Harris' POV

"Hey Evelyn, can you call that Aliah Samuni girl for me? Tell her to come to my office." It was 3 pm and I thought that it would be the perfect time to bring up the 'big mouthed' girl, to talk about her behavior.

"Okay, sure sir," Evelyn responded and hung up the phone.

I know exactly what I'm going to do with her.

Aliah's POV

"Hello, Aliah Samuni speaking, what can I do for you?" I responded, picking up the phone. I actually hate picking up the phone or calling people, but it was a part of my job.

"Aliah, It's Evelyn, Harris' assistant. The boss wants to speak to you", she said.

The boss wants to talk to me? Why me? Have I done something wrong? Oh God, I'm going to get fired.

"Uhm okay, but why? Have I done something wrong?"

"I have no idea, just be here in ten seconds or he'll fire you, it's on the 5th floor," she said before hanging up.

Ten seconds? Okay, I need to be quick if I wanted to keep this job.

"Psst Eliza, the boss wants to speak to me. I'll be back down in a few minutes if he doesn't fire me," I whispered to Eliza.

"Good luck, he's everything but kind," she responded.

Well, thank you for making me more nervous than I already was. What does he want from me? Maybe he wants to welcome me into the company. Oh shut up, he has like 900 people working for him, why would he welcome ME?

I said a quick prayer before entering the elevator to the 5th floor. I arrived on the 5th floor and took a look around. Hey, this is where I was yesterday, the fanciest part of the building.

"Hey, I'm Aliah," I said to his, I think, assistant.

"You can go in," she said coldly.

This company really needs some friendlier employees.

I knocked on the door and nervously waited until he gave me permission to go in.

"Come in!" He shouted. This guy isn't happy at all, 'Bismillah', I whispered before going in.

I was shocked when I saw who was standing in front of me, "You?!" I questioned.

"What are you doing here? Does the boss wants to talk to you too?" I asked.

He just looked at me amused, like I was telling an amusing story.

"Well, did you lose your tongue or something because you couldn't shut up yesterday," I said annoyed. He was practically laughing at me.

Somebody knocked on the door and entered the room, I first thought that it would be the boss but it was his assistant.

"Mr. Cooper, the Bellessa client wants to reschedule their appointment to later this week. Is that okay with you?" She asked.

I was so confused, why was she calling him Mr. Cooper if the boss is called Mr-

"OMG," I shouted placing my hand on my mouth immediately afterwards.

They both looked at me like I was crazy.

"Yes, that's fine Evelyn," he said as he winked at her.

Wait a minute, he is-he is THE Harris Cooper? My boss?

"Okay, so you're Harris Cooper?" I asked, totally embarrassed.

"Yes, I'm Harris Cooper. The CEO of this company, your boss, also known as the jerk," He said with a serious expression on his face.

I was just staring at him, killing myself a hundred times in my head. I called him a jerk, big mouthed, and a 4-year-old. Why did this always happen to me?

"What? I didn't know you were, you know, THE Harris-"

"Now you know," He said taking a seat.

His eyes were burning on my body like he was waiting for something.

"What?" I asked.

"Your parents didn't teach you any manners did they?" he smirked.

Look who's talking, jerk.

"Well, are you just going to stand there or apologize?" he asked raising his eyebrows waiting for something I didn't want to say.

"Yeah, of course, I'm sorry for calling you a child and a jerk. Now can I go back to work?" I asked turning around and heading towards the door.

"No!" he shouted.

I stopped and turned back around, seeing him walking towards me.

I took a step back on every step he was making forward until I hit my back against the wall.

"Can you please stay out of my personal space?" I asked, a little bit annoyed.

"You can only get back to work if you say this: I'm so sorry I bumped into your sexiness and that I called you a jerk and a child, you're nothing but a handsome looking man." He said only three inches away from my face. He was close for my liking, too close.

Childish much.

"Sir, I don't want to lie to you," I smirked. I was pleased with what I said, he can't force me.

"You know, you have the guts to talk to the guy who can fire you and make sure you would never get a job in this city ever again!" he said getting even closer than he was before.

I can't get fired, I can't. I'll be forced to live on the streets. If he wants to hear those words, then I'm going to say them.

"Fine! I'm sorry I bumped into your sexiness and that I called you a jerk and a child, you're nothing but a handsome looking man, jerk." I whispered that last one, however, I think he heard me.

He raised his eyebrows and turned back around, thank God, I can breathe again.

"Can I go now?" I asked as I didn't want to stay any longer with this child.

"Nope." He said popping the 'p'.

He picked up the phone and started calling someone.

"Donald, I want Aliah to be my assistant. Can you let Evelyn know she is the receptionist from tomorrow onwards?" He said, placing the phone back afterwards.

Is this guy serious? I hate him! I don't want to be with him every single day.

"No! I like the job I have now!" I said, annoyed.

"Watch your tone love, either you're going to be my assistant or you will not have any job at all." He threatened with the same serious expression as before. This guy really knows how to get on someone's nerves. How am I going to survive every single day around him?

"Fine!" I huffed as I was heading towards the door.

"Aliah you start tomorrow. Don't be late or there will be consequences," he said.

I left his office and all I wanted to do was scream. This guy is making everything so hard. I seriously hate him and now I have to work with him, like working for him wasn't bad enough.

Great. Excellent. Exceptional.

As I was walking out of his office, I saw that Evelyn wasn't pleased at all.

"Thank you, bitch." She whispered. Oh please darling, I'll rather work downstairs far away from that jerk. I just gave her one of my deadliest looks and walked into the elevator. My life just got harder than it already was.

Harris' POV

Me being so close to her made her uncomfortable and I loved making her that way. If she didn't have that big of a mouth, a normal apology would have sufficient, but I loved making her angry.

"Watch your tone love. Either you're going to be my assistant or you will not have any job at all." I said.

I hoped she was going to take the job offer, she would be a lot of fun. I've always been good at threatening people but apparently, she really needed this job. I knew she would do anything to not work for me, and that's exactly why I wanted her as my assistant.

"Fine," she said heading back to the door. I was thrilled that she took my offer, I practically forced her but whatever.

"Aliah you start tomorrow, don't be late or there will be consequences," I said, just to rub it in more. Like putting a pinch of salt in an already open wound.

I'll have so much fun with her, we'll see how much she really needed this job.
