THINGOLUHLE MTHETHWA
I don't know how l ended up sleeping but l assure it was torture l slept on the cold floor imagine ! Anyways l took a quick shower slipping into yesterday's clothes . l check out of the hotel then Uber to the mall to get some few clothing's before heading to the apartment . l like the apartment actually good for one person the lounge area is big then the kitchen is just exquisite and the bathroom is connected to my bedroom so l paid the rent straight before changing into a high waist jeans , polo neck , denim jacket and my knee boots . l put on my doek then head out ubering again to MABASO HOLDINGS .
l arrive , l take a deep breath before entering into the company . Heads turn as soon as the sound of my boots are heard l get nasty looks especially from the receptionist Kedibone oh the girl hates my guts she thinks lm busy fucking around with Mr Mabaso the boss were as others hate me because they think the boss favours me . Well l can't blame them because l know my job very well .
l sway my hips getting into the lift and as it was about to close someone says
"STOP THE LIFT" and l do , guess what it's the boss himself Phumlani Mabaso .
He enters and l hold my breath this man is intimidating l can't even look at him in the eye , l feel like a pigeon.
Phumlani : Oh lf it isn't Miss Mthethwa .
Thingo (clears throat ) : B-oss
Phumlani :what brings you here .
Ah how can he ask me that l work here njena .
Thingo :uh -l came to explain why lve been absent .
Phumlani : Why ...
He says walking closer to me , l can feel his gaze on me and my eyes are glued to his well polished shoes.
Thingo : had s-some family issues to sort out .
Phumlani : Really ?
He says , his hot breath on my neck . l close my eyes taking in his scent since he was so close to me ... before l could even answer the list stops . Phumlani walks out first leaving me there then l remember l should be walking out to . l follow him behind . tf just happened back there ?
THINGOLUHLE MTHETHWA
"Good morning boss. You have a meeting with the auditor's by in an hour and you'll also have a meeting with the project manager at the site by two o'clock "
That's Mr Mabaso's P.A Naledi . He was just nodding walking fast it's even hard to catch up with him .
Phumlani: ls that all .
He says now standing at the door of his office .
Naledi : Y-yes that's all (fixing her spectacles)
Phumlani : thank you .
He says opening the door to his office and Naledi walks away . I follow behind the boss and he places his briefcase on the table before walking to the window to face the view of the busy city with his hands embedded in his pants .
Phumlani : I don't have the whole Miss Mthethwa .
Thingo : sorry , l was saying l had family issues to sort out and l'll be back to work by Monday .
Phumlani : Are you the the only one in this company who has family issues to fix?
Thingo : No bu-
Phumlani (interrupting her) : Besides who did you inform about this problem Miss Mthethwa , weren't you supposed to report this to me first before disappearing like the owner of the company ? !
Thingo : My apologies Mr Mabaso (sighs)
He turns to face he his face burning on me .
Phumlani : Apology not accepted infact you won't be starting work by Monday you shall start now... and please excuse me l have a meeting to prepare for .
I raise my head to face him and he has the most serious face ever l wonder if he even knows how to joke around . l decide to nod turning on my boots before l open the door ...
Phumlani : Make sure this never happens again .
it's what he says , before l slam the door walking out . l breath out Mr Mabaso is a pain in the *** nxx. l walk to my office yeah it's on the same floor as his .And the files on my desk ? you would swear lm some kind of P.A guess l have some work to do and a lot of it .
After a few hours lm done with everything l even skipped lunch . l check the time on my phone and it's already around two o'clock .I won't be seating here for any minute longer l mean l done with everything so l walk out of my office heading to the lift.
l walk past the receiption and Kedibone bursts in laughter .
Kedi: Helang gwana wa Barack Obama o ya kae ?
l continue walking not minding her.
Kedi : Ebile keng ? you think you the presidents child you can just walk in and out as you please . l thought workers are supposed to know out by five !
Thingo : They should knock of by five you say ? what do you expect me to do if lm done doing what was expected of me and besides you a receiption worker you won't understand not that lm mocking your line of work . But baby girl stay in your lane you don't want to get on my nerves nxx!
I leave her there with her mouth hanging , For sure she's suprised because lve never acted towards her shity behavior but seems like l gave her the wrong impression .lm not one to be tested .l walk out and Uber back home the perks of not having friends you have your own space and lm planning on watching some movies , have some snacks after all the weather is agreeing !
