CHAPTER FIVE

Was it just her or it felt as though she just walked into a class of girls not minding an orgy with Mr Bass himself, only that they weren’t naked and all over themselves, they were doing that with their eyes and mouth, if only their eyes could do the magic. She rolls her eyes again.

She literally felt like gagging or start screaming “You all should go get a room and beg him to join you, be less obvious ” Lord !!!

He leaves, the lady , the one they call Betty walks up to her “Follow me and I would show you to your corner. I expect that you follow through instructions, know his schedules and meetings, timing and even every tiny detail even to what he eats and the colour of tie , what he likes and what floss he uses for his teeth, his meals and lunch, his different suits for different days…, dinner dates, kind of girl, loose cash for what and what, his shirts..he loves white..”

Oh really, do I have to know the colour of his boxers too and if he likes to pee sitting like a girl or standing like a man. She rolls her eyes

What am I, his babysister??

Jamie didn’t tell me there was a big baby running his daddy’s company

They are walking as Betty continuous to talk “ I expect that you do know and have all these informations at your finger tips and because I would be out of town for a few days and I would not want this place to be in chaos before I get back. Mr Bass likes things to be done accordingly , he hates last minutes changes and anything unorganized and uncoordinated so you would do well to listen, be sharp, be quick and attentive, you only have a couple of days to learn all these before I leave ..so understand your duties and I also expect that you keep your attitude in check, that thing you did in there would only reward you with a kick to the door and trust me, no one would miss you, they would forget you in a minute, and Mr Bass’s patience is thin, so don’t be smart.”

she takes her to her desk, right after hers “This is where you would be working..and try not to be lazy, He doesn’t like that, he likes us to be smart,punctual and know what we are doing and being paid for. Your first call of duty Is already in that file, get to it” Betty leaves her to herself

A girl smiles to her across the hall, Samantha smiles back.

***

For the next couple of days, Samantha does her job, and before long she was having the hang of things, even sometimes helping Sophie with some issues she is having and attending to projects Betty is too lazy about.

Then Betty goes on her leave, she would be out for two weeks, which meant that she was Mr Bass’s PA for that duration of time

And she wonders if she could switch with the secretary.

“Hi Sophie,good morning” Samantha walks to her

Sophie looks up and smiles “Oh hi Sam, how are you, how has this place being treating you, I know we don’t talk much even despite being in the same hall and stuff, Mr Bass keeps us on our toes…huh?”

“Oh yes he does.. and I would rather you call me Samantha or Brooke, Sam makes me feel as though I shouldn’t be having these full things on my chest” she answers, Sophie laughs “Ok Samantha”

Samantha nods, “So Betty is going to be on leave for two weeks and…”

“Oh yeah and boy am I glad, she just keeps blocking my chances with the Boss, dude did you see how hot and fine he was looking, “ she fans herself “ I mean..wow!!”

Samantha frowns “Okay…stop. Seriously you all need to get all those vibes away from me. What I mean is that, why don’t you PA for him while I take your spot for the rest of the week, cool?””

Her eyes sparkles “For real??;’’

“Yep, realer than Santa clause at the moment ” Samantha nods

“Oh wow!!” she claps in an excited glee

The Elevator door opens and then Sophie jumps “Oh my duty starts now, thanks babes, you don’t know how much this means to me” she carries the iPad, picks up the file Samantha drops on her desk as she came and rushes to meet him, Samantha walks round her table and sits

“Oh Good morning sir” she hears Sophie greet him

“Good morning Sophie, please coffee and where is Betty, she didn’t meet me downstairs” he says , not seeing Samantha as he walks to his door , opening it and entering, Sophie dances behind him, Samantha shakes her head, bends and begins to type what Sophia was typing halfway, she hears Sophie reminding him about Betty’s leave before the door shuts behind her.

The door opens up barely ten minutes later and then someone walks towards her, “Oh Sophie, this Tsuki ventures, isn’t it supposed to be on the construction file for Tuesday” Samantha says without looking up

“Stand up Miss Samantha and step into my office” he orders

Samantha’s head shots up “Sir? Good morning Mr Bas-“ she trails off as he turns and walks away, Sophie is behind him “I am sorry, he didn’t look happy about it “

“It’s okay” Samantha says going into the office

She knocks and enters, he is backing the door, facing the window

“You asked for me Sir”

“I wonder if there is something wrong with you or you are simply oblivious of your duties here, or you lack basic understanding of and for simple instructions Miss Brooke”

“I am sorry sir, I do not understand your burst of anger?’ she frowns, really she didn’t.

“You are supposed to be my Personal assistant for the duration of Betty’s leave is that not so?”

“Yes sir but ..”, he cuts her off with his index finger up,
