Chapter 11: Mistaken Position
Last Updated:
2021-04-24 00:00:04My name is Henry Iverson. On my first day at work as the architectural designer of Minerva, I find myself becoming the CEO’s secretary instead.
Now that I recall, I finally understand their odd feedback they gave me that day during the interview session on my decision of applying for THAT position on that application form.
And I see why they need a new CEO secretary, because the one who was interviewing me is expecting a labour, and I am here to take her place as the new CEO secretary!
While I am still sinking in my thoughts, the huge wooden doors next to the desk are suddenly opened, pulling me back to my senses.
There, as the doors are opened, a fair man in short blonde hair comes out from the office. I&rsqu

Just as I am immersing myself in my thoughts, Jamie Lee Peyton who is sitting at his table suddenly coughs twice. Perhaps he wanted to clear his throat, but his face is telling me that he was trying to gain my attention.Putting up a wry smile, I slowly walk away from the door and come to his front. I cover my crotch with my handbag as I stand straight on my high heels, trying to prevent my bulge from shaping out from under the skirt.As I look prepared to listen to him, with the end tip of his pen, Jamie Lee Peyton points at the analogue clock hanging against the wall.“What time do you think now is?” he asked.I turn my head to the clock, I remember I learned how to read an analogue clock when I was in

The light swirls in my eyes a little as I blink my eyes twice, “Do you like my pink handbag?” I know it, he kept looking at it when I first arrived, he is jealous about my pink handbag!“I hate it.”Huh? What? But!“It looks horrible. If you haven't realized, your bag is embarrassing me, and it is causing a huge damage to the company’s image.”Shh! She can hear you! And who are you to say that to my lovely pink handbag!? What the hell is this dude talking? What does he know about women's bags!?“Take this card.” boldly, he throws a Centurion Black Card on the table, the card slides for a bit until it hit

After Jamie Lee Peyton showed me his attitude this morning, I have myself prepared to welcome a long hard day for my first day at work. However, before I can put my courage and strength to the battle and fight, Jamie Lee Peyton walks out of his office and comes to me.“Boss!” I called in a man’s voice, “I mean, boss.” and then in a woman’s voice after I cleared my throat. I stand up from my seat, “How may I help you?” I asked, trying to show him some efficiency and some performances.“Ms. Chandelier.”While there, Jamie Lee Peyton suddenly called my name. Is he going to pick on me again? If he is, I think I can take it, ridicule o

The next morning, I wake up much earlier than usual and get prepared for work. I take a cab and arrive at the company at six thirty, which I am extremely certain that Jamie is not going to be any earlier than me.However, just as I reach my desk, I see lights seeping out of the gap of the huge wooden doors. Jamie is now inside the office.Oh no, oh no, oh no.What time did he enter? Ain’t he the boss? Why would he need to be here so early?How long has he been in there? Did he even go home yesterday? Did he sleep in the office? How is it possible for me to be here earlier than him? What time exactly should I be here for the rest of my days!?No! If I

We can definitely have some talks about work and company. Since I am new here, I certainly have an excuse to start a talk intending to know more about this company and my job in the future. Work talk is perfect to fill the empty spaces here, but... won’t it bring less affability?Right, how about we talk about our families? Topics about families always bring people together, like our parents, siblings, relatives, and even pets... That’s a perfect idea! But wait.I heard Mila said Jamie doesn't like to be addressed by his family name, doesn’t that mean that he doesn’t like to be reminded with family related things? Talking about families might lead things to an opposite effect, I believe that can get me into more trouble.So, no work, no families, what

Afternoon sun shines, people are walking out of their office buildings and walking into the streets like swarms of bees, heading to where they need to take their meals.I am currently sitting in the driver seat of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. My tight skirt almost spit into half when I spread my legs. I place my hand on the steering and place my foot on the brake pedal.Wickedly, I smirk at Jamie who is sitting at the back through the rear view mirror. If only my eyes can talk——Brace yourself, Jamie. For the first time of my life, I am going to drive in high heels.Just by the moment I am ready to start the car, I pull the gear and release the brake. However, just a second before the moment I am going to move my foot to the accelerator pedal, my ankle bends to the ri

