The President's Secret

Chapter 5

|Sofia|

"I didn't know that my secretary is into voyeurism," he said as he looked down on me with his blazing red eyes.

I blinked and I was able to regain myself back at what he said. Wait, what?!

I quickly stood from the floor to face him. I swallowed hard as my eyes took a glance of his bare chest. But I cleared my throat and looked back into his blazing red eyes. Then my mind seems to process what he just said to me.

"Hey! I'm not into it!" I corrected him. But he only smirked and looked at my phone.

"Really?” he mocked. “At first, you saw me inside my bedroom and nowhere, inside my office," he said then looked back at me. "So tell me, do I need to see you one last time peeping before I conclude that you're really into it?" he continued.

I swallowed hard because of that.

"The first one was purely accidental!" I defended and looked away.

"Really? How about right now?" he asked, scoffing. I looked back at him because of that.

"Hey… it was," my voice trailed off when I realized that I'll tell him about my hunches regarding at what he is doing. I blinked and chose to stay silent.

Maybe he realized that I will not talk so he directed his attention towards my phone he's holding.

"So, what are you going to do with this?" he asked, as he watches the video on it. I blinked when I realized he's holding the only evidence I have! No!

"Give it back to me!" I said and tried to reach for it but he only lifted it in the air so I couldn't reach it even though I am wearing my heels.

He's so tall that it is obvious whenever we're close at each other. I looked up into him especially when my left hand pressed into his bare chest. I swallowed hard and quickly removed my hands away from him and put a distance between us.

I clenched my fist and closed my eyes when an unknown sensation spreads into my body. And it came from the moment my hands pressed into his chest!

"So... what are going to do with this video?" he asked again and I don't know why but his seems so... seductive.

I couldn't help but look back at him and his eyes are still red.

"You're a vampire," I whispered. He smiled because of that and I got to see the fangs he is hiding in his lips. I bit my lower lip when I realized it looks sexy on him. Fuuccck.

He looked sharply at me, then his smile widens.

"You saw it, do you?" he said as he stepped forward. My mouth fell open when I feel his presence right now is too much for me. I stepped back because of that.

My eyes traveled down on his sculpted body, with his perfect abs with trails of sweat showing like he did laps of run. I swallowed hard when I feel the blood rushes into my cheeks. I immediately looked away when I felt our distance almost inches away from each other.

I continued stepping back until the back of my knee hits the sofa behind me and I fall onto the seat. I blinked in shock because of that.

With the dark surroundings, and with the help of the moon's light, his figure intimidates me.

"You saw it," he said again and stop in front of me, with my knees almost touching his legs.

"S-So what? What is it to you!" I said, trying to erase the fear that starts to creep into my body.

Oh God, what will he do to me now that he saw me here! Of course, I will be fired after this! What else?

"Then that's a big problem,"

He said as he squatted to level his eyes to mine. I swallowed hard because of that. Oh, noes!

I was frozen in my seat when shifted his position and now, he's seating beside me. I can't seem to find my normal breathing because of that. I could feel his stares, piercing through me. My heart continues to beat faster than normal.

"You’re sweating," he whispered on the side of my ear which made all of my hair in the nape stood up. I quickly turned to look at him, only to regret it later when I realized how near our face is. I looked into his eyes and tried to look away but it seems I was hypnotized by his looks that I couldn't move a little.

"You're pretty..." he whispered and his eyes traveled down from eyes to my... lips, "...cute" he continued.

I looked away at his remarks. I swallowed hard and the only thing I could hear is the loud beat of my heart.

"What w-will you do to me now?" and I don't know where I even took that courage to ask. I turned to look at him again and he didn't even move a little. I looked directly into his eyes.

"You'll drink my b-blood like what you did to that w-woman? Until I dried out in death so no one could ever find your secret? Then what—"

"Death?" he scoffed like he can't believe what he just heard from me. Then I heard his deep chuckle. I frowned at him because of that. Wait, did I say something funny?

He only looked at me with a smile on his lips. Then after a second, he asked. "Do you think I'm killing people?"

My brow shot up because of that. I quickly looked at the woman lying on his office table. Well, that’s the only thing possible I know after finding what kind of creature he is.

But I blinked when I saw that she's still breathing. Somehow, I am thankful because of it. I really thought she was... dead.

"I don't take lives of other people, well, except for emergency," he said and I felt him moving closer to me. And as a reflex, I moved away, afraid to touch his skin.

"In order to live, we need the blood of living humans," he whispered that I could even feel his breath even though I had distanced myself enough.

