Audrey Maitre
After the incident, I'm positively sure that I wouldn't be qualified for the job. What in a normal today, that you see your future Boss drunk and collapsed into to you, like normal. Hopefully, never.
I sighed and waited for my taxi to arrive.
In 2 hours, I finally arrive at Eugene's Company, EL. It's better best not to let my emotion get the best of me, act professional, Audrey. You can do this.
I breathe in and out, and walk in. I see classic style everywhere. Golden tiles, are they literally that much of a show off?
I let out a scoff, and head to the receptionist, "Excuse me, Miss-" I look at her tag, Keila Raven.
"Raven... Miss Raven, I would like to apply for a job here." Her eyes bored into mine, "Sure, Lad. Just head over there." She pointed to the exit.
Confused, "Miss Raven that's- "
"Where you head out and don't come back, because you're not qualified here." She fakes a sweet smile at me.
Oh, come on! It's one of these girls! They think they know it all, but their tiny brains don't.
"Miss Raven, you're not the head of this Company. Respectfully let me ask you something, Where's your Boss?"
Her eyes twinkle with shock but she scoffs, "Who are you to tell me- "
"This sweet young lady right here, is correct Miss Raven." A male voice came from behind, the woman who confronted me is now petrified.
"E-Eugene! I.. This lady was rude to me!" She made an excuse right in front of the Head Company. Does she really think an excuse will get her away?
"Sweet Keila, an empty blurt won't get you anywhere." His sweet honey voice blinds his disappoint expression on her. But the woman was trembling with fright, "Y-You're not going to fire me are you?"
"Of course not." He let out's a dark chuckle.
Just when the woman sighs out a relief, "You are banished from coming here, so pack up and leave." Her breathe quicken and look at him.
"I-I'm sorry I won't be rude again! Just don't let me be fired." She began to cry but it didn't influence on him, however he taps on my shoulder making me turn to him.
His godly carved face structure was symmetrical! Fantasied rather than struck in awe, my thoughts snapped when he began to laugh.
"Aren't you supposed to be happy?" Confused, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, your hired." Shock of happiness ran through my system, but it didn't feel right for me. I got hired because a woman got banish from here. That' not right, if I'm a job I'm going to do it the right way.
"I'm sorry but she won't be banished." His eyebrow arch in amusement, "What do you mean little one."
Okay, just because I'm 4'9 and I'm 23 doesn't mean I'm short. I let a cough, "She will stay here and continue her job. Let her off as a warning. Not a spilling a tea, Sir. I won't be hired from an empty incident. I'll apply and wait for my appointment to be hired. Sir."
He blinks couple of times before hysterically laughing. The woman who packed up look at me, "Are you nuts?!" I turn to her confused, "What? I'm saying what's right, encouragingly."
"You will be punished!" she yelled.
"Punish for somewhat, unnecessary of us being what girls does. Pointless." I sigh and turn to him. "I'll leave, Properly."
I walk away from them and head to the exit, but I felt my arm grabbed roughly. I groan in pain, but I was twirl around, "Appointment time is now. And you're hired. Now come along."
Speechless, I was led by my new boss to his office. And it was enormous, it could fit 500 people max!
"Your job here is, my secretary and definitely my close assistant." I didn't even apply what job I wanted!
"Or I can just be an administrator here.." I mumble, but it seems he heard me.
"A wha- NO! You will not. I choose you so you better be appreciated!" he implanted his hand on his chest looking hurt.
'Sir, that's not going to work on me." I sighed.
"Oh.." he mumble and itch his back of his neck before he cough nervously. "S-so my office is here. And so, is yours."
I blink.
My office...
HERE?!
Aren't I supposed to have like a smaller room but comfortable? However, looking at him he was serious.
How am I supposed to work calmly with him, while he's eying on me like a hawk!
"And don't worry I won't be eying on you- "I breathe out a sigh of relief, "Unless it's necessary." my breath hitched.
I shouldn't be celebrating too early and look where it got to me.
