Okay, I’ll seduce this ass-hat and eventually use this scandal to my benefit,’ I resolved, more determined than ever to teach this pretty boy Damon a lesson…
Or wait! Better still.... I’ll make him fall in love with me, and make him want me on his own accord and then Mrs stone gets her scandal and I’ll leave him with nothing, heart broken at my mercy.’ I pondered as I slowly paced back and forth the large working space in my office.I was flared up nowNo one gets to make me feel less or insignificant,’ now enraged ‘I don’t get why he felt the need to embarrass me like that,’ still puzzled and trying to make it all make sense.I was just simply looking at him…, well I admired him a bit, but he was obviously looking at me too, come on…he was the only person in the room of course I’m gonna look at him, jeez’ the hellI really don’t care anymore, screw this…I’m gonna do it anyway, I have nothing to loose…,Besides, I have to get married to a rich man to be able to afford the comfortable life my mother always wanted for me.I just have to act all nice and cute around him and soon enough, I’ll have him wrapped around my pretty little pinky.’ I paused with a sly smile now on my face.The game is on, and he’s in for a real treat, cause now I’ll get to show him who the real boss is around here… when I’m done with him, he’ll wish he’d never met me,’ I walked over to my desk to take a seat smiling sinisterly ‘I’ll make him fall so hard and so bad that standing wouldn’t even be option anymore’•“Good evening mr Damon, how was your meeting sir?” I said immediately I saw mr Damon walking out the company’s complex“It went very well Miss Steve…, I don’t remember asking to meet up here so what are you doing here? …are you here to do some more explaining or do you want to submit your resignation letter?” He reply nonchalantly with an air of arrogance, clearly not in the mood to see me.I chuckled lightly “Not at all sir, I wouldn’t want to leave without a fight now, aye… I’m sure so many people would jump at a chance to get the position I occupy in your prestigious company, I’d rather hold onto it a while longer” I countered snarkily “I just wanted to say hi properly since we started off on the wrong foot, you know…clear up any misunderstan…..”“There’s a lot of work mapped out for you tomorrow, report to my office 7am sharp”,he rudely cuts in on me, obviously uninterested in what ever I had to say to him…as he exits the building not even sparing me a second glance.“Have a good night sir!”, i yelled after him as I watched him leave the building,I could swear that he was avoiding to look at my face…I’m gonna get you mr arrogant and you’re gonna beg for me… I shook my head at how crazy I sound while smiling to myself.I’ve always been a proficient actress and what better time to put my skills to the test than now.I have innocent beautiful face and an amazing body, he’s a man, all I need to do is flirt a little and be efficient in doing my job, which would make me indispensable and so enough he’ll come crawling to clear things up.•“Good morning Naomi, you look really bright today, d’you sleep well?”I nodded frantically, with a huge grin on my face…I’m pretty sure he was weirded out of his mind at how insane I looked just now while nodding“I thought you won’t be back today, seeing how you left yesterday really downcast after meeting with the boss”, Daniel blurted out, shocked to see Naomi so ecstatic and energetic like a bull on testosterone.“Good morning Daniel,and why would I do that?…this has been my dream job since college, so I’m just very glad to be working as a secretary to the CEO”I just replied with a believable hearty smile.You just wait till I’m done with him,’ I muttered to myself still smiling“Okay, am actually glad to hear this… love the energy….but just to put it out there, so you can understand the boss a bit. I’ve been working with him since he became the CEO, we’ve been here for two years and I’ve noticed that he’s not exactly okayy or settled with having ladies around him,due to the tragic loss of his mother. Just be patient with him and you will be fine”“Thank you Daniel. I’ll keep that in mind”.I replied while taking down mental notes I too lost my dad or rather he left me, but I don’t go around treating men like shit or chasing all the boys away while acting cold and really aggressive towards them,’That’s no excuse really, there are better ways to handle a loss and Damon just needs to learn the hard way, maybe losing something valuable will teach him,’I’ve never been this driven to do something this sinister before,but I’ll do it anyway, cause the heck? I was wearing very light natural makeup today, just to accentuate my look and facial features, my outfit was pretty flattering to as it brought out my hourglass figure,I wore a semi short skirt today, it’s not skimpy inappropriate short, but just short enough to flaunt my long legs just a bit above my knees, then I topped it off with a long sleeve turtleneck blouse that I tucked into my cute little skirt cause I’m modest like that,’ wink,winkAnd here goes nothing‘Good morning mr Damon,’I greeted as I entered into his office after knocking lightly in the door.