Savannah came to work on Monday morning. She had spent her entire weekend reading about their work contract, over and over again. She was just so excited to work there. This was the first time she worked at another company that wasn't her father's, and what made it more amazing was the fact that Techno Inc. was one famous company.
Peeking a little at the glassy and shiny door, Savannah tried to hold the grin that threatened to spread across her face. She scolded herself a little and told herself to act normal before they think that she was insane.She arrived too soon in the morning, but she didn't really care. It gave her more time to inspect the magnificent tall building in front of her.As soon as she satisfied inspecting the building, she carefully began entering it. It was still so silent, only a few people were inside. Some glanced at her, then went back to whatever they were doing, and some were didn't really care.To say Savannah was a bit nervous was an understatement. She was very self-conscious that the voice of her shoes hitting the floor was resonating inside the room.She was going about to approach a lady walked towards when someone suddenly entered her line of sight. She held back her surprise, smiling forcefully at him."Miss Easton?" He asked her with a kind expression. Savannah just nodded."Ah, the new receptionist," he looked at her calculatingly. Bright blue eyes seemed to study her entire figure, trying to decipher what kind of woman she was."Let me introduce myself. I am Andrew Henderson, the assistant," he held his hand out for her to shake, which she accepted politely."Savannah Easton," she said her name back. He nodded with a kind smile.Savannah did the same, she studied his tall figure. He looked quite like the kind of man who was quite a perfectionist and a hard worker, proved by his neat appearance. The tone of his voice held no emotion at all, it was neutral and sounded formal."I am looking forward to work with you, Miss. If you have something to ask, don't hesitate to ask for my help," he offered, which Savannah was grateful for. She had just come to this city two weeks ago, so she also needed time to adapt to the new situation.Ha had told her to call him by his first name now that they were colleagues. He also gave Savannah a little tour around the company, and she tried to remember as much place as she could.She also met with a few people there. Some were kind and quite friendly, but some were pretty arrogant and dismissive as well. If they didn't want to get to know her better, Savannah had no problem with it. Not all people have to like you. There was always that kind of people everywhere.Lastly, Andrew showed her the work desk which was near the entrance. He also explained almost everything regarding her task and even briefed her a little about their employer's rules.Savannah nodded at his every word and listened to it attentively while trying to remember them. She was happy to work in a such magnificent company and she definitely didn't want to get fired so fast, so she had to obey every rule.Unfortunately, today their employer was busy having a trip business in another city, so she didn't get to meet him directly. But, according to Andrew, he would be back exactly tomorrow.Andrew excused himself as soon as the time to work started. Savannah began to do her job, delivering messages to important people around the building, taking notes, and also directing people to their necessities. While she had a little time to rest, she would use it to plan a certain scene...By the end of her work time, she was satisfied. Working as a receptionist was a bit tiring, but she knew that she would get used to it soon. Her father taught her more about business and how she should interact with the businessman.Savannah gathered her things together and put them into her small bag. It wasn't much anyway, some light makeup and her phone. She needed to go somewhere fast.Andrew approach her and asked her to get coffee together. He said that as employees, they should get to know each other so that they won't be awkward. Savannah kindly rejected his offer, she had gotten some matters to be taken care of."Maybe another time," she offered. Andrew nodded at her offer. She bid him farewell and exited the building. She immediately ordered a cab to go to a certain place.