Miss Secretary takes charge

Chapter 50 (Part 2)

Recap

    "You know Kingston Corp wouldn't miss out on smart ones" Henry stated.
"So, I'm hired?" She asked in surprise.
"Of course, I would inform Mr Smith to accommodate you in finance"
"Not necessary" Julie replied firmly.
"Why?"
"Because I am applying for a different job thats vacant for sometime now" she paused and looked straight at his eyes and said,

"For the Personal Secretary to the CEO"

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Henry could feel a whirlpool of emotions inside him. What is she trying to do, the Julie, he knew would be well guarded of her emotions, who would be timid and react less. But this Julie 2.0 version is full of surprises and fireworks.

She took out the repaired vase and gave it to him as a gift. He observed it closely,
"Kintsugi?" he asked.
She nodded her head, "I am sorry for hurting you and I am determined to mend our broken Bond"
"Do you think it is that easy?" Henry questioned.
"I am going to win your heart whatever it takes and make our bond even more stronger than it already is" she said confidently.
"Is that a challenge?" Henry smirked.
"Of course it is..." She came closer to his ears, locked her hands over his neck and said,
"..Darlinggg.."
in a seductive voice. She looked at his shocked eyes and gone closer to his face, slowly rubbed her lips on his skin and kissed his cheeks inches away from his lips.

Henry's POV

Bianca, the Senator Mr. Hebrews daughter was sitting with me. She was trying to keep up the conversation with me.

I wouldn't be sitting in this loud party if not for the official invite. I cannot get my mind out of my grandfather and Julie's conversation. He had always belittled her, chased her away so I would find a bride to carry out the lineage. How sick and ridiculous was that, it's not about any rat race, it's something that connects Hearts. Its atrocious to pull such a stunt in breaking someone completely and call it a test of resilience. Why would he choose to find a girl for me, because our ideas would never match. I would look out for more meaningful virtues and personalities in a girl to live a life together rather looking for her social status and her career profile.

Bianca was hellbent on getting my attention and convince me to dance, wish I could say "Fuck off girl" but I managed to smile and refused politely.

That's when the girl who has my heart walked past me. She got up on the dance floor and instantly raised my heartbeat. I could see no one but her. Her bold moves where garnering attention, she looked at Bianca and sang.
"You need to let it go..
No No No.."
This girl is sassy and definitely up to something. She was fiery and glowing on the dance floor. She just put me in a magic spell, the way her hips swayed had turned me On big time.

I was wrong again, I thought the pain she had inflicted when she had gone would be fresh and I can't able to forgive her, but who am I joking, my body is already dancing to the tunes and turns of her body. Then she extended her hand towards me, it was like she was pulling at my invisible red string towards her. I walked up to her and I was holding her tightly and not let the dance stop. Once it was over, to save her from prying eyes and filthy mind of the men, I took her out.

When she said she was helping me to get rid of Bianca, I laughed but my heart swelled with warmth, she would always stand up for me and protect me beside the fact that I am a Kingston and I can very well defend myself if I have to. She was too adorable when the alcohol started kicking in. It would be fun to be around a tipsy Julie, where you can witness all raw emotions and thoughts would spill out of her.

Her already sexy eyes were even more dazed with the dose of alcohol, which just provoked my masculine senses.

She was too innocent when she said that she would pay back for her mistakes and win my heart over. My heart always reacts and rises to her presence, she doesn't need to put much of an effort to win it. Still, I put up a facade and asked her "how?"

Her response just launched me to the clouds, she wanted to come back to Kingston Corp and work. Although I was happy, her career would be at stake due to her hasty decision, all her hard work, hours of reading, analysing and those efforts she had put in this one year as financial analyst that earned her UN youth award would be futile.

I advised her not to demote herself. But she was the one convincing me that she would handle it. The gleam in her eyes, when I said she was hired, is a treat to watch. I was more happy than her to witness it. Yet she dropped another bombshell that she was applying as my Personal Secretary. I gaped like a confused Fish, I could feel the myriad of emotions in me. Like I said, this girl is definitely up to something.

She extended a gift bag to me and I found a broken vase mended through Kintsugi Art. What a beautiful recreation and a thoughtful way to repair it. I wanted to make her realise how carelessly she broke our beautiful bond that stirred so much pain in me. But I regretted dropping the vase when I saw the pain in her eyes while I said this is what happened to us. However, her smartness in mending the vase with the art just touched my heart.

She was sorry for hurting me and said she would mend our bond like she did it with the vase. The confidence in her eyes when she said she would make our bond stronger, I just believed in her but to rile her up, I asked her is that a challenge to make the game more interesting. She beat me to it as she came closer to me, put her hands around my neck and whispered, "Darling" she knows how to play me.
The seduction in her voice provoked me to lose all control and kiss her senselessly, but she is such a tease as she slowly caressed my cheeks with her lips, her hot breath tickling all my senses, she kissed the corner of my lips. The heat quickly spread my body and brought out a throbbing boner.

She did not know what she's playing with, it took all my might to keep my hands to myself as desire consumed my brain since she stood dangerously close to me. My control slipping every passing second, but I wanted to let her stage her drama in her style. I would like to see the upgraded and bolder version of Julie and what she has in store for playing this game with me.
