It is a dream come true to a girl like me.
Hi, I am Charity Wilson from Texas, currently an employee in a reputed multi national company in New York, as it is the busiest city.
I have a double degree in Finance and Management as a result I became the ruthless multi-millionerer Celix Ford's secretary.
I have been here for the last five years so basically I know his preferences like upon entering the office he wants black coffee with one sugar, after 2hours a healthy fruit smoothie, At lunch a high protein course and especially prefer to make my life miserable.
As a multi-millioner he has a well built physique with a height of 6 ft 4 inches with a subtle moustache and well maintained beard, brown eyes, well toned muscles with a tatted sleeve ( I know because the tattoo peaks from the rolled sleeves). As compared to me with a frame of 5 ft 5 inches ( I like my height as compared to other girls) my problem is my chubbiness thanks to my genetics and binge eating on Netflix. My office attire consists of a long skirt and ill-fitted blouse, uncombed hair in a bun, big glasses, brown eyes. I know I'm blabbering nonsense for so long but for understanding the story you should be able to understand me first.
As I rose from my bed after seeing the time on my mobile I went to do my business in the washroom with a cigarette in my hand (yes I know it is a bad habit and it may kill you but for
making my boss life easier I have to make my life hell).
As I finished my morning bussiness I checked the days schedule as usual the ruthless CEO has busy schedule with non-stop meeting means I have a hell of a day .
After wearing an outfit I checked my legs it is unshaven so again I have to wear a long skirt. There is no need for makeup as I will be sweaty as a pig following him and his orders. I see my reflection with my baggy eyes that is mocking me that after so many years I'm still working for him.
I take a final look in the mirror make a bun of my hair because my hair is waist length and I cannot manage it alongside managing my boss.
I book a cab and reached the office at 8.45 am as my boss comes at 9.00 am.
I dust his table because he is a clean freak, I started the coffee machine for grinding the coffee beans as you can now imagine his preferences.
After doing this I sit at my table directly facing his table outside of his see-through door of his office to update his cellander about today's meeting and forwarding some important emails to him. As I was finishing these I see him coming through the elevator awstruck by his beauty even after 5 years expting a smile which I have not seen through working for him after 5years.
He pass by me without acknowling me to his office. I quickly get up from my chair to bring his cup of coffee as he want his coffee before starting any work. I bring his coffee to his table and my busy day starts from here.
Celix Ford POV:
As I look outside of my window I see a blanket of snow on the road. I sighed and went to bathroom for grooming. As I look at my reflection I see a handsome man staring at me. For the world Im a ruthless CEO of Ford regency , but the reflection of me was mocking me for not being able to socialize with people normally. I have lost all interest in people that surrounds me because I know they are with me because of my legacy and with a very little chance all will betray me.
As I finished my grooming I walked into my walkin closet for todays outfit. The suits were perfectly crisp to my liking. The cufflinks are kept nicely. All the things are dust free. The new house keeper surely know how to do their work. I have to fire my previous house keeper because he was a thief and the dimond cufflinks were beginning to be lost.
As I descended from my penthouse my driver was ready with my car for today.
As the car navigates through the traffic suddenly I got a thought for my secretary. At first I didn't like her my my buddy Henry Cooper hired her to irk me. Although her resume was ver qualified She irk me. She has no dressing sense, no makeup,she is on the chubby side have big glasses but damm the girl can manage my moods. Before her my all the secretarys leave in a period of six months but she stayed and she stayed with me for the last 5years. I'm now dependable on her . I don't like my coffee by anyone other than her, she knows my preferences and she even don't give me any complaints and that kinda irk me so as the day passes I like to give a little taste of hell to her but then also she never complains.
I exited from the elevator and from the corner of my eyes I see her typing something on her computer. I didn't even acknowledge her.As I was going to seat in my chair she comes with the coffee and some documents in her hand.See this is what I was telling she knows my preferences.
As usual the day has started but as it was lunch time she seems to forget about bringing my lunch and this is a first. Because of that I cast a glance at her but then also she was unfazed.
And then I noticed her she seems to lose some weight, she is somewhat slouching, her eye bags are now being much more prominent. But there was something in her face that I can't pinpoint and can't even take my eyes of her. I think the cold is getting to my head. After 5mins she seems to feel my eyes on her as she suddenly faces me and our eyes meet for the first time in 5 years for 2seconds