***It was so silent and comfy inside. He had just eaten an entire pizza box by himself as he laid down on the sofa, feeling a bit content that he was full.Slowly, he drifted into sleep. But, then...Brakk!!The door slammed open made him jump in surprise that he fell from the sofa into the floor, head hitting the edge of the sofa as he came face-planted.Brandon Williams immediately sat up, groaning at the pain in his head as he rubbed her hands on it, trying to ease the pain. He was about to scold whoever disturbed his precious sleep, but his face immediately turned into horror as he gazed worriedly at the person standing on the threshold.And darn, she looked angry as hell!Savannah was cracking her knuckles as she narrowed her eyes at the panicking boy. Brandon was looking around for an escape, but before he could even move by a centimeter, Savannah already had both her hands clutching onto his ears.Brandon managed to crack a small wry and sheepish smile as he squeaked out, "Hi!"Savannah didn't look impressed, proved by her pulling his ear roughly that he winced. After he realized that things about to turn bloody one that ended up with him having a few bruises, Brandon already cried out loud, "I am sorry! I didn't do anything I swear, I didn't steal Carrick's cat food. Maybe, it was another cat!"Savannah pulled his ears more forcefully, making him cried out more a series of sorry. "You steal Carrick's food?"Brandon shook his head furiously as he denied, "Of course not!"Then, he realized something, "Wait! You don't come here to discuss that, do you?"He sounded a bit relieved after that, but still wary. If you came here yourself, there must be something wrong since you usually would just scold him by phone. He didn't mind though, he regarded Savannah as his own sister. "What's the matter then?""Where have you been for these past months?" Savannah interrogated him.Brandon sighed as he pulled himself from Savannah's painful clutch onto his ear and forced himself up to sit on the sofa."I was busy working, got a new job, and Mom was sick," he mumbled under his breath, but she could still hear it.Savannah let out a breath and patted his back, "You could've told Janette about it. She would've helped you taking care of your mother. She was thinking the worst about you, you know? She thought that you cheated on her."Brandon's eyes widened at this as he looked guilty, "I didn't know about that. I am sorry!"Savannah rolled her eyes at him. "Save the sorry for Janette later. Fix your relationship, will you?"With that, Savannah stood up. Brandon nodded at her gloomily. She excused herself, but not before she threw a plastic full of Cheetos and other snacks at him. Brandon happily accepted it, muttering his thanks and goodbye.Savannah was about to close the door as she gave him a warning look, "I know you were the one who stole Carrick's cat food."Brandon paled at that. She was sure, the scariest woman he had ever encountered in his life, well, besides his own mother.He also noticed that he needed to fix his door...Savannah came to work like yesterday. She had gotten to know a few employees there and greeted them this morning, including Andrew. She had a particularly good feeling about him, that he was to be a good partner at work just fine.Savannah began to scribble down some notes. The secretary had given her the schedule of some people that going to have a business talk with their boss. She remembered that he was going to show up at the office today, and she made sure to make a great first impression.Savannah was scanning the schedule as her ears suddenly caught the sound of the commotion, people were scattered around trying to get in their place.Savannah looked up to find a familiar figure in the entrance, his eyes seemed strict and calculating as he gazed at everyone. The sound of his shoes hitting the floor was resonating in the room as the other employees busying themselves with their work, hoping that they won't get scolded.Lucas Hernande
A week was enough to get used to the situation in the office: Mr. Hernandez sudden inspection of some undisciplines, fired employees, and some threats. Though, he didn't do the inspection often, he somehow managed to know which employee that didn't obey to his rules.Rules were made for a reason, and in this company, they were made to develop it into a better one by the good human resources.She had gotten to know Andrew better around that week, taking his offer to have lunch together and some coffe after work. At times, he even came into the office and brought her a cup of coffe so that she wouldn't feel sleepy at work. Savannah was grateful for that.Savannah looked around as she searched for a certain tall figure. After satisfied that he wasn't around, she began to open her phone and made a video call to a certain person.She had just done her task and was free at the moment. She expected to have
