Chapter 2 - His Past (2/2)

After she sat down, he asked her name, ”May I know your name?”

”Stella. Stella Martin, Sir!”

”Tell me about yourself Ms. Stella.” He asked her while going through her resume. He was impressed by her achievements so far. She came from a prestigious business college of Berlin. She was the top student in her class, though she doesn't look like one of those nerds. She had worked before in two different companies for around two years and she was just 20 years old herself. He was impressed by her sincerely.

”Excuse me, Sir?”

His thoughts were interrupted by her. That was then he realized that he was lost in his own thoughts while she had probably answered his questions. ”I am sorry, I am not feeling well today. But I am truly impressed by your achievements.” He said after clearing his throat.

”Thank you, Sir. I'm honored.” She replied.

”Miss Stella, if you don't mind can I ask you some business related questions?” He asked her with a faint smile on his face to which she replied, ”Sure.”

After asking her some questions for around 15 minutes or so, he was satisfied with all of her answers. He stood up, walked around the table, extended his arm while congratulating her, ”Congratulations Miss Stella. You can join in from tomorrow. I know it's on a short notice but I really need a P.A these days. I hope you don't mind.”

She stood up and took his hand, giving it a firm handshake. ”Thank you! And it's no problem at all. You can just call me Stella, Sir.”

He realized now that even after wearing heels that were around 3 inches or more, she was still a head smaller than him only reaching up to his shoulders. He smiled politely and replied, ”The pleasure is all ours Miss Stella. I mean Stella.”

They drew their hands back at the same time. Adam told her to ask about some details from Bella on her way out which will help her to settle in easily. Bella was one of the secretaries on the top floor outside his office and the only one who didn't get on his nerves more than that was required.

After hearing her yes in reply, he showed her the way outside and even held the office door as the door was a heavy wooden door, and also, so that she doesn't stumble upon her heels.
