JEWEL OF MY HEART
Emily is a young beautiful and hardworking Lady, she was the pride of her mother.
Emily was the personal assistant to her first boss, Mr.Ben Kim. Mr.Ben Kim is the manager of one of the Robinson Group of Companies and Emily worked for him, she does anything he told her to do.
Firstly,she represent him when he is busy,accompany him in times of need.
Until one dreadful day,when Mr.Ben sent Emily on an errand that lost her job.
Mr.Ben sent her to a hotel to meet his wife Cecila Kim to tell her that he will not be able to come to the hotel and he is busy.
Then with this statement Mrs. Cecila Kim took the annoyance in her and beat the hell out of Emily saying that her husband Mr.Ben Kim is not attending to her because Emily has cast a spell on him.Emily on trying to escape lost one of her precious high heels shoe in the hotel.
But there was a good Samaritan in the hotel as he was named Scott Robinson,he help in taking the shoe with him.
Emily has succeeded in running out of the hotel but something happened.
The people or should I say costumers in the hotel had already video all that happened minutes ago and sent to the social media titled it 'The Personal Assistant having an affair with her Boss".And they also used it as an article as well. And to Emily's surprise she ran to her boss to tell him what actually happened,On getting there her boss have already drop a letter(sack letter) on the desk in the office. Emily reached the office and saw what he did,she started crying asking him that how could he do this to her after all that she did for him.
Then Mr.Ben Kim answered,"I'm sorry I had to do it because I was afraid of what my wife is gonna do and I don't want to spoil my reputation because of you and also the step I took is the right path because as I have sacked you people will now see and think that it not true you see".Then Emily collected the letter and ran home crying.
On her way home she accidentally bumped into a guy named Scott Robinson and at that time it has started raining already,so she apologized to the guy and was going her, due to the heavy rain and she's allergic to cold . Then,she started shivering and Scott noticed and decided to shield her with an umbrella while he was beaten by the rain he also gave her his suit to warm her. When the rain had already stop Emily thanked the gentle
Man heartfully and ran home with his suit. But she never bothered to ask the young guy for his name.
After Emily had left her first boss,Mr.Ben Kim office. She decided to look for another job and the problem that disturbs her most is that it is hard to find a job in the city. So she decided to look for a job online and luckily for her she found a job in the Robinson Group of Companies.She applied for an interview for a job.
This is the place of the guy on which she bumped into the previous days by his name Scott Robinson….
.

.
Scott Robinson is the son of Late Robinson Justin who died in a fire outbreak that happened years ago in Golden City.
This incidence happened when he was trying to save his son(Scott) but unluckily when saving his son he was trapped in one of the rooms, so he decided to sacrifice his life to save his son,after he had saved his son immediately,the building collapsed on him and he was burnt to ashes without any trace of his body.
Since then, Scott had a psychological mental behaviour by not allowing anybody to come into his personal life, he is not friendly with his employees.
He was strict and feared by many of his colleague but respects his uncle.
Scott Robinson on the other-hand is the director and owner of the Robinson Group of Companies Nationwide and in every company where there is director/manager there must be a secretary or P.A to them.But in Scott case he doesn't want either of them, he does his work on his own.
He never smiles with anybody expect for his sport manager Tony.
Scott uncle Roberts Ken have tried to talk to Scott about his behaviour and how its affecting everyone around him but he wouldn't listen so his uncle told that he will look for a P.A to help him reduce his works and pains.
But in what his uncle had said he still insisted in not wanting a P.A.Then his uncle was disappointed and said to him,'Scott you don't want a Personal Assistance to help you in the company, what has come over you Scott?'. Scott answered,'Uncle nothing is wrong with me,I just don't want anybody to interfere into my private life'. Then, he left the place angrily.
But to all Scott had said to his to uncle,behind Scott back his uncle still went ahead to accept the application sent to the company's email by Emily and requested Emily to resume work immediately.
Emily was overwhelmed after she received the message that she has gotten a job.
Emily resumed her duty as a secretary and was heading to her duty post happily then Scott mistakenly bumped into her and all her resumption files fell on the floor, then Emily became angry and was quarreling Scott for not looking his way, after she has recognized that it was the same man that saved her then she decided to apologize but Scott didn't stand to look at her nor accept Emily's apologies then got angry saying, ‘Some people are born to be naughty gosh' and left to her duty post.
After Emily had finished arranging her office desk she saw Scott coming close to her,she stood still thinking the Scott came back to apologies to her but to her surprise Scott entered a room and shut the door and Emily went close to the room and saw something written at the top of the room door and it was written, 'Dir. Of Robinson Group of Companies".
Emily was shocked and asked one of the officials working there, ‘please! The man that just entered that room who's he??'
Is he one of the costumers or an employee, The person in question laughed and answered 'He's neither of them, he is our director and his a strict guy he doesn't laugh nor smile with anybody and I'm so surprised to see you here because he never wanted a P.A and you're the first P.A to the director of this company and I hope you get use to him and he too will get used to you because almost all the working officials are afraid of him. ‘Good luck young lady and welcome to our company'.
'Thank you sir and I'm going to try my best to be the
Best secretary that the director will not only enjoy but feel my presence. 'Emily replied and she left the place quietly to her duty post.
Scott is still in his office, then Emily entered and greeted him and she asked,
‘'Sir, it's time for lunch will you go for lunch today?" There was no answer and she asked again. Then his respond was,"I'm not going for lunch and leave my office immediately (he said rudely).

