Shadow Play

18. Elizabeth

        I nodded rapidly as Melissa went over my duties as a secretary to the CEO.

  She showed me to my desk, which was in the CEO's office with only a glass wall and blinds separating us.
  She kept rambling on and on about how I must be as fast as lightning when working. I wasn't paying attention; what got my attention was how grand the office was.

" Are you even listening?" Her rude voice rang and I jumped out of my reverie.

I gave a small smile ." of course.”

Her glare told me she didn't believe me ." And lastly, you must never,  ever,  harbour any form of romantic feelings towards the boss. It is strictly prohibited!"

I raised a brow." Why would I  in the first place ?"

She folded her hands across her chest." Because every single lady, especially the likes of you, wants to end up in his bed. And you'll probably use this as an opportunity to get closer to him.”She blurted out.

I rolled my eyes ." Please, I've seen way more handsome and hot guys.” I didn't know why but my mind suddenly went to Eren.

Our encounter yesterday was still lingering at the back of my mind. After our little chat, he took me home in silence and asked if I was ready to sleep with him. I told him to give me some time to think about it and then he left.

At least he isn't trying to force himself on me.

She scoffed." We'll see about that. I hope you get caught on his bed.” She muttered and stomped out of the office. I watched as she swayed her fat ass out of the office. Who the hell wears a tight revealing gown to work?

    My guts told me that she either had a secret crush on our boss or was just jealous that I got to work closer to him. Either way, I was only here for the cash.

I went back to my desk and prepared my mind for work before Mr CEO arrived.

It didn't seem that hard; all I had to do was adjust and Inform him of his schedule, making sure to prioritize important meetings and then go through his emails, deleting unimportant ones.
   Then, I also had to sort out a pile of documents and go with him wherever he went.

Easy right?

Well, not until I opened his mail. There were thousands of emails, I almost cried as I sat on my desk. Well, if I wanted to go halfway, I  better start now. 
       I kept glancing at the door and wall clock every second. It was 9 pm, and the so-called CEO wasn't here yet.
           My butt began to hurt and so I took a walk round his office. I went over to his table despite my instincts telling me not to snoop around. There were a few files arranged neatly on the black table.

"Shouldn't you be at your desk ?" A voice sounded behind me.

I tensed,  slowly turning around to face my boss. " Umm...I was just getting to know my surroundings.”
I muttered.

He quirked a brow and stepped closer, his expensive suit straining with each movement. I used the opportunity to clear the way for him.

    "Good morning, Mrs Rhodes."He uttered, placing his suitcase on the table and turning fully to face me.

     "Good morning, Sir.” I smiled sweetly." I should return to my desk now.” I turned on my heels to hurry back to my haven.

       He had started giving me a weird look; his eyes had been on my boobs since he walked in.

I get it,  I had nice boobs.

"Mrs Rhodes !" He called.

Plastering a smile on my face,  I replied"Yes, how can I help you, sir ?"
