Today I left early for the office, as I had really important clients coming tomorrow for the club that I wanted to build, on the land I bought which resulted in me getting married. Fucking Useless.

I needed to make sure all the documents were ready, as tomorrow I might not have time early, as I have many contracts and papers that need my signatures.

As the clock hit 8, I expected Rozella to be in the office already, but she is not here.

I engrossed myself in work and made a mental note to remind her that I don't like tardiness.

At 8:15, there were two knock sounds on my door.

I don't know if Rozella realizes this but, everybody else either knocks once or thrice on my door but she does it twice and in a rhythmic pattern, so I know she is behind the door even before seeing her.

"In" I permitted her.

Remind her who you are, and how she is la-...........She looks really beautiful in her pencil skirt.

I started checking her out and then I looked at her eyes and I saw her checking out my arms which were fully tatted till my packs, but as I was wearing sleeves they weren't visible that much. I saw her eyes slightly widen at them.

Nice to know what she likes.

"Sir, I wanted to tell you that Iam here", she said and placed the coffee on my desk "and your coffee."

"You're late" That's right. Remind her.

As she started explaining why she was late I saw the coffee and how it was not black like usual but a light brown.

I picked up the cup and took a sip from it....

Holy fuck!

The unusual coffee flavor bursted on my taste buds making me swallow it with my eyes closed. Whatever this shit is it's really good.

I stayed quiet, many questions running through my mind but at the top of them all was, What is this?

"What is this?" I asked her.

Rather hesitantly she started explaining to me how she made it and I listened closely.

"D-did you at least liked it? I mean you didn't spit it out, so I thought......." She trailed off.

"It's okay" Iam not going to give her the satisfaction of believing that she did good.

My eyes snapped towards her when she almost jumped at me and said "Really?!"

I glared at her "I said it was okay, not good"

She nodded.

I felt a little guilty, because I was lying straight through my teeth, knowing full well that, that shit was really good.

With that I told her to bring me my important files and with a "Yes, sir" she left my office with her head down.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

I was still checking my emails and signing documents. I was done with most of my work today and that to really early.

Rozella really does work fast. Ever since she has been my assistant, work load is balanced and not stacked up like usual.

She gets through all my meetings and schedule right and let's not talk about that coffee from before.

She was right, I usually drink 5 cups of black coffee or more to get rid of the sleepiness and headache from work and it works for an hour or so before I need another cup again.

But that coffee completely made me wide awake and I have had only one cup since 8 hours.

If only I had known this earlier. Because it worked like a fucking charm.

As I am answering an email, I searched for the Wentmore and Co documents but only found half of it there. Where's the rest half of the file?

I called Rozella over, through the intercom.

"Rozella, Do you know what I just found?"

She shook her head and looked shocked at my no cursing, calm voice.

Well it's the calm before the fucking storm.

"No sir"

"I opened W and CO's file and found only half of the fucking documents present. And I have no knowledge of the other half. Where is the other half?"

She looked at me confused before her eyes widened in realization and she bolted out of the room.

Huffing and tapping my foot, I impatiently waited for her for three minutes before she came back bolting in the room, panting, with some papers in her hand.

My eyes zeroed on the papers in her hands and realization hit me.

I got up from my seat and she took a few steps back.

I snatched the papers from her hands before going over at the desk and matched the documents.

Well, looks like she found the other half.

I threw the papers at the desk and made my way to where she was standing.

"Why were they not in the file?"

She stepped back and looked down but didn't answer.

She is really testing my fucking patience right now.

"Why. Were. They. Not. In. The. Fucking. FILE?!"

She flinched at my tone, but still didn't answer.

What the fuck is wrong with her?

"Answer me, God damnit!?"

She jumped from her place at my tone and looked at me, I saw tears pooled up in her eyes.

"W-when I was re-arranging them and putting t-them back in the file, I forgot to place the other half a-a-as they were placed behind the computer and I didn't see them."

She took a deep breath after.

Didn't see them?

"First you think what your boss says, is funny like a meme. Then you feel the fucking right to misplace my very important documents all because you didn't fucking see them!?"

I heard her whimper and she sniffled back a tear.

"Thank God I checked them or tomorrow at the fucking meeting we would have been looking at their fucking faces."

"Iam s-sorry, I didn't...."

"Fucking leave. Get out my sight before I lose my mind."

And with that she scurried off.

This woman, I swear she will be the death of me.

••••••••••••••••••••

I let the cold water trickle down from my head to my back. A shower feels really nice.

Today is the important meeting with Wentmore and CO's Architectures.

I have all the documents and contract ready, but I know I won't be signing the contract right away.

