6 Episode 6

Olivia

What sort of dream am I dreaming in broad daylight ..now I've to pay more money.

I'm screwed.

" Please take me there," I said painfully...

I held tightly to the money before paying the driver as I wasn't sure of paying such an amount.

Oh my goodness

This is bigger than what I thought...I look dazzling to the top as sunlight rays scorched through.

" Do you have an appointment here?" I heard a husky voice and turned to see.

" I'm here for Mr. Ryan" I replied politely and he led me in.

" 12th floor," He said to me in front of the elevator and I bowed my obeisances.

12th floor

Some people were staring at me not in disgust though but like I didn't seem familiar.

I pressed the button that headed towards the 12th floor.

" Go in," The lady signing a document on the table said to me and I knock before entering.

Though I didn't get an answer.

"Good morning" I greeted shyly as I wobbled to his place.

His office was exquisite and nice, beautiful scent and welly decorated.

" Have your seat" He ordered and I did, tucking a strand of my stubborn hair to the other side.

He stretched out his hand and since it was for a handshake, I brought out my hand but he snapped off immediately.

" Your files" He scoffed and I felt like the ground should swallow me.

I'm embarrassed right now but in order not to get him angry, I dip into my bag and gave him the file.

" Your name ?"

" Olivia Hathaway "

" Age ?" Why is he asking a question that is on the file already?

" Twenty three" I mumbled.

" What ?" He questioned like I was lying. " How did you attain this degree?" He asks casually as he scrawled through the paper.

"Went to the school of course, just that I had an early education" I bluff.

He kept silent for almost 15 minutes leaving me in an awkward and tense state.

" Your degrees are worth what I needed ?" He praised and I smiled.

" Work as My Assistance…I mean you'll be on top of everything for me" He explained and I was too excited as I dwell in happiness.

I held his hand and jumped up happily

" Relax," He said and I breathed heavily before seating down.

" Your work begins now as you know, I deal in marketing and that's what you're specialized in"

" Sign this document and see if the pay is good for you" He gave me the paper.

What!

Enough for me??

This can pay my three months rent but it's at the end of the month though.

"Thanks so much for this opportunity, I'll serve you with my Everything" I felt remorseful at that statement but he just winks at me.

After a while. a lady In her mid-thirties entered.

" Follow her" He ordered and I bow before heading out.

She opened a glass door and I followed her, I think it's my office.

I have my own office

" Here's the schedule for this week... I'll be giving you every weekend" She said.

" Thanks"

" You're welcome" She beamed a brilliant smile and scurried out.

I traced my fingers on the table and my stomach was rumbling with happiness.

There's a laptop... A toilet!

A water dispenser.

A couch and everything a perfect office would have.

I signed the contract and place it on the table before reading his schedule and the rules attached.

1. I'll be picking him up at exactly 7:30 .. which means I'll be going to his house every day.

2. you're to prepare him his special Americano from the coffee shop in front of the company..as soon as you get to the office.

3. You'll be with him in any official meeting...

4.he might also choose to be taken home by you!

5. be at his keen service...

I read out loud and I smiled hysterically then stopped when I noticed someone staring at me…

He was looking at me through the blinds …I didn't know the blinds here were opened...

I quickly stood up and pick the contract along with his schedule him.

He collected the contract and signed it before giving me back the duplicate.

" What's on my schedule ?" He asks and I traced to the list.

" Just lunch with Henry" I replied in a shaky voice.

" Cancel it" He ordered sternly.

" What ?" I ask pausingly

" Cancel it," He said this time almost yelling as I bow and dash out of his office.

He can be so confusing?

I was to indulge in snapping pictures up and down when I heard a knock on the door.

" Come in" I giggled at how bossy I sounded.

" Good morning Miss…"

" Olivia " I helped her.

" I've brought the summary for the upcoming product" She stated and place the file on my table.

" Department ?" I ask when I already knew she was from the strategy department.

" Strategy department," She said plainly and I told her to leave for now.

I scrolled through the file with a very serious face and what I read was pleasant but dull.

The strategic plan would cause problems for the marketing to depart because it lacks things.

I don't know how to meet up with them because I'm new and yet to be introduced.

I walked into his office and show him what I have with me.

" Check this out" I gave him the file since he was busy working on some before.

" This wasn't what I saw before!" He groans angrily.

" But how do you understand this when you're seeing it for the first time..?" He asks curiously.

" I helped my friend on something like this in the past" I explained and in nod continuously.

"Can I put you in charge?" He asks and I beamed happily.

" I'll gladly do it " I exclaimed and he hands over the file back to me.

Build it, Olivia!

I was walking boldly through the hallways of the Strategy Department...

" I walked into the meeting room and all gaze shot towards my direction and like seriously I felt nervous.

" Go..od..Mo." I stutter for a while, their stares were scary like I've aroused some kind of difficulty for them

You're you.

" Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I'm Olivia Hathway., Mr. Ryan's assistant, and also have been assigned to involve with you all on this," I said bluntly and bow slightly as some clapped while some behave grumpily.

We talked for hours as there were many people not willing to accept the fact that what they submitted would be a failure.

" Seems there a few people In agreement with me …I suggest you should try doing this on your own .. like maybe design the product and sell it to see if it'll work"

" Please help with the new design" I pleaded with the web designer.. and she smiled in response.

I just wanted to make my first task work out.

" We've all agreed with your suggestion but if it has issues you'll be held responsible for anything."

" If anyone doesn't tamper with it " I snarled bluntly leaving everyone's mouth to widen.

If not because I didn't get a job .. I'll be a top marketer and they won't behave this way.

Well, I'll prove it.

****

3 hours later

****

I yawn loudly after having a short sleep

"It's 6:30 already!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my mouth, I didn't have the chance to eat lunch and I'm crazily hungry right now.

He left work in the afternoon saying he has a personal appointment... Saiba.

I picked my bag and scuttled out of the office walking tiredly downstairs.

" Olivia" I heard someone called my name and turned to see someone I've always been wishing to see all this while
