MY BADASS SECRETARY

"Get the hell out of here! You're fired!" "Sir please, no. Let me explain." "I don't need your explanation!" Hendrick slams his hand on his working table and massages his temple. The now ex-secretary tried to beg once more, the company has the best benefit for employees and a high-paid salary but the CEO is a no mercy heart person. “S-Sir..” “That is final!” The secretary stormed out of his office, crying and holding her hand in her mouth. His driver-bodyguard didn't even bother to react. He has known his boss for ten years already. That kind of scenario or attitude of his boss is not new to him. He pretends he didn't hear or witness anything. This is the second time Hendrick fired his secretary in three years being the CEO of Walters Corporation. His father's secretary decided to retire after his parents passed away. His first secretary who already worked for one year spilled coffee on the important documents that he needs to review for signing. Hendrick doesn't like clumsy people. And that one earlier accidentally deleted the data he needed for this day and forgot to make a backup. For Hendrick, time is gold. He doesn't waste time when it comes to working, he doesn't waste someone else's time and for him, every time and effort they spend on that matter must give proper care, focus, and attention. That's how he appreciates his employees, giving importance to the time they spend every second of their work. Everything must be in order, organized, neat and all the things that are needed to finish today must be accomplished today, don't delay. Simple rules he just wants everyone must follow. And if you don't follow those rules, the word 'mercy' is not in Hendrick's vocabulary. His company pays a high salary and he doesn't like wasting money on staff who don't focus and just slack off in his company office. At the age of 22, his parents passed away. He didn't expect to handle this huge responsibility at a very young age. Back then, he enjoyed what every teenager normally does. Having a good time with friends, leisure time with their hobbies, motor racing, skateboarding, basketball. But now the only time he has for himself is to do the workout in his own house. He doesn't even remember the last time he went out with his friends, on top of that, he never experiences getting into a relationship. Well, that thing is something not to be forced anyway. For three years, he forgot how to smile. No one can figure out his feelings and emotions unless you are a long-time friend or he reveals it to you personally. Hendrick has a half-brother on his mother's side and they grew up together. Jerson Davis is three years older than him but is interested in medicine and now he is managing their private hospital. He can read and understand his emotions and actions by just observing him. Hendrick just sighs and calls the Human Resources Department manager. "Hire me a new secretary in three days. I want a new fresh graduate who can value the time and effort of his work. That's it!" The manager on the other line didn't even have the chance to say hello and goodbye. Hendrick cut the line already. He checks his wristwatch, he still has one hour before the exclusive meeting with the CEO of Wilson Group of Companies. He met Mr. Wilson many times already since he became CEO and he doesn't know why he is soft-hearted when it comes to Mr. Wilson, he is like a father to him. His parents are best friends but because he studied abroad during his college, he never had the chance to attend the family gathering with the business affiliates and associates of his parents. He is not interested in the first place. His parents let him do and choose what makes him happy and comfortable. That's why he is giving his best and exerting much effort to raise and build a better future than his parents left for him. At least he can repay, through hard work and hardship and continue their goal and vision. Hendrick collects his notebook, a pen, and his suit on the hanger. His bodyguard opens the door for him and they walk towards the private lift. The bodyguard presses the Basement and the Lobby button. Hendrick exited in the lobby to wait for his driver to arrive in the loading area. Hendrick is just wearing a plain white long sleeve and holding his suit in his right hand to wear it later. He saw the car had arrived already so he stood up from the waiting area and the guard bowed his head and pressed the safety lock button to open the door for him. Though Hendrick has his chip reader, the guards are just showing respect and giving an extra job to open the door to the owner of the company and the building. There is a woman busy talking to her phone while the other hand is holding an expensive iced coffee. Hendrick is trying to avoid the woman but the woman is busy talking and not even focusing on her way. Things happened fast, Hendrick halted when a woman carrying an iced coffee in her hand bumped into his chest and before he knew it, Hendrick's white long sleeve was already drenching in cold coffee. Everyone inside the lobby was shocked. The woman didn't even speak and just looked at the floor spilled with the iced coffee. "Which department are you from?" "F-finance sir. I'm sorry sir." "Tell your Department Manager you are fired, understand?!" "Y-yes, sir." Everyone who witnesses the scene pretends as nothing happened and proceeds to their destination. The guard quickly informed the cleaners to clean up the mess. The driver goes inside the lobby with a confused face. Hendrick looks around, he checks his wristwatch again, not enough time to change if he will go to his house again. What a bad day. Hendrick gritted his teeth while trying to control his temper until he saw a tall handsome man, almost the same as his height, so slender and look sexy in his eyes, wearing a white long sleeve, walking towards their direction and seemed new to this place. "Excuse me, sir, may I know where the office of the CEO is?" the man asked innocently with bunny teeth smile, almond-shaped eyes glittering. His eyes look at the spilled coffee on the floor and his chest. After examining the stranger on his thoughts, Hendrick speaks. "Benny, prepare the car now, take this. I'll follow you soon." Hendrick gives his notebook and pen to his driver's bodyguard and his black suit and grabs the man's wrist and