Another Story

There was once a young lady who got a job through a local newspaper advertisement.
At the interview, she was told that by the HR Agency's rep that she would be employed based on her application, and also because her prospective employer had already done sufficient background checks on various aspects of her life before the interview. She was agreeable to the sum, although she was still puzzled and impressed by the amount of effort this company invested on new candidates.

During the first few weeks on the job, she thoroughly enjoyed working at the new setup among her colleaques and her seniors. However, soon it dawned on her that she had never really met the company's Director before after having worked so long. It puzzled her even more as the days grew and the Director's office was always vacant, except for the occasional visits by the secretary who would leave stacks of documents for him to review and sign.

As her curiosity grew, she became adamant to know who the boss was and how he was like. He seemed to be shy and prefer working when everyone else had gone off for the day. He would leave behind new work instructions on the the desks of those whom he wanted to do anything for him the next day. So, she hatched a plan to try to catch that glimpse of the Director one evening by pretending to go to the ladies and hide there until everyone had gone back. Then she would emerge from hiding and sneak back into the office.

"Just a peek would do. No need for contact!" She reminded herself, as excitement welled up within her and she could feel her heart thumping so hard she became suddenly became afraid that it could be heard. Instinctively, she quickly pressed her hand over her chest.