Emily left the office embarrassed and crying and this continued for days.
Until one fateful day Scott called Emily and asked,"Will you go for lunch with me if you're done". At first, Emily was surprised at his words and answered,'Ye..s I'll go (stammering) thinking that there were going for a better discussion like reconciliation of disputes.
In the restaurant,Scott ordered for his dish and asked Emily what she needed then she ordered a dish of Raymond instant noodles and a soda drink. In less than Five minutes, the waiter arrived with the ordered dish.
Scott dish was only a soft drink while Emily was eating hungrily and surprised on Scott improvement. When they were done with their dish, Scott started the discussion saying,"I didn't called you here to only eat but give you a warning" and in this statement,Emily was confused and couldn't talk and Scott continued, ‘'I never wanted anybody to come close to me not even to have a Personal Assistant so the point is that you should not do what I didn't tell you to do and don't ask me for anything or to do something I didn't instruct you to do okay and therefore I have paid for my drink and you should go ahead and pay for yours and he left the place.
Emily was in a great shock state and was unable to talk but all she can do was to be crying and also Scott was also around the environment.
And being a bad guy but has a heart anyways before he asked Emily for lunch he had already paid for the ordered dishes before Emily could arrived that is to say that he planned everything.
After he had seen Emily crying he then left the place being proud of himself that his plan has been completed for now.
Emily couldn't stop herself crying, then the waiter came to her and said,"Ma'am please stop crying and go home".Emily without uttering a word thanked the waiter and went home disappointed.
The next day was a working day, Emily summoned courage and went to work not knowing that there's still a tragic drama that awaits her.

The next day was a working day,Emily summoned courage and went to work and that very day was the day all the Director of the Companies in Golden City are holding their meeting at 9:00am and as a secretary you must prepare all necessary documents, points and files for your boss to be able to give their own points of view.
In Emily case, she made all the necessary documents and files and then send it to Scott desk thinking he'll use it. It was 8am Scott set off to the conference room at the 11th floor of the Golden City sky scrapper.
Emily set her desk and was ready to take off to the conference like any other secretaries, following their boss but she decided to check Scott's desk to know whether he forgot something, to her surprise she saw that he didn't carry his diary nor the document she printed for hours for the meeting.
Then she carried it and ran to the company elevator and discovered that people was inside and there's was no space.
Then she decided to use the stairs, Emily ran on a thousand stairs going up to the 11th floor where the meeting was held. Luckily, for her she reached there on time and she crawled to Scott's desk and dropped the diary and files.
Scott was surprised to see her and he told her to back off and she did obediently thinking that by the end of the meeting he will thank her.
Unfortunately, It was her boss(Scott's) turn to give his point of view. Scott started giving his speech and developing his points, he talked and talked for hours without using any of the documents and he didn't lay a finger on the files brought to him by Emily and at the end of his speech all the directors applauded for him and agreed to his point.
Emily was talking to herself disappointed saying,"Did he crammed all that I wrote or something?? It's unbelievable." Then, Scott saw Emily but didn't talk to her instead he left the room and Emily left the room aswell and was about use the elevator but it was still crowed so she had to use the stairs disappointed.
Emily cried heartfully while using the stairs. On the stair of the 5th floor, she sat down on one of the stairs crying her eyes out.
Meanwhile, Scott didn't use the elevator aswell but was stalking her secretly and he saw that she was crying and he was at the 10th floor then he threw his hand kerchief to where Emily was sitting and immediately Emily didn't notice or verify where the square piece of cloth was coming from. She used it to wipe her nose.Yuck!!!
After Emily had wiped her nose she then realized that she didn't bring any handkerchief then she stood up to check who drop the handkerchief but couldn't see anybody then she left that floor immediately.
Scott being the bad guy came out from hiding but couldn't see Emily then he left the floor immediately aswell.
The next day, Emily wrote her resignation letter and dropped it on Scott's desk. Scott didn't look up to see the person that entered his office or to see the content of the letter, he did nothing. Emily got angry and left.
Immediately, Emily left Scott office she went to her desk and packed all her belongings and was leaving. All the officials in the company crying and unhappy because Emily had tried her possible best to make everyone fond of her except for Dir.Scott.
Scott opened his side view of his office window and saw how everybody was unhappy even his sport manager Tony was unhappy. He'll miss Emily's advice, guidance and counselling. The whole company became like a graveyard after Emily's departure.
Weeks later after Emily's departure the officials became very lazy to the call and this made the company's profit statistics to decrease by the day. Scott got very angry of the turn of events and decided to check some of the official's files and with his investigation he found out that the employees are no longer serious with their duty and with the annoyance in him he said,"Why didn't you finish your work on time huh? And if you don't give me a reasonable answer you'll be fired right now".