“Morning miss Steve. These are your co-workers from the sales and finance accounting department and I want you to work on their records from 2years ago” Damon responded quickly to naomi’s greeting whilst doing a once over at her and noticed something different in her appearance. Why the hell does she look so familiar…he thoughtand is that makeup on her face? She looked plain yesterday but today’s she looks a little extra and who know she’d have such a nice shape under the hideous outfit she wore when we first met. …wait, Is she showing off to Daniel?he’s clearly puzzled at this pointWell, apparently Daniel is quite a catch but, I just don’t wanna ever see any cuddling around me. I haven’t been in a relationship for a long while now and I tend to keep it that way.“Ok sir”, I answered when I noticed mr grumpy face avoiding my gaze purposefully after our first glance. I may have to intensify my efforts, but there’s still a lot of time, so no pressure.“Hi miss Steve” one of the two ladies piqued excitedly as we all walked out of the boss’ office“Hi, please call me Naomi” i replied with a brilliant smile“It’s nice to meet you,I’m Nora and she’s Sophie” the lady with the beautiful curly dirty blonde hair chirped as she gestured to the ginger haired friend“Great, so I’ll be needing a copy of every of your records from two years ago. I can come with you now to get them” I replied the ladies as we walked towards the elevator.“That won’t be necessary, I will send you a copy after we’ve sort it out. You don’t need to stress about it”, Nora replied in return“I heard you resumed yesterday, how’s it like working this close to the boss and how is he like?”, Sophie asked quickly not being able to hold her excitement in.“Uhm... It’s okayyy and like you said I just resumed, so I don’t really know anything about him”, I was surprised by her question and chuckled involuntarily.It seems I’m not the only one on a quest to get the boss’ attention, but clearly our motives are different.I mean, he is good looking after all, his physique is emaculate and he’s incredibly successful, I’m pretty sure everyone wants a piece of him, Naomi soliloquies with a lopsided smile on her face.“Sophie!!” Nora harshly whispers as she scolds her colleague for being so unprofessional “why would you do that?…We are sorry naomi, don’t take this the wrong way,Sophie has been here for just a month and only gets to see the boss when he resumes for work so she was just curious to know about him”, Nora offered hoping naomi didn’t get a wrong impression about them.“Oh no, It’s fine. I totally get it , we are all ladies come on,I really do understand, it’s nothing for to get all worked up about, I won’t say anything… I swear”, I asssured them with a smile not wanting to put them on edge“Thank you very much and I’m sorry for asking such weird questions”, Sophie said to Naomi“So we’ll see you around,…the company usually holds a welcoming ceremony rather an evening outing when someone new joins the company, so i guess we will get to meet up after work” Nora added“Oh wow and I wasn’t told. Are you sure that’s gonna happen?” “sure it will, it’s more like the company’s ritual, we have a get together after a new intake has been assigned a task to do, and I guessing this is your first assignment, so we will surely be holding a gathering tonight”, Nora said with a smile while waving Naomi off leaving with Sophie who was equally waving back too.I could only think ‘it’s gonna be a long ass day for sure’I’m finally done with my task and the hell time flies so fast. I think it’s about time I call it a day but Daniel still looks so engrossed in the work and my boss hasn’t stepped out since I last saw him. I’m sure they both have no love life, they look so serious with their works, I scoffed and stood up to go see my latest project I’m not sure there’s going to be any evening outing, everyone seems so busy, I muttered with an air of disappointment. Well I better go submit this documents so I can take a quick look at my project , I chuckled lightly but was honestly a little bit excited to see him Damon is quite attractive, I’ve not gotten every detail of his face but he’s very cute and those ivy blue eyes ,I swear I could get lost in them if I stared at them for too long. “Good day sir , I’m here to submit the documents, I’m done with them” , I spoke out trying to get a glimpse of his face and he was definitely acting like I wasn’t here. I’m so sure with this look on his f
And here comes the jerk, striding in with those long legs and looking so handsome in his casual clothes. I’m supposed to be mad at him, why the hell I’m I noticing how good he looks this evening. “Good day sir”, I gave a scornful look as they all stood and chorused almost the same time like robots “I’m sure you all know that we are here because of our new intake, Naomi Steve. You can all sit and please no titles tonight, forget about work and enjoy yourself and yes no hangovers, you all have work tomorrow and anyone who comes late will be sacked and this is not a threat, it’s a warning”, he said with a stern look on his face as he took a sit close to Daniel “Good evening Mr Damon, how are you doing today sir?'' Sophie and some other female workers who are clearly fans of our boss' cute face and financial status quickly added as they pushed themselves closer to the boss and they were giving him their best smiles. It was such a funny scene to behold , I literally thought their faces
