Authoress POV
The next day, Hilton and Dave got up early from bed. Today was Dave’s first day at work.
Hilton and Dave got dressed and got into one of Hilton’s cars.
The driver dropped them at the company and drove off.
Dave has started his journey of revenge. Unlike before, Dave now has a plan and all thanks to his reunion with his best friend.
Dave POV
I and Dave walked towards his office. All eyes were on us.
I even heard some ladies ask who that handsome hunk beside the boss is but I paid no attention to them.
Hilton was greeted by his employees as he passed by them.
Finally, we reached his office and he closed the door behind us.
He sat down at his desk and sighed.
I made myself comfortable on the seat in front of him.
He did some paperwork and then looked up at me.
“You will be my secretary.” He said.
“Okay sir.” Dave replied and they both laughed.
“You don’t have to call me that we are friends.” He said.
“It doesn’t matter Hilton. This is a working space. I have to refer to you as sir.” I replied.
“Wow. Such a smart ass. You will become co-owner of this company in no time. I can tell when I see talent or much rather, in this case, wisdom.” He said.
“Really? Thank you.” I replied.
“Okay. I’ll call someone to direct you to your desk.” He said.
“Okay but, what about the person that had the job of secretary before me?” I asked.
“He is getting fired today.” Hilton replied.
“What? Why? I hope I’m not the cause of it.” I asked.
“No no Dave. You are not the cause of anything. It’s just that I’ve been looking for a replacement so I can fire him. He is such a lazy employee and never gets anything done on time.” Hilton replied.
“Okay.” I replied.
“I’ll start work today right?” I asked.
“Yes of course. I just need you to sign some papers. I’ll send it to your desk shortly.” Hilton said.
Hilton picked his phone from his desk and dialed a number.
“Hello.” He said.
“Please come to my office immediately.” He added and dropped the call.
“She will be here in a minute.” Hilton said.
A knock came to the door almost immediately.
“Come in.” Hilton said.
A lady came in and greeted us both.
“I need you to take Mr Dave here to the desk meant for a secretary.” Hilton said.
“Also, teach him everything there is to know about being a secretary.” Hilton added.
“Okay sir. I will do that immediately.” She replied.
“This way sir.” She turned to me and said.
I stood up and bid farewell to Hilton. I let the lady lead the way as I followed her from behind.
I noticed that she was dropping and bending to pick her pen a bit too many times.
I chose to ignore her and just continue following her.
She showed me my desk and I sat on my seat.
She turned to leave but then she stopped in her tracks.
“By the way.” She said.
She drew closer to me, her body leaned over the desk, as if about to kiss me but then stopped.
“My name is Amanda.” She said.
We shook each other’s hands and I asked her what my first lesson was.
She rolled her eyes at me and walked sexily to the side of my desk.
“Why don’t you loosen up a bit?” She asked.
“I’m here for work not for fun. Are you giving me lessons or should I inform the boss about your behavior?” I threatened.
“Go ahead. He won’t believe you. I’m the most hard working employee of the month and you have no proof against me that would make him believe you.” She said.
I laughed very hard. She got surprised by my reaction.
“What’s so funny?” She asked in a tone that clearly showed she was annoyed.
“I don’t need a proof to make him believe me. I’m his childhood friend.” I said in a serious tone.
“Huh?” She said.
“That’s right.” I replied.
“How do I know if you are really telling the truth?” She asked.
I stood up from my seat and started walking towards Hilton’s office. Before I could go to far, she blocked my way.
“Hey, where do you think you are going? I’m not done teaching you about the job of the secretary.” She said.
I decided to spare her and go back to my desk.
“You may begin.” I said.
She filled me in on all the details and as the pro that I am, I grasped everything in one go.
I was never one of those people that needed to be taught one thing over and over again.
I always get everything in one go and maximum of two goes.
Amanda left my desk and then another lady came to me.
“These are the paperwork you have to complete in order for job application for a secretary to be completed.” She said.
She dropped paperwork on my desk and left. I got to work on them immediately.
There was supposed to be a break by two. Right now it’s just five minutes away.
I wanted to go straight to Hilton’s office but I decided to call first.
I picked up the telephone on my desk and dialed his number. He picked the call.
“Boss, I was wondering if you are coming out for a lunch break with me.” I said.
“Sorry Dave. I’m in a very important meeting right now.” He said.
“Oh. I guess I’ll be on my own there.” I said.
“Yeah, it seems so.” Hilton replied.
“Okay.” I said and dropped the call.
I asked around and I found out there is a cafeteria in company.
I followed some directions and I found it.
I got what I wanted and I found a table to seat at. I started eating and the food was quite explicit.
I never knew they’d serve such good food here. I must praise the chef.
Once I was done with my food I went to the kitchen.
I saw a cook there and asked him who the chef is. He pointed at someone who had his back turned. Or is that a she? It was hard to tell because of the cloth he or she wore.
I went straight to the person and tapped his or her shoulder from behind.
The person turned around and it was a lady. I could swear I knew her.
“Dave?” She said in surprise.
“You know me?” I asked.
“Oh, so you don’t remember me? Silly, it’s me, Kathryn!” She said.
“Kathryn?” I said.
We both hugged each other.
