I sit in the office chair while he stands to look at my actions. I can see he doesn't look pleased with me sitting in his chair but he covers it well with a blank face but fails obviously.
"Sit"
As he sits in the chairs in front of me separated by a desk, he looks me in the eyes not saying anything.
"Don't you wanna know why I'm here?"
By my question, he relaxed but still not fully. I try to hide my confusion not getting what makes him not relax in my presence. For him, I may look like a big question mark or my poker face works too well, making me look like someone ready to kill a person as he squirms uncomfortably in his chair.
He soon after answers with a 'yes' so I start to tell him that since the last quarters have been bad and the company didn't succeed to reach the profit that was expected, I personally would be taking over as of tomorrow morning. At my last statement, he was shocked and he didn't try to hide it.
Seconds later after giving him some time to come over his shock, I told him to have his office cleared and a new personal assistant ready for me by tomorrow. He took the information well and soon after I told him that a meeting would take place by the end of the next week for me to get a better update of the company's condition. While talking I told about the new changes that soon would take place in the next few weeks which he looked pleased to hear, showing me he was the right for the position as SI-CEO (stand-in CEO).
We then began discussing what would happen for me while being here and what changes I've planned for the company to go through in the future.
Hours later and it started to get late, we agreed to discuss further the next day and for me to meet my new assistant. While walking to the door at the end of his office, my soon-to-be office, I knew I had one more thing to say before heading home.
While holding the door half-open I turned my head to look at Mr. Harris, who now was packing some papers we had been looking at minutes earlier.
"Mr. Harris?".
"Yes?". He looked at me with a questioning look, stopping what he had been doing and know gave me his full attention.
"I want the receptionist fired, I don't like her". And with that, I left.
