Homepage/A PICTURE OF HIM/
chapter 5
My boss has already arrived, she was looking elegant like always but with a mean face too, I'm not scared of her look anymore, but I was when I initially started; I could still remember how I cried in the presence of the customers because she scolded me, lolz. My boss can be anything but one thing you can't take from her is her elegance, her fashion sense, walking step, composure and almost everything about her should be a case study for all women. I walked towards her without fears and greeted her not minding my colleagues she was standing with, including Jessica was with her but I didn't look her side.
"Will you come here immediately?",Mrs. Tim said, sounding like a military personnel. Even though I was courageous, I stayed a mile away from her to dodge her slap, she really doesn't know how to control her hands.
I came to where they were standing and she asked me to join the queue. It was an emergent arrangement.
Then she continued with what she was saying before I interrupted, Mr. Nich the new customer said he would be here in a few moment with some business personnels, he needs the best service.
"Clara, you will be the one to attend to him and mind you, I don't want any mistakes neither do I want to loose him as a customer, he is honourable and we need to honour him," she added and I nodded in affirmation. I never expected to be given such task because I don't even go close to my boss, Jessica literally does everything to please her, so why me? Maybe, Mr. Nich told her I was the one that attended to him the first time.
"Clara you look like an Angel," Mrs. Tim complimented. I couldn't find my mouth, I stared at her in disbelief, my mean boss said I'm beautiful that means I'm actually more than her compliment, I felt like jumping and booing Jessica, now I'm ready to enjoy anything that will cost her pain, I turned to watch her reaction and I could see the built up jealousy including other ladies. Karl was just smiling like he was a fan including the other guys.
"I will love you to attend to them," Mrs. Tim said. "Be very professional and careful," she said and left. I knew this is a position Jessica really wanted and not getting it has increased her hate.
Unexpectedly I jumped to Karl and gave out a loud shout. "Dear Karl, hope they will honor me," I asked him sounding a bit petty. He told me how breath-taking I looked and wished me luck.
Everyone went back to their duty office, I stood at my office waiting for Mr. Nich and his business partners. I knew jumping on Karl was really extreme but I did that to get to Jessica. Few minutes later, Mr. Nich and his teams walked in; they were looking so handsome and great. The blue suit looking so nice on them and their personality speaks power and wealth. I walked towards them immediately to usher a seat. The majestic walking was so great that I admire myself. It's surprising how I can actually do well in modelling.
"Good morning sir," I greeted them, without waiting for their replies, "here is your table," I added. I could feel their eyes on my body but I ignored everything. The first day I met Mr. Nich, I embarrassed myself but today I won't let myself down, with a beautiful smile on my face I asked for their choice of coffee which they answered individually. I walked out giving that vibe of a diamond princess towards the preparation room.
"Please treat them so well," my boss voice stopped me, she was standing close to the watching counter, maybe she was watching us to know when I have done wrong, so she can take-up from there.
My boss is mean and unappreciative,but when it get to business, she is really down to earth, she is really worth the position which she is currently holding as the best coffee shop, maintaining and improving the standard has not been easy, she is so smart and calculative.
"Yes ma," I said and walked away.
I did the coffee and made sure it was so perfect, I thank God my boss gave a warning, so no one would leave their duty post for any reason, if not I would be scared of Jessica's retaliation, she is really good in thinking evil. I carried the coffee to their table, with their eyes almost pushing me down.
After serving the coffee, I turned to leave and watch them from my office post.
"Join us please, one of Mr, Nich's team said. I stared at him not knowing the response to give. "Please seat with us," Mr. Nich added and I sat.The man introduced himself as Mr. Dotty, he kept on talking about my beauty, he seems to be exaggerating it. It's funny how I turned to their personal cinema, though it takes a whole lot to do that but I give the flower to myself. I got lots of appreciation that I felt like dressing like this always or maybe twice a week. After a long time of fun and gist, they were ready to leave, least I forget, they bought me a coffee too but I didn't serve myself, I was served by a colleague. Being a boss is really a sweet feeling.
"What can I do to appreciate you," Mr. Nich asked on our way out of the coffee shop. The question meant a lot to me but I really need to be professional right now, "Nothing sir." I replied with a more Charming smile.
Lord , please let him ask again, I prayed silently.
"I really want to do something for you, so please do me that honour to make a wish."
I looked at him for a while, his cute face looking innocently handsome, his lips, oh my God, I tried to get off the admiration.
"Will you help me clear my name from the blogs," I asked him. I knew it was an impossible wish but giving a try is not bad. "Clear your name from what exactly." he asked looking so confused.
I explained everything that transpired between Jessica and I, I didn't know I was tearing up already. Unexpectedly, he wiped my tears with his handkerchief. "Thank you" I muttered. We took few pictures which he asked me to upload and he will comment on my post. He really wanted to go live with me but has a lot to do and also not a social butterfly, he said.
He took my Facebook handle and left with his team, I stood biding them goodbye until they were out of sight, I felt very big relieve hoping he will, thank God for seeing me through from whom I never expected. Mr. Nich is down to earth.
But, why would he even sacrifice that, bloggers will still make headlines, I said to myself.Download Novelah App
