First day of work :-
Jennifer's pov :
It's my first day of work, I just hope I don't see that jerk's face. Oh no! How can I forget, I am his secretary. Why, just why, why, God, why, do you hate me this much?? Ugh! Leave it. I have to focus on the challenge, otherwise he'll win, and then I'm doomed.
Here, I'm standing in front of this tall luxurious building, with Mia beside me. And this damned building belongs to none other than that jerk.
"Let's go, Jenn. We don't want to get scolded on our first day, do we?" Mia says, holding Jennifer's hand and dragging her inside.
After they both enter the building, they go to the receptionist.
"Hey there, we met again." Mia waved her hand at the receptionist.
The receptionist waves her hand back, smiling, and says, "Oh, you both came. I was waiting for you two, only."
"Why were you waiting for us?" Jennifer asks.
"Well, first of all, congratulations to both of you, and I was waiting for you both to give you your Identity cards."
"Oh, thank you so much." Jennifer and Mia said simultaneously.
They both take their IDs from the receptionist, and wear them.
"By the way, what's your name?" Mia asked the receptionist.
"It's Lina Rodrigo". The receptionist, Lina, replies.
"It's very nice to meet you, Lina. Hope we'll be nice friends." Jennifer says.
"Nice to meet you too, and I hope so too." Lina smiled.
"You both here?"
Three of them looked in the direction of the voice.
"Yes Dad, we just came and made a new friend." Jennifer says.
"Well, you both are like social butterflies, you both make friends wherever you go, so there is nothing surprising about that," Robert chuckles.
"By the way, Jenn and Mia! All the best for your first day. Do your work properly and try not to upset the boss. And take care." Robert says, and turned around to leave for his work.
Jennifer (in mind) :Boss! My foot.
Jennifer thinks and makes a disgusted face.
Hiding her disgusted face, Jennifer smiles and replies, "OK dad, you also take care."
"Thank you uncle!" Mia thanked Robert, for wishing both of them good luck.
Robert goes away to his department. Some time later, exactly at 9 o'clock, the sound of shoes could be heard in the building hall, and those shoes were of none other than Tan Williams, followed by Emma.
Knowing that their boss has arrived, all the employees bow their heads down in respect and say in unison, "Good morning, boss."
Jennifer looks around her and sees everyone bowing, so she also bows her head like everyone else.
Tan stops infront of Jennifer and says, "It feels so nice seeing you bowing infront of me."
Jennifer grits her teeth, trying to control herself from bursting her anger over her new boss, who seems too annoying to her.
"Good morning everyone!" Just as he greeted everyone, everyone looked at him with surprise, because this was the first time he had greeted them back after that day.
"Everyone! Attention please, today I want to introduce you all to my new secretary, Miss Jennifer Wilson." Tan says and claps.
Mia was feeling happy for her bestie whereas Jennifer was feeling just the opposite. She just gave a forced smile to everyone while side eyeing Tan.
(Bombastic side eye, criminal offens- oh! Sorry, I got carried away)
Everyone : Hello, Miss Jennifer and congratulations.
Everyone said simultaneously, some with a genuine smile, some with a forced smile, some were jealous, some were unbothered.
Jennifer (in mind) : Congratulations!? Really!! You must be kidding me. I don't even wanna work here. Especially, not as his secretary.
"Thanks !!" Jennifer says, forcing a smile.
"Damn, my cheeks are hurting from forcing smiles. I am feeling so fake." Jennifer thinks.
"I know you don't want to be here. But, you know what, I don't care." Tan whispers to Jennifer and gives a smug smile.
"Oh really! But, I don't remember asking for your opinion."
Listening to Jennifer's savage reply, Tan clenches his jaw and again whispers to Jennifer, "You'll regret this."
"Oh yeah, sure." Jennifer says and rolls her eyes.
"OK, so, you all can continue your work," Tan says and gives a tight-lipped smile and walks away saying, "follow me."
Emma starts following Tan, but Jennifer doesn't. Emma notices and signs the latter to follow. Jennifer huffs and follows them.
Tan enters his cabin, sits on his chair and asks Emma, "Ms. Emma, I hope you have explained to Ms. Jennifer her work."
"Yes Sir, I did."
"So, I think that's your cue to start your work, Ms. Jennifer. I wish you all the very best from the depth of my heart for your first day at work Ms. Jennifer." Tan states mockingly.
Jennifer squints her eyes and murmurs, "Your way of wishing me luck doesn't sound genuine but, OK, thanks."
"You said something, Ms. Jennifer? I didn't hear you, sorry." Though he heard her, he questions her with a sly smile.
"I said thank you, sir." Jennifer says, giving a tight-lipped smile.
"If you don't have anything to tell me, shall I take your leave, sir?" Jennifer asks Tan, with a 'let me take leave, or I'll kill you' face.
"Sure, you can. And please do tell me if you liked your first day at work." As soon as these words escape Tan's mouth, Jennifer barges out of his cabin. Seeing this, a chuckle escapes Tan's lips, causing Emma, who was standing there watching their silent word fight, to look at him in amusement.
"I never saw you laugh before, Tan." Emma says in a seductive voice, walking towards him, she keeps her hand on his shoulder, slowly sliding her fingers towards his top button. As she was about to unbutton his shirt, his hand reached out for hers, jerking it aside. He stands up, walking towards her intimidatingly. She smirks a little, quickly hiding it, she looks at him with an innocent face, speaks, "what are you doing Tan?" He stops at a distance from her, looking down at her.
"Don't you think you should keep your hands to yourself? I suggest it, to keep you and your hands safe. You don't want them gone, do you?" Tan says in an intimidating voice.
Emma opens her mouth to say something, but before she can, Tan's phone rings. He steps away from her, walking towards his table, he picks up his phone and says, "Yes, mom."
After a little break, he says, "what happened now?" And rubs his forehead frustrated.
Stay tuned to know what happens next.
