2022-11-30 23:10:55“Angela? Angie? Angela, are you planning on getting up anytime soon” Angela yawned lazily as she turned to put her alarm on snooze yet again
“Angela, aren’t you going to get up?” Jane asked
“What time is it?” Angela mumbled sleepily
“It’s six a.m….”
“Six a.m?” Angela yelled as she jumped off the bed and flew to the bathroom “why didn’t you wake me up Jane?”
“Your alarm’s been going off for thirty minutes now, I thought you’d be awake by now”
Angela flew to the small adjoining bathroom that connected her and Jane’s room as she hurriedly took a shower while brushing her teeth at the same time. She had done it again, why couldn’t she just be organized for once in her life, it’s such an irony that she got a job as an assistant because assistants are supposed to be organized.
She was out of the bathroom in less than four minutes as she hurriedly got dressed. Jane came into the room and Angela saw that she was already done dressing, she was even about to leave the house. ‘She’s more suited for the role of assistant than I am’ Angela thought as she looked Jane over.
Jane was a tall, pleasingly plump young lady of twenty five years, she had green eyes with long gorgeous brown hair that was always shining for some reason, she had an aura that commanded power and respect, anywhere she went, people automatically want to please her, she was bright, smart, cheerful and very friendly with a figure to die for.
She had on a pair of blue jeans with a white camisole and red blazers and she looked stunning with her black hair in a tight ponytail and there was a touch of light makeup on her face.
“Angela, I’m leaving. What time would you get off work?” Angela zoned out for a moment as she had no idea, she had forgotten to ask Tristan about her closing time.
“Shit! I’m sorry Jane, I didn’t ask. But I’ll be sure to text you as soon as I find out. You look great by the way.”
“Thanks.” Jane said as she checked herself out one more time “what are you wearing by the way?”
Angela shrugged and pointed out what she’ll be wearing “just my LBD and black cuissardes with a black blazer”
“The body con dress?”
“Yeah” Angela answered
“Ooh, Angie, are you planning to seduce your boss on your first day of work?” Jane asked with a sly smile
“Absolutely not, that man is the devil himself. Does he even has human feelings?” Jane laughed long and hard over this
“I should go, so I won’t be late. See you later, love you. Remember to text me”
“I will. Love you too” Jane left and Angela got dressed quickly, when she was done, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, her hair was a mess. She hated her hair, it was like a sponge over her head. She tied it up in a very messy bun and stared at her reflection again
Angela was a very gorgeous lady of an average height, her lips were red not pink and she had a smile that could melt even the coldest heart, her brown eyes were warm and showed tenderness, she was slim and her long legs were one of a kind and she often enjoyed showing it off. The only problem is her hair, her sun it was always a pain in the ass for her, it’s damaged and the split ends are straight from hell, it was giving her a headache.
**********
Angela’s POVI walked to the bus stop and waited, I took one more glance at the time on my phone and gasped 6:50 I’m fifty minutes late on my first day, I’m not so sure Tristan would be happy about this . Just then, a sleek, white limousine parked in front of me and I was confused until the window at the back rolled down and I saw Tristan’s angry face
“You’re late!” He growled and I began to stammer
“I’m…. I’m really sorry, I….er…. I had a bit of an emer…..gency and…..”
“Just get in” He yelled and I stood in front of the door pulling and pulling the handle but it wouldn’t budge
“Stop, just stop!” He yelled and a chauffeur came to open the door for me. “Thanks” I said and gave him a smile and he nodded
I sat in the limousine and looked around in awe, the leather chairs were so soft and comfy, I could sleep in it, there was a flat screen TV, a world class stereo system, a….. I came face to face with Tristan and I cleared my throat
“Um, good morning Mr Perry” I said nervously
“I asked you to get to work by six a.m Miss Cameron” he said coldly
“Yeah, I know but I had an….”
“What’s my schedule for today?” He interrupted harshly and Angela was lost, she knew Assistants were supposed to have their boss’s schedule because she read about it online, but Tristan didn’t share his calendar with her and this job was gotten in such a rush that everything was just happening so fast
“Um…. I don’t have it?” I replied shakily and his blue eyes became bluer which by the way, I’ve never noticed how gorgeous they were. Come to think of it, I’ve never really looked at Tristan, the man was beautiful. His brown hair was perfectly combed, his bearded face was perfectly outlined, he had a chiseled nose and well defined cheekbones, with perfect lips. He looked like a prince straight out of a fairytale, too bad he always had a scowl on his face.
“What do you mean by you don’t have it?” He snapped, jolting me out of my thoughts
“You didn’t….”
“Do you even know anything about being an assistant?”
“Yeah, but….”
“I don’t think you know how this job works. What the hell am I supposed to do this morning? Just sit in my office all day and stare at space…?” He kept on ranting and I could feel my temper rising, this man was rude, very rude and arrogant, he didn’t even let me finish a sentence before cutting me off. I’ve had enough of his disgusting attitude
“Shut up!” I yelled and he stared at me in surprise
“What the fuck did you just say to me?”
“Sorry, that came out wrong, what I meant to say was please keep quiet.” I met his burning gaze but managed not to squirm under it “look Mr Perry, I know you plan to make me miserable and all, but don’t you think it’s way too early to start yelling at me, you’re as much to blame as I am in this. You gave me a job outside my qualifications, you didn’t share your calendar with me, you just expect me to miraculously have it? What do you take me for, a computer? Even computer needs programming to enable it carry out the instructions you give it. So please sir, can you kindly forward me your calendar and all your agenda so I can arrange them for you?”
He stared at me for a long while with disbelief on his face and without saying a single word, he turned to his phone. The rest of the drive was very quiet.