"We can't live just by eating human food. Maybe we can, but only a bit. We can't kill and avoid any necessary deaths.” He explains. “I know vampire clans are higher than human races so we don't do some petty things that would endanger the clan," he continued with his raspy voice...

I was rooted in my place when I felt his breath on the side of my neck. I clenched my fist on my thighs and swallowed hard. I felt him scooped my hair and put it on the other side of my shoulders. Now, my neck is exposed to him.

"Are you afraid that I might drink your... blood?" he said seductively. And I gasp for air when I felt his kiss on my neck out of sudden. My eyes immediately shut close. "If I will don't worry, I'll never leave a wound or scratches on your… neck," he continued.

"Women's blood is at best whenever," he intended to stop and I almost shiver when his fingers caressed my nape. "I caress their body drawing them to ecstasy. That way, their blood became the most intoxicating and much finer than a century-old alcohol," Then he reached for my hand. My eyes flew to his hand holding mine, especially when I felt an unknown sensation spreading out in my body.

Goodness, why do I felt feverish at this moment?

"And also, when I sink my teeth to their neck," he stopped and lifted my hands, same level on his lips. I lifted my eyes until I met his red ones. I swallowed hard and looked at my fingers when he kissed it. "They feel the greatest ecstasy and leave their bodies into numbness,"

I bit my lower lip when I saw his fangs showing and the next thing I knew, he's biting my forefinger. I didn't know that I whimper at what he did until I felt his hands on my waist and our bodies almost together.

My eyes widen in shock when I regain myself and quickly put a distance between us. My hands flew on my chest. I hope he didn't hear the loud beat of my heart.

Then he stood up from his seat which made me looked at him. He runs his fingers through his hair as he looked down on me. When our eyes met, he smirked. I frowned when I realized his eyes isn't blazing in red anymore.

"But it's fine that you know my secret," he said and went towards his office table. He reached for his coat hanging on the sofa and used to cover the woman's n***d body. I quickly stood up and looked at him. I saw him wearing his long sleeves until he buttons it up.

Wait, what is happening in here?

"You're a big help to me," he continued after he's done buttoning up his sleeves and walked towards my direction. "Your work will gonna be much the same. And as for me, I could now easily walked around since you know my secret already," he added when he's now in front of me, looking directly into my eyes.

My eyes widen in shock when my mind processed everything that is happening right now. Wait, I thought he'll fire me after knowing... all of this, his secret. Is he... serious about this matter?

"Now that you do know that I couldn't eat human food that’s why you’ll schedule..." he stopped and turned around, then pointed the woman on the table "…my important meals. It is either twice or thrice a week," he said like it's a business plan. But afterward, he smirked.

"But speaking of important meals, we, Vampires are only a few in human society, that's why we can't be easily noticed by humans. Rumors are the only problem, but I assume that you won't spread it," his one brow shot up as he looked down on me. "Well, I do know your friend is working here also, and your family has a business! What can you say if I suddenly meddle in their lives?"

I gritted my teeth because of that. "Don't touch them," I threatened. I saw him gawking at me before he smiled, showing me his perfect white teeth.

"Sure, if you'll cooperate with me," he smirked. Then he turned his back to me and walked towards his office table. Afterward, he then carried his woman and brought it towards the direction of his bedroom. Oh!

My mind went blank that when he came back, I couldn't comprehend what he just said. But...

"Why are you doing this?" I asked when he came back from his room. He went straight to his working space and sat on his chair. He looked at me for about a minute before he answered.

"Well, honestly, you're perfect in that position. I've observed your help as my secretary and in this company and I must say it’s convenient when you are around,"

My heart skipped a beat. Then I remember why I love my current work. This is the first time that someone complimented and noticed my purpose around. I bit my lower lip and can’t help but felt a little teary-eyed.

"Then, I will do my best to assist you, Mr. President," I said with so much conviction. But he only smirked at me.

"Okay, you're free to go home now," he said as he waves his hand, dismissing me.

I let out a deep sigh. It took me a couple of seconds before I gather my things and my bag and fix myself before I head out of his office. But before I could ever go out, I stopped when he called me.

"And one more thing to remind," he said which made me looked at him. "Don't worry about my 'meals'. You'll not be a part of it," he smirked. I gritted my teeth because of that. "I only drink the finest blood," he stopped and looked at me from head to toe. Then his eyes stopped on mine, "from the finest quality of women," he ended.

"Understood, Mr. President," I said with a controlled voice.

I quickly closed the door and went straight towards the lift. And when the door closes, I heaved a deep sigh and remembered his smirking face.

He’s really an arrogant asshole! Grrr!

So, that’s how I found out the President's secret.
