“You got a job? That’s great. ” she hugged me more tightly.
“Ok ok. Don’t make me choke.” I said trying to pull away her hands.
“And? ” She unhook herself from me and smiled at me.
” What? ” I asked.
“What job did you get? I mean i don’t saw you in finance department, are you appointed somewhere else? ” she snapped.
“Well kind of” I said not knowing what will be her reaction if I said the real truth.
“What do you mean kind of? Tell me exactly. ” she beamed.
“Well that…. I’m the Personal assistant. ” I said half of the truth.
“Personal assistant? ” she said looking at me with a bit confusion ” For whom? ”
“Mr. Gold. ” I smiled at her.
She stare at me for a while before burst out laughing. She was laughing so hard that she had her eyes closed.
“Why are you joking? You know people like us can’t have chance to work with those big shots. I mean someone gets lucky but that’s one in a million. ” she said as she got back to her previous laughter.
“What’s so funny? ” Rick came and joined our conversation.
“Nothing, she just said she’s personal assistant for Mr. Gold. I never thought that she was capable of bragging too. ” she said wiping her tears away of her cheeks.
Rick looked at me and don’t seemed surprised at all. He just looked at me with a mere smile and nodded. Meanwhile Anyee also stopped looking at his reaction and then her face started to fade it’s color. She looked at Rick eyes as she asked “Is she really…. Personal assistant? ”
“She attended today’s meeting along with secretary Liam and Mr Gold.” He said further “I wanted to ask her what was going on…. That was why I asked her to meet me. But seems like all the things are making sense now.”
“All the things? ” Anyee was a bit confused and asked.
“Yeah, I heard Liam came to finance department looking for her…. At the cafeteria I heard people saying that someone saw a girl on the top floor except for MS Bella Scultz. And her presence at the meeting hall.” Rick said as he caressed his beard that wasn’t even grown a bit in his clean shaved chin.
“So you really are personal assistant for our CEO? Ohh you are so lucky to get back on such a great position….” She said hugging me once again.
“When did you become so clingy? ” I asked her hugging back.
“Ohh by the way, when are you treating us to party for this awesome news? ” Anyee said with a cutest smile.
“Party? ” hehe little did she know I was doing this job without any salary.
“Yeah, you can treat us dinner at your house” she said.
“Dinner? ” but there would be Mr Gold eating with us. “No, not dinner ask something else. ”
“Then let’s go to clubbing, your treat? What do you say? ” She asked with her index finger pointing at me.
“I guess that will do. I think let’s go out on weekends. ” I offered.
“Yeah that’ll do. It’s been long we didn’t hung out together. ” she said excitedly “and where are Cami and Ethan? I haven’t heard from them too.”
“They are busy with their love life and job.” I said shrugging my shoulders. I was also hanging out less with them than before.
“I guess they won’t be busy at weekends. ” she said.
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I’ll call her, and ask her plans. ” she said as she opened her bag. But she couldn’t find her mobile no matter how much she tried.
“What happened? ” Rick asked looking concerned.
“My phone” she started scratching her head ” I guess I left it in washroom while coming out. ” she said.
“I’ll call…” Rick dialed her number.
“It’s ringing. ” he said.
“OK, please keep dialing. I’ll go and check” she said and walked a few steps before coming back.
“Give me your phone, I’ll just give it to you later.” She took Rick’s mobile without waiting for his answer. And then she ran towards the elevator.
“So how is everything? ” he asked.
“It’s fine. Everything is great. What about you? ” I asked him back.
“Life is almost the same with me. Nothing has changed much. ” he shrugged his shoulders.
‘Did you purpose her? ” I asked “I don’t think she knows about your feelings yet. ” I inquired.
“No, I haven’t. ”
“Don’t be too late. ” I smiled at him and he smiled back with a nod.
“Actually I’m planning to do so. I guess I’ll be needing your help with some of gifts and planning. ” he said with a bit serious tone.
“Of course, ask for anything. ” I smiled back.
“What are you guys talking about? ” Anyee came back.
“About you ” I said smilingly.
“About me? What is there to talk about me? ” sge asked giving the phone back to Rick .
“Just talking about your clumsyness. You can’t even remember where your phone is, I wonder who’ll be the unlucky guy to marry you.” Rick said as he pinched her nose.
Her nose webt bright pink with his pinch “Don’t do this. And I know the man to marry will be the luckiest. I’ll love him the most that he won’t regret his decision.” she said with confidence.
I smiled at her and then to Rick who was blushing so hard looking at her with admiration.
“You wish” He hit her on her head.
“You….” Anyee looked annoyed. Then she turned to me “Leave him, tell me how hard is the job? “She asked.
“I don’t know what’s on the way but all I did was making him coffee twice and attending a meeting with him. ” I said thinking about the day.
“So you are pretty much of a babysitter? ” she asked me.
“Shh…. He’s here. ” Rick alerted. We looked at the elevator and there Mr Gold was. Then a white Mercedes pulled in front of us and Mr Gold hopped in before driving away.
“He’s so handsome to be a human. ” Anyee said “You’re so lucky to work with him. ” she said with his hand clutching each other.
“Yes he’s a devil. ” Rick said looking away.
“Aww you’re just jealous to admit he is handsome than you. ” Anyee teased him and Rick’s face sank with a cold layer.
“Leave him, tell me how handsome is he from near? Is he more handsome? “she asked as if she was a fan girl.
“Ahh I didn’t looked at him clearly. ” I said as I remember his beautiful face and deep voice with calm eyes.
“Well tell me how did you get this job?” she asked again with happy face.
“I…..”
“Stop it Anyee. ” Rick said “Didn’t you said that you have an appointment with your hair stylist in a while. ” he said.
“Ohh… I almost forgot.” she looked at the time and panicked. “It’s already late by now, thank you Rick. I’ll go now Riley. We will talk later. ” She said patting on my head.
I nodded at her and she gave me smile filled with guilt. She hopped in her car and get away from there.
“You need lift? ” he asked me.
“No, no I’m fine. I already booked a cab. I guess it’s waiting here. ” I lied him.
“OK then. We’ll meet again from now on. ” He waves his hand to me.
I also waved goodbye to him. He then went to the park lot and I…. I came out of the Company’s gate.
I waited for a while to look for any bus or cab but nothing came by. Shh…. It’s better if I walked for a few minutes untill I get some vechile. I mean I’ll got on if I got. Or else Rick may see me here. I thought to myself.
I walked a few steps and then I felt a vibration on my bag. I knew I have kept my phone on vibration mode. I fished out my phone from my bag.
“Mr. Rude” appear on the screen. Why would Mr. Gold call me at this time? Office hour had ended and it’s not even a time to cook dinner. I pick up the phone.
“Hello”
I had just picked up the call when a cab came and drove past me before it stopped a few steps ahead of me. I walked up to it and saw it was empty so, I opened the back door and hopped inside.
“Hello” I looked at the phone in my hand and saw the call wasn’t disconnected yet “Hello, what were you saying? I didn’t hear anything….”
Beep…. Beep…. Beep….
The call got disconnected before I say something more or understand what did he say????
