SMITTEN BY HER (unedited)

Mr. Lee? That's his name?

Sophia hesitated, unsure of what to do. She didn't want to work for him, but she also didn't want to go back to the human traffickers.

And then there was her dream of becoming a veterinarian... she couldn't give up on that. Not at this point.

"What do I have to do?" she asked finally, trying to sound strong.

He smiled, his eyes gleaming with triumph making her roll her eyes within her.

"I'll tell you all about it," he said.
"But first, let's get one thing straight. You'll do exactly as I say, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Sophia nodded, trying to hide her fear. She knew she had to play along, at least for now. With time she knows that the storm would soon be over.

He nodded, seeming to accept her agreement. "Good," he said. "Now, let's talk about your new job." He says with a smirk.

As he explained what he wanted Sophia to do, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

She was going to be working for him, doing tasks that she didn't want to do.

But she also knew that she had to keep her dream alive, no matter what and although she tries telling him that she isn't even done with school, talk more of going into the higher institution but he didn't just mind as long he knows she capable.

      Sophia had to act as his secretary for only heaven knows why.

"I'll do it," she said finally, trying to sound convincing. "But I have one condition."

He raised an eyebrow, seeming to be amused. "What's that?" he asked.

Sophia took a deep breath, trying to be brave. "I want to go back to school," she said. "I want to become a veterinarian."

He laughed, the sound sending shivers down Sophia's spine. "You're a funny girl," he said. "But I'll tell you what. If you do exactly as I say, I might just let you pursue your little dream."

Sophia nodded, trying to hide her excitement. She knew it was a long shot, but she had to try. She was going to become a veterinarian, no matter what.

Then his phone rang  ending the conversation.

      "Mr. Lee i hope you haven't yet forgotten the appointment" Sophia hears a guy say over his phone.

°Mr. Lee? That's his name? It sounds quite familiar°

"I'm heading to the office, so  i will tell my P. M to take you around" He said about going.

"Is that necessary? " Sophia ask as he turn with a 'yeah' look.

"Ok but i've to take a rest" She says letting out a fake yawn.

"Haven't you rested enough?" He asked as she shook her head.

"I'm not depriving you of your sleep" He says coldly and with that he walks away.

"Take care " She says as she continued to explore his room and although it is a magnificent, it made her feel that here is more than just a room.

      "If not black what else" She said when she opened his closet to see different outfit with totally different brands but all in black.

She walks to the veranda and what she saw left her mouth dropping.

  "This guy damn f**king rich.... Take a  look, he's even leaving in an estate. Only if they knew how much an estate house cost in Niger.

Large enough to train you through the higher institution" She says admiration.

    "Sophia you're really lucky" She tells herself with a smile. She hops to his bed.

"Silly guy, you thought i won't figure out your name, too bad i did" She says bouncing on the bed.

°I need to take a.......  I'm just fully awake and strong. °Sophia thought to herself as she sat upright.

"Good Day Mr. Lee, here are the files" She practiced on how possible she will make it out as his secretary.

What's his plan? Is she really ganna be his secretary and why? Will she ever pursue her dreams?
