CHAPTER 5

Sofiya’a Pov.

I yawned and stretched my hands wide, Wow what a beautiful day to wake up. The bed was soft, the air felt fresh, and it felt like ages since I last woke up like a baby, So this is how it feels to wake up in the morning in a billionaire’s home.

I wonder what Michael is doing right now, maybe he was already at work.

“WORK!”I exclaimed “shit, shit shit…” I looked over at the clock beside my bed and it was already a quarter past nine. With superhuman speed, I made it to the bathroom, and in less than thirty minutes I was already on my way to work. My heart was pounding loudly as I made my way to the office, the driver had told me what floor Michael was and told me to have a good day before leaving. I knew fully well that was not going to happen. I cleaned my sweating palms against my skirt as the elevator took me to the top floor, for some strange reason, the elevator seemed to be the slowest I had ever been on and I wondered if I had taken the stairs I might have been on the top floor by now.

The elevator opened and I was greeted by a young lady who was probably around my age.

“You are the new secretary, right?”

“I guess so,” I replied shyly.

She looked at me from head to toe, sizing me up and I became very self conscious.

“Is that lipstick stain I see on your shirt?” she pointed looking at me with disgust.

I looked at my shirt and she was right. “I was running late, so I did not have time to prepare…..but it does look like a fashion statement,” I replied, trying to laugh it off.

“No, it doesn’t, you look pitiful,” she responded shaking her head. “I wondered what you did to earn this spot?”

“I got lucky...I guess,” I said.

“Lucky doesn’t work with Mr stones, you have to earn it… one will assume that you have been sucking his dick to get to this position,”

“Are you implying that I am a prostitute?”

“Of course not, Darling,” she placed a head on her chest dramatically, and then continued in a very soft tone, “Mr. Stone doesn’t fuck with people of your class. I’m not trying to be offensive but take a look at your hair, it looks like birds are living on it,”

I subconsciously ran my hands through my hair and felt like falling six feet under.

“Here, take this,” she said placing some pile on my hands and a cup of coffee.

“What am I supposed to do with these,” I asked.

“You are supposed to hand it over to Mr. Stone, he is going to be so mad when he sees how late you are,” she said and winked at me.

I gulped, took one deep breath, and knocked, he permitted me to enter.

I saw the anger in his eyes when he looked at me, he looked so dangerous, I wondered if he was going to turn into a werewolf and devour my human body or be kinder and stamped me against the wall and fucked me dirty until I begged him to stop.

Stop it Sofiya, where is that thought coming from?

Just one step, one little misstep and I fuck everything up. The paper, the coffee, and myself came crashing to the ground and I watched in horror as the coffee wet every paper. I look up at Michael, if I thought he was angry before, that was nothing because this time he was furious.

“WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, SOFIYA,” his voice thundered. “Are you always this incompetent?”

“I’m sorry,” I apologize, looking down at the mess I just made.

“You should be, you arrived late disobeying my orders and now you ruin everything in less than five minutes after arriving here,”

I bite my lips as I avoid his gaze. “I’m usually not like this, it won’t happen again,”

“It better not Sofiya or else I’m going to punish you severely,” he warned.

“What are you going to do to me?” I asked

“I’m going to do things to you that will alter everything you have ever known,” he warned, sending shivers down my spine. Something about the way he said those words felt like the sexiest thing I have ever heard, maybe it was the way his bicep was finely shaped in this white button down shirt, or maybe I was just sick in the head.

Either way, it was not good.

“Now get out of my office,” I hastily tried to gather the wet paper but it kept tearing into pieces irritating Michael more, “Leave those things, I will get someone else to do it. The next time you are here, you better be useful,”

I hurriedly made it out of the office and made my way to the bathroom to clean myself and hopefully look presentable. While I was doing that, the girl I had met earlier at the elevator walked into the bathroom and stood a few inches away from me redoing her makeup,

Looking at her, I felt insecure about myself, she was perfect, could do her makeup flawlessly, and looked like the kind of girl, Michael would be on a date with instead of me. I looked like a toad next to her, no wonder she thought I was undeserving of the job.

“Hi, I’m Sofiya,” I said stretching my hands for a handshake.

“I’m Anna,” she said and then stared at my hands. “I don’t shake losers like you,”

“I was just trying to be friendly,”

“Let me give you a word of advice, Sofiya. Keep acting the way you do and in no time, Mr Stone is going to get tired of you and I can finally secure what is rightfully mine,”

“What do you mean?”

“I should be the one working as his personal sectary, Do you have any idea of how long I wanted that position so badly but he gave it to you, a nobody,”

“I’m so sorry,”

“If you are, you should quit now,” she hissed and then left without another glance at me.

“I guess today is not my lucky day, I muttered to myself before walking out of the door.

But just as I was leaving the bathroom, I caught sight of someone whom I had not seen in so many years and I would not want them to see me in this terrible state, so I hurriedly ran back into the bathroom and shut the door behind me.

“Sofiya, is that you?” the voice called.

Damn! He saw me.
