Chapter 10Cassandra Lei’s POVI can't stop thinking of that small smile. My boss looks so handsome when he smiles. Should I make him smile more often? Hmmm, before I leave his kingdom after two months, I might just as well make him see the brighter side of life. Wait? What am I thinking? I shook my head and got back to my senses, what the hell Cassy?The day went so fast and I felt so exhausted. Time check and it's already 4 PM. Ugh! I still need to wait 1 hour before my duty for today ends.The telephone beside me rings. I answered it and heard the voice of my handsome boss on the other line.“Come inside my office”He said. I can see that he’s looking at me from his office.I immediately went inside his office because his voice kinda scared me.“What can I do for you, sir?”I asked.“Did you review these documents before letting me sign them?”Oh gosh! He’s in his beast mode again. “Oh, I'm sorry sir, I have not reviewed them”I rapidly got the papers on his table but to my ru

I guess I need to take a quick nap here on my table. I started to slowly close my eyes.I woke up in a very familiar place. I looked around and found myself still sitting on my spot inside the office. The lights were off and I cannot find anyone else here except myself. Where did my boss go? He left me here just like this ? He didn’t even bother to wake me up when he left? Damn that asshole!I am so scared of the dark. I walked around the office and said “ Hello? Is there anyone here? “No one answered so I continued to walk and found myself inside my boss’s office.I saw a man in a black suit, sitting right on the executive chair.I cannot see him clearly because it’s so dark.“Who are you? Why are you here?”I bravely asked as I grabbed the flower vase on the table. Of course I need to

I went home from work and when I arrived at my condo, I saw many people including my friends and some co-workers. They are inside my house. I remember that only my best friend Hanna knows the password to my door. I trust her so much to the extent that she can come anytime she wants to my home. They threw me a surprise party and I am so touched.“Awe! You guys are so sweet!”I said with genuine happiness. I blew out the candle and they sing me a happy birthday.We partied the whole night and everyone was very happy.Some guests are drinking hard, others are dancing on the floor and the couples here are making out.

Cassandra Lei’s POVOutside the building, I can see many reporters. As soon as they saw me, they started to take many pictures. Damn it! Why are they here? I covered my face trying to hide from the cameras.“Cassandra! Cassandra! Is it true that you are a drug addict?” The reporter asked. Damn it! they are so fast as lightning. It's like a set-up! How come they are already here this early.“Cassandra! Cassandra! Will this scandal affect your career? What are you going to do now?”They continue to call my name and ask more stupid questions. Hanna and I hurriedly get inside the police car.At the police station, the police officers started to question us. Hanna is beside me, she is holding my hand. I can see and feel that she is trembling. “You claim to be innocent of all these things, so tell me Miss, How come that this cocaine was found inside your drawer?”He asked and I explained what happened that night. “I was just having a birthday party that night and we did not do anything b
Cassandra Lei’s POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. It’s 7 in the morning. Ugh! I need more sleep. I turned the alarm off and got up.There’s a lot of things that happened yesterday. I still can’t believe it, my heart is still feeling heavy. I was just having the best night of my life the other day and then boom! My happiness disappeared in a second. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes are swollen from crying hard last night. I’m still pretty though. I did my morning routine. I took a shower and then I prepared my breakfast. While eating, I checked my phone. There are 10 missed calls from my manager Hanna and 15 missed calls from Trevor. I also received a text from my mom and dad who are living abroad, asking if I am okay.I know that Hanna’s calls are way more important so I decided to call her back. Fortunately, she immediately picked up.“Hello Hanna”I greeted her.“Cassy! I know you are not okay now but the Agency called, and they told
Cassandra’s POVThe drug test result has arrived and it turned out negative. Of course, it's negative! Because I have never used any illegal drugs before. The police will not arrest me anymore because of the negative result of the drug test, but the investigation is still ongoing. A drug has been found in my place, so the police said that there is still a possibility that I’m involved in this. They say that I might be a drug dealer or something. What the hell? These people are crazy!I’m here at my home alone. I opened my TV and watched the news. My agency has released a statement to the media about my scandal. It was broadcasted that my drug test result is negative but there is still an ongoing investigation about the issue. I don't think that statement completely cleared my name. I opened my phone and scrolled into social media. I read some of the comments from the statement that my agency has released.“That doesn't mean she's innocent”“But the drugs were found in her home, mayb
Cassandra’s POVWhen Trevor left, I immediately fixed myself and went to the mall with Hanna. We are going to go shopping. Of course, I need some new outfits for my new work.“Are you going to the mall looking like Cassandra? You need to cover yourself. People might recognize you”Hanna said while looking at me. Oh right! I need to wear sunglasses and a face mask to cover myself.We arrived at the Mall and started to browse some clothes. Hanna and I bought some clothes, bags and high heels.I'm really in a good mood when I go shopping.Shopping is one of the best events in a girl's life.This is everything haha.We walked for like 1 hour in the mall and I was feeling so tired. I asked Hanna to bring our shopping bag first to the car and I will just follow her because I need to go to the restroom. I can't take this anymore. I need to pee.After I peed, I just take a glance in the mirror to see if I’m still looking pretty. I catch the eyes of the 4 girls, they are looking at me. Damn it

