Boss Lady

Megan' p.o.v.

"Karen, What. Is. This? Care to tell?" I smiled sweetly but in reality I was annoyed.

"M-am uh I...I can explain-"

"Explain? What did I tell you before you joined this company. There are no second chances but if I'm in a good mood I let you go. There should never be a mistake, When I. Am. Around."

"Please M'am, one last chance, one more, I won't disappoint-" I didn't let her finish her sentence as it was wasting my precious time.

"Silence. You can pack your stuff and leave. Thank you very much for your service." In a sulking manner she slowly walked away.

"Oh and Karen?" She looked at me with hopefulness written all over her face.

"Good luck finding your new job." I took one last look at her ready-to-break-into-tears face and continued with my paperwork.

Serves her right. I thought. She didn't make my coffee perfect enough.

Suddenly feeling tired, I rubbed my temple. Being Ms perfect was hard indeed but in my life there was no space for making mistakes. I straightened my back and focused back on my work. There was a lot to be done.

Ring-ring-ring ring.

"Oh c'mon can anyone let me focus for once!"

"Hello?" I spoke in an irritated voice.

"Hey, Meg?"

I was suddenly out of breath. I tried to speak but no words came out.

"Meg, I'm back." I could imagine his pearly white grin. His boyish voice now turned into a deep silky voice like a grown man's which I could listen to all day. Just at the very moment all my girly fantasies flew away and were replaced with my senses. I fumed with rage.

"You incoherent fool, how dare you call me. You have-"

"Oh is that how you talk with your client?"

"Client my foot! I'm not dying to talk to you bastard. Get out of my life for once!"

"No, sorry I don't cancel my meetings and I think you should talk to your secretary about making my visit grand. After all I'm no ordinary client." And with that he hung up.

I screamed with all my might at that thug. How dare he call me after all these years! Who does he think he is? Son of a bitch!

My scream made the security guards come in without any of my permission.

"M'am we'll save you, don't worry!" They barged into my office while pointing their guns in every direction.

One of the fools scratched his head when he didn't find anything suspicious.

"Sorry, there's no problem you can go back to your work, I was just having my usual tantrums." I annoyingly shooed them away.

At the very moment, I called Candice, my secretary and the next second she was at my office door.

"Yes M'am?" She quickly walked towards me.

"May I know any client who's name is Ryan Hunter?"

"Yes M'am you have a meeting with him...let me check...uh yes tomorrow at 2 p.m."

"Can you do me a a favor?"

"Yes M'am."

"Cancel the meeting."

I could see she panicked a little but she hid it with a calm face.

"M'am I'm sorry to inform you but I can't do that. This is a very important meeting, one that can change our company's whole fate. This will be an upgrade for us."

She was trying very hard to convince me that this would be a great change for our business but I knew who I was going to be dealing with. A jerk.

"God. We already have everything, all the resources. A few years back, I was nothing at all and slowly I made money and studied at the same time and then founded this company when it had nothing in it. I made it gold from dirt. How much more do we need to change this company by partnering with this stupid pervert client!?"

I took a big sigh of relief after saying so much.

"Uh, M'am. The meeting it's...fixed."

"WHAT!?"

I woke up at 5:30 a.m. sharp and went jogging. After finishing all the mandatory stuff I went to the kitchen to get my brewed coffee which was perfectly set on the kitchen table.

The smell of the coffee just makes my day delightful.

When I reached at the front of my building's block, I saw someone else get out of a black Lamborghini. I suddenly felt like I was a teenager stuck in an adult's body. All the old feelings that I tried to forget stirred back in me.

After all these years, why did he show up. After making a fool out of me. Was he planning to embarrass me again?

Ignoring all the questions in my mind, I raised my chin high and went straight inside my office.

I sat peacefully in my seat and was reading some documents and taking small sips of my coffee at the same time which was made by my secretary.

"You didn't change at all." His face was plastered with a cocky grin as he leaned at my office door.

I started coughing at his sudden appearance.

"WHAT...ARE...YOU...DOING...HERE?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just like old times. You forget very easily princess. I am your client for today."

"I. KNOW. What I mean to say is what are you doing here so early in the morning?" I fritter my teeth. His presence was annoying the hell out of me.

"Oh, can't a man spend some quality time with his ex?"

"Ha, ex? You were dead for me a long time ago."

"Ouch that hurts."

I ignored his remarks and continued my work leaving him completely unattended.

"Ya know, If you want, we can clear all the misunderstandings we had before."

At that pure second, I wanted to scream at him that it's too late but I couldn't pluck the courage.

Sighing, I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"Ryan, what do you want after all these years? Why come back and wake the memories that were buried deep in the darkest parts of our minds? You still don't make any sense."

"Ha, guess we do have something in common. We never changed."

I knew he made that remark because of the last sentence I said. He never had made sense.

"Well at least we both can agree on something you said for once."

"Yes, totally."

After our second encounter, he left. Hopefully it's going to be our last.

It was midnight already when I reached my mansion. I took of my glossy heels, changed into my PJs and cuddled in my bed. As I turned the TV on, I saw something shocking appear on the news.

"Ryan Hunter, CEO of the Douglas company is engaged with super model, Collin Brown's daughter, Lilian Brown. The couple make a-"

"What did I just here?" I whispered to myself. I was utterly shocked. It was as if somebody put me in a bad dream. I don't know what I was feeling but I really wanted to get rid of it.
