Meeting The New Boss(2)

Maya quickly went over to a water cooler and brought back a glass of cold water. Eve took it from her, gulped some of it and put the rest on a table before her and returned her gaze to the magazine paging through it.

Soon enough, a certain gentleman who was tall, dark in complexion, had a chiseled nose and sexy eyes with super dark orbs appeared at the front desk and went towards where she was seated and said “Hello, you must be Ms Scott. I’m the CEO's secretary Derrick Lamina” the secretary introduced himself. “Evette” she said with a nod while extending her hand towards him. “Please follow me ma’am” said the boss's secretary after shaking hands with Evette.

Evette nodded and rose from the couch as she followed Derrick throwing daggers at the receptionist who was clearly shaken after finding out who she was. They entered the elevator for the executives and silently went up with no further words spoken between them.

Very soon the elevator made the ‘ding’ sound indicating they had arrived. She looked up to see it was floor number fifty! Wow! This must be the tallest building in the city centre. Evette heard that the most successful architectural engineer in this city had the tallest building erected for his offices. Well, his business has grown big and spilled over to overseas. It is only fair that the main headquarters be this elegant.

She sighed as they alighted from the elevator following the man who kept glancing at her over his shoulder. ‘I guess I’m gonna get used to this' Eve mumbled in her heart.

“This way please” said Derrick as he led the way. They passed through a glass passageway and Evette could see many men and a few women at work in their small offices and some quickly dashed their looks at her as they passed. She wondered how many people worked for the ‘Philus Designs Inc. Company.’

‘This really is a big company' she thought to herself, as she considered herself very lucky to be joining it. Derrick opened the door to a magnificent office, it was huge and extravagant. She could tell the taste that Mr CEO here has in both architecture and interior designing. Her eyes moved around the office taking in it’s features and admiring it very much but they soon landed on a figure that was behind the all marble desk which was looking intently at her with a frown on it’s face.

He was extremely handsome and could pass for Mr Universe tittle had it not been for his cold attitude he was spotting. He is tall, buff, brown eyes, brown wavy hair wearing an elegant suit. ‘I bet he has six, no eight packs under that suit' Eve thought as her eyes lingered on this rude man. He glanced at her with eyes as sharp as the chef's knife.

She felt like lashing out at him with a big “what?” as she knows herself very well but she needed to show a clean first impression. She averted her eyes from him as she waited to be introduced by Derrick.

“Boss, here is the new Design Department Executive Manager, Ms Evette Scott. Ms Scott, the boss Mr Theophilus Baron” introduced Mr Lamina. Evette naturally stretched out her hand to shake the boss’s hand but he just stared at it, she had to withdraw it after a few seconds hanging.

Mr. Baron’s demeanor was very cold and he exuded an overbearing aura. ‘Well, well, what a cold attitude. Is he even human? Eve asked herself.’ ‘I guess we are gonna have to fix that Evey' Eve sighed and made a mental note to herself. Mr Baron stood up abruptly without even greeting her properly and questioned coldly “Scott is a woman? Call Jack in here immediately” he bellowed.

‘Great, we are not only rude and cold, but we are also sexist' thought Evette mentally throwing her hands in the air as she pulled a chair to sit without being invited to and waited for the drama of Mr CEO. He frowned at her behavior but didn’t want to indulge her. She wondered what kind of a man he was who was surrounded with such cold aura he could almost freeze up the entire Island.

A gentleman entered the office. ‘Looks like all the gentlemen here are very tall and handsome. I’m gonna have a field day being surrounded by hunks everyday. I hope they aren’t psychos' mumbled Evette in her mind.
