0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart novel Chapter 14

As I opened the door my eyes landed straight on his angry ones.

I gulped and he started coming straight to business

"Start with photocopying these documents. Once done take this file and get it typed without a single typo error...complete this and come back in 1 hour..."

"Oh sorry 40 minutes...you already wasted 20 minutes coming upstairs"

I picked up the file and the first thing I decided to see was the last page..

200 pages

Oh god typing it in 40 minutes was next to impossible...

"You will find the laptop and photocopy machine in the room to your right ...get started.."

Without further adieu I started my task....

It was a thermal printer but that's the only thing I knew about it.

I placed the a4 size sheets in a bucket to it's side and tried to pick it's top

But the problem being that there was no top ...

I circumcircled the machine trying to find the scanning screen but I couldn't find any....

10 minutes already passed...

My room was separated from his just by a glass wall...but the problem being I couldn't see him while he could see me.

If he sees that I don't even know how to photocopy some papers...he will definitely embarrass me....

Instead of wasting more time on it I decided to do the other task...typing

40 minutes later.....

I had just typed 8 pages...just 8

And my fingers were already ready to break off...

Don't judge me...I don't use computer much...I couldn't even find some of the letters....so you know where most of the time went.

My time was up and he entered

"Miss brown ...I hope you have at least photocopied till now?

"..eh....Andr-.."

"It's Sir for you Miss Brown...I don't think you are neither in a position nor status to call me by my pet name"

"Ye..s .."

"No...I mean no Sir..."

"Actually......you see this machine...is very different....from the .....earlier...one..."

"Do I look look like I have time to listen to you bullsh** miss Brown...you completed your work or no?"

"...no...Sir...I haven't..."

He approached the Photostat machine and first turned on the power switch which I completely forgot....

Next he pressed a button and the top opened up....

What the hell!!

Was there a top cover...why didn't I see it..

He smirked at my shocked face and I felt my cheeks redden with embarrassment.

I wanted to become a rabbit and dig a deep hole now..

"How many pages have you typed....?"

"...I am almost ..halfway...."

I seriously wanted to laugh at my lie...in reality I was not even at the half of the half of the half...ie...100..50...25...12...whatever...

"Oh really miss Brown.."

"Yes Sir"

I said trying to lie with confidence

He moved towards the laptop but I blocked his view...

I'll complete it in an hour sir...."

"You better or else you are not leaving this building till I get an email of the file.."

He was gone and my face lost all it's colour...

Few hours later

9:10 ....pm