After I park the car outside of a coffee shop named Coffee Bloom, Jamie stays in the backseat of the car while I get down to get him his meal with the Centurion Black Card he handed me.As the workers are working fast, at a peak hour like this did not take me too long to get to my que.Just when my turn finally arrives, I repeat Jamie’s order at the male barista who is standing behind the counter putting up a big smile at me.There I go, “Can I have a cup of ristretto, and a grape wine lamb and porcini lasagna to go please? If it’s possible, please make it quick, my boss doesn’t like to wait.”Trying to make it quick, I hand the Centurion Black Card to the barista right after I place my

As he hears me, Jamie shows me a disgusted face and squints at me in suspicion, “Did you sneeze in the paper bag?” he asked. I shake my head, “Of course not.” or should I? How about next time? After I mention it, Jamie cranes his neck and takes a look at the paper bag I put down on the front passenger seat. “Why is there only one paper bag?” curiously, he asks, “Did you get yourself a meal?” Did I get myself a meal? Wait. Should I get myself a meal? Oh. Now that I think of it, he said I need to work when he is working, and naturally that means I should have a meal when he is having! It was so intense to get Jamie his lunch that I totally forgot ab

After a few minutes travelling in my red Lexus LS 500, Jamie and I finally arrived at our destination.

The house is fully furnished and renovated. It is ready for people to move in and live in it. I am the architect who designed and built the house, however I haven’t decided what to name it yet.

The warm breeze brings the voile curtains up, allowing the morning sunlight to shower on my white bed through the French windows. That is when I am woken up by the sound of this hectic city.

Air flow, machines, birds chirping, and a woman sobbing… Those are the first things that come into my ear when I gradually return to my consciousness.They sound really vague at first, but turn louder after as I slowly open my eyes too.There, I find myself in a ward bed. My face is covered with an oxygen mask. My arms are surrounded by tubes and wires.And, I see someone burying her head in the bed, holding my hand tightly in hers.“I’ve lost our baby… I can’t lose you too, Henry… Please wake up...” she sobbed.Slowly, I raise my other hand, and lay it on her head. I caress her gently, stroking her hair th

It is almost midnight when I sit in my living room alone, waiting for Jamie’s butler to show up. It is always a quiet night like this that makes people feel lonely, isn’t it? Tears ooze out of my eyes abruptly, they trickle down my face one after another. No matter how many times I wipe them off, no matter how hard I try to stop myself from crying, my tears just won’t stop. I cover my face with my palms to cover my sound, I sob as quietly as I can, not hoping to wake Jamie up. I try to stop myself by clearing my head, yet every quiet moment like this keeps reminding me of the fact that we’ve just lost our child. Our dear child… If you can hear us,

The accident and our loss hasn’t been too kind on us, especially for Jamie. The impact of losing our child hits her heart and mental condition so badly. She had been crying for days, she didn’t eat much. She fainted a few times. She became so tired and weak, that the doctor kept her in the hospital for another few days.Tonight, Jamie is just sitting on the bed, sometimes leaning on my shoulder, imagining how different our life would be if everything never happened, how our life would be if we hadn’t lost our child.What gender will it be? Will it be a little princess? How heavy will she weigh when she is born? Will she look more like Jamie or me? What name will we name her? How will we celebrate her first birthday?

“Jamie…”Not knowing how much time has passed, I gradually woke up when I heard myself mumbling.I first feel my senses are unblocked, just like when one who sinks in the ocean for a long time gets back up from the water.The next thing I feel... is my body covered in pain, especially my head.“Umm…”Holding the pain back, slowly, I try to open my eyes.It is the moment when I open my eyes again, bright light seeps into my eyes. I squint into the light, my eyes take quite a while to adapt to the light.
