CHAPTER 5: MEETING THE BIG BOSS

ERINE

I was in the kitchen washing dishes when David came in to me.

"Erine, our boss wants to meet you in his office but before that you have to bring him his foods and wine. Chef Bob will cook first then you bring it to him." he said. "Hey, you, okay?" he asked as he patted my shoulder.

'Wait, what did he say? Our boss wants to meet me? As in me? Why?'

I was kind of shock when he was talking about me to the boss office. I was somewhat scared… scared? I do not know but I have not seen the big boss.

Knowing that he owns this club and other businesses outside it is scary. I imagine his face or outer looks might be in a gang. 'Oh God, what am I going to do?'

Even in the Diaz Foods I did not meet the owner.

"Huh, yeah I am okay. Wait, Dave, is our boss kind of scary looks like in a gang that I might afraid to face?" I asked as I was playing with my fingers.

David laughed at me. Destiny might tell him about my personality when it comes to meeting new people. "You will be fine, do not worry." He patted me again and walked out from the kitchen.

---

My hands were sweating from nervousness as I carried the tray with the orders of our boss. I put my right thumb to scan to the other door that access to the boss office in the kitchen area.

No one allowed to use it except few people int the kitchen. I am one of them unless it is necessary just like now.

Entering the access door, you will never know it is a door because it was well hidden. Not all knew about the existence. Chef Bob gave me a code before I put my thumb to scan.

Not even Destiny knew or any old staffs except Chef Bob and the two staffs in the kitchen. They are not allowed going inside the kitchen area actually.

Off limits to go inside, they were only outside the window of the kitchen to give their orders. Well, aside, of course, David, I asked Chef Bob why he told me.

"Why are you telling me this stuff, Chef Bob? I am just new here." I say while he was preparing the foods in the tray.

"Well, it is rare that the boss asked you to bring it with you. Therefore, I guess you can be trusted. I know you can be trusted." He smiled at me.

When reached the upstairs I saw a masculine man standing outside the door so I am guessing that would be the big boss office.

The man seems well-trained military with his body structure, of course, with rich owner of many businesses who would like to be your bodyguard in a thin body.

I laughed silently thinking of my stupid thoughts. I walked closer and I cleared my throat then I saw the man's face was serious and greeted him.

"Hello, am, I was sent to bring this to the big boss." I said in polite.

He pushed some button then it unlocked. 'Aahh, it was automated lock from the inside.' That was I talking in my mind. Of course, I would not say it aloud. I still keep my ignorance in me.

The bodyguard helped me opened the door widely as I let myself in. I was walking towards him without looking his face. But I did not bow down my head rather use my eyes to look down as I walked forward.

I am scared, you know. I am scared to look if he is like in movies that most own a club that might be old and scary one with lots of tattoos in his body.

As I reached his desk, I could feel my hands were cold but I still control my emotions.

"G-good evening Boss" I greeted him with respect then I looked at him. I was in shock when our eyes met. I could not move or say anything after I greeted him good evening.

I could feel my heartbeat beats so fast. 'What the fudge!'

I did not expect that the owner of the club was just a little year older than I am. I think he is just in late 40's have not yet reach 50.

There was spark when we looked at each other as if the whole moment stops. He has attractive eyes and Asian eyes too like me.

However, his feature was mix half-Asian and half-foreign I do not know which countries.

I could not tell if he has six packs abs but I know he still do some exercises.

Unlike me, I do not have time to do such thing now that I am getting older. I am not fat but I gain weight quite a bit but it is not grossly to look my body. I do not have flat stomach or something it can still manage to the level of that I can carry my clothes well.

'What am I thinking right now?' I am not here to find a lover knowing my age. I know I do not have strong sex appeal and I am aware of that. That is why until now I do not have other men with me after my first love.

I am contented if this is God plan for me to be single forever and I will accept it.

Right now, this beautiful living things in front was beyond. I do know how to appreciate good looking person too. But my big boss is superb.

My heart was ready to take off and scream that he is the most gorgeous guy in the universe.

'Oh, stop it, Erine, you did not come here to be a crazy fan in front of him.'

I was blushing, thinking those stupid things in my mind. This is not me. I am not like this.