Tristan stared at the lady walking ahead of him. Such audacity she had, no one in his life had ever spoken to him in such a way, she even had the guts to tell him to shut up and then used her smart mouth to belittle him. He had promised to make her miserable, he was going to make her so miserable to the point where she learns to tame her mouth. He walked to the secretary and signed in and she did the same. “Good morning Mr Perry” his secretary greeted him warmly but he didn’t respond, he was in a terrible mood this morning “Good morning, my name is Angela” he heard her say to the secretary in that her annoyingly gentle voice and it made him angrier. He turned to her.“What is this? An introduction? This isn’t your office, so why are you introducing yourself?” He saw a confused look cross her face and he smirked “But I thought….”“Well, you thought wrong. Your office is upstairs, just outside my office” he said and began heading to the elevator with her following him. They entered t

Angela stared at her plate in horror. She was fighting the urge not to throw up, she had never been in a fancy restaurant before and she didn't even know what kind of food she was being served. It looked strange, mushy and sick. She looked at Tristan who was chowing down on his equally disgusting-looking food while she kept pushing the food around pretending to eat it. Why on earth would Tristan even order for her and what was it he called the food? ‘The special?’ what's so special about this? It looked like somebody vomited onto her plate. She glanced around uncomfortably, it was like everyone can see through her because people were giving her weird looks. It’s like they were judging her with their eyes.Tristan had an amused expression on his face as he stole glances at her squirming uncomfortably.“What's wrong miss Cameron,” he asked with a mocking smile…Angela's POV Oh, I so hated this guy, I wanted to slap that stupid smirk off his stupid face. Who does he think he is?“Nothi

“I swear to you Jane, he really did. It's so confusing, you know. One minute he's cool, the next minute, he's a pain in the ass”Jane stared at his picture again and bit her lower lip “he is very hot though” Angela rolled her eyes “That's really not the point” “Seriously Angie, what if he likes you? Rumor has it that he’s never been in a relationship” Angela burst into laughter “Yeah right. I bet he's so crazy about me, you know, that’s probably why he yells at me and embarrass me at any little chance he gets. By the way, I’m not surprised about him not ever having a relationship, who would date a guy like that? His manners are disgusting”“He took you to his HOUSE! Don’t you get it? This guy never brings anybody to his house except his family, not even his close friends”Angela shrugged “he probably felt bad about what he said and wanted to make up for it”“I bet you, you would end up falling for him. It’ll be like those workplace romance” Jane said as she was already imagining i

The door to Tristan’s office opened and Ivy jumped up, pushed past the people that were coming out and marched straight to Tristan’s table. She slammed her bag on his table and pointed to me furiously. “I want her fired!” she yelled and Tristan raised a brow“Oh?”“Oh? Is that all you have to say, Tristan? This girl here was just rude to me. She insulted me”“Well, that doesn't sound unlikely. I know she's rude but I'm not so sure about the insult part. I did hear you screaming though, do you know you were being way too loud and disturbing my meeting?”Ivy pouted and crossed her arms, her loud voice suddenly becoming gentle “it's her fault. She was just giving me this wild attitude”Tristan turned to me “Miss Cameron, what happened?” I told him everything including the part about her threatening me “I don't know why I should be feeling unsafe at work because of your guests….” I deliberately let my voice break to sound as if I was about to cry and I could have sworn I saw a look of

The meeting ended an hour after midnight and Tristan and Angela were so exhausted. On their way back to the hotel, Tristan asked Angela if she would love to go grab a drink and she agreed. They went to their suite to get changed and Angela was surprised to see that there were some clothes for her on the bed with a note that read ‘hope you like it. Tristan’ She picked up the clothes and inspected them, there was a blue, glittery, strapless short dress with matching pair of boots and a gorgeous black jumpsuit. She wore the blue dress, applied some lipgloss and luckily for her, her hair still looked okay, she patted it and headed out. Tristan was waiting for her at the reception, when he looked up, his eyes sparkled and he gave a warm smile as he looked her over. It was the first time he smiled at her, he usually only smirks and he looked so handsome when he smiles.“Wow, you look stunning.”“Thanks. How did you know what size of clothes to get me?” she asked curiously and he smiled ag

