Chapter 7Cassandra Lei’s POVI know I am smiling like crazy right now while reading Trevor’s text. I am having dinner with him later.“Hey Lei, would you like to join us for lunch?”I lifted my gaze from my phone to the girl who was standing in front of my desk table. Damn! I forgot her name, who is she again? Ammmmm oh I remember She’s Amanda. She’s wearing glasses like me. She’s kind of pretty.“Oh, hi there, sure! Where are we having lunch?”I smiled at her. I think I need to make some friends to survive in this environment.“At the company’s cafeteria, come on let’s go”I was shocked when she grabbed me on my arm and raised me from my feet. Woah! This girl is clingy.“Okay, Okay”I replied and we walked out of the office to get some lunch. Our whole team arrived at the cafeteria; we are like six people.“So Lei, welcome to Xiangda Inc. Cafeteria!”Amanda said with all her energy. This girl is very hyper.This place is very huge. Many employees are having their lunch.We settled o
Chapter 8My duty for today ends at exactly 5pm. I got out of the office and immediately went to my car. Trevor just texted me to meet him up at that Chinese restaurant. He really knows me, he knows that I like Chinese foods, it's because I am half Filipina and half Chinese.I arrived at the restaurant and I saw Trevor sitting so handsomely while waiting for me. Trevor got us a VIP table. We have our own area. I know that he just wants to be safe from the paparazzis. Those people are like everywhere.He saw me and immediately waved at me. Damn that beautiful smile. Trevor held my chair for me so that I could take my seat. Such a gentle man.“Congratulations for being the secretary of Mr. Duke Harrington Cassandra!”Trevor said, he looks so genuinely happy for me. Without his help, I would not achieve these things.“Thanks to you Trevor”I replied and smiled back at him.“So, how was your first day of work?”He asked while taking a bite of his food.“It was pretty good, the working en
Chapter 9Cassandra Lei’s POVI woke up with big news. The news of Trevor being in a relationship is all over the news. There are photographs of him and me last night.Luckily, my face was covered. I was wearing my disguised look. I have my sunglasses on, a facemask on my mouth, and a scarf covering my hair. [Headline: Actor Trever Hemsworth is secretly dating a non-celebrity girl.]Netizens in the comment section are so mean. They keep throwing bad words at the girl, well that's me but ugh! [How dare she date my baby Trevor? I am so angry][I will ruin that bitch life][She’s covering her face, I bet she’s ugly][No! I will not let her date my Trevor!]I stopped reading the comments. People are just so judgemental and rude. My phone rings and I received a call from Hanna.“Hello Cassy! I know you are the girl in the news! Why did you let yourself be photographed? You’re not being careful!”I know Hanna is angry right now. I forgot to tell her that I was having dinner with Trevor.
Chapter 10Cassandra Lei’s POVI can't stop thinking of that small smile. My boss looks so handsome when he smiles. Should I make him smile more often? Hmmm, before I leave his kingdom after two months, I might just as well make him see the brighter side of life. Wait? What am I thinking? I shook my head and got back to my senses, what the hell Cassy?The day went so fast and I felt so exhausted. Time check and it's already 4 PM. Ugh! I still need to wait 1 hour before my duty for today ends.The telephone beside me rings. I answered it and heard the voice of my handsome boss on the other line.“Come inside my office”He said. I can see that he’s looking at me from his office.I immediately went inside his office because his voice kinda scared me.“What can I do for you, sir?”I asked.“Did you review these documents before letting me sign them?”Oh gosh! He’s in his beast mode again. “Oh, I'm sorry sir, I have not reviewed them”I rapidly got the papers on his table but to my ru
Chapter 11Cassandra Lei’s POVMy boss is so annoying. It's past 7 o’clock now and I am still here in the office waiting for him to finish his work.I yawned so many times now, I feel really sleepy. I guess I need to take a quick nap here on my table. I started to slowly close my eyes.I woke up in a very familiar place. I looked around and found myself still sitting on my spot inside the office. The lights were off and I cannot find anyone else here except myself. Where did my boss go? He left me here just like this ? He didn’t even bother to wake me up when he left? Damn that asshole!I am so scared of the dark. I walked around the office and said “ Hello? Is there anyone here? “No one answered so I continued to walk and found myself inside my boss’s office.I saw a man in a black suit, sitting right on the executive chair.I cannot see him clearly because it’s so dark.“Who are you? Why are you here?”I bravely asked as I grabbed the flower vase on the table. Of course I need to

Cassandra Lei’s POV“Happy 24th birthday Cassandra Lei!”My friends greeted me in sync as they came closer to me. Hanna, my best friend at the same time as my manager, is holding a cake with a candle on it. Oh my gosh! I am so surprised. I went home from work and when I arrived at my condo, I saw many people including my friends and some co-workers. They are inside my house. I remember that only my best friend Hanna knows the password to my door. I trust her so much to the extent that she can come anytime she wants to my home.

How come they are already here this early.“Cassandra! Cassandra! Will this scandal affect your career? What are you going to do now?”They continue to call my name and ask more stupid questions.
