Chapter 3 : The Secretary
Lewis' POVAfter my encounter with that crazy lady, I went to a very stressful meeting with some sponsors.Once it was over, I went to the store across the company to get some snacks to relieve my stress.It was there that I bumped into that woman again.This time our encounter was quite funny, as we were both fighting for a box of cookies.I only intended to tease her for a bit before I gave her the cookies but she left without getting them.I knew she wouldn't come back for them, so I left the store after getting what I needed and went back to my office.After the day was done, I remembered that I had to check the interview forms for my secretary position.I then made my way to the interview room to view the applicants forms.Sarah, the interviewer, wasn't to leave work until I had checked them all, therefore she was present when I was checking the forms.I glanced through the files uninterestedly until my eyes caught a familiar face.I saw the form of the same lady whom I met downstairs and at the store."So she was rushing to get here". "Little miss doesn't know she just cursed her future boss out", I whispered to myself deviously."What was that Sir?", Sarah said.Shit, I whispered too loudly."Nothing", I said curtly.Not gonna lie,I was really glad that she applied for the job.She seemed so daring and yet so small.Never had any woman looked me in the eye and talk back at me.But she did it in a heartbeat.A woman who was that daring was so attractive, and now I had a plan to keep her close to me, I thought to myself as I recalled how she fell on her butt.I almost felt sorry but it was so funny that I forgot to apologize.The way she sparkled in her dress as she walked, and how a bead of sweat formed on her forehead from running to the elevator was mesmerising.I didn't think I'd see her again but fate was on my side as I saw her again at the store. I was only teasing her but she wasn't having any of it.If fate allowed it, I would buy her a large box of those cookies, she looked like she was gonna cry when I didn't give them to her, but she stormed out of the store before I could give them to her. I really hoped to see her again. Now, here I was, with her form in my hands. Somehow she ended up back in my life and this time, I was going to keep her."I want this woman to be my secretary, no questions", I said to Sarah."Duly noticed sir, I would inform Miss Smith first thing tomorrow morning", she said curtly."No, phone her now and tell her to get here 9:00AM and I want it done in my presence", I said angrily to the petite woman."Yyy..ee.sss sir", she said, scared by my command."Make sure to sound as happy as you can", I said with caution.She nodded and called Victoria and put the phone on loud speaker.I listened quietly as she spoke to Victoria and for the first time, she sounded happy.All the times I met her she was so mad, and I wondered how her smile looked and I really wanted to see it that instant.After the conversation was over, I told Sarah to brief Vic on important points as my new secretary and afterwards, I left the office.I had a good night's rest in a very long time, anticipating the arrival of my new secretary the following Monday.____________I woke up happily and got dressed for work.I put on my usual black suit and got some matte black dress shoes to go with it.My tie was in my office and I was literally smiling at the thought of Vic fixing it for me.I looked at myself in the reflection and saw that I was smiling. I was getting ahead of my myself and needed to be restrained.I slapped myself and said : "Now now Lewis, she's your secretary."Don't get any funny ideas"."You're probably just sorry because you were a jerk to her twice", I cursed under my breath and chased away the bad thoughts I was having about her.I made my way to the company, anticipating the look Victoria would have on her face when she realises that I was her boss.______She looked like her eyes were gonna fall out of its socket. I used this chance to take in her appearance. She was dressed formally, with little makeup application that brought out her facial charms.She had that look that made me want to protect her.I couldn't wait to apologize for being a bastard to her, but I was waiting for the perfect time.I didn't want it to seem like I was apologizing simply because I was her boss.I left her to attend to my meeting with my right hand man and also my best friend Kaden.He called her Vic which made her smile and I swear she turned pink. This made me angry and I fake coughed to interrupt their little moment."Jasmine tea in 5 minutes, Miss Smith", I annoyingly said as I pushed Kaden into the office.I was about closing the door when I heard her little raspy voice say "Yes sir" and I shut the door._________Exactly 5 minutes later, there was a knock on the door, which I guessed was Vic.She walked in with a tray and two cups of tea and dropped them on the table.I thanked her and told her to come in when Kaden had left."What do you guys have to talk about that I shouldn't hear of", Kaden asked, feigning hurt."Knock it off Woods" I said to him.Before he could reply, his phone rang and it looked like an important call because he suddenly stood up, ready to leave."It was a pleasure meeting you Victoria, or should I call you Vic?", he said, stretching his hand out to Vic who was hugging the tray in her arms."The pleasure is mine sir, and yes you can call me Vic", she said to him with a warm smile."I'll see you soon Mark", he said facing my direction.They were both getting on my nerves with their romantic encounter."She didn't act that way with me", I whispered to myself."Please, call me Kaden, we'll be seeing each other more frequently, so we should drop the formalities", Kaden replied to her.She nodded and he quickly exited the office.Ready to follow suite, I stopped her in her tracks before she could escape from me."And where do you think you're going Miss Smith?".Chapter 4 : The Secret Agent Part 1Vicky's POV "This day has got to be a dream.""How is that nasty jerk my boss?" "Oh god!" "And what about the terrible things I said to him.""I even threatened him!!""Ok, let's not freak out Vic, you got the job, you can handle him." "Just pretend that you don't know him and he won't bother bringing up the subject", I said to myself as I made the jasmine tea that Lewis wanted. "Lewis, I love that name, it gives me butterflies", I thought to myself.I snapped back into reality after I realised what I was thinking"Now is not the time Vic."I quietly knocked on Lewis' office door and I heard him say come in.I dropped the tea cups on the table, carefully not to spill any tea. "We have to talk Miss Smith, right after Kaden leaves", He said without looking at me.Kaden must have been curious because he started to question Lewis as to why he shouldn't be there when we were talking.They seemed to be really close friends because they were addressi
