The President's Secret

Chapter 3

"GRRR. He's so annoying," I mumble as I cut the meat and eat it.

"What's your problem early in the morning?" Ella asked.

"Nothing," I scoffed and continued eating my breakfast.

"Wait, is it regarding Mr. President?" she asked as put her food on her plate.

I rolled my eyes when I remember what he did.

"Yes! He's so annoying because he criticizes all the things he didn't want from me!"

She didn't react at my rant so I continued.

"He's arrogant with contemning attitude! He judged people immediately like he knows everything about them!" I grumble as I continued slicing the meat on my plate. I imagine it was my boss whom I slicing, all of him. Goodness. My mind became murderous just the thought of his arrogant smile. Grrr.

I sighed and continued eating until we both finished after a few minutes. We then fix ourselves to ready from our work.

"I'll wait for you outside," she said and I quickly nodded. I went inside my room and took my planner I forgot and put it inside my bag. When I'm done, I closed the door and was about to head outside the flat when I stopped. I blinked as I witnessed my best friend, being hugged by a man that I had seen for the first time, all my life.

It took me a minute before I was able to regain myself from the shocked.

"H-Hey! What are you doing!" I interrupted. I quickly went beside my best friend and pulled her away from the man who just hugged her. I looked at him, trying to figure out if I had seen him or not, but really, this is my first time seeing this man. He looked so stress with his hair mess up and almost visible dark circles in his eyes.

"Who are you?" I asked, pulling my friend closer to me.

He looked at me first before he directed his attention to my best friend. I frowned when I saw an emotion crossed in his eyes, like it meant something, only for the woman I am hiding to him.

I blink for a couple of times and immediately read between the lines. I faced my friend and quickly saw her being teary-eyed.

"Sof..." she whispered and after a second, she broke down and hugged me. "Sof, I don't know what do..." she wailed.

I blinked when I realized that this is something serious! I remembered her mood this past few days, I looked back to the man who's looking down at the both of us. Is he the reason why my best friend seems so... sad?

"Why? What happened?" I asked her as I caressed her back. She didn't utter a word and continued crying in my arms. I sighed when my eyes saw what time is it.

"Do you want to stay here and get rest?" I asked. She quickly pulled away and shakes her head. She then wipes her tears as she looked at me.

"Nope," she said. She smiled even though her eyes are puffy, showing that she had just cried. I sighed and turned around to look at the man. Our eyes met and my brow immediately shot up.

"I think we need to talk later, Mister," I said as I crossed my arms on my chest to somehow intimidate him. He didn't answer so I took that as a yes.

"We need to go," I said before I pulled my friend and the guy outside the flat and locked it. Then when I saw how the two avoid each other, I rolled my eyes and pulled my friend away from him.

I wanted to ask Ella about the man, but like what I've said, I don't want to pry in her life. It's her choice if she'll share her stories to me or not. She's big enough to handle it anyway.

"H-Hey.. wait," the man behind us said. I stopped because of that and looked at him.

"I have a car, I-I can bring the two of you at your work," he suggested. I looked at him, weighing his reactions. He's not looking at me, but to the woman beside me. I rolled my eyes. Goodness.

"It's up to you," I said which made him looked at me.

Ella didn't react so I took that as a sign that it's fine with her. Well, somehow it's a blessing in disguise that he accompanied us until the office because we arrived five minutes before the working hours. Well, I'm thankful at my side, I just don't know about Ella.

We went out of his car and told him that he can go back around dinner. He immediately agreed and looked at the woman who left us both. I sighed because of that.

"I hope you can explain to me everything at the dinner mister," I said and bid my goodbye to go inside.

I was able to catch up beside Ella. I stayed silent until I heard his series of a deep sigh.

"He's James," she started. I looked at her because of that and choose to stay silent.

"We had an affair for this past month..." she stopped when we arrived in front of the lift and it opens at the same time. We saw that it's almost full but good thing; someone went outside so we both step inside.

