I stormed after him to his office, my face obviously as red as an overripe tomato. "Mr Paul Thomas, I want to resign—" "Where is my cup of coffee?" He questioned, ignoring my request yet again. My eyes narrowed into his. "I will not be getting you your cup of coffee because I'm resigning, Mr Paul!" He stared into my eyes intensely with an icy glare, but I stood my ground, refusing to be intimidated. "I already answered you in this topic, and I don't want to talk about it again. Get me my cup of coffee, or you'd be penalised!".... .....I swallowed the lump in my throat, trembling slightly af the dangerous glare in his eyes. "I want to leave." He stared intensely at me again before saying the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard in my life. "I could offer you another job," he started, his fingers grazing his chin as he drank in my appearance from head to toe, his eyes cold and calculating.

View MorePaul's POV My insides raged like a tornado, but I wore a peaceful expression as I observed the standing lady in front of me.Her hung head fell slightly, and her folded arms fell. Her face was white as she stared at me in shock, her face a definition of disbelief and suspicion."Why do you want me to be your girlfriend?" She questioned with her eyes wide and her face paled.I was a good discerner when it came to emotions and feelings. It was not so hard to figure out her feelings for me, and it made it all the easier for me to get under her skin.I could tell that beyond all that sass and defiance, there was that lady who wanted me to love her—acknowledge her and respect her. Hence, my new strategy. I could sense her defences, lowering bit by bit at my offer.The last thing I needed was for her to be free from me. Not after all that she did to me.She had been wearing the mask of a saint ever since since she got employed by me. Little did she know that I had employed her to get back
My eyes clouded with tears as I came to the heart-rending but liberating conclusion. I was leaving.The thoughts of my first time in the company crossed my mind, and I shut my eyes sadly.It had been my best day ever.I had been in a room with over fifty ladies who were also to be interviewed for the same position. Paul Thomas's secretary—The Paul Thomas.He was famous in the country and abroad for his feats in the business world at the young age of twenty-four. Twenty-one-year-old me had nothing other than a college degree, no job, and a young sister to take care of. I was terribly anxious on the day of the interview, especially after seeing many ladies storm out of the interview room in tears. I needed the pay that the job offered.When I was finally called into the room, I was blown away by the charms and intelligence of the young CEO. He had made me comfortable in his presence and had even complimented me.I was so surprised when I got the job. My screams were what woke my sleepi
My fingers trembled slightly, and my heart raced as I held the tie in my hands and reached to begin to button down his crisp white shirt.A sharp feminine scent drifted into my nostrils, making my head swim in pain. A pang of jealousy shot through my heart, but I kept my face straight, not saying anything or betraying any emotion.I could feel his eyes piercing my forehead, but I pretended not to, ignoring the chills that went down my spine, to save myself from the awkwardness.My fingers grazed his torso more times than I wanted it to, causing a tint of crimson to stain my cheeks in embarrassment. My attention was drawn away by a loud scoff from Tracy, who shot daggers at me before grabbing her things. She stormed out of the room, making sure to bang the door hard as she left.I turned to Paul, but he pretended not to notice that she had left, his eyes not leaving my face. What was he staring at? Shaking my head slightly, I continued buttoning his shirt, mumbling to myself."It's f
I never believed that silence could be this loud. The soft murmurs of voices from behind the closed door felt like a sharp blade stabbing my heart, and every whispered word and muffled laugh cut into me deeply.I sat outside the five-star hotel suite with my hands clenched into tight fists on my lap and my nails digging into my palms to distract me from the ache in my chest.Squeezing my eyes shut, I tried to drown the sounds that sounded like the tune of my misfortune, but I heard them loudly, even with my palms clamping my ears.Their moans seemed to only grow louder by the minute, making me wish I could just disappear.This wasn’t their first time, yet every pain hurt like the first. I had witnessed this scene so many times that I should have been numb to it by now, yet I felt like they were tearing me apart from the inside out. I had many reasons to question my reason for remaining Paul Thomas's secretary despite the many reasons I had to leave and kick his job to the curb. One
