A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

**BRIANNA**

I sighed immediately I read the short note. I thought I could pull it off coming to work late without him knowing but turns out I couldn’t. I walked out of my office breathing in and out nervously and stopped right in front his office. I knocked on the door and I heard his deep voice tell me to come in. I breathed in and out to calm my nerves before opening the door and stepping into the office.

When I entered the office my jaw dropped. The office was simply beautiful and unique. Mr Adrian was sitting on a black leather turning chair and in front of it is a large brown modern mahogany desk, two turning chairs are in front of the desk. I looked around again and there were two bookshelves filled with books situated on both sides of Mr Adrian’s chair. The office is painted in brown and cream color making it look amazing. At the far end of the room were two black leather couches–one-seater and two-seater. A small coffee table is in front of the couches. My eyes trailed back to Mr Adrian, he was putting on a black suit with a blue shirt underneath. The top three buttons of the shirt was opened and it gave me a small but good view of his chest. I heard Mr Adrian clear his throat and I snapped out of the daze I was in. I felt my cheeks warm up in embarrassment when I realized I was checking him out.

“Like what you see?” He asked with a smug expression on his face. I felt myself blushing more because he knew I was checking him out.

“No I don’t. What’s there to see anyway.” I replied as if I haven’t been checking him out a few seconds ago. He looked offended but he seemed to wave it off.

“That is not a way to greet your boss you know.” He stated.

“Good morning Mr Adrian. I saw a note in my office that said I should come to your office immediately I sign in.” I responded politely.

“Yes! That reminds me why are you just coming? You ought to have resumed since 8. a. m but here you are just coming. Do you wish to lose your job that early?” He asked.

“No sir I’m sorry for coming late. It won’t repeat itself anymore.” I replied.

“Just know that if it repeats itself again you’re gonna lose your job.” He said.

“OK sir.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Where’s my morning coffee?” He questioned.

“What morning coffee?” I questioned back.

“Wasn’t it stated in the schedule given to you that you’ll bring me coffee every morning?” He asked. Ha! I forgot I was even given a schedule to through yesterday that I’ll even know about bringing him coffee every morning.

“Don’t worry about that sir I’ll go get the coffee right away and it’ll be here in no time.” I replied and with that I walked out of the office without waiting to hear a word from him because I was almost sure the next word he’s gonna say is gonna be a threat about losing my job. I stopped walking for a bit when I realized I didn’t know where I’ll get the coffee. I shrugged and continued walking when I could just ask the receptionist where to get it.

I walked in short quick strides towards the elevator. I got there, pressed a button and waited for some seconds for it to get here. When it got to the floor I am the door slid open and I stepped into it. The door slid close and I pressed the button for the first floor. Within a few minutes the elevator got to the first floor and the door slid open and I stepped out of it. I walked towards the reception desk where Miss Kristen was doing something on her computer.

“Hey Miss Kristen.” I called to get her attention.

She raised her head from the computer and replied,”Hi Miss Brianna.”

“Can you please tell me where the boss gets his coffee?” I asked.

“Oh he gets it at the cafe at the other side of the road.” She stated.

“Thanks.” I replied. I strode to the exit of the company and walked out of the building.

I got to the front of the building where the road was and I crossed over to the other side of the road where the cafe was situated. The name of the cafe ‘TATIANA’S CAFE’ was boldly written in italics on a piece of wood. When I opened the door of the cafe and stepped in a bell chimed at the top of the door signifying that someone came in. The outside view of the cafe wasn’t that good but the inside view was breathtaking and it had a homey feeling to it. Cafe tables adorn the sun-kissed grey as if placed there at the tip of an artists brush. The ambiance of the cafe, its homey aroma, draws my soul into its cocoon for a few blessed moments. The cafe in such honeyed hues brings a sweetness to the day, coaxing an inner smile that warms from within. The cafe tables in their rich deep browns, the aroma with its dark aromatic perfume, call me in from the sunny day. Soft music was playing in the background and it made me love the place more. I was lost in the beauty of the place before I remembered what I came here to do. I walked towards the counter where some foods were placed on. Foods like sandwiches, soup, salad, eggs, waffles, pancakes, pastries and desserts were on the counter which were meant for either take away or to be eaten here. A middle-aged woman with blonde hair, a few gray strands was behind the counter with a warm welcoming smile on her face.

“Hi I’m Tatiana, what would you like to have?” She asked with thick American accent dripping from her voice. It was then that I realized that I didn’t ask for the type of coffee he wanted and I decided to get him Latte I mean who doesn’t like Latte.

“I would like to have Latte please.” I replied politely. She scribbled something down on a note and passed it through the window behind her and someone who I guessed to be the barista collected it from her. Within a few minutes of waiting, the coffee was ready and I collected it and paid before walking out of the cafe. I crossed the road to the front of the building and stepped foot into it. I smiled at Miss Kristen when I got to the reception and scurried over to elevator and pressed the button waiting impatiently for it to get here. When it did I hurriedly got into it and pressed the button for the last floor where the boss’s office was located.
