StarCrossed

Chapter 3

Ummeee! I am going to be late on my first day at work. I whined when Ummee insisted I take breakfast before heading for work.

I have woken up early due to excitement, but I ended up wasting time before a chose the clothes to wear. I'm supposed to report to work by 8:30. But here I am at home while its already 8:00.

Ummee they are definitely going to fire me. They can't work with someone who shows up late on their first day at work. I reasoned stuffing my mouth with waffles.

Airah! Calm down. You won't be late. Its just 15 minutes drive. I will lend you my car. Now hurry and finish the food.

Hearing that relieved me a little. I was afraid I had to take a cab. So I finished my breakfast and bade Ummee bye after she prayed for me.

I reached my work place in less than 15 minutes. I hurriedly got out of the car after parking and headed for the door. I knew where I'm headed, to Mr. Basheer's office. I'm his new assistant and he is the marketing director.

I knocked on the door softly and I heard a voice from the inside saying ' come in'. I pushed the door slowly and entered the magnificent office that was equipped with all the necessary equipments. A man of about 40-45 years sat behind the office desk. I assumed he is Mr. Basheer.

Good morning sir. I said to get his attention as he was focused on his computer screen.

He looked up at me quizically. Good morning, how may I help you? He asked.

Sir, my name is Airah Ahmad. I was hired as your new assistant last week and I was asked to report to your office today.

Oh, I see. You were interviewed last Wednesday right? He inquired.

Yes sir.

Take a seat please Ms. Ahmad. He urged and I did.

Okay, your job is actually easy, but since you are a fresh graduate it can be quite difficult. For now, you will take care of my schedules. I hope you know what I mean? He asked raising his eyebrows.
