Lover of a Bosslady

Chapter three

Matthew's POV

       I'm quite surprised about this woman's attitude. To be honest, she is beautiful. She had wonderful brown eyes, a glowing skin and a dazzling style. I could figure her favourite colour is black,I mean she was all dressed in black. While walking through the hallways I hear Love the lady I later knew to be her Secretary and some other ladies gossiping about her constantly, referring to her as The Bosslady. They stopped talking when they noticed my presence and I greeted them and walked hurriedly to the reception area. I kept thinking about the whole thing that happened at the board room that I didn't realise Love had been calling me.

     "Excuse me sir, can you hear me?" Love asks me. "Oh yeah...I mean I'm sorry I can hear you" I reply picking on my words.

      "This is your employment letter. You are to resume by 7:30am on Monday. The Bosslady doesn't tolerate lateness" Love explains.

     "Thanks. I have a question please if you don't mind" I say calmly

     "Yes go on" she replies sweetly. "Well I was wondering why you call Miss Karen the bosslady" I said shrugging. "I can see you are quite inquisitive " she states flatly and walk away. I stood there dumbfounded.  Does everyone just have to be rude? I only asked a question. I think in my head. I arranged my files neatly in my briefcase and head out.

     I checked my watch and it read 12:30pm. I was hungry. I couldn't finish my breakfast. I checked around for a nearby restaurant to eat. Then I saw a canteen that read "Vent's kitchen". I walked into the canteen and ordered Rolled Spaghetti, that was my favourite meal. I was about to start eating when a familiar voice asked "Can I join you?" I looked up to see Mr Patrick holding a plate of Rice and chicken. "Sure, you can." I reply smiling widely.

    "Mr Patrick, if you don't mind I want to ask some questions about the company" I say with my mouth full of rolled spag.

     "Yes go on" he says wondering what my questions would be.

     "Well....I didn't understand what you meant when you said I would get used to how things are run in the company " I say hoping he wouldn't act like Love.

     "You would know what I mean when you begin your job" he replys after laughing for what seemed like forever.

      "Ok" I reply completely unsatisfied with his reply but let it slide anyways. I checked the time and realised it was time for me to head home. I thank Mr Patrick and pay the waitress and look out for a bus to go home.

When I got home, the house was silent and I couldn't help but wonder if everything was ok. I begin to feel anxious as I checked everywhere for my sister and my mother that I almost forgot that my sister obviously went to school since it was a weekday and she was in high school. I called my mum but didn't get any response. I began to panic and hastily went out to ask our neighbour if they had seen my mum anywhere when someone tapped me and I almost screamed only to realise it was my mum.

"Mom" I said in a whisper while trying to catch my breath.

"Are you Ok?" Mum asks wondering why I screamed.

"Mom, I have been looking for you everywhere that I almost began to think that maybe probably something ha....." I kept ranting only to be stopped my mother.

"But you found me already" she says smiling widely.

"Yh actually "I said almost laughing.

"Now come tell me about your interview, were you chosen?" She asks with some hope in her eyes.

"Yes mom" I reply her and she begins to squeal in excitement.  I couldn't blame her. Ever since my dad died, she had been the only one taking care of me and my sister with the little money she got from her laundry business. Since I got a well paid job now, I would be able to join in the payment of the expense in the house and we will live a better life. At that very moment, I felt fulfilled.

"Alright. I already something for you to eat. Now come on,let's eat" she throws her hands up in the hair.

"Yes mom" I smile kissing her forehead.

"Mom! Matthew! I'm home" I groan from my sleep as I hear Angela call from the sitting room.

"Can't you be any quiet?" I ask her while helping her get inside with her bags. I mean she had stuffs in her bag pack that made it so heavy.

"Well, you can't expect the VIP to be quiet right" she smirks.

"Oh whatever girl" I state laying emphasis on girl. I knew how much she hated to be called a girl. I received a death glare immediately from her and I raise my hands to say I did nothing. But she ignores me and walk into her room. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Karen's POV

   I sigh deeply as I unlock the door to my house and sank into the nearest cushion. My phone begins to ring and I check the name written boldly on the screen Aunt Pedigree. "Hello" Aunt Pedigree says through the phone when I pick the call.

"Aunt Pedigree, I am so sorry I haven't been able to check on you. How are you doing? How about the children? " I reply trying to sound cool.

"We are all good Karen. I called just to hear your voice and to know how you are doing. Karen I....."

"I'm alright aunt. I will come over to the orphanage very soon. I have been quite busy" I quickly say to end whatever it was she wanted to say.

"Ok dear. We have a lot to catch on then" she says after a deep breath.

"I'll talk to you later yeah?" I say before ending the call.

"Bless you Karen" she replies and end the call.

I walk over to my room and change into comfortable clothes and head to the Kitchen to get something to eat. I didn't really like cooking so I just poured myself some cereals and ate. I was really tired so after eating, I simply went to bed to sleep.
