Coming back home after work, the first smell that pierced my sense organ was the new smell of refreshment, if felt cool and relaxing, everything still in order, but a changed look, I was really impressed by the look my eyes were taking in that I began to question myself whether I was in the right house or I was mistaken, I had to move back out of the door to see whether I was really at my door, sure it is, I wasn't mistaken, this was my home, no coincidences. I closed the door behind me as I gently began to take in the new look of environment before me, I was taken aback by the improvement, I haven't been in here much, but it feels like home, wondering what else really happened here.
I kept my satchel on the couch as I went in, begin to explore my home like I was a new tenant in the building. Out of shock, I picked my phone out of my pocket and called Miss Joseph.
“ Oh my God..... What have you done to my home?....”.
There was a long pause from her before she spoke in a low tone, “ I'm sorry Sir, I thought you might love it.....”, she spoke with fear in her voice.
“ You don't have to be sorry Lydia, I Love what I see.... It all feels like home right now, quite unbelievable.....”.
“ Thanks for the compliment Mr Williams ”.
“ Call me David ”.
That's the height of respect I don't usually give away to anyone, but this lady here deserves it, she just proved me wrong again for having any sign of a single doubt concerning her ability.
She was silent over the line, like she felt the height of respect I just have for her, she wanted to speak, but there's this crack in her voice like she just couldn't express her feelings or know what to say. I heard a loud sound on the background she was in like something fell heavily on the floor, a scream followed the disturbing sound, a scream that came from a voice that sounded quite tiny or something, I couldn't hear clearly.
“ I'm really sorry Mr Williams, but I have to go now, will get back to you.....”.
She disconnected the call. I know that something that might've happened over there might be quite serious, but I don't think it has anything to do with me, I was just still starstruck watching the new look of my home, the environment looking really comfortable that I am beginning to question myself why I never thought about this all this while.
Moving to the fridge, I could see the dinner that has already been prepared for me, I just have to warm them and get them ready to be eaten, I never knew life could get this easy, offering me more opportunities to work on my stuff, to something I like.
After I was done taking my bath in the morning and getting ready and about to leave, there was a knock on my door, I wasn't expecting anyone now, no kind of room service or visitor, I wonder who might be knocking so early, it's still 06:00 in the morning.
Opening the door, it was Miss Joseph, wow..... What is she doing here so early?, I welcomed her in, both of us greeting each other before I went to the mirror to fix my tie. 
“ Never expected to see you so early in the morning.....”.
“ Yeah..... But you're to get used to it from now on because it's a change in my schedule if I am to keep up with time, gives me the opportunity to work on your home before starting with office works, buys me more time to be of service to you rather than leaving in the middle of the day just to come handle your home stuffs during office hours ”.
That's so considerate of her, that never crossed my mind. I brought my satchel out, bringing out the documents that officially makes her my personal assistant after signing down those terms and conditions.
I gave her the documents to look into, in return, she offered me the package she came with, it's my breakfast, wow.... Almost forgot that I have even got to eat before leaving for my daily activity, best to eat well prepared ordered food than waste time preparing one, I rather go to office hungry than spend time preparing breakfast on this tight schedule of mine.
I kept the food on the table as I began to shove it down my throat, really delicious, she already knew the kind of meal I prefer, I don't eat ordinary stuff, really prefer natural plant based meal which offers me great nutritions to fuel myself up.
She was done before I could finish my meal. “ $150,000 annually?..... I wasn't expecting such a huge offer Mr Williams....”.
“ David ”.
I can see the emotions in her eyes like they really meant a lot to her, the normal offer I made her as a secretary was $55,000 annually, but her new wage is close to 3x more than her former.
“ I can't find words to tell you how pleased and greatful I'm about this new offer, I thought we decided I work as a temporary personal assistance for three months before we proceed with this.....”.
“ There's no need for that Lydia, you've already out done yourself and I really respect that.... I think I should give you more credit for your services more than I already do.....”.
She grinned listening to me say that, the smile reaching her eyes as she lost that confidence that was always there, looking down to hide her face from me.
“ You've to be quick and get back to the office soon, see you there Lydia....”.
