I took a deep breath and acted as if I would comply. When I felt his tension begin to ease, I ran. Before i could even go far, Ryder grabbed me by my arm and pulled me to his chest as he placed the mouth of the gun on my forehead. "This feels very familiar but there's a difference, Gianna," he said, looking coldly at me. I gulped as I waited for him to finish. "This time around, there's no running away. This time around, Gianna Hunter, you will not be escaping me," he completed and I sucked in a deep breath. I felt tingles all over and I rolled my eyes to get a glimpse at the gun pointed at my head. "Sir, people are staring," a man beside us whispered. Ryder looked at me for a second more then raised his head to see who was looking. "Deal with them," he told the man th
GIANNA "Big mistake, Gianna," he growled out and with the look he gave me, I knew I'd fallen right into the infamous Ryder Black's trap and I had no way to get out. Fuck. "S-sir?" I stammered out. Ryder smirked and stood up from his chair. I gulped and stood still. He came closer and leaned on the desk beside me. Staring straight into my eyes, he picked up the contract and opened to a page. "I've got you where I want you, wife," he chuckled darkly and I gulped. My heart raced as my shaky hands collected the contract and read the clause. "The contract says that as my secretary you're going to have to live with me and follow me everywhere I go." "That's the job of a bodyguard. I'm not your bodyguard," I blurted. "Secretary, bodyguard, what's the difference? Besides, had you stayed back four years ago, you'd stil be doing the same thing, right?" he asked. How the hell did he remember? It'd been so long. "What if I want to pull out of the contract?" I a
GIANNA "Gianna, where are you?" Elder Jiang asked, nervously through the phone. I handed the cab driver his money and began hastily walking through the front doors of the coffee shop. "I'm almost at your office," I said, disconnecting the call. I hastily walked to his office. I was getting set to come to work when he called and said I should hurry. I didn't know what the problem was but it sounded urgent. "You came? Oh, you really don't know what's coming for you, Gianna," Janelle said, out of nowhere. I rolled my eyes and continued on my way. "Don't you want to know what I mean?" "Not interested in meaningless gossip. It doesn't suit you too. Makes you less attractive; not that you were attractive in the first place though, don't get me wrong," I told her, grinning. Without waiting for a reply, I went on my way and reached Elder Jiang's office. "Sir, I'm here," I greeted, pushing open the door. I raised my head to look at me and the breath was knocked o
GIANNA FOUR YEARS LATER "Table 5c. Corner. Coffee, completely black and not even a drop of sugar should go in. Got it? Also, says whoever makes the coffee should be the one to serve him. Everyone else is busy right now so you're gonna have to take this one. Don't mess it up. This one looks important," Janelle ordered as she came in with her notepad. I nodded at her and set to work. I quickly made the coffee then stepped out to give it to the customer. My eyes landed on the back of a man sitting by himself and holding his phone. From what I could see, he looked well off. I smoothed my apron and plastered the widest smile I had as I stalked to his side. "Be Warm Café, we hope you enjoy this warm cup of—" I began immediately I reached his side but as I looked at his face, my heart jumped to my mouth and I lost balance, immediately falling on him along with the coffee in my hand. The coffee spilled on both of us and I fell into his arms. Instinctively, I closed my
GIANNA'S POV "Sir, how do you feel about becoming the next CEO of the company? It already is a known fact that you've helped it even without holding an official position but now, you'll be getting the title. How does it feel?" the reporter asked. The man who the question was directed to cleared his throat and a few of the female reporters around me died. Not actually died but yeah, you get it. "It's an honor for me to be able to lead the company and I assure both its employees and the masses that I will do my best to take the company to greater heights," he replied, his deep voice resonating through the hall. I snorted at his words and the same female reporters looked at me. "What?" I spat out, glaring at them. They instantly turned away and I relaxed into my seat. The company had gone through a lot to be able to get into this press conference and all these girls were thinking about was how to get this devil's digits. "Gigi, calm down. You're still new here but look how you're
