Nick's POV (Unedited)
Two years later.....
I was sitting, looking blankly at the ceiling in my new office at Gastov Industries. It's been a month now since my father diagnosed with stage two lung cancer..
At first, I thought that he was just acting like he used to do before, just to make me handle his empire, but I was wrong this time. As a doctor and a son, I want to personally care for him, but he's pretty insisted on it. He told me that he can't rule anymore and that his empire needs me. And that's why I'm here, things change, I mean my life change, after I rule this company.
Oh, god... I may be the best doctor, but I don't know if I will be able to handle this company on my own. I heave a long, deep sigh, thinking too much about the outcome of my first day of work since I went on a training two weeks ago..
I stop in mid thinking when someone knocks on the door...
Good morning, Sir... Ms. Scarlet Mckelly is here.. Ms. Reid, my new secretary said as she accede in my office.
What? Why she's here? I asked, completely dumbfounded as I thought... Okay... Let her in.. I said in a monotone voice..
After I said that, Scarlet accedes in my office with a big smile plastered on her beautiful face..
Hi, Scarlet... I greeted. What are you doing in here? Does Dr. Eddison have a conference here? I asked, plastered a fake smile on my face.
Hello too... Sweetheart.. You're too obvious that you don't want me here. She smiled coquettishly as she strode towards me..
I met Scarlet in Las Vegas when I have my conference there. She becomes the secretary of Dr. Eddison which also a friend of mine. I like her, but it doesn't mean that I love her.. Love is not my cup of tea.. Our relationship lasts in bed only as I don't want to complicate things and I told her that, before she agreed to become my mistress. She knows how to turn on a man in bed. In short, she's great to give pleasure to every man's needy. And it's almost a three weeks now since I end up between us.
Scarlet, I already told you that I don't have any feelings for you, right from the start. I reprimand, pulled out her hands that clung to my neck.
I know, but didn't you miss me? Cause I missed you already.. She bit her pouty red lips, while she sat down on my lap.
Scarlet! Stop! Don't make any scene here in my office! I warned.. I'm sorry.. I can't afford to go back to you again. As I said that to her, she instantly stood up, out of my lap..
Damn you! Nick! She shouts out hysterically.. I will make sure that you will come back to me again, no matter what! She hissed and left, shut the door forcefully..
Shit! I muttered angrily.
After what happened that morning, the rest of the day went smooth.. I already instructed my new secretary not to let Ms. Mckelly enter the building unless I permit it. Speaking of my new secretary, she's the third one I hired when the two of them, I fired because they tried to flirt with me..
God! I hate those kind of women.. They only want my money. Gold digger as to be called.. I shook my head as I pondered about it...
Every day seems like a hell to me, since I handled our company.. Unlike when I was a doctor, I can still have the spare time to enjoy myself, but now... I don't know.. I have to work triple time.. I thought as I lay on my bed...
