His Personal Assistant

Chapter 17

Three months later, Ray starts to act out, by playing women by a string. He reels them in and then cut them off by the end of the night. It has become like this, ever since he found out Destiny was going out with Derek. However, when he had sent an investigator to look into Derek's past he founds out what he really is.

Normal POV

When I had gotten a call from Derek, while I was typing a report on the computer. I picked up my phone and answered his call on the second ring.

"Hey, Destiny. I was wondering if you would like to come over for dinner tonight at my place?" he said

"I would love too"

"Great, I'll see you then" he stated. He hung up before I can even say something. As he hung up I seen a text message from Jack, I opened it up and seen the messaged what he had sent.

"Hey, would you like to go to this cool sushi place with me for lunch?"

"I would love to grab lunch with you" I replied with a smiley face emoji.

I put down the phone until it vibrated again. Jack replied again with an "I'll see you then" with a crazy face emoji. I grinned and then put my phone on my desk. When lunch finally came, I heard a knock at the door. I walked to the door and opened it up to see Jack. "Are you ready?" he asked.

"No, I have to grab my jacket and my purse," I said to him. I walked over to my coat rack what I had bought at IKEA, it held my purse and my caramel jacket. I put my jacket over my knitted sweater, and grab my purse to put it over my shoulder.

When we reached the sushi place. Jack asked me many questions about Mr.Richard. He asked me main questions like "how is he doing?", "Is he stressing over his upcoming project?" and such. I continued eating my sushi while I watch Jack text on his phone.

"Hey, Jack who are you texting?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, I am just texting an acquaintance of mine. So how are you holding up at the workplace?" he asked while putting his phone inside his pocket.

"Oh, everything is just great. However, it seems as if Mr.Richards want me to stay at the office to work overtime. It seems as if, he doesn't want me to spend any time alone, in my apartment at all" I said.

"What makes you think, that he doesn't want you to go home?" Jack asked, with curiosity evident.

"I don't know," I said somberly.

"Huh. I think we should get going."

As Jack said this he got up from the table and started texting dynamically at his phone to someone. However, like any other friend I just shrugged it off. He probably has a boyfriend or girlfriend that he is texting too. However, he did state that he was gay.

Back at the office, I check my phone to see Mr.Richards text that said "Can you please get my aspirin, and also my hamburger at in and out. I would also like, you to schedule a meeting with Alice Larington to discuss her boutique in our hotel. I would like to move her stuff into an empty space on the ground of our hotel. I would also like for you to ask Will for the documents that were suppose to be due for some time now" his text read.

I wrote back with an "Okay, I'll have it done." I walked out of the office and into the hall to catch the elevator. Once the elevator reached our floor, I went in and ridden it down to the basement level. When I reached the parking lot I walked towards the Range Rover that I always ride in to do errands, but felt confused about the paper left on top of the car's hood with a single rose. I carefully picked it up and began reading the note left behind.

You are next, my dearest. I know where you live. I know where you work. I know where your friends and family live. So don't try hiding, because you will never get rid of me. Not even your boss can handle me. I came to give you a heads up. Before I kill you.

-Unknown

I drop the rose and then turn back around to see, a man in a hoodie. I hold back a scream and got into my car, I put the keys into the engine to hear the familiar sound of the engine. I pressed the acceleration pedal and drive up to the main road. I merged with the other cars and drive off to Shoppers Drug Mart to get the aspirin to give to Ray, When I got a call out of the blue I kind of jumped back, but then slowly regain my composure. I take out my phone and answered the caller without seeing the caller id.

"H-h-h-el-l-lo..." I stuttered profusely.

"Hey, it's me, Derek. I just wanted to let you know that I will be cooking salmon and asparagus. Is everything alright with you?" he asked

"Um, yeah...sure. I'll try to make it in time," I said with a mumble.

"Okay. And, I was also wondering if you were alright. You know you sounded a little bit weird earlier with the 'hello' thing," he stated casually.

"Um...I don't know what you are talking about," I stated

"Okay, I was just wondering if you were alright," he said

"I am alright," I said, "I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, bye."

After that, I hung up the phone and continue on with my tasks that Ray had assigned to me. I walked out of the in and out burger shack and then drive back to the office to park the car, in the main parking lot. I came out of the car and walked to the main entrance. I had made the appointment with Mrs. Larington for my boss to talk about the project he had been thinking of doing together. When I finished all my tasks that Ray had given to me. I went into his office, to find him standing with his back facing me. He had his hands in his pockets while staring out the window.

"Umm...Ray, do you need me to do anything else for you?" I asked out of kindness.

"No. That will be all for now," he stated without looking at me. I nodded my head and left out the office doors. As I was walking down the hallway, I had an eerie feeling that someone was following me. I walked faster towards the elevators. I pushed the down button frantically when I did the metal doors opened up, I rushed in and pressed the close button to close the door fast enough so that whatever, it was that was following me could not get me. I then press the ground floor button.

When I finally reached my house, I felt so tired but I know that I had to go over to Derek's apartment to have dinner with him. I looked at my phone to see a text message from Derek, it read 'The food is almost ready. I'll knock on your door when it's ready'. I smiled at the text and walked into my bathroom to take a quick shower, after the shower, I put on my makeup. When I was finished I put on a salmon pink bodycon dress and paired it with a white faux fur shawl. When I went into my bedroom, I heard the knock. I hurried up and put on my black heels with the straps on my feet. I run to the door in my heels, almost tripping in front of the door. I opened the door to see Derek's adorable face.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," I said with a smile.

"Let's go," he stated with a grin. I grab my purse what I had used for work and locked the door. I smiled. He opened up his door for me and I stepped in.

Raymond POV

I walked into my study to type up a business plan for Mrs.Larington about how she can profit from setting up her boutique in our hotels. Well, that's the plan anyway, if her store doesn't meet up to my expectation then I would drop this business project altogether. My phone vibrated into my black ripped denim jeans. As I take it out, I saw a message from my private investigator. I opened the message reading 'Check your mailbox'. I got up and put on a white v neck t-shirt. I got into the elevator and pressed the ground floor. Once on the ground floor, I walked toward my mailbox. When I got to my mailbox I hesitated for a while, but then I thought about Destiny's life and how it would impact her. I opened the mailbox to find the big brown package.
