Chapter 7: Chapter 6
Mila pov...
What.... a trip, " I turned saying in absolute shock
Yes a trip Miss Brown or did I stutter maybe you didn't hear me correctly, " Mr. Harris yelled looking extremely irritated
But Mr. Harris..... Your father never took me on trips when I worked with him, " I murmured lowly as I fidgeted with the hem of my clothes
Bang... " I soon heard a loud sound as I looked up in absolute fear
Miss Brown... " He emphasized with tension and anger in every word
I am not my father okay... And I would never be him, " he spat out venomously as I could see a flash of rage in his eyes
So scared and taken aback by his sudden outburst, I couldn't bring myself to protest any further
Okay, Mr. Harris, I would go get started with the preparation
Do you have any airline in mind," I asked rather lowly
Mr. Harris chuckled softly as he brushed some loose strands of hair from his face
I got that covered okay just do any other necessary arrangements, I would just send you an email with instructions so you don't go mess things up, " he said
" Nodding my head as my face fell from the sudden news
OK if that would be all Mr. Harris, can I take my leave now, " I asked hopping back and forth on my leg nervously
Just get out, " he particularly ordered gesturing for me to leave
Walking out of the office with my heart beating so loudly in my chest, I didn't know what to make of this little trip Mr. Harris was forcing me to take
No executive takes their assistant on a trip, it was the companies policy and no one dares to disobey it except for the only
Angel Harris CEO of Harris Construction
"Why does this man have to be a giant pain in my life right now, causing such chaos in my heart not giving my head the chance to think
Closing my eyes and taking in a deep breath, I willed myself with everything within me to carry on with the rest of my day
" I did all the necessary arrangements which Mr. Harris had instructed, booking 2 rooms at a 5-star hotel in London
At least you get to see the City of London, " my subconscious tried to comfort me
The rest of the day went by as usual with Mr. Harris yelling orders and me following them
But there was only one thing that occupied my mind so freely and that was my trip with Mr. Harris alone
..........
It was remaining 5 days left for my trip to London and I'm already freaking the hell out, I decided to start packing for my trip just to keep my mind busy as Mr. Harris gave me the week off work to prepare myself
What are you doing, " I soon heard Maya's voice say from behind me
Packing, " I murmured lowly
Sitting on the bed, Maya looked up at me her eyes showing how curious she is as she tilts her head to the side
And Why... Where are you going to, " she asked with her eyes drifting from my box of clothes and then back to me
Folding other clothes into the box I looked down at her with a frustrated and tired look on my face
I'm going to London," I said lowly
London..... Why? " Maya asked now sounding a bit concerned
Because Mr. Harris is forcing me on this trip," I said with my heart skipping a thousand beats at the mention of his name
Shut the front door..." Maya yelled looking super excited
Are you saying my dear friend that you are going on a trip with your super hot boss," Maya chirped as she pulled me down to the bed
" Maya it's just for work ok, but what worries me is that there is a company policy saying that no executive is allowed to go on any trip with their assistant,
What would people think about it," I said as I looked Maya straight in the eyes searching for an answer to my dilemma
Maya just looked at me as if I'm the dumbest person in the world with her smiling so widely all at the same time
she soon pulled me into a deep hug as if she was trying to comfort me in her little way
Mila who cares what others think, your boss asked you to do this and you are only answerable to him and no one else," she told me as she pulled me back to look at her
And who could tell, you might make him fall for you just like I have always wanted, " she said smirking
Oh my goodness Maya can you think of anything else, " I scolded her as I stood up to continue packing,
Maya just rolled her eyes at me saying
So Mila when is this trip with your hunk of a Boss, " she asked with her eyebrows inching up and her mouth twisting into a knowing grin
In 5 days, " I said nervously
What. .... 5 days and you are packing now, what is wrong with you, " Maya said frustrated as she put her hand on her face groaning loudly
I don't just want to forget anything important OK," I said frowning at her
You can be such a nerdy work something, " Maya teased me
...........