drags him to the exit door. "Excuse me, excuse..what are you doing?" "Lend me your clothes now." "What?" "Yes, you see I'm a total mess and I have a meeting with an important person." "But I need to meet the CEO." "I know the CEO, just wait at the waiting area for me, I'll come back soon then I'll bring you to the CEO, ok." "Really? You're not lying?" "I am not, trust me." Hendrick starts to unbutton his long sleeve and remove it. His six-pack abs showed and it didn't escape from the beautiful stranger's eyes. "Remove your clothes, quick!" "Excuse me?" The man is still not moving. "I said, remove your clothes, we don't have enough time!" "H-here?" "Yes!" The man starts to unbutton his upper cloth while his hands are trembling. He just follows the man's order in exchange for bringing him personally to the CEO's office. Hendrick is losing his patience watching the man's slow-motion move like forever. He pulled the man's waist and brought him closer to him and helped him remove the remaining four buttons. Hendrick gulped his saliva when the cream-white body of the man was exposed in his eyes, he forgets the time for split seconds. "I feel cold, give me yours." Hendrick goes back to his senses when the man speaks and grabs his cloth from his hand and hands over his clean cloth to Hendrick. "Thank you, I owe you, see you later ok.?" They switch their clothes, Hendrick fixes himself and storms out of the exit area towards the lobby where his driver is already waiting and opens the door for him. Hendrick arrives on time with his meeting. Mr. Wilson is a very happy person and easy to deal with. He doesn't even notice that Hendrick is so tense and uneasy because of the incident earlier. Who would think that a respectable CEO ambushed the stranger's clothing that he is wearing now? He remembers, on the way to Mr. Wilson's company, Hendrick couldn't help but to sniff the vanilla scent on the white long sleeve. It's so relaxing and it feels warm. He noticed that the long sleeve touch is the best quality, so soft and comfy. "Good day sir, did I make you wait?" “Hendrick, I am happy you gave me time to meet me today." "My pleasure, sir." "You are exactly your father." "Thank you, sir." "Hope you meet my son already, I told him to visit your office early." "He didn't come yet, I'd been in my office all day." "Ahh, that brat. He strolls somewhere maybe. You know my son loves shopping and eating but he is an adorable son just like his late mom." Mr. Wilson's eyes twinkled as he thought of his wife. "I see what help I can do for your son, sir," Hendrick asked quickly. He knows Mr. Wilson, he will start to remember and tell the story over and over again once he starts it. "Just teach him the basics, my son is just 21 and carefree, unlike you, you are responsible and at a young age, you manage to raise your Dad's business in three years. They are proud of you Hendrick, I am proud of you too." Mr. Wilson breathed deeper and spoke again. "I want my son to become the CEO of my company in the future, I know he can because he is a fast learner but I want him to learn from the basics without depending on my company. If he will learn it here, he will slack off because he knows he is the owner of the company. But if he will work with your company, he is obliged to follow rules and obey the order of your company, am I right Hendrick?" "Yes sir." Feeling odd, he agreed. "I will limit his cards once he receives his first salary and everything, he will depend on his salary you will pay for him, make him your secretary or any position will suit him. And teach him little by little. I talked to him already, and we have a deal and agreement. Anyway, he doesn't know you, Hendrick, he doesn't know about business, to be honest. Don't let him catch you or let him know that you are training him personally. Treat him as your hired employee, you are his boss. Pretend you don't know him." "Well, I call that a blessing in disguise, sir. I just fired my secretary. Thank you." "That's great. I trust you, Hendrick. And thank you for helping me. I owe you. But please don't make it too hard for him. You can punish him if he disobeys your rules, it's just, my son is innocent, fragile yet stubborn, good luck Hendrick." "Until when he will work with me, sir?" "Until you feel he is ready and serious to handle a business. The decision is all yours, Hendrick. Please take care of my son. I love him so much." Hendrick just nodded. His mind is occupied by Mr. Wilson's son whom he never meets ever since. "By the way, your smell is familiar, did you change your cologne, Hendrick?" Hendrick's earlobes turned pink when he realized he was wearing a stranger's clothes under his suit. Finally, Mr. Wilson finished their meeting, and Hendrick bid farewell. He asks his driver to drive faster, he doesn't know why but he feels worried about the stranger. He must be bored now. He is checking his watch from time to time, his heartbeat is pounding hard, faster, and faster. He called the HR department manager and canceled the hiring of the new secretary. "I found already, don't hire at all." "Alright, sir." As he gets off of the car, the guard quickly opens the door for him and bows. Hendrick's eyes are busy looking for the stranger. He looked around, he checked the waiting area of the lobby, he didn't find the man. He then remembers to check the fire exit. Hendrick's heart melted as he saw the stranger sleeping peacefully on his curled knees, the beautiful face leaning on his right arm on the wall while the mouth was slightly open. How many hours has he slept like this since I left? Hendrick was about to wake up the stranger but he noticed he was not wearing the wet long sleeve he swapped but instead, he was glowing in that strong yellow colored T-shirt. Is it the Spongebob Squarepants T-shirt? Hendrick can't help but admire the stranger's ethereal face. How could a man have a pretty face like this, like an angel, so pretty handsome yet so beautiful? The mole under his lips is so tempting to kiss. Suddenly the stranger moves and slightly opens his eyes and pouts his lips when he recognizes the man who strips him half-naked a few hours ago. "What took you so long? I thought you forgot me and your promise already," the guy asked as he pouted his lips, rubbing his eyes with the back of his palm, yawning, then stretching his arms.
