The Secrecy✔

Chapter 39

Samuel Parkinson

Dad and I are currently having a meeting with the founder of one of the largest companies in Singapore.

We quickly discussed everything and I was extremely exhausted. I went back to the suite and freshened up. I will be going back to New York the day after tomorrow and I don't know why I have the feelings that I want to meet my assistant so badly.

My dad and I had dinner and tomorrow we will be stepping in to our newly constructed company in Singapore.

When we have completed everything for the day, I headed back to my suite while my dad went and met up with some other people.

My phone rang after I took a shower and it was one of the trusted guys I ordered to secure the building when I'm away.

"What is it?" It's still 5 o'clock in the evening here in Singapore whereas it's 5 in the morning in New York.

"Hey, how are you?" Tyson asked me and I assumed he called after he had gone to the gym.

"Normal. What's up?"

"Nothing really. I was just strolling around yesterday when I saw someone interesting." He started and I knew it was going to be boring.

"Can you talk about something else? I'm sure that someone is a random stranger who you saw." I rolled my eyes.

"OK... If you say so, I was meaning that random stranger is actually Liz, your assistant." My ears immediately perked up and my mind started to concentrate more on his statements.

"So, where are yo-?" I interrupted him.

"What about Liz?" I asked him sternly.
"Nah... It is just that I never know Liz has a boyfriend." He said casually in which my mind was completely in the middle of a hurricane.

"Boyfriend?" I asked him normally over the phone, but my mind was totally different.

"I'm not sure, but I saw her with a guy yesterday on Valentine's Day, you know... Doing the things they do on Valentine."

"You're sure?!" I couldn't even imagine it. Seeing her with Alex is already getting me fired up, but with another guy, not to mention, they are on Valentine, I'm freaking boiling.

"Well... They were walking closely and holding hands while joking around and laughing all in all. They looked like they were having a great time."
He said. "What a lovely couple. If she's available, I'd definitely go after-"

"DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURE?" I literally interrupted him again because I couldn't help, but feel like being entirely spilled over my body by lots of possessiveness and anger.

"Oh, here."

I got a notification from him in Skype and it was a picture that got me unexpectedly furious and undeniably annoyed. Liz was laughing and looking at the smiling idiot near her. They were in the amusement park.

"Looks like her boyfriend, right?" Tyson asked.

"Right..." I spoke through gritted teeth angrily.

"I have to go, man. Talk to you later." He hung up and my eyes were still staring at the bright phone screen that displayed the photo I wanted to delete so wretchedly.

"Dad, I have to go back to New York now." I messaged my dad and took a flight in my private jet back to New York asap.

I seriously need to find the reason why I'm suddenly traveling over thousands of miles back to New York.

It is pretty early in the morning in New York, so I have to go freshen up and eat something before going back to work. I'm sure no one knows that I'm back early.

I went to my office and along the way, I overheard someone talking who was definitely Sandra.

"I can't believe Liz's boyfriend is so handsome and kind. Don't you think, Clove?" Sandra spoke.

"Yeah. He looks like a very easygoing and fun guy when we spotted him and Liz yesterday." Clover said.

So, it is real?? You have got to get rid of this idiot, Parkinson.

Shut up, will you? My thoughts were invading and I couldn't help, but be furious and raging.

She is even late today?!!!!

Jack and Asher came early this morning after they had found out I got here early. I guess they also think that I'm different today. It's like I'm losing control over myself. I have been snapping and ordering people around with no reasons.

What the heck is wrong with me?!

She hasn't arrived yet, so I went to her office and not long after, she quietly got in and closed the door without noticing my presence in there.

"YOU'RE LATE!" My voice came out more accusing and aggressive than I thought.

I can tell that she is surprised to see me when her posture becomes straighter. During the whole day, I keep snapping and talking coldly towards her. She definitely knows that I'm acting differently today and I know it isn't a good sign either, but I just couldn't prevent my actions. Everytime I see her face, it reminds me of the Valentine thingy she must've had with that bastard.

I felt like I have been possessed by a mixture of jealousy and anger.

This is hella confusing!!

I am starting to torture her again and when she reports to my office, I know that she can't finish everything I have assigned her.

"How come? Were you busy daydreaming about your boyfriend?" OK. That wasn't supposed to come out, but it did... Harshly and coldly.

"What are you talking about?" She asked me, looking clueless.

"Did you fantasize over your so called boyfriend that you couldn't even finish your work?" That wasn't supposed to be said either.

She kept asking me and all I did was interrogating and threatening her about that Rick guy whom I just did a research on while I was traveling on the plane.

"ANSWER ME!" Why am I suddenly acting as if I'm on a jealousy period?

"No, he isn't. He is my friend." That statement makes me feel relieved inside, but my arrogant and possessive self is taking over.

"I don't want you to go out with him again." I suddenly commanded which she immediately objected.

"I'm not going to do that. It is my choice whether I go out with him or not." I know she is angry, but I'm much more raging. I even reach the stage where I have to blackmail her just so that she will do as I say. Unbelievable! My inside out really needs a rearrangement.

"UGH... YOU'RE NOTHING, BUT A CONTROLLING, CONCEITED, SELFISH FREAK WHO KEEPS ORDERING PEOPLE AROUND AND DOESNT CARE ABOUT OTHERS, BUT YOUR-" I was so angry that I had to do one thing I was urging to do, but in this condition, it is to shut her sassy mouth up.

I crashed my lips on hers, but sadly she didn't reply back. She was stiff as stone, standing there shocked and thunderstruck.

"Don't make me go further, Liz." My tone was cold and full of warnings. I left the office, leaving her in there and stormed off to my car. My lips are still burning like fire and it was something different from any other kisses I have had with the one nightstands.

It felt just... right and I'm afraid I will be urging for more. It is hard enough to prevent this for the last two months.

Someone called me while I was driving speedily to my penthouse to chill out, maybe... Not.

"What is it?" I gritted my teeth with my hand gripping onto the wheel tightly.

"Woah! Grumpy much." They both said at the same time.

"Just tell me why the f*#% you call." I'm not in a good mood right now due to some freaking guy going out with my freaking assistant on Valentine's Day.

"Where can we meet you?" Asher and Jack were in the call.

"Come to the penthouse." I ended the call with crazy thoughts running through my brain.

What have I gotten myself into??
