Chapter 4
For two good months, my boss was still pestering me with his comments which made me uncomfortable. I’d rather think he’s a womanizer than believe he was really into me. He became a pain in the neck at work: giving me a lot of work to do and occasionally taking me on long trips so he could try to convince me. Before you say I have a choice, let me remind you that I am his personal assistant, hence, wherever he goes, I go with him. That’s what I’m paid to do.
There was a day that he almost kissed me when he intentionally got out of the car, locked it, came to my end and opened it. I thought that was all until he opened the door and came leaning in on me. Thankfully, a man he knows called his name and I was saved but that would not even qualify for a sweet pass since the man saw me and knows his wife very well. I could tell I had been tagged “the P.A side chick.”
Today was certainly not different at work, after failing to have a good sleep the previous night, I arrived at work earlier than usual hoping to have a “me time” but that did not work. About ten minutes after my entrance, my boss followed suit.
“Good morning sir” I greeted him, on my feet.
“Liz, how many times have I told you to drop these formalities?”
I didn’t say anything, I didn’t even have anything to say to further complicate myself.
“I want to have my schedules in my office sweetheart”
I nodded my head in submission as he blew me an air kiss and walked into his office. I hate this man with everything in me but I can’t quit this job. My salary is nothing to write home about yet it is what keeps me going. If I leave this work, that means returning to the village to suffer with my parents and other siblings which can never be an option. I picked up the file on my table and walked up to his office with the aim of “drop and leave” but it failed. The moment I dropped the file and made it a point to leave, he grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me close to him. This felt awkward.
“I have a boyfriend” I managed to say.
“And I have a wife” he said cunningly.
“With all due respect sir. I have tolerated your advances for far too long and I can’t condone it anymore.”
“Then accept me. Give me sugar, I give you more sugar”
This statement of his annoyed me so much that I could even break his head with my fist if I had attempted.
“I don’t like you. Imagine what you’d say if someone does this to your child.”
“It’s her life darling”
“You can’t force me too sir!” I snapped and yanked my hand from his grip. Finally, this would be all over.
******
Getting home wasn’t tough compared to the day I had earlier. For once my boss passed by my desk without giving me pet names and blowing me kisses. He just talked as expected of a boss.
Did I mention earlier that Austin and I are still seeing each other after he promised to break up with his rich girlfriend? My bad! The girl is still in the picture though and that irritates me a lot. I’ve been trying to get Austin to define this whole thing but he keeps giving excuses of how his family loves the girl so much. I asked what he truly feels for both of us last night and he unknowingly told me he loved Sarah, a lot. They had been together for four years and he can’t just waste this relationship and life just like that. Noticing my uncomfortable manner, he told me things would work out perfectly, I should just be patient.
