Chapter 5: New Experience.

As I came to office, I saw that the door was already opened, I checked my wrist watch and saw that it's still my usual time arriving at the office, 06:30. I walked in and saw Miss Joseph already seated in her position, I can see her forehead from here and her laptop in place, she was digged in into her work, her movement too fast in the computer, handling her work like a pro.
I can see that she has already organized and cleaned the environment, everything in place. It's not yet time to begin work for the day, how come she was here before me, did she even go back home yesterday or she happened to sleep in my office?. She wasn't putting on same outfit as yesterday, that means she did went home, I wonder how it's possible for her to make it to the office before me, maybe, beginner's drive.
I walked to my door, that was when she noticed my presence, “ Good morning Sir.... Welcome to the office ”. Interesting line of word she got there, I just nodded my head gently, wondering how she came up with a catching headline.
I don't know what happened or how things changed, but the feeling out there and the feeling in here are totally different, they might've the same relaxing feeling in general, but the fact you walk into the zone which belongs to only you is much special, the smell of papers entering my nostril, information creating inside my head, I relaxed my shoulders with a smile on my face, welcome to the office David.
Dropping my bag at the seat beside the door where I can see then with just a glance, I got down on my seat, relaxing my back and stretching my fingers before pulling out my laptop from the drawer, what have I got today?. 
There was a knock which really took me by surprise, I am just new to this, sometimes I happen to forget that I have employed someone to work the secretary role. She came in, my eyes fixed on the door already, waiting for her to step in, she looked at me first, within the few short seconds, I can read in between the line, to see that she was probably giving me that look to see whether I was approachable for the moment or weather I have already kept my head occupied.
She came in, standing before my table, “ Sir, would it be best I hand you the schedule on a document or connect it to you through the computer?.....”. Wow, I never thought about that or saw it coming, which one would really be best for me?, I'm mostly on the screen, so it would be easier for me, but I have this love for whatever is in a paper document, feels more like a task to accomplish than always seating in front of the screen.
“ Submit it through paper sheets, always make it a weekly schedule, so I can plan myself well about it.....”, I commanded her. “ So, from my settings Sir, you probably won't be meeting anyone for the rest of the week, I am scheduling everything to the coming week, so you can have enough time for the meantime to get more words in your book....”. Somehow, that sounds more like a request than a given information. She walked out of my office after she was done with what she came for, but her words stuck inside my head.
I decided to get some rest, my brain needs it, it's almost getting to lunchtime and my stomach is already rumbling, asking for food, it's still 12:32, I am not usually this hungry so early, maybe it's because I worked more extra to my normal, I make sure that the least word I complete during my writing days are eight thousand words, but it's still noon and I have managed to complete my daily number of words, with much more hours to spare, meaning I would be adding more words into my book today after lunch.
I opened my door, stepping into the outer part of my office where her table was, she stood up, greeting me. I have one enemy which also happens to live up in my mind, curiosity. Despite having kept myself occupied since she left, I am still puzzled to know how she came to know about my reduced level of chapter publishing lately.
“ By what you said in the morning, I happened to understand you were trying to ask me a question or maybe wanted to ask for something that wasn't to be considered a question, rather a request.....”. I said to her, I don't possibly know whether she would understand all I just said right now, my words are not usually plain to understand when I speak, so I just hope she's one of those that gets me without further details.
“ You haven't been publishing as much chapters like you used to, I am a top fan too, never missed a single book from you, but have realized that you hardly put out chapters anymore, so I felt like it's because of your busy schedule, I felt like I had to start scheduling your meetings from the coming week, allowing you more time to rest and also dive in into your books.....”.
“ That sounds pretty quiet selfish to me, but the advantage part of it is that you know what you want and you're willing to make it a success by putting in an effort towards it, that sounds impressive though, but never move ahead of yourself next time, but you make such a decision again, make sure that I am aware of it.....”, I cautioned her, letting it serve as a warning, but not in a rude way.
“ Get me lunch by 13:00 I am pretty craving for lunch today, take this card, use it to get me whatever I request from you personally....and don't forget, get me something healthy, thanks...”.
