Part 1: A Little Dive Into The Double Life Of A Secretary Novel
Megan Reed is the loyal secretary of the handsome billionaire CEO Leo Mayor. He likes to brag about how efficient his employee is, even waging bets with his friends to prove Megan’s willingness to comply with his demands.
Just after two in the morning, Leo calls Megan and summons her to come to Golden Beach Bar, no questions asked. Half asleep and tired, Megan rushes to the said location, without considering traffic lights or speed.
The truth is, ever since she took the job as Leo’s secretary, she had one rule to follow no matter what, she needed to present for duty within thirty minutes from request, no matter the time, day and night.
As expected, Megan gets to the bar in less than half an hour. She walks through the door, frantically searching for Leo. It isn’t hard to spot him, as he stands out in the crowd. He is a handsome man, always portraying a cold expression.
First thing she spots about the man is that he is relentlessly laying on a chair holding a beautiful woman in his arms. Smirking, Leo throws a few glances towards two of his friends. Soon enough, they throw two sets of keys on the table, surrendering with a frown. They had given up a sports car and a villa.
The men hardly believed that Leo was right about his secretary and won the bet so easily. Megan can’t believe that her boss would be so ruthless and wake her up in the middle of the night just to help him win a bet.
Leo mocks her, as if paying her means he is entitled to do anything he pleased. He is even ‘kind enough’ to offer the woman to his friends, casually stating that Megan means nothing to him.
Fighting the men’s attempt to touch her and hearing Leo’s harsh words sent a flood of cold water over her body, as the man in front of her kept purposely hiding the fact that she is legally his wife.
For three years, Megan cared for Leo as a wife and as his secretary, while hiding their marriage. She knew that the man only married her because she resembled the love of his life who died a few years prior.
Leo made Megan act and dress like Tessa, without considering her feelings. In return, he would care for her mother, who was in the hospital, gravely ill. For her mother’s sake, Megan endured humiliations and abuse without complaining once until this very night.
Highly degraded by Leo, Megan goes home, only to be ambushed later by her intoxicated husband, who wanted to fulfill his deep desires. Upon calling the girl Tessa during their intimate moments, Megan decided to ask for divorce.
Now alone, the girl embraced freedom and independency and searched for a job. The only man in town bold enough to hire her is none other than Paul, a handsome heir, who immediately gets fond of Megan.
Seeing his wife with another man will make Leo realize that the woman crept her way into his heart. Will his domineering character bring Megan back to him or will he finally have to let his cold mask off and show his affectionate side?
Part 2: Key Characters In The Double Life Of A Secretary
At first glance, one may wonder why, of all people, Leo chose Megan to marry him. The truth is she’s not just someone he picked out of a bunch. Megan resembled his former girlfriend, the true love of his life, thus she was the lucky winner of a wife contract.
Although Megan didn’t seem to mind this aspect, in time being a mere substitute for a dead person started to make her feel uneasy, especially when she started developing feelings towards her husband. She wanted to be seen as herself, not remaining in the shadow of a gone woman.
Throughout her marriage, Megan had to dress like Tessa, act like her and even acquire the same abilities and knowledge as Leo’s ex. Sometimes, during their intimate moments, he would even call his wife Tessa, professing his love and longing for her.
The shadow of the former girlfriend hanged over their marriage incessantly, ultimately driving Megan over the edge. Corroborated with Leo’s indifference and lack of reluctance in handing her over to his friends ultimately led to divorce.
Once free, Megan returned to her original self. She dressed more provocative, not as plainly as Tessa, she wore more makeup and her attitude became bolder. To Leo’s surprise, his wife’s change of attitude stirred something in him.
Only when Megan started acting like herself did she manage to obtain something she wished for so many years, win her husband’s heart and admiration.
The Double Life Of A Secretary Leo And Megan characters are one of a kind, as their cat and mouse chase game reverses once the girl is on her feet.
