another secretary of yours had left. He let out a deep breat

- You won't have to bother anymore. - Like this? - I frowned, looking at him. - Well, I gave myself the right to look for a secretary for you. - You couldn't do that... - Anyone want coffee? - I was interrupted again when the woman came back down the stairs – this time dressed. I looked at my father, who nodded at the girl, as if to say "really? Do you see what I'm saying?" - So, honey, I'm here having a serious talk with my father. - I got up and walked towards her. - And I need to be alone with him.

The worst that could happen would be for him to hire a fifty-year-old lady who wore glasses and wasn't attractive at all. But also, what harm would that be? - That's right, dad. I'm feeling a little childish. - Despite everything, I knew how to admit some things, and my father gave me complete freedom within the company. And because of that I was without a fifth secretary in a very short period of time. - Could I at least know if I know him? I threw myself back on the couch, more relaxed and waiting