Ella wasn't able to tell me what she has to say and quickly said her goodbye when she arrived on her floor. I gave her a knowingly looked before she nodded.

I went onto the last floor and started my work when I arrived inside the President's office.

"Sir, about your schedule---"

I was interrupted when suddenly someone entered the office with no permission. My eyes widen in shock because of that, especially when she shamelessly went towards the President's direction.

"Ian!" she yelped. She saw me making her stopped midway. She blinked and annoyingly looked at the President before looking back at me.

"Who is she?!" she screamed. I blinked because of that. Oh, wow.

I looked at the President and bid my short goodbye. Whenever there's a woman around, I was told that I need to leave the office and go back to my work. Well, I have been doing that almost every day, because different woman visits him. Gosh.

At first, I was in a state of culture shock, but after a series of a different woman who barged in inside his office, I got used to it. They will step inside and kissed the President without thinking if someone is around or not. Sometimes, they'll mistake me as one of the President's woman! Geez!

I went outside his office before the woman could even grasp my hair to pull it. I can see it in her eyes. Good thing, the President was able to woo her until I get outside. I let out a deep sigh and went towards the working space I have whenever there's a woman around. Yes, I think I'm the only secretary I have known with two working space.

I looked at the planner I have right now. I saw that he'll have a meeting after 10 minutes. I sighed when I realized that this will be canceled. Gosh, he could really cancel a meeting for his woman.

I was working for about an hour when the sliding door opens. The President stepped outside with his woman on his arms, supporting her like she's something fragile.

"Are you okay?" I heard the President whispered to the woman who is almost... pale. I frowned as I check on her. What happened to her?

"I'm fine," she mumbled and giggles. Then she wrapped her hands around the President's neck and kissed her fervently. I rolled my eyes because of that. Good thing I had gotten used to this scene.

"You really do know what to give to me," she whispered and giggled again.

I sighed and reached for the telephone on the table. I dialed his driver's number and when it answered, I told him that the President is going down. Well, I know what to do after his fair share among his woman.

The President looked at me and saw me putting down the telephone back. He sighed after that.

"Clean the office," he said and I quickly nodded. His bodyguards went beside him and help him with the woman who just passed out. Then after that, the three of them went inside the lift. I saw him glance at me before the lift's door closes.

I let out a deep sigh and massaged my temple. Goodness, the other side of this work is that you'll be a maid of his whenever he wanted.

I immediately went inside the office and liked what he said, I cleaned it. And just basing the scattered papers on the floor, I could already tell what happened inside. Goodness, it seems that woman only went here to have s*x to the President? And why I am not shocked about it anyway? His entire women who went here seems to be after that only.

I was nearing to finish cleaning his office when my eyes saw a white pill under his messy table. I blinked and immediately took it from the floor. I quickly studied what kind of pill it is but I quickly remembered what kind of pill this white thing is. My eyes widen when I realized what might have it's used for.

Oh geez, don't tell me?!

Then I remembered his women state after all of this mess. Gosh, does he really... use this? This is prohibited! But why would he? So that his woman couldn't move at what he'll do?

I gasped when countless ideas formed into my mind. But what if I am wrong anyway? What if, this was used for emergency purposes?

I let out a deep sigh. This is beyond my work already. It's not my duty to meddle in his personal business.

I continued arranging the things inside but I can't help but think about what I had just seen.

What if... he's really using a d**g some drugs to his women? Or more like doing some dark… business to them? Then the reputation of this company will be ruined just by his reckless actions!

No! That can't be!

I need someone to tell about these things. Or maybe, I could report this to his younger brother! And I know Sir Michael will immediately put an act at this matter. But I just couldn't go quickly to him and tell him what I just saw. I need evidence, more shreds of evidence to prove my hunch right!

But the side of my lips rose when an idea popped into my mind in seconds. Hmmm... It can be…
