2024-10-29 19:42:56TINA'S POV
"Nicole, oh my gosh, this is New York!" I exclaimed.
The city was splendid. It was on the outskirts of Mexico.
Of course, it took us an hour or so to get here without traffic.
Oh my goodness, it's been a year since I came here, and everything here has changed so much.
We were standing in front of McSorley's Old Ale House, one of the popular bars in New York. I knew this would happen that day when Nicole told me we should go out to get some fresh air.
This wasn't our class; we actually didn't belong here, but right now I have no say in it, and I loved it.
"Oh my gosh, this air is worth it," I exclaimed immediately. I felt the air drive its way into my sweat pores and give me lots of goosebumps.
"Nicole," I called her as I checked my sides but couldn't find her.
I got my way through the bouncers; thank goodness I didn't dress awkwardly.
"At least I didn't dress like a commoner," I said to myself.
Finally, I found Nicole at the counter; she was talking to the butler.
"Hey Nicole, you left me out there."
"Tina I'm so sorry; I have a lot on me, but I thought you were right behind me." Nicole apologized
"Excuse me, ma'am, what's your order?" The butler asked
"Three bottles of vodka fizz," Nicole replied to the butler.
"Okay, ma'am," he said as he left to get the wine.
"Nicole, three bottles of vodka fizz—that's a hell of a lot of money!" I exclaimed at Nicole's order, but anyway, if Nicole made that order, she was sure going to make the payment.
"Please, when the butler comes, tell him to add a bottle of barley," I requested.
"Sure," Nicole answered.
The butler dropped the wines and two glass cups on the counter for us.
"Excuse me, get us a bottle of barley," Nicole says.
"Tina, are you sure about the Long Island iced tea?"
"You haven't drank that since I know you," Nicole inquired.
"There's always tomorrow to try," I said to her.
"As long as you don't get drunk," Nicole stated.
"Ma'am, your order," the butler said as he dropped the bottle on the counter.
"Tina, did you already apply for any job after the last one?" Nicole asked as she poured the vodka into her glass cup and drank it.
"Yeah, I did."
"I'm expecting an email; I just hope so since I'm not certain." I also poured some vodka in my glass and sipped it.
" Okay, that's good " Nicole replied
"Wow, this doesn't taste bad," I said, and I poured the barley into my glass cup.
"Tina, are you sure about what you are doing?"
"Mixing these two isn't going to come out well; your hangover will last for two to three days," Nicole said to me as she watched me mix the two wines in my glass cup.
"Don't worry, I will be fine," I said as I sipped a little. It tasted good, and I continued mixing the wines.
" Tina? "
"Yes, Nicole, I'm all ears," I answered.
"I got a promotion today," Nicole said as she continued drinking the contents of her glass cup.
" wow congratulat..... "
"A fake promotion," Nicole said as tears fell from her eyes.
" What???? "
"Mr. Gilbert asked me to sleep with him to be the CEO of Jordan's Cosmetic Industry. Please excuse me." Nicole couldn't finish her sentence when she ran out with a bottle of vodka in her hand. I think she went to throw up.
I couldn't believe what she was telling me, so I tried getting up to follow her, but I wasn't feeling my feet and I was feeling so dizzy that I staggered back and fell on my chair.
I stared at the counter, only to find out that I had already finished a bottle of vodka fizz and the full bottle of long island iced tea.
"Oh my God, was this the effect?" I asked myself as my phone beeped.
" What!?"
"An interview is tomorrow." But it wasn't sounding good to my ears, and now I was terribly drunk.
I should have been happy, but I wasn't. Why?
I suddenly felt like throwing up as I forcefully got up from my seat and bumped onto a hard surface.
"Oh my gosh, not now," I said to myself and looked up. What I saw was unexplainable.
I just found out that what I bumped into wasn't the wall but a perfectly chiseled chest.
My eyes met a pair of golden eyes and broad shoulders. He was tall, and his overly tempting red lips I haven't seen a man with so much red on his lips in my life, but this was it.
His thick raven brown hair which was packed backwards, I could tell it was shoulder length.
He was wearing a blue suit; his appearance seemed to attract everyone in the bar, and all eyes were on him—and probably on me because I bumped into him except from Nicole, whom I haven't seen since she ran out from the counter.
I was sure his status was high.
I was certain that I saw a man with him when I bumped into him, but he was nowhere to be found. But this man I was standing in front of had totally captivated my sight; his appearance spoke highly of him.
This man was an immortal god of beauty, and he was emitting this powerful aura that could put the whole world at a standstill. He was the complete definition of what was called charming.
Here I was lost in this young man's appearance, and I totally forgot. All of a sudden, that urge to throw up showed up again, and I let it out on the young man's suit.
"Oh, my gosh," a young woman in her early thirties gasped.
"How could that happen?" I heard another woman saying this.
"That suit can buy her whole family; what a careless girl!" a man said to his wife.
"Oh, what a poor child," the butler said.
"Her day must have been cursed," an elderly man said.
I would say I got my senses of sight that moment; I couldn't believe the mess I put myself in.
And where the hell was Nichole?
Why must this happen today?
"Are you blind?" Did you lose your sight somewhere? Someone asked, probably the manager of the bar.
"First you bumped into me, and now you had the audacity to throw up on me," the young man said in a calm voice, but his voice deep and echoed inside the bar.
"I am so sorry, sir. "I can take care of this, I promise." I apologized as I tried to use my napkin to clean the suit, but I knew it was going to be worse.
When I tried to clean it up, the man threw my hands out of his clothes, and then he said
"YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS."

"YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS," he said furiously.He said as he stormed out of the bar, and at that moment I couldn't ascertain what was going on, I didn't know if it was Nicole or the interview letter I received, or when I bumped into the handsome man, or when I threw up on the handsome man, or when he told me I would pay dearly for what I did to him."Oh my gosh, life is so unfair," I whispered to myself as I sat on the tiled floor near the counter.I have always wanted this job, but now that I got the interview, I don't know why I was scared and feeling so sick." Oh, Christina," I said as I simultaneously used my hands to hit my head over and over again."I forgot this was the effect of the drink I had moments ago," I said to myself as I managed to get up and staggered out of the bar as I thought about Nicole. I just couldn't leave her here, and she brought me here, it would be so rude to go without her.After arguing with myself about my thoughts, I finally concluded that she wo

TINA I started moving towards the building, and of course, I had to take the elevator to the second floor because I was already a few minutes late. I entered the elevator and pressed the second-floor button, and in less than five minutes I was already on the second floor. I practically moved at a fast pace, I went to the receptionist's table and couldn't believe what I saw, where the receptionist was placed was like where the general manager of one of those minor companies had their office, but here in this company, a receptionist was enjoying it. I forgot that I had an interview the moment I let my mind become endorsed by the beauty of the place, It is heaven on earth, I also saw some men in suits moving out of the company. Oh, I remember that Seamus Group of Companies' share price rose today, and that would help me in getting this job because probably anyone who was going to interview me would be happy about the news and wouldn't waste time trying to employ me. I snapped out o

And truly, I envied her, she just looked like Nicole in terms of character. "Luca," she called out, and I wondered if the person was the receptionist she was talking about. "Luca," she called out again as she entered the office where the discussion was held. A bronze-skinned, blue-eyed guy turned. "Annabelle... I'm so sorry, I did not hear you calling," Luca apologized to her as he stared at me. "No offense taken," Anabelle stated, and I think that was true because it was clear that he didn't hear her calling him. "And who do we have here?" Luca asked while gesturing his hand out for a handshake. "Hi Luca, my name is Christina Herbert," I replied as I stretched out my hands to return his handshake, it would be rude if I didn't, and this was my first day in the Seamus Group of Companies, so I would not want to make enemies so fast, even though I haven't gotten the job. "Luca, please, I need you to take Christina to Mr. Aaron's office, she is here for an interview," Anna
BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED SECRETARY CHAPTER TEN
Mr. Aaron stared at his phone screen for some seconds and signed before he dropped his phone and looked at me. "Okay, like I was saying, work here is not like work in other companies. Other companies resume work by 7:30 a.m., but we resume here by 8:00 a.m., well, that's a thirty-minute difference, hahahaha, and since you are applying for the post of a secretary, you are going to end your day depending on the CEO's schedule. "Once his schedule states that he leaves early, you are lucky to leave early, and once his schedule states that he leaves late, then you are also to leave late." "That is the most important duty you have to uphold, for the rest, the CEO will tell you that," Mr. Aaron explained so nicely that anyone would understand him without asking a single question. "Okay, sir," I replied. But something was baffling me, I needed to ask this question. Was he considering giving me this job, or has he given me the job just like that without asking me any questions?

