Chapter 49 Have This When Amy remembered that Broderick once told her that loving any woman is impossible, she thought that she might be thinking too far. “Can I know how much I will earn as salary?” she asked. Without glancing at her, Broderick answered, “multiply whatever amount you were to earn monthly as a secretary by two. That will be your salary for the position.” Amy’s heart almost exploded with happiness. Double of her salary? That’s huge and even the works she has to do were very less. This was not even something to be sad about. But rather using her leisure time to play games, she decided that she was going to use it to come up with many amazing designs that may fetch her huge amount of money in the future. “Happy?” Broderick suddenly asked and she responded instinctively,” sir?” He paused what he was doing and asked in a way she can comprehend,” are you happy that you have an increase in promotion now since your salary has practically doubled?” “Kind of…” she answered. A knock landed on the door at that moment and Broderick gestured for her to do her work, Amy spoke,” come in please.” The door opened and Theresa appeared, she had been wondering why Amt entered Broderick’s office for the past three hours and have not stepped out since. It took her so much effort to wait for a couple of hours before deciding to check. But Once she heard a lady’s voice telling her to come in, she wondered if that was Amy? She felt like dying when she saw Amy seated nobly in Broderick’s office. She almost frowned but quickly smiled,” Oh my! Is Miss. Amy working here now?” “Yes. Since you want her position, I have to give to you eventhough it’s not fair. But then, I have to compensate Amy still,” Broderick said. Theresa had demanded from Broderick to be his secretary when they were both in his room yesterday. “Oh! I didn’t even know that it was Miss Amy that was your secretary. Gosh! I would never have asked. Miss. Amy, I have offended you, please forgive me. Come and take your position, I don’t need it anymore.” “Bitch!” Amy mumbled underneath her breath, “No, Mrs. Theresa. It’s even more honourable for you as Mr. Broderick’s wife to be his secretary. Enjoy the position.” However, Theresa now wished she was the one seated in Broderick’s office. It’s only when she is around Broderick often that she can develop a close relationship with him. She was so jealous of Amy that she felt like strangling her to death. “Common! I’m not a selfish woman,” Theresa said and set her gaze on Broderick,” Mr. Broderick, you should have told
me yesterday that Amy was your secretary. Please, let her come and take this position.” “And what position would you occupy then?” Broderick asked. She was beginning to suspect that she was eyeing Amy’s position and he was about feeling disgusted and angry towards her. “Just give me a random position, like the head of a receptionist, head of computer department , security department, medical department, anyone that you think fits me, I’ll accept it gladly,” Theresa said with a smile. But actually, what she wanted was Amy’s position. Broderick nodded and said,” I’ll grant your request, Theresa. Since you don’t want to be a secretary anymore, I’ll make you head of the company securities. But I hope you can work with them well and ensure the protection of the company,” Broderick said and Theresa almost buried herself in the ground.
Did he not know she didn’t mean what she said? She was only acting like a victim so he can think she was sincere. Oh gosh! How ridiculing will it be for her falling from being the secretary to the CEO whose office is on the last floor to being the head of security whose office is even detached from the company’s main building, Amy smiled when she heard Broderick say this. “This bitch deserves it and even more,” Amy mumbled, feeling very pleased at what Broderick said. Broderick was about making a call to make what he just said effective when Theresa quickly spoke, ” Mr. Broderick, since Mrs. Amy doesn’t want to become a secretary, then I’ll just remain as a secretary,” Actually, I want to occupy my position back. I feel very bad and insignificant when I appeared at my office today only to see that the CEO’s wife has occupied my position,i’ll be grateful to Mr. Broderick if he can make me his secretary again.” Amy chirped immediately Theresa felt like beheading Amy. ‘You silly woman’ she cursed angrily in her mind but still managed to put a smile on. “Oh! fine then. You can become the secretary. I guess I’ll just occupy the position you are presently in. I’m sorry once again, for my ignorance,” Theresa said. Actually, Broderick didn’t even need the position of a third personal assistant. His two personal assistant were okay. He only had to order for another desk and seat to be placed in his office so he can keep eyes on Amy. For an inexplicable reason, he doesn’t want Amy off his sight, perhaps because he was concerned that men may approach her. He didn’t want any man whatsoever around her.
Not only were her kids for him, even Amy was now his and he won’t let her go. As for Theresa, he was only honouring a rite- a promise he made as a child. Although he felt so much distance towards the woman, he still had to treat her as a person. “The position of a personal assistant was not among the position you said you want to occupy, Theresa. I don’t want to believe you are jealous of Amy, she’s just a mistress and you are the wife who has access to me the most, yet you can’t stand her working in an high position in my company?” Broderick asked. “It’s not like that, please don’t misjudge me, Mr. Broderick…” Theresa said and wanted to further explain but he waved his hand. “You can return back to your office, I have a lot to do,” he said. Theresa felt terribly bad and walked out. Amy smiled and looked at Broderick, she loved the fact that he could see deep into her bitter soul and know the type of person that she is. A few minutes after Theresa had left, Amy asked him,” can you give me an advance payment, it can be deducted from my salary by the end of the month?” Broderick looked at her and said,” are you borrowing money from me?” “Borrow? No! It’s more like an advance payment, please,” Amy pleaded. She just wanted to use the money to buy gifts to surprise her children. “There is food in the house and you are comfortable, I guess… What do you need money for?” he asked as he operates on his computer. “For… something personal,” she said. “No,” he said and Amy bite her lips painfully and set her gaze back on her computer. “So mean!” she mumbled. “I heard that.” “Sir?” Amy exclaimed. She heard what he said but she believed that he couldn’t have heard her soft mumble, otherwise, how sharp could his ear be? Broderick wrote a cheque and pushed it towards the edge of the table,” come and have this.” Amy stood and walked towards him, praying not to be a sack letter. Perhaps, he truly heard her and it made him angry. When she picked up the leaflet, she was stunned to see the money written in the cheque. “Oh my! Thank you so much. You can remove it from my salary, thank you,” she appreciated him sincerely. “After work, do you have a plan?” he looked up at her and asked. Amy thought, her only plan was to leave work and go the house. “No plan, sir.” “I’ll take you with me somewhere, stay prepared,”he said. “Okay, sir,” Amy then walked back to her sit.
