novelxo Chapter Sharing An Office With The Devil
The weather was so cool in New York City, Amy was tired because of everything that had happened all throughout the previous day.
With some reluctance, she got out of bed. As it was already 6:50 a. m. She had to arrive at work promptly.
She had been in Elena's house since they had returned and Elena had personally told her to stay with her.
She was a good friend so why not. Just there was the house she had purchased, with no one staying there.
She was not worried about the kids because the maid had dressed them for school, so she was happy about that.
She got up quickly and got ready for work; she was both happy and saddened by the thought of seeing her new boss. Oh, what an emotion? The fear of what happened yesterday still dawns on her.
She was done with bathing and had eaten lunch, the kids had already gone to school. Wearing her well-ironed blue shirt, modest skirt, and polished black stilettos, she applied a light makeup of pink lipstick and mascara. Her heart still pondered on how she would face her boss.
She finished because there was not much left to grab. She quickly packed her black Gucci designer handbag and headed out to work.
She greeted her coworkers as soon as she entered the office, and they returned her greetings. That a few of them had been kind to her made her happy.
However, her heart began to beat faster the more she entered. She was ready to get into the lift and ride up to her office floor.
She was ready to get into the lift and ride up to her office floor. She walked up to her and this made her halt.
"Good morning Mrs. Agnes. She said to the woman who was smiling and this made her heart calm down. "Maybe I won't lose my job." She said in her head.
"Good morning dear, please this is what you need to work on." She said and handed a file to her.
"Okay ma." She said receiving the file from her with a smile and was about walking in when she spoke up again.
"Sorry, It escaped my mind. Your office desk has been moved to a new position."
The woman said to her.
Amy was already smiling broadly. She was happy she won't be sharing a joint office with Redford
"But was it because of what happened yesterday?" She asked in her head lost in thought. Though she was so happy.
"You will be staying in the same office with the boss, your table is closer to his. He instructed the table to be set in that manner."
"Closer to who?" She asked if her head had not really registered what the woman had said. Her eyebrows twitched in confusion and irritation.
"Yes, you really are extremely fortunate. No personal assistant has ever sat close to the boss, not even in the joint office you were in, and you are supposed to be happy. Previous personal assistants were even reprimanded for merely making eye contact." Sipping from her hot coffee cup, the woman spoke.

This woman has to be extremely naive if she can not recognize that the man in question is a devil. "I still can't understand, I didn't complain about the office I was in and I am okay there." She struck her forehead in protest, showing signs of annoyance.
"There is nothing you can do dear, he is the boss of the company and things are done the way he wants." She paused for a while. "Sometimes I wonder if the rumor is true." She said and sipped her drink..
"What rumors?" Amy asked curiosity in her tone as she stared at her like a moron.
"Mrs Agnes, your attention is needed right now." A man who wore a uniform meant for the company cleaning staff shoved in.
"Okay I will be there right away." Mrs Agnes said and pinched Amy's cheeks.
"Good luck dear." She said as she hurried out.
"Goodluck?" She couldn't help but repeat what the woman had just said.
After minutes of shock, she managed to throw her wobbly legs and entered the elevator, her heart in chaos. "How can I sit close to a devil? She couldn't help but ask herself, the beep sound of the elevator made her realize she was now on the top floor she wanted to go in.
She entered the office and was happy he hadn't come yet. Her eyes fell on the table and her mouth opened agape.
"Impossible! The desk was so close not even one feet away.
Her files were neatly arranged on her desk as her eyes rolled from her table to his. Her face was filled with irritation.
She managed to walk up to her desk when she realized that she hadn't gone through the manual that had the information of all that the boss needed before his arrival. It was given to her by Mr. Agnes after the interview she had with her. She sat down only to go through it and pain surged in her veins. "Impossible! She shouted and slammed the desk.
"This man is indeed heartless." She mumbled as she continued to go through the manual.
In the manual, It was indeed like a times table of her duty.
"Monday morning by 8:00 Am prepare a hot coffee for the boss before he arrives. Make sure you don't add much sugar. Make sure everything is in order." All these and many more were in the manual.
The manual was indeed annoying and she angrily slammed the manual on the table. Glancing at her wrist watch It was already 7:50 AM as hurried to prepare the coffee before the devil arrived.
After she was done preparing the coffee she served it on the table as the anger dawned on her that she would be doing this everyday as a daily routine.
"I will make sure I make him regret the fact that he made our desk close. It won't be funny." She said and smiled devilishly to herself
She sat down roughly on her office chair as she continued to draw what she had left unfinished yesterday before the devil came to suffocate her.
