I didn't say you could leave yet did I?".

I turned around looked at him. He threw the documents on the table before pointing to a cabinet that was on the opposite side of the office. I looked at it and noticed that it was full of different types of achievements and awards.

" There's a small box at the bottom of the cabinet, I need it".

I waited for a few seconds before sighing and going to fetch his box like the assistant I was. I opened it before bending over and started to move things around so I could find it. I saw a small red box with a lock on it and I took it up before closing the cabinet.

After handing it to him I was thinking about leaving but I stayed put. I wondered what else he had in his mind. I do believe he wants to work me out as much as possible. Only because he despised me.

"You can go now and ensure the documents on your desk are sorted through and edited. I don't tolerate laziness and unfinished work".

I left his office and went to mine. The first thing I noticed was the pile of documents on my desk. I rubbed my forehead before closing my door and taking a seat in my chair. I had no clue how to exactly edit these documents.

As I looked through the one on top there was knock on the door. It opened a few seconds later revealing a girl who was dressed in a grey work pants and a white blouse. The unique thing about her was that she was bald. She was beautiful none-the-less  with her brown eyes and shiny skin tone.

"Hi, you must be the boss's new assistant, I'm Deidra".

"Vanessa", I say whilst shaking her hand. She seemed friendly but then again you can never trust people too soon. They can be sheep in wolf's clothing. They might even want something from you.

"So, since you're new here I thought I might drop by and give you some pointers. The boss's last assistant wasn't very good at her job and he fired her a few weeks after".

I gave her a look of bewilderment before going back to my chair.

"Do you know what he means by editing and sorting through these documents?", I asked as she came over to my side.

"It means you'll have to go through them and either stamp, correct grammar errors or even go to meetings to seal deals. Being a personal assistant comes with more duties than a regular assistant", she says as I nod and wondered when I will be finished with these.

"So, I'll leave you to work and if you need anything my office is on the floor below this. Oh, and if you want to have lunch with us girls,  you're always welcome".

"Thank you", I say as she nod before leaving. She was definitely a sweet soul.

I started going through the documents ensuring to read carefully hoping there wasn't any errors. If there was one I will have to type it over which was the only logical way I could come up with. They were mainly about shippings or collaborations.

This was going to be the most stressful job I've ever done...well aside from my past.

I spent the next half an hour just reading through and found two documents that will have to be typed over. I stamped a few of them and stacked them neatly on the other side of my desk. I looked at the clock and saw that it was twelve so I guessed it was lunch time.

The door opened and Mordechai stood there before gesturing for me to follow him. He walked away as I got up and left the office after taking up my small purse. He was walking really fast but since I didn't want to be close to him it worked out just fine for me.

After he pressed the elevator button for the bottom floor I stood in the corner with my hands crossed over my chest. I glanced at him and surprisingly he wasn't on his phone. Instead his hands were in his pocket as he looked straight ahead as if deep in thought.

Probably thinking of  a million tasks to give me.

The elevator came to a halt and I followed him out. He went down a hall before going down some stairs. I waited for a while before putting one feet after the other as I followed him. Where do these stairs lead to?

I got my answer when I reached the last step and was greeted with a few different cars. I saw him seated in a black Toyota and I walked up to the car before entering the back. The shutters came to a lift as he pulled out of the garage.

I kept quiet as I wondered where he was driving to. He started unbottoning his jacket and then after a few seconds he took it off. I turn my head the other way to look out the window.

"Are you half way through the paper work as yet?".

"Not as yet...I'll get them done as soon as possible", I replied in a bored tone before going back to staring out the window.

The car came to a slow pace a few seconds later as he pulled up at a restaurant. Not just any restaurant, a very expensive one from the looks of it. I wasn't planning on spending too much money for simply lunch.

"Take my jacket and follow me", he said before exiting the car. I groaned before copying his actions and taking up the jacket. Why did he remove it in the first place?!.

The inside was everything luxury could be. He took a seat at the window and I sat in a chair the opposite side of him. I fold the jacket before placing it on my lap. I looked at the menu and the only thing I saw that was both cheap and could full my stomach was shrimp alfredo.

"Hello, I'll be your waitress for today what may I get you?".

Mordechai ordered his lunch which consisted of a heavy meal. I told her my order and she wrote it down before walking away. I played with my fingers as I kept staring out the window. He had taken out his phone and started typing away.

"Vanessa?".

I glanced behind me and saw Reid of all people sitting having lunch. He had this smirk on his face as he stood up as if he was coming over to my side. I turned around and prayed he wasn't.

But when does prayer ever work like that?

I noticed how Mordechai had put his phone down and was just staring at me. I heard the sound of a chair being moved and before I could blink Reid had pushed it beside me and sat down. I felt some sort of weird feeling and I was confused as to why. He glanced over at Mordechai who was looking back and forth between us with intense eyes.

"I'm not interested Reid so could you just leave me alone for good?", I say but he only smiled. He was definitely sick.

"I like you vanessa, from the first day I saw you -

I cut him off by placing my hand over his mouth.

"I don't care if you like me or not - I'm not interested in dating and even if I was I wouldn't date you. So please go away and don't speak to me again".

His face got serious and he looked at me for a while longer before getting up and pulling away the chair. The waitress bought is our food but neither of us touched it instantly.

"Did you know it was unprofessional to behave that way in front of your boss?".

"I have no clue as to what you mean. I'm sure you saw everything play out and as to why I had to put him in his place", I replied before I started eating.

It's like everything I do around him is a problem. I mentally sighed as I continued to eat ignoring his face and eyes in the process.

>>>>

It has been four hours since we came back from lunch and I had finished all the paperwork. It was after five and it was time for me to leave. I took up my purse and then the documents and left the office. I knocked on his door but I heard no answer so I opened it. He was absent so I placed the files on his desk and left.

Once I left the building I made my way to the cab stand. My fingers were a bit sore from the typing and skipping through pages. I hailed a cab that was coming my way and entered the back. I laid my head on the door as he drove off.

It was almost dark when he pulled up at the house. I paid him and started to walk across the lawn when I felt like someone was watching me. I hurriedly opened the door and locked it before turning on a few lights to illuminate the place.

I went to my room and locked the door before starting to strip my clothes. I needed a long bath and some good rest.

Is someone really watching my precious vanessa? And if so, who could it be?

Let me know your thoughts.