Savannah prepared herself the next for two days, looking for an excuse, but her mind came up with nothing. So, she told herself just to go with the flow.They were having a trip to another city nearby, who knew maybe she could mutilate and feed his remains to the wolves somewhere? Savannah chuckled at her own dark thoughts, shaking her head.That was until Andrew came and pulled her out of her own little world, staring at her thirsty expression weirdly. He immediately shoved the cup of coffee into her hands, which she accepted with a small surprised smile.He was like a coffee buddy for her."Good luck with your first business trip for this company," Andrew said, patting her shoulder. Savannah raised her eyebrow, muttering a small, "thanks."She was in sitting on the sofa, waiting for the boss to pick her up. A bag consist of her necessity was packed neatly beside her feet.Andrew nodded at her and got inside his own
Savannah's eyes shot open in alarm. She couldn't move her body! Still, in her slightly sleepy state, she tried again to thrash around, forcing what seemed to be a heavy, weight off her body.Savannah stopped for a moment, she blinked her eyes to adjust to the faint light coming from the dashboard car. As her eyes finally regained its eyesight back, she frantically looking around.Suddenly, a loud scream was heard throughout the entire region, scaring a few birds away as they flew from the trees nearby.Mr. Hernandez's own eyes shot awake upon the noise, he immediately went into action as he frantically exited the passenger seat and forced open the car backseat.Two people stumbled out of the car, Savannah luckily was on top of the much bigger man, so that her small frame wouldn't get crushed.Savannah groaned as she tried to stand up. The man below her struggled to pull his body up as well, looking at the two people in front of him wi
It was growling viciously while munching on whatever that was in its mouth. Even Mr. Hernandez had to take a step back. Once the whole thing was swallowed, the attention was immediately on them, it began to walk forward calculatingly, making them couldn't help but backed away.Out of nowhere, the beast suddenly lurched toward the unsuspecting Savannah, almost knocked her down into the ground. In the end, she still fell to the ground due to shock. She screamed loudly.Mr. Hernandez's eyes widened as he tried to approach them, wishing that he could do something before it ripped Savannah's flesh out. He directed the lamp at them carefully.Only to find something unexpected.Savannah was giggling while the huge wild cat in her lap purred at her excitedly. Mr. Hernandez breathed out a sigh of relief. He was about to get a heart attack at the thought of witnessing one of his employees be a dish to the vicious animal.As he slowly appr
Savannah woke up to find that she was placed in the passenger seat and the car was speeding fast. The hobo man even had gotten a bag of snacks, popping the content to his mouth while he fed the cat as well.Savannah was offered the bag of snack by Mr. Hernandez, saying that they couldn't stop by a restaurant due to not wanting to be late. Savannah accepted it, nodding.Mr. Hernandez had walked by himself this morning to buy fuel from a nearby village. Savannah was sleeping, so was the hobo man. He didn't want to wake up them. He had gotten them a few snacks as well to fill their empty stomach.He also thought that Savannah would be safe with him. Not that he trusted him. He just felt that he wouldn't dare to try anything.As for the cat, let's just say he tried to get rid of it after he had gotten the fuel. The little thing was meowing loudly, clawing at his suit that it woke up the hobo man. He instantly clutched the cat protectively in h
Their things were scattered everywhere. Savannah's goods were out from her bag into the floor. Her clothes laying around. Mr. Hernandez's bag she believed was in his car, but he had gotten a few of his necessities into their staying room as well.Mr. Hernandez looked livid as he gazed at the hobo man with hostile and anger, disgust clear on his face.
They were driving in silence. Savannah was frustrated with the situation right now. Her hot-headed boss just didn't want to hear things logically and instantly concluded whatever scenario came up to his mind.Just like these people nowadays. Savannah unconsciously shook her head in concern, looking at the back of his seat with a disapproving gaze. Did he do that a lot?Charlie was biting his lip worriedly, afraid that Mr. Hernandez may drop him off somewhere. The cat stayed at his lap, licking her own fur.Mr. Hernandez was a businessman and a successful one at that. With this rash personality, she wondered if this did happen a lot. She knew that every work needed patience and precision. He was driving at full speed, making Savannah grew worried but said nothing. He looked angry as he glared at nothing in front of him, seemingly focused on the job to drive.A few moments later, they pulled up into a familiar area. The restauran
