"Mr Kelvin." Mia whispers to my ear.

"Who is this girl?." Kelvin asks Mai who looks down.

"Sir she's your new secretary." Mai replies Kelvin smiling.

"My new secretary?." He asks her then sighs. "Welcome to this company,you'll love it." He assures me causing an unexpected smile on my lips.

"Thanks." I thank him really happy that he just assured me I'm going to enjoy his company.

I go back to my office and sit on the black chair.

What can I do? I don't know what to do, no one told me what to do, well I'll just go meet Kelvin for my first file to fill.

I stand up from my chair and go to his office without knocking.

"Kelvin." I call him then he faces me without smiling.

"Who are you?." He asks me looking surprised to see me.

"I'm your new secretary sir." I remember that I called him Kelvin instead of Mr Kelvin.

"I'm so sorry sir for calling you by your by your name just now, please forgive me." I plead then he smiles.

"Its no problem, I don't take such things to heart,Kelvin or Mr Kelvin,you can call me what you want to call me,no problem with that."

"Really?." I ask him really shocked.

Wow, It's really shocking for me, is he not a bad person? It seems so. Well....

"So why'd you come?." He asks me interrupting my thoughts.

"Well,um, I would like to have some file to fill?." 

He opens a drawer and brings out a lot of files then hands them to me.

"Thanks sir." I thank him in so much pain then I take it to my office.

Wow,why's my work so much? Well it's going to be because I'm the secretary of my boss so I just have to accept the job to do and I want to be successful, I've made a promise on my mother grace to be rich one day, if it's that I get married to a rich man, it's still part if my vow.

I begin to work on the files getting really famished.

Kelvin comes out of my office and is in my office. He looks at me then smile.

"Sir." I stand up with my hair already rough which I don't know how that just happened but I don't really care.

"Woe, you've worked hard." He tells me which is a compliment to me I don't know for others but it is to me.

"Thanks sir." I notice my rough hair then quickly repack it thinking he won't notice. He looks at his wristwatch.

"It's lunch time." He reminds me.

"Oh, OK sir, when you come back from lunch, I'd have been done with this files." I assure him then he sighs.

"Won't you eat?." He ask me then I shake my head pretending I'm not hungry.

"OK,I give you a break,should I take you to a restaurant for lunch so you'd be really healthy so you'd be able to continue your work?." He smiles. "Meet me in my car outside the company, when you're done repacking your hair." He goes out of the office.

*******

"Wow,this food is so delicious." I take another bite of the more classical sandwich better than the one they sell in my area.

"Are you enjoying it?." He asks me then I quickly nod. "Good but would you please eat it slowly because everyone's looking at you." He reminds me then I look around and he's right everyone is looking at me.

I smile dropping the sandwich then I take a tissue and clean my mouth.

"I'm so sorry sir, I didn't know I was embarrassing you, well since I haven't tasted such delicious food before I ate it like a dog." I apologize for eating like an absolute fool.

I just embarrassed Mr kelvin ,oh I know how hell feel, so embarrassed.

"It's OK, I don't feel anyhow." He smiles taking a sip of his coffee.

I smile then take a bite if my sandwich little by little and gently.

*******

"Here are the files." I give the filled files to Kelvin.

"Thanks." He opens another drawer of his that says filled then puts the files I gave him in there.

"Sir I'm so sorry for how I behaved in the restaurant before." I sigh.

"I've forgiven you since and I was not even angry at you, I wanted to laugh but I just said to myself, it won't be nice to laugh when someone's really angry and serious." He laughs.

"Mr Kelvin.." 

"Kelvin." He interrupts me. "Calk me Kelvin." He begins to type on his laptop.

"Well it seems like I'm disturbing you already so I think I should just go to my office and start my business." I turn around to walk away.

"Stop." His voice stops me causing me to turn to look at him.

"I never told you to go, I never even said you were disturbing you, I find interest in what you're saying."

"Really?." I ask him then he nods his head.

"Can you tell me about your life?." He asks me.

"OK, well, um, I'm a poor girl who lives in a small home with my sister Josie, she's a big fan."

"Really?." He asks then I nod.

"So, my parents are dead so I made a vow to be rich, maybe my husband will be rich." I spill out my vow to him.

"My parents are dead also,well my Mom is dead." He smiles.

"I have a best friend, he's a big." I also spill that out to him.

"Are you guys dating?." He asks me looking interested in that.

"No." I quickly reply him.

"Well,let me tell you about my dumb sister Ariana who's in love with a man called Max, a poor man and he's ten years older tan her he's thirty three, well I don't find any fault in that as long as they love each other but this guy's going to dupe her,I warned her but she just shouts at me that I want to destroy her and I don't want her to get married to who she loves."

"Do you have a girlfriend?." I ask him then he begins to Itch his head.

"Um, well, no, no I don't have any." He smiles nervously but I don't care.

"Oh, how old are you?." I ask him.

"Twenty five." He quickly replies me. "And you?." 

"Twenty two." I smile then he closes his laptop even though he was not using it before.