Chapter 9Cassandra Lei’s POVI woke up with big news. The news of Trevor being in a relationship is all over the news. There are photographs of him and me last night.Luckily, my face was covered. I was wearing my disguised look. I have my sunglasses on, a facemask on my mouth, and a scarf covering my hair. [Headline: Actor Trever Hemsworth is secretly dating a non-celebrity girl.]Netizens in the comment section are so mean. They keep throwing bad words at the girl, well that's me but ugh! [How dare she date my baby Trevor? I am so angry][I will ruin that bitch life][She’s covering her face, I bet she’s ugly][No! I will not let her date my Trevor!]I stopped reading the comments. People are just so judgemental and rude. My phone rings and I received a call from Hanna.“Hello Cassy! I know you are the girl in the news! Why did you let yourself be photographed? You’re not being careful!”I know Hanna is angry right now. I forgot to tell her that I was having dinner with Trevor.
Chapter 8My duty for today ends at exactly 5pm. I got out of the office and immediately went to my car. Trevor just texted me to meet him up at that Chinese restaurant. He really knows me, he knows that I like Chinese foods, it's because I am half Filipina and half Chinese.I arrived at the restaurant and I saw Trevor sitting so handsomely while waiting for me. Trevor got us a VIP table. We have our own area. I know that he just wants to be safe from the paparazzis. Those people are like everywhere.He saw me and immediately waved at me. Damn that beautiful smile. Trevor held my chair for me so that I could take my seat. Such a gentle man.“Congratulations for being the secretary of Mr. Duke Harrington Cassandra!”Trevor said, he looks so genuinely happy for me. Without his help, I would not achieve these things.“Thanks to you Trevor”I replied and smiled back at him.“So, how was your first day of work?”He asked while taking a bite of his food.“It was pretty good, the working en
Chapter 7Cassandra Lei’s POVI know I am smiling like crazy right now while reading Trevor’s text. I am having dinner with him later.“Hey Lei, would you like to join us for lunch?”I lifted my gaze from my phone to the girl who was standing in front of my desk table. Damn! I forgot her name, who is she again? Ammmmm oh I remember She’s Amanda. She’s wearing glasses like me. She’s kind of pretty.“Oh, hi there, sure! Where are we having lunch?”I smiled at her. I think I need to make some friends to survive in this environment.“At the company’s cafeteria, come on let’s go”I was shocked when she grabbed me on my arm and raised me from my feet. Woah! This girl is clingy.“Okay, Okay”I replied and we walked out of the office to get some lunch. Our whole team arrived at the cafeteria; we are like six people.“So Lei, welcome to Xiangda Inc. Cafeteria!”Amanda said with all her energy. This girl is very hyper.This place is very huge. Many employees are having their lunch.We settled o
Chapter 6Cassandra Lei’s POVI froze on my spot when I met Mr. Harrington’s fiercening eyes. Oh my gosh! Does he recognize me? I mean, I am the girl who kissed him yesterday. I am so fucking doomed. Please! I hope he doesn’t recognize me.“Take a seat Ms. Tan”He started to speak and I felt so nervous. He is literally staring at me. Damn! I need to be calm. I should not mess this up because my career is in the line.“Mr. Harrington, this is my CV, all the information that you need to know is in there”I said as I handed him my papers. He looked at it and read them with his eyes.“Ms. Tan, you have no experience in this field, how can you assure me that you can do your job properly?”He questioned, damn! He looks so strict.“Yes, I have no experience in this kind of job because I’ve been an actress all my life, but I can assure you sir, that I will do my best to do my job well! I am a fast learner”I confidently answered him. I hope I passed.“Good, but I have to tell you this Ms. Tan,
