DOCTOR 2: Fransin Georgette

episode 3

"This is the password to Ace's penthouse. Paper works will be done by his real secretary from my office. You'll just deliver the finished product to Ace and of course, protect him."

She nodded and retrieved the piece of paper from him.

He pressed something on his intercom and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"This is Johnny, Ace's secretary. He knows what to do. So you just have to call him and he'll do all the work for you so you can focus on your real job. Johnny, this is Georgette." He nodded in acknowledgment as he fixed his tie. He's in his early 40's, looking reliable and efficient in his job.

"Come, I'll introduce you to my grandson." They used the elevator and arrived two floors below the grandfather's office.

There's a massive half-frosted glass wall and double glass doors in front of her. She followed the old man into the office and found a younger man seated in his chair, typing at his laptop.

"Sir, what a pleasant surprise." Alexandre III grinned as he looked up at his pops. He removed his glasses and stood up with his arms wide open for a dramatic effect.

His grandfather just scoffed and stepped aside to reveal Georgette.

Ace frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. She looks bored looking around at his office as if wanting to be in another place than here.

Their eyes met for the first time and he felt his breathing hitched as he looked at her eyes. Despite them hidden behind her glasses, he can see her emerald orbs sparkling from his position. Her black bob hair complimented her face that made her look sophisticated and cute.

'Cute? Ace, it shouldn't be in your dictionary. You like your women beautiful and sexy. Not cute.'

He shook his head from his wayward thoughts. "Alexandre, this is Georgette. And she will be your new personal assistant as of today. I'll be needing Johnny beside me so she'll help you instead."

With his grandfather's words, he turned his eyes at him.

"What? But sir, you know I don't like women as my assistant. Johnny is perfect for me. Besides, there's the opening of Black Label. I need Johnny now more than ever."

George looked away to hide her smile. 'Wow, is this a love story unfolding in front of me?'

Ace had a glimpse of her smile that irritated him. He decided then and there that he doesn't like her at all. Clearly, she's enjoying this. And he doesn't like it.

"I told you, I need Johnny. Georgette is capable enough to finish Johnny's tasks. I knew because I trained her well."

"But pops! What if... What if she flirts with me? Or fell in love with me? She won't be able to concentrate on her work then."

George's eyebrows furrowed.

Wow. She's never met someone as assuming as him.

His grandfather just chuckled. "It's for her to worry about. Stop being a child. She'll only work for a couple of months until Johnny is finished with his task under me. No buts. Understood?"

Defeated, Ace slumped in his chair and looked sulkily at his pops. He's just really not comfortable working closely with women. It's his oath not to mess with his employees and he wanted his workplace free from temptation.

Not that he'll mess with this woman if she is not here as his assistant.

George was ushered by his grandfather outside the office to her table, previously occupied by Johnny. "I'll leave you to work now, Georgette."
