Chapter 24

Nikolas Lamborghini Veneno Roadster ^^^

It has been a little over a week since the engagement party and I have started working with Nikolas as his secretary during the daytime. It is either work with my mate or being bored all day. Even shopping isn't as exciting anymore since I have no limit in my bank account anymore. Without forgetting all the presents my mate offers me. He already gave me a new car, new clothes from Demetrius and Nikolas' new fashion brand named Magnolia and so on. He even brought me out to eat some famous shops reputed for their desserts when he learned that I had a sweet tooth. When I told him to stop showering me with presents, he just took me out to various places. So he could buy me anything that I stared at for more than thirty seconds.

I know that he doesn't like to be refused and even if I tell him to stop doing something, he will do something else again. So I have decided to be his secretary and monitor his life and bank account. I can't have him squander money on anything I "lust" at! Apparently watching something or someone for too long is considered lusting over it. I can't believe it. My mate is so possessive and proud of himself it's kind of cute. He's like a dog trying to impress his master, well that's how I see it.

As we both arrived at his company in the morning, I can always hear the murmurs of his employees in the halls and cubicles. Even if the engagement party was a private party, it seems like the whole world knows about our relationship. This is all thanks to the damn paparazzi that have no life outside of poking their nose where they shouldn't. I won't forget the day I got chased by some of them when I have gone for a morning run. It took everything in me to not kill them and bath in their blood. If it isn't because everyone's blood now tastes like shit, except for Nikolas, I would have drained them dry to dare ask me if I am marrying my mate for his money. Not everything revolves around money you know. I admit I do love money so I can go shopping on Sunday, but it isn't a good reason for me to marry a man that I know nothing about! Even if my heart stopped beating long ago, mine is very well alive compared to some humans.

"Sir, you have a meeting the president of SSTAR in half an hour," I state while watching my IPad as we reach the top floor where his office is.

"Thank you, Micah. Send him in my office when he arrives," Nikolas answers before pulling me into a kiss. "A good luck kiss," he slightly smiles before going inside his office.

I shake my head disapprovingly even if he can't see me. I can't believe he did that. We agreed that we would act professionally as soon as we step into this building. I put my bag down next to my chair as I sit down and open my computer. I go through my boss' schedule for today and then mine to see if I have any phone calls to do or meetings to prepare for. When I get everything checked, I sit up and go make his coffee. Surprisingly, he doesn't like bitter food or drinks, so I put some sugar and milk into his morning drink. I once asked him why not drink it at home since we eat breakfast before leaving and he answered that he will be more energized if it is me that prepared his coffee in the morning.

Half an hour later, the secretary on the first floor informs me that Nikolas' guest has arrived. Consequently, I use the elevator to make my way down and greet the man myself. Then, we head back up before informing to my superior that the president of SSTAR has arrived. Once both of them are inside the office, I know that they won't be finished for at least a good hour. But what I didn't expect was for them to exceed the three hours. Fortunately, Nikolas doesn't have any meeting scheduled until late in the afternoon, but if the negotiations take this long, it should be very heated inside. I will ordinarily provide my boss with his lunch at this time, but I can't disturb him during a meeting. I wonder what is going on inside...

It isn't like I am hungry, but I am bored. No one is calling and Nikolas is busy. Plus, I already completed all my tasks scheduled for today. So, I may as well get something to chew on. Habitually, we will exchange a little blood, but since we can't, I will purchase some human food to try to satisfy my cravings. Nothing is comparable to my mate's blood. It is so damn addictive and pleasurable. To my embarrassment, I even came once while feeding on the man's lap. Nothing is comparable to it. Every so often, I crave it so much even when I got it hours or a day before. It has never happened before I met him, but when I think of it, all these women's blood is nothing compared to his.
