A Billionaire's Lost Love novel Chapter 4

I nodded. By how he explained my job description, it didn't seem to be too much of a work. I would just be the helping hand of the main assistant. And for someone who never took courses in college related to this job, I found each task to be quite easy.

"Do you have any other questions for me, Miss Ryuk?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Are you ready for your first day at work?" he asked another.

I let out a deep sigh and pinned my hands in between my thighs. "Honestly, I'm nervous, Mr. Kim. I never expected to be working at such a prestigious company and at such a high position. I can only hope that I do a good job," I replied.

He nodded. "I understand how you feel. And I deeply apologize for the sudden start of your work. It was requested by the boss. But like I said, you have nothing to worry about. You have me to guide you. You have the whole floor to help you out. And once the boss returns, you can ask him any kind of question that you have," he answered with a smile.

I nodded but I still wasn't comforted by what he said. Especially when he said that I had the whole floor to assist me. I wasn't sure if he didn't notice. But almost every employee outside shot a death glare at me. I wouldn't be surprised if they would watch me as I sunk into a deep hole that they would cause.

He then pulled a drawer open and revealed a wide, flat box. He settled it on the table and said, "Here's a little something for you. Kindly look into it and tell me what you think."

I did just what he said. And as I lifted the top part, I couldn't believe what I saw.

Inside the box was a brand new laptop, a brand new tablet and a box of headphones. I looked at him, questioning as to what I saw.

"The boss personally suggested that you use these for your job. He said it will be beneficial if you accompany him on business trips," he explained. He continued, "The headphones are for calls. I already incorporated a software into your laptop where you can receive and make calls. Please, make sure that your calls are exclusive for work purposes."

I nodded as I closed the box. I then asked, "Are you sure that this is for me? I didn't expect this to happen next. I'm still at the part where I'm questioning if everything right now is real."

"I assure you, Miss Ryuk, everything was planned meticulously for you," he replied. "We take pride in taking care of our employees, especially those who do heavier workloads. This is our boss' way of compensating for the abrupt start of your career, as well as the incoming heavy workload."

"Thank you very much for understanding. I have your name and number written down. I'll call you once everything is settled on our end. Thank you and have a great day," I replied. After the client bid his goodbye, I took out my headphones and incorporated everything in my file.

Seconds later, Mr. Kim stepped out from the main office and said, "I'll be away for a while, everyone. Make sure to finish half of your tasks before lunch break. If you need anything or have questions, Miss Ryuk is here."

"Yes, sir," they all answered in unison.

Mr. Kim turned to me and continued, "Miss Ryuk, the floor is under your care."

I stood and bowed with a smile. But on the inside, I was terrified. I was still a new arrival and immediately, I was put under such pressure to look after one whole floor. I sat back down as Mr. Kim walked away. I gathered all my strength, composed myself and went back to work.

My eyes were fixed on my computer screen when a group of ladies walked up to me. One of them asked, "So, you're the new secretary, right?"
