BRIELLE POV

She entered the office and I went in after her.

Mateo looked surprised to see me.

“What are you doing here?” He asked

“What do you mean by that? You sent me a Job offer, remember?” I replied

“Which you haven’t replied to since over a week” He retorted

“Well I’m here to reply you now, I agree to work for your company” I remarked

He expressed a face of shock but it was gone within a second.

“Well I can’t say I expected this, it took you a week” he curtly said

“Great things takes time” I shrugged

“So do you want to resume immediately?”

“I’d like to be given a tour and to know my duties as your secretary first sir” I said dragging the “sir” sarcastically

I watched him break out in a sweat. He called Olivia to show me around and introduce me to everybody and also inform me of my duties as his new secretary.

That’s when I found out that Olivia was his acting secretary, no wonder she was upset. She was angry about the fact that I was taking over her temporary position.

    BRIELLE POVIt's been four days since I started working for Mateo, I still haven't gotten used to working for him at all.This job was draining me.Sometimes he can be very demanding and expect me to be on his beck and call around the clock. It was very draining.He was also calm. When I wasn't able to understand his requests, he explained them to me calmly. I wasn't expecting this, I had expected him to be more of the evil boss like in movies.Maybe his plan was to be nice to me at the beginning and reveal his true colours later on.He probably wants to convince me more into staying at this job so it would be too late to leave, that had to be his plan because I had no excuse for his behavior.I had just finished working and clearing out his schedule for the weekend as he asked, we were now on lunch break.I usually don't eat at the company's cafeteria as I wasn't really interested in meeting the other people. Especially after meeting Olivia.I wanted coffee and we had a coffee maker

    BRIELLE POVMom, Ryan and I had finished from the spa and sauna.She had booked an appointment at exquisite bridal shop.When we got there, they took us to a room where we all sat and they brought the most gorgeous wedding dresses out on a mannequin.The dresses were long, looked exquisite and expensive.“So which one do you like between them?” I asked her as we all look at the dresses displayed in front of us“They are all really gorgeous and look so good” Ryan chipped in“Yes, I’m finding it hard to pick as well! I might just wear them all” Mom joked and we laughed.She tried on the dresses and they did fit her as she was slender and petite.“Mom so which one is it?” I asked “I don’t know, I like them but I don’t love them. The dresses are not giving me the wow factor. I need a dress that will take my breath away at the mere sight” Mom saidAt times my mom tends to be dramatic but I understood what she meant. She didn’t like any of the dresses.“So do you have any more dresses to

    MATEO POVDad had called me out on Saturday, I found it strange when he called me and told me he wanted to hang out with me later.I drove to his house after breakfast “What is it? Why are you acting strange?” I asked the moment I saw him sitting down on the couch with a coffee on one hand and newspaper on the other“Good morning to you too son” he deadpanned.“It is unlike you to ask me to hangout so just go straight to the point and tell me what you want” I asked“Can’t a father ask to hang out with his son?” He asked, rhetorically.I rolled my eyes and sat next to him“Where do you want to go?” “I have to go out to try on some wedding suits, I just thought it’d be fine if you come along” He said“You could have saved yourself the stress and just ordered the suits to be delivered home, you know?”“I just thought it’ll be more fun to hangout with my son. Lizzy and her daughter are doing a girls day out so I want us to have our own boys day out too” Dad Of course. It had to be some

    BRIELLE POV I entered the building and tapped my employee ID on the security gate which enabled me access into the office. The employees stared at me, whispering and gossiping as they watched me pass I’m not going to say I don’t know the reason why, the reason was clear, my outfit. I wore pink office pants paired with a white cropped long sleeve button down shirt, red stiletto heels and my coach tote bag hanging on one arm. I had no idea if wearing such colours were allowed and I didn't care. I saw some colleagues on their phone, looking intently at it. I walked all the way to my office. The telephone rang “Can you please come inform me of my schedule for the day?” Mateo asked after picking the phone. I literally just entered the office, I haven't even had a moment to breathe or sit and he was already calling me in for work. After a few hours into the day. My phone rang and Ryan was the one calling. For an Aesthetic nurse, she seemed to have a lot more time on her