She went downstairs and met Tristan in the lobby, he was on a call, he sounded very pissed and his face was red with anger“I need you to get rid of it NOW! What do you mean you can't do it now…? Do you love your job and do you want to KEEP your job…? Then I suggest you remove it right now! Don't tell me that shit!” Angela's phone began to ring again, she checked and saw it was Jane but just as she was about to answer it, Tristan spoke to her “Don't answer that!” She looked up at him confused “why?”“Trust me, you don't need to answer it” he screamed into his phone again “I don't have ten minutes to spare, I WANT IT DONE NOW!” Angela stared at her phone screen till it stopped ringing. She was about to put the phone back in her purse when it began to buzz consistently, notification after notification kept popping up and she was confused. She was about to unlock her phone to check it when Tristan spoke to her again “Don't check those” Now she was really confused, why would he tel

“Hello? I’m here…” she said and checked her phone again. The text said ‘I have information about what happened last night. Meet me by the docks’ Even though she had a bad feeling about the whole thing, she decided to go anyway. She suddenly heard the clicking of heels behind her and turned. She gasped and growled when she saw who it was “Ivy?” “Yep, it’s me,” Ivy said as she sashayed over to her “surprised to see me?” “After what you did? I’m surprised you still have the guts to show your face to me” Ivy smirked “so you figured out it’s me. You’re smart, but not smart enough”“What do you want?”“To make you suffer”“Why? What did I ever do to you?” Ivy scoffed “so you don’t know?”“Why does everybody keeps saying this? Of course, I don’t know. If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking”“Tristan likes you!”Her eyes widened at the statement and she burst into laughter “no he doesn't”“Yes, he does. Don’t think I don’t know about the way he looks at you, he has never looked at me like no ma

“Welcome to my house again Miss Cameron”“Thank you, sir,” she said with a smile “Eric will show you to your room. Eric?” he signalled for the butler she met the other day. He came to help me with her bags and led her upstairs “This way Miss” Eric said as he led her up the stairs and to the room. She gasped in awe as she stared at the room, it was so enormous with a queen-sized bed with lots of pillows and the softest looking silk bedsheet in the centre of the room, there was a study table with a laptop on it and a chair in a corner, three beautiful lamps, a silver chandelier, silver curtains to cover the two huge windows.“Thank you, Eric”“You’re welcome, miss. Dinner is in two hours”“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind”He left and Angela crashed on the soft bed, the bed sunk with her in it as she closed her eyes while allowing the previous day's event to play in her head.**********“Are you gonna be okay?” Jane asked with a concerned look on her face.

The Billionaire’s Assistant Epilogue
THREE MONTHS LATERShe stared at her reflection in the mirror, and a satisfied smile crept up her lips.Today was the most important day of her life. Her wedding day!She closed her eyes and let her mind drift to the day Tristan proposed to her two months ago.***************It was another cold day, as usual. It was a work day, but instead of going to work, Tristan had insisted they go to the same restaurant they went on her first day of working with him, and that they bring Zoe.She didn't understand why Tristan would choose to go to a restaurant instead of work and what was even more strange was that he insisted that he wanted to drive. He usually lets his driver do the driving, so she found it strange.After making sure that Zoe was seated and buckled in with the seatbelt, she sat in the passengers seat in front and Tristan got behind the wheel. As he adjusted the rear-view mirror, he winked at Zoe, who giggled and bounced happily in the back, the entire ride.All efforts to calm

“I'm telling you, Tristan, it's that bad.”She said to Tristan over Facetime.He had called her by eight pm New Zealand Standard Time and she was telling him how things were with Zoe.She couldn't bring herself to sleep on the mattress, so, after tucking Zoe in and making sure she was asleep, she went to the living room and lay on the couch instead. “And get this, turns out she's been living here using my name.”“Are you serious?” He asked, the shock on his face mirroring hers.“I am. Her neighbour called me Angela, and I found these fake documents and ID's inside the kitchen closet. It all had my name. None of it has her name. It's creepy.”“So, her daughter doesn't know her real name either?”“She doesn't. Apparently, she's been living a lie for seven years. As crazy as it is, it did give me an idea.” She replied with a faraway look in her eyes.“What idea?” Tristan asked with raised eyebrows. She smiled at him as she answered, “You know how she told me not to ever let her daught