Chapter 4 : The Secret Agent Part 2Lewis' POV"Was she trying out a new BDSM style or was she actually trying to kill me?", I wondered as I took a glass of water to drink. My throat was dry from surviving being strangled by my secretary. I didn't know my question would surprise her."It's either she did it accidentally or that lady is on a mission to kill me", I thought to myself. Did she intentionally get a job here to assassinate me? Who is she working for?Wait let's not jump to conclusions.If she tries it again, then I'll be quick to take action.She doesn't look like she could hurt a fly."But then, the quiet ones always struck badly", I pondered quietly in my office.She was the one who said she'd do something to me if she saw me again. I wouldn't lie, I was looking forward to it.Was this what she meant when she said she was going to do something to me?Was she gonna make me regret what I did or do something else, by strangling me?Something was off.Guess I would never kn
Chapter 5 : The Silent Treatment Part 1Chapter 5 : The Silent Treatment Lewis' POV I stared at her eyeball to eyeball, waiting for her reply.She didn't reply so I tightened my grip on her arms, hoping to get an answer from her.I had many enemies and if Victoria was working for one of them then I would find out today.I looked at her closely, observing her full appearance. Her small hands were now captured by my masculine hands and her cheeks were a pale pink.Her luscious lips were in a firm line as I noticed that she was fighting back tears.Within 5 seconds, tears strolled down her cheeks, staining her face and ruining her makeup.Her mascara was now soaked with her tears and I was dumbfounded. I was startled at her outburst so I let go of her hand and realised that she was now bleeding from her wrist.It turned out that I gripped her wrists so tight that the bracelet she was wearing had broken and pierced her skin. I suddenly felt so bad and let her go as she was now lookin
Chapter 5 : The Silent Treatment Part 230 MINUTES LATER."So he didn't say anything and he just left?""What if he fires you?" "You shouldn't have slapped him Victoria.""You know how much you need this job.""I understand that you were mad and he deserved it, but it was your first day at work and that says a lot about your personality", Aysha said worriedly.I nodded and sipped my water.I was really scared, I wasn't sure if I'd go to work tomorrow and come back the same person. "Don't worry, if he actually fires you then that just justified that he's a bastard.""Let's hope for the best okay?", Aysha assured me as she pushed the food to my side of the table and I finally got to eat."I really hope she's right..."______________At work the next day, the office was really empty without Lewis. I wasn't fired but I still had it in my mind that there was gonna be trouble when Lewis came back. I attended meetings in his presence and always kept his office clean.I also arranged his
Chapter 6 : The Confrontation Part 1Lewis' POVAfter I got back from my trip, I couldn't find the courage to go back to work. I would definitely see Vic and I didn't want her to feel bad. I left without a word and coming back now would make me look like a fool. I decided to work from home for some time before I could muster up the courage to go to work.The rest of the week was hectic. I couldn't sleep well and I didn't take care of my appearance. After a bunch of calls and texts from the company, I decided that it was time to face reality. Kaden was already in the living room with important documents that were submitted in my absence. I heard from him that Vic was attending meetings in my place and was also asking about me from time to time. This made me a teensy bit happy as I thought about her. I put on a brown suit and fixed my tie myself. I wouldn't dare tell Vic to fix it for me again after what happened.I thought about what to say or do when I saw her."Should I bring up the
Chapter 6 : The Confrontation Part 2He stared at me as I sat in the front seat and folded my arms. He was standing in front of the car, not moving an inch.His fists were clenched and he looked so angry. I was low-key panicking but I didn't want him to know.His gaze was so fixed on me that I started to get uncomfortable and suddenly felt the need to pee really bad.I couldn't get out of the car after what I just said, I would only look stupid. I didn't know what to do at this point.I finally gave up and jumped out of the car to meet him. His expression was now softened as he looked at me with worry."What's wrong?", he asked worriedly."Uhh..I thINk I DrAnk tOo MuCh SOda", I said inaudibly."What was that?", he asked, bending to my height level to hear me better."I need to pee", I whispered to him.He looked at me and chuckled softly.I rolled my eyes at him as we made our way to the restroom using the park map guide.On getting to the restroom, it was locked and there was no o
Chapter 7 : The Plan Part 1Lewis' POVI stood, waiting for Victoria to come after she was done.I couldn't help but wonder if she was really going to date Kaden, he would only hurt her.We never saw eye to eye when it came to women. He was a playboy and I on the other hand, didn't have time to date. The only girl I tried to date left me for my rival Mason, the CEO of Hunter& Sons. He bullied me when I was in high school and always took my stuff whenever I came to school. He would beat me up whenever I tried to fight back. I didn't dare tell my parents that I was being bullied, they would have never let it slide.My mum always taught me to not let the bullies get their way no matter what, which was why I endured the beatings. I was relieved when my family moved cities, and I had to change my school. I was finally out of Mason's sight and everything was now perfect.But 10 years later, that bastard still managed to find his way into my life. It wasn't enough that he got into textile
Chapter 7 : The Plan Part 2Were these two flirting in my fucking presence?I didn't say a word, I just stormed out of the office in anger, leaving the two lovebirds alone.I went to the male restroom and felt like punching the wall but I couldn't damage the beautiful interior design.I couldn't stop the bad thoughts that were filling up my head.The images of Kaden screwing Victoria and her moaning his name were fixated in my mind and I was so fucking angry right now that I almost punched the mirror in the bathroom.If anyone was to do that to her, it would be me and it was my name she would moan out.I looked at myself in the mirror and washed my face, trying to cool down.This wouldn't do, I needed to get her away from him as quickly as possible.A devilish grin plastered on my cheek as I remembered that I had a business trip to Japan to attend the following week."Let's see if you'll still like Kaden after spending a week with me Victoria", I said to myself as I exited the restroo
