JOANNA
"I'm sorry Mr. Gomes?" Joanna asked. She was sitting at the chair infrot of executive desk of Luiz Gomes. She felt devastated at his instruction.
"Yes you heard me right Joanna. Starting tommorrow, you will be reporting to the penthouse of Matheus. You will be his new personal assistant." He smiled.
"Don't you want me anymore Mr. Gomes?" She asked again. Joanna was worried of the any wrong thing she had done for Mr.Gomes to throw her to his son. He knew the young Gomes was ruthless, mean, unhappy and yes, absolutely handsome. She erased the last adjective in her mind.
"No Joana, you will still work with the same company anyway. Matheus just needed a new personal assistant. Since you will be working with him, I suggest that you bring in your things to the staff house in his penthouse tonight. You need to be ready and see him at 6AM." The family's personal assistant usually lives with the family in the staff house. Since Camila and Luiz Gomes live in the mansion, Joanna lives with them at the mansion's staff house. Gomes' are good employers. They are generous when it comes to salary. They are one of the biggest hotel owner in New York and they have more than a hundred hotels around the globe. The family is one of Forbe's richest family. Their sons are one of the youngest billionaires also according to Forbes.
"But what if he will not like me?" Joanna was aware of Matheus' reputation. She often hears it from his parents, seen it on TV and read it on magazines. Aside from dating famous celebrities and supermodels, he also has a thing for his secretaries. She knew they have some sort of physical and probably sexual qualifications of which she knew she will never half pass.
"Oh Joanna dear." Exclaimed Mr. Gomes. He has always been nice to her and to everyone actually. She even wondered why Matheus grew up with walls around him. He was always unapproachable. Joanna knew Mr. Gomes understands her worries. "Don't worry, if he kicks you out, you can always work for me and Camila."
She smiled and nodded. She find herself lost for words to say. She was just the family's employee but the couple never treated her differently. She was like a family to them.
"Just be yourself Joanna. We like you that way. He will like you that way too."
The following day (6AM)
Joanna was standing beside the breakfast table waiting for Matheus Gomes to wake up. She was instructed by Mrs. Santos to wait in there because it where Matheus usually come to meet his personal assistant. Mrs. Santos, the head housekeper, along the with her two daughters and his husband as Matheus chaffuer. The family worked with the Gomes' all their lives. Joana was living with them in the staff house.
After a few minutes, Joana saw Matheus heading towards her direction. He seemed surprised to see her. Despite the frown, she still finds him amusing and gorgeously handsome. He was half naked with his pajamas. She can see his chest and his perfect shoulders. He seemed so stout that no amount of strength would ever let him down on his knees. Joanna knew her jaw dropped and was blown away. He had that dazzling gray eyes, deep, striking and sexy.
"Who are you?" He said in a loud voice.
Joana felt there was a cold water thrown onto his body. She came in to her senses and paid attention to what is supposed to be her job. "Good Morning Mr. Gomes, I'm Joanna Castillo your new personal assistant. Is there anything you would like me to do?"
Matheus looked at her from head to toe. Joana's hair was tied up. She was wearing her huge dark rimmed glasses. She was wearing white sleeveless blouse with black blazer and a straight cut black pants. Matheus was still looking at her and for the first time in her life he got so conscious with the way she looks. She suddenly blamed her parents for not giving her good genes and blamed herself for not listening to Mrs. Gomes when she told her to go on a diet and exercise.
