2025-03-16 20:40:18SOPHIA'S P.O.V
"We have reached JFK Airport New York. It is 12:06 AM. Currently it is 10 degree Celsius outside. Your luggage will arrive at belt number 25. Thank you for flying with Delta Air Lines." The flight attendant announced. Yay! I'm in NYC!!!! I quickly got my luggage from the belt. I was so tired that without even having dinner I just slept off the moment I reached my hotel room. I just messaged Sam that I reached safely. CAIUS'S P.O.V "Good morning Mr. Michael !!" My finance manager Stefan greeted as we entered my cabin. "Is the financial statement of last quarter ready?" I ask him as I sat down on my chair. "Y-yes Mr. Michael ." "What is the quarterly revenue of our Seattle branch?" I asked him deadpanned. "I have......." "Is the new winter collection we started at the start of the quarter profitable for us? If yes then what is the net profit and gross profit ratio?" "I will..........." "What can you say about the EPS of our company due to the advertisement we did with the supermodel? Is it really benefitting our brand?" "I will look up....." "YOU ARE FIRED SREFAN!!" | yelled angrily at him. "Sir I'm sorry sir l'm really sorry sir. The statement is not ready. I will finish it by today sir." "The deadline was yesterday. You didn't come by yourself to say that your work isn't ready. It's when I call you. You lie to me. I won't tolerate this kind of unprofessional behaviour." I said. "Please forgive me this time sir." "This isn't the first time Stefan. Don't waste my time. Clock is ticking. Get out of my company." Knowing he is really at fault, he left my office soon. "Natasha, what about the interview for my personal assistant?" I asked my temporary assistant through intercom. "Yes Mr. Michael . The interview is scheduled from 9:00 AM. Almost all the candidates are here. If you are ready, I can send them in one by one." She spoke from the other side. "Alright. Send them in." SOPHIA'S P.O.V I woke up at 7:00 AM thanks to my alarm. Otherwise I would have slept till noon. I was so tired after the flight. And when I woke up I was damn hungry too. I didn't have anything after I landed. And if you ask about the flight I just had french fries. I quickly called room service for breakfast. I had two omelette and chocolate smoothie. I was full now. I bathed myself. I really loved the soaps which were in this hotel. I applied foundation then little bit blush. For eyes I did the mascara. Then I had to apply eyeliner. I love eyeliner. Lastly I applied maroon lipstick. I took my bag my resume. And I was ready for my interview. I put the sign of clean the room outside my room. After I went out of the hotel, the task was to find a taxi. It wasn't too hard, duh it's New York. There are taxis everywhere. I got one! "Good morning miss. Where to?" "Morning. Michael Clothing please." "Of course." We reached there in twenty minutes. I paid the taxi driver. When I was getting out of the taxi, he said, "Good luck for the interview." "Thanks. But how did you know?" I asked amused. "I saw your resume and your tapping of foot gave me the other hint." "Ohh!! Yess. Sorry about that." I smiled apologetically. "No issues. Good bye..." "Sophia." "Mike." He said. "Thank you Mike." And then I got off. I looked up at the skyscraper in-front of me. Top of it was the logo of Michael Clothing. I really wish I get this job. It will be a good break for me. With that thought I entered the building. Just I entered, I saw the receptionist desk. "Hi, I'm here for the personal assistant interview." I said to the young girl. "Sure! May I know your name please?" "Sophia Williams." "Alright. Take the second lift. The interview is on the 20th floor. There Natasha will guide you." "Okay. Thank you." I smiled at her. "Good luck!" She smiled. I nodded and proceeded towards the lift. As the lift was going up, I was getting nervous. What if I don't give my good impression? What if they don't like me? God!! Please help me. I reached the 20th floor. As expected there were several girls for the interview. I mean why not? Who wouldn't like to be the assistant for such a huge Business CEO. I looked around the room and spotted a lady who looked like the employee here. "Hey. I'm here for the personal assistant interview." "Good. I'm Natasha. I will call you when your chance comes. Till then you may have your seat." She said politely. "Okay. I'm sorry to be rude but who will be taking the interview?" "The CEO himself." "Oh! After 15 minutes or so Natasha called my name. "Sophia Williams !" "Yes?" "You are ready to go in." She motioned me to the cabin. Jesus!!

