Resumption day

(Scarlett POV)

It's resumption day and I'm so happy I would be resuming work as a salary earner. It's my first day and I'm so delighted. I entered B.stone and everywhere look so classic no wonder it is rated as one of the best. I stopped at my track looking like a dumb, a lot of workers there looked at me when I asked where I'm assigned to.

They don't seem to know me or have any idea I'm employed here. I was about taking the escalator to God knows where when a man about twenty five or six years approached me.

He asked me to follow him to my department and I did without hesitating.

Before settling down, he introduced me to all of them and specifically told Miss Donna that the big boss said she should treat me well and work hand in hand with me. The big boss? who the hell is he? I haven't seen him before, not even single pictures of his are on media. Does he knows me? well I'm here to work not to become private investigation.

As soon as the young man who introduced himself as Mr Matt left, my now colleagues rushed to my side and asked me series of questions, to tell them my name, age and how the hell I managed to get employed in B'stone. I attempted some and told them my luck shines.

It's lunch break finally after a long work time, I'm damn so hungry. I left home without eating because of excitement of resuming work today. I asked one of my colleagues where the cafeteria was and she directed me. I left to canteen immediately and was ordered my specialty.

After eating I went back to the work Miss Donna assigned me to. I was so focused on it that I forgot closing time if not that Mr Matt asked me if I wouldn't go again. I searched around and none of my colleagues were there that means they all left.

I hurriedly packed my stuff and follow Mr Matt right away. Upon reaching home I checked my freezer and brought out the left over stew. I microwave it with yam without as soon as possible, thanks goodness there are a lot stock up in the freezer.

Who ever the big boss is, I'm really grateful for stress free both in job and accomodations offers. Where would I have started from? I've promised myself to pay him back in being dedicated to my work and that's what I have and would be doing.

*****"""""**********

It's three weeks already since I joined B'stone, everything has been going on smoothly and I'm glad I have no one who dislikes me in my department.Three weeks of working there without seeing or knowing who the big boss is, how would I see or meet him when he gets to his office in his own private elevator.

We've been working on five dresses for a week now and I heard each of it would be sold to some top personnel's in the country, so unique and time consuming.

After making two of it, my departmental head said she got the information from the boss's assistant that I'm to submit a sample of the dress by myself. What? how come I'll be the one to do that? how would I face the cold aura of our boss? I heard he's so cold and mean especially to his employers. Well do I have a choice? it's really an opportunity to gets to know him and thank him for me.

In no time, our boss's assistant was already in our department to send me to the boss. We got to the top and some of the female workers in jewelry's department were obviously looking at me and I can imagine what was really going on in their mind.

"Here we are boss, I will go out first to take care of our sales department." Mr Matt said which brought me back to my senses. Our boss was searching for some files which makes his back faced us so I haven't really seen his face yet.

Mr Matt left and until then the man in front of me turned. Guess who? I looked at him with shocked and even forgot pleasantries. It's as if I should get away immediately from here but then I can't,we are stuck here as boss and employer.

I managed to let him know that I'm with the dress he asked me to bring after saying my pleasantries with shivering. He ignored me rather had a little frown on his face.

He stood up with first aid kit and walked up to me without saying anything, he held my arm tenderly and applied an ointment directly to where I had a cut earlier. That really got me thinking if he had been watching me or better still has someone in our department who watches over me.

After applying the ointment, he plastered the place I had a cut before cautioning me. His words although it's for my own good made me teared up. I didn't really know why the sudden tears maybe I'm scared or maybe I just want to disappear from his sight or maybe because he cares so much about me. Seeing me cried uncontrollably he drew me closer to himself and hugged me.

" Have I said anything bad? I'm only looking out for you. I'm sorry if my words hurt you." He said patting my back. That's such a relieving and reviving hug. l held him a bit tight without knowing what prompted me to.

After some time I let go of the hug but refused to look at him. He asked me to sit which I did. He phoned his secretary after taking the dress from me ordering her to bring two cups of coffee.

" Tell me Scarlett how are you coping with your work for the past few weeks?" He asked staring at me.

"Fine Sir, I replied immediately.

"Don't be offended are you the one managing this company Sir?" I asked not sparing him a glance.

"What do you think Scarlett? He asked but I said nothing.

"Scarlett for the upthemth time stop addressing me as sir or do you need some punishment?"

I raised my eyes up watching him doing nothing other than staring at me, that moment the secretary knocked and entered looking at me enviously.