Iam a big deal for them just as they are for me.

By me being their client they are getting good sale prices and are making a name for themselves. When people will find that this architecture firm has worked with the Kezr Heznaya, they are totally gonna raise the bars.

It's important for me as they are really best at what they do. I have seen some of their designs and outlets and let's say Iam fucking impressed, and Iam never fucking impressed.

But today, Iam not gonna sign the contract right away. Knowing these firms, I know they are desperate for a client as they have recently opened a year ago. Iam gonna make them show that Iam impressed but not too much, and also I don't fucking trust anybody, so that's a hard deal. I cannot just sign it right away although I have been thinking about this meeting for a month.

My thoughts somewhat drift off to Rozella and how scared she looked by my outburst yesterday.

I mean she slipped up and had to pay the price for it, but I still can't help but feel guilty about it.

Fuck.

I punched the shower glass causing it to shatter and breathed loudly.

I never feel guilty.

I did feel like shit only once and that was when I shaved Aria's hair when she was sleeping.

I stepped out from the bathroom and wrapped a towel around my waist and from another towel I dried my hair.

Picking out my suit from my wardrobe, bandaging my now bruised knuckles, spraying cologne and grabbing my briefcase, I left the room.

Going downstairs I saw Elissa serving my breakfast.

"Mornin' " I greeted.

"Morning Kezr!"

I rounded the island and picked up the coffee, Elissa made me.

"Wouldn't you eat your breakfast?"

I placed my cup down and looked at her, "What? Where did that question come from?" She knows I don't eat breakfast. Why did she ask that?

"Well, it's just that a certain somebody asked me yesterday this same question....but for you."

I sighed. "Well, no, I am not going to."

She laughed and said "Ok dear, goodbye. Rozella already left."

I nodded and went to the garage and saw Zake and passed him the keys to my Rolls Royce. He caught it and slipped into the driver seat.

"Gooooood morning!"

"Mornin' fucker."

He chuckled "Still the same old I see."

"What the fuck is gonna happen to me overnight?"

"I don't know. Maybe, a certain somebody?"

"What's with y'all's certain somebody? Elissa said the same."

"About what?"

"About how Rozella asked her, why I don't eat breakfast."

He chuckled and took a U-turn for the office.
"Aww look at little Ella caring for you"

"You know what? Fuck you"

"I don't think Rozella will approve though, but if you're down then......"

"Fucking asshole!" I shut the car door upon arriving the building and heard his laughter behind.

Mother fucker.

••••••••••••••••••••••••

"In!" I permitted, very well knowing it's Rozella.

She walked in with a cup of coffee in her hand, I got a little excited knowing I will drink my new favorite coffee.

"Sir, Coffee." But all my excitement went down the fucking drain when I saw her place my usual black coffee in front of me.

I looked at the coffee and then back at her with raised eyebrows.

"Coffee Sir....?"

"Why didn't you bring me the one that you bought me yesterday?"

"Oh....uh..cause, you said that it wasn't good....?"

"Yeah, but, I also didn't say that it was bad"

Her mouth formed into an 'O' when realization hit her.

"Oh, so....would you like that instead?"

"Yes, please" please? I never use please.

"So, you liked it" she said smiling.

"Yes, now get the fuck out, and get me my coffee"

She giggled to herself and took my cup and left the office.

She is weird.

But you like it?

That I do.

••••••••••••••••••••••

"Did you check all the documents?"

"Yes sir" Rozella replied.

We are walking to the meeting room, where the clients are already seated.

"Sir, wait"

I stopped and looked at her.

"Sir Iam really sorry, for you know.....whatever happened yesterday, I just don't know where my head was and-"

"It's fine Rozella, calm down. And Iam.....that too for what I did." I said walking beside her.

"That...what?" I looked at her and she just giggled.

I loved that sound from her mouth.

"Don't be shy, say it." She tried acting smart.

"I don't say sorries."

"You just did though."

"You- "

She just giggled and ran to the meeting door.

Shaking my head, I went in behind her.

It felt good talking to her like that, I thought maybe it would be awkward between us now and didn't know how to tackle the situation. But thank God, she has guts.

Yeah, cause you're a pussy.

Upon entering we saw 12 people in the room.

Oh, it's a big ass meeting, A'ight.

As I entered, Ms. Wentmore stood up and shook my hand.

Ms.Wentmore is the CEO of her company Wentmore and Co Architectures. And her daughter is the COO. Her husband well, ex- husband is a cheating scumbag.

"Hello everybody, this is my assistant Rozella."
Rozella shyly waved at them and they smiled back.

I clapped my hands together and took my seat.

"Let's start the meeting, shall we?"
