The Boss Everyone Wants

Dinner

William's POV.

"I called Emily, to come to my office."

(She entered my office after knocking on the door): Good evening sir, how can I help you? (With a perfect smile)

(Her beautiful smile made my day better, but I have to be professional, I show no emotions):  Do you like your position so far?

Emily (moving her hair while she walked to the window that shows the back of the dress and then flipped it back): I love it, Mister William.

(I froze. Hearing her saying my name, made me wonder what the hell I was doing my entire life without her, I even forget why I called her): Do you know how to make coffee?

Emily (shaking her head): actually I don't. I can try if you want.

"While I'm taking her to the coffee machine, my hand tingled, I looked down at my hand, seeing hers holding onto it. I wanted to curl my fingers around it but I didn't. I didn't do anything; I didn't even move her hand or pull mine away."

Emily (with fast breathing): can you slow down sir?

(Stopped eventually and cleared my throat) sorry, I didn't mean to walk that fast.

Emily (nodded her head then glared at me): I couldn't keep it up with you while wearing these heels. (Pointing at her seven inches heels)

(I couldn't help but let a laugh pass through my lips)

Emily (looking like a fierce cat, standing up to its owner but couldn't get her anger across due to how cute she was): There is nothing to laugh at sir.

(I reached my hand out of my pocket and held her shoulder) sorry for walking fast and sorry for the laugh. (Whispering don't want others to hear me apologizing)

"Emily nodded her head and smiled at me, this smile made me want to ask her to date me, but I held myself every time she smiles."

"I watched her while she was making coffee. I forget all about coffee and stare at her face, she is incredible. The last assistant I had was an old lady with a mustache.

(Leaned on the coffee machine and stared at her) There is something about you Emily.

Emily (raised the left eyebrow): What do you mean, sir?

(Holding an empty cup in my hands) I don't know, I used to see you raising the other eyebrow. That's it.

Emily (stopped what she was doing) what? Is there a wrong with my eyebrow?

(Blushing and shook my head) No, both of them are perfect. Fill the cup for me, please. I have a business to run, lady.

"She continues making coffee in silent. We both were silent the whole process."

"I took the cup of coffee from her, heading to my office."

"I moved my seat to the window to enjoy the coffee with the view. After taking a sip of the coffee, I spit it all over the window, it's the worst coffee I ever had, but who cares."

"I make few calls to get the offer of having that company; this company is for sale because the owner of it couldn't know how to run it and how to solve problems. I can make a fortune buying it. The problem is that this company is not in this city, I have to use my jet to attend board meetings there.

"It's 4:00 p.m. I have to meet my buddy Jamie in my place soon. I went out of my office to say goodbye to Emily before leaving."

(Leaning on the frame of my office's door) Hi Emily

Emily: (rolled her eyes at me and pushed the papers shes working on away from her): Hi, Mister William, how can I help you.

(Smiling lovingly at her)  How was your day? You look stressed!

Emily: (Sighed) No. I'm good. It was great day.

Nice, have you enjoyed it so far?

Emily (nodded her head and smiled wildly at me) I did, thanks again for this opportunity.  This job will help me pay my rent and my bills. I really appreciate choosing me, sir.

(Glaring directed towards her) First off, stop calling me sir, William will be fine, second thing, you don't have any money?

Emily (her eyes widened): No, no I didn't mean it in that way.

(Taking few steps toward her) How much do you have at the moment?

Emily (staring at the floor): I have enough, sir.

(Touching her chin with my index to meet my eyes with hers) Emily! Don't lie; I'm going to ask one more time. How much money do you have at the moment?

Emily: Including bank savings, 3.50.

(Staring at her blankly) What did you eat today?

Emily (Stepping back trying to avoid this conversation); Sir, you are embarrassing me; I don't want to answer this question If you don't mind?

(Using a serious tone) I mind, answer me now or I will get upset.

Emily (avoiding my gaze): I didn't eat anything sir.

How did you come to the company this morning?

Emily (pretending like she's cleaning her disk): Please sir, can you please stop?

(Taking her hand away from what she's doing) No, I'm not going to stop. you are working in my company and I have to take care of you, answer the damn question.

Emily (freeing her hands gently from mine): I walked.

How long was the distance?

Emily (staring at the window trying to find the street that she used this morning): It was 30 minutes of walking; I don't really know the distance.

I'm so mad at you at the moment, (taking some cash out of his wallet) Here is five hundred dollars for now.

Emily (stepping back few steps): No sir, I can't accept that, please.

This is not a charity, Emily, it's a Down payment of your salary, pay your rent and the bills and don't forget to eat something when you leave.

Emily (taking the money and fold them in a shy): Okay, thanks.

(using my index to motion to the ground floor) There's a cafeteria in the ground floor, have your lunch there, don't pay. Use a taxi when you leave okay.

Emily: Okay sir, thanks.

"I left the company. Heading to my place to meet Jamie.  While driving he called me."

(Using my shoulder to talk to him, trying to light a cigarette using two hands)Hey Jamie, I know I'm late I had an urgent situation in my office.

Jamie: I'm not in the mood to meet at your place, meet me at the same restaurant.

Okay then, see you there. (Ending the call)

"I arrived to the restaurant, Jamie hasn't arrived yet, I turn the relaxing mode using the dash screen which automatically starts the massaging seats function and turns on some jazz with all windows closed. I leaned my back and closed my eyes. Meanwhile Jamie arrives. I pretended to  be asleep.He knocked on the window; I acted like I'm not hearing him.

I forgot to unlock the doors, he opened mine and slapped me on my chest. As hard as he could, I acted as if I'm waking up and he surprised me."

