An hour Ago in Alex's car
"Daniel did you get the information I told you about" Alex asked typing on his laptop Daniel looked at his heartless boss who wouldn't let him enjoy his night
"of course sir I did I stayed up all night digging up all the information I could get on Emma Jones" Daniel said
"Ok now spill it" Alex ordered
'can't he just show a little bit of appreciation ..' Daniel mused
"did you say something, Daniel " Alex asked
"uhm, sir... Emma Jones is a girl who lived with only her mother ever since her father disappeared, I couldn't find out what happened to her father sir but from the information I got, the absence of her father didn't hinder her education because her mother bore all the expenses" Daniel said
"find out more about her I want every single detail about her and I need information about her life ten years ago" Alex said
"ok sir," Daniel said
****************
The present
"Sir, as far as I remember, there is only one desk in your office, but I don't understand why you said there are two desks in your office," Daniel said
"I think you are very free these days why don't I add to your work," Alex said
"no, no sir I have a very tight schedule and I am not sure if I have the time to eat today" Daniel said
"so why don't you mind your business," Alex said
"OK sir," Daniel said
"order for a table to be brought into my office now" Alex said
"OK sir" Daniel replied

"why did you do that Emma?" Stacy asked with a worried look on her face
"What are friends for? We are friends, right? So we should help each other." Emma replied with a smile earning a tight hug from Stacy
"Um Stacy you are chocking me" Emma managed to say
"Thank you so much, my whole life I've never had a friend who cared about me I'm so sorry for being so cold to you, you are a good friend Emma I don't know what to say," Stacy said gratefully
"be careful while you are working in the CEO's office, I heard that he gets pissed at every little thing," Stacy said
"Don't worry I will, you should know that your friend is a strong lady?" Emma said
"Let's go into the company before the icy man meets us here again," Emma said
"yes let's go" Stacy replied
*******
Immediately Emma went into the company she went straight to the head of her department, Mr Bowei
"sir I have a confession" Emma said
"We are not in a church Emma, you can speak freely I am all ears" Henry assured
"um sir I kinda got into trouble with the CEO"
Mr Bowei frowned at her words and Emma looked even more guilty than she already was
Emma said and she narrated the whole story to him
"so you are saying that he told you to move into his office by ten o'clock today and become his assistant? " Henry asked
"yes sir" Emma replied
"Did he tell you how long you are gonna work as his assistant"
"he hasn't said anything about that sir" Emma said
"oh jeez, this is bad this is bad" Henry exclaimed
"Well, what has been done can't be undone, you just have to endure it till God knows when," Henry said
"Sir, you guys are freaking me out, is it that bad to work directly with the CEO?" Emma said with worry written all over her face
"Sorry Emma but I have to tell you the truth, the CEO is a tough nut to crack, it is very difficult to please him but everything will be alright if you don't piss him off" Henry explained
'Emma Jones, you can do this, what's the worst that could happen just find out what he likes and dislikes' Emma assured herself
"Well, since you would be working with the CEO now will you still be able to submit two designs and be my assistant at the same time?" Henry asked
"yes sir I can do it" Emma said
"OK since you are moving by then you still need to tour the new employees" Henry said
"OK sir, are they here yet" Emma asked
"yes they are at the reception let me just call the receptionist and tell her to send them in"Henry said
"OK sir" Emma replied
He dialled the receptionist's number
"yes Courtney send them in" Henry said over the phone
A few minutes later a lady who had dark brownish shoulder-length hair and wore a black leather jacket that header trousers and heels With a black purse came in
'Whoa so this is light Smith, she is so pretty, beauty must run in their family. How can three sisters be so beautiful' Emma thought
And seconds later Sage came in elegantly, looking around like a person who had never seen an office in their entire life
'wow if the manager's office is so spacious then I wonder how large the CEO's office will be' Sage thought looking around the room
"Welcome ladies I am Henry Bowie the head of the design department and I am supposed to be the one who guides you through your tour but I have a lot of work to do so my assistant will do the job" Henry said
"hi I am Emma Jones nice to meet you" Emma said stretching forth her hand to light for a handshake
Meanwhile, Sage who wasn't paying attention to anything apart from the room
'did I just hear Emma Jones? no, it must be a mistake that b*tch isn't here, she wasn't accepted' sage thought while all her attention was still on the interior design of the room
While the other lady was still looking around like a dog who Lost its way, light accepted the handshake "Hello I am Light Smith nice to meet you too" Light said
