《My famous boss (gxg)》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Today is the day when I'll meet Mrs Clarks friend. She told me I will be meeting her in a restaraunt for lunch and that made me very happy. I got to sleep a little longer today and I could slowly but surely get myself ready. I made sure to look professional but hot. I put on some jewlery and my favourite watch to match my dress. I couldn't leave out my jimmy choo's, they always tie an outfit together. I put on my favourite perfume and I got myself out the door. It is not so hot outside which I am grateful for. I grew up in London all of my life and the most the temperature went was probably around 28°C. I got into my car and played my hype playlist. I need to feel relaxed and to seem confident in myself. This is a first impression after all. I drove t the restaraunt and I got inside. I approach the waiter and ask where the table for Miss J is. He pointed to a secluded are and told me she is not here yet. I sat anyways, I can wait. I ordered myself a lemonade with ice. Checking my watch I see that I got here on time, she's just late. I take out my phone and scroll through pinterest as I wait. I have a game on my phone for these types of situations but I don't want to get caught playing a game right now. I want to seem serious and professional about everything. I hear the chair in front of my move as someone speaks up.
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting, I had a long time on set"
I look up to see none other than Scarlett Johansson taking a seat opposite of me. My mouth goes dry. She's even more beautiful in person.
"It's alright I didn't wait long" I say trying to keep my cool and not look like a crazy fan girl.
"I'm Scarlett, nice to meet you." she says as she smiles at me
"I'm Lena, the pleasure is all mine" I anwser.
"I know who you are, I heard all about you. Maria really enjoys talking about you. " she giggles
"Oh really?" I say
"Yes, shall we order food first or talk business?" she says clasping her hands together. I go to anwser but my stomach beats me to it. I'm not even that hungry. She finds it amusing and calls the waiter to bring us menus. I order a chicken salad, keeping it fiarly simple. I thought we're about to be quiet the entire time but she just seems to be interested in everything.
"I'll ask a few questions here and there, I don't want our lunch to be spent in silence." I nodd at that and she continues.
"How old are you?" she asks
"28" I anwser
"Where do you live?"
"Five blocks from here"
"Is that your natural hair color?"
"Yes"

"Do you own a car?"
"Yes"
"What kind?"
"Audi Q7"
"wow, that caught me off guard."
She continues interrogating me until the food arrives. I dive into my salad and she starts eating too. I eat slowly and sip on my lemonade. While she on the other hand is almost done with her meal. She must have really been hungry.
"How old are you" I ask. She looks surprised as to why I even asked
"Didn't you research me before this?"
"I would have but I didn't know it
would be you." she giggles at that
"How about you guess how old I am and I'll tell you if you're close or way off" she says leaning back.
"Alright.. hmm, I would give you 32 maybe" I say squinting. She laughs at that and tells me that I am off by a lot
"Are you 34?" I ask. She shakes her head. She can't be older, no way.
"35? That seem false" I say
"Why do you think it seems false?" she asks folding her arms.
"Well there is no way in the universe you're over 34 years old." I say observing her face. There is no wrinkle in sight.
"Well I'm sorry about that but I'm actually 37" HUH? Speak again? It seems like I didn't hide my reaction in time because she bursted out laughing at me.
"Very smart, you flatter me and then you can get the job for sure." she says
"No, no it's not that I'm just suprised... is all"
"Why do you want to work as my assistant?" she asks
"Well I wanted a change of career and Maria presented me with this"
"Ok then Ms Adams I have worked and been friends with Maria long enough to trust her judgement completely, here is my address and my contact info if you have any questions. You can start tomorrow and I can show you your office at my house as well."
"I have an office, what for?" I ask
"My assistant is the one who books everything and calls whoever I need them to, the're also the person who follows me on set and helps me get around"
"Ok, I can do that"
"You have to also meet my colleges at The Outset HQ, my team and also I'll have to get you a pass card for every building and also my gate." I nodd as she speaks .
"You are going to meet me at The Outset HQ where you'll recive your keys and pass cards to my house and warehouses. Arrive at 9.00am sharp, don't be late, you're just going to make me angry and we don't want that, believe me."
We stand up and I pay for our lunch. She looks at me strangely and I take our my normal looking card. When I turned 20 my father gave me my own account and my own card, but not a regular one. A black, metal card. If you don't know what they are. Basically I can spend whatever amount of money from it and I will never be able to spend it. After the incident I inherited 4£ bilion and his company. His Adams family corporation and a few other facilities. I am not interested in running a company but it is sort of my promise to him before he passed. I have people I trust back in England working and there and I run it from New York. Our old staff lives in our family home and when I visit it feels and looks the same. I miss home, but I know that my life is now here.