“Good morning Naomi”, Sophie said with a smile that definitely looks so fake, like she forced it out “Morning Sophie and why are you here this early?” I asked looking at her with suspicious eyes “I just wanted to greet you and I hope you enjoyed yourself last night?”, Sophie asked with a sinister look on her face “Thanks a lot Sophie, yes I did, it was fun”, I replied giving her a fake smile in return knowing fully well why she was here “I’ll see you later then,have fun while it last”she murmured the last part as she walked out slowly “Ok. Bye”, she’s obviously here because I was talking with the boss all night,it looks like what she has for our boss is more than a crush. Rrng rrng , the office phone rang……“Naomi come to my office now, don’t waste any minute”, he said with so much authority and the line was cut off immediately without even waiting for my reply “Good morning sir , sir you called for me?”, I said immediately i entered his office and stood in front of his des
“I haven’t heard any news from you, it’s been a week, I hope you’ve been getting closer to him?”, Mrs stone asked through the phone hoping to get a positive response “Yes ma’am, everything’s going according to plan ma. I will be very close to him for the next two weeks”, I replied her as I wondered why she called just after a week “Ok, that’s good to know. I need you to do a perfect job because my son would be back from his business program in less than two months. So whatever you are doing, do quick and get done with it”, she added and I could literally feel how excited she was. “Ok ma. Will do just as you have said” I answered fully ready to end the conversation but i couldn’t… “One urgent task you need to do this week and report back to me”, she said and I knew this task will definitely not be easy knowing how desperate she was “Ok ma. What’s the urgent task?”,I asked feeling skeptical about it “I want you to take a step further and make him kiss you or you kiss him. Let
“Did you hear anything? Were you eavesdropping on me?”, I asked a little scared and angry as I faced this jerk. “No I didn’t. Did you say something that I should know about?”, he asked still maintaining his calm face, like nothing just happened in his room “Ok sir”, I muttered with a sigh of relief and entered my room. Anywhere far from him would be appreciated ~Back in New York ~ “Your suggestion of presenting a relationship worked out well, it’s good you are being useful”,he uttered “Oh ok sir. I’m glad it helped”, I muttered withought facing him. “His obviously acting like nothing happened, I just didn’t know that one could be a jerk and also a pervert”, I murmured to myself knowing fully well that I was trapped with him It’s either I do Mrs Stone’s bidding, or I repay him what he deserves, either way he’s at the losing end. “Make sure to go over all the remaining documents and if there’s any issue, call my attention to it”, he added as he proceeded to step into
“Sophie hey, how long have you been standing there? Do you need anything? Or you want to see the boss?”, I asked not really bothered if she saw or heard anything, I just didn’t want trouble “Oh not really, I heard you were back from the business trip with the boss so I wanted to stop and say hi but it seems you guys are busy”, she said putting on a sheepish smile. “Sophie I know you have a crush on the boss but I hope you don’t misunderstand whatever just happened now”, I tried explaining “I didn’t hear much, I just heard when you yelled you don’t agree with him. Is there anything you would like to share? " she asked, staring at me with eager eyes. “Would you like to get closer with the boss?”, i asked as I happily thought of ways to torture damon without doing it myself. “Would you really do that for me?”, she asked looking really excited “Of course I would. What are friends for? If you want to get closer then I can help with that”, I muttered and smiled because Damon will
~Sophie’s pov~ Did Naomi just make a fool out of me? And he completely acted like he didn't know me at all. Wait… was he for real? My last name doesn’t ring a bell? And I’ve been in this company for more than a month now and he still doesn’t know me or maybe even just remembers seeing my face around the company. And the hell he could address Naomi by her first name but wants us to address her professionally. I don’t really know what Naomi has done but I’m sure gonna give her a fight over this. How the hell could I let myself be deceived by that bloody attention seeker. “Hey Sophie! Why are you in a hurry? How was it? And Why did you guys not talk for long?”, I asked trying to understand why she was in a hurry because she didn’t spend more than five minutes there and that was definitely not enough to set the bomb. “Thanks a lot for your help and I’ll be sure to repay it”, she said and left in a hurry without looking. “It obviously did not go well and I’m sure it didn’t go the
