THE BILLIONAIRE SUBMISSIVE SECRETARY

Chapter 2

~ARIANNA MILLER~

I woke up the next day as I was the competition day so I had on an old faded Jean with a pair of white shirt and black boots to March the outfit.

"Good luck to you Anna" Kevin said and I smiled sweetly before kissing him on his temple.

I walked out of the house then boarded a taxi straight to the venue.

*******************************************

I got off the taxi when I reached the venue and saw a large number of people on a queue, I was about to enter into the building when I received a call from Emily.

~Are you there yet?~ she asked and I answered with a yes.

~Apparently, I came late cause the building is filled up with a lot of people" I said and scanned my eyes around before joining the queue.

I was still on the queue while still phoning Emily when I felt a little tap on my shoulder and I looked back to see a lady with red hair.

"Hoy! vous devez continuer avec la file d'attente" she said and pointed forward while I arched my brow in confusion.

"Ummm......I'm gonna have to call you later Emily" I said.

"Well you just have to do your best and make me proud.......good luck" she said and hanged up while I kept my phone back into my bag.

"I'm sorry what does that mean?" I asked confused while she gave a little tap in her head.

"It means you need to move on with the queue" she said and signed

"I'm sorry I talk with my native dialect when I'm upset, but you're not moving on with the line, you were too engaged and didn't noticed its almost your turn" she said and looked to my front and saw that it was almost my turn then looked back at her.

"I'm sorry what's the queue meant for?" I asked obviously not knowing why I joined the queue in the first place.

"It's for people signing up today and if I don't hurry up, I won't get to sign up before the due time" she explained and I hurriedly got out of the line.

"I already signed up" I said.

"Okay then good luck......and by the way, I'm Nora" she said and joined the space between the queue.

I sat on a couch somewhere as the competition wasn't starting yet.

I sat there for an hour when Nora showed up again.

"Hoy friend!" I heard and I raised my head to see Nora standing before me.

"I got in" she said and sounded excited about it as she showed me the entry card she got, apparently she was on time cause the gate was closed now meaning no one can sign up again.

"Lucky you" I said

"Do you mind if I sit with you?" she asked and i nodded with a warm smile as she sat beside me.

"Well I didn't get to know your name" she said with a frown.

"Oh I'm Arianna" I answered while she nodded with my name on her lips.

"You know I'm really excited about this competition........cause I'm gonna have the privilege to be a model, it's gonna be a dream come true" she said.

"Model!?" I called rhetorically.

"Yeah I heard the competition takes two stages, one the first ten winer's who participated in the competition, then the ten winners will have a redo and the final winner will be picked to be a model.....not only that but also be rewards with thousands of dollars and a full year trip to any desired country":she explained.

This is really a life changer, I would be so much rich if I can win the competition, thank you Emily for signing up for me I thought and smiled.

"I also heard the sponsorship of the competition is really rich, how can he be so rich and has a zillion networth at a tender age" she said and continued blabbing.

"Also he's really handsome.....I heard he has a butt chin" she leaned in and whispered while we both laughed.

"Do you have a picture of this man you talk about?" I asked curiously.

"Yes I do" she answered as rustled through her bag.

She was about to show me the picture when we saw some girls running off to a certain place.

"I guess we're about to start" I said and got up from the couch while nora followed suit.

"I heard those who signed up early are the first batch, I'll get to see you later" she said and I assumed she was in the other batch as she just signed up late.

I clutched my bag to my shoulder and entered into the large hall where we can get to cook.

"Please put down your bags and walk to the opposite side" a man said addressing us all and we all followed the instructions.

We all get to go into the other room in fours so I was paired with three other ladies as we walked inside.

"Please notify me if you hear your name" another instructor said as three judges were seated behind a desk and I could not see their faces as the room was a little big dark.

"Julian Morse, poppy Parker, Andrews William and Arianna Miller" the instructor called while we all notified him.

