Four

First day at work was not what she imagined she was totally ignored throughout the day

she just watch as people work while she did nothing but sitting on her seat all day

even when she walk up to people to ask if they would need her help or tell her what task to do she was rejected, she just hope she wasn’t kicked out of the company sooner.

Emily soon get to the fast food restaurants, they were few customers this time she went to meet Steve and Louis in the kitchen

she stayed with them for a while and headed home alone she got home and prepare dinner for the four of them, she ate hers and left the remaining on the table

she retire to her room to sleep she hopes tomorrow at work will be better than today.

Emily sat down to have lunch at the nearest restaurant to the company, today was no different she still didn’t do anything

it was even more worse than yesterday she saw people looking at her like she was some stuff of alien amidst them.

she eats slowly taking her time since she has no work to go back to she might as well spend some time here, she ordered a second plate and start to eat it when someone sat down in front of her forcing her to look up from her food

“Hey you” she said obviously happy to see him and he smiled back at her

“Did you also come here to have lunch too?” she ask taking a spoonful

“Not really I saw you eating alone so I came in, it looks like you don’t make friends that fast seeing you are eating alone during lunch break”

“Nobody wants to be my friend, it’s like am invisible or something” she said gloomy

“Why? Did something happen?”

“If it did will you help me solve it?” she laugh a little

“You seems to hold an important position in the company, are you one of the executives, or one of the shareholders?”

Aiden laugh at her words “I’m the boss and if you really need my help you can tell me” he said and stood up to leave

“You are leaving already?” she asked

“Why, you want me to stay?” he teased

“Yes, I don’t want you to leave I like your company”

She said taking him by surprise he sat down and wait for her to finish eating and they both walk out of the restaurant

“You can go ahead I will join you later” he said and watch her go after she left he went back meet Jack where they were parked.

“She’s pretty” Jack said immediately he entered the car

“I thought you were heartbroken, but it seems your heart already found another person so fast” he said sarcastically

“It’s not what you think and am still heartbroken, so be nice to me”

“It doesn’t seems that way to me seeing you were laughing that loud” Aiden sigh and ignore him he’s never going to give up anyway

“Just drive and let’s leave”

The next day at work was better than the first two days she was given work to do by her seniors and she was not ignored like before

but she still didn’t have anyone to eat lunch with she sat down watching the door wondering if he would come there again she really should have asked for his number

yesterday she thought and she eat her food slowly just as she was about to finish eating she saw him come in she stood and smile at him waving at him to come over

“You still don’t have a friend to eat with?” he asked as he sat down

“Of course I do, you” she said and also sat down back

“When do we become friends?”

“Aren’t we friends? I mean we are even eating together” he smiled at her words

“I guess we are”

“Are you not going to order something?”

“I guess I should” he said and ordered the same thing as hers, they both eat after they were done they both walk to the company chatting as they walk

They walk inside the building and Emily felt people staring at them whispering among themselves, they all greeted Aiden with a bow and stare at her she stood confused for a second

“You must be really popular in the company seeing the way everybody is staring at you” she said and look from side to side

“That’s because I’m the boss”

“But if you are getting this kind of attention in the company, I wonder how much attention the big boss will get” she said as they continue walking

“What big boss are you talking about?” he asked confused

“I mean the owner of the whole corporation” He laugh and stare at her

“So she didn’t know he’s the big boss, how else does she think she got a job at a big company like this” he thought as he followed her they got to the door to her office and turn to leave

“Can I come with you to your office?” she asked closing the door not going in she went to meet him and walk ahead of him leaving him no choice

they entered into the elevator and he pressed the topmost floor, when they got there Emily marveled at the structure it was much better than the one on her floor he followed him to his office it was bigger and wider

“This is my office” he said and went to sit down

“Wow!” she exclaimed she admired the office checking it out

“Isn’t this too much?” I wonder what the big boss office will look like it will be huge and probably out of this world” Aiden smile widely at her imagination

“Actually there’s no other big boss, I'm the only boss here I own MAC corporation” he reveal and watch her reaction

She stood still for some time digesting his words, suddenly she change her attitude and became formal

“What! I really have no idea you didn’t look like…” she swallowed her remaining words

“I'm really sorry for not recognizing you” she apologized nervously

Aiden laugh out loud at her change of attitude and the formality in which he refers to him

“You really don’t need to be that formal with me we are friends remember”

“What if you decide to sack me?” she asked looking up at him

“I gave you the job, do you think I will take it back from you?”

“That’s true though, so you are truly the Boss?” she said dropping formality

“Why, don’t I look like one?”

“While you looked so young to own a company as big at this, you must be really brainy”

“Shouldn’t you get back to work?” he asked checking his watch

“Oh right” she wave him bye and went down to her office, she sat down at her desk and four of the staff came to meet her

“How do you know the boss” they ask inquiringly

“It doesn’t matter, can we be friends? You don’t seems to have a friend in the office, let talk later okay?” they left to their seat each flashing her smiles.

She smile back at them and concentrate on her work, before the end of work, more than twenty people has come to meet her asking her to be their friend

Although she has people to talk to at work it was uncomfortable since they all want to be her friend because of her relationship with the boss

she got home exhausted she check her phone, she has been added to the company’s group they were talking about her being friends with the boss she put down her phone not wanting to read their messages its seems she was given the silent treatment because of the boss

She sighs she still doesn’t have his number she check the group but he wasn’t there

“he’s the boss after all he can’t be in a group where they gossip about thing in the company” she wondered

If she should continue treating him the same way she has been doing she really enjoyed his company and likes it when he laughs

She shake off such thoughts from her mind she really shouldn’t be thinking of him he’s her boss

“And your friend” her sub conscience remind her, she decided to do some study to take her mind off thoughts of him.

Emily decided to clean the house since she haven’t do so due to her busy schedule, she doesn’t have to go to work today

since it’s a day off for her and she has class three to five so he has the whole morning to clean the house, she finish cleaning and decide to take a nap when her phone rang she check to see who it was it was an unknown number she wondered who it was as she pick up

“Who is this?”

“It’s Aiden”

She wondered who is it but the voice seems familiar “don’t tell me you don’t even know my name?” he asked disappointed

“Big boss? It’s you right?”

He laugh at her choice of word “big boss? Is that your nickname for me?”

Come to think of it she really don’t know his name “Let’s meet” she pick up her coat and hurry out she thought she won’t be able to see him today

she ran outside hoping to get a bus to her destination she got to the subway and saw him beside his car waiting she walk to him

“Hi” he turn to her and smiled

“Hop in” he said and entered the car, she also entered and he drive off “have you eaten lunch yet?”

“You come all the way to eat lunch with me?” she asked surprised

“I guess I really enjoy eating with you” she smiled to herself careful not to let him see they went to a restaurant and had lunch they talked a little and brought her back home before leaving, Emily was all smiling as she walk home

“Did something good happen” she staggered back almost losing her balance she turn to see who made the statement

“Lucy when did you get here? You sacred me”

“Why are you so sacred? Did you commit a crime?” she asked as she walk pass her

Emily followed her and prepare for her class still thinking of her lunch date with Aiden, it felt like a date to her although he might not see it that way but for her it was sure a date.
