Trapped by My Ex-boss

Chapter 1

Frowning, Julieanna awoke from her sleep and rolled over a little uncomfortably. Her body touched someone else's, which made her suddenly recall that there was someone in her bed.

She gritted her teeth and went to turn on the lamp, causing the man next to her to take a deep breath impatiently.

The dim light shone on the man's bare back. The shadow engulfed the side of his face, setting off his sharp features.

Tip-toed, Julieanna went to the wardrobe to change. Then she sat down on the edge of the bed and reached for the man's back.

"Mr. Pruitt, it's 6:06 a.m. already. You have a meeting at 7:30 a.m."

Adam exhaled impatiently and shook off her hand. He said with a hoarse voice, "Piss off!"

Julieanna was used to his grumpiness and got up indifferently.

She quietly went downstairs and went into the kitchen to make breakfast for herself. After eating expressionlessly, she walked to the side of the road and took a taxi to the company. She didn't make any noise to bother him the whole time.

When the lights were off, she was Adam's s*x toy. Outside the bedroom, she was the chief secretary of him, the CEO of the Pruitt Group.

As soon as she arrived at the company, she got everything ready and stood outside the conference room with a cold expression, waiting for Adam. Everyone greeted her politely as they passed by.

At 7:28 a.m., the CEO's exclusive elevator made a sound.

With a sigh of relief, Julieanna retreated outside the meeting room and stood staring.

Adam was close to 6 feet 3 inches tall. When he walked over from afar, he oozed an authoritative aura. What was more, his lips were thin, and his skin was fair. He always had a poker face, and he was born with a cold-hearted look.

Julieanna was 5 feet 6 inches tall and looked petite in front of him.

Adam did not even look at her, as if he weren't the one who shared an intimate night with her last night.

It was a long meeting. Julieanna went back to the secretary's office in the middle of the meeting to order breakfast for Adam.

She was observing the menu when Macey Burch, who was a secretary as well, came to her side. "Julieanna, have you seen Mr. Pruitt's schedule this afternoon?"

"What's wrong?" Julieanna looked up.

Macey clicked her tongue and whispered, "Mr. Pruitt is having dinner tonight with Louis, the president of Shine Group's Asia Pacific branch."

Julieanna recalled carefully, and then she realized who Louis was.

Louis Calvo was a notorious man. He liked to harass female employees because of his high status, and he had even once drugged the secretary general of a partner company before. It was said that he even dared to pester Mireya Pruitt, Adam's aunt. He was nothing but unscrupulous.

Julieanna thought, if Adam is about to dine with Louis tonight, he'll have to bring one of his secretaries. No one else in the secretary's office wants to be there, so Macey has come to me to probe.

Julieanna pursed her lips and said calmly, "Don't worry. Mr. Pruitt may not take any of us at all."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the secretary's office was pushed open. Becky Arras, who was new here, poked her head in and looked at Julieanna tentatively.

"Julieanna, Mr. Pruitt is looking for you."

Julieanna quickly ordered something and walked out of the secretary's office, remaining calm.

She had been by Adam's side for five years. Not long after she entered the company, he had s*x with her in the lounge. Though they had met difficult clients these years, he had never asked her to sell her body and dignity.

In the office, Adam signed a document smoothly and said without looking up.

"Go get ready. There is a dinner party tonight."

Julieanna paused slightly.

She didn't say a word. Noticing that, Adam frowned slightly and looked up at her. "Julieanna?"

Julieanna came back to her senses, and her expression remained the same. "Yes."

Adam threw the document to her and asked with a slightly cold expression, "How many years have you been my secretary?"

Julieanna didn't know what he was thinking. She said calmly, "Five years."

"Know your place and do your job."

"Yes."

Julieanna went out of the door with the same expression, her palms cold.

She thought, no CEO in this world would stick to the same secretary for five years. Perhaps he is tired of me and is ready to toss me to someone else.

She returned to the secretary's office calmly, had grapes all afternoon, and put a dagger into her bag.

She figured that she could always stab herself to sober herself up if she was trapped.
