THE HOT CEO's ASSISTANT

CHAPTER 13

Astreus Lynx Perveus’s POV

“Ugh fuck.. why does it keeps ringing.." I groaned and slowly sit down and grab my phone.

I look at who’s the caller is and my forehead furrowed when i saw the president’s name, why is he calling me?

I didn’t answer the call and when it hang up my eyes widened because he missed call 28 times.

I immediately stand up and went to the bathroom while ringing the phone, he pick up right away.

“Secretary Lynx, where have you been? I’ve been waiting for you since 6am” He said coldly, i flinched.

I don’t know why i feel a sudden electricity to my whole body, is my body reacting just by hearing his voice?

“Ahh yes sir.. i’m on my way” I said nervously.

“On your way or on the water? Faster, i’m gonna be late” He said and hang up the phone, i slap my forehead and quickly brush my teeth.

Wala na akong oras para maligo kaya nilinis ko nalang ang katawan ko at napakunot ang noo ko dahil may hickey ako sa leeg.

“Who the f*ck put this thing on me?" I asked myself in annoyance and took a stinky bandage to put on it, what I don’t like the most is putting a mark on my neck.

But i don’t have a choice because I badly need to go before my boss got pissed off.

Talagang hindi s’ya makakaalis na wala ako dahil na sa’kin ang sasakyan n’ya kaya tuwing aalis s’ya ay dapat kasama ako.

Hindi na talaga dapat ako umiinom ng marami dahil hindi ako nagigising sa alarm clock, nakakainis.

Kaagad akong nagbihis at lumabas condo ko bago patakbong nagtungo sa sasakyan at nang makasakay ako ay nagmamadali ko itong pinaharurot.

He’s been waiting for me since 6am and it’s already 8am, i’m f*cked up for sure he’ll scold me.

After a minute i arrive at his house so i enter quietly.

Nang nasa harapan na ako ng pintuan ay pumasok na rin ako, walang ibang magtatangkang pumasok dito dahil nakakatakot ang labas ng bahay.

Pagpasok ko ay pansin kong walang pagkakaiba ang bahay, ganun pa rin noong huling punta ko rito.

Nagtungo ako sa living room at doon ko s’ya nakitang nakaupo at nagbabasa ng news paper habang naka cross ang mga binti at may hawak na kape.

“Hmm?” I flinched when he glance at me, he’s wearing a glasses and it suits him with his attire.

The figure of him I imagined last night at the bar suddenly came to my mind so I quickly looked away and clear my throat.

“Goodmorning sir” I greeted him and i was trying to hide my nervousness.

“They already cancelled the meeting, have a sit" I walked to the sofa with my face confused and sat there.

He usually scolds me when i’m late and he didn’t attend the meeting, but why does he seem to just let it go now? it’s like he’s acting really different.

“Aren’t you going to the company sir?" I asked politely, he put down the news paper and looked at me.

“No, Giovanni’s taking care of the company” He said while staring at me so i got nervous again, the hell is happening to me?

“Here’s your macaroons sir” Gulat akong napabaling ng tingin sa babaeng nag lapag ng macaroons sa lamesa at pati juice.

May tao? I thought he doesn’t like hiring someone to be his helper?

“Anyway that’s Carla, she’ll be your workmate since you can’t clean this whole house without someone’s help” He said and drink his coffee, i glance at the girl and she quickly look away when our eyes met.

She’s so young, maybe 17 or 18 old?

“Then, can i start now?” I asked and he just nodded so i stand up and went towards her, i saw her flinched that made me giggled.

“Hi i’m Lynx, your workmate” I said softly and gently, she turn towards me and we shake hands before she continue doing the dishes.

I heard the water boiling so I immediately turned off the stove.

“You look familiar, are you perhaps a student in JHB high school?” I asked and her eyes widened in response but eventually nodded.

“Y-yes you’re right, are you a student there too?” She asked and i nodded.

“I drop out” I simply said and help her with the plate.

“Ohh.. me too" I turned to her for a moment but I just kept quiet and didn’t ask any more questions.

Just because i drop out doesn’t mean i’m a low avarage pips, i still graduated in high school but then there was a problem in our family.

Nag divorce ang mga magulang ko at ang dalawa kong kapatid ang tigisa nilang kinuha, ang babae ay kay mama at kay papa ang lalaki.

Pinapili nila ako kung kanino ako sasama pero ayoko maging unfair sa dalawang kapatid ko kaya umalis ako, hindi ako sumama kahit kanino sa kanilang dalawa.

Since highschool graduate naman ako ay naisipan ko maghanap ng trabaho at matataas ang standard ng iba kaya hindi na ako umasang tatanggapin ako.

So I owe my life to the president because he accepted me to work for him, even if I fail him sometimes, I still repay him.

Mahirap na matanggal sa trabaho, baka sa kalsada na ako pulutin.

Ilang buwan ko na ring hindi nakikita ang pamilya ko, pero kinakamusta ko naman sila sa malapit na mapagtatanungan kaya alam ko parin ang lagay nila.

I put all my hard work into having sex because somehow the pain is reduced, but now i’m getting tired of my routine.

Sometimes I feel like giving up, but i kept thinking that i’m a loser if I give up so easily.

I hate my life, it’s fucked up.
