I groaned as I opened my eyes. My head is pounding. How much did I drink last night? I felt something heavy around my waist. I looked around and saw Percy sleeping peacefully beside me.
Oh yeah. We spent a night together after getting wasted in the club.
I felt him stir, and pulled me closer to him.
"Good morning darling. " he greeted.
Somehow I felt calm and relived.
I looked at him, and he was smiling down on me. I smiled back and he kissed my forehead.
"I hope you slept well. "
"Yes. " I answered and he pecks my lips.
"I need to leave. I need to train your fledgling. " he said, and the thought of Arion left me wary.
I gave him a simple nod. He pecked my lips before he got up and got dressed.
"I'll see you in a week darling. " he said and he left.
I sighed and stared at the ceiling. I reluctantly got up and got dressed for work.
After shower, I put on my gray pencil skirt and white shirt. I grabbed my nude heels and put it on. I brushed my hair and put it on a loose bun. I just put some mascara and lipstick and I'm good to go.
When I arrived in the office, I went straight to the CEO office to find Marc already behind the computer.
"Good morning boss. " I greeted him.
He looked up from the screen and smiled at me.
"Good morning. I guess you had a great time last night. You are late and Dee is absent today. " he said.
I rolled my eyes and took a seat in front of the desk.
"I have a terrible headache and I'm dying for a cup of coffee. " I groaned.
"Looks like you had a lot of alcohol last night. "
"Uhuh. My boyfriend showed up last night. We got wasted and here I am with the horrible hang over. " I told him.
He arched his eyebrow.
"I didn't know you have a boyfriend. "
"I didn't tell you, or anyone. It was a long distance relationship. He works in Australia. "
"Oh."
I groaned again and Marc chuckled. He's about to speak when the door suddenly burst open.
We both turned towards the intruder. I froze and my eyes widened as I'm trying to process the situation, and the person standing in front of us.
"Mr. Damon Stone. What a pleasant surprise. "
Yep. The great Damon Stone aka my daddy dearest is standing in front of me. Yehey! Note the sarcasm.
"I'm here to talk to Mr. Knight, and to confirm the rumors floating around New York. " he said.
"And what is that?" Marc asked.
"That your ever famous CEO is dead. Is it true since he's nowhere to be seen? " he said with so much hope in his eyes.
My jaw clenched and I balled my fist. That bastard.
Marc furrowed his eyebrows and answered.
"I haven't heard of those rumors. But I assure you Mr. Stone, Mr. Knight is very much alive. He is currently in the Caribbean with his new girlfriend. That's why he left me in charge of this company until he comes back. "
Damon looks disappointed and furious at the same time. But he hid it in a hard laugh.
"That's what I thought too. Arion Knight chilling' with his newest mistress. Same old Arion. Always the ladies’ man. " he chuckled.
I'm so furious that I want to claw his face out. Looking at him this near made me see how I got his eyes.
Then his gaze turned to me. His laughter stopped and stares at me wide eyed. We stared at each other like we were memorizing each and every inch of our faces.
Marc noticed our reaction, so he cleared his throat gaining our attention.
"Anyway, this is Ms. Ishler, Mr. Knight's new secretary. " Marc told Damon.
He blinked several times before he cleared his throat and held his hand.
"Damon Stone of Stone Corp."
I looked at his hand and faked a smile. I can do this. I came this far.
"Pleasure is all mine Mr. Stone." I said.
I took his hand and shook it. I felt a zap like spark when our hands touched. I'm pretty sure he felt it too, as he stared at me again. I pulled my hand and smiled. He smiled back.
"Call me Damon. I feel old when you call me Mr.Stone. " he said.
'You're really f*****g old daddy. ' I thought
"I best be on my way. I just stopped by to clarify that stupid rumor. " he said looking at Marc. Then he turned to me.
"It’s really nice meeting you Ms. Ishler. I would love to see you again. " he said then winked at me.
He turned around and walked out the door.
Both Marc and I released a loud sighed.
"It seems like Damon Stone took a liking on you. This is not good. He pirated Arion's last secretary. And the way he looked at you, he's thinking of doing it again. " Marc said.
"Don't worry. I'm not interested in Stone Corp or even Damon Stone himself. I'm happy here. " I told him.
"Arion's going to be very pleased. " Marc teased.
I rolled my eyes.
"Whatever. I'm going to grab some coffee before I eat you alive. " I said and walked to the door to leave. But not before I heard Marc's annoying laughter.
