MARIAH
I've been working at my own desk for hours. Yeah, I said it, my own desk. But guess what, I don't have my own office. I have to be in the same office with my boss, since I'm his 'assistant'.
And these stupid words he said, "Since you are my assistant, wherever I go, you follow. You heard me?"
'What the hell? Do I look like a dog on a damn leash?'
I sighed. I looked at the time and it was almost 1 o'clock. Damn! I'm hungry. I'm feeling for pizza, even though like five minutes ago I was feeling for lasagna. I'm not pregnant, I just love food! My parents still ask me why I'm still so damn skinny. Even, I still want to know.
I decided to take a break from all this hard work and go for lunch. Food, here I come! I was about to walk out when...
"Where do you think you're going?" A deep cold voice to me.
I turned around to face him. "I'm going to lunch, Mr. Michaelis."
"Call me Liam. And I didn't dismiss you."
"What am I a school student now? And you're saying that I should starve until you decided to dismiss me?"
"Exactly." He stood up from his chair. "Come on, let's go. I have decided to dismiss you."
"Oh, goodie." I said with a hint of sarcasm.
Me and 'Liam' walked inside the elevator and Liam pushed button to go to the car park floor. It was dead silence in the elevator.
'Somebody kill me now!'
"What would you like for lunch?" Liam asked while looking at his phone.
"....Pizza." I answered.
"Pizza? You should not be eating junk food with that body of yours."
"My personal life is none of your business." I said then turning my head to the wall of the elevator. I heard Liam chuckled of what I just said.
The elevator door opened. Finally! We walked out the elevator and simply follow him like a royal dog. After that nice walk, we reached infront of a BMW X6. Holy shit!
Liam looked at me with an amuse look
Liam looked at me with an amuse look. "What?" I asked.
"Get in." He said. I simply follow instructions and get in the car, like an discipline child. Curses!
When I got in the car, I was...shocked. It was so unbelievable from the inside.
"Amazing, is it?" Liam said like he was full of himself. And I'm sure he is.
I puffed. "I seen better cars." I said while sitting back and folded my arms. I lied about seeing better cars, but who cares.
Liam shook his head and started the engine. I put on my seat belt. As we drove down the road, it was quiet, too quiet. I just stared out the window enjoying the view.
"Where do you want to go, so you can eat your pizza?" Liam asked me.
"....Pizza Hut." I said while staring out the window.
After that, it was dead silence.

After that awkward car ride, we were inside Pizza Hut. Why Pizza Hut, because no one out pizzas the hut.
"What kind of pizza do you want?" Liam asked me.
'What kind of pizza do I want?...Right now I'm feeling for mashed potatoes. What the hell!' I mentally slapped myself with that thought of mashed potatoes.
"I would like the Hawaiian pizza." I said to Liam. The image of that pizza appeared in my head. The pineapple, pepperoni, Canadian Bacon and that melted cheese. Heaven!
I mentally slapped myself again. When I came back to earth from daydreaming about food, I noticed Liam was not infront of me anymore, but infront of the counter.
"When did he.... never mind." I looked for a free table, and spotted one at window. Yes!
I have a little seat and waiting for at least 15 minutes. Why you have to wait 15 minutes for a pizza?! 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. Really? Slogans, right now?! And why car insurance slogans? I don't even have a car!
I glance over and saw Liam walking with the box of pizza and two cups of soda. Please be Sprite. He first put the cups on the table, which by the way, I took one and take a sip. Hmm... Mountain Dew. Liam was seated and when he opened that box, heaven! I know I'm over exaggerating, but damn!
And then it hit. I'm having lunch with my boss. But I still got free food. But still, he's my boss.
I'm just going eat like a proper lady. And how do a proper lady eat pizza? From the crust or the point edge? I'm just gonna eat it my way from the point edge. But I'm gonna eat it, slowly.

After that awkward lunch we made it back to work.
"Thanks for the free lunch." I said to Liam while making our way to the office.
"To me, it was not free." Liam said.
"Well, it was to me. After all, you paid for everything."
"And that is why I'm taking out of your payment."
"What?!"
"I'm just kidding." I side glared at him. After that, it was the most awkward day at work.
