Chapter 14: 15.5°C
As I opened the door my eyes landed straight on his angry ones.
I gulped and he started coming straight to business
"Start with photocopying these documents. Once done take this file and get it typed without a single
typo error...complete this and come back in 1 hour..."
"Oh sorry 40 minutes...you already wasted 20 minutes coming upstairs"
I picked up the file and the first thing I decided to see was the last page..
200 pages
Oh god typing it in 40 minutes was next to impossible...
"You will find the laptop and photocopy machine in the room to your right ...get started.."
Without further adieu I started my task....
It was a thermal printer but that's the only thing I knew about it.
I placed the a4 size sheets in a bucket to it's side and tried to pick it's top
But the problem being that there was no top ... Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I circumcircled the machine trying to find the scanning screen but I couldn't find any....
10 minutes already passed...
My room was separated from his just by a glass wall...but the problem being I couldn't see him while he
could see me.
If he sees that I don't even know how to photocopy some papers...he will definitely embarrass me....
Instead of wasting more time on it I decided to do the other task...typing
40 minutes later.....
I had just typed 8 pages...just 8
And my fingers were already ready to break off...
Don't judge me...I don't use computer much...I couldn't even find some of the letters....so you know
where most of the time went.
My time was up and he entered
"Miss brown ...I hope you have at least photocopied till now?
"..eh....Andr-.."
"It's Sir for you Miss Brown...I don't think you are neither in a position nor status to call me by my pet
name"
"Ye..s .."
"No...I mean no Sir..."
"Actually......you see this machine...is very different....from the .....earlier...one..."
"Do I look look like I have time to listen to you bullsh** miss Brown...you completed your work or no?"
"...no...Sir...I haven't..."
He approached the Photostat machine and first turned on the power switch which I completely forgot....
Next he pressed a button and the top opened up....
What the hell!!
Was there a top cover...why didn't I see it..
He smirked at my shocked face and I felt my cheeks redden with embarrassment.
I wanted to become a rabbit and dig a deep hole now..
"How many pages have you typed....?"
"...I am almost ..halfway...."
I seriously wanted to laugh at my lie...in reality I was not even at the half of the half of the
half...ie...100..50...25...12...whatever...
"Oh really miss Brown.."
"Yes Sir"
I said trying to lie with confidence
He moved towards the laptop but I blocked his view...
I'll complete it in an hour sir...."
"You better or else you are not leaving this building till I get an email of the file.."
He was gone and my face lost all it's colour...
Few hours later
9:10 ....pm
I gained up speed with time
And automatically my fingers pressed the correct letter
Now just one last page was left....
But my back was next to breaking
My stomach growling
My eyes ready to burn
And my head ready to burst....
On completing the last page I got up from the seat but due to sudden movement my head felt dizzy and
I held the table for support.
On gaining my balance I moved out of my room to see the lights in other rooms were switched off...
Except Andro's office
He was sitting there holding a cup of coffee in his hand and looking through some papers.
As I entered he looked up and placed the cup down.
"I see you have mailed me the file...but you have made 25 typing mistakes in total...."
I just emailed him 5 min before ...how could he have detected all my mistakes....
"I am leaving ...you are to leave only after you correct those 25 mistakes..good night miss Brown..
How the hell will I detect them from 200 pages!!
He pulled his coat from his chair and left me gawking at his back....
30 min later.....
I was pissed.....
Till now I have only detected 5 of my mistakes....
Ahhhh!!
" Dear it's getting late..why don't you complete this work tomorrow?"
I looked up to see an uncle with light grey hair looking at me with concern.
His hands were holding multiple keys and his clothes told me he was one of the guards.
"Uncle actually Sir told me I can't leave till I have detected my mistakes in the file..."
"Which mistakes if I may ask my child?"
"Just some typing errors I did..."
"Oh...why don't you use auto check..."
"Auto check..."
I haven't heard of it before
"Here child let me show you..."
The uncle clicked an icon and magic happened..
All my mistakes got automatically corrected..
Wow!! I squeaked with happiness and uncle smiled...
But Andro could have done this in a second...why did he asked me to do it...unless he deliberately
wanted to over burden me.
He truly proved that I am an Idiot
Which now I believe I am....
Even uncle looked at me like he was surprised to know that a girl like me working in such a big office
didn't know of spell check.
As I made my way out of the building a new tension surfaced...
How will I reach home....
The streets were deserted...my head was dizzy...and my purse was empty...
Oh no I didn't carry cash....
In a hurry I forgot and I thought Andro will drive me back just like he took me..
But again I was wrong...
So with a heavy heart I started my journey southwards on foot
If my fingers were not enough I think my legs will also brake off once this 7 km journey ends.
Under freezing winds...wearing 3 inch heel....and with an already exhausted body I started my journey
to the AR Mansion..
I just hope this day ends soon
