Give 'Us' A Chance

CHAPTER-5

"Yes ma'am"

That girl is getting closy closy to him.

I don't understand what you are implying to say but whatever. 

"Ok, so Mr.?" I asked him relaxing and leaning backwards in my chair.

"Ethan, Ethan Thomas" Ok now I am not going to forget his name. It's not good.

"OK, Mr. Thomas, make yourself comfortable in this office as you have started working here and to give your 100% it's important for you to adjust in this environment as soon as possible. And there are few things that I want you to tell, and I hope that my all employees always remember these."

He nodded. "Yes miss"

"These are the obvious things but just to do my work on my behalf I would like you to know-"

Taking my time, I put my elbows on both side of my chair arms and sat straight and legs crossed in a very lady but bossy mannered "that always be on time no matter what until and unless there are some serious emergencies else 1% from your monthly allowance will be deducted each time after 2 warnings." 

He surprisingly nodded but was quick to hide his emotion. Actually, I like this rule it makes my employees to be punctual, who wants to cut their salary right. Well, in my case I have to do overtime, but that day never came yet. 

"One for you without my any order, as soon as I enter my cabin, I want my coffee HOT. I don't like procrastination at all Mr. Thomas. If the work is not done by the given deadline my employees face the consequences and there are no warnings in this matter. One more thing, if any day you feel like doing overtime so you know the office time ends by 5pm you can overtime only up to 7pm. After 7pm not a single employee should be here." I paused a bit and continued. "And never mix your personal and professional life Mr. Thomas, because I won't give you days off for your every small personal reason as well as I don't want delaying in office work because of your personal issues. If anything like that happens, I won't tolerate that. You got my points."

He for a second didn't answer he was just staring at me. Then suddenly he came out of his world, licked his lips and nodded with a reply of yes ma'am.

"Ok, so for today Mr. Thomas take these 5 files check them and rewrite it." "Also, cancel the meetings after lunch break and reschedule them in this week except Friday." 

With that he went away, and I also engrossed myself in the work taking sip of my coffee which was slightly cold now. Fine. 

Well, I was feeling so bored in my house but now I feel energetic and willing to do work now. Suddenly, such a mood change, but that's nice.

I know the reason behind the sudden mood change. May I speak.

No.

I was working, then working, and again working. Ethan also done his given his work within 2 hours Impressive, so I gave him some more work. 

After the lunch time, I went to a boutique. This Friday, there is an event for all the businessperson with unicorn company. So, yeah, I was invited. And the thing is I love to attend events. 

I entered the boutique to try the outfit. The lady in her mid-forties gave me an unnecessarily too bright smile. How some people always love to smile and be happy and bright no matter what is going through in their life. 

5 years ago, when one day dealing with my own miseries, I was walking down these NY streets I saw her trying to stop her tears falling from her eyes sitting on a bench. But these traitor tears. 

I was feeling to join her and wanted to cry with her but instead I just sat beside her. When, I asked her what happened she told me that her own son threw her out of her house when he got married two days ago reasoning, she was a burden, and they didn't have much money to look after her. I soothed her and after some time when she calms down, I asked her what her hobby was just to lighten the mood, but I also didn't have anything to say so I just asked her for her hobby. She told me she loves designing clothes, she also showed me her designs. I was surprised.
