His Headstrong Secretary (Completed!)

Chapter 3

Zina’s POV

His words still rang in the back of my mind as I made my way back to the bar, ‘Quit. If you need more money become mine, become my toy and I’ll give you everything you want and more’, just what does he treat me as, a little slut that’ll do what he wants? Whatever, I rejected him already so he should catch my drift and leave me alone, I just need this job to pay my loans and my bills and when I have enough saved, I’ll quit and go back to school. 

As we wrapped up serving the last people, Steven handed me an envelope with my pay and I let. Steven was sad I wasn’t helping him anymore but I told him if he ever needs an extra pair of hands I’ll be willing to offer them, of course occasionally only.

I spent the weekend at home with mom and dad. Mom and dad are still working at the hospital, dad’s an accountant at the hospital and mom’s a nurse, so it’s rare to have the same days off all together due to mom’s weird schedule, usually she has weekdays off but because of school I rarely saw them. I told mom and dad about the new job and they were ecstatic, they were so proud of me getting my own job with such an amazing pay right out of college, I told them Professor McNeal helped me as she knew someone in the company and they told me I must treat her out to dinner and thank her. I decided to email Professor McNeal when I got home to see if she was free for dinner anytime soon, as a thank you like my parents said.

Monday came around quickly and it was already 7:35am when I headed out the doors. Being Mr. Christian’s secretary meant I needed to be there at work before him to get his day ready. Stella, as reluctant as she was, showed me the ropes when I went in for my interview on Thursday, only once though as she didn’t repeat herself or rarely answered my questions. Thankfully I was smart enough to figure it out myself. 

At 9am on the dot, the glass doors that separated Stella and I opened and Mr. Christian walked in. I got up from my desk to greet him on a good morning and saw him look me up and down and let out a huge sigh before walking into his room waving me to sit down. Within 5 minutes he messaged me to get him a coffee downstairs, black no sugar, what a bitter man. Coming back from the elevators and onto the 62nd floor, I noticed Stella gone from her usual spot, giving no attention to it. I opened the doors separating my desk from the receptionist area and heard moaning sounds coming from within. I didn’t even have to think twice and knew that Stella was in Mr. Christian’s office doing the deed. It was really difficult for me to concentrate on the documents as all I heard was: ‘Harder Mr. Christian’, ‘Yes yes yes right there!’, ‘So deep and so big!’ and many more that I didn’t need to hear. 

After 15 minutes, of what seemed like forever, Stella walked out of his office and smirked at me when she realized I came back from the coffee run Mr. Christian sent me. She was disheveled as her lipstick was smeared and clothes were wrinkled, I’m pretty sure I saw her stockings were also ripped. After a few minutes of waiting, giving Mr. Christian some time to fix himself, I knocked on his door to find him opening the door himself. He looked at me as I stared at his hard rock abs, but quickly looking away and handing him the coffee as he was still buttoning his shirt. He must have noticed as he smirked and looked at the coffee in my hand, but slowly as his entire hand enveloped mine and grabbed the cup after touching my entire hand first. God why does he have to be so hot! I mentally screamed at myself to keep looking away and headed back to my desk to work. 

Working here was extremely trivial, at first I organized his schedule and called to confirm meetings, then organized all the files he recently finished by company and date. Being an English Major and very detail oriented I finished quicker than expected and had some leisure time to check my phone. I opened up my email and saw a reply from Professor McNeal:

Zina,

I would be delighted to have dinner with you! I’m away for the next month or so but would love to invite you to my birthday party when I’m back (I’ll message you the details when I return). I hope your new job finds you well! If you ever run into trouble, don’t hesitate to reach out to me! And you can just call me Rebecca, don’t be so formal with me!

Love,

Rebecca McNeal

Professor McNeal always asked me to call her Rebecca but I was just too in awe with her intellect and beauty that I felt disrespectful if I did so I stuck with Professor McNeal. I was so immersed in reading my emails that I didn’t notice Mr. Christian in front of my desk until he let out a cough to get my attention. I immediately stood up and he raised an eyebrow at my sudden movement. 

“Come, we’re going out for lunch.” He said taking my wrist and pulling me towards the elevator. I didn’t even have enough time to grab my purse before I was already on the elevator headed towards the basement. 

“Mr. Christian, thank you but no thank you.” I rejected and tried to stay on the elevator when we reached the basement. 

“Come.” He said looking me dead in the eyes made me shiver a little, even though he was angry, he was an angry and attractive me. s**t! Stop Zina, he’s an ass stop I mentally slapped myself and shook my head to tell him ‘no’ again but he didn’t seem to get it. 

“Zina Moyes, I’m not saying it again. Get out of the elevator.” He ordered angrily to which I raised an eyebrow, he did not just yell at me. 

“You are the boss of me but you can’t order me around like I belong to you Mr. Christian. I have the right to decide who and where I would like to have my lunch sir. I am not one of your little sluts that will just listen to you because you are handsome and attractive so don’t treat me like one of them’ I said standing firm on my ground f**k did I just tell him in the face that I think he’s handsome? God I’m an i***t. 

He reached out a hand and held the elevator doors open and smiled instead of getting angrier. “Look Zina, I’m taking you out as an apology for what I said yesterday.” He said pulling me towards him caused me to trip between the elevator crevice and the floor landing into this chest. 

“And thank you for admitting that I’m handsome and attractive” he whispered in my ears before I pulled away turning a deep red. He chuckled a very single chuckle, sending shivers down my spine and pulled me to his car. He must have noticed how nervous I was as he placed a hand on my knee and said, “it’s just lunch, nothing more, I promise.” Before taking his hand back and starting the engine.
