CHAPTER 5- SUCH HANDSOMENESS.

"Lest i forget, the boss requested that you see him in his office". Simon whispered towards her. She immediately jumped off her sit like it has been electrified gaining everyones attention. Her heartbeat suddenly changed rhythm as the thought of meeting face to face with her boss whom she suppose to be the man of that night gave her a heartattack...

Taking slow steps,she arrived at her boss's office and gave it a slight knock. Her heart out of earth as she tried staying put to avoid looking suspicious as what she knows she's to expect to happen. Standing and shaking nervously,she gave the door another knock but still got no reply. Her heartbeat changing rhtym into calmness as the thought of her boss not being around easened up her rambling heart, but for how long?, how long can she hide herself before he gets to find out,cause there's every possibilities that he'll surely find out one way or the other.

Turning the opposite direction,she made for his secretary which she luckingly found at her supposed usual spot busying herself with the computer.

"Umm,excuse me, you must be the boss's secretary, I'm Emma by name,resumed yesterday. I was told that the boss requested for my presence,i'm here to meet with him, but he doesn't seem to be in his office. I was hoping if you could tell me of his whereabouts so i could meet with him?". Emma asked with a faint smile.

"The boss is not in the company at the moment,he went outside the company not too long ago, and wouldn't be back till the next day. He informed me about you, and requested that you give your work of yesterday to me. He needs to access them to know if your doing your work the right way,or if you could need a change in position.". The secretary said half her attention still on the computer. Emma was at loss for words,as the thought of what other possible position could be given to her. Contemplating on whether to ask the secretary or not, she decided to give it a try.

"If i may ask, do you know what other position he has in mind to move me into?". Emma questioned out her thoughts hoping to receive an answer.

"He didn't say so miss, but I'm pretty sure it's better off than your current one". She said with a slight smile which Emma returned back.

"Thank you,i should go get my work for preview, i'll be right back". Emma said and with that she left. Entering her department and heading for her seat, she sat down and sighed deeply as her mind wandered off to the secretary's words. What else can be better off than working as a manager?, aside working side by side for their boss as either a secretary which he already has,or a personal assistant, which he as well has. But both are still of the same similar function. One that sure can't and shouldn't happen,is her working as a secretary or P.A , for a very someone she's so wanting to avoid.

"What's filling up the mind of a fresh fresher??". Simon chipped in disrupting her thoughts. Emma shock off the lingering thoughts in her mind as Simon's voice brought her back to present.

"It's nothing serious, just me trying to recall my present state from the old one". Emma explained,but Simon didn't seem to fully get it.

"Okay....,so...., Tell me, what did the boss tell you??". Simon questioned keeping a sinister look. Emma was surprised,was Simon really questioning her that?. Simon noticed the fazed look she gave him, not wanting to be seen as a spy, he continued.

"Don't get me wrong,i only asked to know if there's any where or part you'd need my assistance, i'm certain the boss must've given you more things to work on. I'm just being caring to those who deserves it". Simon explained trying to clear her mind off from other thoughts she must've had in mind, what ever it could be. Emma nodded her head in understanding.

"No, i didn't get to meet with the boss. You don't have to worry much about me,i wouldn't want to be responsible for your undone works that you're to finish while trying to assist me out on mine". Emma said assuring him, that she can cope up with any work giving to her to work on without having to trouble him.

"I already sensed that you wouldn't let me lend you a helping hand even if I'd pester you, you're really a though one Emma,still ensure you don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything you'd need assistance for". Simon said.

"Yes,thank you". Emma said with gratitude seeing how he so wanted to help, but she couldn't bother him with her problems.

"By the way,is there any work you're done with,i could help you access them, before it gets to the boss". Simon asked. Emma abruptly stood up,as she took a file with her and ran off leaving Simon stunned and speechless. "She's sure filled with surprising dramas, earlier this morning,she caught everyone's attention, now this?". Simon thought to himself as the other two came to him ready to hear out the gist. They had left their work to verify from him concerning Emma's surprising stunts, they just couldn't hold back their curiosity.

"What's it with her??" Annie first questioned facing the direction Emma sprinted out from. Simon shurgged of their question as he turned back facing his work. Annie and Zach looked at each other, then suspiciously at Simon,then back at themselves and shurgged then shaking their heads in wonder,they went back to face their work.

Emma reached the secretary's table breathing heavily as she had been moving on long strides with her breath held in. Trying to catch her breathe before saying a word, the secretary just stared at her like she's some familiar alien who just disappeared and reappeared.

"I'm sorry,i came to give the file to you it almost skipped off my memory". Emma said with a smile.

"It's fine, i'll deliver it to the boss". The secretary assured with a faint smile as she accepted it from her and arranged it in between some well packed file for the boss to review all at once. Emma forced back a smile as she turned back and left.

Emma was in her own thoughts, trying to picture out her boss's face on sighting her work. Would he affirm of it as a good kick start at her first to second day at work,or just how would his expression be. He might keep the face of a confused looking owl🦉,or a surprising look of a cat🙀🐈.

What ever way he chooses, depending on how her work is to him. Feeling more nervous if really her work would be worth it,she didn't think she'd been walking the wrong path till her head bumped into a chiseled chest and unexpectedly,she went falling backwards anticipating for the rough connection with the ground when strong masculine arms wrapped tightly around her waist, saving her from the harsh ground that was ready to have torn a piece of her light toned skin.

"You alright?". The man said before his eyes teaveled up to meet with Emma's sparkling ones. Emma was utterly speechless and surprised as she stared at the handsomeness right before her eyes and small form..

Who could it be??
