The Master’s Bedroom
Episode 1
I just got back from another tiring interview, I wouldn’t say I’m not sick and tired of pacing around just to get a decent job and plus stop depending on my roommate Tiffany to supply my needs.
Today was finally the day I was going to get hired,I assured myself about entering the company when I bumped into a Man who was rude, I ignored him and walked into the huge company.
“Nothing was going to ruin my anticipation and excitement of being a worker here”.I told myself but that was just not enough for this man.
” He went further asking who invited me to be here”.I wondered who he was as the workers had a glare in their eyes that surprised me.
“Was he the boss or someone with high class here or was he just a ride man who gets the attention of people by shouting? “.I asked myself and he held unto me immediately making me aware that he heard me.
“You’re really rude”.He remarked and I held his hands trying to release his grip.
“Let me go, you’re hurting me plus who are you?” I questioned and he stared at me.
” What your purpose here?”.He asked me and I thank God for two men who came to talk to him and he walked away.
“What a rude man!”.i remarked and was directed to where my interview was made.
After going through the whole questions and answering them with ease, I got the job as the CEO new secretary.
“Hey girl, guess what?” I said smiling.
“What happened? “She asked and I smiled and said.
” This girl in front of you is now someone’s employee”.I said and jumped up in excitement, she hugged me real tight and congratulated me.
I smiled and asked her why she was back from work early and that when she informed me that she was fired today and was wondering how sho would inform me.
I tried smiling assuming her I will be the one paying our bills and everything but then she will also do her part by finding a new job too.
After talking for a while about everything in our lives, we both retired to bed.
I woke up very early, took my bathe and got dressed, Tiffany had prepared breakfast, I ate and went out to get a cab.
I got to work as early as everyone did and resumed my post, everyone around me congratulated me and said weird things to me like.
“Hey, you’re the new worker right?” Was their question.
My response ” Yes, I resumed today”.
“Ohh that good, let see how long you will last been the CEO’s secretary”.They said and left me dumbfounded with their laughter.
I got fed up of being confused and asked a girl around “I don’t get, how long am I meant to last here?” I asked her and she smiled.
“Don’t let that get to you, it just that the CEO of this company is known to have anger issues and so there hasn’t been a record of any of his secretary working for a whole day, some only spend two hours here before they got fired, others one hour, the shortest is 12 minutes”.She said and I wondered how bad my new boss was.
” Um please where’s my station?” I asked and she pointed at my office.
I got there and kept my bag, the office was really big and beautiful too, j tried settling in and started work immediately, I didn’t want to get fired the first day plus I and Tiffany really needs me to still have my job.
I went through my files and walked into My boss office with the file hoping to get his signature block t got something shocking instead.
I witnessed him making out with a woman, He turned to face me, his lips still on hers and u walked away feeling disgusted, I then realized he was that rude man I had met earlier yesterday.
I got uncomfortable immediately.
” Is this how low he can be?” I asked myself and watched the lady walk out of the company, she stared at me with her blood shot eyes assuring me that she was going to deal with me for the interruption I had made.
I ignored her and was about going when I heard “Come in”.
I walked in, dropped the files and was about going out when he signaled me to have a seat.
“And you’re?” He asked me.
“I’m the new secretary sir, your new secretary”.I responded.
” Ohh I see, and you forgot your home training about knocking before entering a room”.He asked me and I stared at him, his face was buried at the files.
“It wasn’t my intention to sir, I’m sorry”.I said wondering why he didn’t even have any sort of remorse for what he was doing.
“You look familiar, I’m sure I have seen you somewhere”.He said and stared closely at me.
” Ohh yeah, you were the girl who had the nerves to call me rude in my own company”.He said and I just watched him let out a smile without saying a word.
“Take this file, give it to the receptionist out there and pack your bags and leave”.Was what I heard next.
” What! Sir! “I called out in shock.
“Didn’t you hear what I said?, I don’t want to see you here, do yourself a favor and leave my company, you are fired”.He let out and I went on my knees begging, I needed this job and it also dawn to me why his previous secretaries were fired, he just did as he pleased for no reason.
“Ohh so you beg” He mocked and I ignored him still begging.
” I like watching you beg me”.He said and I wonder if I should just stand up and leave or beg till I get my job back.
“What your name?” He asked and I wondered why he wanted to know.
” I’m Amber Karl”I said and he let out a smile.
“Amber, I like that name”.He said and I wondered what he was up to.
” Amber from the looks of it, you are in so need of a job right now because I got amazed watching you beg, other women in your shoes would just walk out of here”.He said and smiled.
” I have an offer for you”.He said smiling.
“It a choice, you will get your job back but then I want to have a contract with you, I want you to be satisfying your master in his bedroom and by master I mean me”.He said and I rolled my eyes.
I stood up immediately ready to reject his offer when he said
“It a matter of choice, I’m not forcing you, just think about it and yes I need you to do that for a month, I promise to pay you 2 million dollars just for it”.He said and I was about leaving when he said
“5 million dollars and that my limit” He stood up and handed me his business card.
” Call that number when you change your mind”.
I walked out of his office with my bag hoping I never show my face here again.
