His secretary

Chapter 7

Emma's POV

I woke up to the sound of beeping machines around me, my head throbbing threatening to pop out of my body. I opened my eyes narrowing them into slits trying to figure out where I was .

At the door were two men, one with a long white coat and the other was the man in the tailored cream suit. I reached for my head which was unusually warm , only to find something tied to my forehead so I tried to remove it.

"Miss, miss. Stop..," someone said clutching my hand.

I focused my attention back to him, his blue eyes glaring at me worryingly, his dark brown hair and that dainty nose completing his gorgeous look.

"Am I in heaven?" I mumbled my mouth watering from the hot specimen checking up on me.

He chuckled then spoke softly, " No miss. You are in the hospital"

That's why my head hurt, my left leg raised, encased between something white and hard. It dawned on me that someone ran me over, a black SUV in fact. And the man here......

"I know you're probably in pain and I'm sorry miss... I was too distracted by the time I stepped on the brakes, it was too late ..... I ran you over, " he spoke distinctly.

I was part to blame, I let my panic attack get the better of me and like a crazy woman I stood in the middle of the road. I'm probably sure my family must be worried sick, I hadn't gotten the chance to call them or text them.

"Pho... ne"I said trying to reach for the handbag carefully placed on the table alongside some beautiful yellow roses. I'm sure they were expensive.

"Noo...the doctor said you need to rest and I have taken care of all the medical costs, besides your boyfriend is on his way," he said snatching the bag away from me.

Which boyfriend? I'm not cuffed with anyone at the moment so whom did he call ?

"Huh?? I have no boyfriend so who did you call ?," I asked not missing a hint of excitement written on his perfectly symmetrical face.

" Um..I saw the name,'grumpy CEO' so I thought it's your nickname for your boyfriend..Sorry for the confusion," he said.

Before he could finish his words, my boss Cain Powers burged in with Marlon and Kendalla right behind him.

Marlon came up to me,"Em, what happened?" He asked examining my head pretending to be a wannabe doctor.

"A small accident," I mumbled inaudibly.

" You call that small?Look at you," my boss spoke his husky voice filling the whole room, pointing towards my raised leg.

"And I suppose you are the one who ran her over ," my boss said walking towards the man who wasn't in the lightest scared of him.

"You must be the grumpy CEO , I suppose?" he asked reaching for my boss' hand.

"Always the funny one , Alexander Monròe Valdéz ," he said.

Wait these two men knew each other? But i don't recall seeing Alexander... whatever the name was, around the office.

An acquaintance of Cain perhaps?

Clearing his throat ,he looked at me then at the rest and said," I have got things to do, nice seeing you here ,Cain. Coffee? Another time?Emma get well soon."

And he left everyone's eyes escorting him out.

" Can I talk to you Millers? Privately?" He asked emitting an aura of 'i'm in charge' , Kendalla and Marlon leaving me alone with him!

"Look Millers I understand you are in this whole situation because of me..... It was a mistake and.... What I'm trying to say is... I'm.. sorry, " he said tearing his gaze away from me to the yellow roses placed on the small wooden table.

This was a first, if I wasn't in this situation i'd probably jump out of excitement,victory..., he was apologising ?! The less he knew about why I ran out of there and why I probably overreacted, the better.

I wasn't quite ready in sharing my past with anyone, including my boss the memories were too painful.

"It's okay, sir.I'm part to blame ," I assured him.

" Actually you are to blame , you could have handled that better instead of running away like a crazy woman," and there he is, right there the obnoxious ,selfish and egocentric boss I knew.

I thought he'd atleast keep up the good boss attitude for a couple of hours too bad it lasted seconds!

"To more important matters, what were you and that scum of a man discussing?," he asked settling himself on the seat next to my hospital bed.

Scum? Not an acquaintance more like an enemy? He was no scum ,he was sweet ,kind and had a killer smile ,gosh!

"Huh?" I asked outwittingly trying to learn more about the man.

"You might be in a hospital but don't act dumb , Alexander Monròe Valdez ,the man in here or should I say the man who ran you over?" he asked.

" Ooh him, nothing important just apologising for running me over," I said.

" You better be telling the truth , but of all the people who had to ran you over? Why him? "he asked expecting me to give an immediate answer so I stayed quiet, anyone in my position would do the same..

"Sir, can I ask you something. Do you know the man, I mean Alexander Valdez , are you friends? "I asked eyeing him suspiciously because never before has Cain Powers ever been this provoked and intimidated by someone. He was the Cain Powers , untouchable and unquestionably wicked so seeing him like this aroused questions in my mind.

"Friends?" He paused intentionally as if to put emphasis on his words ," Trust me, friends is the wrong word to say what we are, let's just say we had a rough encounter with each other ,"

" So you are enemies then ?" This was the longest conversation we had with my boss. Maybe it was his way of showing that he was terribly sorry for shouting at me, who knows.

"I don't understand why we are even having this conversation ! You need to recover first, get well soon,"he said standing up, straightening his black leather jacket and walked out of the room.

Alexander Monròe Valdez, you are the keys to learning about this hard headed meanie in other words my boss,Cain Powers..