CAIUS'S P.O.V"May I come in?" A gentle voice came from outside."Come in."As soon as the door opened, a beautiful girl wearing black skirt and white v neck shirt entered. As I noticed her, I knew she did very minimal make up unlike other candidates, she still looked stunning.I hope she got brains, because I ain't hiring her if she doesn't show her skills.She seemed nervous, fidgeting her fingers. She has a white resume file I suppose."Sit.""Good morning Mr. Michael. I'm Sophia Williams." She confidently introduced herself. I liked that about her.Rest candidates were just a stuttering mess when they spoke."Sophia, can you give me your resume?" I asked gazing straight in her eyes."Here it is." She handed me the file.I had a look at her resume. Hmm, lives in California. Has a good business degree from California State University. Uh huh!No working experience. Strange!"Sophia you have an excellent degree in business. Why don't you have any working experience? You are 25, right

SOPHIA'S P.O.VI woke up on time for my first day at work. I decided to wear off white shirt and black pants with black heels. I did my make up minimal and left my brown hair open with just a clip at back."Are you ready sophia?" Natasha asked from outside."Yes yes coming."I came out my room. Natasha was all ready in black pencil skirt and baby pink shirt. She really was beautiful. Carter was lucky."Come on let's leave." I said."Wait first have some breakfast. Carter made it for us before he left for his work.""That's so sweet. I am hungry too."Within 10 minutes we both were in Natasha's car proceeded to Michael Clothing."Hey I wanted to ask Mr. Michael asked for the coffee yesterday. How does he like it? Any specific?""He likes his coffee from the canteen itself. He likes his coffee strong, so two shots of expresso will be good and then the normal process.""Alrighty.""Don't worry. Mr. Michael is rude, strict and demanding but I know you are dedicated. You will work it out."

SOPHIA'S P.O.VIt's been a month working for Mr. Michael.As he said, it wasn't a path of roses. His moods change like seconds in clock. One thing I have learnt about him is he is good when you are good with him. But honey if you come on his bad side, he is the fucking worst. I'm not joking.If you ask about me I have managed till now not to get yelling from him. I mean one time he did scream at me, but it wasn't my fault.I did a weekend trip to my home, but unfortunately I couldn't meet Sam as he had to go to France for his job.He is in marketing so he has to tour around more often.I still live with Carter and Nats. We have grown very close.I really can't thank them enough. But I have seen an apartment already. The rent looks in my budget too. So I'm planning to move out within two weeks or so. I can't be dependent on them forever.Today was Monday that means I have to see Mr. moody pants. Oh yes that's the name l have given to Caius Michael."Hey Mila!" | greeted the receptionist

CAIUS P.O.VI was working in my cabin peacefully when I heard commotion outside. What is it? I dialed the intercom, Sophia didn't answer. This hasn't happened before.Where is she? And what is this noise about?To look up, I went out to find my assistant sophia hugging a guy. Who the hell is he?Her back was facing me so I could clearly see the guy. He was well dressed, good looking guy but why is he here?He is definitely not my employee. Who the fuck is he? And why is she hugging him?"Sophia Williams!!!" My voice boomed.She quickly broke the hug but the smile didn't leave her face. She looked at me with confusion. I went towards them to have a nice talk."What the hell are you doing?" I asked looking dead serious in her eyes."He is my........" I didn't let her finish.I'm not blind. I know who he must be."I don't pay you to hug your boyfriend during office hours. Isn't it clear Ms. Williams?""Mr. Michael, you are getting it wrong. He just......""Shut up. Come to my cabin this

SOPHIA'S P.O.VI just had my dinner. I made meat balls and some noodles today. It was pretty good for the first time. When I used to live in California Sam used to cook for us as he is really a great cook. I never had interest in cooking. Mom used to scold me that I should at least be able to make somethingin case of emergency. I always used to ignore her by saying | will learn it later.But now I miss her. I miss her scolding me. I miss her cooking. I miss everything about her. No no tears right now Sophia!I was not at all sleepy. Nor was I interested to watch any show on Netflix. So I decided to take a walk in the neighbourhood. It was around 10:30. I know it was little late but they say that New York never sleeps. So yeah!Here I was walking on the streets of New York. Shops were closing down but restaurants were wide open. I was so mesmerised by the night life of New York I didn't know in which direction I started going. Before I knew it was too late because now I was on a compl

SOPHIA'S P.O.V"Bring me the file of the summer collection for Chicago office. Also book a reservation at Hyatt Regency for lunch for four people. I have a meeting with Mr. Henry. You will be coming too. Tell Mr. Lewis to meet me at 4 here with the sales structure of our new trouser collection."Caius spoke without looking at me and typing something on his laptop.I took a breath and asked, "Okay. Anything else Mr. Micheal?'He looked up his eyes gazing at me, "Mr. Micheal is not what I told you to address me.""I'm sorry. I'm not used to it yet.""Get used to it Sophia!!" He smirked."Or else what?""I will fire you." He shrugged."I know you can't and won't.""Sophia!!" He looked at me with warning.Now what? He is going to call me Sophia? Should I stop him?Or is it okay that he calls me Sophia?"Yes from now on I will call you Sophia. And you should not stop me. Because I like it." He smirked again.God I said that loud!!!"You are still saying it loud.""Fine. I will get to work.

