First Love's Secret

chapter 19

This is like a dream come true, "Assistant Editor-in-chief" oh, I can't help to read it over and over again, and it was like a mantra in my head. How did I end up having this one? I didn't expect this after all those stressful misadventures happening in my life, I still can't figure out if I do really deserve this place.

      I still can't believe working here was like working in your own company, how come I didn't experience this from my previous company, all the revisions and pile of paper works Susie prepared for me, but here? It was like, checking, monitoring and validating, no stress at all! How weird was that knowing that I'm just a 1 week old newbie here?

  I was supposed to enter the pantry when I heard Lhianne and the others chatting inside, "How come she didn't even received any of Timbro's lectures and high tone speeches? Isn't that weird? There is something happening here, she's an intruder" I can hear Lhianne's high bratty tone from here.

      I continued with my grand entrance when I noticed that they are all eyes on me, except for Lhianne who is now curling her strands through her fingers and it was like nothing's happening behind my back, well too late b*tch.

      I smiled at them then approached the coffeemaker for some tasty brewed coffee. One by one they exited, and then I was now alone with Ms. Bratty b*tch here.

      "Who are you?" I was surprised with her question, I made a small laugh, "I'm serious, who the hell are you?" again, she asked with a little louder this time. "Well, I was once a bitch from hell like you" she knows I didn't took her question seriously, so she just rolled her eyes and left. That would shut her fake Angelina Jolie-like lips.

      When I came back to my post, Mr. Tombre called me from his office, "Carrie, we will be having an unscheduled meeting today, be ready you will soon meet him." My eyes widen, "him?" Tombre cleared out that it's the CEO, well I might give him a very big hug for trusting me this big position.

      The conference was full of people with high positions and greater responsibilities; too bad Ms. bratty bitch is present too. I also saw Badj, who is entering the room who looked so charming with his gray suit, he saw me and we shared a warm smile.

      Everyone are now seated and getting ready before the CEO comes, unluckily I was seated at the back near the exit door and having nearsightedness, I might have a blurry view of our CEO. I frowned, then he came, everyone rose from their seats to welcome him, another bad thing of being petite, the only thing my nearsighted eyes and cute height can get is his suit which is immaculate corporate black suit and his just-showered hair, but one thing's for sure, he is much younger than the age I was expecting him to have.

      "He is young" I softly whispered at myself but with her talent of eavesdropping Lhianne told me, "yes, so much, and for your information he is a bachelor yet he has tastes" I know she's referring to me, taste? Well, the feeling's mutual my life is almost fucked up he has all the right to dislike me.

      We we're all seated, but my blurry vision still made it too hard for me to look at his facial features, but something's telling inside me that this guy is familiar. I studied his husky tone, his lovely voice, very familiar that there is already someone who's inside my mind.

       After the meeting, but still my mind's in deep thoughts, Badj approached me. "There is someone you must meet, Carrie" I can feel excitement in him as he pulled me somewhere, "OH, the CEO" I told him, but I don't feel any excitement in my words, why am I so nervous, oh why not? He's the CEO, he must have expected too much and high standards on me.

      Then we end up to where Mr. Timbre, and Ms. Luis are standing, and waiting for me. And there he is so immaculate and young, he's back facing at us. Then clearing his throat Mr. Timbre introduced me "Uhm sir, let me introduce to you our new Assistant editor-in chief, Ms. Carina Lee" I was like smiling up to my ears and making myself feel and look good, when he turned around. "Drew?!" I was like being crushed by the highest building on earth, he looked serious and our eyes locked.
