My Innocent Girl novel Chapter 3

As I was about to press the send button, I heard the door open. "Times up"

I still wanted to send, so I put my hand on the mouse. "I mean everything I say, Ashley"

I stopped. I don't wanna make him mad on my first day. Oh, it is not even my first day, it is just some kind of test.

He came to me and looked at the computer screen.

"You think it'd work?" he questioned; his eyes still fixed on the screen.

"Um... Sir... how can I convince him when I don't know his weaknesses and strengths? I need to have knowledge of his interests and about his personality to catch his attention in this contract. I should have read his file first to at least know the basics of his contract" I looked down and spoke. I don't expect him to understand, you know, because I have heard that the boss' of large companies don't really understand their employees.

"Oh," he looked at me. "Then why didn't you say that?"

"Y-You are my boss, sir. Who am I to point anything in what you say?" I said, keeping the very important thing in my mind: that VIP people like him like to be in charge and like to boss around.

"Sure, I am the boss" he spoke. "But you are my PA. You should tell me if you have any problem. If you don't then how is this gonna work? Just me ordering you around with you doing anything just because of some money?"

I looked at him. Is he really this understanding?

Like... this good?

"Ah... you are right, sir"

"By the way," he said. "Send the email, it is fine now"

I looked at the email confused. He has edited it in this time!? Gosh, his English is so professional that if I was that Mr. Houston, I would have felt so proud to be even contacted by someone this professional.

I sent it and as I was about to shut it, I saw the background.

"Ashley, your email was good enough. Don't get demotivated and come to my cabin again. The first room, second floor"

I closed the computer thinking how'd he do that?

Gmail was opened the entire time and how'd he write that and keep it as the background?

Anyway, I left the room and went to his cabin. He still told me his new cabin, even when I asked the receptionist.

I knocked and entered.

"Congratulations on your first task, Ashley" he stood up from his seat. "Can I call you Ash?"

"Y-Yes," I said as a little blush crept to my cheeks. No one has called me Ash for quite a time, and I love that name.

"You sure?"

"Yes," I smiled.

"So, Ash" he stood against his table. "Ready for the next task?"

"Yes sir"

"Take a look at those files" he pointed towards a bundle. "Under every respective work, you have to find your name, so that you can get a fresh list of your tasks. Every work is teamwork here, and you are quite not a part of that of course, but there are certain tasks you need to do. For that, every page has a new task, and below are the names written. So, find the tasks which have your name"

I nodded. I have never met any boss who explains everything so nicely.

"I thought I told you that you can call me if you have any doubt" I heard his voice and I turned around.

"Actually, sir-"

"Let's talk in my cabin"

"Yes sir" I nodded and followed him to his cabin.

"Now tell me" he entered the cabin.

"Actually" I picked up the final paper from his table. "I just wanted to tell you that my work is done"

"What?" he took the paper from my hands. "How?"

"Um... I used your PC"

"Yeah, but how'd you do it this fast?"

"I just... um... programmed a little in your PC's software"

He looked at me and there was a simple glow in his eyes which showed that he was quite shocked. "You should have added that to your resume"

"Ah... I just had a little interest in it while I was little. I didn't do anything legally like studies or something, so" I smiled.

"That's good. You know what Ash?"