5 days later
" It was already time for my trip with Mr. Harris and the nerve was eating me alive
"I didn't sleep a wink all night, until the break of dawn so I kind of woke up late
Mila is your work trip for today canceled, " I soon heard my mom say waking me up from my deep sleep
Yeah no, why is do you ask ...." I asked rubbing my sleepy eyes
Because it is past 1 pm, " my mom said nonchalantly
What no...no..... No... It can't be, " I screamed as I tumbled down from the bed
I'm going to be late for my trip mom, my boss would kill me, " I yelled in pure fright as I ran into the bathroom
Mr. Harris would be so mad, I'm already walking on thin ice with him as it is
Hope I make it there on time," I internally prayed to the universe for help
I quickly took my shower and hurriedly got ready, I wore baggie joggers and a crop top, pulling up my hair into a messy bun as I looked at myself in the mirror I wasn't my best self today but it doesn't matter I was extremely late
I hurriedly pulled down my bag dragging it to the taxi which was already waiting to take me to the airport
Waving goodbye to my mom and sister, I was soon on my way to the airport
Taking in a deep breath, I mentally prepared myself for the storm that was about to hit, when I see Mr. Harris
An hour later I got to the airport..... I quickly got down from the taxi and I ran like a madwoman through the crowded airport lobby deafened by the loud thumping beat of my heart
Scanning through the crowd searching for him, but he was nowhere to be found
Has he left without me, " I asked myself as my eyes continued to hover around looking desperately for him
Soon enough my eyes landed on a heavily built man in a black tailored suit that fitted him perfectly, he towered high above everyone just like a Greek god, with his hair imperfectly perfect
Looking at the Man I just knew it was Mr. Harris
Standing there just staring at his perfect back and how it rose and fell as he breathes, my eyes soon unconsciously moved up and I found him desperately scanning the airport lobby
What or who was he looking for, " I asked myself curiously
As the realization soon dawned hard on me
Oh my goodness... He was looking for me, " I said out loud as I ran to him
Mr. Harris..." I said out of breath
Turning around Mr. Harris looked straight into my eyes and there was a hint of relief and concern that took me aback, but it was just for a few seconds as it was immediately taken over by his normal disdain and angry scowl
You are late Mrs. Brown," he said in an intimidating voice with his arm folded across his chest
I'm so sorry Mr. Harris, " I murmured in a way that I don't think he heard me
Do you know you made me wait amid these common people," he said as he moved closer to me trying to emphasize deeply his words
I'm so sorry Mr. Harris, " I said again nervously as I looked down to the floor in other to avoid his intense gaze
Silence..... That was all I could hear, the silence that I hated so much but has been my closest companion
No one said anything until he said
"Follow me," he blurted out his usual order as he started walking not giving me time to react
I quickly followed suit trailing behind him slowly until we were out of the airport lobby
Mr. Harris soon took me to a private hangar with several planes there
We are taking that one, " he pointed to the already prepared airplane with a pilot and an air hostess ready to serve
So mesmerized I couldn't stop looking at the kind of luxury these rich people live in these days
If you are done staring can you just get in already, " Mr. Harris scolded me as he walked past me into the plane
Swiftly but slowly, I gradually stepped onto the plane, I have never been on an airplane before talk less of leaving this country, So forgive me if I wasn't so used to this
Getting into the plane the interior was to die for as there was different wine and dessert arranged in there
Miss Brown just sit down, " Mr. Harris urged me to take a seat sounding a bit irritated as he pointed to the seat opposite in front of him
Hesitantly with shaky legs, I took my seat opposite from him as I immediately looked away trying my hardest not to make eye contact
Nervously looking out of the window, trying to shut out the mixture of emotions churning deep inside me, I didn't know when he said
Miss Brown your seat belt, " he said as he pointed to the belt
Realizing what he was talking about, I nodded my head trying to buckle my seat belt but to no avail
All of a sudden I saw him bend down in front of me looking right at me with those eyes of his, which made my breath hitch in my throat in an instant, making my brain go into overdrive
He gently moved his hands over my lap as I closed my eyes holding my breath, patiently anticipating his next move
Suddenly I had a click as I quickly opened my eyes to see him back in his chair and my seat belt fixed
Looking back at him with different emotions caused a huge storm in my heart not giving me the chance to breathe, and making me wonder if I could ever survive this trip with
Mr. Harris
My Boss
