His Maid's Son novel Chapter 7

After he was done, he called in a lady named Amy who works in the Hr. She is supposed to orient me and get my contract ready for signing. After that, I am supposed to find my way back to the twentieth floor where I will start familiarizing myself with the job.

Talking to Amy was super easy because she had this sweet face to go with her good nature. She showed me around the premises and we got talking and I already like her. She is a bit nosy as well but who isn't? I mean there is this moment when she asked me if I have a girlfriend and I told her no, and she went ahead to ask if I have a boyfriend and I choked on nothing. I had enough drama coming out and I am wary of people now. After more drilling, she explained she was no homophobe and since our boss is openly out, no employee would dare discriminate.

That was a very interesting piece of information, I hadn't known. It doesn't mean I will go jumping into his bones but at least it's a relief to know I wouldn't get picked on because of my sexuality. I used her big mouth to my advantage and fished for more about our boss, wisely of course. I found out he was twenty-eight, which makes Ma's assumption correct. He was also once married at a younger age, though he is divorced now. His mother was dead, and he was estranged from his dad but no one knows why. When I realized I was prying too much and Amy was just dishing out the info with no qualms I felt guilty. What a conscience!

It was unexpected when Amy told me that Mr. Alexander is a very strict boss because he had been the opposite of me...

According to her, he does treat his employees fairly, but in return he expects perfection. And it's understandable, truly. With the kind of salaries he is paying and not to mention the benefits, it does entitle him in a way.

But the Alexander she was talking about and the one I had just met, were nothing alike. And I didn't comment on it.

When she asked me how I know Mr. Alexander I just told her that my mom was his new housekeeper and that's how we met. I shrugged the whole thing because i don't know if for sure she is as nice as she seems or just another loose mouth looking for hot gossip.

By the time I got to sign my contract, I was already exhausted from rounding aimlessly with Amy who kept stopping to talk to people in the name of introducing me. Checking my watch I realized it had been almost three hours. The Hr. manager who happened to be Amy's boss kept glancing at me suspiciously and later on when I asked Amy about it she said it's because Mr. Alexander leaves the recruitment process to the Hr.

When I was done signing, Amy accompanied me to the staff cafeteria where I had a hotdog and some soda before she escorted me back to the twentieth floor.

The kind of happiness I felt when I sat on my designated desk couldn't be masked.

Mr. Alexander gave me some easy tasks to do, which didn't require prior training. I was currently sorting through some documents, color-coding them according to urgency. He notified me that real work will start tomorrow as he will be training me on how to run his life.
