Chapter 6: the offer

“Okay you can have your job back with an estimated salary pay of four thousand dollars, instead of the three thousand earlier agreed and the offer of promotion still stands if you do well,” he said

Immediately I heard that my legs stocked to the ground, I could neither move forward nor backwards my legs were like glued to the ground, all I could do was stand and gulp and my mouth was so wide open then all of sudden I could feel myself smiling. I was dumbfounded and couldn't do a thing, then I heard his voice again.

“Say something why are you being quiet, just anything rather than being silent,” he added.

Then slowly I turned toward him with my head down, because I wouldn't want him to notice the smile on my face and thinks maybe I am just after the money.

“Sir did you mean I could have my job back, and with an increased salary of four thousand dollars instead of the three thousand earlier agreed”? I asked.

“Yes you heard me right, so tell me are you still interested in the job”? He asked.

It will be stupid of me and I will be a very big full to reject such an offer of four thousand dollars just for being a secretary and I have never heard of such an amount of money in a while.

He stood by and watch me act my little drama, then looked so furious.

“You know I didn't like it when I am being ignored when talking to someone, and I have been here, talking to you but no response from you, all you could do was to smile and laugh with your head down you couldn't even look at me,” he said.

“No no, it's not like that sir, I am not ignoring you, I am,” I said as he cuts me short.

“You know what? I guess you don't need the job any longer, sorry my bad I know I shouldn't have asked, but since you don't need the job it's fine,” he said as he walks back to his car.

Damn, damn Cynthia what have you done, why can't you just be courageous and say your mind and what you feel, now you have messed this up for yourself, you are such a stupid girl, hitting my head so hard, then I rushed to block him from getting into his car.

“Yes, yes, yes sir,” I said.

“Yes, what”? He asked.

“Yes, sir I need the job if I didn't need the job I wouldn't have come for the interview,” I said

Then I could notice a smile coming out from his cute smile, I was lost seeing him smile so cute, felt like giving him a sweet kiss, but all I was able to do was to give him a very tight hug and I had this cold shivers down my spine as he wraps his warm arms around me, then comfortable I was and felt in his arms and then rested my head on his shoulders as if I am laying on my bed, I couldn't let go as I hug him tighter feeling his body close to mine.

Hmhm, as he clears his throat.

“Ehm don't get too comfortable,” he said.

“Sorry, sorry sir,” I said as I let go and distance myself a little far away from him.

“So see you tomorrow at work, make you come early this time,” he said.

“Thank you, sir, yes definitely I will make sure to be at the office as early as possible, and this time I will be competent enough to earn your confidence and trust in me,” I said.

Leaving a smile on his face.

“We will have to see about that,” he said.

We have almost forgotten that we were in the rain and then this rumbling thunder sound that left us in shock, he takes a little step forward then stopped and turned slowly, with his gaze glaring at me.

“Are you sure want to do this”? He asked

“Do what sir”? I asked.

“I have a lot of space at my place, you can make yourself comfortable pending on when you get a place of your own,” he said.

With a sweet gentle voice, he spoke that left me in Delima and confuse not knowing what to say or do, but truth be told I don't think I have any option, I don't have enough money to pay for a room at the motel, and neither can I go back to that stupid and nothing of a person called Sam cause it's truly obvious that he has been cheating on me.

“You know not like you have much an option you know, you can't go back to your place cause you have just thrown out and you don't have enough to pay for a too at the motel,” he said

I look up and down no place and no option left, but I just reminded myself is he this soft-spoken or he's just pretending or playing a trick on me, I gulped and majestivally walks to car.

“Then let's go to your place so you will pick up some of your valuables from there,” he said.

As we both drove off to my place, the rain has stopped but only drisling then we walked in there my landlady is with her big eye bulb as if they were about to shootout from her eye socket and surprised she was her mouth were wide open and silver almost dropped from her mouth but then she used her hand to stop it from reaching the ground wiping it off from her jaw.

“Miss Anderson, you have gotten a new catch just within a twinkle of an eye, I can see you have yielded to my advice, and decided to do as I said, this is nice, but I never thought you could be this fast in learning, so when should I be expecting my money for the rent owed”? She asked.

But without a word, I just picked my clothes and other valuables and left, she was very shock and surprised.

“Hey I don’t mean to intrude into your personal life, but what does she mean by”? He asked as I cut him short.

“It’s nothing actually, so you shouldn’t pay attention to whatever she said back there cause it nothing,” I said.

“I get you but I guess she was referring to me as your new catch, and that’s something I find not appealing to me and did you just refer to me as hey, need I remind you that I am your boss,” he said.

“I am sorry sir, it won't happen again, my mistake, am sorry,” I said.

“Better and I hope it won't happen again,” he said.

I node my head as a sign of saying yes, and we went into the car and drove off to his place, on getting to his place I was left in shock and amazed at what I saw, his mansion, luxury cars, the distance from the gate to the parking lot is about five to ten minutes drive, then imagine walking that by foot how many minutes it will take.

When I thought I have seen it all and then we took a walk inside the sitting is welcoming, then we took a tour round the house, I was wondering within myself when did this guy started making money to have made much money to acquire such a mansion.

“Here is your room, and there is the restroom and everything you need is here, and by the left is the kitchen and everything you need is right there,” he said.

Among everything that he said, the only thing that I find fascinating is when he mentioned the kitchen, oh yes the kitchen because I love cooking in and I like showing off my cooking skills.

“Sorry sir, where did you say the kitchen was again”? I asked.

“By the left, come on let me show you,” he said.

As we walks to the kitchen, oh my everything there was all new as if he had never made use of the kitchen not even for once.

“Sir, sorry to ask but how long have you been living here and did you live here all alone by yourself”? I asked.

“Well I have been here roughly three to four years now, and I used to live with someone but eventually we were no longer compatible so, so,” he said while taking a mouth full of air and breathing in.

That's the first time I saw him skip and lose of words and I believed that it would have hurt him a lot, whatever it that made him skip.

“I believe you meant to say your girlfriend or fiance,” I said.

“Let's forget about that it's not something we could talk about today,” he said.

While walking to his room, “go get some rest you will be resuming work tomorrow and remember don't be late,” he said.

As we all went to our separate rooms and what happened the next morning he never expected it.
