'Congratulations You have been Promoted...' That is all i remembered from the dream from last night....i was however, a hundred percent sure that it was career related.
Beep...Beep... was the sound of my alarm, A sound i found very annoying irrespective of it's unusualness.
It was 4:00am and it was required to get ready before the CEO..who normally got ready by 4:30..and that was when my day started.
Since i moved into the statf quarters, i couldn't remember the last time i had a good night rest...it was literally schedule after schedule after schedule.
The whole 'being- the- Secretary- for- the- most -important -man- in- the -city' thing was phenomenal ofcourse...but it was all in theory. The job was literally an embodiment of restlessness and i wasn't informed..
My pay, although great..stayed unspent due to my work load. It was literally a 24/7 job with the exception of Sunday, which was usually a half day job.
I spent my day time serving the CEO and i spent my night prepping my schedule and devising ways on how to serve my employer the next day and after the whole day i only get two to three hours of sleep or a nap to be exact.
I sighed as i stood up from the bed; it was a very large bed, bigger than anyone i had ever slept on, in the past. It was a meeting day...i hated meeting days because it literally meant double the work load.
I picked up my pace, going into the bathroom for a quick shower in a short while i was done, it took me a few minutes but by 4:26 i was ready..my corporate wear; a white blouse and a black skirt was on, my hair neatly combed, i had shortened it into a bob a day before i started this job and my large hand back that housed many of my numerous needs hanged on my shoulder. I was now ready to go.
I stepped out of my house, locked the door and went down the flight of stairs to the CEO's wing..I stayed at the topmost floor in his multi million Mansion, while he occupied the rest of the building. The "Staff quarters" wasn't much of one if there were only two occupants there now was it? But i digressed anyways.. i still needed the Job no matter how exhausting it was ...so i made a mental note to not question anything unless it began to hurt me.
i arrived at the CEO's floor and walked up to his room to announce that i was ready to leave, another policy i was made to follow.
He came out, already dressed in his suit his handsome face radiating more than ever, he looked handsome...a bit too handsome and so i gulped swallowing my anxiety and nervousness. I cleared my troath with a grunt and decided to speak
'You look Good today sir' i said giving him a compliment, he smirked and fondled his suit tracing around its surface with his fingers.
'Gotta impress the investors' he replied, forgetting to appreciate my compliment...but i was used to this already though and it only took me one week of serving him to get a read of his character...
A cold, narcissistic man who has a main character syndrome.
'Okay miss Wren shall we take our leave?' he said as he walked past me towards the exist of the house and i followed suit diligently.
'Run down on today's schedule?' he asked as we walked to the exist, i stopped on my tracks
and yanked my bag fowards and pulled out the file with "Schedules" written on it's cover.
'Let's see...' i muttered under my breath but it wasn't quiet enough for him not to hear it and so he scoffed and began tapping his right foot continuously on the floor. I gulped again, this time out of uneasiness...the day was on it's way to getting ruined for me.
This was an everyday plight for me and i stayed being a victim of his constant taunt and rage baites.
I cleared my throat again...this time to read out his schedule to him
'You have a meeting with the CEO of Talon pharmaceuticals by 5:00am on zoom, time zone is our enemy so make sure to be on your best
Secondly there will be a meeting with the sales department by 7:00am, be there on time sir. By 9:30 the Bureau will be arriving for an office investigation so you should urge the employees to be at thier best.
By 11:00 there will be another meeting, but this time with the Administrative officers of the enterprise, there brunch will be offered there.
By 1:00 A lunch meeting with the president of Dale town will be held at the local lourve not too far from here so you will be attending.
By 3:00pm general meeting with the workers at the work auditorium. ....and that's all'
I said finally and he heaved.. shaking his body...he was ready to bump the day head on but I wasn't at all...
