CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
“ I’m just so glad Mr Harlow is ok although I can’t believe you finally accepted to be secretary , did he charm you or something ?” Zoey asked
“ Charm ? Pfft … no way , I guess he was just really persistent and I couldn’t help but agree to his terms “ I said
“ Wow I’m happy for you babe “
“ Happy? Dude that guy just confessed his desire to smash me bluntly , of course he wants me as his secretary so he can easily get in my pants “ I said
“ so ? What’s wrong with getting in your pants ? Girl it’s been a year since you dated or probably had sex last , let this guy rock your world “ she said
“ My world doesn’t need rocking Miss Miller “ I said
“ Oh speaking of Mr Harlow I think it’s my turn to be in trouble with him now “
“ what happened ?” I asked
“ Well when you got kidnapped , I tried every possible scheme to get him to come , so I was –“
“ Really rude to him ?” I completed
“ Whoa how did you know ?” she asked
“ You’re Zoey , your answer to everything is violence “ I replied
“ gee thanks , what am I going to do now ? I think he’s not aware that I work in his company “ she said
“ I guess it’s your turn to hide now Zo , run baby run far away “ I said laughing
“wow my mystery must amuse you so much “
“ Honestly , I can’t even imagine the words you said to him “ I said
“ well it wasn’t that bad , I called him a whimp , told him he’s the kind of white boy that’s got 911 on speed dial and said he was enjoying white privileges “ she said
“ Damn girl ! How do you plan to keep your job now ?”
“ wow Laura you’re a really good friend “ she said sarcastically
“ Your sarcasm isn’t needed Miss Miller , you just have to avoid him , you’re on the tenth floor it’s a really long way from the top floor “ I said
“ you’re right I’ll probably never see him , you know how big the company is “ she said which made me laugh
“ I’m honestly picturing his reaction as you said those words to him “
“ But I ain’t gon lie girl , that dude is so easy to insult , he kept getting on my nerves every second “ she said
“ That’s Mr Harlow for you , probably one of the most annoying creature in earth “
“ Wow I wish you good luck on being his secretary “ she said
“ Thank you ma “ I said bowing a little
.
.
“ Good morning Mr chest “ I greeted
“ Oh good morning Miss Paley , trust you had a good night rest “
“ umm … yes thank you “
“ Mr Harlow told me to put you through on everything that goes on here , kindly have your seat ma’am “ he said and I sat opposite him .
I must say ,this guy is really professional.
“ First things first , let’s start with your dressing “ he said
Here we go
“ This is an handbook to help you on how to dress “ he said giving me a book
Thank goodness , for a minute there I thought he was going to give me a heap of books to read or something…
“ Thank you “ I said then he pointed at another pile of books
“ This book talks about how you’ll dress on outings with Mr Harlow , this one is about things Mr Harlow likes , this one is about things he hates , this one talks about how to manage his schedule and assignment’s –“
And just like that the list went on and on , I guess I spoke too soon .
After what seemed like forever he stopped .
“ come with me “ he said taking me to God knows where , after few minutes we stopped in front of a huge mahogany door . He opened the door and I saw a small desk and chair .
“ This is your office Miss Paley , it’s right in front of the CEO’S office “ he said
Oh …I looked at the furniture , I can really get used to this you know .
“ And now to Mr Harlow’s office , it’s office right behind this door “ he said pointing to a door
“ oh … ok “ I said
“ You should go in “ he said
“ why ?” I asked
“ You have to study how things are arranged in the office , and also there’s another handbook there to help you on how to prepare Mr Harlow’s coffee “ he said
Wow , just wow I thought he said I was his outing secretary , now I have to prepare his coffee ? Who the hell needs an handbook to prepare a cup of coffee?
“ ok thank you “ I said walking into the huge office infront of me , I closed the door and made my way to the neatly arranged table .
I grabbed the coffee making handbook and checked it .
Wow ! I don’t think I can ever learn how to make this coffee , apparently rich people’s coffee is different from ours .
“ I checked the desk and saw a computer , books , pen ,sketches , a chronicle , an anab –
Wait a minute , a chronicle ?
I picked up the chronicle and smiled at the title , it read
A soliloquy only you can listen to …
Awwwwnnn , who knew Mr Harlow could be so sweet , I can’t believe he has a diary , I’m definitely reading it .
I opened the first page
19/07/21
I found out a very shocking truth today , mom didn’t like –
Wait a minute , I shouldn’t be doing this , this is somebody else’s diary , it’s rude to go through it .
“ Miss Paley are you done checking ?” Mr chest said dragging me out of my thoughts
“ umm yeah “ I said
“ ok then , let’s move on to the next stage “ he said
.
