Julianne's POV -

I joined the company several weeks ago. I got used being the secretary for Mr. Gallant. He isn't too demanding, but at times when he is stressed, he tends to yell at people. At first, I was afraid of him because I though he was going to be like Mr. Adams. Turns out, that he is completely different.

He specifically told all his employers that they have to wear decent clothes before stepping foot on his company. I usually just wear long pants with either full sleeved shirt or half sleeve shirt. I got more conservative after the incident with Mr. Adams.

Over several weeks, I got to know him better as well. Outside of office, he has a soft, caring, and childish personality. However, in office, he was dominant and he needs everything done at that moment.

When I first started working here, a girl named Paula showed me around. She was the same girl that was talking on the phone with someone when I first came to interview. She was explaining all the rules, but they seem really simple and self explanatory.

I am not some CEO of a company, but some of the rules like, "Properly dress yourself and not the cheap clothes you have on."

I just turned my head not wanting to get in a fight with her on my first day. I looked around trying to distract me from my anger.

She the audacity to comment on my clothes when the clothes she was wearing didn't even cover her body. It was truly disgusting how she presented herself to the world. I didn't really care about her because she was leaving anyway.

She always had this arrogance around her. She treated me as if I can never replace her. The one thing she said before she left was, "Even though you are new, you are cheap. Don't worry, he will come back to me crying about how much he missed me. Don't expect to always be there for him."

She smirked one last time at me and left the building. As she exited the building, she got out her IPhone 6S and started talking on it with such powerful emotions.

Now, I turned my attention back to my desk and the pile of papers that needed attentions. I got up, and started filing them before my office phone rang.

I answered it, "Hello. This Gallant Enterprises. What can I do for you?"

The person on the other side chuckled. It was deep, smooth and velvety. I knew that voice anywhere, it was Jayden.

I replied back into the phone, "Yes, Sir?"

He answered with amusement, "I need the Avery Holstead's file in my office."

I answered straight away, "Yes sir. Ill get it to you right away."

As soon as I got of the phone with him, I searched for the Holstead's file in the H cabinet. As soon as I found it, I walked to his office. I knocked the door before entering in.

"Come in" a slight faint voice was heard. I pushed open the door and walked inside. I greeted him before handing the file to him. "Here you go sir. Anything else I can do?"

He silently looked at me before snapping out of his trance and negatively shook his head. I slightly nodded my head with confusion as to why he was looking at me like that. I started to head before he interrupted me.

"Ms. Hartford, would you like to come to dinner with me. We are having a business meeting with several of the company's partners. If you were there and take notes on the material we are talking about, it would be helpful."

I was thinking about my plans for today afternoon. I didn't have any at the moment, so I agreed to go along with him.

"I can make it sir. Where and what time should I meet you sir?"