Jamie (pushing his fist against my chest): I know that you were acting bastard. How about we go to Emily's address to check where she lives. It's been awhile since we stalked women.

(Pushing his hand away) Take your fist off of me, you maniac. This's a bad idea; it always ends in the police station.

Jamie (indexing to the city area): You should chase her to know where she is staying.

(Start walking toward the restaurant) I'm going to chase my dinner because I'm starving.

"Later at the restaurant."

(Playing with my food with the fork, don't have the apatite to eat) Tell me about your day?

Jamie (cutting up a peace of his steak): I bought a yacht this morning maybe we can use it this weekend, what do you think?

(Shrugging my shoulders, staring at the time on my phone) Not this weekend Jamie, I'm traveling to buy a company.

Jamie (picking up his fork and grinned): Can I come with you?

(Inwardly groaned) No, you can't. I lost a good deal because of you, that day.

"I give Jamie some fake excuses to leave. I decide to go get Emily's details from my office. I entered the company and went to my office to find out that she is still working.

(Asking with a hint of shocked) Emily!

Emily: (freaks out) I couldn't leave before finishing my work, sir.

It's 11:00 p.m. you know that right?

Emily (using her phone to check the time): It's really late, I didn't notice that.

(Motioning for her to come with me) I'm taking you home.

Emily (glanced over at me before smiling) I can take a taxi; I don't want to bother you, sir.

This is an order.

(Walking towered me) Okay, Mister William.

Don't say mister anymore. I told you before, I'm I?

Emily (nodding her head): Okay, Mister William.

(Smirking) Are you for real?

Emily: (she looked up and smiled weakly at me, embarrassment was all she felt at the moment) I'm sorry sir; I'm not going to say mister anymore.

Have you eaten? And don't lie.

Emily (touching her Billy): No, not yet.

(Started the engine, and drove the car) We're going to have dinner before taking you home. Don't you dare to say no this time. (With furies eyes)

(Emily had a horrified expression on her confuse face at my invitation. She tightened her lips with a smile.)

"We head to a near restaurant, it's a French one. When she saw the restaurant she opened her mouth wide of shock. I entered and she hurried after me walking into the table that I usually sit on."

I usually ask for an English waiter speaker in this restaurant.  And you said before that you speak French very well.

"She spoke with the waiter in French; she ordered two main dishes with drinks and sweets."

(Impressed) So you speak French very well, I thought that was a lie.

(She frowned and glare at me)  I have never lied about what qualifications I have, William.

(Grinned and give her a side look) You forget to say mister this time.

Emily: (Using her careless face) I know and I don't care.

(Wiping my lips because of the juicy meal)  Tell me about your first job? Why did you quit? (Asking innocently)

Emily (swallows the bite before answering): I didn't quit. I got fired because being late for two minutes.

(My jaw had been clenched and my eyes narrowed) Really!! (A vine stood out in my nick, throbbing) tomorrow you will take me to that place and I will kill who fired you.

Emily (raised her eyebrow at me): It's not a big deal. I hated that job. How did you start this business if you don't me asking?

(I shook my head) I don't mind. I started this business since I was twenty.

Emily (staring straight at my eyes): How old are you now?

(Leaning back at my chair and take a sip of my wine) twenty nine. Why?

Emily (she grabbed a hold of her glass and gripped it tightly): I'm just getting to know who my boss is, that's it. (Giving me a fake smile)

"She was so quite while she was eating, even when she uses the fork, I couldn't hear the fork scraping on the bottom of the plate. Her movements were soft and graceful almost as if she had practiced them her entire life."

"Her eyes didn't meet mine, she look down at her plate or here eyes were directed to the wall opposite of her. Every movement of her is a moment stilled. I really don't want this evening to end but my bad headache gets started and I have to leave before things went south."

"Emily finished whatever was lest in her plate and placed down her utensils."

Emily (smiled in amusement): Can we leave now?

(I raised my hand to the waiter for the bill) of curse.

Emily (snatching her purse from her bag) Please let me pay, the least I can do, after what you've done to me.

(Scoffed from across the table, stood up and placed my palm flat on the table and stared at her intently) The bill is more than 500 dollars Emily, you sure you want to pay?

Emily (gasped and glared at me with widened eyes): are you sure about that?

(Putting her purse back in her bag) I'm positive; meet me in the car till I pay the bill. (Handing her the key of my car)

"After we arrived to her place, I stopped her before leaving my car"

I liked what you did today. There is something about you that belong in the business world. I admire your calmness.

Emily (lightening a smile): So I've been told.

(My heart fluttered in my chest with what she said) I'll walk you home.

Emily (unknowingly, she placed her hand on the top of my hand) no need, you had a busy day. And I'm sure you're tired.

(Leaving my seat in the car) a short walk won't kill me.

"After walking with her to her door I drove back to my house. I parked my car and used the stairs, the butler opens the door."

The butler (opening the main door for me): Good evening, Mister William. Do you want me to tell the Chef you arrived?

I had dinner out, Chandler, I just want a glass of whisky, send it to my office.

Chandler (closing the door behind me): Okay sir.

I take the elevator to my office. I sit on the sofa and turn the TV to check my shares on New York Stock Exchange.

Chandler (knocks on the door, carrying a glass of whisky with two ice cubes as usual) Can I say something, sir?

What is it?
Chandler (with a worry look) you don't look well, can I ask about the reason?
No you can't.
Chandler (stepping backward) Sorry for bothering you sir. (Leaving the office)



Next morning, I took some pills for my headache; I couldn't drive to my company so I let my driver to take me there. The headache is getting worse. Hope I don't see Emily today because I will insult her involuntarily.
