I QUIT!

“She is new. Handle her with patience and kindness. If she gets scared or run away, you will have to go through my wrath! Am I making myself clear?”

He instantly looked down and submitted to his Alpha.

“Yes sir” He nodded while swallowing hard.

……………….

At Secretary’s office,

She sat on her chair happily and began to arrange her stuff. There was a diary, a computer, a pen holder along with her name plate kept on her desk. She looked at her name plate and smiled widely. She opened the diary of appointment and began to go through it.

Her head started spinning when was more information than she could ever imagine. After an hour, she heard the bell.

She immediately kept the diary down and walked like a toddler towards Brian’s office. She knocked on the door.

“Come in, sweetheart” Brian spoke in a gentle voice.

‘Why my heart beat faster every time he calls me a sweetheart?’ She thought with a longing look on her face.

She instantly kept her face straight and opened the door.

“You called me, sir?” She asked innocently.

“You don’t have to walk till here. I will press the bell and inform the work through text the messages. Hmm?” His voice was gentler than her mother making her feel butterfly in her stomach.

“Okay, sir. I will go back then” Smiling at him, she closed the door and went back to her seat.

She got the notification of the text and opened it.

*Brian: Please bring me file no. D1106*

She kept her cell phone to her chest and excitedly said, “Ohh, he is just so sweet and gentle!”

Brian who was looking at her every move through the live CCTV footage, smiled.

She composed herself, cleared her throat and went inside the file room. She began her hunt for the file no. D1106. But she can’t seem to locate it in the gigantic file room.

Being roughly 5.6 feet, she couldn’t even read the file numbers at the top and second to the top shelves. She noticed a small self-supporting ladder at the side of the room and climbed on it to look for the file.

“Ms. Donovan, sir is having an urgent meeting, you don’t need to look for the file. Please bring….” As Manager Ben was instructing her, she immediately turned and slapped his face hard with the file in her hand.

He directly fell on the ground in shock.

Emily covered her face and got down from the self supporting ladder with a frightened face.

“I am so so sorry, sir. I was looking for the file” Emily nearly cried.

‘Woman! What do you have against me?’ Manager Ben wanted to rip her apart but instead of showing anger, he plastered a fake smile on his face.

“It’s okay. It’s fine. It’s completely fine. Just please bring five cups of coffee and snacks in sir’s office and don’t spoil or destroy anything in front of our investors, okay?” He rubbed his face and got up.

“Okay, sir” Emily took a sigh of relief and went towards the kitchen on the same floor to bring the coffee and snack.

She filled the two plates with sandwiches, switched on the coffee machine. While she was waiting for the coffee machine to warm up, she thought about delivering the sandwiches to them early.

She moved toward the sandwiches and gasp in pain when she realized that the back of her sandal was digging in her heel, her leg started bleeding, and it was just the beginning of the day.

Emily walked slowly, tried not to do another mistake. She somehow managed to knock the door with two plates in hand. And guess what, who opened the door? Manager Ben!

Manager Ben took two steps back to give her more access. He tried to help her by taking one of the plates from her hand, but suddenly her heel slid on the carpet and she tripped throwing the sandwiches and ketchup on Manager Ben.

“What is wrong with you, Ms. Donovan? Are you bullying me?” Manager Ben lost it and asked in a frustrated voice.

Emily fell on the floor on her face, in a not so ladylike manner. Her legs were spread apart. If someone look directly from the top, she was literally lying in an inverted snow fairy shape.

“No, sir, I….” Emily was not able to speak and groaned in pain.

‘I just cause so much ruckus on my first day and now I am lying on my stomach in front of the investor and…. Mr. Brian Hale! Lucky is my middle name!’ She cried in pain.

Brian immediately got up from his seat to help Emily along with other investors while Manager Ben was just standing there straight. He seemed to be frozen on his place by Emily’s another attack. Before anyone could say another word or touch her, Emily got up from the ground like a b-boying dancer and started collecting the left overs.

“Sorry, sir. I will bring more” Her cheek turned red in embarrassment.

“Leave it, I will clean it and bring the other batch” Manger Ben spoke annoyedly from behind.

His suit was covered with ketchup and mayonnaise at which the bread, cucumber, lettuce was sticking.

“Emily, please go back and clean yourself” Brian said in a low voice.

Emily stormed out of the room holding back tears, embarrassed to the core.

‘I am doomed! Why is my life so messed up?’ Emily thought while running towards the washroom.

As promised, Manager Ben brought the next batch of the snack along with coffee.

As the trouble maker locked herself in her office, the meeting went smoothly after that.

After two hours, there was a knock on Brian’s office door and manager Ben walked in.

“Yes, Ben?” Brian looked at him confusedly as he didn’t call him.

Manager Ben kept a small letter on his table before he said two magical words,

“I QUIT!”
