《Mr. Executive》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Blinking once then twice, my hand slams down onto my phone just in time for the alarm to go off.
I swipe at the phone for the clamor to stop and just lay there as I have all night, barely catching a wink of sleep.
Five minutes later I hop out of bed and into the shower to get ready for the day to come.
Coming out of the bathroom with my hair air drying, I quickly go over to my wardrobe and scan the outfit that I had picked out the day before which was hanging neatly from the hanger.
Quickly slipping my clothes on, I wear my nude high heels and then go over to my dresser to lightly do my makeup so that it doesn't look like I've been up half the night due to my never ending nerves.
That done and sorted I make myself a quick breakfast with ten minutes to spare.
***
"Excuse me Miss? Miss? We're here".
"Huh?" I mumble unintelligently before comprehending what the cab driver has just said.
I smile at him politely and thank him while I hand over the fare and get out of the car to resume what I had been doing previously.
I gulp at the dauntingly huge tower before placing one foot in front of the other and going through the revolving doors.
Taking in the pristine marble floor and the creme coloured walls I walk past the security checks over to the receptionist whom is situated right in the middle of the lobby behind a desk.
Her blonde hair is pulled up into a neat bun and her red painted lips curl up into a smile as she motions for me to hold on for a minute so she could get off of the phone.
I look around me trying to ignore the prying eyes of the people walking to and fro from the building.
A clearing of the throat snaps my attention to the woman as she asks me what I am here for.
"Um I was called by somebody that I had an interview with the head of the finance department" I answer somewhat confidently.

"Oh of course, you must be Nora Davis. I have all your files and everything right here. All you have to do is go up to level number fifteen and talk to Candice who's the head receptionist there and she will tell you where to go from there. I'm Natalie by the way".
I smile at her and thank her before heading to the elevator and riding all the way to the fifteenth floor.
Walking out I go over to the women who had a name tag that read Candice.
I repeat the same thing to her as I did to Natalie.
Candice tells me where to go which is the head of the departments office and then tells me the do's and don'ts of how to talk and act in front of him.
She wishes me luck and with that ushers me towards the office.
At least the people here are nice.
I walk towards the door leading to the office before knocking on it.
A soft voice answers from the other end and tells me to come in.
I open the door to see a small looking office with a man around his late fifties with salt and pepper hair sitting behind a desk. Wrinkles line his face as well as laugh lines which over all makes him look friendly.
He smiles up at me before putting his hand out to which I place mine in his.
"Jeff, Jeff Stevens" he says gruffly.
"Nora Davis, Sir" I say back politely.
"Oh I know Nora and please call me Jeff, everyone else does. Please take a seat".
I quickly do so after which he continues on "I'm very sorry for the inconvenience we must have caused you on the lack of time but work has been piling up and well I need someone to help around with the calls and what not".
"Oh no problem Sir- Jeff" I correct myself quickly after he throws me a look "I needed a job and I'm glad I'm getting an opportunity at the very least."
I hope that didn't come out too desperate.
"Well that's great. I apologize it's not on such short notice but you pretty much already have the job. The last assistant pretty much left us high and dry."

I nod my head in understanding and confirmation as he tells me all the jobs I'll most probably be doing and how I could situate my self with Candice who'll show me the ropes.
After that he asks me the usual questions and goes through my paperwork etc.
***
Half the day goes by increasingly fast and I find to be enjoying myself quite a lot.
I can't even believe I was so nervous I could barely sleep.
Candice and I have bonded quite well throughout the day and I can see myself becoming close friends with her in the very near future.
Right now both of us are sitting in the cafeteria for our half an hour break before I have to go back to filing some documents and Candice doing her own thing.
"You haven't happened upon Mr. Tall dark and handsome have you as of yet?" asks Candice in a sort of teasing voice.
"Mr. Tall dark and who?" I question stupidly.
"Oh you know who I'm talking about". "Alexander James?" she further explains at the befuddled look I have on my face.
"You know the incredibly hot guy who's the CEO of this place and has his face plastered on nearly every single magazine".
"Oh him".
I had heard of the infamous Alexander James.
I mean who hadn't? But I'd never seen him before as unrealistic as that sounds but I'm not much one for the whole business or sports illustrated section in a magazine.
I'd much rather stick to my celebrity gossip and all that.
I'm one of those people who pretends not to like gossip but if anyone's dishing anything out I'm all ears.
"Yes him" Candice replies back to my previous comment, nearly scoffing at me but looking at me with amusement clear in her eyes.
"I was surprised you hadn't fawned all over him but I guess I now know. Rumor has it that he's slept with nearly every single one of his personal assistants. He must be adding a whole new meaning to personal I'm guessing".
We both giggle over Candice's words before we realize our break is up an we have to head back to our desks.
Both Candice's and my desks face each other so it's even more fun to work with one another than it would have been if our desks would have been across the halls.
Halfway into the large pile of files, the intercom buzzes as Jeff's voice comes over the line.
"Norah could you please come inn for a moment".
I reply back and enter into his office where a manilla envelope lies on his desk.
"Mr. Alexander called and said he wants that in his office as soon as possible. Be a dear and give to him would you?".
I calmly nod my head in confirmation and gently grab the folder in my hand.
Walking out of the office and over to Candice I stare at her before she looks up and say "I have to give this to Mr. Alexander".
She laughs at my expression and then gives me directions on where to go while wishing me luck.
Is he honestly that bad? I think to myself before shaking the thought out of my head and telling myself to be confident.
Entering the lift I press onto the button for the highest floor which is the thirtieth and wait for the elevator to arrive to the floor.
The door opens and I walk straight past the secretary which is exactly what Candice tells me to do so because apparently the secretary's a straight up bitch.
The woman at the desk barely even looks up at me before going back down to playing on her phone as I try to stride confidently to the big oak doors at the end of the hallway.
I pause right at the doors, taking in the intricate designs, trying to stall my time.
I take in a deep breath to calm myself down as I reach my hand up to knock on the door.
