Caroline woke up to the sound of her alarm. Opening her eyes, she yawned and felt a slight headache trying to figure out how she had gotten home last night.
It must have been Mia, she thought to herself. Sluggishly getting off her bed, go to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Since the next day was to resume work, she started setting out everything to be prepared for the week.
Caroline got a job as the secretary of a company.
She hears a loud sound coming from the kitchen.
“Mia, is that you? ” She asks as she reaches to
Open the door to check who it was. Of course, it was Mia, making a hangover soup for Caroline because she knew she wouldn't be feeling too good due to the hangover.
“ Yes boo, it's me, I'm making abalone porridge.” She said as she continued to chop some vegetables into it.
“ Mum makes it a lot for me when I have a hangover, trust me, it works like magic.” She further explained as she reached for a small medicine bottle for hangover for me to drink first.
Caroline reluctantly collects the medicine while squeezing her face in disgust. She has always hated taking drugs since she was a kid.
“ I hate drugs.” She says, squeezing her face to show some kind of disgust towards it.
“ It’s not that bad Carly, just close your nose and finish it up.” She says as she laughs at Caroline.
She does what Mia tells her to do. And starts to squeeze her mouth after taking the medicine. Mia hands her a bowl of steaming porridge. She takes a sip of it in a rush, causing the porridge to burn her.
“Ouch!” she shrieks in discomfort
“Sorry boo, take it slowly okay?” Mia comforts her while blowing her porridge.
They finished up their porridge and Caroline told her about the job she had gotten. She immediately found out about the company. It’s very famous and almost everyone wanted to work there.
“I saw you last night though, with that guy.” Mia chips in while having a weird grin on her face and raising her eyebrows to make Caroline talk.
“ It's nothing I promise. I bumped into him, and he mistakenly spilled a bit of his drink on me, he apologized and walked away.” She replies, holding up her hands around her shoulder, slightly pressing against her breast.
“Oh, I thought you liked him though, why didn't you try to talk to him?” Mia asked.
“ I couldn't, I, I kind of froze when I saw him right in front of me for real .” She shuttered a bit while talking.

The next morning, Caroline wakes up to the sound of the alarm, sluggishly pulls up from bed, then goes to the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for her first day at work.
She wears a chiffon shirt and a pair of pants and trousers with low heels. Then she packs her hair into a low ponytail. She does this very early, so she would not be late on her first day.
Catch a bus out to the company.
She drops in front of a long skyscraper with people going in and out of the office.
“I can do this !” She thinks to herself, then heads inside the building. She entered and found her way to collect her office identity card to have access to floors.
She enters the elevator to go to her new office, which is right in front of the CEO’s office. Mia had earlier told her that the CEO was a young man, and he was quite popular among ladies in the office.
Soon, William Arthur arrives with a lot of guards with him and enters the office. Caroline had yet to see his face because she had put her head down to greet him.
“Caroline, in my office now,” Arthur said through the telecom phone. She stands up and adjusts her chiffon top, then proceeds to his office. She knocks on the door and enters.
She noticed he looked familiar, and that's when it hit her.
“It's the guy from the club.” she thought to herself, looking shocked. But he looked well-dressed in a designer suit and the scent of his expensive cologne filled the room.
“ Next time when you come to bring my coffee, I like it well brewed with a little sugar,” he said confidently.
“You should know this already, it does not matter if you are new or not,” He continued.
I'm unable to focus on what he is saying. I have fallen head over heels for him. It feels fated and almost unreal that the guy I met in the club is my boss, just like in the movies. I am snapped out of my thoughts by my boss.
“Caroline!!” He exclaims, waiting for a response to all he has said.
“I'm sorry sir,” I responded immediately, bending my head slightly to show my remorse.
“ You can leave my office now, I'm done with you,” Arthur said as he looked back at his laptop.
“ Okay Sir,” I responded, leaving the office immediately.
Arthur’s POV
“Wait, what?”
“She’s my new secretary.”
I had thought within me that I would never see her again. I couldn't help but smile a bit as I entered my office.
She’s here, and I can call on her when I want. It's almost unbelievable. Should I talk to her?
What if she doesn't like me?
I look at her résumé on my desk, so her name is Caroline. She's as pretty as her name.
What the hell is wrong with me?
I can't believe I'm doing this right now. Without thinking twice, I called her into my office. She walks in looking so pretty with her chiffon top that shows a bit of her cleavage and her trousers that reveal her well-defined hips.
I can picture it in my head, the two of us together making out. Her lips look so soft, I want to kiss her. What should I say?
She's here waiting for me to talk. I guess she does not recognize me from the club. I have to get her to be mine.
Not knowing what to say, I asked her to bring my favorite coffee next time and also told her it didn't matter if she was new. That came out wrong.
She must think I'm mean.
Arthur!! Focus. I call out her name and told her she could go. I was so nervous, this was the first time I had gotten nervous over a girl.
No, she's not just a girl, she's my girl.
I smirked at the pickup I had just pickup line. But I didn't want her to notice, so I acted like I was checking something on my laptop.