CAIUS P.O.V"Sophia!" | smiled and wrapped my arm around her waist to pull her closer to me."I'm sorry, now that meeting is over we shall leave." I looked at her and could see sense of relief on her face."We should Caius She smiled back at me.Mr. Lewis excused himself. Hahaa!!"Thought you needed a little help there." I whispered in herear."I did. Thanks." She turned to me. We were standing too close. Our lips just centimetres away from each other. She had her hand on my shoulder and mine were on her waist.We kept looking into each other's eyes. No one wiling to break the eye contact.Just to ruin the moment, her phone went on. She excused herself and went to answer the phone.And on that cue, Mr. Lewis's secretary approached me."Hey Caius What are you doing tonight?" She asked in a seductive tone."I'm going..."On a date with me." Sophia answered it. I looked at her surprised. Shocked to be more precise.She was smiling at Tanya the secretary.Tanya's face was worth watching.

SOPHIA’S P.O.V "Honestly I love your apartment. It's small and cozy. This is what home should feel like. Huge mansion are just spacious. They don't give the homely feeling." He shrugged. Wow! I'm impressed. "You are correct here. Let me get my purse then will leave, okay?" "Alrighty. By the way Sophia, you look absolutely gorgeous." He was so close to me. I could feel his body. And not to mention his deep husky voice did the big job. "T-thank you Caius. You don't look bad yourself." I said. I wanted to say he looked like a greek god but I think that would be too much. "Thanks." He smirked. ... CAIUS P.O.V Oh my goodness! Sophia looked so freaking stunning. She is wearing a dress which hugs her body in all the right places. She is looking so ravishing. The moment I saw her I wanted to kiss her so badly. But I controlled my emotions. We are seated in a posh restaurant in NYC. We have placed our order. Sophia is currently looking everywhere but at me so I have decided to brea

SOPHIA'S P.O.VI thought you were going to keep mute the whole time. And for your information we met a month ago. A lot can happen in a month." Sophia said in her sassy tone to Peter."I'm staying away from you. You just speak so blunt yet so right. I can't handle you. I pray for you Caius, Peter shook his head."You will get used to it. You are my boyfriends close friends.So we will meet often Peter." I chuckled."I wonder how your girlfriend or future wife will handle you.You are so quiet." I said without much thinking but then I knew I made a mistake.All three of them got so serious. Like their faces were just blank. I could feel the tension in air. I couldn't read any of them."My wife died giving birth to our son. Our son didn't survive too." Peter broke the silence looking out of the window behind Caius, Oh my god! That's terrible, I am so sorry for bringing it up, I was not aware.One Look at Caius to just believe this is true. I mean it is such unfortunate thing for Peter.

SOPHIA P.O.V"Caius, I can agree on the second part but you can't fire Max. When he asked me out we were not going out. He didn't know. He is innocent. You will not fire him, okay?""Sophia why do you have to talk good about him? He is not your boyfriend. I'm your boyfriend. I don't want any man near you knowing he wants to date you." Caius said with a pout. How cute!"Caius, can't you trust me? Though Max wants to go out with me but I don't want to. I want to date you not him. Do you get it?""Fine I won't fire him. But if he comes near you and ask you out again, he is fired." He glared."Okay. Now let me tell him that I can't come to dinner." I took out my phone."After that I will drop you to your home.""Alrighty." I gave him a peck on his cheek.I was about to dial Max's number, when Caius pulled meback. I collided with his chest. It was like he was back hugging me. He kept his face in the crook of my neck, placing soft kisses on my neck."C-Caius?" It came out as a whisper."Wh

CAIUS P.O.V"You didn't even remember about the kiss." Sophia said softly.Oh my sweet girl."Sophia?" | slowly lifted her chin up with my finger."What?" She asked."I remember everything about the kiss." I said looking intoher eyes."You do?" She asked softly, sounding unsure."Yes I do. I didn't forget. That kiss meant a lot to me.Throughout my stay in Athens, it was just you in my mind." I wrapped my hands around her waist securely, closing the distance between us."I'm flattered Mr. Micheal." She gave me a teasing smile."So does that mean I get to kiss you again?" I put a strand of her hair behind her ear."I think so, yes." She chuckled.I wasted no time in crashing my lips on her. As if the time stopped right there, nothing else existed for me. It was just us, showing each other our care for each other through a kiss. Her lips felt so soft against mine. I could kiss her forever. This girl is making me go crazy about her.After kissing for some time we broke apart. But still

