Her first day as secretary came by quickly and she got prepared for it. She chose to wear a red formal dress that hugged her curves flawlessly.
She arrived at the workplace ten minutes early and beguiled at the opulence of the skyscraper before her. She continued to gaze upon it when she bumped into a man causing her bag to fall to the ground.
“I am so sorry, let me get that for you”, he said as he picked the bag up and handed it to her. They locked eyes for a moment as he marveled at her beauty.
“It’s fine, I was in too much of a hurry,” she said to him and she quickly dashed into the building without saying another word to him.
She made her way to the first floor and met the receptionist “Hello I am Mr Greyson's new secretary” She informed her so she could be directed to her office.
“Hello I am Anabelle,” she said with a smile which Alessia returned, “Right this way, miss, press the tenth floor on the elevator and a lady will direct you to your office once you get there”.
Alessia thanked her as she walked into the elevator and arrived on the tenth floor. The lady introduced herself as Diana to Alessia and she led her to the office of the secretary.
Alessia looked around to see the office of the CEO two rooms away from hers but the seat was empty, she was told he wouldn’t be present today.
She settled in and marveled at her office which was twice the size of her small room. She was given a tour of the places that were of interest to her and was set to go home at the end of the day.
“Bye, I will see you guys tomorrow,” Alessia told Diana and Anabelle as the both of them were talking and they waved each other off.
Alessia was disappointed that she couldn’t meet Mr. Billionaire today but was also thrilled because she knew she wasn’t ready to lay eyes on him.
She was falling asleep when she got a notification from an unknown number. Her mouth was agape when she saw who it was from.
Come to my office first thing in the morning. Do not be late.
-Greyson M.
Alessia got prepared for work as she was going to meet Mr Billionaire today.
She arrived early and went to her office after greeting Anabelle at the reception. She couldn’t help but feel nervous about what she was going to encounter.
She sat down on her office chair and she heard the workers announce “He’s coming”, “He’s coming” and she could only wonder what kind of boss he was to them that would make them go into a frenzy.
His bodyguards surrounded and escorted him to his office, Alessia could barely see his face. She got a call saying that Mr. Miller would like to see her in his office as soon as possible.
She made fidgeting steps toward his office. She wasn’t mentally prepared to see him and the workers had given the impression that he was unapproachable.
Alessia knocked on his door and he told her “Come in”. She was in awe of the interior decor of his office as she stepped in and it was much bigger than hers.
She looked through the entire office before her eyes met with a pair of dark brown eyes and a charming face.
Greyson didn’t notice her staring at him because his attention was taken by his Macbook the whole time she was standing there.
“Are you going to keep staring at me all day or have a seat?”, he said with his eyes still focused on the Macbook, Alessia instantly snapped out of her daydream and took the seat opposite him.
“I have reviewed the CV you sent to my email and it’s pleasing to know you have the qualifications to be my secretary, I didn’t expect this knowing the family you are coming from”, he said derisively.
“Excuse you, just because I don't come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean I couldn’t have a standard education, You are so arrogant”, Alessia remarked.
Greyson gripped her by the neck making it impossible for Alessia to breathe as he said, “Mind the way you talk to me woman, there are consequences for disrespect here”.
Alessia nodded her head in agreement which made him let go of her, She rubbed her neck as she quickly got up to leave but Greyson stopped her.
“You must complete all the paperwork on your desk and have them submitted to my desk at the end of the day before leaving, is that clear?”.
“Yes sir”, Alessia said in a hurry and proceeded to shut the door behind her as she left.
After completing the work on her desk, Alessia got a call from her friend. She was in the middle of the call when Greyson escorted a girl into his office.
“Sierra, we haven’t even gotten married but I’ve already seen Greyson bring more than two girls into his office” Alessia informed her friend.
“What a womanizer”, Sierra stated, “Babe don't worry about him, just focus on this high-paying job you have now” Alessia thanked her for the advice and ended the call.
The paperwork Alessia was told to do kept on multiplying and her hands felt like they were going to fall apart.
She smiled at herself at the end of the day as she was able to submit all the files on Greyson’s desk. She looked into the office and saw no sign of the girl he brought in earlier.
As she was about to step out of his office she could swear she saw a change in his eye color but she waved it off.
“Wait let me give you a ride home,” Greyson said while packing up his Macbook and putting on his coat.
She was shocked at this man’s benevolence when he almost wanted to take her life earlier today “There is no need for that sir, I will be fine going on my own”
Greyson looked at her and said, “I wasn’t asking you, I’m ordering you, so get in the elevator and stop making unnecessary excuses”.
Without any more arguments, Alessia packed up her things in the office and made her way to the elevator, she got a notification that instantly put a smile on her face.
I love you Alessia, always remember that.
-Ashton, your man.
Her eyes met a sleek black luxurious sports car as they got outside, She opened the door and was immediately greeted by the driver.
“Good evening madam, I’m Ralph, Mr Miller's driver. It is nice to finally meet you” he said with a genuine smile.
“Nice to meet you, Ralph. I’m Alessia” she told him but she guessed he already knew who she was from the ‘finally’ used in his statement.
“We will drop her at her house Ralph”, Greyson informed him, then Alessia went on to give him the address.
They dropped her off and she made her way to the doorsteps of her house. She was welcomed by her parents and was about to retire to her room when her mother called her back.
“My dear we will be going to pick out your wedding dress tomorrow with Greyson’s mother”. Mrs. Xanwood told her with a broad smile.
“Okay mum” Alessia replied, faking a smile to her enthusiastic mother.
How splendid! Alessia said to herself as she continued to make her way to her room.
