Felix Is My Boss

POV: Selina
I can’t believe he wants to use me and replace a pet rabbit. I wish he has just told me he liked me and let me respond as I’m supposed to. All the nice lunch and perfect character would have been nice if I wasn’t being asked to replace a rabbit. Like, what the hell is he going to do with a big rabbit like me.
“Don’t you think that it’s weird for his rabbit to bear my name, isn’t it weird that she looks just like the rabbit on the frame?
Why do you think he want me to replace her, couldn’t he just get more rabbits if he needs more pets?” I asked angrily as I paced the living room area of my new apartment. I’ve been this way since I got back home, I’m so angry that he would even compare me with a rabbit. Our lunch day was going so well, it would have ended in his bedroom if he hadn’t said those troubling words to me.
I couldn’t sit still for one second, it’s more alarming to think that a part of me wanted to say yes to replacing a pet rabbit. I loved him that much, I was willing to say yes to such a ridiculous request as long as I get to be with him. The thought of seeing him again is even scary right now. I can’t look into his eyes and not think of the moment he had asked me to replace a pet rabbit in his life.
“What are you going to do if you bump into him at work?” Amara asked me as she laughed at my misery the same annoying way she has been laughing at me since I walked in through that door and told her what he said to me.
“Stop messing with me, Ama, I’m really angry. Now, why would I bump into him at work, is he a jewelry designer?
Or, wait, is his adorable little Lina a designer like me too, am I going to be working side be side with a rabbit that is bearing my name?” I joked, causing her to laugh even louder.
“Quit playing around and tell me what you plan to do if working with him gets too awkward. I mean, you can decide to replace his pet rabbit date the guy, but won’t that affect you in the office, would you be comfortable seeing them every day at work?” she asked again, sounding more serious to make me see meaning in her words. But I could only squint my eyes and stare at her in confusion because I have no idea what she is talking about.
“Oh my God!
Oh my God!
Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about, Lina. For fucks sake, you have been talking about working in this company for as long as I’ve known you. Don’t tell me you don’t know the owner of the famous FY Glams?” she exclaimed. I still stared at her in confusion, I tried thinking about it but I couldn’t get her point. As a matter of fact, it’s just dawning on me that I do not know the owner of the company. I never bothered to find out the owner, I’ve always thought that Simons mom was one of the owners and that was enough information for me.
“The initials says it all, Lina. FU Glams, owned by Felix Yeats!
You work for the guy, Selina. He’s your boss now.” she yelled in my face, shaking her head in disappointment. I was dumbstruck by that revelation. Now it makes sense why I see him everywhere, it makes sense why I bump into him around that axis. It’s his company, that’s why he’s always there.
“Felix Yeats owns FY Glams…
Why didn’t I see the connection all this while, how could I be so stupid?” I thought within me as I lay on my bed with my eyes wide open. I’ve been thinking about it for the best part of the night. I thought of him even as I had my night bath and lay on my bed. He’s one hell of a guy, I must admit. Maybe I shouldn’t be worrying about my reaction when I see my boss tomorrow, I should be more worried about his reaction when he finds out I’m now working for him.
“Will I lose my job on my first day at work?” I thought in my heart. With that thought in my head, I fell asleep and had beautiful dreams of having an office romance with my boss, Felix Yeats. It was such a long night, I can’t recall the last time I’d soiled my panties in my sleep.
The next morning, I woke up with a terrible headache, but I still felt a little excited to start work today. I wonder if my excitement is for the job or because of my boss. Whatever my reason may be, I still got ready in record time, and arrived at work on time to get familiar with the building before the others arrive. I met Mrs Wilson stepping out of her car when I arrived and I was so happy to see her.
“Mrs Wilson…
Mrs Wilson…” I called out to her as she walked towards the building. She heard me calling, she actually turned and saw me waving in her direction. But for some unknown reason, she didn’t stop. I had to run in my hills to catch up with her, and even when I got to her, she still didn’t look too happy to see me.
“What do you want?” she asked in an icy, harsh tone that relays her hatred.
“Ma’am, I’m so happy to be working with as your assistant, I’m so glad that you listened to your son and helped me get this job. I promise to do my best in my position and make you proud. I’m so grateful to you and Simon. If there is anything I can do to show my appreciation, I certainly will.” I told her excitedly.
“Well, I can certainly think of a few ways you can show your appreciation. Why don’t you start by showing me all the new jewelry designs from the new interns, including yours…” she told me with a smile, a forced smile actually. I wanted to tell her why I won’t be able to do that, but she continued her ridiculous requests which now seems like a test of my loyalty.
“You can do me a favor and report to me first, before going to Mr Yeats with your daily reports. How’s that for appreciation, would you do that for your benefactor, my dear?” she asked.
