In love with my Secretary

Chapter 5: Crisis And Complications

Mia managed to fall asleep very early in the morning after crying for what seems like forever all through the night.

And as a result of that, she woke up so damn late, she quickly took the shortest bath that she had ever took in her 21 years of living.

After that, she wore one of the new decent clothes Damien bought for her, when she was done, her stomach grumbled loudly but she ignored it as usual.

Though she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday but ofcourse, she has no money, not even a dollar and what she feared at that moment or in a moment to come was passing out in front of Reynolds Donovan.

Mia trembled as she felt her head spin but she quickly shaked her head to balance her sight which was turning blurry.

She quickly walked out of the house and started her walk towards the company.

★★★★★

Mia smiled when she entered her office successfully without passing out on the way or something similar, thankfully, Reynolds wasn't in his office at the moment.

She quickly went through his schedule and her jaws dropped when she read out the first schedule he had.

An important meeting with Swiss company which is the second best company in California after Donovan milling's company (DMC) at 08:00AM.

And she stared at her watch.

10:00AM!!, Damn, she was done for, she was going to loose her job!!!

Why is this always happening to her.

A secretary supposed to be next to her boss in a meeting but she was here....very damn late, for two hours already..

If she looses her job right now without making Reynolds fall for her then Damien would kill Lucas, her little brother.

Thinking about that alone, sent thousands of shivers down her spine, the worst part was that she didn't know where the meeting was being held.

"Oh mia, how did this happen?"She asked herself inwardly, she couldn't help but panic, and she felt that at this rate, she might have a heart attack.

Mia quickly walked out of her office only to bump into someone, she raised up her head and breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw that it wasn't Reynolds.

She just didn't want to see him at that moment, she was scared that If she saw him....all hell will let loose.

"Miss, are you lost?"A guy's hoarse voice came up and before Mia could blink, she felt his hands wrapped around her waist tightly

"Mr, let me go, you don't go around wrapping your arms around waist, do you?"Mia said struggling to get out of his grip but his grip only tightened.

"You know, my boss sent me here to do this but it isn't that bad since you're very alluring"He trailed off and licked his lips.

"If you don't leave me, I will beat you"Mia said and a chuckle left his lips, staring at her like she was a toy which was entertaining him.

"Oh?, Really?"He chuckled amusingly and before he could say or do something again, a hard punch was landed on his forehead shocking him.

Seeing that he was distracted, she slipped out of his grip and ran off but of course, someone as fragile and hungry as her wasn't fast enough as she was caught immediately and then a hard slap landed on her cheeks.

"B**ch, I did say you behave good, I just want Reynolds to see this, so that we can know whether he is falling for you or not"The crazy guy said and pinned her to the floor harshly but she couldn't escape despite her struggles.

"He is coming"

And Reynolds was indeed walking towards his office but ofcourse, something was off about him, he was angry, and the anger graduated to fury

Mia knew why he was furious, she didn't need anyone to tell her the reason.

They watched as Reynolds Walked passed them without any care at all despite seeing what was happening at that moment.

Wait, did he hate her so much that even when seeing her in any sort of danger he ignores her.

"Now you've gotten your answer, get off me!!!"Mia half-yelled but instead he landed two harsh slaps on her both cheeks causing blood to roll down the side of her lips.

"Since you're useless here, I will rather make you useful to me!!!"He smirked and Mia's heart skipped, the worst were about to happen...damn, he was just so strong and she knew it in her bones that she couldn't fight him.

When he placed his hands on her button and made to unbutton her shirt, a perfect muscular arm were stretched forth towards him and tapping him lightly on his shoulders stopping him for a while.

He turned to look at who it was and then a hard fist was connected to his face twice and that made him fall and slip into an unconscious state.

It was none other than Reynolds Donovan, he stood there glaring at the unconscious guy, wishing inwardly that he could kill him but ofcourse he preferred his image to anything else.

"Thanks"Mia said breathing out a sigh of relief but Reynolds ignored her and turned to leave but he suddenly stopped.

"Mia, do you know what you did?"Reynolds muttered and she bit her lower lip and licked it for some seconds before adverting her gaze to the floor.

"And would you stop doing that?"Reynolds said and Mia frowned, doing what?, She didn't get it at all.

