Raphael’s pov
It’s been sixteen years since the last time I lived here. When I was twelve years old my mom and dad decided to bought a house here. Back then we lived as an ordinary family, dad used to work in a small company as a clerk and my mom did her duties as a good housewife and mother. We’re happy living a simple life as long as we’re together. But fate doesn’t make it possible for us to be complete. Somethings happen in our lives that we didn’t expect to come. Just like what happened to my family, it took everything to me. I left this place to live in England and I left without saying goodbye to the person that I love. Looking at the glass wall of my office, I can’t stop thinking about the past.
Sixteen years ago,
“El!”, I turned around to see her angelic face. She let out a sob while walking towards me.
“What are you doing here?”, I asked her looking at her teary eyes. I lifted my small hand to touched her face . It so soft and smooth like the petals of flowers.
“Why are you crying?”, I asked her again as she didn’t answered my first question. She looked at me with her green orbs and her tears rolled down to her cheeks as she cried silently. I felt my heart clenched in pain seeing her crying. I wiped her tears with my thumb.
“I’m sorry”, the only two words she said to me. She hugged me tightly that I felt her pain. Her hugs lead to my tears to flow unstoppable. All the sorrow and pain that I had kept in my heart in those three days of mourning after the death of my mom and dad came out of my heart. I cried to her shoulders while she hugs me to keep me warm, to support me. Her little hands cupped my face and kissed all my tears away . It made me froze for seconds.
“Stop crying El. I don’t want to see you crying.” She said to me, wiping my tears with her soft hands. I met her gaze as she looked at me.
She is my light, my happiness, my angel. My twelve year old heart kept and treasured her in the deepest part of it. She always gave me those sweet and beautiful smile that keeps me happy and strong. I know in my heart that I love this little angel, this little girl. I will do everything to keep her in my life, in my heart, in my mind...only for me.
I took a necklace in my pocket and put it to her neck. She looked at me with confusion in her eyes.
“I’m giving you the necklace.” I said to her with a smile.
“But it’s your mom’s necklace. It’s important to you. She left it to you to treasure and keep it. I can’t take it.” She said as she started to take it off.
“No, don’t take it off, please. You’re important to me. I want you to keep it. I’ll be happy if you’ll accept it. So, please accept it.” I told her while holding her hands to stop her on taking it off. She stared at me and sighed as she finally accepted the necklace.
“Okay, I will keep it for you.” She smile at me.
That was the last time I saw her, after the funeral of my parents my grandparents took me. And they convinced me to lived with them in England. That is also the time when I knew that my father is the only son and heir of my grandparents. My dad rebel to them because they don’t want to accept my mother as she came from an ordinary family. They looking for us when they finally accepted my mother. But before they found us my parents face an accident that leads to their death.
Present,
I was disturbed from the trance of my past of someone who knocked at the wooden door of my office.
“Come in.” I command to the person at the other side of the door.
“President, the members of the board are all in the conference room. They’re waiting for you.” I turned around to see peter who’s standing in front of my desk.
“Okay. Let’s go.” I said as I walked straight to the door out of my office.
The moment we got out of my office Peter informed me about the interview for my new personal secretary.
“President, tomorrow the HR department will conduct an interview to find you a suitable personal secretary. I’m sorry for what Miss Wright did yesterday.” He said as he followed me walking to the hall. I keep on walking straight where my personal elevator located.
We walked inside the elevator, he stand in the side of elevator button and press the down button for 20th floor.
“Make sure the incident with Miss Wright won’t happen again. Don’t repeat your mistake on hiring Miss Wright. I don’t want any troubles and disturbance in my company especially in my office.” I looked at him as I warned him for what happened yesterday in my office.
Yesterday I came back at two in the morning from an important business meeting abroad I went straight to my office. I planned to sleep and have some rest in my penthouse at my office before I attending this board meeting. When I opened the door of my office I caught the sight of my secretary lying on top of my desk naked, with her legs spread wide. Her pussy facing my office door giving me the view of her hole while she finger fucked herself. She let out moan while looking at me. Instead to reduced my jet lag my blood boiled in anger. I stepped towards her which she thought she made me turned on with her body.
I saw how she smirk thinking that she successfully seduced me. To her surprised I grabbed her right arm with more force and dig my fingers to her skin. I kicked her out of my office with her naked body. I feel disgusted to her action and fired her.
Now Peter should find me a suitable secretary who’s decent and have self respect. And won’t be attracted to me.
We stepped out of the elevator once we arrived at the 20th floor. We walked at the hall and reached the door for the conference room. Peter opened the door for me.
“President.” Peter said bending his head forward to give me a bow. All the members of the board rise on their seats and greeted me simultaneously.
“Good morning President!”, they greet as they bend their heads down forward in respect.
“Good morning everyone.” I greeted them back. Nodding my head.
“Let’s start the meeting.” I pulled my chair and sit on it.
Raphael’s pov The meeting last for five hours. It’s twelve in the afternoon when I decided to finished the meeting. We got out of the room and walked in the elevator. “Peter drive me at the mansion. I will take some rest.” I said to Peter. “ Yes, President.” he press the down button for the first floor. Peter and I walked passed the front desk. The girls in the front desk greet me with a smile. I ignored their flirtatious eyes as they looked at me. I continue to walked passed them as I heard a receptionist say the surname of the caller. I suddenly stopped on my track and listened to the receptionist as she ended the call. “Oh! Wait Miss Romano, can you kindly bring your resume here now. We need to send your resume at the Human Resources for the line up of the interview tomorrow.” The receptionist ended