"You have just forty five minutes to cook a delicacy....... and your time starts now" the instructor said.

I was about to walk up to my assigned table when I held my name being called from behind.

"Stop" the voice said and we all halted.

"Step forward miss Miller" the voice commanded and I stepped forward.

"Please leave the room as you have been disqualified" he said and everyone gasped.

"B...but I haven't even get started" i said in confusion.

"Oh yes you have" he said and stood up from his chair then came forward.

"You?!" I called puzzled

it was the heartless jetk from the other day I thought and frowned.

"What! you can't disqualify me, I haven't violated the rules....... you ain't even one of the judges" I hissed then an Indian looking man with a round belly showed up.

"Apparently, he's is one of the judges and also a potential partner, he has the right to disqualify you" the man explained while I clenched my fist.

"But he can't just put personal life into this, I need to engage in the competition, please I need the money" I pleaded with the man but he just shook his head.

"Only Mr King can make decisions" he said and I looked at the jerk from the other day.

"Can I participate in this competition please?" I asked again but the man simply cleared his throat and kept muted.

"She's wasting time Mr Singh, there will be no more competition if this lady doesn't leave" he said and that got me angry tgen I turned to him

"So what if I don't, look at you acting up like a god, you are just so heartless and have no remorse feeling for human, you're selfish and only cared about yourself" I yelled but he just kept muted and remained calm.

"Silence young lady, you will say no more words again" Mr Singh said and asked the security to throw me out.

"Fine I'll go out" I said and jerked my arm away from the security.

I picked up my bag and took a last look at him as he held a smirked on his lips before I walked out of the room.

I really regretted my action and that brought me to my second encounter with Mr King, I could have begged but I won't just let my pride down I thought and flagged down a taxi before heading over to Emily's place.

****************************

I got to Emily's place and luckly she was on her off today and won't be going to work.

She opened up the door after the third bang on her door.

"Hey..........come in" she said immediately led me in while I walked with a wobble.

She noticed how stressed I am and hurriedly brought a glass of water to keep me refreshed.

"Now tell me what happened" she demanded and I started narrating how it all happened.

"I'm sorry.........I failed you" I muttered while she just gave me an hug.

"It's okay, it wasn't your fault" she said.

"What do I do now?" I asked.

"I have bills to pay, I have a brother to feed, my wicked aunt keeps threatening me to take us back to her house if I don't get to pay the rent before due date" I said and clasped my face in my palm.

"I'm just so tired" I said and sighed before getting up.

"I'll let you know if they give it a rethink for you to try again" she said and I nodded before leaving her house.

*~*

It was late at night as I just walked out of the bathroom to find my phone ringing and I wondered who the caller was cause it was a private number.

~Hello miss Miller, this is from ASPIRING CHEF COMPETITION, you have been qualified to go on a second round~ the caller said and clasped my hand on my mouth to stop me from yelling.

~So when is the competition date?" I asked.

~Oh well, you have to do some certain things by apologizing to Mr King whom you got into a fight with~ the caller said and I instantly felt shocked and kept muted for some seconds.

Why?.....Why has my life been revolving around this mysterious man lately, I feel sick in the stomach even at the talk of him........but giving an apology won't get to kill since I have to win and get the price I thought the the sound came on at the other end of the call interrupting my thoughts.

~Are you here with us?~ the caller asked and I nodded gulping down lumps down my throat.

~Fine........l'm ready to do it" I said and took a sharp exhale.

~Alright ma'am, well send the address to your mail~ the caller said then hanged up so I hurriedly placed a call to Emily and told her about it so she promised to meet up with me tomorrow.

~THE NEXT DAY~

I picked out my best dress and wore it then strode to the small kitchen to make some home made meals as a bribe and shortly after, Emily arrived.

"Hey best girl" she said and walked into the kitchen where I was making the meal.

"What're you doing?" she asked surprised as she saw me cooking.

