Personal Assistant

RYAN

As the sweat dripping all over his body, Ryan finished his morning workout and went to shower. Ever since his personal assistant left, he found it hard to manage his timings. He hardly gets any personal time. His previous assistant was the best he ever had. But he couldn't resist when she wanted to take maternal leave. She was the only one who kept everything professional and keeps up with his personal and professional life. He approved her leave and handed a check for hundred grands along with her maternity pay check. He know it's not enough for all the sacrifices she made for this job, and she knows it is too much of money but he insisted on giving.

He came out of the shower and got ready for his business. He wore a white linen shirt and a dark blue suit. He have no time to waste on breakfast. He went to garage hopped on the first car he saw. Its a black SUV. He was about to start when he heard his phone ring. He know who it is. No one dares to call him during early hours especially during working days. He rolled his eyes as he saw the name. It was from his friend Shawn. He attended the call.

"What now?" Ryan grunted.

"Someone is grumpy early in the morning" Shawn teased.

"Get the fuck down to business mate. What's the matter?"

"Chill dude. You should relax a bit. You need a break from your office and shit. Let's party this evening what do you say?"

"No thanks. I am good. If nothing else I am hanging up."

"You know you can't hang up on me mate. I have your little secret. Remember??" Shawn said in a sarcastic voice.

"Don't you dare call her Shawn. If I know you call her I will beat you to death" Ryan boiled.

"Say you'll come to the club and I'll consider about it"

"Fine. You win. But you can't bring the same shit again. If you ever blackmail me with this cheap trick again, you'll face severe consequences Shawn, mark my words. This is my final warning"

"Oh Ryan I was just goofing around. Don't be mat at me" Shawn pleaded comically.

"How do I even have a friend like you. I can't believe myself"

"You are blessed to have a friend like me who is popular, hot, and handsome."

"Narcissist. Send me your location. I'll pick you up later. Bye."

As soon as he hung up the phone he started towards his company. Red tech logistics is one of the most famous tech companies. Though it was hard to handle such a big company Ryan never really struggled to find his way. He took over the company when he was 21. Ever since his dad died of cancer he runs the company smoothly. His father never really told him about his cancer. Instead he pushed Ryan to study business management and all the tech related programs. He was angry at his father when he didn't gave Ryan a choice to select his own interests. When he found out about his father's cancer, he was not angry anymore. Instead he promised to his father that he would take over the company and would lead it to succes. That was the last words he spoke to his father. It was a promise.

In between his thoughts he reached the company. A young lady at the reception greeted him. He reached his office. He discussed the company's routine with his secretary Sherin. She is one of the reasons why the Red techs is a promising company. She even appointed a temporary personal assistant. But Ryan couldn't stand her open flirting, so he dismissed her. When it comes to his business life he wanted to keep it professional. He doesn't like to mix personal and professional life.

At the end of the discussion Sherin remembered Ryan about the interview for his personal assistant.

"Should I do the interview or do you want to interview them personally Mr. Red?" asked Sherin.

"How many are there?"

"Around 40 from the sight of it. They are waiting downstairs"

"You filter them and send the best of the best to me or atleast the best"

"I understand Mr. Red" She said with a nod

She was about to leave, but Ryan's word stopped her.

"Ryan... Call me Ryan. How many time do I have to tell you?"

"I guess it's out of habit" she grinned.

"Same stupid reply every time."

With a nod she left his office and went to interview. She was disappointed at the end of the interview. Only 7 out of the 50 members she selected. And they may not be the best of the best, she knew they won't be selected by Ryan. Sherin got it all in her mind and went to Ryan's office. He sat there with a disappointed face.

"No one is up to your standard Mr. Red?"

He looked up from his phone. He just got the address of Shawn.

"Schedule the next interview within 5 days, I am desperate for an assistant Sherin" he said tiredly.

"Yes Mr. Red, any other work?"

"That's it for today. I can't manage the company without assistant. Everything seems to be out of control. I need a day off. Manage the company for the evening. I'll probably come late tomorrow. Don't bother to call."

"Yes Mr. Ryan. See you then" she smiled and left.

On her way out she reached Reena and told her details about the former discussions and the schedule of the next interview that will be held with in five days

Meanwhile Ryan made quick phone calls to some important clients and left for his house. He changed to a blue jeans and black T - shirt. He checked the time. There was plenty of time for the evening. But he just want to interrupt whatever Shawn was doing. Ryan knows that Shawn would be in a middle of a date. The thought of interrupting his date gave him immense please. Ryan hardly gets in relationships. He never do dates. Women threw themselves at him for his money. He remembered the last relationship he had and how he was cheated. It made him cringe. How can he let a lowly women get into his heart. He shook his head in disappointment. Pushing those thoughts aside, he drove towards the Red Crown hotel.
