Seductive Secretary

Chapter three

Dorathy's Pov

As soon as he asked the question, I was

sitting in fear in my boss's office. The day

had started with the normal routine of the

office. But things took a sudden turn

during the morning meeting when I

instantly felt a feeling of anxiety and fear.

I wanted to control my emotions , so I

excused myself from my boss's office and

quickly made my way to the restroom. But

when I got to the door, my emotions took

over and I started crying about the whole

incident with fear that I would lose my job.

I was determined to not ruin the day,I

cleaned up as fast as I could and

composed myself before returning to Mr

Maxwell Gates's office.

Unknowingly, I didn't know that my boss

was watching my expressions through the

slightly ajar meeting door.

"Dorathy, are you okay? I noticed the way

you left the meeting abruptly, hope

everything is going well?" Mr Maxwell

Gates asked.

I wanted to save face, I took a deep

breath and replied, "Oh, Sir. That was just

a slight headache and I thought it's best to

excuse myself for a while, I'm sorry sir." I

responded to him.

Mr Maxwell Gates looked at me

skeptically and raised an eyebrow.

"Headache? I thought I saw you…."

I immediately interjected, "No, no sir, it's

just a headache, don't worry about that

sir." I said giving a fake smile hoping that

he would believe me.

It was not easy to convince Mr Maxwell

Gates, he was a keen observer. He still

proceeded in questioning me

"Are you sure? I was sure that I saw

you…."

I had to cut him off again, I insisted,

"Absolutely sure sir, I would never want

to create any distraction. I'm fine now."

He was left with no option than to agree,

he reluctantly nodded, "If you say so. Just

take good care of yourself, We don't want

any health issues affecting your work."

"Alright, thank you for your care and

concern sir " I responded.

I had diverted his attention from asking

me questions about the previous night, as

we proceeded into office discussions.

"So you are my new secretary? Dorathy

Jones ryt?" He asked.

"Yes I am sir."

"I heard you were properly interviewed

and they have explained your duties to

you and everything you need to know

about Gates's company.

"Yes they did sir, I fully understand."

"Okay, I just wanted to see my new

secretary and have a conversation with

her, you can go and resume for work." He

said adjusting his seat.

I thanked my boss and immediately made

my exit from the office, I was relieved that

I had managed to divert the embarrassing

incident. As I walked back to my desk, I

had the feeling that my secret might not

be safe for long.

When the time past the normal working

hours, I found myself still glued to my

desk, buried under so many reports which

had deadlines. The office was now very

quiet, with only the sound of the fan

overhead breaking the silence.

As I carefully went through the last

spreadsheet, I realized that it was going

to be late already.

I sighed, looking at my watch, which

seemed to mock me with each passing

second. The other staff members had

long since left, leaving me alone with the

overwhelming duty in the office.

I was determined to finish the task at

hand, I pressed on, with my fingers flying

across the keyboard.

Finally, with a victorious click, I finished

the last report on my desk. Looked at the

wall clock, my eyes widening at the late

hour. I began to panic, it was late already

and calling a cab at that time seemed

impossible.

"Is this how I will continue this work? Why

is it so stressful? Well, it's because it's my

first day at work so I have to put things in

place. I enjoy being in the Gates's

Company anyways." I said to myself.

I was scared but summoned courage, I

decided to go and meet my boss, Mr.

Maxwell Gates, who was still in his office.

I knocked on the slightly ajar door, I

paused for a moment before stepping into

his office.

"Hello sir, can I come in?" I asked.

"Come in, Dorathy."

"I'm sorry to bother you sir, I saw that

time had gone, and public transportation

had stopped for the night. Can you please

drop me off at my house sir?" I requested

and was anxiously waiting for his

response.

Mr. Maxwell, carried away with his work,

looked up and furrowed his brow,

obviously surprised to see me still

standing in his office.

After a moment of consideration, he

nodded. "Alright, Dorathy. I will drop you

off. Let me wrap up the things I am doing

so that we can go."

I was relieved and I went to gather my

belongings. I followed Mr. Maxwell Gates

out of the office, the abandoned corridors

made the sound of our footsteps sound

louder.

Our journey home was filled with total

silence, as I had mixed feelings of

appreciation and embarrassment.

We finally got to my apartment building. I

thanked Mr. Maxwell Gates profusely.

"I really appreciate this, thank you very

much Mr. Maxwell Gates. I promise that I

won't disturb you again."

He looked at me firmly with a reassuring

smile, "No need to worry, Dorathy. Just

make sure to manage your time better

next time and don't overwork yourself."

"Thank you sir, I will." I replied, but I was

surprised that he could still be nice

despite the fact that I embarrassed him at

the bar. I knew that he was aware of it,

but he just decided to ignore it.

As we were talking outside, Grandma

came to check who I was talking to.

"Dorathy, where have you been? Why are

you just coming by this time of the day?"

She asked as she looked at Mr. Maxwell

wondering who he was.
