Chapter sixteen
You have a job to do and deliver it to me by Monday.
– And what work would that be, Mr. Armand? Benjamin asked curiously.
– A spreadsheet of the company’s balance sheet to be shown at the meeting on Monday. I want you two to make this spreadsheet and deliver it to me on Monday morning, the one who delivers the file will have the position of financial executive.
Tul and Benjamin were quite surprised, but mainly Tul who wasn’t very sure about making that document.
– As you wish, sir, I can make the spreadsheets and deliver them on Monday. Benjamin said quietly.
– Oh of course Armand, I’ll also do the spreadsheet and it will be perfect, you’ll see.
– Then give it to me on Monday, and good luck.
– But may I ask you a question first, Mr. Armand. – Tulio asked worriedly.
– Of course Tulio.
– Ah, if one of us does not present a good spreadsheet, what will happen?
– Tulio will be fired. Armand answered seriously.
– No sir, Armand for all that is most sacred, I can not lose this job, I need to pay my bills.
– You’re wasting time Tulio, and look what time you arrived, as Martin’s private secretary, don’t you think you’re too lazy in your duties? Martin can even give you time off, but not Tulio, I want people committed to Beaty Power Man, if you can’t be committed, leave the company now.
Tulio, was silent and had no answers.
– Calm down, Armand, he’s going to make the spreadsheet, isn’t it Tulio? Martin asked his friend.
– I’ll do my best Sir Armand.
– So start, you are wasting time, I want this document on Monday morning at 9 am before the meeting.
– Yes sir Armand, excuse me. – Benjamin said calmly.
Benjamin ran out to his small room, and started to get nervous, because his cell phone was ringing.
– Damn who’s calling me.
”Hey Benjamin Leroy, are you going to the club with us or not? ”
– Who is it ?
– I’m your friend Ron, don’t you remember that you were supposed to call us to arrange the ballad tomorrow.
“Ahh hi Ron, it’s okay, of course I will, I said I would.”
– Aren’t you going to ask your dad for permission? said Ron, who was smirking down the line.
– I don’t need permission Ron, I’m going tomorrow, what time are you going to pick me up?ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
– Tomorrow I’ll be at 9 pm and I’m going to take that friend I told you about, he’s dying to meet you, Ron.
Benjamin almost jumped for joy when Ron said that a guy wanted to meet him.
– Ahh sure, so I’ll wait for you at 9 pm tomorrow. Gotta hang up Ron, I’m working.
– That’s right, my friend, tomorrow I’ll be at your house.
Benjamin turned off the cell phone, not holding back with joy, but he thought.
– Damn, I hope mom can convince dad to let me out tomorrow. Oh shit, I need to review the company’s files to make the spreadsheet, but that won’t be difficult, I have everything under control.
Later in the company.
Oliver was in his room, and looked at the clock.
– Benjamin, can I come in?
– Oh sure boss.
– Oh hi, you’ve been locked in there for a long time, and it’s already 7 o’clock at night, won’t you go away?
– Our Lord Oliver, I didn’t even realize that time had passed, what a head of mine.
Benjamin let out that grin that showed all his teeth full of braces and adjusted his glasses.
– So, this afternoon, you can go home, I don’t want my secretary tired.
Benjamin let out another goofy laugh.
– Oh, Oliver, don’t worry, I’m not tired, on the contrary, I feel in a good mood, oh I’m done.
– Do you want me to take you home?
Benjamin almost let out a whoop of joy, but he controlled himself, adjusting his glasses again, tucking his hair behind his ear and said.
– No need Mr. Oliver, I’m going by bus, I don’t want to bother.
– Don’t think like that, Benjamin, I’ll do it, question, I’ll take you home, I’m leaving too, it doesn’t cost me anything.
Benjamin got a little nervous, swallowed and thought.
“My goodness, me alone in Mr Oliver’s car, my God”
– So let’s go ?
– Yes Mr. Oliver, thank you, I’ll turn off the computer and get my things and we’ll go.
Benjamin turned off the computer, took the files and his folder saving everything, he started to shake, he was nervous and needed to control himself.
– Ready Mr. Oliver, we can go.
– Call me Oliver, Benjamin.
– As you wish Oliver.
So the two left the office and when Benjamin was arriving at the reception with Oliver, he saw the two receptionists who were also leaving, one of them approached Oliver and pushed Benjamin and said.
– Hi Oliver, all right, are you already leaving?
– Yes Lisa, I’m going home. You can go too.
– Oh Oliver, you wouldn’t give me a ride.
Benjamin just listened and thought.
“Damn, that slut will surely take her home, I think I’d better get my wallet”
– Oh, Lisa, I’m going to be in debt this time, I’m going to take my secretary Benjamin home, and it’s against the grain, if you don’t mind I’m leaving, have a good night, let’s go Benjamin.
And he left that mocreia, without even giving her time to speak. I loved her angry face.
I got into Oliver’s car, and what a machine, I was impressed with the car. It was a beautiful black Mercedes Bem Slc convertible. He took the key, opened the door, and asked me to come in, when I looked at him putting on the black glasses I almost had an attack, he looked beautiful and charming.
