Psycho Boss, And His Sassy Secretary

The CEO replaced you

Chapter 8

Eve POV

The sound of my blaring alarm pulls me out of my deep slumber, and I groan tiredly, forcing my eyes open. It's still the middle of the night, but I have some work to take care of, that's why I'm waking up at this time.

I yawn tiredly, swinging my legs down the bed, and getting on my feet afterward. With my eyes half-closed, I drag my feet sluggishly into the bathroom. I'm so exhausted, and as much as I need to get some sleep, this work is important for me to do over the night.

Stepping out of the bathroom after I wash my face to get the sleep off my eyes, I walk over to my bed and throw my heavy weight on the edge, reaching out to my laptop afterward. I begin my work once it's on.

After working on the laptop for what seemed like forever, I was about to turn it off, when a message from the company pops on the screen. I sigh briefly. Why would the company email message me at 1am? I mean, who the hell is controlling the messaging center? I open the mail reluctantly, and my eyes almost pop out of their sockets at the horrible message that welcomes me. I'll be resuming work tomorrow as that jerk's secretary. Is this some joke or something? There's no way I'll ever do that, I can't stand him.

"Where the hell is my phone?" I ask no one in particular, searching for it on the bed, and once I see it lying on the bedside table, I grab it. I sigh angrily, realizing that the phone is already a mess, and I can't do anything with it unless I get a new one. Even if the phone is good, what the hell was I going to do? Call him and insult him or what? I'm stupid and not thinking straight at this point.

I groan angrily, throwing my phone across the room, finally ending its damn life. It's already spoilt anyway. That bastard! I'm so done for. This guy is going to frustrate me to death. There's no way I'll agree to work with him. I rather turn in my resignation letter.

After surfing the internet for almost all night, I finally switch off the computer, and keep it away, going back to sleep afterward. I still have about three hours to sleep, so I better do it now, and never.

"Are you not going to the office today, Eve?" Nanny Cleo's faint voice cut through my ears and I groan tiredly, tossing on the bed.

"It's almost 9am, Eve," Hearing her voice for the second time, I finally snap my eyes open and jump off the bed. Gosh! I'm so late for work. I rush into the bathroom, ignoring nanny Cleo who's standing in my room.

Since I'm already late, I hurry to bathe and in twenty minutes, I glance at my fully dressed reflection in the mirror. Grabbing my phone and handbag from the bed, I storm out of my room, heading to the living room afterward.

"Good morning nanny," I greet her from the dining room, as I pull out a chair and sit comfortably, waiting for my breakfast to be served. Don't expect me to go to the office without having breakfast. I've never done that before, and I won't do that now. I'd rather get scolded for coming late to work than go with an empty stomach. That's so not me.

"I packed it up for you, hunnie. You'll be late by the time you finish eating" She says once she comes out of the kitchen with a food flask. Wow! She's such a sweetheart.

"Thank you so much for this. I'll be on my way now," I hurry over to the exit door after I collect the flask, and stride out of the living room. I drive out of the compound afterward.

Fifteen minutes later...

Driving into the company's compound, I park in the garage and alight from the car, rushing to the entrance door afterward. Stepping into the lobby, I hurry over to the elevator. The company is already crowded. What was I expecting? I'm late...

Author POV

She walks elegantly into the office after leaving the elevator, not minding the fact that she's late for work. Mr. Grumpy is not here anyway, so it's fine to take her time.

Stepping into the office, which has already been filled with other workers, strictly focused on their computers, she almost freezes on the spot as she is welcomed by a lady sitting behind her desk while working with her computer.

She batts her eyelashes to be sure it isn't some sort of dream, but when she opens them, the same scenario welcomes her. Now, it isn't a dream. Taking a deep breath, she walks over to the lady sitting on her chair.

"Eve, you're here," Marian smile at her nervously, but she ignores her and goes to the lady instead.

"Excuse me?" She calls the lady's attention, causing her to raise her gaze to look at Eve, having a questioning and confused expression on her face. ,

"How may I help you, please?" The lady asks while adjusting her speck, and Eve laughs dryly. This lady is messing with her right now, and she has zero tolerance for bullshits. If only they were not in the office, she would've had herself to blame for misfortune, but good for her that there are rules guiding the company, one of which fighting is prohibited.

Dragging her off her seat would've been a good idea, but recalling the email she got last night, she tries to calm herself down. She tries to convince herself that it isn't that jerk's doing. She would be doomed if what was sent to him via mail was true.

"Point of correction, I don't need your help. And didn't no one tell you that you're sitting on someone's seat, huh?" She finally asks glaring daggers at the young lady with anger burning in her.

"Eve, the CEO replaced you with her," Marian finally announces to her, whispering the last part. Her eyes almost pop out of their sockets. So it was true?
