Flower on the ash

I reached the company and entered the president's cabin. There I saw president's chair empty. "He must have not arrived by now ." I thought to myself .

The joined cabin at this floor was for his assistant and now it belongs to me . The walls was made up of glass and indeed I can see what's going outside from the president's cabin . I can also see my cabin from president cabin's glass . I walked up to my cabin . It was neat and well maintained . But indeed I can't see the president from my cabin from where he can see me . I sat on my chair and rotated it as it got wheels down there. It feels so good like this . I closed my eyes and release a bid sigh . " God knows what's waiting ahead of me " .

I was deep in my thoughts when suddenly the telephone in my cabin rings .

" Hello. "

"Come to my office . Now. " the voice said from the other end. It was President's voice . "Why can't he just call me from his office by calling my name loudly ?"I questioned to myself. Oh . His office must be sound-proof . How silly of me . Rich people!!

I got up and and entered his cabin . He was looking dashing like always.

" This is my schedule for today . Learn it and remind me for work according to it . You will take care of it in future . After that , in noon go to the finance department and from the manager bring records from past ten years . Analyze it and make a data of it . " he said in a flat tone . I took his schedule from his hand .

"Hello."the receptionist said .

"Hello. I'm Annabell , president's assistant . "May I know on which floor finance department is ?"I asked her.

" Oh. It's on the 13th floor . I will email you the company's format later. "She said politely.

"Ok. Thank you . "

"Welcome."

We ended our conversation and I rushed to the finance department by taking president elevator and pressed 13th floor button .

When I reached the 13th floor the elevator door opened and I stepped outside it.

This floor was not as beautiful as President's floor but still well-organised and amazing . I walked ahead and to the Manager's cabin . I knocked at the door .

"Come in ." came a sweet voice from side.

I opened the door and walked inside . A woman of almost my age was sitting and was doing something on her computer . When I entered , her eyes left her computer and met mine .

"You are~"the lady asked with a questionable face and I realised that I haven't introduced myself yet.

"I'm sorry. My name is Annabell Evans . President's new assistant. " I said politely extending my hand for handshake.

" Oh . I'm Penelope Smith . "she said and stood up from her seat and accepted my handshake .

"Please have a seat . "she said and I took one in front of her.

" I wanted last ten years finance record . "I said about the work for which I came here .

"Okay. Just a minute ." she said and dialed someone from the office telephone .

"Mia , I want finance record from last ten years in my office immediately. " she said to the person on the other end of the call and put the telephone on end .

"Just wait for a few minutes . It will be here by then . "she said to me smiling . I also returned her smile with a smile . After some more minutes of silence the office door opened and a woman with some files came in.

"That will be all. Thank you . " I said to them .

"Welcome. It was nice to meet you . " she said back and the woman who just came with files left with a bow.

"Hope we meet gain . " she said and I walked out of the finance department with a smile. "Hope I will make some friends in office." I thought to myself .

I came back to my office and put the files on the table . The President's cabin was still empty . Their was a lunchbox on my table and a note . I opened the note and read :

Don't forget to eat lunch. Something came up so I left. I will be back after few hours .

President.

.

So he came when I was at the finance department. I opened the lunchbox . There was a ham sandwich , chips and cold-coffee. I enjoyed my first meal in the office . After meal I sat back to work and started analysing and making data from the finance record that I brought from Ms. Smith .