I only nodded as he tour me to my new room which I'll be doing my work there. Surprisingly it's was not that big nor small, but it was comfortable enough as it is.
"Do you like it? The decorating I meant." He mumble, looking over I notice some fairy lights twinkling. I smile, "Yes, quite adorable for caring your staffs, Sir." He scoffs.
"I always do!" I particularly just roll my eyes at his dashing 'charm'.
"Do you always do, 'Your FIRED!' Blah Blah- "he cut me off by laughing.
"Oh no, quite sincerely not. My dearest. I prefer to say annihilate." I hummed in response and sat down at this fluffy chair?
Is it supposed to be fluffy?
"Now I never say, I never met a woman charmed me before. It seems you achieved it." He lets out a soft chuckle.
"Am I supposed to say, 'Yuppie! I did it! Mission Accomplish folks! Now here I rest my case. I charm my Boss and now I want my chocolates!'? Or 'Okay now me a pay raise because I earn it! Because I made you chuckle!'?" Catastrophic I say. I would rather dump my heart to the trash than provoke a drama!" I pouted but he was continuously laughing.
"O-Oh dearie me. Alright I'll give you a bonus, because I was in a bad mood today, but you seem to brighten my day!" My odd humor seem to get him. He was still chuckling, but a ring was heard.
Interrupted he answer the call, his light mood change very fast. "WHAT?! SINCE WHEN IT WAS BANKRUPPT?! I'm coming over there now!" He was furious, looking at me his anger seem to die down a little.
"You'll follow me." He grabbed my arm as we head out to a different building. It was mostly like those modern glass houses, but it was built for something else I guess.
As we walk in, a sound of beeping alarmed me, and it was terrifyingly loud.
"Where's the police!" he was shouting at his staffs. Didn't he say he cares his staffs a moment ago? It seem when his temper influence him, his personality changes but oddly not towards me.
But some pointed at the stairs while some scurried off not wanting to get lecture from him. He growls and continue to stomp his way to vault as it seem to be opened. But strangely there was no police in this case.
"Why the stair-.." I mumble.
"They should be here any minute!" He let go of my arm and went inside to see the disaster. I look behind to see some staffs coming around to see when going on, but the vault was restricted and if it wasn't, I'll be a pancake by now.
"Almost all of my amount is gone?! Who could of it done this? It must be someone working here.." I could hear his accusation, but he was right. Something here isn't right.
Why would some attack at this time? Everyone here should see something suspicious. Looking at them, I see no glance of mischief nor faking worries. All of them were confused of what was going on.
He came back with aggravated look, "Who here stole the money!" no one replied.
"All of you are fir- "My eyes widen of what will come next.
"No! Sir! None of these people didn't do it." I blurt out.
Damn my stupid mouth. It never shuts up.
"Then who did. Tell me! If you know!" he calmly spoke to me, but I could tell he wanted to shout but he couldn't. He wouldn't.
Come on! Think Audrey! Who would steal the money!
The police is upstairs but not here, why not.
Looking one of the staffs I ask, "What time did the bankrupt happen?"
"12:20 pm." A male answered my question.
Okay good. One response.
"What time did the police came?" I ask one more.
"I think 12:00 pm." A female answered this time.
I look at the vault door that's want beeping red, odd. The vault door is an alarm itself, but there were able and could hear the alarm, but why they didn't check?
"Upstairs.." I mumble. My eyes widen. "The upstairs, check the upstairs!" He look at me as we both run to the stairs and head upstairs. We run in a hallway, I look hard to only see a creak of sunlight to a door. It was open.
I pointed where it was, "There!" We rush and open the door to see a man hacking on his computer and police surround by him.
They turn to us, I thought the police would recognize the superior Eugene Everlock but instead there armed their guns at us.
"Get on your knees! You are no intelligent man! You're just a murder!" One man shouts.
I look over him to see confusion on his face.
"Me? Murder? Impossible!" he snaps.
He's committing fraud on him?
What is going on?
