MEGAN’S POV.

Stepping out of the bathroom I strode closer to the mirror, pulled the dryer from it's usual spot and began to dry my hair.

“Huff” I scoffed inwardly, even though I was the only one in the room.

This has basically been my daily routine since I moved out of my father's house and got a job at one of the biggest companies here in New York.

I inhaled slightly, feeling a bit reluctant to go to work today, but of course I can't quit something I just started.

The stress, that came from the work and how that annoying boss Khalid treated me was enough to drain all the energy in a soul.

I reached out for my body lotion and started applying it on my skin, but I stopped slowly, staring at the reflection of myself on the mirror.

Damn!! I could swear that I was really beautiful, only the heavens knows why my boss has been treating me like trash, with all the advances I made towards him.

I was soon done with applying my lotion, I packed my hair into a messy bun while some strands fell freely down my forehead, taking a seat at my chest.

My eyes tilted to the clock and I was met with the shock of my life, it was past 8 already. What the fuck did I do with the time that just flew.

I hurriedly fixed myself into the clothes I earlier arranged on the bed, and without buckling my shoe, I stormed out of my compartment.

While descending the spacious stairs with my bags and shoes in my hands, I spotted Ashley who was my friend.

She was coming out of the kitchen with a tray that contained varieties of foods that my stomach grumbled almost immediately.

I knew it was yearning for a bit but I didn’t want to do anything that would trigger Khalid’s hatred for me, I was okay dealing with the rejection, but I won’t have a place to go to if I eventually get sacked.

“Be careful with the stairs young lady.” Ashley’s mocking voice dominated the room with a slight chuckle which accompanied her words.

I ignored her, rolling my eyes balls at her casually.

Trust me, she was the least of my worries.

“You might get another round of rejection, if you look this tattered to the office, you know,” She further teased and that was the height of it all.

“Oh fuck Ashley, can you stop being a snitch.” I cursed and rolled my eyeballs at her, this time I was already making it through the exit door and she chuckled slightly.

“Okay ma’am, but you should at least eat something, it’s not the poor foods fault that you get rejected everyday.” She sniffed them out with a grin on her face and I shot her a dagger stare.

I was surely going to deal with her, but it was definitely not going to be that moment.

I would better attend to my job, or watch my job attend to me in the most horrific way.

“Stay calm today, bestie, do not go tripping again.” Her voice follows me out of the house and I gritted my teeth.

Damn that lady!!

I walked out of house to the parking lot, slipped into my car and revved the engines to life.

My name was Megan Zaron, the daughter of the most prominent CEO of the fashion Industry.

I'm 22, years of age, average in height, blonde hair color lady, white pale skin, slim, baby heart lips with a pair of unique golden eyes that could get any man tripping, aside from my boss Khalid.

I recently got into a fight with my father and that sent me packing out.

So I was currently living with my best friend Ashley.

I recently secured a job with one of the biggest companies here in New York and I've been working as the secretary to the CEO.

My heart fluttered the moment his thought crossed my mind, but not for long before my heart sank deeply.

Ever since I got to the Drivo company, I've felt this strange bond drawing me to the CEO, it was a thing I had never felt before.

My heart constantly yearned for him, and my body ached to feel his embrace. There was absolutely something that kept drawing me to him, and it was strange. But my boss was an introvert, and I've barely heard him spoke more than twice.

My heart ached knowing that I've never felt this way for someone, and now that I do, it suddenly looked like a mistake.

But I was trying, trying really hard to stay away from him, but nothing seemed to be working.

The drive to the company was a bit long, probably because I was not focused.

I finally pulled into the company's compound, parked my car at the usual spot, alighted, and began to walk my way to the company through the entrance door.

I took the elevator and in no time I was standing at the front of my office.

I twitched the hand of the door and stepped into my enormous office.

I quickly arranged all my files on the glass table, there was really no need for me to clean it, the cleaner had done her job.

I plucked myself hard into my seater, swinging myself left and right with the thoughts of Khalid on my mind. I really wished there was a way I could get rid of all those thoughts on my mind, but I couldn’t dare to quit this handsome paying job because of his rejection.

I turned back to my computer and began to fix all his schedules in the system before sending them to him.

It's been an hour since I came in and I haven't seen my boss and it became perturbing.

He never stayed this long before coming to the office, and neither does he come earlier than I do.

The thought that something bad might have happened to him nagged at me, and I felt my heart miss a bit.

With loads of questions hitting hard at me, I immediately gulped down the sudden lumps that formed in my throat.

‘Calm down.’ I whispered to myself, placing my head on the top of my chair and letting my mind out of those thoughts.

It was already lunchtime, and I still haven't heard anything from him, I quickly picked up my phone and began to dial his number, only to hear it ring in his office.

“Hello.” His deep husky voice tore through the phone and I felt my heart melt.

“I was worried___” I tried to explain why I called, but as always he would never let me speak.

“I will call you when I need you,” He whispered, those words barely left the walls of his lips when he hung up immediately.

I felt a sharp pain across my chest, I gulped down nothing and slipped the phone into my bag, but I was just too stubborn to listen.

I stood up and advanced towards his office door.

I placed a knock on his door, and he commanded me to walk in.

I grinned slightly and adjusted my boobs, before walking in majestically, with a touch of fear crawling in my heart.

“Good morning sir,” I greeted timidly, and he nodded.

Hmmm... He hasn't quite been a jerk.

“ I've been so worried about you. I thought something bad happened to you.” I explained and he inhaled deeply before raising his gaze to meet mine, for the first time since I stepped into his office.

My heart raised, and pleasure gripped me as his pair of unique red eyes fell on my body, my heart fluttered at the sight of how cute he was.

The man in front of me was the pure definition of striking. He was really different from every other man I've laid my golden eyes on, from his look to his personality.

He has this perfect Revan hair that was packed in three styles, the middle part was packed In a ponytail, the lower part fell freely off his back, and some nice quantity of strands that fell freely off his forehead and seated perfectly on his chest.

He was seated there in a piece of two black suit that revealed enough quantity of his ripped muscle.

Even without touching, one could easily tell that those chests of his were hard as a wall.

I felt my breath hitched the moment his pair of red blazing eyes pierced deeply into mine, and I suddenly felt the whole room was hot.

The air conditioner was on, yet I still felt hot. I could swear that this was the longest eye contact I'd ever had with him.

“I'm doing fine, thank you.” His deep voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

I bit on my lower lips trying really hard not to let the waves of undying pleasure to draw me closer than I already was to him.

“Oh okay, sir, do you need anything?” I inquired and he shook his head.

He was back to being cold.

“Are you okay sir, is there something I can get for you?” I inquired again and I could feel his temper raised, but it was clear that he was trying to calm his nerves.

“I'm okay Megan.” I finally heard him call my name for the first time since I started working with him, I thought he had no clue about my name.

I turned to leave but halted my step again, I didn't know what was happening to him, and I was not comfortable seeing him this way, so I turned again.

“Talk to me boss, are you sure you.....” I tried to explain but he cut me short.

“I told you to stay away from me Megan, I will request for you when I need you, is that so hard to understand,” He yelled, banging his hands hard on his desk, and I flinched in shock.

I felt my heart clutched as his dominating voice clouded the office, my heart twitched and my eyes watered instantly.

“Just leave.” He breathed out again and his eyes were red and heavy.

I stormed out of his office and out of the company to an unknown destination with my eyes heavy in tears.
