2. The Boss Talk

Happy Reading . . .


The floors of Dylan and Savannah’s work, which are only five different just that floor, making Savannah quickly arrive on the floor his workspace is. After the elevator door opened, Savannah stepped into his office which was right on next to his boss’s office.

By the time the woman was putting her bag on her work chair, she was already saw his boss standing at his desk. Savannah’s office which is bordered by an automatic door made of glass big and thick can make him see clearly whether his boss was in his room or not. And after seeing the boss who was now in his chair, made Savannah direct rushes to make coffee for his boss like things already she should do every morning.

Savannah’s office, which had a small bar in the corner indeed intended for the boss to be able to make coffee at every morning quickly or if his boss is in need a drink Savannah could make in a short time. After she finished making a cup of coffee, Savannah took a tablet from above his desk which contains the boss’s schedule today and immediately stepped into the work room beside him with a cup of coffee and a tablet in both hands. Through the automatic door, Savannah stepped over while greeting warmly the boss who was in the chair and stared at a document in his hand.

“Good morning, Sir McCarter. Your coffee as usual. No sugar and creamer,” Savannah greeted as she placed a cup of coffee on the table right in front of her before the boss, then she backed up a good distance standing right in front of his boss’s desk.

“You’ve come at the right time, Savannah. And the smell of your coffee always make me feel calm. Not only the scent the taste is no less delicious. You’re good at making coffee.”

“Thank you, Sir. I am very honored to know you apparently really likes my coffee.”

Jamie McCarter, the middle-aged owner and leader of McCarter & co. The boss where Savannah works has a warm personality. Making Savannah love her job even more. But reversed with that warmth, Jamie McCarter’s big name is not arbitrary. However, many parties always want to destroy his big name none of them worked because actually he had many a cunning way that will actually destroy those who want to act otherwise according to his will. Behind that warm nature, there is nothing never suspected if Jamie McCarter was actually a reliable threat.

“So, how are all the preparations going?” asked Jamie while enjoy coffee in the morning.

“A simple welcome, as you wish, Sir. A glass of Champagne for corporate bigwigs would only welcome coming in two days.”

Yes, there will be a change in ownership and leadership of McCarter & co., in the next few days. So, that’s what Savannah has to do broke her date with Dylan because of her busy job seemed to be increased tenfold than usual. Because other than is what you have to prepare for a simple welcoming event for the new leader as the boss wanted, Savannah should change the entire job description to addressed to the leader and his new boss later.

“Add a few representatives from each Department to be in in the reception. I want everything that’s on the inside this company knows who their new leader is.”

“Yes, Sir. I’ll e-mail each Department to get it send each representative.”

“Then, are there any rumors circulating among the other employees?”

“Regarding the new leader, Sir?”

“Yes.”

“There have been rumors about it for a long time, Sir.”

“Anything exaggerated?”

“Most of them are just wondering who will be your substitute, Sir.”

“What about the accounting department?” Hearing that sentence, Savannah’s mind immediately understand where the conversation is headed.

“No different, Sir. All the clerks were just wondering who would just replace it. And nothing more than that.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“Okay. Is there anything else you’d like to do for the event reception?”

“Nothing. But..., speaking of the accounting department. I’ve had enough often see and hear that you are being so close to one of employee in that department. Are you in a serious relationship about him?”

“I’m not in a relationship with someone you are mean it, Sir. Our relationship is nothing more than just friends.”

“Actually, I don’t want to know, let alone forbid you from wanting to be in a relationship with whoever that is, Savannah. But here you work for me. I should care about someone like you near and is in my work environment. I don’t want someone like you have to hooked up with a bad guy like him. That man is no good for you, Savannah. You work here for your future, right? And if you decide to have a relationship with someone who to be far below you, it’s not fair. Not fair to yourself because you have to be side by side with someone who doesn’t deserve you. Forgive me if here I sound like advising and forbidding you who want to have friends from any circle. However, look at yourself. You still very young, you have an unbelievably attractive appearance, your smart brain has proven it directly with its average value so satisfying by the time you were in college back then was an addition that completes your perfection, Savannah. And, you’ve only been working for me for two years. I already feel very satisfied with all your work so far. Here I just want remind yourself that you are a personal assistant and my secretary. You are my responsibility, Savannah. If you don’t can reach your future just because you can’t find a suitable partner balanced, all of it will feel useless. Once again, I am sorry for I do not intend to meddle into life your personal. However, I just want to warn you from the start, Savannah. I care about you, and you are the only responsibility. Every employee who works for me in a close environment, has I consider it like a relative, colleague, or even family. So I must do that for yourself.”

It’s clear here that Jamie literally told Savannah to keep away from Dylan. Her boss forbade her to have relationship with his son, but all those excuses sound like Jamie thinking about, worrying and caring about Savannah more in comparison with the child. And the woman also already knew clearly for each of Jamie’s long words that only focused on one point problem, where he was forbidden to relate to Dylan.

Savannah actually quite knew about relationships Dylan along with the rest of McCarter until it gets to be felt very tenuous and far from harmonious. All because of Dylan who always be open when together with him. But Savannah knows, she couldn’t go any deeper into the McCarter family because of him absolutely no right to it. Therefore, Savannah wanting to keep himself from wanting to know any further why the McCarter family could really be far from harmonious.

“No, Sir. You don’t have to apologize. I’d be glad to have someone who telling me or says anything is right up. I really appreciate it.”

“You’re not offended, are you?”

“Not at all, Sir. Quite the opposite, I am very grateful for you care and to think about myself. It means a lot to me, Sir. Once again, thank you.”

“I just want you to make the right choice, Savannah.”

“Yes. I understand, Sir.”

“It’s good if you want to accept criticism or suggestions from others, Savannah. I really wasn’t wrong in choosing my former secretary’s replacement, who even for me the performance was never satisfactory. And my replacement later will definitely be very lucky to have a worker like that smart, initiative, nimble, just like you.”

“Thank you for all the compliments you gave to me, Sir. I really appreciate it.”

“Okay. So, what’s on my schedule today?”

Hearing that, Savannah immediately turned on the screen the tablet that had been in his hand and opened it the notes she made yesterday regarding any schedule his boss will do it today. After giving advice in the morning to Savannah earlier, it was Jamie who headed straight to work and that means no more playful words, which Savannah so thinking again about the thing that Jamie alluded to relationships between her with Dylan.

But after Savannah had read out the entire Jamie’s schedule work would do today. By the time that woman was already at the table, his mind went straight back to each utterance or the warning given by his boss earlier. It is forbidden for had a relationship with Dylan, but sadly Savannah couldn’t do just that. She can not end the relationship even if only just friends with Dylan, Savannah still can’t because of that would be unfair to Dylan who loves her.

And the thoughts that began to occupy, Savannah’s attention made her directly message Dylan to say that tonight she wanted to come to the man’s apartment as an invitation which the man had laid out when he was in the elevator earlier. Savannah wants talking about what his boss said to her earlier with Dylan. Didn’t mean to want to know more about the private McCarter family matters, but Savannah just wanted to know. Why the family could be so divided up to him, who also got banned for having a relationship with Dylan? He was not a nice man, like Jamie McCarter tell her.