The twenty-one-hour flight took it’s toll on her. Even though there had been two stops along the way, she was exhausted and sick by the time she got to New Zealand. She had also bought some things for Zoe as a way to earn her trust.Tristan called to check on her three times, and he sounded better. At least that's an improvement.She stopped a taxi and gave the driver the address Annabelle gave her. It was almost an hour drive from the airport and along the way, she kept wondering what she would tell Zoe. Where would she say her mother was? And how would she explain that she was her aunt? Because she was pretty sure Annabelle never mentioned her to Zoe.She was so lost in thought, she didn't realize they were already at her destination. The driver had to honk the car horn to snap her out of her thoughts.“We're here.” He announced after getting her attention.“Oh. Thank you.” She answered as she paid him. He helped her offload her luggage and then, he drove off.Angela stared at the

Tristan, Taylor and Angela arrived at the hospital to find a panic-stricken, worn out Tessa, pacing around. Her arm was bandaged too.“What happened? Where's mum?” Tristan asked, trying to rush into the emergency ward, but was stopped by Tessa.“Tristan, you can't go in there yet. Please, calm down.”“What exactly happened, Tessa?” Angela asked.“Yeah, how did she get shot.” Taylor added.“She went to confront Amy and we were on our way back when our car was ambushed and some men wearing masks surrounded us. They killed the driver and shot mum in the chest through the windscreen. They shot at me too, but it missed narrowly, and my arm got hit instead. They took off immediately and that's when I called the ambulance.”“How is she? Will she make it?” Tristan asked with wide-eyes. Tessa looked dismayed as she averted her gaze. Tristan was about to say something when Tessa's husband Connor came rushing in.“Honey,” he exclaimed as he rushed towards her. He hugged her, then he examined he

The car came to a halt in front of the Perry's grand mansion. Marie stepped out first, not waiting for the driver to open the door for them.Her eyes was red and her complexion was pale. She stormed out of the car and marched furiously inside the house, ignoring her children completely.“Mum, are you okay? What happened?” Tessa asked, trying to block her path. But, one glare from Marie, made her move. She rushed towards Tristan, who was being helped out of the car by Angela and Alan.“What's wrong with mum? She looks ready to murder someone.” She asked Tristan, who exchanged a glance with Angela.“What does that look mean? What's happening?” She asked in alarm.“Is father home?” Tristan asked.“Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question. Why is mum so furious?” She asked again, visibly frustrated that no one was answering her question.“Where is he?” Tristan asked again.“In his study. For God's sake, why isn't anyone answering the damn question? What happened to mum?” she yelled.Just

She sat in front of a tiny glass window in a cubicle, tapping her fingers nervously on the table and lost in thought.It's been three days since she was discharged from the hospital and she had been putting off the idea of seeing her sister in prison till she couldn't anymore.She had to gather up all her courage to come here, concluding that Annabelle could not hurt her again as she was already behind bars.Now, sitting here, all that courage seemed to have faltered and she wondered if it was too late to leave. Just then, she looked up and her whole body tensed as she saw a haggard-looking Annabelle in cuffs, being escorted by a police officer. The officer removed the cuffs from her wrists and she slumped to the chair. Angela inhaled and tried to calm her nerves and her shaking hands as she picked up the phone in front of her. Annabelle did the same and for a few seconds, neither of them said a word to each other. They just stared, with the phone in their ears and different though

She remained silent, just staring blankly, throat dry, heart pounding until Tristan felt the need to speak.“Angela, please say something.”She finally focused her gaze on him, as the blank stare left her face. “Where is she?” she asked.“Detained,” Tristan answered.“Angie, she wants to see you,” Jane said, looking worried. Angela shifted her gaze to Jane as seven of the coldest words she had ever said, fell out of her mouth.“I have nothing to say to her!”“She's still your sister…” Tristan was saying, but she cut him short.“Was my sister! Now, I have no sister. I remember everything she did to me, including hiring those two men to beat me up. I was pregnant! And she knew it. You know what they said to me? They told me that she said they should get rid of it by any means necessary. She's the reason all this is happening. She could have killed you too, Tristan. And you say she's my sister? No, if she were my sister, she would never have done all that to me.”She yelled, angry tears

Her head was hurting so she once again thought she was hallucinating. Even though she just heard his voice, she couldn't bring herself to believe he was looking at her and talking to her. He was in a coma, so how was he doing any of that?“Are you okay?” he asked, startling her.“Y—you. You're awake?”“Surprised?” he asked with a smile.“I am. The doctor said it would probably take at least a month before you woke up.” Her face twisted in horror as she said, “Oh no, don't tell me I was unconscious for a month!” Tristan chuckled as he responded, “No, you weren't unconscious for a month, you were unconscious for a week.”“A week?” Angela asked as her face paled in horror. “Why? What happened?”“According to the doctor, when you fell, you hit your head pretty bad and since you already had a brain injury, it triggered something. But do you feel okay now? Did you forget anything?”She raked her brain, trying to figure out if she forgot anything, but she couldn't think of anything she mig
