Chapter 01 Scarlett's POV I was rushing across the corridor, my breath ragged from my exhaustive and never-ending runs.I apologized for hitting someone while still racing quickly and with my face forward. Although I didn't hear her response, I was aware that she had accepted my apology."Oh my, hello.Hello, my name is Scarlett, and I should be here for the interview.""The interview finished five minutes ago, you're late, miss." The woman I had spoken to responded."But, um, is there anything you could do to help me? Please, I need this work and I'm confident I can do it.""Miss, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry but there is nothing I can do to help; our boss is a severe one and doesn't tolerate tardiness. " I felt helpless and hopeless as she spoke, gave me a small bow, and then turned to leave.Not again, please Lord, I continued to chant while remaining immobile for several minutes in the same place.In the space of two months, I will be losing a total of five jobs.

Chapter 02Scarlett's viewpointThe question is, "Do you like them?" Throughout our shopping trip, Tonia kept asking as she made numerous clothing selections, and I kept nodding in agreement. I was still utterly perplexed.While my twins appeared joyful and thrilled for their mother, I was perplexed.What is happening? That was all I could think to ask myself.If it hadn't been an official email, I would have replied to it. I suppose everything would make sense tomorrow.The following day"How do you feel? Do I appear presentable enough, in your opinion?" I questioned with some trepidation."Come on sweetie, I've told you a number of times, you look good in anything you wear. You certainly appear presentable, if not more than presentable". Tonia remarked, looking at me.I turned and remarked, "I'll believe that since you seem serious saying it," and she laughed."I'm not kidding; you look nice. She added, and I lightly chuckled, "I'm sure the CEO won't be able to take his eyes off you.

Chapter 03Scarlett's POV The following morningI walked over to the desk next to Lilian, Alexander's secretary, and said, "Morning," with a slight smile."Morning.." She paused, her eyebrows lifted. I answered, smiling a little, "Scarlett."I will be helping her because I am the assistant secretary. This is exactly the position I applied for, but now that I have it, I feel anxious. This could be because I will occasionally need to be with Alexander, but it also could not be. I may assign chores like organizing documents and talking about that.Lilian nodded and smiled as she threw lots of documents in front of me.She instructed, "Arrange them alphabetically by the names on the files," and I gave the command.I had anticipated starting my job right away, and now here I am.Through the wired table phone Lilian and I shared, I saw her take a call before she left the office, and I carried on with my work.She entered the room with a blank expression a little while later."Um.She shouted

When I finally had a basic notion, I divided them and started moving them from his office to mine, then back again, until I was finished.Sadly, I sighed as I looked at the files that had taken up the entire desk and some of the ones that were still on the floor.I whispered my little comfort word, "I'll get through this.I had worked on those files for a solid seven hours, so how long will it take me to complete those files three times over?I should get started right now.**Well, as you probably already guessed, I had to wait until dusk to finish them.

Chapter 05Scarlett's viewpointAnother day has passed. I had to make a promise to my twins that I wouldn't be gone for too long—hopefully, I won't—after they whined about how much they missed me.I started working again at 7 a.m. so I could complete the tasks I started yesterday.Lillian and Alexander were among the few workers who appeared to have arrived.When I arrived at his office to thank him for ordering me to leave last night's job unfinished, he wasn't there.Let's get started, I heaved as I sat down and got right to work.** After two hours **"Hey, you already arrived?"

Chapter 06Scarlett's viewpointI'm very sorry; I didn't mean to waltz in. Oh my gosh. I rushed over right away, unable to do anything but move my lips and fixate on his still obscenely large underwear."Leave now!" I was jolted out of my reverie by his icy voice, which sent chills down my spine.I quickly replied, "Y.. yeah, yes sir," and then I briskly left.Oh my God I took a deep breath out. I'm hoping I keep my job. I couldn't help the wicked little notion that sprang to mind as I mentally replayed the scene. His. No, this is not something I should be thinking about.Of course I shouldn't.I hurried back to my office, but as soon as I entered, Lillian raised her head and gave me a suspicious look, which I ignored and went to find my seat.I took a big breath, reminded myself that I had stuff to do, and started working right away.*After Three Hours*I had completed all of the work he had assigned me as punishment.
