GIVING THE RESPONSIBILITY

"Miss James, I need you to make a roster and get a professional dressmaker to prepare work outfits for the secretaries, they will be wearing uniforms in the office from the beginning of next month.

Also, inform those who want skirts, it must be on top of the knees or longer I hate office competition."

Sylvia furrows her brow wondering, 'After all these years working at the office why the sudden change, what has brought on this? Recently I observed how Lystra has been dressing, could it be he doesn't want to say something to offend her?

Also, she wanted to know why he chose her when Lystra is the most capable and appropriate person for this assignment. She loves to dress up and always looks down on others and is very bossy. Is Boss aware of the position he is putting me in?'

When Boss said, "You are responsible for keeping order with all the secretaries from today onwards and I don't want to hear any bickering in the reception area it will reflect badly on me if my parents hear anything."

Considering what had occurred, becoming frustrated just thinking about her meddling in every aspect of my life. Brent felt at that moment he needed some alone time to absorb what is happening around him. She only returned yesterday and I am already frustrated.

Also, I need to come up with another plan quickly on how I could meet this Jessy person without being followed. Also before she return to wherever she came from.

And those two assistants need to be replaced immediately, they are never on the job on time and always making some flimsy excuses.

Leaning his head on the chair back he closes his eyes, 'I can't give up, I can only consider today's disappointment as a small setback, that's all.'
