~The Boss and Me~3

Chapter 3

Monday morning arrived and I had to go to work again. After finishing some documents I went to Alex’s office to give it to him. "Is there anything else I can do?"
"Yes, you can start by fixing this mess you made!" he yelled throwing a book at me.
His voice boomed and he gave me a fright, I quickly picked up the book and rushed out to go figure out what went wrong.

I can’t believe it, this wasn’t even my mistake. I just used the information he gave me to do the work, but the information he gave me was wrong! And now I’m in trouble because of his fault! I’m going to his office right now, I’m so mad!
"Excuse me sir, but I actually did my work correctly, you just gave me the wrong information." "What are you trying to say, that I can’t do my work?"
"No that is not what I’m saying; I’m just saying that I received incorrect information."
"Give me that" he said grabbing the book from my hands "Let me do it, I can see that you don’t know what you’re talking about"
"Fine then you can see for yourself that it was in fact you that made the mistake"
"We’ll see about that, now get out and go do your work" I stomped out of his office furious at him.
Holy crap how can one person be such an idiot! Why can’t he just accept that he can also make mistakes! Why does he have to blame it on me!

The following day I was sitting at my desk when Lester came in. "Hey Kylie"
"Hi" I said smiling at him. He came to me and sat on my desk. "So do you like it here?"
"Oh yes, I’ve always wanted to work here and I’m so glad that I got the job."
"You had to, you’re perfect for the job" "Thank you" I said feeling flattered. "Hey do you want to join me for lunch later? "Uh…sure. Why not."
"Great" he said smiling and then walked to his office"

I met Lester down stairs and from there on we went to a restaurant a few blocks away. We had a real good time, talking and laughing. We were just in time for work. Just as we were getting out of the car, Alex drove in and parked next to us. We both greeted him, but he only greeted Lester and ignored me, giving me a very disapproving look. What could I have done this time?

I really started to love this job. I liked the work and I became good friends with everyone in the building, especially with Kyle, Lisa and Lester. Oh and missus Brigitte; the old cleaning lady, she was so sweet. It’s just a shame that Alex is so rude. I don't understand what his deal is with me, but it has to stop. I usually make friends so easily. What have I ever done to him? He keeps treating me badly and it just gets worse everyday. I don't think it’s a good thing if your boss doesn't like you...Maybe I should just try to get him to accept me or earn his respect or something.
I’ll try my best…

I woke up the next day and took a hot shower. Standing in the mirror I thought to myself: mission impossible 4, here I come.
From today on I am going to try and convince Alex that I wasn’t so bad after all. I don’t think it’s going to work, but I have to try.
I arrive extra early for work and see that Alex is already there. I walk in and greet him cheerfully with the biggest smile on my face. "Good morning sir" "Morning"
"Would you like me to bring you some coffee?" "Yes. Please" I made a cup of coffee and took it to him. He took it from me and took a sip. "Would you mind completing these for me today?" He said handing me some forms. "Yes, of course"
I took the forms and walked out. He could’ve said thank you.
