Chapter 2

I blinked twice as I meet the Bank's owner's eyes. It stopped me from moving for a while.

A man wearing a black suit with a white t-shirt inside faced me. My brows furrowed as I watched him scanned me. He looks simple yet expensive. There is something on his eyes but I can't describe it.

I stared at him. He looks familiar and it seems like I've already seen him before. It touches something in my mind and convincing me that I really met him but I can't remember when.

I slowly walked towards his table and I chose to looked away. 

I swallowed hard when I can finally see him closely.

I watched him stared at me. He didn't speak yet and it feels like he is trying to burn me using his stares.

His thick brows raised when I decided to sit to the chair in front of his table.

He licked his lips before he decided talking.

My heart is beating so fast because of how scary he looks.

"Are you going to be my secretary?" 

My brows furrowed.

"Uh, I am here to apply as a secretary, Sir." I answered.

He raised his brows again about what I said and I can't help but to stuck staring at him. He looks like a God leaning on his swivel chair while looking at me.

I mean he looks so intimidating yet..uhm hot, I can't deny it.

But, I mean, no. I don't like intimidating and arrogant men.

His nose is perfectly pointed that really matches his pouty but pinkish lips. His jaw line defined everytime he is clenching it. 

All I can say is he is breathtakingly beautiful. Of course he is rich, that kind of faces is rare, that is for sure out of reach of a simple women like me. I mean I don't like his aura and I also don't like him, but I can't still deny that he is attractive.

I am expecting an old and grumpy boss, I'd prefer that.

"Apply? Such a waste of time. Just start working, you will get paid, anyway." He uttered that made my eyes widened.

"Really, Sir?" I ask in amusement.

"Call me Mr. Woods." He said and I immediately nodded like an idiot.

I didn't expect this. I am expecting him to ask me a lot of things and insult me or something just like what rich people always do in some movies.

"Ah Mr. Woods when I am going to start working? Do you want to check my resume first?" I ask smiling to him.

He furrowed his brows as he stared at me.

"What's your name?" He ask.

"Uh my name is Kellah, Sir. Kellah Fazandra Zoela." I answered as I gave him my sweetest smile for this day.

"Your name is hard to say, I mean it is kind of- I don't know, ugly?." He uttered as he throw the folder in the table that immediately made my brows furrowed.

What did he said again? 

"Excuse me?" I ask in disbelief.

"I mean, my name is one of the nicest name in the world." I murmured but I only saw him rolled his eyes.

"I don't care. You should start working already. I don't have time to read your resume, just work." He said again as he also slowly stood up from his chair.

He looks so tall as I lifted my gaze to him. He is like a tower compared to my height. 

I also stood up, it would be rude if I will remain sitting here. 

He walked towards the big cabinets behind his table. He reached for a big box inside. 

He smirked when he saw me watching him bring the box.

"I heard that Leah sent you here. I trusted her so,,okay." He uttered while lifting the box. "Inside this box is some important files. These are important so you should take care of this. Encode all of this and don't be a useless employee." 

I watch him put the box in the floor. I immediately opened it and my eyes widened in disbelief. It was so plenty.

I tried lifting it and it was so heavy, I can't believe he carried it easily here.

I also don't like how he talk. He is so rude and disrespectful. Aside from that he is also arrogant and intimidating. But of course there is no way for me to voice it out.

"Of course, Mr. Woods. I will. I won't be useless and going to follow you. I won't be rude to you too." I uttered while trying to lower my voice in the last sentence I said.

"I want people who will always follow my rules. I want you to be also attentive about my schedules. Bea will give you the details of your work. She is outside, you can ask her freely." He explained lazily like talking to someone like me is a waste of time for him.

Such a full of his self.

"Yes Sir. I understand." I answered as I also carried the box outside the office.

"By the way, you should go back here after asking Bea and after you encode all the files." 

My eyes widened.

"Sir, I don't think I can finish encoding all of this in just one day." 

I tried to be patient asking him. It was my first day and I can't believe I am already annoyed in my boss.

"Then you should! What's the use of paying you?" He answered and I wanted to close my eyes tightly because I am really losing my shit because of him.

I faced and stared at him again even if I am supposed to go out already from his office.

"Hmm, I will encode the files that I can encode just for this day, Sir. I will do my best." I answered before turning my back from him.

I know I should be patient because I am just an employee here, but I can't keep my bitch self if he won't keep that attitude of him.

A woman greeted me when I came out from the office. 

"Ma'am, can I ask if who is Bea? Mr. Woods told me that I should talk to Miss Bea." I ask the woman who is also the one who guided me here earlier.

"I am Miss Bea, ma'am. What can I help you?" She ask so I immediately give her a smile.

"Mr. Woods told me that I can ask you about my job being his secretary." I answered but her eyes widened about what I said.

"Really? You are the new secretary?" She ask while her mouth formed into an 'o'

"W-why?" I ask confusely.

"I didn't know they hired a new secretary again." She uttered, also confused. " But anyways, I will tell you all the things you should do." She added as she also keep on staring at me.

"Well you should just keep on following what Mr. Woods going to tell you. The only thing you should check everyday is his schedule and appointments." She explained but still keeps on staring at me.

What's wrong? She is making me uncomfortable.

