I Just Met Her 1
He looked over to see as the workers from different department trembled in fear, he looked back at the papers, locking his fingers together beneath his chin.
"What time are you all expecting your salaries?" He enquired with a serious gaze.
They all shivered, sweat running down their backs even if the room was so cold. Why on earth would he ask about that? And how will they answer?
"2-26 of this month sir." the bravest one answered, well not really brave, but that's how they all saw him actually anyone who answered back to their scaring boss is seen as the bravest.
"Hmm I see, so have you ever missed your salary before?" He ask the so called brave man with a cold voice.
His forehead bead with sweat, regretting how his life came to this "No sir." he swallowed his tongue after the reply, waiting for his execution.
"Okay then you're all dismissed." he drawled, taking his phone to mark today's calendar. He called his assistant
"David." waiting for seconds.
"Yes Boss." he stood at the end of the long table.
"I want you to take this papers and burn them" he ordered.
His assistant felt like he heard wrongly.
"You said what sir?" He wanted to confirm what his boss had said.
"I said take the files and light them up." he exclaimed.
"But sir they're reports." he spoke to himself.
"Ohh...how come I didn't notice that?" He pretended to be surprise.
"How stupid of me right?" He rise a brow. "isn't that what you meant with that stupid question of yours?" He looked the eyes of his assistant in fury.
"No sir.... I... I wouldn't dare." 'you can't possibly do this to me.' the assistant almost cried innerly.
"Just take the God damn files david, don't make me repeat myself." he warned.
"Yes sir I'll do that right away." he rushed out.
Ten minutes later his assistant came back.
"Sir I've done just that." he relay.
"So? Do you expect a thank you?" He raised his brow.
"Of course not...." Began, but was interrupted.
"David take the names of the people in every department and get back to me." he ordered.
David twist his lips in annoyance "hmmph so bossy, you can't even say it politely." he kept murmuring, thinking he was saying it inwardly.
"Make sure your name is also on that list." Leonardo queried.
"Huh? What list?" David said in confusion.
"The list of who will not receive their salary this month." he spoke, typing his laptop.
David wanted to ask further but soon realized he said his thoughts aloud.
Cursing himself silently he stomped his feet on his way out in annoyance.
Working for an extra hour it was finally 8pm. He went back home tired, not wanting anymore stress, he walked towards his room door.
"Mmm sir Leon." his maid called him.
He reluctantly turned to her "yes rose?" He hoped she make it fast.
"Sir welcome back. I just wanted to remind you about the discussion we had concerning my niece." she spoke in haste knowing from the look that he was either going to listen or dismiss her.
"Yes?" He waited for her.
"She's here sir, so with your permission can I call her over?"
"Hmmm do that." he said plainly. She went to the kitchen and came back with a blonde.
The girl with blonde hair gazed up at him with a jaw almost touching her neck.
"Sir this is my niece Elena Morgan." she turned to her niece "this is my Boss." Elena creased her face. isn't she going to mention his name or was that it.
"Nice to meet you ummm... Boss?" She said intentionally to inform her aunt that she hasn't still gotten his name.
"I'm sure rose has informed you about the job and pay." he said tiredly not even noticing the beauty in front of him "believe that's all. You can start tomorrow." He finished and proceed the way to his room.
