Secretary Cheryl, Agent Maud

My Secretary, My Bodyguard

CHAPTER EIGHT

My Secretary, My Bodyguard

Aiden's POV

I walked to my office door and pushed it open, I saw her walking towards the elevator.

I stood still and thought to myself as I gave my plan a second thought, and it sounded like a good idea to me, I had no other way to keep myself safe from the one who keep hiding behind calls and letters.

I had to do something real quick, I didn't want the police meddling with my business, that was the only way I could keep myself safe from this coward man.

What was her name again?, I cranked my eyes as I tried to recollect, "Wait up Cheryl," I called as she was about to go into the elevator, "You have been appointed," I added and she turned back to me with her eyes widened, "As my secretary," I went on.

She stared at me for minutes, and when I was expecting her to say something, she didn't, she kept on staring with her eyes widely opened.

Was she so surprised?, she seemed so desperate to get the position as my secretary, I didn't understand why she was so dumbfounded after she had gotten the spot.

She stopped staring for some minutes and turned back to the elevator, I was surprised, I felt like she wasn't interested in being my secretary anymore, until she turned back to me and ran towards me.

She got to my front and stopped, she had a really big smile on her face, and maybe I was wrong, she wasn't really an old woman.

I was only blinded by her violent act, she was pretty, and her coral black hair that plunged over her shoulders made her look more beautiful.

She held on to my hand with her smile pouring over me, "Thank you, thank you so much," she beamed.

I stared at her hand which she held me with and pulled it off mine, why would she touch me just because she got the job?.

I stared at her for minutes, and then I said, "You've gotten the job, but you still have to know what to do and what not to do."

I thought that was going to change her mood, but it didn't, she still had that big smile on her face, and it was already getting suspicious, why was she so happy just because she got to secure the position as my secretary?, was there something else to it?.

"And what is that boss?," she asked and held my hand again.

I knew it, I knew there was going to be a problem by making such a woman my secretary.

I had my reasons for not hiring a secretary, they were always nosy and they always try to meddle with others business, and that was one of the things I hated the most. Meddling with my business or trying to dig out things about me, I wouldn't spare anyone who tries to do that with me.

I pulled her hand off me again and gazed at her, her excitement was so confusing, being my secretary shouldn't make her so excited, "One is not touching me," I answered her question, "Don't touch me," I repeated.

She held up her hand, and surprisingly, she still had the same smile on her face, "I won't, if that is what you want," she responded.

I nodded and faked a smile so it wouldn't seem like I was being too hard on her, "Get to work," I said to her and turned back to my office.

I couldn't tell her that I didn't really appoint her so she would be my secretary, I appointed her so she could work as my shield, a bodyguard I would say.

I felt like she was strong and trained, she would be able to help me if any problem comes up.

I walked into my office and turned to the door to close it and I saw her right behind him, I was startled as I wasn't expecting her to be behind me, "What are you doing here?," I asked.

She gave me a puzzled look like she was confused, and I was also confused as I wasn't sure of what she was confused about, "You told me to get to work," she responded.

"So?," I asked, still confused of what she was doing in my office and why she was following me, I was already getting uncomfortable with her presence, I knew working with her would be so tiring, but I had no choice, I had to keep her with me.

"Uhmm..I.. I don't know..but...you told me to get to work," she stammered, she was as confused as I was.

"Your place isn't here," I responded and pointed to the seat outside, "There is your seat," I added.

"Oh!," she murmured, I was surprised that she couldn't tell that she was supposed to seat there, how could she not have seen that, "But I still don't know the work I'm supposed to get to," she added.

I held out a frustrated sigh, it was getting boring and frustrating with her.

Well, I had some works I needed to do, I walked to my desk and picked up the files from them, it was a really load of files, and I was sure it would keep her busy for some hours and she wouldn't be able to disturb me until I get to go out.

I placed the files in her hands and they dropped to the floor, maybe she wasn't expecting it to be so heavy, but she shouldn't have dropped them.

"I'm so sorry," she murmured and bent to the floor, she picked up the files and carried them in her hands, I could see on her face that they were heavy, "I'm so sorry," she said again.

I dipped my hands into my pockets, "Now get to work," I said to her and walked back to my desk.

My phone rang almost immediately, I picked it up and a smile fell on my face as I saw who it was, "Hey Ruben," I said as I held my phone to my ear.

"The package is ready boss," he said to me.
