and i was really confident.  He asked the usual information such as background and some skills i got on secretarial duties.  Another point was given to me as my favorite professor Mr Herrera was able to sent his recommendation on time and Dante was pretty impressed.  The last question asked was, if i am willing to work at night at any day of the week.  It was weird compared to office hours but of course i answered "yes" eagerly.  He was very pleased and said to wait for the call on the result of the interview but he already said "Congratulations!".  The farewell brought me smile so i exit the building happy.

  Dreams do come true and i am loving every second of it.  After a week of waiting Satin from the secretarial office gave me a call informing that i pass.       

"MOM! i shout after putting the reciever down. 

"I can't beleive it! I land a job at Ample pharmaceutical company! Isn't it great!" as i hug her tight.       

"That's very good honey.  Why don't we go to the mall and buy you some new clothes, Work clothes."       

"Oh yes that's a good idea.  Besides i need to try on some eye glasses so i can look more mature and dependable"      

"Why do you need to get that impression?  You will be just fine as you are"       

"They say that some boss will try to hit on their girl employee but if i look nerdy maybe they would just leave me alone for work" with eyes beaming as if i really had a great idea.       

My mom just laugh hard and drag me out of the house and we head to the mall.  She said that this will be celebration day and our holiday since i will soon be busy at work.  She even faked hurting that i would forget about her once i started working.       

Monday!       

Well here it is, my very first job.  Looking on how high the building is and how magnificent i feel being one of its employee.  Satin greeted me on the front desk and gave me my company ID and access.  First she showed me around the secretarial office and to the rest of the building, more like an orientation.  There are 'Hi's and Hello's' and some even shook my hand as welcome.  After a coule of hours she directed me to my desk as part of the secretarial team for Deslan, the company's vice president.  The work was fun as we gather specific information from other company and compiling reports for the meeting necessary for Mr Deslan.  We are five on the team and each of us have our task assigned.  As for me, my assignment was compiling reports from different department to be compiled and reported to Mr Deslan every morning.       

For the first few days i have Mary, Sheena and Troy helped me all through the work until i get used to it.  After a month i was now on my own and doing my work was like doing my household chores.  Mr Deslan was very kind and he takes good care of his staff.  There was a time that he would send us out for lunch or give treats for desserts.  He was handsome, mature and happy to be with, though i don't know how he is when mad.  Out of curiosity i ask Sheena and the others but all they say is 'he never gets mad but he does correct some mistakes but you will never be apprehended for doing something wrong".  Yes, what great boss i have and i am falling in love with this job.

4 THE CHANGE       

It has been months since i started working here and never in those times that i was called to go to HR (the human resources department).  According to other employees, you will be called to HR if you have any violations or if you will received any sanction.  Now, that was scary and i know i have done all my handled task as perfect as i could.  In fact Mr. Deslan always appreciate my work and even praise me at times which gives me inspiration everyday and my drive to go to work. 'But why HR?' this question run through my mind as i take my time going to the Human resources department.       

I knocked on the door and somebody answered for me to come in.  I took a peak before i open the door and let myself in.  Mr Deslan and Ms Satin the head of human resources was seated on both end of the table and gestured me to seat in front of them.       

"G-g-g-good m-m-morning" the not too enthusiastic me.       

"It's ok Ms Mint.  Please have a seat, no need to worry.  We are the ones who actually needed your help" Ms Satin started.  "You have been with us for 6 months now and through those times you were able to prove yourself worthy of the job and even made friend to almost all of the staff" she said smiling.      

The speech was great but it does not actually answered my unknown question so i looked at Mr Deslan who was very quiet through it.  He just nod, aggreeing to everything Ms Satin say.  "If that is the case then why am I called here" as i opened my mouth unable to restrain the words coming out of it.  I immediately covered my mouth shocked at my own behavior but my eyes never left theirs.       

"hahahahahahaha" Mr Deslan laughed.  "See Ms Satin.  I'm very sure she will fit the job.  As you can see Ms. Mint is quite different from others" he continued.  My puzzled face lingered through the office on how Deslan sees me.  Satin was smirking and the look of excitement and a promise of surprise is trying to come out of his mouth to explain.       

"Elizabeth you said on your recorded interview that you are willing to work late at night, did you not?"       

"Yes, I did and if that's is the case that is no problem.  I could even start tomorrow if you want"       

"Very  good! That is what we wanted to hear"       

Ms Satin then stand up and grab an envelope and handed it to me.  "Ms Mint, this will be your new contract.  On monday you will be working 1pm onwards and the time depends.  You will be transferred to the care of Mr Reine Lyle as his personal secretary".       

Holding the envelope in my hand i just stared at the 2 of them and nod.  I went through the details and everything seems to be ok.  In regards with the time i'm sure my mom would understand if i need to work late at night.  What was bothering is i have never seen Raine come into the building before.  Sure most of the girls talked about him being good looking and all but nobody has actually seen him work.  He is one great mystery among the company that is yet need to be discovered.  So i went back to my desk and lucky for me the staff already knew that i was transferring.  The girls came in congratulating me and helping me fix my things so i can transfer to the new office.  When i got home, i told mom about the new work and she seems to understand and said that it is a good change for me and will grow more as a person.

  "Mr Lyle excuse me, this is......" as Charlie opened the door to introduce me to my new boss.  We stopped because there was a woman on top of her desk and they seem to be so intimate.  I was shocked that He actually behave that way and worst inside his office.  How can he be such a hot shot when he mixed his work with his personal affairs!  'i don't like him' as my thought drift.  Charlie cleared his throat to get their attention.  The woman just gave a look and smirk.  "Well i guess that is my cue to leave"  she gave one last kiss and bid goodbye.       

"What is so important that you need to disturb me?!" Raine said.       

Handing my data charlie introduced "This is Elizabeth your new personal secretary" pointing at me.  I bowed in respect but he caught my attention stating "I don't like her!
