Chapter 37
988words
Sunday happened to be boring except that my son was also rambling opinions about the cartoon we were watching.
When it was eight I tucked him to sleep after feeding him then after an hour shortly followed as I tucked myself to sleep.
While in bed I went back to the events that took place on friday and shook my head.
How did I even come to like a man like that.
I had to bare the thought of seeing him tomorrow after all the things he said to me but I needed the job.
I needed the money.
I needed to survive on my own.
I also needed to toughen up.
So I kept my big girl pants on and slept.
Choosing the outfit for today I decided to go with an off shoulder top then paired it with high waisted pants with black pumps.
As usual I fed Ansel breakfast then dropped him to school before I drive myself to work and I always reached there with ten minutes to spare which gave me time to fix the papers on my desk.
Fix Mr Ivanov's coffee and chat with Lena a little before the devil appears.
Nothing changed for today and I was in the office when he decided to enter his office exactly at nine sharp and I opened the joining doors with my notepad and pen in my hands ready to write notes or get more paperwork.
"Good morning Mr Ivanov" I said in my same flat tone.
He looked at me analysing me as if he had never seen me before then nodded.
He pointed at the papers that were stacked next to him then told me to arrange them.
Separate the ones that needed to be emailed to the other companies then get a signature from the CFO after I'm done.
I nodded my head the took the papers and proceeded to my office.
It took me hours to finish this.
It took me alot of hours!
I was exhausted.
But the one thing that I noticed was that these sales and the income was going down at a high speed.
I had a degree in accounting.
Well oups if I did not mention it earlier and that gave me enough evidence that their money was being secretly used else where.
I needed to talk to Ivanov.
I burged in his office holding the papers with me because I didnt want to assume that they were being stolen from.
I wanted to talk to him and see maybe if he was the one sending money to this anonymous account and why withdraw such amount of money monthly.
Maybe he was working on some new project that he did not want to tell everyone about yet.
When I entered his office the man that I saw friday might with the asian woman was sitting there and they both looked my way in an annoyed expression.
I stopped dead in my tracks.
Shit.
"Umm... sorry to interrupt but sir I need to talk to you" I said holding the papers.
He gave me a hard stare as is to see that I break under his stare.
"It can wait" he said then went back over what him and this other man were doing.
The man himself didnt look that old except for the white hair and beard nothing else gave away that he was old.
Staying in the same spot I closed my eyes then breathed in.
"Sir it's really important" I said as I opened my eyes.
They both looked in my way again.
Now one looked angry.
"I said it can wait.
So it can wait until I am done here"he said this time with a voice that shook my insides.
I rose my glasses upper to the bridge of my nose and nodded.
I turned around and went back to my office.
Sitting down on my desk I kept my head in my two hands.
Closing my eyes I took the phone then dialed Lena's number.
I dealed her desk number hoping that she would be there and she picked up on the first ring.
"Lena from Jvanv Inc speaking" she answered the phone so formally that I had to hold down the urge of rolling my eyes.
Chucking I said that it was me and then asked her who the man that was in Josiah's 'office was.
She then said that it was his father and I almost gave a pat to myself for not losing my temper in that office.
I said a small thank you then told her to immediately call me when the man comes out of the office or when they are done.
Later on after two hours when I was done getting the signature from the CFO and COO who actually scared the shit out of me.
For a pregnant woman she really did look scary even though she had the softest features.
I heard my phone ring not even the company's phone and it was Lena who was apologising for not telling me earlier but if I dont go out right now I would catch him out of the building.
And that was how I found myself running to Mr Ivanov himself without shoes looking like a mad woman as I held papers in my hands.
Goodness should be thanked because his body guards didnt try to stop me.
When he looked in my direction he seemed amused as I stood in front of him panting like a dog as I tried to catch a breath.
Josiah on the other hand who had developed a high intolerance rate for me looked displeased.
I finally stood straight and he gave me a polite smile.
When I finally brought my papers out I explained to him how I was arranging these things then found out that their money was being taken to waste.
