ANGELINA

I woke up early in the morning and quickly prepare myself...I was really bursting with happiness this morning...Earlier,the manager have told me that due to how diligent I am with my work,I have been transferred to our partners company who really show interest in having me work with him

I know I am skillful and hardworking but for the richest CEO of the biggest, renowned and most popular organization nation wide to show interest in my skill is something that never stop lighten up my mood since I heard the news

Me: Wow ! Angelina you are so great!( Smiling)

( I tidy up my room and then stood beside the standing me...I dressed corporately in my black skirt and white shirt...I tucked in the shirt firmly ,grabbed a brush and brush my hair till its very smooth...I packed my hair in a ponytail and then reapplied a little lip gloss ...I hardly used body spray but today I feel like using it.. I grabbed the spray and sprayed it on my body before returning it to my initial position...I grabbed my black shoes and put it on ,took my handbag and hurriedly walked out

I got down from the car and walked towards the company...I glanced up looking at the Logan Tony global organization (LTGO ) boldly scribbled on the board... Unlike seeing on TV,it's look much bigger and beautiful looking now....Different car are parked in the company parking lot....I smiled then heaved a sigh of relief before walking in....

I automatically stopped walking upon setting my foots inside the company,the inside look much bigger and the interior fitted well for a company...I watched. For a while as people and workers go about with their activities...They are all really serious with their works....The security walked to me

Security: morning miss,can I help you?

Me: Oh sorry,I have an appointment with the CEO,I am from saponara ...

Security: Okay ...kindly spare me a minute of your time...I need to scan your body

( I rolled my eyes, while he used the scanning machine on me)

Security: Thanks ,just go forward to the secretary,she is the lady dressed in white gown over there

Me: Thanks

( I walked to the said secretary)

Me: Good morning

Secretary: Good morning,how may I help you miss

Me: I have an appointment with the CEO...I am from saponara

Secretary: Oh you must be the miss Roberts,boss have already mentioned it to me....Please follow me while I lead you to his office

Me: Oh.. thanks

( She lead the way while I followed behind her,we stood in front of the office with a tag on the door ,"Office of the CEO boldly scribbled on it...The secretary pressed the button and then we heard a faintly come in from inside....She opened the door and we both walked in....The CEO was busy writing whatever on his desk...We stood there in silence while I used the opportunity to scrutinized the office. It was so big, spacious and neatly furnished....For an office ,it was more than conducive.... I was still looking around when the secretary finally talked)

Secretary: Sir,I have bring the miss Roberts from saponara

Tony: oh really,hi miss

( I quickly stopped checking the office and turned to him but my jaw practically dropped ....I blinked my eyes more than normal , slapped my cheek and ,closed my eyes then opened it again. ...He was more than surprised to believe his eyes too because his expression scesmed it too..)

Secretary: what is happening here?

( I turned to the secretary)

Me: I should be asking you what is happening here...I told you I want to see the CEO not Mr accident zone

Secretary: Excuse me,I don't understand what you meant by accident zone or whatever but this is our CEO, Logan Tony

( Mr anonymous grinned upsetting me more)

Me : look here,you shouldn't play a prank on me...I know I have been a jerk to you these days but you shouldn't pay me back with this.just stand up from that seat and show me the real Logan Tony this instant!

Tony: ( grinning)Hey crazy Lina! I am Logan Tony

Me: ( laughing mockingly) of course you are! Stop playing your prank on me Mr wounded snail....In fact I have to be dreaming! Maybe seeing that anonymous man often Is tormenting me...It's must be an hallucination....

( I immediately rushed toward the CEO and grabbed his cheekbones which I pinched hard...He struggled to freed himself )

Tony:(shouted in pain) let go of me you crazy girl

Me: never! I need to be sure if this isn't a dream

( The secretary rushed to me and forcefully dragged me from him...He rubbed his cheek )

Secretary: Am sorry sir! Am really sorry sir

Me: You don't have to be sorry,he just messed with the wrong person...tell him to show me the real CEO instead.I don't care if he is a close relative to the CEO...he should just stop whatever he is scheming...I won't fall for it!

(The secretary turned to me really angry)

Secretary: what the hell do you think you are doing, ( pointed to a frame in a corner of the room) Look there and tell me what you see beneath that frame! It reads " CEO LTGR" can you see the gravity of what you've just done

I turned to the CEO but he glared at me and grabbed his phone making a call

Tony: Hello manager! Never am I gonna employed this crazy Lina of a girl! ( Paused and frowned) Yes ,I know I was the one that told you to transfer her to my company but what do you expected me to do when you were pitying her because your CEO wanted her fired!I have a blood running through my veil too and I also needed an assistant ! Just forget but there is no way am hiring her ! Never!

( He ended the call and I walked closer to him not believing what I just heard)

Me:(stuttering) what ..do you mean the CEO wanted me fired...like I don't get you

TONY

I ended the call and glared hard at her...my cheeks still hurt from her hard pinch and the more it stung,the more my anger increase...She walked closer to me as if I just dropped a bombshell

Angelina: What do you mean...the CEO wanted me fired ... like I don't get you

Me: You heard me right !

