Chapter 4: THE JOB
Early the next morning at 6am, Jo woke up from a disturbing sleep. Nightmare of horrible accident that took away her mother's life. A hit and run. She found Peter was embracing her and consoling her as she sob. After recovering, "How come you are here?" Jo ask Peter. "You were screaming and I heard it. Bad dream?" Jo nod her head. "I'm fine now. Sorry to disturb you." Peter smile and shake his head in reply. " Now go back to sleep, it's only 6am." After seeing Jo lying down on her bed and back to sleep again, Peter return back to his room and continue his work.
It has been a habit for Peter to wake up at 4am and start working. Having conference meeting with overseas counterparts in 10 countries with 7000 employees under his sleeves. No one has seen him except the head of each countries whom he employed to oversea the business. He is a low key and young entrepreneur. A business whiz. He's already a multi-millionaire when he was 24 years old and he has been in the trade for 10 years. Now, he is a multi-billionaire and own assets in that 10 countries.
Everyday without fail, his 10 key head will report to him the daily condition of their business. Recently, all Managing Director of each countries are coming together to discuss a new project with him to spear start in 9 months time. It is because of this project that Jo was being employed to be his PA.
"Boss, good morning to you." All greeted him in unison. The 10 MD's age are in the range of 45 to 55. And all respected him though he is younger than them. Dexter being the eldest of all gave a full reports of the completion of stage 1 of the project. They have chosen 10 companies which are in bad shape in their individual countries for their projects target. And now, they are going for stage 2 of the projects. "Ok, all of you fly in to my island with all your info for the beginning of stage 2. We will decide which 10 companies to begins first. This time you will stay for 10 days. We must come to a decision by then." "Yes boss!" "Let me know once the date is fix." The conference ended. Peter off the laptop and went back to sleep.
Jo woke up at 10am, freshen herself up and went to kitchen for breakfast. Aunty Susan already prepared a table of food by the time Jo reached the kitchen. "Wow... Aunty Susan, you have cooked up so much food for the 2 of us." Jo was surprised. Aunty Susan smile and told Jo that the staff at the greenhouse will come in to get their breakfast in the kitchen. "How about lunch?" Jo ask. "That too." Aunty Susan replied. No wonder Peter was well love by all in this island.
Jo was in her penny of thoughts when Peter walk in and plant a morning kiss on Aunty Susan's cheek. "Morning boss" Jo greeted him while standing next to Aunty Susan. Peter gave her a smile and plant a kiss on her cheek as well. Jo was taken aback. Aunty Susan was giggling when she saw what Peter has done. Jo's face turn red and stare at Peter. "Let's eat. I'm famished." Peter sitted opposite Jo and started eating. Jo sit next to Aunty Susan and began eating.
The greenhouse staffs enter the kitchen, greeted Peter, took breakfast and left. "Aunty Su, is Johnny here already?" Peter ask. " No, he will be late today. He needs to collect mails at the Post Office. They informed him this morning." "Ok, have him wait for me when he comes. His scholarship has been approved." Peter told Aunty Su. Aunty Su was laughing with joy when she heard the news. "Thank you boss. I'm sure he will be elated when he hear this news. He has study so hard for it." "Johnny is my son. His a university student studying Business Administration. Next year being his 2nd year. Boss has challenge him to a scholarship if he score good grades. He's on vacation, so he's helping in the island." Aunty Su told Jo. Jo gave Aunty Su a smile and congratulate her.
"Jo, I need you in the office. There are some documents I need you to go through before you officially start work tomorrow. Come with me." Peter walk up the stairs towards his room.
Peter was standing holding the door inside his room and waiting for me to enter. I enter and he immediately close and lock the door, walking towards his working table and sit on the chair. "What I'm going to show you is of highly top secret. Extremely confidential and cannot be revealed to anyone at all. It is for this project that you are being hired. You are given this job because you are highly recommended by Professor Dean." Jo was shock. "He said your mouth is very tight, no one can get anything out of you during the time you are assisting him. I want that kind of confidentiality." Jo nodded her head. "After you saw what all this is about, you can't back off at all. Are you clear?" Jo nod her head again. "Now I need to know whether you can keep your mouth shut and bring all to your grave just as Professor Dean said. As well as can you do it." "How can I proof?"
Peter got out of his chair, walk to Jo and hold both sides of her head and bring his mouth upon hers with speed and giving her a deep long kiss. Jo was breathless in this kiss. She was shivering but stay firm to proof that she is able to accomplish any task given to her. The kiss was... Peter lifted his head and look at her. She calm down her feelings, open her eyes and look at Peter.
Peter smile down at her, took her hand and brought her face the bookshelves. A tiny little button was revealed among 1 of the books. Peter pressed and the bookshelves start to move and reveal a flight of stairs. A hidden passage. Jo's eyes wide open in shock. "Who are you, Peter?" Peter smile and continue to lead her down the flight of stairs and a passage way. They walk and finally came to a door. He uses a secret word and the door open. She inhale and hold her breath, put both hands to cover her mouth and big round eyes open. She is in shock. Stand there like a statue and just look at the scene before her.
Peter usher her in and everyone salute Peter. "Boss." There are at least a hundred people in there. Probably the size of two large Olympic stadium. And there are hundreds of computers and TV screens.
Jo stare at Peter with question in her eyes. "Follow me." They went through a door, walk to the end of the tunnel, Peter open the door by placing hhis hand on a screen. The door open and greet Peter. "This is my office. I got 2 identity. I'm an entrepreneur, and I also work for a huge organization. Entrepreneur is my surface identity to hide my real identity. I'm in charge of the protection of that organization. There's this project that you are hired for is this." Peter hand her the file.
Jo opened the file and she received more shock. "Is this real?" "Real as a human." "Because it is highly confidential, you are protected 24/7. Those people outside, knows who you are. They already be brief, not only you be protected, your family too. At this moment, your family is protected by at least a platoon of people round the clock from the day you depart from your house onwards. Denise Song, your good friend, don't know anything at all. She just knows that you are my PA."
"So, what is my role?" "My PA, Girlfriend, and... My Wife." Peter walk towards her, bend down his head and look at her. Jo's face turn red that's why she lower her head. Peter smile at her and whisper softly to her right ear. "So, do you want to be my wife? We have such good chemistry between us. Don't deny, you know it better." Jo blush even more. Peter laugh out loud and embrace Jo. She lay her head in Peter's bosom and wrap both hands around his waist.
"Come, let's get out of here. It's lunch time." Peter and Jo walk out hand in hand like 2 love birds. The people gave a loud cheer and whistle to the boss when they saw us. Jo's face was red but she was smiling.
They reach up to the house and Aunty Su knock on the door. "Boss Johnny is downstairs." Peter open the door and we proceed to downstairs. A tall young and bodily fit boy was waiting at the base of the stairs. "Jo, this is Johnny. Aunty Su's son. Johnny, this is Jo. She is my PA. If you can't reach me, call her and she will help you. Johnny, your scholarship has been approved." Johnny shout with joy and thank Peter. Aunty Su gave her son a hug and congratulate him. Both departed and we walk to the dinning table for our lunch.