“Everything has got to go according to plan and make sure to keep your eyes on Naomi, she’s working for me”, mrs stone sputtered through the phone expressing her low confidence in Naomi“Ok ma'am. I’ll keep an eye on things here”.“I don’t fully trust that girl if anything happens or you suspect anything just let me know immediately, we will do away with her”, she said coldly“Whatever you say boss I’ll keep my eyes on things here ma’am, just relax and trust me I’ve never failed you and I won’t start now”, the unknown person answered confidently through the phone“I trust you, it’s just that girl I don’t trust. She didn’t want to do it at first then all of a sudden she’s very ok doing it and it makes me suspicious”, mrs stone explained. “Ohh I also suspected that. I’ve been in the company for a very long while and the boss has never agreed to have female workers so close but she got so close so fast”“I’m happy this plan is going the right way but I’m just being careful so I don't get
Seeing his face the memory rushes in like a flash, reminding me of last night. “Now I’m definitely sure that jothan is up to no good,” Nora said to herself hearing her doubts clearly. Well there isn’t much to say or prove to anyone but I’m very sure he’s up to no good. “But wait… it’s his dad company so maybe he was sent to pick up something for him or for Damon himself?,” I questioned myself trying to think things through and place my suspicions rightly. I just can’t get this feeling out of me, it’s like oil rolling of my back. Maybe after all I should really be careful around him and I’ll love to let it go but no! I’m going to find out to what extent he will go if he’s truly up to something. “I’m no longer a puppy in love, following after a boy like a lost cause,” I confirmed to myself. It’s high time I do something meaningful and help find out and maybe it’ll help me clear out the guilt I feel towards Damon. I have to help out anyway I can… “
“Damon I can explain”, I shivered as I could finally open my mouth to say something. “What do you mean you can explain?”he asked, putting on an indifferent look on his face. “I mean.. you know.. I didn’t mean to”, i stammered completely scared and ashamed of myself. “Why do you look scared baby, be calm”, he uttered moving closer to me. “Uhn?” I asked in confusion. “It’s fine baby girl, I don’t want you to be scared around me and it’s completely normal if you wanted to do a research”, he said, caressing my cheeks. “Uhn?!”, I asked, completely lost and still confused. “Didn’t I just get caught ?!”I murmured to myself “Let’s call it even, I have your info and you equally have mine.”, he murmured calmly with a soft smile. “What?!”, I asked, still completely confused. “I said it’s okay baby, it’s even now I guess but I don’t want you using whatever you got there to judge me”, he said putting on a pity face. “OKay I guess”, I stammered as my heart continued to be
“You finally agreed to come out with me for dinner?”, He muttered putting on his best smile. I missed you, missed your feel against my skin, it felt like you were slowly drifting away these past weeks”, he murmured bitterly. “You know I wasn't purposely avoiding you, I needed a little space and we definitely shouldn't be too close at work”, I explained feeling a lot better and less worried after I didn't get any reply or messages for the past two weeks now. “I thought I asked you not to worry about that, I call the shots so you never have to be worried.”, He said convincingly, staring directly at my eyes. “And what happens when you don't get to call the shots anymore”, I asked, staring back at him hoping to see if he had any secret fear of that happening. It would be better if he could have such fear and be on the lookout for himself. “if I don't get to call the shots anymore then I'll still be very glad and happy to just have you by my side.”, He said with so much sincer
~Nora pov~Is he ignorant or he just boldly told Sophie a vital information that could give her access to know more and maybe, just maybe have a leverage on Naomi. I've been trying so hard not to act weirdly around him because his presence literally sends shivers down my spine. It's very weird how I feel somehow around him, like I should hide myself and be safe. I'm sure it's the fact that I was in love with him and did some very bad things for his mom and now that so-called love can't even recognize me. I would sure keep my heart locked up tight, there is nothing as heartbreaking to know he couldn't recognize me even just for the sake that I worked in his house from childhood. No inclining or anything!! Or would I say that it's okay I looked only familiar?! Nothing can truly replace this hurt in my heart and I shouldn't blame jothan right? I can just take the easy road and blame Mrs stone, she's the one behind all this and jothan should possibly know nothing and is innoce
