The Alpha's Secretaries

Chapter 4: Assignments

Christian’s POVThese men were on my mind and things keep on bothering me. On what is the reason why I need these five men infront of me? Yes, I can’t control now my new form as a werewolf but, it doesn’t mean that I need to depend of these men.

We are about to take our dinner. I was sitting on a sisxteen seater table. On my left are Second, Cris and Even. While on the other were Arniel and Iesher. They are looking to each other and I feel the tense is rising. The timing was good and those foods that I asked were served. They have their plate as well as the utensils. Moreover, their attention was caught by those meals that where infront of them. Then I uttered, “let us start with a prayer.” They nodded and I said those words that blesses our meal and thanking the Maker of giving it to us.

We are silent while taking those meals. But I know that they just having this feeling of tense on what will I say later after the dinner. The responsible on my shoulders are huge enough to take care most of the properties of my parents. One thing that is so hard to my situation right now, is that the add-up of my concern, being a werewolf. Meanwhile, my sister is also managing our rural properties and I hope she was fine since she doesn’t have a full idea of what I, Mom and Dad is doing.

If I can take a look last time when I checked, we have more than ten-thousand employees to take care with it. Hospital, Malls, Resorts, Hotels, Buildings, Real Estates and soon having our own airlines piled me up. To point it, it started to stress me.

Few moments had passed, the buttler and other maidservants of the mansion took our used plates, wine glasses and utensils. The table is clean in a span of few minutes. “I guess we can start talking about your assignment.” I said in a low tone.

I saw how Cris’ right eyebrow rises while he saying these words, “what do you mean with the assignment?”

Then suddenly Second Evan said, “That means we will have our own assignments as the secretaries of the CEO.”

“Ahhh,” Cris sighed with a relief.

He nods and uttered while his arms twined. “Ethan, will always be here for you.” I feel his confidence with those words that comes out from his mouth.

And I said, “good thing to hear that.” Took my black book and the expensive favorite pen of mine. “I guess we can start?” Then that time I caught their attention. The mood became serious and they are staring at me. “So we will start on Second Evan.” Then I paused for a while as I flipped a paper of my book. I cleared my throat and said to them, “I can’t go all of my commitments—“

“You mean, most of it will be presented by us?” Then Second points his self.

I nodded and said, “yes.” Then I commented. “That is why I took the five of you to be my secretaries. Or should I say my mom do it inbehalf of me.” Then I direct to the point. “Each one of you will be my face. All of the things will be reported to me.” I meant what I said, “Every detail.”

And Second took a deep breath, “fine. We are on your back.”

I smiled and said, “good to hear that.” We just got back to the mood of assigning them. “I will inherit the Hospital, Malls, Resorts, Hotels, Buildings, Real Estates but I will more focus to the airlines.” They shook. I pointed Second Evan. “You will manage my Hospital for the mean time.” Then I looked to Cris Charles, “The huge mall as well as the satellite malls that my family has will be fared to Cris Charles.” He took note to what I said. “My resorts will be handled by Ethan.” Then I glanced to Arniel, “You will manage some of the buildings.” At that time Iesher looked at me. “Yours will be the Real Estates.”

He replied, “as you wish.”

“I guess; I have nothing to be bothered in the means of the assignments that all you have.” I feel relief when I said it to them. “All of you will start tomorrow.” I uttered.

They stand and bowed at me. “All the best for you Chairman Christian Lim Carillo.” They said with pose.

They left me for a moment where I can be with my self. I walked going to the huge window that is few steps away from me. I move the curtains and I saw the beauty of the garden that was owned and take care by my mother, Jane Lim Carillo. I picked up my phone while staring the beauty scence infront of me. I sighed, “how is my sister now?” Angel was on my mind. I dialed her number and call her right a way.

“Hello!” I can hear to her voice that she is too excited when I call her. “How are you it is been so long that we did not talk to each other?”

I shake my shoulders while talking to her. “Nah, it is been few months.” And I laughed. “The way you approached me and talk to me like that is so unusual.”

She jokingly said to me, “I should tell you that my dear brother. I never seen you for months. Fine, I will just emphasize the word months.” She paused for a moment. “But for us as siblings those months are like years.” I can feel the change of her emotions right away.

“Don’t worry, if I have time—“

Angel just burts her words while I am talking. “Don’t tell that just do it.”

And I conformed it, “ok, copy. Take care of your self, did you hear that?”

“Sure, you also.” And we ended our conversation.

At that moment the sky turns dark and the wind plays those flowers that are on my mother’s garden. I heard a voice few steps away. “You have a tiring day.” I look at her and smiled. “My dear son, everything will be fine.” My mom said.

“Yeah, everything will be fine.” And I kissed her forehead.

My mom taps my shoulder, “always think this that we will be on your side.” She pressed my left side. “Your Dad, Me, Angel, your secretaries and the people who are around you.” Once again I feel relief.

“I am so blessed to have you Mom.” I told her while looking unto her beautiful eyes. “I will do my best to be someone you will proud of.”

She smiles, “you don’t need to do that. I am already proud of you.” With those warm words that she said while the cold rain pours… now my entire being felt the warm of having a good mother.

I hug her and whispered, “thank you mom.”

(Second’s POV)

I was looking at them from a distant. I stopped reading my book and hold it on my right hand. Here, I can see that his mom loves him so much. Whatever oath that I gave to their family, I will make it as long that I can.

I suddenly moved out from the time I peeked them on the room where Christian and his mom was. As I reached my room words flashed on my mind. I was assigned as the secretary that was focusing on the hospital. I may not be good in the lot of things but I have this determination to to the best that I can. I will not fail the expectation of the Lim-Carillo especially Christian. I sat on the chair where it has a round size of table. I can see how the rain pours and how its beauty fills the garden that I am looking at it. Leaning my self on where I am sitting and feel the view of what I seeing feels me good. Although some of the people believes that rain is a sign of sadness. But for me the beauty in it can be seen if we want to.

I put my book there and scanned myself. “I should be prepared of the opportunity that they gave on me.” I leaned my head unto the chair while sitting. “For the best Second Evan! For the best!” And I feel how my eyes close. And I let my self dwell in the deep sleep.
