His Corazón

2. His Life

Lucas's pov

You all must be Knowing me, I am Lucas Moretti, the sole owner of Moretti Enterprises. I built this company with everything. I sacrificed my teenage years to build this huge empire and make my parents proud of me.

Mom and dad love me so much, being the only son has its advantages. I get all of their love but right now I am missing them both so much. It has been 2 months since I last went to visit them in Spain.

I have built my empire in New York. I am also known as the shadow in the underworld. Well, it's nothing new since it's the US we are talking about.

I am on my way towards the company. I will have a new secretary today.

Hopefully, she will be good at her work since the last one was fired after she tried to touch me. That was the first girl secretary I had, before her all were males since the ladies just wanted to get into my pants.

I entered the office building and everyone greeted me while i acknowledged a few with a stern nod. I took my private elevator to the top floor. The security guard at the entrance greeted me while I nodded.

I sat in my cabin doing some work and waiting for the secretary to arrive. She was to arrive at 8 am sharp.

I was engrossed in reading the file when I heard a knock. I yelled a come in and a very beautiful looking girl entered. She looks like an indian or asian.

Her silky black hairs were flowing till her lower back. A few hair strands , falling on her face. Her beautiful black eyes were deep. She was fair and her figure was not too thin nor too fat. Her height would be around 5'4. She was a perfect indian girl, very pretty I might add. 

I noticed she was checking me out, i smirked seeing that. I snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Done checking me out?" Her expression mirrored a deer caught in the headlight. I suppressed my laugh and tried to keep a stern face.

She is my secretary and she needs to be scared of me. I can't be too lenient with her.

"I wasn't-" but I cut her off.

"Leave it. Let me brief you about your work." She nodded her head and i continued, "Not everyone has access to this floor, so make sure to have your id with you. You need to make my schedule, attend calls and be available for my help, you need to attend meetings with me and keep notes." She again nodded her head.

"Clear?" She nodded her head again. Gosh! Can't she speak or something ? But she wished me.

"Words."

"Okay." Her voice was timid and I didn't like it, even a bit. She was about to leave.

"Did I ask you to leave?"

"Sorry sir, i-"

"Stop stuttering, I hate people who shutter. If you want to keep your job, stop this stuttering."

"Sorry sir, I won't repeat it." I nodded my head.

"Every morning, you should report at 8 am and I need my coffee the first thing."

"Okay sir, anything else?"

"No, you may go. Your desk is just outside my cabin. You just need to read these past files to get a better understanding of the deals this company worked in before." She nodded and left.

I sighed and leaned back on my chair. I can't understand this feeling. Why the hell is she affecting me so much? I should try to maintain my distance from this girl.

I was busy signing on the paper when the intercom rang. I looked confused but picked up the call but the words from the other side made me grin, like an idiot I might add.
