Chapter 78 - Richard Ashford

Richard POV

“You have got to be shitting me,” I burst through the door, walking ahead of Julien. He follows me close behind, closing the door behind him. My new secretary is not in yet. It’s the third time in one week that she’s late. This is unbelievable.

“Where the fuck is she?” I walk to my desk, open my laptop and connect to HR so they can contact her.

“Sonia, I need you to contact my secretary. She’s late again. While you’re at it, fire her,” I shout through the line. Sonia stays very quiet as she takes a deep breath.

“Outbursts like that won’t solve your problem,” she says, and I end the call. I am not in the mood for this kind of shit. I need someone that can actually do the fucking job without skipping work or coming in late.
