When I entered the office, they both were coming towards the door. I feel a bit panicked, Liam had asked me to come fast.
“You are late ” Liam said to me.
“Let’s go ” Mr Gold said while moving past me.
“What should I do with this coffee?” I asked him.
He stopped in his track and turned back slowly. He then came up to me and look at the coffee. He smelled it and grinned ” This is way too strong. ” he said.
I look at him and was a bit annoyed. ” You said strong one and plus you haven’t tasted it. ” I said in a small voice.
“I did said strong but if I say this is too strong then this is. ” he said and moved out of the office.
“Wait….” I tried to stop them but they just went out “What am I supposed to do? ”
I looked around the big office and felt so irritated. They said that I was his personal assistant…. Wasn’t I supposed to be by his side all the time? But it’s what a secretary do too.
I was loss in my thoughts when the door burst open once again and Liam showed up.
“Mr Gold asked you to follow us to the meeting room. ” he said.
“Meeting room? Why would he need me there?”
“I don’t know and don’t question. You are supposed to be assisting him everywhere. ” he said.
I quietly got up and followed him step by step. This time I didn’t looked around, just to avoid those questioning gazes. After a while Liam stopped and looked at me “Did you know before that he was appointing you as his personal assistant? ” he asked.
I shook my head in response. “I just knew he was going to make me under his company. ” I said.
“He asked me to make an agreement paper, and I didn’t expected any of those conditions. Girls usually tries to stay near him.” he said.
“Maybe…” I shrugged my shoulders and he started moving again.
Mr Gold was waiting for us in front of his elevator. I looked at Liam to ask if I should go in with him or just use different one.
“You both come in fast. I don’t have whole day. ” he said looking at us coldly.
We quickly moved to his side and stood at each side behind him.
Liam pressed 12 and then stood at his previous place. And after that there was a deep silence inside the elevator. I was standing even stopping my breathe because I was nervous to face the people in there. I don’t want to make a fool out of myself, but the thing was I don’t know what was I supposed to there. Was I going to babysit him?
“I’m not a child. ” Mr gold broke the silence and I literally jumped up in air. I gasped and hold my mouth from screaming. What? How did he know what I was thinking. I looked at my side to see Liam. And he was looking at me and Mr gold with confusion.
Ding….
The elevator door slide open and we came out of it. The floor in front of me had different color on it walls then the top floor or the finance department.
We went through the long corridor before entering a giant hall. No employees were working here, maybe this was built for something else. I said to myself.
When we entered the meeting hall, it was full with lots of people. I don’t know them all but I saw few of familiar figure in between of them. The first with whom my eyes meet were Erick Shand, sister Skyler’s husband. And then I spotted Mr. Nolan Reid. He smiled sweetly at me and I smiled back at him.
I was going to the last seat which was for Mr Gold to sit. I actually was tailing behind Me Gold and Liam.
When I reach the middle, I saw our HR manager Mellisa sitting next to Rick. OMG, all the people I know back then are all here. I gave a small nod to Mellisa and Rick . And surprisingly Melissa responded back with a smile while Rick hold his hand up in air with excitement.
While I reach at the last there was Bella Schultz at the right side of Mr Gold.
Mr. Gold got seated on his chair and Liam sat next to him. I stood there just like that. There were no chairs for me.
Mr. Gold signaled something to Liam and he asked the meeting to begin.
Thankfully the light was turned off to use the projector and I feel safe actually. It was awkward to see the people looking at you as if you are new creature.
Mr Gold nodded once and I went up to him to ask what did he need now.
“Go and sit there ” he whispered.
I look back where he was asking to sit me and I saw a couch there. Gosh, just how stupid I was to not to see such a big furniture right in front of you…. Riley… Git your eyes checked up. I scolded myself inside my own head.
I nodded at him even though he wasn’t looking at me and walked up to the sofa. Even though the light was off I can saw the sofa there. I sat there and let them discuss about their company and all.
In a while the light turned on again and then they keep discussing about some western lake project and some lake house or something. I wasn’t interested and wasn’t a part of it so, I didn’t gave much attention to it either.
I was sitting there facing the ground when I heard my name. I looked up to see Bella Schultz waving at me to come to her.
I got up and walked up to her. She handed me a handful of documents.
“Distribute each copy to all of them. ” she said and got back to their previous discussion. The papers were way too heavy. I took the half of them only and begin to gave them all.
“Meet me after office hours. ” Rick whispered in my ears. I nodded and moved forward. After that when I gave the copy to Mr Nolan. He said “hello” to me. He was at the last and I can go back now.
“Hello sir. ” I replied him and wanted to come back while he said “I want to talk to you after the meeting. ”
I couldn’t say no to him so I nodded but then I felt a burning gaze at me. I looked the other side and saw Mr. Gold looking at me with bloodshot eyes.
I quickly got straight and walked back to the sofa where he asked me to sit.
The discussion went on and on about two hour. I was feeling sleepy and beginning to doze off…. But thankful the meeting come to an end before I black off.
“Riley, come on. Let’s go now. ” Liam said and I woke up. Everyone else have already left by now and Mr Gold wasn’t there either. I quickly got up and walked to him.
He gave me some of papers while he had some in his hand and begin to walk. I also followed behind him. When we went out of the door, Mr. Nolan Reid was waiting for me there .
“Hii” he waved at me.
“Hello sir. ” I said politely and Liam looked back at me.
“I’ll come in a while. ” I said to him. He said nothing and walked to the elevator.
“How have you been? ” he asked.
“I’m fine sir. ”
“Why are you here? ” he asked me in a serious tone “I guess you were fired back then. Were you suspended? ”
“No no, Mr Reid I was really fired back then. It’s just I’m hired again. ” I said .
“Then why aren’t you at finance instead here with Mr. Gold? ”
“I’m I’m Mr Gold’s PA now. ”
“What? ” he gasped.
I nodded at him.
“You should go, he might be angry if you got late. ” he said.
Ohh, I know he must be angry by now.
“OK sir, see you around. ”
“bye”
I ran towards the elevator to ran to the top floor but Mr Gold and Liam were still there. Are they waiting for me?
“From now on, you can’t use my elevator until I say you can.” he said and opened his elevator. He and Liam went in and the door closed.
But why?
I shook my thoughts and tried to open other elevators to catch up with them. He might be more angry if I don’t reach again quickly.