"And by the way, just a piece of advice, I am not sure if you can handle this job without quiting at end of the day. Just protect your mental health. Mr. Woods is good on badmouthing his employees." She said with an straight face like she also have hatred towards the man. 

I nodded even if I also already notice it from their boss, I mean our boss.

"By the way, where can I encode this one?" I ask as she also glance at box when I pointed it.

She guided me and taught me where the table of the secretary is. She said all the secretaries before just staying here whenever encoding or working on something because even if Mr. Woods looks so dashing in one look, everyone is scared at him.

I ignored what she said and just continued encoding the files.

It was so plenty and I don't think I can really finish this on this day.

Bea also give me all the schedules of Mr. Woods. She said I need to always check it in the computer. I need to check all the emails of Mr. Woods so that I can check the meetings and appointments and record it.

I need to remember all what she said.

I really didn't expected to have a job immediately.

I thought it will going to take days before I can finally find for a job.

I continued encoding and encoding but gladly I finished a lot of it already even it was still lunch time.

It was already twelve when the telephone rings in the table. I immediately picked it up when I saw the label that it was a telephone always connected from Mr. Woods's office.

"Hello," I answered.

"Just tell the food services that I won't having lunch outside. Just deliver lunch in my office. Remind them, just the usual." He answered before dropping the call.

His voice is cold as an ice cream but it was not sweet. Iww. He is such a grumpy.

When I saw Bea I immediately ask her.

"Mr. Woods said he will not having lunch outside and just deliver foods in his office, where can we order foods?" I ask.

"Ah that. Just call the food services of the building." She answered.

Wow, they have that?

"You can just click the number in the telephone in the right side." She explained so I immediately nodded as I also go back in the table.

"If he won't having lunch outside just ask the food services in the building." She remind me again before leaving me.

I think Miss. Bea is already on her thirties but still looks active and energetic. Thirty isn't that old actually.

I go back in the table and call for food services in the building just like what Miss Bea said.

"Can you deliver foods in Mr. Woods office. He won't be having lunch outside. Just the usual, he said." I explained as I also received a yes from the call.

After few minutes a food delivery came passing in my table towards Mr. Woods office. Well, how organized they are.

Miss. Bea invited me for lunch. She said she will also going to introduce me to all the other workers of the company.

"You know what, you are the 40th secretary of Mr. Woods ever since he replaced his father from handling the company." 

"Why? Is there something wrong about the salary?" I ask Bea when she shared to me about things in the company.

"Well, it is because Mr. Woods attitude. He doesn't give any consideration for the people around him. He doesn't give any sympathy and pity for all." She explained and I can't help but to worry if I can do it here.

"But don't worry as long as you ignored his attitude and keep on following him there will be no problem." She added.

Just like what Miss Bea said we eat together with the other employees. She also introduce me to them.

She introduced me to the older and to all the younger Tellers of the bank.

"I didn't expect that you will going to be the new secretary of Mr. Woods, Miss Kellah. I thought you were a model or a business woman earlier when I saw you." Said Andrea, the woman who told me to go to manager's office earlier.

I smiled shyly to her because of what she said.

"Nah, that is too much, I looked tall but a model is much prettier than me." I answered shyly.

"Andrea is right, Miss Kellah. You look pretty and beautiful we didn't thought that you will work in the company." Anton said, one of the Bank's teller.

I smiled to him sweetly. I am glad that all of them is kind and approachable.

I can't believe they are all working to a grumpy boss like Mr. Woods.

We continued eating and I can't help but to feel overwhelmed of how they treat me.

They are so fun to be with.

After the lunch I decided to go back in encoding as the other workers also go back in their own works.

Gladly I am used of encoding because I also used to encode thesis and researches in college. At least it will be easy for me to do it.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the phone rings again.

"Come to my office, now." Mr. Woods commanded and I can't help but to find him so bossy, of course he is the boss. Whatever.

I followed what he said and proceed to his office.

I am still amazed about that moving cabinet as Mr. Woods office's entrance.

It was so creative and amazing.

Just like what I've seen earlier the big and grand office of the man greeted me.

How can he maintain this clean and pleasant. His scent is also blending in the office's aircon that made it more addicting coming here but it is just him who is not pleasant on this place.

"Did you finish encoding?" He ask but I immediately shake my head.

"I finished a lot of it already but I don't think I can finish it just this day." I answered.

"Is that how you showed me your skills as a new secretary?" He ask but I did not answer him.

"What do you mean Sir? That was so plenty. In fact you should be happy if I will finish a lot of it. I mean I still have few hours, I can still finish some." I answered trying to be formal and patient to him.

"It is your first day here and you are already giving me this impression." He ask me and it seems like he is already annoyed because of me.

"Don't you know that I want to see perfect things, huh?" He ask while raising his brows. I can't help but to let a heavy sigh.

I bite my lip, I am trying to stop myself from talking back.

For me even if you are a boss or something you still need to give nice impression to all the people you encounter. Even if you have money, you can't but people's respect.

"Well I am sorry Sir. I can't promise you that I can finish that just this day but the only thing I can promise is I will do my best." I explained but he didn't answer me.

"Just don't be mad and grumpy Sir. Look, you are so damn handsome and you are not smiling, it is still useless." I added while rolling my eyes.

His eyes widened as his brows furrowed about what I said. But before he could utter any words I already turned my back from him.

He should smile a little.
