The next morning I woke early, took a five minute shower, ate a banana, then rushed out of the apartment so I could get to the subway station on time. The company I worked for is in Manhattan. I had to get there either by subway, or bus. Sometimes I use a cab. I much prefer the train it's cheaper and I like riding in trains. I was at my office building at the same time as every other day, since I first started working here half a year ago.
I smiled and politely greeted my coworkers when I entered the elevator. My office is on the second to the last floor, the penthouse is the last, it's on the tenth floor. My office is on the same floor as the Ceo of this company, which is on the 9th floor. I have been to the penthouse a few times with Jules.

I heard it belongs to Nicklaus Montgomery,he is our CEO Juliette Montgomery's husband. There's gossip that he still comes here. That the penthouse was where he lived before their marriage, when he was a bachelor. I don't know if it's the truth or not and I don't care.

While I'm curious about it, I'm not one to stick my nose in other people's business. After I got off the elevator. I said hello to Jules' secretary Maggie, before I dropped my things in my office, I found Mrs Juliette Montgomery had already arrived.

She'd ask me to call her Jules the very first time I started working for her. I smiled, she's a good boss and I like her. She's never this early though. While I have never seen a woman who works as hard as she did, it is true that she also doesn't always come to the office this early.

There's no doubt the woman is a workaholic. But that didn't stop her from being a good wife and a mother to her five years old daughter. She told me that she couldn't let her nanny do all her motherly duties for her. That's why she sometimes gets her daughter ready for school in the morning, picks her up when school is over, then has lunch with her. She's a preschooler.

That's when the nanny comes in and takes her home. Then Jules gets to come back to the office,until it's time to go home. Most times she stays here until midnight and sleeps in the penthouse.

Really! I admire the woman,how she could multitask and not drop down, was beyond me. I couldn't even imagine how hard that must be. At the age of 30 she's a CEO of a Millions dollar company,and has already made a name for herself. She's a mother, and a wife, and here I am at the age of 24 and barely keeping my neck above water.

l would be really happy if I had my own home, a car and a few hundred thousand dollars when I'm her age. I said hi to Maggil. I drop my bag, coffee and paper bag with my donut inside, on my desk in my cubicle. Then walk around to her office to greet her and show her the new designs for the upcoming bridal fashion week our company organizes every year. This would be my first time participating and I've spent sleepless nights sketching on my sketch book then researching on the right fabrics. I take my laptop with the designs to show her the final outcome, if she approves it then I would work together with the professionals at the sewing department to make sure we get all the teeny tiny details right.
I knocked.
“You can come in Andrea.” she said and motioned me inside. I walked in and stood in front of her big mahogany desk,with various files open atop it, her tablet was on as well and on the table. Also she's checking on some fabrics on her desk. Her office is very big and luxuriously furnished with beautiful furniture, artworks that scream wealth. And there are mannequins with some of the recent wedding dresses on them.

“Good morning Jules, I see you're early today or is it that you didn't go home yesterday?” I said as I remembered her dress from yesterday when she video called me. She rubs her forehead with elegant manicured fingers that were painted red.

“Morning Andy, no I didn't go home. There's so much work to do before the Clark's are here to sign up for the new contract. I've been up since four this morning trying to get everything sorted out before they arrived.” she said tiredly, the poor woman is exhausted.
195Please respect copyright.PENANAKbL0HSdPdD
“You look drained Jules, you need a shut eye, it won't do you any good to collapse in the middle of the meeting. Let me bring you some hot tea,I bought donuts, have some. Take a nap, then when you wake up, shower and you will be able to think with a clear head.” I started over to get her the offered tea,I heard her muttering.

“Aren't you here to show me the final designs?”
195Please respect copyright.PENANAY2wXS1AT7F
“Yes, but you're exhausted Jules, have something then I will show you and get your approval before I take it downstairs,let me bring you the green tea first.”
195Please respect copyright.PENANA4U4n7izr4Q
“But there's still so much work to be done Andrea,and I don't want tea. I need something strong, black coffee would be best.” I get to the coffee machine with the different varieties of coffee granules, and teas. I take a mug and make her tea, then proceed to add in a little sugar and some milk. I stopped by my desk, carried my coffee and donuts then entered Mrs Montgomery's office.

As I suspected she'd gone back to work on her desktop. I shake my head, she didn't take me seriously, but it is part of my job to take care of my boss. Not really but I made it my job to take care of her since she befriended me. So I turned off the computer and forced her to get up. I know she won't lose any of her work, the company has a backup for every working computer, and her computer automatically saves her work.

“You know what?” I gently placed my coffee on the table, and donuts then snatched the mug of tea I'd recently handed her, from her hand.
195Please respect copyright.PENANAQFGak2qiab
“What?” She asked confusedly, I smiled.
“We are going to the little cafe downstairs, where we can get real food inside your stomach.” I said, dragging her out of her office.

“Miss Andrea, you will seize this nonsense at once, I'm your boss, and we haven't the time to go gallivanting through the street. I have a deadline to meet.” she said stubbornly.
195Please respect copyright.PENANABAOw2i9HLi
“It's not nonsense, and we are not gallivanting, we are getting you breakfast, and yes I know you are my boss and I wish for you to remain so. But that won't be possible if you drop dead due to overexhaustion.” She only answered with an insufferable grunt, I smiled victoriously.