TINA I had lots of questions, like how much my salary would be, because that was the most important of all, and I needed to know how much I would be paid after obeying the rules and regulations. I could not afford to work for nothing. "Sir, do you mind if I get to ask you another question?" I asked him with a hint of fear in my eyes and shaky hands because I didn't want him to consider me irrelevant for asking too many questions. "No, I don't mind at all." "Just ask me anything you need to know, my time will soon be up here," Mr. Aaron said as he smiled at me with a facial expression that indicated I was free to ask any question. "Okay, please don't mind my manners, but how much am I going to be paid for this post I am going to handle?" I asked him as I rubbed my hands together on my body. "Yeah, actually I didn't forget to tell you that, but it seems I forgot after all." "You will be paid the sum of $80,000 per month for handling the post of secretary." Mr. Aaron replied
BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED SECRETARY CHAPTER TWELVE
"But the older ones who worked here said the boss did not want anything like the post of a secretary, and hereby told the interview committee not to include anything like a secretary application," Zoey said. "Yes, that is true, for almost twenty years, no secretary has worked here," Phillip said calmly. "Hmmm, I do not know the boss's reason, so let us not bother about the CEO's decisions," Luca added to the conversation, and that was true, they did not know their boss's reason for employing a secretary now, so they needed to back off. "Okay guys, I am off to work," Luca said as he stood up, adjusted himself, and left for the exit. Zoey, you have to be at your table, right? I wonder what type of receptionist you are, seriously," Luca added "Yes, I would be on my way there now," Zoey intervened. "Phillip, I am off, I would not want the boss to come here and see us going, you know what that means when he slightly sees us, I cannot afford to lose my job, so see you later in the d
BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED SECRETARY CHAPTER THIRTEEN
We passed a sitting room, I saw a dining hall at one end, I saw lots of doors from the left to the right, and they seemed to be offices, but I did not see a single soul there. It seems like the place was so dry, but it was also breathtaking. This was my first time walking through a place like this, it seems like a mansion up here, a complete house with no occupant living in it. When we got to a place with a golden door, we stopped, and I stared at the door. This door is worth a lot of money. At that moment, it dawned on me that the Seamus Group of Companies were the moneymakers. I was so flustered as a result of how breathtaking the place was. The glass on the walls was perfect, and I could see my reflection. The exterior designs were making my mouth drop. This wasn't an office, this was paradise on earth. The fact that Mr. Aaron turned the door handle and the door opened and he walked in, which I was not aware of because my eyes were moving around admiring the beauty that

"My heart aches badly because you call me your secretary and your submissive, yet you pushed me out of your car under the burning sun because I fell asleep while you were away. You poured away the dish I prepared because I did not ask you if you wanted to eat lunch. Why?" Tina flared out as she hung her pyjama shirt on her shoulder and rushed to Mr. Gavriel as she held his t-shirt collar so tight."What the hell are you doing? How dare you touch me!" Mr. Gavriel asked."I don't care... I absolutely do not care... What are you going to do to me now, hmm? Kill me? Hit me? I freaking do not care because I can endure the pain. Any pain you inflict on me, I absolutely do not care. Who the hell do you think you are?" Tina replied as she slowly released her grip on his collar, then put her hands on her forehead and faced the floor.She massaged her head vigorously as if she were insane... truly, she was hurt... she couldn't take it anymore... It was already too much... she was too young to b

Ivy drove straight to Gavriel's house, then she packed her car beside her brother's car in front of the mansion. Everything was bright as a result of the street lights.From her car, she saw a young lady who looked so angry walk out of the house and stop as she looked at Ivy's car for a moment, then sighed as she continued walking down to the gate.Ivy thought as much because she knew her brother's capabilities... he loved flirting with women and brought them to his home to finish up the work.She had tried her best to tell him that flirting with women was not life and that he should find a woman if he was not ready to have another lover... At least the woman would be able to take care of his sexual fantasies and needs, but no, he does not want that... he calls women who satisfy man's needs mistresses, and he does not want someone to be above him, rather he would be above them.Ivy put on her shoes, which she had removed as a result of the pain and stress of the traffic, then picked u

"Mr. Gavriel, what are you doing? Please do not do this to me." Tina pleaded, but still, Mr. Gavriel didn't mind as he made her look at the fire coming out of the burner as the heat of the fire started forming sweat on her face and her hair began to shrink."Look at it," Mr. Gavriel ordered, as he did not move her head but made her stay in a position that she would not be able to move.Tina was in so much pain as she felt her hair lose weight... the hair she loved so much shrank right before her very eyes, and then when she could not bear it any longer, she gathered enough strength to forcefully push Mr. Gavriel away and put off the burner.Alexandra heard a series of noises coming out of the kitchen, and she got up and rushed to see for herself what was going on.She entered the kitchen, and what she saw got her upset, but on the other hand, she was happy because Mr. Gavriel was punishing Tina for ruining their night, and she was also happy because she got what she seemed to get by s

