The Billionaires Secretary

Chapter 23

*Alex's point of view*

The moment she said there was someone, some guy, that i didn't know that was making her happy, it felt like the world froze for a second and plummeted to the Antarctica. If she said something i didn't hear it because i was trying to control myself. normally, I pride myself in the art of body reading and yet i had somehow completely managed to read the signs wrong. Here i was thinking that she was finally opening up to me when all along, she had been thinking of another man. I felt the car pull to a stop and without thinking, i sprinted out the car and up the driveway only remembering halfway about Louise's ankle but i couldn't bring myself to turn around, no matter how much i wanted to help her, my pride wouldn't let me.

Almost running up the stairs, i entered my room, roughly slamming the door behind me in an attempt to relieve my anger. I paced around the room, my anger only increasing the more i thought about it. i growled in frustration, i didn't even know why i was so irritated by the fact, we weren't in a relationship and she was my assistant for fuck sake. It was around now that i remembered why i didn't mix business with pleasure. Sure there was an attraction there but that was purely due to me not getting laid for the past few months. God only knew there were much more beautiful females out there and i was sure i probably had most of their numbers. but first thing was first, i needed to get my head back in the game, i couldn't afford to be as unfocused during like today. No, i needed to protect my money, i needed to distance myself from her. Quickly changing out of my business suit, i glanced at my phone. i needed to get laid.

Strengthen my resolve i glanced at the time and found it was around dinner time. Walking down the stairs and towards the kitchen, i was hit first with the tantalizing smell of Agatha's cooking. following the smell like a blood hound, i was hit with a manlike belly laugh and for a minute i was confused as to who was here without my knowledge. Occasionally, Agatha had her family over but i hadn't really seen them, only her husband and this did not sound like his smokers laugh.

It was only when i was at the doorway that i remembered that Louise was not the most feminine of people yet as i stared at her back, all i wanted to do was bury my head in the crook of her shoulder and grab her ass. Shaking my head to clear the ridiculous thoughts from my head, i cleared my through interrupting whatever conversation they had going and immediately had both their attention but my eyes kept straying to Louise's lips. giving myself an internal telling off, i reminded myself why i was down here in the first place.

'I do hope you don't think that this is a free vacation Miss Spiers, i am not paying you to sit on your ass and do nothing all day,' i said in the coldest voice that i could muster yet instantly i felt guilty as i remembered the focus and dedication she had towards her job at the meeting earlier. But i needed the professional Boss and employee relationship back if i had any chance of focusing on my business so i barged on, 'I need all the notes from during the meeting typed up and all the figures organised in a table for the six O'clock meeting tomorrow, am i understood?'

i saw her stiffened and felt slightly better because i had just re-established our boss employee relationship. i turned to head out when Agatha asked the dreaded question i was hoping to avoid.

'Where are you going Alex? I made dinner Already,' she said confused. it was times like this where i disliked having two motherly figures in my life. i couldn't even tell her that it was none of her business as i was sure she would have my behind so i sucked it up and turned round and looking straight into the questioning eyes Louise said the words that obliterated any chance i had with her.

'I have a date tonight. I'm afraid Miss Spiers is going to have to keep you company tonight, don't expect me back till tomorrow morning.' The words sounded hollow even to my ears and as i spun round and walked out the building, i couldn't seem to get the devastated look that had overcame Louise's features. the entire journey to the bar, her devastated face was stuck in the forefront of my mind. i could seem to get it out of my head and kept looking deeper into it than was probably deemed normal. Why would she be so upset over me going out with another female if she had a man on the side? women!
