Chapter two(2) Shocked and Confused

Yvonne heart sank as she stepped into the office, the atmosphere was tense and Jordan's expression was a mask of intensity. His eyes narrowed as he scanned the room, his gaze lingered on each face before moving on.

Andrew :( cleared his throat breaking the silence) ''okay, let's get started. The student that will be trained by our CEO, Jordan, is Yvonne Brown''.

Yvonne's hand trembled as she stood up leaving her hiding spot and her best friend behind. Her eyes fixed on Jordan's imposing figure as she slowly made her way to the front with every step she made heavy.

Jordan: (his voice dripped with sarcasm as he spoke) ''how I'm I supposed to train a timid little shawty or should I say kitten like you? (He laughs coldly, his eyes showing no expression).

Yvonne felt a flush rise to her cheeks as she met Jordan's gaze. She knew she had to toughen up if she wanted to succeed in this internship.After the introduction, the meeting adjourned, and everyone filed out of the office. Whitney caught up with Yvonne outside.

Whitney: (her voice low and urgent) ''why does he have to be so infuriatingly arrogant''.

Yvonne: (shook her head, feeling a mix of emotions) ''I know, right? But if I want to learn and make it in my career, I need to obey him''.

The next morning, Yvonne woke up early feeling a sense of determination. She got dressed in a crispy black feminine suit and rushed out of her hostel room. She grabbed a quick breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, but lost track of time.When she arrived at the office, she was ten minutes late. She rushed down the hallway; she failed to notice Andrew standing by the water cooler. They collided, and Yvonne's papers went flying out of her hands.

Yvonne: ''oh no, I'm so sorry!'' (She exclaimed as she bent down to pick up the scattered papers)

Andrew: (Rushed to help her, his voice apologetic) ''it's okay; I'm the one who should be sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going''.

Yvonne: (smiled weakly as she took the papers from Andrew) ''it's okay, really. I'm just having a bit of a morning''.

Andrew: ''well, hopefully the rest of your day will be better. You're not late for your meeting with Jordan, are you?''

Yvonne: ''actually I am. I lost track of time''.

Andrew: (his expression turned sympathetic) ''don't worry; I'm sure Jordan will understand. Just be honest with him.

Yvonne: (she nodded feeling better) ''thanks Andrew. I'll try''.

With a final smile Andrew headed to his office to check on the task he gave Whitney, leaving Yvonne to face Jordan alone. Taking a deep breath, Yvonne made her way to Jordan's office. She could feel her heart pounding in her chest; her palms were slick with sweat. She knocked and made he way into the office and was greeted by Jordan's imposing figure. He looked up from his desk, his eyes narrowing as he took in Yvonne disheveled appearance.

Jordan: ''late on your fist day?'' (He raised an eyebrow) ''not exactly the best impression, is it?''

Yvonne felt her face burn with embarrassment as she met Jordan's gaze. She knew she had to make a better impression, and fast.

Jordan: ''anyways re-edit these documents''. (He said angrily)

Yvonne: ''okay''.She quickly grabbed the documents and ran to the electronic department with her laptop. She retyped the documents and printed it out ten minutes later. She returned to Jordan's office.

Jordan: ''get me coffee''. (He said coldly)

Yvonne: ''okay, I'll be right back''. (Seven minutes later, she returned with the coffee, but Jordan was furious)

Jordan: ''I told you to read the details. You should have known that I wanted a soft copy, not a hard copy. I thought you would be smart enough to know that''.(He pinned her to the wall, his lips inches away from hers, looking into her eyes coldly).

Jordan: ''I thought you were ready to learn''. (He said, his voice dripping with disdain)

Jordan: (then he moved closer to her, his face inches from hers). ''you should get punished for this,'' (he said coldly).
