Ashley"s face suddenly saddened, and it shows in her eyes. When Sato saw this, he became weary and pulled a chair and offer it to her to sit down. "Come here! Tell this sister, what"s the problem and why you don"t want to be with your dear hubby?"
As she was about to sit down, the door at Tanaga"s office burst open, and he came out shouting. "Miss Gusman!!!"
Ashley, who was about to sit down, almost fell right on the floor. She was startled when she heard Tanaga shouting so loud it sounded like a rumble of thunder.
"Sir Jone!" She shouted back at him as she quickly ran out of the Sato"s office.
Tanaga saw her coming out of the head secretaries office, and it did not bode well with him. He once again snarled at Ashley. "What in the world are you doing at my head secretaries office? Are you forgetting that you"re my a.s.sistant, and you"re supposed to be a.s.sisting me and not chit-chatting with my head secretaries? Come inside my office now!" He then closed the door with a bang without giving her a chance to refute.
Ashley was confused and couldn"t understand the way Tanaga was always shouting, and it seems like he"s mad at the whole world. She was stunned that she couldn"t move from where she was standing.
Sato saw all this and felt sorry for her. To make her feel better, he whispered...
"Go! It"s normal, don"t worry, he"s always been like that, even before with the other a.s.sistant. That"s why no one lasts longer than a day or two." He jokingly told her to make her feel better.
"Are you sure? Alright then, let me go ahead and see what he wants before I get sacked on my very first day at work." She jokingly replied, showing she felt much better.
Sato made a sign, "Fighting!" Before he pushed her to go and see what the big bad wolf wanted.
"Thanks!" She said as she slowly sauntered towards Tanaga"s office. However, she"s in no hurry to get there at all. She doesn"t care if Tanaga was waiting for her, either. While on the way, she was in deep thought... "Alright! It"s true that here I"m only your a.s.sistant and you could shout at me and boss me around. However, let me see what happens when we get home, and you wanted to sleep with me... I don"t care if you kneel and beg me, I would not let you lay with me. Over my s.e.xy body!
With the determination, Ashley opened the door to his office. She didn"t even bother knocking at the door since he told her to get her tiny b.u.t.t over there. Once inside, she stood right in front of Tanaga"s desk and announced herself. "You want me, sir Jones? What can I do for you?" She asked with a smile as if he had never yelled at her not long ago.
Tanaga was busy reading doc.u.ments when she arrived. He didn"t lift his head and looked at her direction. Therefore, she didn"t know what she should do. Ashley decided to stand still in front of his desk and wait for his order.
A couple of minutes pa.s.sed since she stood in front of his desk without him realizing she"s there. She wonders if that"s how he is when he"s at work. That"s how Tanaga is when he"s at work, you can barely speak to him, and when he does say anything. He"s always shouting, that"s why all of his a.s.sistants couldn"t last a day or two at the most. The worst of it all, 99.9 % of them get fired before the end of the day.
That last a.s.sistant that he had gone home crying while cursing him as she left. The only reason she was fired was due to the incorrect way she had made his coffee. He had yelled at the a.s.sistant first, before firing her in the end. All because... She prepared and given him the wrong coffee...
*Flip-flip-flip* Was all the noise that could be heard inside the office. Even though the air-conditioning was in full blast, she was sweating bullets. After a while, she was bored to death, and she feels cramped in her legs and feet from standing still for a while now.
When she feels that he wasn"t going to offer or tell her to sit down first... She decided on her own to asked if she could sit down while she was waiting for his order. When...she finally heard him speak only to give her a request.
"Can you make me coffee, black with one teaspoon of sugar." Was all he said without looking at her or saying please. He only continued reading immensely. *flip-flip-flip* As he continued reading.
She looked at the time and saw that it was almost five o clock in the afternoon. She shook her head, and before she acknowledges his order, her brows creased. "Only coffee, sir? What about a sandwich?" She asked while still standing without planning on moving until he responded.
He waved his right hand, still not bothering to look at Ashley at all. He then..."Do whatever you want! Make sure to bring coffee first." He finished saying.
"Oh" my G.o.d! Is this how workaholic this person is? Wow! I think I have made a mistake in working for him. He didn"t even bother looking at me while giving me an order. He knows it"s my first day here, and I"m not sure of what I"m supposed to be doing... What a jerk!" She mumbles as she started to leave. She was almost at the door when he heard Tanaga"s voice once again.
"Love... Forget the coffee, it"s late already, and I haven"t eaten lunch yet." No sooner he said it, his stomach made noise and growled. He caresses his stomach first before he got up from his chair and took his suit jacket. He quickly put it on and prepared to leave.
She was about to walk out of the door when she heard what he said, and she stopped. "Did I hear it, right? He just called me love? Am I losing it or what?" Ashley quickly turned to while standing by the door.
"Did you just said you don"t want coffee any longer? How about the sandwich, didn"t you say you"re hungry?" She asked with a wide eye still couldn"t believe that he suddenly turned sweet and loving towards her. She"s about to go nuts trying to figure out her husband.
One minute he"s hot, then cold in the next. A little while ago, he was screaming on the top of his lungs, and now he"s calling her love? What the heck is going on with this nut job? "h.e.l.loooo!" She mumbles to herself.
"Forget the sandwich; let"s call it a day. I"m hungry! How about we go and have dinner at one of the nearby restaurants." Was all his reply while he began walking towards her. Once he arrives in front of her, he took her hands and left together hand and hand...