"Mr. Gavriel, I think there is a fire outbreak... " Tina said she rushed into the room immediately, and they both gave her killer daggers."What did you say? A fire outbreak in my house?" Mr. Gavriel stammered as he tried to get up with the glass cup in his hand."Gavriel, drink so that the cup would not fall and break," Alexander said, persuading Mr. Gavriel to drink from the contents of the cup, and Tina's heart started beating fast, and then she began to hiccup.Mr. Gavriel stood up from the bed, still throwing killer daggers at Tina, as the glass cup fell from Mr. Gavriel's hand, and they all looked at the floor where the glass fell with different thoughts in their minds.Finally, Tina was happy that she succeeded in making Mr. Gavriel not drink any content in the cup, and Alexandra was so upset that her facial expression could kill anyone who came close to her. But Mr. Gavriel did not notice anything that was going on as he rushed out of the room to check what caused the fire out

Nicole got angry at herself for not being able to bring up a nice conversation, and now the man she had been waiting for so she could see him once again had left because of her inability to talk—the man she had been dreaming of, the man who had always been on her mind."I would not have replied to him like that, definitely not in that manner... he must have gotten upset and left," Nicole says to herself as she looks around to search for him in the direction he walked to earlier, but she could not find him."God, he is not even in this bar again... I really need to do something tonight... I really need to see him right now," She added as she got up from the chair she was sitting on and went outside the bar. She opened her car door and threw her phone and handbag at the back seat as he hopped into the driver's seat and zoomed off.She drove through the busy late-night roads of New York as she was not the scared type... she even drove at midnight and very early in the morning.She drove

Luca walks around while he stares at his phone screen, waiting for his sister to pick up his call.He kept on trying as he wondered why she was not picking up his call. He hoped she was in good condition.Luca had arrived from the office thirty minutes ago because there was too much traffic, then he remembered Tina's chest and wanted to help out.Jessica is a 20-year-old young lady who just graduated from the University of Oxford. She's 5 feet tall, has perfect emerald eyes, bra-length black hair, and a very nice face size that could make anyone who stares at her go crazy and ends up drooling for her perfect sparkling eyes. She's a beauty with a brain.She tries her possible best not to bother her parents after she graduates from school as she decides to get a job in New York. At that point, she begins to live with her elder brother, Luca, who was working as a receptionist but was getting a larger salary than hers.Luca and Jessica graduated from different colleges...

"I would have loved to pour a little, but no, I would not do that... I will pour the full substance, so just get ready when you find yourself in a horrible situation when you wake up, and then you will be the father to my unborn child," she said and chuckled as she caressed her belle and poured the whole content into the glass cup and poured the juice on top of it. Then she looked around and smiled as she walked to the section where cutlery was packed, and she took a spoon and stirred the mixture, and they all blended."I am doing this so you would not know if you threw your seeds inside my body because you hate throwing your seeds into someone but when you drink this, you would be so weak and do everything according to my bidding and when you do not know what transpired, you would happily accept that you are the father of my unborn child because you will believe what I tell you and also after this experience you would never maltreat or treat any woman like you do now rather you woul

"You care a lot about your family," Alexandra said as she rubbed her hands over his body."Exactly, they are my family, so there is no need for you to interfere in my family's life... my business here is with you, and when I am done, I will pay you, and you find your way to your own family," Mr. Gavriel said furiously. He hated when people interfered in his family life... he usually said those people were irresponsible because they only wanted to know about other people, but they obviously could not take care of themselves or their family.This man is a beast, but someone must bend you down, she said to herself and smirked."I never meant it that way," Alexandra said, surprised at the way he replied to her statement."Come on, let me take you to my home... Let us finish up this business... I need to sleep," Mr. Gavriel said as he stood up and picked up his phone from the table.Perfect timing... when I am done with you, you will go and apologise to my boss, Alexandra said to herself

She walked towards the counter as she placed her hand on it and made her order. She was so weak and needed to sleep. "I need a glass of Americano," Nicole said as she rested her head on her hand. Raymond turned at the sound of the familiar voice he just heard beside him, and he saw a lady, but he could not see her face because she rested it on her hand. He waited silently for her to raise her face so he could see her face and know if she was the person he really needed to see. "Ma'am, your drink is available," the bar attendant said as he tried to wake her up, but Raymond collected the drink and paid for it. "I will serve her the drink, so do not worry... you can get back to work," Raymond said, and the bar attendant nodded and continued what he was doing. Raymond just wanted to try his luck as she stared at the lady in front of him. She looked exactly like Nicole—her stature, her hair, her resembling voice. He just needed to find out who the lady in front of him was. Then he rai
