Everybody in the office is running halter skelter, the new C.E.O is on his way, luckily I have met my sale quota for the month.

"I heard he is strict" Nnedi said as she files her documents in an orderly fashion.

"Where did you hear it from" Timi asked, she has never been the type that put interest in gossip.

"A friend from Owerri branch, he said that he even fired some of the workers" she replied shaking her head.

"I guess we all have to find out today".

It scared me what I heard about him, I hope they're all exaggerated because I don't want anymore hassle in my life. I need this job for the sake of my family, jobs like this are not easy to find especially for a girl with no background like me.

      I was in a hurry this morning so I didn't talk or chat with him, right now I need him to calm my nerves. I brought out my phone from my bag to call him. We now have regular phone calls and am enjoying it. I can remember how much he laughed when I suggested he is an Angel.

"Are you my guardian Angel?" I asked and braced myself to hear his reply.

"Angel?" he asked and went frenzy with laughter and I felt ashamed.

"Missy, I maybe handsome, considered heavenly perhaps seen as an Angel by some people but I assure you, I am no Angel"

I hissed as he managed to praise himself even in this situation.

"I guess a devil like you can't be an Angel"

"Let's forget the fact that your imagination is out of this world, what made you think God would send a guardian Angel for you. What did you do to deserve such honour".

"Well I have never stolen a pin or make someone feel bad. So, I guess He decided to send an Angel to help me cope in this difficult situation" I said the last sentence with low tone.

"Flower, we offend people by just being alive so don't think you have never made anybody feel bad". Funny how what he said is an absolute truth making me wonder what he has seen in live.

"Well I can be your personal guardian, just don't call me angel, angel seems so sissy" I laughed at his statement, well girls are mainly the ones called Angel.

"My Angel" I said just to annoy him, its good to find something that annoys him.

"Stop that"

"Angel". We kept going on and on. He has no idea how happy I am that he is not an angel, that means he won't disappear after making me happy, I will be empty if he disappears. I really have weird imagination.

I smiled after remembering what happened that day word to word, I always have clear remembrance of everything that happens between us. It:s as if I want to cherish every moment and replay it in my mind every single time. If the annoying human being is not strongly insisting on hiding his identity I would've suggested to meet up and spend some time together. If I dare do that he won't let me live it down.

"Come he is here" Nnedi said and I intensed up, I dropped my phone since no time to make the call, I took everything I need and followed after Nnedi. We are the first to do our presentation that also means we will be the first to be punished.

We stopped and took a deep breath before knocking at his door, I can sense how tense Nnedi is thank God for Timi that still remains calm giving us a sense of comfort.

"Come in" we heard Mr Akin voice, I guess the C.E.O is not much of a talker as Mr. Akin is doing the talk. We stepped in as stood in horizontal order, I was standing first that means I be the one to make the first presentation. I gulped down.

"What is holding you" The C.E.O said with his back at us, his voice is cold deviod of any emotions, he really means business.

I cleared my truth and stepped forward, here goes nothing. I did all my presentation neatly though I couldn't see his reaction since his back was facing me and he didn't utter a word, he will occasionally take a sip of the brandy he is with, but judging from Mr Akin smile I guess I did good.

I stepped aside leaving the floor for Nnedi, about 30 minutes later we were all done and Mr Akin told us to leave the documents before leaving and we all did but stopped half way to the door when we heard his voice.

"How did people react to the new product" he asked and we turned to answer but was left speechless as he is now facing us. He is nothing short from handsome, he rendered us immobile like he had a spell on us, he is handsome but what got me is the fact that he is the C.E.O. I don't know how to explain it, it's as if he has the final say and as such I have to do everything to get his favour.

"They reacted well" I said confidently and am sure it must have shocked my friends.

"From your presentation you're the one with the most sales so I will take your word for it" he said still devoid of every emotion. We bowed and left the office.

"Now I can breath" Nnedi said after we are now in our own office.

"He seem to rule his world" Timi said and its visible that the new C.E.O left his mark on her which is very rare. Timi is a sort of girl that is hardly impressed, so am surprised.

"Well he is the C.E.O, he has to be serious in business and to earn our respect" I said and then picked my phone to call my Mysterio. Since my friends won't shut up about the new C.E.O I decided to leave the office to make the call. I was going to the varenda to make the call when I bumped into someone because I was looking at my phone.

"Sorry" I said as I raised my head 

"Be more careful next time" I heard the C.E.O voice. I just bumped into him, I bowed down and said sorry like 3 straight times. He was already walking away by the time I raised my head, I turned to look at his back walking away. He is tall dark and handsome, his girlfriend is so lucky having such a rich handsome guy, he put his phone on his ear.

"Hello" he said I rarely heard what he said after since he is far gone, I took a deep breath and returned my attention to my phone.

"What he already picked up" I muttered as I never knew I have dialed the number the moment I bumped into the boss.

"Hello Angel" I said as I brought the phone to my ear.

"For the last time am not Angel" he hissed and just like that he released all my tensions, all bank on him to brighten my day.