"You know what?, Just go to your office!"Reynolds said massaging his forehead with his fingers.

"Does it mean that I can keep my job?"Mia said giving her best puppy eyes that no one can resist.

Reynolds nodded and she broke into a huge smile "Thank you"

★★★★★

Mia's eyes widened in shock when she saw the papers that were already on her desk immediately she entered the office.

But this time, she decided to check the date and thankfully, it was up to date, 2023 project....phew..

"You know.....

Mia gasped and almost fell out of her chair when she heard Reynold's voice booming and echoing inside her office, it was just like he connected a speaker inside the office without her knowledge because she never knew of such thing or she couldn't find where it was kept.

"The computer and laptop in front of you is useful and functioning properly, why don't you use it?, It wouldn't be that hard for you with the air of those devices"Reynolds muttered and she bit her lower lip.

"I...I..."Mia trailed off and clenched her fist around the pen she was holding.

"I can manage, thank you"Mia smiled and immediately she placed the pen on her paper ready to write, she froze when she heard his voice again.

"I know you don't know how to use a laptop or computer, if you can't use any of those then how were you able to answer the questions"Reynolds said and Mia's heart skipped, damn....was she getting caught?

Or has Reynolds started to suspect her.

"Questions?....which questions?"Mia asked, she decided to play dumb with him, she didn't wanted to loose this job because of she do, she didn't wanted to imagine what Damien would do to little Lucas.

"Oh please?, Don't play dumb with me Mia if you don't want to get fired, when Fred set those questions, he made sure that the questions can't be answered with just an iPad or any phone except from a laptop or computer"Reynold's gruffed voice were heard louder than before.

"You don't seem to have an experience in this kind of job and now am asking again, Miss Mia, answer me"Reynolds said, his voice booming with impatience.

Damn, when did he become a lawyer or a detective?.

She just needed a perfect lie, a lie that could save her all the trouble.

"I can't use a laptop or computer but it doesn't mean that I can't answer the questions and tell a friend to fill it in for me, I don't have an experience, yes you're right but I had no choice because of my little brother"Mia said squeezing her lips like a child who wanted to cry.

Yes, half of it was the truth.

She had no experience but she had to be his secretary because of her little brother, the only thing that wasn't the truth was the fact that Damien wasn't her friend.

Infact he would never be!

He would only be her raw enemy.

Then there was silence, pin drop silence which means that Reynolds had let the matter slide, which mean he believed her....haah...thank goodness!

~meanwhile at Reynold's office~

"You are acting weird these days"Fred said for the one hundredth time that day and Reynolds had to drop his book he was reading on the table in annoyance.

"Fred Williams", tell me in which way am I acting weird"Reynolds muttered and Fred smirked.

"Your emotions, you are getting emotional these days"Fred said and king passed him a ridiculous look.

"You called Mia a witch, first, I didn't understand you but when my godfather explained, I understand what you mean perfectly"Fred said with a wink.

"Oh?, What did your godfather say?"Reynolds asked and Fred's smirk widened on his face.

"He said that when you call her a witch, what you meant was that you were doing things that you haven't done before since the day she came into your life so you called her a witch because you assumed that she bewitched you"Fred said and stroked his imaginary beards before raising his head up in pride "am I not a genius?"

Reynolds didn't open his mouth to speak and Fred knew that what he just blurted out was true because Reynolds always keep quiet anytime someone tells him a truth that was very....infact, when someone tells him a bitter truth.

A truth he refused to believe.

"Giving her a 2018 pile of files on purpose to making her work overtime without food or rest, Your hurting her to stop the feelings right?"Fred asked but Reynolds still kept quiet.

"Zack do.....

"Fred Williams", please keep quiet and let me do my work, can you?"Reynolds asked clearly annoyed, what was this i***t spouting?.

"The next time she comes late to work again, I will fire her straight away"Reynolds said and adverted his gaze to the transparent wall which separated his office from Mia's.

He watched as she dropped her pen and before he could blink, boom!, She fell on the floor unconscious.

Before Fred could speak, Reynolds wasn't inside the office again, he had already ran towards Mia's office.

"Sick b*stard then later he would say, am spouting nonsense when I just told him the fact"Fred muttered and rolled his eyesballs.
