The next day started quite early for sussie, as anxiety couldn't let her sleep. A lot of things were running through her mind, first she wondered why she was given the job with no experience as regards to the kind of job she was offered. Other than the fact that she didn't get the post as the company's chief editor which she was initially aiming for, the interview went too smooth and quick as far as she was concerned, and it just didn't seem right to her. But that was the least of her worries, she wondered how she was going to cope with her new job since she had no experience whatsoever, she already concluded that it was going to be an epic fail, and she would count herself lucky if she made it to the end of the day. She wondered what her boss would look like, The sound from the alarm cut off her thoughts, it was 7 o'clock already.
"Sweet peas!" Sussie exclaimed jerking up from her bed.
She had to be at work by 8.
she rushed into the bathroom, had her bath, she skipped breakfast so she could avoid delay nobody would condone any form of lateness since it was her first day on the job. She pulled a sleeveless red gown from the racks, and got dressed, She let her hair down, exposing it's wavy curls.
There was bit of confusion in applying her make up she couldn't decide wether to go with the blazing red lipstick, or the maroon lipstick. After much deliberation, she went with the blazing red lipstick as she concluded she wanted a striking look. Having been done with her make up, she grabbed her phone and purse and headed out.It was a thirty minutes drive form her house to her new place of work, giving that there wasn't any traffic
" Good morning".... sussie greeted receptionist.
"Good morning"....the she replied smiling.
"Could you please give me directions to the vice president's office? I'll be resuming as his personal assistant".
"Oh so youre the lucky one...."she winked, smiling sheepishly
"it's on the first floor, the second door by your left"
"if you're going to be working here we might as well get familiar, I'm hannah, oh and I already know your name.
sussie stared blankly at her,
looking quite puzzled."you have the best boss you know, but it seems I'm more excited than you who's got the job"
sussie let out a faint smile, not knowing what to say.
"wait! you don't know who the boss is?"
"No"......sussie answered with uncertainty in her voice.
"Ah, that explains it, why don't i let you go in and see for yourself, we'll catch up later"....she winked.
Sussie wasn't really a fan of elevators, she didn't find the idea of being in a moving metal box with strangers so close fancy at all, So she went with the stairs as usual she was still a bit puzzled as to why Hannah was going on about the boss, the rush of nervousness also began to sink, she took a deep breath, she shrugged it off, braced her self and knocked on the door.
"Come in".... a familar masculine voice echoed through the door.
it was just in her head she thought, it couldn't possibly be.
She wore her best smile and walked in. but the smile on sussie's face soon vanished.
***
It was him!
"You have got to be kidding me"....sussie murmured under her breath.
She couldn't believe her eyes she wished it was all a bad dream.
The room was silent and tense there was utter confusion and shock written all over both their faces, both of them questioning the other without using words. She was secretly praying in her mind for the ground to come open and swallow her,
she felt like she was having a panic attack,
she wondered why fate played her like this.
But in the midst of all this panicking she still found him attractive his face was still as perfect as two nights ago. Memories of their encounter came flashing back like blood gushing out from an open wound.
How could she be thinking of things like that at a time like this? she cautioned herself, hence feeling ashamed of her thoughts.
she was supposed to be thinking of the fastest means of escape from the situation, Instead of drooling over him.
