Chapter 4

CHARLOTTE SMITH

"Fuck, make up your mind!

"You decide, brown skirt or black dress?

"Black dress.

Isa hung up the call after deciding for me what outfit I would wear today. It was six in the morning and I was still getting dressed.

I quickly put on my black dress, it was demure on top but short on the bottom, I put on some black high heels to match. I did my makeup and hair at the speed of light, grabbed my purse and cell phone then headed downstairs.

"Good morning. " I said as I saw Joshua sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee.

"Good morning, good luck on your first day. " having said that he walked out of the kitchen without looking back.

He is still angry at the way I behaved with him yesterday, he must understand that he came at a bad time.

I hurried out to my car, I needed to get to the company in less than ten minutes.

**

"Good morning.

I said as the elevator doors opened to reveal the large office where Miss Diana was already waiting for me.

"Good morning Smith, you are just in time," she said as her gaze was fixed on the wall clock.

"If it's that...

"Save your excuses, this will be brief and concise. " I closed my mouth to hear what he was saying. "You will be here at the same time every day, you will enter Mr. Wilson's office and on the right side you will see a small room with a desk, that will be your place. You will handle and sort out all of Mr. Wilson's likes and dislikes. Do not talk to him too much, and keep your distance, preferably two feet away, when knocking on the door you should do it with light touches. Mr. Wilson does not like noise, and according to dress, you may wear whatever you please except pants, any kind of jeans, and tennis shoes are not allowed. That's it, you may begin.

My mind was going at full speed trying to analyze everything that woman had told me, but my brain was still going to the part of On the right side you will see a small room with a desk, that will be your place.

I nodded quickly and fearfully moved towards the office, I opened it slowly and closed it in the same way, I visualized the door to the right and moved forward until I entered. There was a very nice desk and an armchair at the back, several office objects, and bookshelves. I liked it.

I began to arrange things as I pleased, I took off my heels for comfort since the floor is carpeted. I hope the boss doesn't mind.

Let's see what our sexy little boss has.

Heeding my inner voice I stepped out of my small office, the first thing I saw was a large window behind his desk, big by the way. There was a small set of furniture to one side and a minibar in front, at the other end was what I imagine to be a bathroom.

I was so focused that I hadn't noticed that someone had entered the office, his heavy breathing gave him away. Oh my God, if it's Mr. Wilson I don't want to turn around.

"Charlotte Smith?

I held my breath and spun around on my bare feet.

My gaze remained fixed on the green-eyed blond who had entered, this was not Mr. Wilson.

"Who are you? "I asked with a frown.

"I am Adonis Hills, Mr. Wilson's business partner, and best friend, you must be his assistant or am I mistaken?" sixteen.

"You are correct.

Wow, the beast has friends? And I thought he was antisocial too.

"Do you prefer a more professional approach? Or is it okay for me to treat her on a one-on-one basis?

"As you wish.

"Very well, how do I explain to you that if Grumpy comes in and sees you without shoes he'll go crazy and kick you out of the company?

My surprised face made him laugh, but he had a doubt.

"Grumpy?

"You're not allowed to call him that in your fucking life either, that's my nickname towards him.

I nodded walking to my little office in search of my heels.

"Never leave without saying Excuse me, he'll growl at you and get mad.

"Okay. " I said finishing putting on my heels.

"Never say Okay to him, it should be: Okay Sir, As you wish Sir, or Very well Sir.

"Should I always address him as Sir?

"Always.

"Okay... Adonis, may I call you that?

"Yes precious, I will be your confidant here, you will need it to believe me.

"Tell me something Adonis, why do you call him Grumpy?

He laughed a little before answering

"Because most of the time he spends most of his time growling.

I'm laughing out loud at the moment, I hadn't thought of that.

"Oh my god, you're a genius!

We both laughed at a high-pitched laugh, I liked Adonis great, he was funny, kind, and had a great sense of humor.

I advanced back to my little office to put my heels back on, I didn't want Mr. Wilson to get upset.

When we returned we both calmed down a bit, but looking him in the face made me burst out laughing again. We were two crazy people laughing in an office, I held my stomach because it was already hurting from laughing so much when a roar was heard throughout the Office.

"What's so funny?

Fuck, his voice made all my skin crawl, I had my back turned and couldn't see him, but Adonis was facing him.

"Oh nothing, excuse me I must withdraw.

Throwing me a wink he walked away, I mentally cursed that he left me alone with this man, my legs were shaking just listening to his breathing.

"Who are you? " his accusing and damn deep voice made me turn to see him, I slowly stood in front of him and cleared my throat.

"Good morning Sir, my name is Charlotte Smith and I will be your assistant.

I smiled as I saw his frown going over me with his eyes.

I stood still being analyzed, so I analyzed him a bit as well. He was much taller than me, stockier, his bearing was heavy and reckless. He had a briefcase with him, his arms were huge, and I could tell he lifted weights. His black hair was well-combed, and his sky-blue eyes made me nervous.

He was wearing a crisp navy blue suit, a real businessman.

"Stand back, go get me a black coffee, without sugar.

With that said, he walked forward ignoring me completely, what a rude man. I recorded Adonis' words.

Never leave without saying; Excuse me, he will growl at you and get angry.

I rolled my eyes.

"Excuse me. " I said without turning to see him and walked out of that office at a fast pace, closing the door carefully I closed my eyes and blew out all the pent-up air.

"How did you behave?" asked Adonis mockingly coming out of his office, apparently he was next door.

"Like an idiot.

I whispered walking away from everything, I wouldn't last long here.

Just get coffee for now, he needs the job.

And that I will do, I'll get the coffee and I'll have to put up with his humor, I need the money and I'm not a woman who gives up easily and worse to a man like him.