SOPHIA P.O.VI was checking the expense file Caius told me to go through, then suddenly Max appeared infront of my table."Hey beautiful." He bent down a little bit."Hi Max. How are you today?" I smiled.A little piece of information, Max Fisher is a employee of Micheal Clothing in the Purchase Department. He is a good looking guy, well mannered. He has been asking me if I would like to go out with him since last week. He seems like a good guy, but whatever happened with Caleb, I just don't want to go there right now. Or maybe I have kinda developed feelings for my boss."So formal Sophia. Now I'm your friend right?""Right now I'm just Mr. Micheal's personal assistant. So what are you here for?" I said teasing him."Well, if that's the case, I'm here for asking you that have you thought about the date?""I did. And I have concluded that I'm sorry. But right now I really can't date you or anyone else for that matter.""Alright Alright. I really don't know about your past. But I'm as

SOPHIA P.O.V"I'm sorry Mr. Micheal. I didn't know you came back. I thought only Sophia was in here. That's why........."That's why you barged in like you own this company. You recently got promotion didn't you? I think I should..."Caius please. It was a innocent mistake by her and she said sorry. Don't be hard on her." I had to interject now. He may have cancelled her promotion. And she truly deserved it."I'm really sorry sir." Natasha looked down.Caius glared at her, then looked at me with a look that said "What now?"Then I gave a look "Let her go.""Fine. You may go Natasha." He still looked so fearful."Thank you Mr. Micheal, thanks Sophia." She smiled at me."Don't worry. Go." I smiled back.She went out of the cabin literally running. I can imagine her fear."So where were we?" Out of nowhere Caius was behind my back.Is he alien?I turned around to face him, "I was telling you how dedicated your employees are.""Ah yes. They fear me actually. By the way, just give me the

SOPHIA P.O.VIt was next Monday I was sipping my coffee at office. If you are wondering was Caius back? The answer is no. He isn't back yet. He told me he would come by Friday but today i.e Monday he still isn't here. And yes how much I didn't want to miss him, honestly I did miss him last week. I used to work whole day in office. I was busy entirely but still something was missing. I could feel it.Caius yelling, Caius smirk, Caius "I need Sophia coffee", Caius "Bring me this file right now, it felt so different without him in the office.And last but certainly not the least, the fact that he kissed me was going in my mind everyday every minute. I know I should forget about it but I can't. There has to be some reason why he kissed me. Be it lust, but something has to be there.Suddenly I remembered I had to take Expenses file from Caius cabin and give it to Natasha. I got up and went in his cabin.I went towards the file shelve and was searching for it. I really need to rearrange th

I love your own personal clothing style."Embarrassed, "Thank you.""So what is your take on love?" She asked.Oh so deep!"I always say love is the only thing which keeps us sane.Without love, there is no life.""I'm impressed Caius. Well, for me love is a part of life.There are so many other aspects in life like money, stability.I mean money is so much important.""I agree money is important, but not more than love.""What would you do with love if you don't have money? You will live on streets?"Why is she so shallow?"Yes I would. If you have a person who you love and loves you back, that is your home. You don't need four walls to find a home. Home is where your loved one is.""Here are vour meals sir and madam." The waitress served Us.Both of us had our meal in complete silence. To be honest I didn't want to talk to he

Not Natasha nor Mia nor my brother.I was currently typing a report which I needed to emailCaius before lunch."Good morning Sophia." A voice stopped me from typing.I looked up to find Theo at my desk. A smile formed on my face. Theo seemed nice guy when we met earlier."Morning Theo. How may I help you?" I got up."A perfect assistant tone I see.""I have got habitual to it." I chuckled."Good. How's everything going? Any trouble?""Not for now. I was just typing sales meeting report to email to C-Caius. Have you heard from him?" | nervously asked."Yes he called me today to just tell me to come here and see everything."Theo said, he didn't give any expression or hint that he knew about this kiss or Caius talked about it."Okay. Did he say anything about me? I-I mean any specific work for me?" I tried to ask him one more time.
THE CEO’S SECRETARY Chapter twenty one
CAIUS P.O.VI kissed her! kissed Sophia! I kissed my personal assistant.Jesus christ! I really saw some different emotions in her eyes when I went to say good bye to her. I honestly thought she was little disappointed that she is not going with me.Maybe I was wrong. So I kissed her. I wasn't wrong. Though she didn't kiss me back, she didn't push me either.Frankly she was shocked. But in my gut I know she enjoyed the kiss. I can't wait to get back to her. I won't call or message her right now. I will give her some time to digest all this.I reached Athens safely. I was about to reach my parents vacation villa. They were staying there for two weeks now.Milsy and Seb were in New York because they had their school and university.I reached the villa. The villa was modern in architecture. My mother is a architect so she chooses every hotel, or house she lives in with utmost inspection and everything."Hello mom!!!" | hugged her from back as she was sitting in lawn with dad beside her.
