I don't deserve to walk up such long stairs

How was her new boss like?. He was probably a dumb looking man, and maybe he would have a bald head. Lucy thought to herself as she stood at the airport, waiting patiently for her boss to arrive. She was nervous as she wondered how he might try to touch her because he is a pervert.

"Caynt I just finish him off this instant , America and their strict rules" Lucy hissed and tried calming herself down as fear lingered around her. 

"I will always be by your side, holding you close to my chest while I read a fairy tale to you. My beautiful Lucy don't you cry. Your mother has a drug to end your misery". Lucy had recorded a voice audio of  the song her mom sang most nights for her  . It was a very attractive music with a calm aura and all those listening without her consent had smiling faces . She was tired and needed rest so she used the music to relax.

"Miss Asra Brunette". A man mentioned her name and stood in front of her. He was an old man. If this man was her boss then he is doomed. Finishing him will be easy as drinking water. She examined his features. At least he wasn't bald and ugly. He was old enough to be her grandpa. She thought to herself and knitted her brows . So this was the whimsical who mistreated women. It took lots of anger restraints to swallow her pride and speak calmly.

"Hello sir. I'm your new secretary. Thank you for hiring me". Asra said with a sweet smile and he paused. 

"New secretary? , oh no my little one. I was only ordered to pick you and drive you to your new home. I'm not the boss, Mr Jason is. "  .He said so politely. How can this man work for such a ruthless creature. Did he not know his boss mistreated women. She begun to feel guilty for rubbing imaginary dirty oil all over his personality. Although something about what the man said pushed her into a a second of her past. Why was their boss called Jason of all names? That name was precious to her.

"Well thank you Mr ummm?" Lucy cleared her throat uncomfortably and questioned him.

"Henry, come along now. You have a long day tomorrow so it's better if you rest" Lucy nodded and entered the car with her bag placed at the boot. She knew she was not supposed to talk more else she might distract herself from the mission, but atleast she could ask how this so called Jason looks like right? 

"Uh hum". Lucy cleared her throat again which made Henry to glance at her with his side gaze. 

"Is there something you want Miss Brunette?". His formality was excess for her.

"Just call me Lu, it's what my friends use to address me" . She smiled at him and he felt uncomfortable. His life as a driver prevented ladies from smiling at him often yet this little girl permitted him to call her Lu. 

"Well then, what can I help you with Lu?" 

She could see his white teeth as he smiled. Taking in a deep breath she poked her cheeks to before bringing out the big question.

" How is my boss like. The Jason guy". Her tone instantly made him to laugh. 

" Trust me you wouldn't want to get on his bad side. He focuses only on his work. The lad doesn't even give attention to America's top female celebrities. He's just rigid. Don't tell him I said all this"  Henry concluded with a laugh only to see Lu lost in thought.

"You mean he doesn't have multiple women? He is a billionaire for crying out loud. Maybe he's keeping it a secret. You just don't know" Lucy closed her eyes deeply, unable to believe how she addressed a man who might have been with the billionaire for long. There also is no way for Shirley to lie. They both are like sisters. 

"I'm sorry Mr Henry. Maybe I'm too nervous and I always want a clean job". She said in hope for him to understand her. 

"Don't worry child. I understand your problem and I assure you that his first love is his work". Lucy sighed with frustration and thanked him. She concluded that the old man probably didn't know what his boss did to his mistresses.The ride was exquisite, making her anger to disappear. The view outside the car window was eye catchy. 

"This country is beautiful"  Lucy whispered to herself. France was also extremely beautiful but since she lived there her whole life, it wasn't a big deal like this. 

The bridge they passed on was huge with red painting. She stretched her head outside the window to savour the fast breeze . 

".mmm so refreshing" That was all she said as a wide grin plastered on her face. Henry found her fascinating. So this mysterious girl was going to follow his master everywhere? He really wondered if Jason will fire her soon or just stick with her.

The trip finally halted with the car entering a huge black gate . It had garden green ornament covering everywhere  with traces of colourful buds. The car moved in and packed in a garage filled with many porsche cars. Henry switched off the engine and got down.

"Am I already starting work?". Lucy questioned and sighed. She couldn't believe that work was starting immediately. This huge building can only be referred to as her work place. Henry ignored her question with a smile to open the door for her. 

"Miss Asra Brunette . Come with me" . He walked towards the entrance of the building while she followed him. Lucy ensured that she straightened up her dress and hair to look presentable and not suspicious before entering. She sighed with nervousness . This new boss of hers seemed really dangerous to make people think he's so innocent. 

"Here I am. The place to begin my mission. It's action time". Her thought rang loudly in her ears. The inner building was decorated with rich boards and glass walls. Rose and lavender brightened the appearance with it's rich colours. Henry stooped at the receptionist and took a key. In the meantime all Lucy did was greet every single person she came cross with.

"Mr Henry, can you at least give me a head start of the employees here. I really have to blend in peacefully". Lucy whispered beside the old man. He still ignored her blabbering and kept moving forward up a long stairs .

10minutes after, Lucy emerged from the edge of a stairs with sweat all over her body. She was exhausted and felt like a pregnant cow. Henry was standing In front of a door and she could see how he was hiding his laughter.

"Miss Brunette this is..." He couldn't stand it anymore and just bursted out into laughter. A woman passing beside them wondered why he laughed and with curiosity, she approached Lucy. In no time, she also burst out into laughter. The lady In front of her looked so tired and worn out.

"Yeah it's funny huh. I just climbed mountain Everest . My bony aren't in the right fucking place " Lucy complained and the woman watched her with shock.

"You climbed the stairs?, why didn't you take the elevator?". The woman spoke while still forcing herself to stop laughing. Lucy became confused by what she said. Was there really an elevator. Of course there should be! This building was high class.

"Did Henry make you use the stairs? Call me Mrs July" The woman said and glared at the old man who now had a masked face.

"I need to be fit . I had to use the stairs. I'm sorry Lu but I don't want to be broken down anytime soon" Un-fucking-believable. Lucy screamed in her head. This old man really suffered her because of some theory . This was the second time she swallowed pride and forgave him. 

"This is your apartment. It has everything in it. Kitchen, bathroom, room , swimming pool and what ever you need. If you need anything, contact Mrs July. She will help you with it".

Those were the final words Mr Henry said before heading down the stairs. 

Lucy didn't waste time after knowing where everything was located. She quickly entered the shower to bath. Sometimes she just preferred to sleep than shower. The only reason that prevented her was because she was sweating and didn't want to dirty the bedsheet. 

 "Oh God help me to wake early. I really hate waking early. But please , I have to go to this work early. Amen" Lucy spoke sadly on the verge to cry. After showering, she hopped on the bed as sleep carried her away.