    BRIELLE POV “Need any help?” I turned around and saw him. He stood tall, his presence commanding without effort, the sharp blue suit perfectly tailored to his frame. The fabric hugged his broad shoulders and defined biceps. His jet black hair was impeccably styled, the glossy strands catching the light as if sculpted to perfection. He looked like someone who turned heads without trying, even if he had ragged clothes on. I was starting to wonder if all his suits were tailored just for him because they always fit him so well. “How are you here?” I asked, looking up to him. Why was he always present at my worst moments? I watched as his eyes swept over my entire outfit, from my face down to my legs. A faint smirk flickered across his lips, there for only a fleeting second before it disappeared. “You look…” “Save the insults, i really don't care and already have much concerning matters at hand” He stayed silent, somehow I wished I kept quiet and listened to what he

    MATEO POVI went to the house earlier to check on the bride and bridesmaids as instructed when the butler informed me that they had already left. I was about to turn around and leave when I heard a loud curse word.. I went to go check and did not expect to see her.I stood at the door staring at her as she was focused on whatever she was doing on her phone, she didn't notice my presence.I stood silent and watched her, looking at her dress and the way the fabric clings to her in all the right ways, flowing like it was made just for her. The color, rich and vivid, makes her skin glow and her eyes brighter.Her hair, softly framing her face, catches the light and I notice the smallest details- the light blonde highlights in her hair that goes with the gold fabric of her dress, the curve of her neck, the way her hands rest against her side, the faint rise and fall of her breath.I should say something. Anything. But the words won't come. Instead I stay where I am, watching her in the qui

You scared me” I screamed“Do I look scary?” He asked standing there in a black shirt and casual shorts“Why were you sneaking around the house, I thought it was a robber” I said“And you kept swimming?” he asked, raising his eyebrow.“Yeah do you expect me to take a gun and go run after the robber?” I asked, deadpan.I heard him chuckle. I then realized this was the first time we were having a conversation without actually saying mean words to each other.“What are you even doing here? I was promised your absence in this house” I crossed my hands on my chest“Lizzy called me to come make sure the special guest of honor was comfortable in the house and I can see you've already gotten suited in” he said sarcasticallyMy mother was such a snitch sometimes.“Well now you've done your check in, you can leave” I said as I was about to go back to my swimming.I suddenly became aware of the way he wa

    BRIELLE POVThe next morning, after I finished checking my bags to see if I had everything packed.I got dressed and put on a comfy outfit: grey flared joggers and a white short sleeve crop top, packing my hair in a slick ponytail.I opened my laptop as I was eating breakfast and checked my emails and I saw some big news.A huge beauty brand emailed me that they were interested in working with me. I replied to their email and they responded that they were willing to pay any rates and would send me products every month.I guess posting quality videos does have an advantage, I was about to start making money just from posting faceless aesthetic videos on social media.Ryan would be so happy for me as she was my number one fan and the only person who knew about my secret accounts.After eating breakfast and making sure the house was in order I took my bags and drove to Davis mansion.On arriving at the house, the butler informed me that they had left for their honeymoon very early in th

    BRIELLE POVHearing Mom ask me to go dance with Mateo was beyond unexpected.I declined but no one could ever win an argument against my mom.His hands on my waist, warm and steady and I feel a subtle pull as he draws me closer. The music swirls around us, but all I can hear is the fast thrum of my heartbeat. His touch is light but grounding, sending a quiet shiver through me as I let my arms slide up to rest on his shoulders.We start to move together, our steps falling into a natural rhythm, and I can feel the tension and ease in the way his body leans into mine.I have to remind myself not to stiffen, not to pull away. I hate that he’s always so confident, always so sure of himself, like the world bends to his will. And yet here I am, letting him guide me, swaying to the rhythm of the music like I don’t have a choice.His breath grazes my ear as he speaks softly-words I barely caught on, and I ignore the way my heart trips over itself. I glance up at him, catching the way his eyes
