His Beautiful Addiction

Chapter 419: Eight Ways to Sunday

"You have to clear your table before leaving, you know you can't leave your unfinished work piled up for a new employee, unless you do not want to get paid…"

"Don't worry, Sir, I will clear my table before I leave."

Ari smiled brightly at him then turned around and left. Her co workers knew she had been searching for another job and when she broke the news to them, they were happy for her.

Ari breathed as she stared at the pile of work sitting prettily on her desk, it would take at least three days to finish it all, that was if she worked overnight, but she did not mind as long as she was going to Greenfield the next week.

Monday came sooner than expected. Ari has used her weekend to shop for clothes and new shoes.

She wanted to appear her best on the first day of work.

That morning, she put on a black pencil skirt over a pink silk long sleeve shirt. Ari stood in front of her mirror as she put on her nude heels and she smiled at her reflection, then completed her outfit with her googles.

She could see without them, but she needed them to work.

Picking her bag, she stepped out of the house.

Ari hummed as she drove to Greenfield, she had never felt this happy about going to work before. She smiled when her eyes caught the high rise building with the inscription - Greenfield Corp.

Her fingers danced around her steering as she drove into the underground parking lot.

Before she came out of her car, she took a quick selfie and posted on her Instagram.

'First day of work, super excited!'

Putting her phone into her bag, she walked into the company.

"Hello, I'm a new employee, where is the…"

"New employee, welcome, second floor, HR department." The receptionist said before Ari could complete her sentence. Ari nodded with a smile and walked towards the elevator.

When she got to the department, she stopped by the door. It was eight am and yet everyone was so busy, by eight in her former company, some staff had not even arrived, now she saw why Greenfield was one of the best in the city.

"Who are you looking for?" A male staff asked Ari when he saw her staring mindlessly. Ari straightened herself and walked to him,

"Good morning, I am a new employee, I was told to come here."

"Oh newbie, you are quite late."

Ari was stunned. Late? The time was barely 5 minutes past eight, how was she late?

"You were told to come by 8, what is it by your time?"

"Um… five minutes past eight…"

"Past eight, you should have been here by 7am, your mates are already being briefed, did you not know the company you applied to work for?"

Ari could not believe what was going on. She has struggled to wake up early so she could be there on time. She did not even have breakfast and yet she was being reprimanded for coming a few minutes past the time?

No, she actually arrived by 7:57 but the trip up the elevator and standing mindlessly in front of the office had taken most of the time.

Ari breathed in,

"I'm sorry for coming late, I promise it will not happen again."

The man nodded, "Don't worry, you are forgiven since it is your first day, join the others."

Ari looked in the direction he pointed and she saw two men standing and talking to a lady and walked to them.

To think that they had employed only three people from the over fifty people she had seen on the day of the interview.

Ari couldn't believe she also got employed. Smiling, she joined the two men.

They greeted her as the lady who was speaking to them gave her another round of reprimanding for being late. She went back to what she had said earlier for the sake of Ari who was just coming.

"You'll know the rest in your various departments, but for now, the CEO wants to meet with you."

Ari looked at the woman. She had heard of the CEO but she had never seen him. Rumors had it that he was young and already on Forbes under 30. Well, that was one of the perks of being born into a wealthy family. She thought as she followed the lady to the elevator, adjusting her goggles which titled as she walked.

In the office, Xavier sat with crossed legs, a smirk on his chin as he stared at his computer. He had never been this excited about work, to think he came to the company by 8 am!

Even his employees were shocked when they saw him.

He couldn't wait to see the reaction on her face when she realized he was her boss.

A few minutes later, Owen, his Pa knocked on the door;

"Boss, the HT is here with the new employees."

Owen said as he entered the office,

"Okay, send them in."

Owen nodded and left the office. A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door.

Ari straightened her skirt as she walked into the office. Her eyes looked around the office. It was by far bigger than any office she had seen, and tastefully decorated too.

Her eyes glanced at the table of the CEO as they approached.

His chair was turned around so he was facing the wall, her eyes fell on the nameplate which had his name written in fine cursive,

CEO, Xavier Howells.

"Sir, the employees are here." The woman who led them up said and that moment, he turned around to face them.

Ari could have sworn she was dreaming, she could have betted that her eyes were seeing things.

That the man sitting in front of her, wearing a smirk on his chin was not the man she had fucked eight ways to Sunday and chased out of her house the next morning. But he was!

She had a one night stand with her CEO!

"Holy fuck!"