"Well I'm making some food obviously" I answered as she walked closer to the slab.

"why are you doing all this?" she asked and I rolled my eyes to the question.

"Well it's always a tradition to give a meal when apologizing to someone" I explained while she just muttered an 'oh'.

"Well hurry up young lady" she said and I smiled as I was almost done already.

I had packed up the meal and ready to go when Kevin woke up from sleep.

"Where are you off annaann?" he asked and I crouched down to him.

"I'm going off to give this as an apology, now be a good boy and stay with Emily" I said and ruffled his hair before heading out.

I got to the address then exhaled sharply before clutching my bag close to my shoulder.

How hard can this be, I just have to apologise and also fake some tears so he can accept my apology then u can join the competition i thought and headed inside.

The building was a face large one as people were seen everywhere, I walked up to lady behind the desk and she happened to be a receptionist, so I asked for directions with she did.

I walked out of the elevator into the empty hallway and found a blond lady behind a small desk so I walked up to her.

"Morning, can I get a direction to Mr King's office" I asked while she scanned me from head to toe.

"Right this way" she said and led me to his office.

I walked into his office and marvel at how big the office was, it was 10 times bigger than my house I thought and looked around.

"Morning sir, she asked to see you" the blonde secretary said and I bowed my head while Mr King asked her to go.

"Well the apologise won't tell itself" he said and I hurriedly walked up to his desk and placed the meal on his table before going on my kneels.

"I'm so sorry what what I have done, I really regretted my actions and I promise not to cross my line again" is aid and faked some tears with it.

"What's in the bag?" he asked and eyes the bag curiously

"It's a meal I made for you" I answered while he laughed.

"Please accept my apology, I really need to get into the competition so I can get to pay up my rents and also feed my little brother, please consider my apology" I said while he sighed and asked me to get up.

"It's Okay, I accept your apology" he said and I widened my eyes in shock.

"Really?" I asked while he nodded.

"You may leave now" he said and I gave a little bow before heading out if the office.

That's weird, I didn't even spend much time in begging before he accepted my apology I thought as different questions kept popping in my head while my I made way to exit the building.

I got home to find no one at home, I called on my brother's name but he was no where to be found do I hurriedly called on Emily's number.

~Where are you Emily?~ I asked.

~I had to take care of something, it's an emergency~ she said.

~And where is Kevin?~ I asked.

~Oh I left him in the house when u was about to go out~ she answered.

~Kevin is not in the house and he's no where to be seen~ I explained as i was completely perplexed.

~What! I personally locked up the house before leaving, how could he have gone out~ she asked.

~I'm on my way Anna" she added and hanged up the call.

I checked the neighborhood and asked some of my neighbors if they had seen my brother but they all didn't and I started to get worried, does that mean my aunt came to take him along? I kept thinking as Emily joined me after an hour of searching and we both headed to the office to file a complain but was told that I could only do that if it's over 24 hours.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault" Emily said but I can't blame her, we have been best friends since ages and has done so much for me.

it was really late at night and I decided to rest for the day and continue my search the next day when I got a text on my phone from a private number again

~Come over tomorrow to this address to get your brother~ the message said and I saw another text beneath it, it was the address I got earlier, King's company.

"You bastard" I yelled angrily.

~PRESENTLY~

Anna thoughts about what had happened in the past three days and blamed herself totally, she really regretted having an encounter with him in the first place, how could she not know that Jacob King always had a win over anything and she always feel disempowered all time.

If only she had ignored him when he splashed up water on her, if only she had not said anything on the competition day then all this wouldn't have happened she thought.

"Just two months, make me forgive you in just two months and if you successfully melt my heart then I'm going to Grant your heart desires" The ruthless Mr King said and Anna swallowed her lumps, she just had to make him forgive me then get him to give her money also how hard can that be? she thought.

"I'll do it" she said while he smiled but somehow that smile was not a pleasant one as he got more tricks up his sleeve
