His Headstrong Secretary (Completed!)

Chapter 5

Zina’s POV

We shortly arrived in front of an apartment and when he parked I realized we were at his place. As if he caught my nervousness of realizing where I am, he confirmed with me that it’s his apartment. “I need to change and grab something. Don’t worry I won’t touch a kid.” He smirked before leading me through the elevators to his penthouse. 

I’m 22 not a kid but I guess to a man in his thirties I may be a kid compared to him. I followed behind him obediently and into his house. He motioned me to his sofa and I sat down. 

“Give me 30 minutes and I’ll be back” he handed me the remote to the TV and headed into his room. I took the time now to take a look at his house. It was very minimalistic with only the necessities and nothing too personal, kind of made it look like an expensive IKEA house display honestly, well with high end furniture. His living room was connected to the kitchen as the kitchen had the necessity appliances but nothing more, and an island with some fruits on top. 

I turned to the left and saw the ceiling to floor windows that showed the outline of the central park along with other buildings, but it seems from here that this is the highest floor around. I didn’t dare to walk around more as this wasn’t my place and I’d hate to see something I shouldn't. Who knows how many women Mr. Christian has brought home before. 

When I was about to just sit down again I heard his doorbell ring and from within his room Mr. Christian called for me to answer the doors. As I opened the door I found myself staring at Stella who looked me up and down in shock and without saying anything shoved a bag in my hands and stormed off. What's wrong with her honestly. As I closed the doors and headed back inside to put the bag on the table, Mr. Christian came out of his room freshly dressed in a sexy black three piece suit and a cream colored bow tie that matched my dress. He was a very hot and handsome walking celestial being. I quickly averted my eyes as he caught me staring, s**t!, and pointed at the bag telling him that Stella just handed it off and he nodded approaching the bag. 

I moved out of his way and watched as he took the contents out of the bag. As he opened the first small box I saw a pair of beautiful rose shaped diamond earrings which he put in his pockets as he reached for the bigger box. When he opened the bigger box my eyes landed on the shiny pear shaped diamond encrusted in the necklace that had little diamonds tracing the necklace, he held the necklace up, examined it before telling me to turn around and I did. 

“Hold your hair up” he told me and followed his instructions as I suddenly felt a coldness pressed against my neck and his hands brushing the back of my neck sending shivers down my spine making me squirm a bit in my spot. He seemed to have noticed and took one hand to hold onto my hips while whispering in my ears “stop moving” and I froze. His hot breath on my neck did wonders to my almost non-existent panties. 

When he spun me around he let out a smile before heading to the door. It was then that I realized that he placed this beautiful and very expensive diamond necklace around my neck. I bet this necklace was enough to pay off all of my loans alone. 

“It looks great on you with that outfit” he smiled while putting his big hand on my small back and guiding me into the elevator. “I’ll make sure to return it after the party,” I said touching the necklace on my neck. Our reflections were shown in the elevators and I think we made a very beautiful couple. s**t no Zina what are you thinking about, I quickly shook the thought out of my head again and followed him outside. 

“My chauffeur will drive us to the party,” he said and I nodded. Normally Mr. Christian liked to drive himself around but at times he took his chauffeur if we were pressed on time. As the car came around, Mr. Christian was very gentleman-like and held the door open for me and made sure I was comfortably inside before getting in himself next to me. We were sitting so close I could feel the heat radiating off of his body and his scent intoxicating me. ZINA SNAP OUT OF IT! I continued to tell myself. I couldn’t deny my attraction towards Mr. Christian but I knew inside that I must keep away because he’s nothing but bad news, and definitely not a good life partner. 

As the car came to a halt and the chauffeur stepped out to open Mr. Christian’s door, I unbuckled my seat belt but before I could open the door Mr. Christian opened it and stretched out a hand for me to hold, to which I took as walking in these heels he bought me at the boutique was higher than my normal heels that I’m used to. With the heels that I’m wearing now, I reach just a little under Mr. Christian’s nose. 

Once out of the car, Mr. Christian offered me his arm and signaling me to take it so I wrapped my hand around his arms and we walked into the venue. As soon as we got inside Mr. Christian was greeted with many people that I did not recognize. As I was only his secretary for a month right now, I’ve only met a handful of people he interacts with. 

“Hey Elijah! Who’s this?” A man around Mr. Christian’s age eyed me and gave me a wink. “My new secretary, Zina Moyes.” He introduced me and I smiled holding out my hand to shake his when he took my hand instead and placed a kiss on the back of my hand making me blush. 

“My pleasure to meet you Ms. Moyes, I’m Elijah’s friend Jason Vingelli” He gave me another wink before Mr. Christian quickly took my hand away from his and gave him a glare. What’s wrong with him I thought before replying to Jason,

“Hello Mr. Vingelli, you can just call me Zina.” I smiled back and before our conversation could continue Mr. Christian dragged me away saying we have to greet the host first. I mean did I have to come? This was his party and I’m just a nobody but I couldn’t break free from his grip and followed along leaving Jason there smiling at us as we walked away. 

“Zina, stay away from Jason, he’s no good” he said while continuing to take big strides towards the front of the venue. I’m sure as bad as Jason is he can’t be as bad as Mr. Christian with this arrogance and playboy attitude. 

We quickly greeted the host, apparently it was Jason’s mom’s birthday which is why they held the party. I watched as Mr. Christian greeted her and gave her a hug before taking out the box he put in his pocket previously and handed it to her. ‘So that was her birthday gift’ I thought to myself while subconsciously touching my necklace as I watched Mr. Christian made his way back to me. I swear as he walked towards me my heart beat quicker and I felt my core tighten up a bit at how sexy he is. 

As Mr. Christian made his way back towards me, he took his arm and wrapped it around my waist before ushering me towards other people we did business with. The whole time his arms were around my waist and although at first I was a little uncomfortable with the whole physical contact, I realized it’s just how Mr. Christian is, he’s very casual with physical contact and shrugged against the thought of this being anything more.
