Chapter 8: the meeting

Then it's time for his meeting with the lords global and the delegated have arrived and waiting at the venue at the conference hall, and he was fast asleep and don't know how to go wake him up to remind him of the meeting and that the delegates from the lords global have been waiting for some minutes now, as it was my first day I wouldn't want to mess things up and get fired for the second time and this time I don't know if I will be as lucky as I was the first time and might even be kicked out of the house and I will have nowhere to go.
I sat in my office and many things were running through my mind, should I go wake him up or, I don't know if he likes being disturbed when taking a nap, then I summoned courage and said to myself whatever will be, will be and I am ready for whatever that comes out of it for I am only doing my job and what I was paid for.
Then I walked to his office.
Knock, knock, but no answer, then I decide to knock again.
Knock knock knock, three times I knocked but there was no answer, then decides to open the door and walk in only to find him fast asleep with his head bent over the table, with I little tap on the shoulder.
“Sir, sir,” I said. Then he woke up and adjusted himself.
“Yes, Cynthia what can I do for you”? He asked.
“Sir, I am sorry to have disturbed or shorten your nap, but I am here to remind you of your meeting with the lords global and that you are ten minutes out already,” I said.
Then gruesomely he bumped off his sit, picked up his jacket and dashed to the door.
“Cynthia what have you done, did you know the gravity of what you have done, gather my files and bring them to the conference centre immediately,” he said adjusting himself and wiping off his face with his handkerchief.
“Alright sir, I will do as you have said.
Hurriedly I gathered all the documents and ran after him but it was rather unfortunate that I could not catch up with him, and I don't know my way around to the conference centre.
Then I walk to the receptionist to confirm.
“Please can you direct me to the conference centre as I am new here and I do not know my way around”?I said
“Oh, okay that won't be a problem, she said.
“As you climb the staircase by your left you walk down straight then before the cafeteria you will see a little signpost then make a right turn just look up, there you will see the conference centre, she said.
“Thank you very much, but I never knew that there is a cafeteria, here,” I said.
“Oh yeah there is,” she said.
“Alright, then thanks k will get going, once again thanks for your help. My skirt was right that it didn't allow me to walk or run fast, then I had to drag it up to give me some allowance.
As I took to my heels and hurriedly dashed to the steps and searched for the hall, lucky I was here it is.
As I walked into the hall and all eyes were on me and I forgot to bring down my skirt which I earlier dragged up and all my thighs were exhibiting outside.
Then he called on me.
“Miss Anderson, over here, bring the files this way and come sit this way,” he said.
Majestically I walked in and sat beside him and I could notice him pairing his eyes on my thighs, then I hurriedly adjusted myself by bringing down the skirt. Then after all was said and done after the meeting they all smiled and shake one another, as a sign of reaching an agreement between both parties.
“Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I am glad we could come to a consensus on the deal, and I am looking forward to doing more business with you,” he said.
“The pleasure is all ours to do business with Micro Finance unlimited, and we also look forward to doing business and partnership together,” said a delegate from the lords global.
They all bid farewell and left.
“Miss Anderson to my office now,” he said with a commanding voice.
I started to wonder what is it that I have done this time around to warrant him using such a tone to summon me to his office, cracked my head to know what have done, but all to no avail, I just had to pack up and headed down the office. On getting there, opening the door became a problem for I don't like being scolded mostly not when I don't know what crime I have committed. But never the less is something that must happen so I open the door and stepped in.
“What are your duties in this place”? He asked angrily.
“My duties are, answering calls, taking messages and handling correspondence, typing, preparing and collating reports, organising and servicing meetings, managing databases, and prioritising workloads,” I said.
“Then why did you decide to inform me late about the meeting today, when you know I was already five minutes late”? He asked.
“You were taking a nap and I never wanted to disturb you, I am sorry sir, it wasn't my intention to make you late for the meeting sir,” I said.
“You always have your way with words, but next time don't let this repeat itself again or I will be forced to fire you again and this time you will be on the street,” he said.
“Thank you, sir, I promise it won't happen again sir,” I said.
“It doesn't matter if I am taking a nap or not, but I don't joke with my schedule and I always like keeping to time, get it,” he asked.
“Yes sir, I do, any other thing sir”? I asked.
“No you may go that's would be all for now,” he said.
“Okay sir,” I said.
And I turned to take my leave.
“Ehm miss Anderson, he called.
“Yes sir, I answered.
“What was the meaning of the show you put out there today, by lifting your skirt and showing to the world your thighs and drawing attention to yourself, what's that for”? He asked.
“Am sorry sir, my skirt was too tight that I can barely make a run and I was in a hurry to get to you and hand over your files to you but the skirt allowed me no space until I had to raise it before I got a chance to walk fast and I forgot to take it down cause I was just concerned with the files in possession,” I said.
“Hmm okay, but next time try to be careful of what and things you do, so people won't see you as cheap,” he said.
Alright, sir, thank you, sir, I will,” I said.
“So sir will you like to take anything for its past lunchtime”? I asked.
“No, I am good and thanks for asking, I will be leaving the office soon because I have an appointment with friends, we need to catch up, you are invited if you are willing to come along,” he said.
“No thank you, sir, I am good and I don't think I am in good condition to go out, I will be heading home after work sir, I said.
“Home you said, then how would you get in, cause the keys to the house are with me and you don't expect me to leave my keys with you,” he said.
“No sir, that's not what I meant sir,” I said.
“Then go get ready and pack your things for you are going with me, as I leave,” he said.
“Alright, then sir, I will do just as you have said, I will go pack my things and get ready sir,” I said.
As I opened the door and left, then to my office and got my things packed and ready to go, but waited for ten minutes, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty minutes but he's yet to be out and he was the one who said we are leaving immediately, and then I had already given up and just waiting for him to leave before I could go home, though it's almost closing hour, then there he is walking so majestically out from his office with his phone placed on his ear and smiling, then he walked to me.
“Are you all set”? He asked.
“Yes sir, I am,” I said.
“Then let's go, go to my office and get me my portfolio for I will be in the car waiting,” he said.
“Alright sir, I will be down in a minute,” I said.
As I went to his office and picked up his portfolio and ran downstairs to meet up with him in the car, then we drove off, and where we went and the things I saw, and what happened left me in shock and surprise.
