Unexpected Love

Chapter 10

Bonny's Pov

Morning came and, as always, Brasley was already out of bed. I got up, fixed the bed and headed to the bathroom, got myself cleaned up and got dressed in my knee-length skirt accompanied by a white shirt and a matching blazer, putting on my black heels and applying light make-up to finish the look. I gathered my bag and headed downstairs and, as if on cue, my dear husband was sitting on the dining table drinking coffee with a newspaper in the other hand. i sighed lightly as I walked to the room.

" Good morning"

" Good morning ", he replied without looking up. What did I expect though that's how he is.

I headed to the kitchen with my lunch bag, starting to prepare my lunch box and Mable came as if to inspect me.

" Good morning Mrs Mable "

I looked up to her and gave her a small smile, and she just gave me a nod. I didn't expect anything less from her. The moment I came here she didn't like me, so I couldn't expect her to be friendly.

I finished packing my lunchbox and placing it in my bag and headed out. I was about to head out and that's when he spoke.

" Sit down and have your breakfast before you go."

He still spoke without looking at me.

" I will eat at work. I have had enough food for breakfast and lunch."

" That was not a request, Mrs Dawson, and I hate repeating myself."

" But I'm going to be late if I sit down and eat, like I said I will eat at work. "

" Then you should learn to wake up on time, sit down and eat while you. "The more you argue, the more time is wasted.

I had no choice but to comply because the look he gave me indicated that he was not going yo let me leave this house.

I ate as fast as I could and when I was done he stood up.

" The driver is waiting outside. Have a good first day at work."

He turned and left.

He was cold ,the next moment he is nice and the next he is being something else, no longer knowing how to be when he is around. I got up while the staff handled the clearing of the table. I was grateful for that. I couldn't afford to be late. I headed outside, and my driver opened the door for me and I got in. Upon arriving at the corner of the street of my company, I invited on getting of not wanting people to look at me somehow, because the car was rather fancy.

I got to the entrance and saw Lorraine and I greeted her, and she gestured for me to follow her. We entered the elevator heading to the third floor and walked across the hall and past the CEO's suite before opening the door at the very end.

Lorraine pointed at the desk," That'll be your new desk. Get comfortable. The CEO is still on the way but should be in the office in no time. You are now his personal assistant, so you will be in charge of everything from scheduling his meetings and booking his travel arrangements. The person that you are to report to at any cost will be him and him alone. Any questions before I leave?"

I had a lot of questions, but the time was limited as she looked like she was in a hurry, but I can ask one for now.

"What is the CEO like?"

" No one knows him. "We always deal with manager Jill when it comes to anything that concerns the company, but since he will be here today on all days, we are all lucky to finally cast our eyes on him.

" Okay thank you, Lorraine. "

" Get yourself settled and go to the front desk in ten minutes. We should all be around the door to welcome the president of the company. "

I was eager to see him and curious to know the kind of man I would be working with. He has been mysterious all this time and I wonder why he decided to show his face as no one ever knew what he looked like. Somehow, I was excited to meet him. I nodded at Lorraine as she turned to leave, entering the elevator that was going downstairs at the end of the corridor.

I looked around the clean and perfectly furnished room and put my bag on the table and sat on the swivel chair getting the feel of it and God it was very comfortable. I stood up as I didn't have much time to relax in the chair while I was supposed to be with others awaiting the president. I had hoped that the president would be someone I could get along with.

Upon arriving on the first floor, there was already a commotion indicating that someone was arriving. I was excited and couldn't wait to see who this guy was. I wondered what made him appear in public all of a sudden.

Something had shifted in the air, the aura was big, and you could feel the coldness consuming you. I tipped my toe, trying to see who was coming, and my view was blocked by others and I couldn't see properly, but yet his stature had a sense of familiarity. Does that mean I knew him from somewhere.when I was busy poundering about where I could have seen him, I looked up and, as if fate had been waiting to bless me, he looked at me right in my eyes? At first, I felt like he was looking for someone, only to finally have his eyes on me and I froze on the spot, not even looking away. There at the door stood none other than my very own contracted husband and I didn't know what to do should I stay or move around. I just didn't know.
