"W-wait, I have some questions." Of course she does.
I nodded for her to continue.
"Why m-me? I mean I-I"
"Obviously you would ask that. You need to know that you are now the part of the Heznayas. That you are the CEO's wi-....and that you are related to the CEO now" I paused "So you need to be related to the business world as well."
"Yeah I get that but I don't have any experience."
"Yeah I know you don't as you have not worked for even a dime before, but times and situations have changed so experience or not you will have to work"
She opened her mouth to say something but closed it and looked down. Her long black hair shielding her face like a curtain.
I explained "You will be treated like any other employee, will be payed like every other employee, and act like every other employee.
She looked up and said, "My attire?"
"Yeah, Well, they are downstairs, I ordered the office attire for you. But. I won't always be buying them for you. Use your own damn money."
She mumbled a quiet 'thank you'. I just nodded.
As I begin to walk off, I remembered something.
I turned around and saw her sitting down with her head in her hands. She saw me and stood up.
Shaking my head I said, "Rule 6: Nobody and I mean absolutely No-fucking-body, should know about our situation, you tell someone and you are fired.....or worse"
"Okay"
"Rule 7: You will address me as Sir or Mr. Kezr, Understand?"
"Yes sir" Oh! Look at that, already in action.
"Tomorrow I will take you to the office, as you don't know the directions and I would like for you to be there early. But, after that, You will take a bus or a cab to the office."
She just nodded and said,"Yes"
I thought she would protest against it but she said yes.
"Be ready by 8 tomorrow." And with that I left her room.
Tomorrow's gonna be long ass day.
I was having a dreamless sleep when I felt someone shaking me by my shoulder. Startled, I woke up and looked around.
Are there burglars here? Should I scream for Kezr?.
Yeah like he would help. He would purposely handle me to the burglars.
I looked around and my eyes settled on a beautiful lady in her mid 30s.
"Hi, Iam sorry, but I was knocking for quite sometime and no body opened up so......". She trailed off.
Obviously there will be no burglars. Why would burglars shake me up? Wouldn't they just commit burglary and leave?
"Um....can you please make poached eggs with coffee. If it is not a big inconvenience." I quickly added the last sentence.
"Of course not honey! So poached eggs and coffee coming right up." I smiled at her.
"Well, why don't you just get freshen up while I make your breakfast."
"Oh sorry yeah I'll just go." I said and ran upstairs.
"And then he would run around the house trying to catch the little cockroaches."
"Eww, that is something that Kezr would do, for sure." I shuddered.
Right now, Me and Elissa are sitting on the couch, and she is telling me about little Kezr's adventures, he sounds so cute.
I really like Elissa, I finally have someone to laugh and talk with after so many years.
She is a married woman with a son. She speaks about her husband with so much love.....I wish I could do that.
Keyword: Wish
Elissa's son is married to a Latina girl and has a baby boy. She even showed me some pictures causing me to awe.
She is really easy and carefree to talk to. Apparently she has been working for Kezr for 10 years and has always treated him like her own.
She calls him respectful and sweet. Both the sides still unknown to me. She knows about our situation, so that made talking to her more easy.
"I have a request." I said looking at her.
