My demanding CEO

Chapter 18: New personal assistant.

Tiara's POV

Bringggg! Bringggg!

“Argh, that alarm of mine—couldn’t you wait a bit, huh?” I said, annoyed.

It's Monday again, another day at work. Yesterday, I slept late thinking about what happened that night. I couldn't remember anything and i was so pissed with myself for drinking so much that night.

The worst part is that, I will start working hand-in-hand with Asher today. Oh goodness.

*flashback*

"f**k hangover, arghh." I cursed, waking up with a very bad headache.

Then I looked around and saw the familiar surroundings, it's my room. I tried remembering how I got in here. Gosh, I can't really remember what happened last night. I even had a dream about Asher and I, he told me he was sorry for acting cold and all... That felt so real that it can't be true. I laughed it off.

After taking a warm shower, Ava and I went for a walk and ended up shopping. Not me, always Ava.

Later in the day, I received a message from Asher.

Asher: Hi, this is your handsome boss. How are you feeling now, Tiara?

Huh? I was beyond shocked, if there's anything like that. This can't be Asher, right? I stared at my phone and read the message again like I'm a dumb person. Maybe the alcohol was still taking hold in my body.

I have to reply quickly.

Tiara: Um... I'm fine. But how did you get my number?

Asher: Have you forgotten I'm your boss? Well, I have your documents containing your information with me here if you've forgotten. And don't forget we'll start working together tomorrow as per what my grandfather said.

Oh, jeez. I've forgotten about the working together. Damn, I'm not even prepared yet to face this arrogant boss.

Tiara: Oh. Alright. We'll see tomorrow then.

Asher: Yeah.

I dropped my phone, trying to think of what happened last night. I thought of asking Asher what happened, but later I dropped the idea.

Later on I slept off late thinking of what happened last night.

*present *

I took a quick shower, dressed up so professionally. I took a good look at myself, I'm not all that pretty, but I looked good. You know this figure 8 shape of mine, damn, it's perfect. My dad always tells me that I'll grow up to be a fine woman and here I am.

I got down to the kitchen to meet Ava making a delicious toast. How do I know? Well, I just know. She’s honestly the best.

"Good morning, baby girl," she greeted me, I guessed she must have felt my presence.

"Morning hon," I replied. "That smells nice."

"Yes, don't forget your best friend is a good cook."

I rolled my eyes at her reply. My best friend is sure too proud of herself.

Gold Enterprises’ lobby was already buzzing when I walked in. The soft click of heels, the hum of printers, and the murmur of conversations blended into the usual Monday chaos.

I entered the elevator, trying to calm myself. Suddenly I felt an eyes on me. I turned around and it's none other than my cold boss.

Huh? He's grinning... At who? I checked around me and it's only two of us.

"Who are you smiling to and why?" I questioned him.

"It's bad habit not to know that you're to greet your boss first. Anyways, good morning to you," he said with a smirk on his face.

Argh, that smirk... it looks sexy... what? what am I thinking? Damn.

"Good morning, boss," I replied.

"So we're gonna start working together today," he said with a raised eyebrows.

"Y-yes, w-we... are," I said stuttering.

Come Tiara, what's wrong with you?

"Yeah, you'll become my new personal assistant as from today."

"Huh? what?" I said with a wide eye.

What about Ethan? I was about to ask when I heard the ding sound of the elevator.

He walked out. I followed, throwing questions at him — but he ignored me completely.

"Good morning, Mr. Gold" different people we greeting him but he replied them all with a nod.

When we got to his office, he closed the door and pushed me till my back rested on the wall. His face is so close to mine that I could feel his breath on my neck. Damn, his smell is...

"Miss Tiara," I was cut short from my thought, what was I thinking?

Tiara, behave yourself.

"Yes boss," I answered him. And I remember that he told me my new post, I was about to ask him about Ethan, but he cut me short with a sentence I was and will never expect from him.

"You look pretty this morning."

My breath hitched. Did he really just say that? I can feel my heart about to jump out of my chest. Why am I feeling this way? Oh my gosh.

Someone suddenly knocked causing us to separate from each other. Asher went to his seat and told the person to come in.

It was Ethan.

"Good morning boss, and you too Tiara," Ethan greeted with a smile.

"Morning," I said with a smile also.

"Yeah, so Tiara, as I said before, you'll be my new personal assistant while Ethan will become the vice president of the company."

What? Oh my God, my heart is beating so fast. How will I work with this man?

I stared blankly at the both of them. I saw a smirk on Asher face. I guessed this is going to be a very tough one for me. God help me.

"Ethan, show her office to her and send all my schedules to her. Make sure to teach her all she needs to know. No mistakes. Okay, is that clear enough?" Asher said in a bossy tone.

"Y-yes," I answered.

I followed Ethan out, but not without glancing at Asher. That man is a devil in human body.

Ethan showed me around my new office, taught me all I need to know and he sent me all Asher's schedules. This is really going to be tough. Jeez.