“why did you turn down the get together meant for you?”, Sophie asked angrily but more with a disappointed look on her face. “There wasn't any need for it anymore, it ain't my first task since I've been here for a while now and besides it's my company, so why throw a party for me?”, Jothan said sitting on his desk which was beside Sophie's. “Firstly, it's Damon's company and secondly, everyone was looking forward to the get together. You know it's the one time we get to meet each other freely and have free drinks” Sophie said with a pout as she was greatly disappointed. “We both know why you wanted it to hold and trust me whatever plans you had in this little head might not have worked out well”, jothan said touching Sophie's head lightly before she pushes it away. “Don't touch me! I've warned you severally”, she called out as she felt like she was caught red handed by jothan in her schemes. “You know the only reason I haven't sued you is because you are my future brother-in
~ Mrs stone~“So you finally agreed to let my boy start working in your company”, Mrs Stone uttered through the phone with an air of sudden achievement. “I assume you called for something important and just to refresh your memory jothan’s my son too,” Mr Robert answered very irritated when he heard her voice, he was way too in a hurry to end the call with her. A call with her never amounted to anything. “Oh wow, this calls for celebration, you finally recognize him as your son?!” She spews out. “What do you mean? Did I ever once reject him?!”he responded doubting his words a little, but always losing patience with her. “Never giving your supposed son a spot in your company and taking him away from home all in the name of business school isn’t rejection enough for you?”“And why would you say such? I thought it only fair for Jothan to attend business school just as Damon did”, Mr Robert responded, never understanding the way she thought. “You don’t mind explaining why he’s at s
“Hey!”, I finally called out to him after he’s been trying for days to talk to me and I blatantly always excused myself. “Hi! Can you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me? And please be honest with me”, Damon asked, staring at me. “Nothing for real, I just needed work space. I just needed to focus”, I excused myself. There’s no way I’ll tell him it’s because I felt bad everytime I had to face him with such plans I had in stock for him. “There’s no way I’m falling for that, if there’s anyone needing space to work don’t you think it will be me?”, he asked getting a little pissed off “Or did jothan say anything to you?”, he said with eager eyes ready to chop someone’s head off. “Really? Your brother?!”“I’m running out of options here because I clearly can’t remember doing anything wrong”, he said. “I really don’t think we should be having this conversation besides I’m only your secretary and nothing more”, I said as I decided to take it a little slow with him while I made pl
“Hey mom! How are you doing?”, jothan says, answering his call. “I’m very good, in fact I’m more than just good, I’m so excited”, Mrs Stone exclaimed as she expressed herself through the phone. “Oh wow that’s great. I’m sure it’s not the fact that you are hearing my voice that makes you so excited. So I’ll take a quick guess and say it’s the fact that you’ve heard I work in the company now?”, he said as a matter of fact. “Of course I’m glad to hear your voice but don’t you think it’s absolutely great news that you’ve found your place in the company?”, she said way too excited. “I know it’s great news for you and yes I think I’m finally fit for dad”, he muttered happily. “You’ve always been good for him son, I’ve told you not to think otherwise and just sit back while I give you what you deserve”, she said with all certainty. “Don’t do anything stupid mom, I had to live with the pain of what you did to his mom for so long and I wouldn’t want that anymore”, he spoke out cle
“You don’t wanna see me around too? You're frowning like you’ve just seen an old enemy”, Jothan said coming out of Damon’s office. “Oh no I’m sorry about that I just thought of something”, I lied. “Really?! Your thoughts have perfect timing you know”, jothan said with a laugh as he tried to forget his discussion with Damon and return back to being the fun free jothan he is. “Yeah, I’m sorry about that”, I said laughing too. “So can I ask for your help”, he asked, making me think it had connections to whatever his mom is planning. “What kind of help”, I asked almost immediately. “Don’t be scared, it’s not that serious”, he said smiling. “I’m not scared, just wondering what kind of help I can render to you”, I explained. “Well before I ask for your help, I want to know for certain that you are not scared of me and you don’t think I’m like my mom?”, he questioned. “Hmm no I’m not thinking such”, I lied, faking a smile. “How were you able to fool damon? It’s so obvious yo