Angelina: ( laughed sarcastically) you are kidding right! I was told the CEO of LTGR saw how diligent I was and pleaded that I should be transferred to him as his assistant...now what the hell are you saying

Me:( chuckled) Me? Pleaded? Your manager might have say that to save your ass from embarrassment! I can never plead for anything especially a crazy lady like you...I made a mistakes not asking to see the person before I left the manager office and thats what I just paid for but am not gonna accept someone like you as my assistant!

Angelina; see, I am sorry...it just that I didn't believed you are the CEO...I thought you were playing a prank on me

Me: A lady in her right mind would have asked curtly but you went to this extent of pinching my cheeks and blabbing rubbish! How the hell do you want me to employ you after that! If I do ,then you will surely be my death! Just go back

Angelina: I am so.....

Me: ( interrupt and turned to the secretary) Alice, get her out of my office now

(Alice turned to her)

Alice: Miss Roberts,you will have to come out of this office Please

Angelina: Miss secretary,help me to beg....

Alice: please just follow me miss

( They Headed to the door but once at the door,she turned back )

Angelina: I will be at the lobby ! Just temper your justice with mercy! Please my snail!

( They finally went out but I could still her her voice pleading...I stood up and walked to my bathroom to check my cheek)

Me: ouch! No wonder why it stug...It's all red now ! What a crazy !doubled digit IQ girl! I will never employ that dummy as my pa! I don't want to die of trouble!

( I returned to my seat but I couldn't continue what I was doing...instead I begin to think of what to do to the crazy Lina)

ANGELINA

I shouldn't have did that ! Oh God! I shouldn't have pinced his cheeks maybe he wouldn't be so angry like that....I was feeling on top of the world thinking my skill has led me to a greater opportunity but hardly did I know I was fired And he just took pity on me....But what did I do to deserve being fired? Why did I got fired despite giving the company my best? For the past few years, i dedicated my days and nights to saponara but is this what they are gonna used to repay me...I wasn't even given a tangible reason for being fired!

I checked my watch and discovered that I have been sitting here for two hours...that explained why my butt hurts

Me: ( mumbled) won't this arrogant CEO have mercy on me

( Just then I saw him coming down from the stairs,our eyes met and I smiled hoping he has changed his mind but instead he begin to walk pass me ...I was disappointed and frustrated)

Me: you arrogant snail that lacks manner! I know I did wrong but you are taking it far!

( Tony turned to me with a pleading eyes but I wasn't even planning to stop ,I will say whatever I feel like before keeping quiet...Some of the workers and client turned away from their activities and turned to look at us)

Me: yes am referring to you Mr CEO! Isn't it enough that you made me waited and sit here for the past two hours,isnt that punishment enough for what I did! You are still walking out like I wasn't visible...I already say sorry,so why wouldn't you still forgive me? Huh? Why? Are you God? Is God you? So why.............

( I couldn't complete my statement because he rushed to me, covered my mouth with his palm and dragged me to his office.... Already in his office,I bite him and he quickly let go of my mouth)

Tony: ouch!!! Angelina are you crazy!

Me: Do you wanna suffocate me! I found it so difficult to breath

Tony: you moron! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT! DO YOU REALIZE THIS IS A COMPANY! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY THAT IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL THOSE PEOPLE!

( I flinced a little)

Me: well, you pissed me off too! You don't even have it at the back of your mind that someone is still waiting there for the past two hours

Tony: But that doesn't mean you should create a stupid scene like that! You should have talked to me calmly

Me: well! I lose myTemper anytime I am hungry

(He looked at me for a while before giving up and sitting on his chair)

Tony: You are just a pain in the ass!

Me:( smiling) I know

( He rolled his eyes and then signalled to me to sit dowm...I sat down)

Tony: If you wanna work as my Pa then there are some rules you have to follow

Me: okay?

Tony: You must be punctual, Discreet and trustworthy,your flexibility and adaptability must be intact,you must have a good oral and written communication skills,you must be able to multitask,you must......

Me:( cuts in) I know all that!

( He glared at me)

Tony: Don't interrupt when I am addressing you! That's the first thing you should take into consideration before walking here...you don't talk until I asked you too and when I did ,you should either answer with a yes or no....okay?

Me: yes....

Tony: Your work's here is to see to all the calls, email and messages that i should be aware of, organising my meetings and appointment's, booking and arranging my travels, organizing events and conferences,reminding me of important tasks and it's deadlines, typing, compiling and preparing reports and presentations, collating and feeling expenses and you must delegate works during my absence and.......

Me:( interrupt) but Isnt that too much for a.........

Tony:( cuts in and glared at me) I told you that you mustn't interrupt until I asked a question and it's either you reply me with a yes or no!

( I stared at the floor)

Tony: Angelina summarize everything I told you now

Me:( smiled) yes sir!

Tony: Am listening to you

Me: Yes sir!

Tony: Is that what I asked you to do?

Me: Yes sir!

( He stood up and furiously hit his hand on his table....I flinced)

Me: What happened?

Tony: you can still ask me what happened! I asked you a simple " summarize everything you just heard" and you are here shouting "Yes sir"

Me: chill Mr snail....

Tony:( cuts in) it's either "sir" or boss to you

Me: well boss, I am just listening to your order,you said I shouldn't interrupt when you were talking until you asked me a question and if you did,I should only reply with either yes or no...so what did I do wrong?

Tony:( faced palmed) Oh my God!