"You really didn't have to do that" She says as we exit the restaurant together.
"Don't worry I won't feel it" I say and smile at her.
It is true. I won't feel the change. I feel guilty spending a lot of money especially my dads. I have my own job and the salary from his company. I spend that on anything I need. My inheritance is not something I spend on myself. Besides our Adams family charity organisation makes me feel a lot better if we're being honest. I will have to meet them soon to talk about our next leading project.
Me and her go our separate ways and I head back home. I have the rest of the day off so I decide I'll do some errands. I get changed and go to the bank to see my status at the moment. I take all my cards so I can make sure I have enough on each and every one of them. I make one for Scarlett now. She is my top priority during work hours now and I will have to be prepared for anything or anyone.
I am met with the same blonde from before as she waits in line with a check in hand. She doesn't notice me so I get in line in the back. There is a tall man in between us so I doubt that she will even notice me. Not until the man moves to another line and I have to step forward. She looks back and notices me.
"You again" she says giving me her toothy grin once again.
"What a small world huh?" I say back
"Small indeed. What are you here for?"She asks
"I need to check some things and send out some checks, how about you?" I ask
"I need to deposit a check actually." she says back
"Excuse me miss, you can come over here, this one is free too." I hear one of the workers as she motions to another pult.
I get out of that line and go to the next. I turn my head to the right and see that Scarlett and I are just next to each other. She looks down onto her check and looks sort of concerned? It's my turn to go onto the pult so I take out my wallet. I, the dumbass, try and take out all of my cards right away so I can hide my metal one. I don't want Scarlett knowing that I have a metal card. Unfortunately, I am clumsy and my phone slips out of my hand. Thankfully I pick it up before it collapses onto the floor but I fail in catching three of my remaining cards I didn't give to the banker. Of course one of them had to be the metal card. Great. Lena you really outdid yourself. I pick it up acting like nothing happen. I give the cards to the banker and when she scans my metal card her eyes go wide.
I would have thought that they would be a little bit more discreet than a normal human being, considering that this is their actual job. I tell her to transfer money from that card and to the others. I don't like people knowing my name so I have custom made cards where there are no numbers. I know all the numbers and associate them with the color of the cards. I chose the red plastic card for Scarlett. The blue is usually for me and the green is for me to spend on others and on errands and groceries. On the metal card I receive money that I need to transact to my business team back in England. I have the littlest amount of responsibility and the biggest at the same time.
I finish up and leave the bank. I asked them to send out a few checks and they happily obliged. I unlock my car and get in. They told me I have 4.7£ bilion left on the metal card.
I know what you may be thinking why on earth would I choose to work when I have an amount of money that could last me 15 lifetimes. I choose to work so I have something to do. I donate a lot of money annually and most of it goes to hospitals and schools. Last year I donated 1£ milion to help build shelters for the homeless. This year I plan to go further with my charity team. I want to go to Palestine. There is an actual war happening there and people don't have the resources to defend themselves. This is going to be one big donation and I plan on doing it with them. Joining my team and helping the families that are affected. I want to help someone. This money I have can literally save peoples lives. I don't want this money to go to a greedy family member. I want to spend all of on something that matters.
Yes I bought myself an apartment that is literally the size of a house, but that was the only thing I spent my inheritance money on. I return home and change clothes to go to the gym. Today I am mainly working on my core and my ass. It is going to be painful but worth it in the end.

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.
