His Luna

“Vera,” I turned my gaze from my computer to Yana, she was holding a pile of documents, in her left hand and was busy fixing her thick graded glass, “Sir Julian handed me this and instructed me that President entrusted you with this paper,”

Entrusted my foot! That man!

But instead of ranting, I just nodded and gave her a faint smile, “Put it on my desk, I’ll scan that after these files,” I said and continued to encode the numbers, but Yana wasn’t moving after she put the files on my desk, “Yes? You need something?”

“Uh,” she looked at the files, “He wanted you to submit it later tonight,”

I closed my fist and breath to control my mouth to speak, “Alright, I’ll finish that,” after I said that, she nodded and came back to her desk.

It’s been two weeks since I started working here, and this was not the first time I’m dealing with this shit; this Zachary folk is not as it seems like the television and reporters were portraying him. She’s an asshole and unprofessional. Is he still mad about the coffee incident? If yes, that’s an absurd reason to do this to me.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I scanned the papers; it was files and bills from years ago! What’s the use of it? Why should I track this down again? I’m out of it; I stood up and brought the papers with me; talking to him is not my option, but this is enough.

I went straight to the elevator, going to the top floor where his office is located; I knocked three times but did not wait for him to answer and just opened the door.

“Grandpa, come on, tell grandma that I can’t make it tonight,” he stopped when he heard me enter his office; Zachary shot me a glance, “I’ll call you back later; my pet was having an attitude,” I raised my brow with what I said, is he referring to me? This jerk is getting on my nerves, “Yes? Do you know how to knock?”

“I did; I think you have some hearing problem, that may be the reason you didn’t hear me, anyway, I’m talking to you now by force,” he walked toward his swivel chair and sat, “These files,”

“Yes? I told Julius to deliver that to you. Are you through with that?” so, he wanted me to scan all these shits?

“I know, but these files were ten years ago; they should be shredded or disposed of; why are you bothering me to encode this, when in fact, we won’t be needing this anymore?”

He stood up and grabbed his pen, “Those papers will be needed for the upcoming meeting, I have an investor from twelve years ago, who just came back to business, and he wants to close a deal with my company, that’s why I’m asking you to do it for me,”

“Well, I’m not invalidating your reason, since you’re the owner of this company,” he nodded, like a child, and gave me a victorious smile, “But then, as far as I remember, Julius made it clear that managing the finance department and making sure that every penny within this premises will be audited, and this encoding thing is not my job, we have our encoder in the department for a purpose, these papers were wasting my time, this was not my job! I have tons of work to do, and you can’t just give it to me! I can’t even do my job properly because of these!”

“Why can’t I? Hmm?” He covered the distance between us; he’s smirking, “I am the boss here, meaning, I have all the access, the command, and the decision of this building, and why,” he touched the tiny strand of my hair, “Why are you questioning my decisions?”

“Because you are a human, you’re not always right, so am I,”

He chuckled and looked the other way, then looked back at me again, “Human,” he mumbled, “Do I look like a human to you?”

“Well,” I stepped back, “My mouth will always get me in trouble so that I won’t answer that question,” I put all the documents on his glass table; there, I saw a frame with a picture of two, which I assume was married couple. The lady was holding a baby, “Anyway, I’m leaving it here, so don’t bother to ask Julius again for these because I won’t be accepting non-related papers,” I walked towards the door, “Have a good day,” I said then left his office.

Created with Sketch.

My day was well spent; I was able to do my job fast and hassle-free, Zachary didn’t say anything after this morning, and I don’t think that’s the proper reaction, I’m a bit bothered if that will cause me to leave my job, but I was standing for myself, I didn’t do anything wrong.

However, this man isn’t finished yet; I’m here in his office again, waiting for him to end his call; it’s past five in the afternoon, and most of my colleagues have already gone home, but here I am, waiting for this asshole to finish talking with some unknown creatures over the phone.

“Alright, I’ll call you when we’re on our way,” he said; my face lit up when he ended the call and put his phone on his table.

I am sitting on one of his sofas, near the glass door; his office was way too more extensive than what I expected before I was able to come here, it’s three times bigger than my apartment, well, I’m not materialistic, I’m just admiring his office.

“Well, you are coming with me tonight,” he said as if I was not given a choice to disagree.

“Where? And is that job-related? It’s past working hours; I should be home by now; this office is not my life,” like I said earlier, my mouth will get me into trouble; it won’t stop until I say what I need to say.

“You will be meeting my family tonight, and I want you to dress fine before them,” he reached his table and turned off his computer because the light went off, then he grabbed his suit, “You will come with me, and I’m not giving you a choice to reject, consider it as part of your work, and I’ll add it up to your salary, don’t worry,” he grabbed my hand that’s resting on my thigh, “I’m not interested with your nor your body, you would be the human that I’ll be fantasizing,”

The fudge! This perverted guy!
