The Devil's Secretary Chapter 10
Lillian There was no way I'd back down. One thing I hate is being aware of something bad and doing nothing about it. And now this jerk of a boss was too hard-headed to listen to opinions from others. I had to hold my breath as he cornered me. "You're saying that I made a mistake?" His voice was hoarse. I had to turn my face sideways or I would feel his breath on my face. "You're not Jesus, Mr Kent. So, yes you made a mistake". I told him.I could feel the anger emanating from him." If you'll just hear me out maybe you'll understand why you'll get rejected." I watched him grit his teeth, struggling to make a decision. "Fine, but if this proves to be a waste of time then you're fired ".I raised my chin, confident of what I was doing, or at least I thought so.He finally stepped away, returning to his desk. I could finally breathe properly. I cleared my throat, placing the iPad right in front of his face. " Well, the issue is your product is directed at the wrong audience

Lillian "Thanks for driving me !" I waved at Aiden. "I could wait till you're done getting ready and then drop you off ." He spoke, getting out of the car. "Oh...no, it's fine . You've done enough". He faked a frown. " You don't want to invite me in ?" "I don't want to take your time; it's still early . I'm sure you have other things to do ". If only he knew I wanted him gone because I was too ashamed of where I lived. I know I shouldn't be; some people were homeless, but still, this was my boss's brother. I didn't want him to think any less of me. He remained silent for a few seconds. " Alright, I'll take a ride and be back in an hour. How about that ?" I chuckled. At least I'll get to save money so why refuse the offer?" Alright then, see you in an hour". He nodded and drove off. I ran to my apartment hoping Jade hadn't gone to work yet. I missed her call yesterday because my phone was on silent. The door was open, indicating she was still in. I breathed in relief as

Lillian " Oh, it seems like your boss's brother is here ", Jade said, pulling us apart. My eyes darted to the clock on the wall. It wasn't even an hour yet, so why was he here so soon?" Oh shit, I haven't even had my bath yet!" Jade rolled her eyes "Relax, Lily, we are not even sure if it's him. It might be the neighbours or maybe someone else. I'll go check". She left the next second and was back in a jiffy. "It's Nico, he's here to pick me up. I'll see you later, Lily." She squealed.And just like that. She picked up her bag and exited the room. I didn't even get the chance to ask when she was moving out.Just then, my phone made a beep sound. I picked it up to see a text from the almighty Mr Stone's face. He was requesting that I dress properly for the conference at 3:00 p.m.I rolled my eyes; if the conference was at 3:00 p.m., then why did I have to go to work before 10. Considering that I had worked overnight. Sighing, I went into the bathroom to have a bath, after which I

Lillian."Mrs Ace, are you sure you have something suitable to wear?". He said taking a turn on 9th street. We were 10 minutes from where I lived." Well, yes ".He glanced at me and then back at the road ahead. " If this turns out to be a waste of time, I'm subtracting 20 dollars from your pay ". I swallowed." It's that black dress I wore on my second day ". The car immediately came to a halt and if I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, my head would have crashed on the glove box."Why did you stop so suddenly!". I shrieked in annoyance.He didn't even apologize; he just turned the car around and sped off."Where are you going now!" He remained silent. I finally snapped. " I hope you remain dumb forever". He finally turned in my direction, slowing down a little. His left brow was twitching indicating agitation."You are not dressing like a high school girl going clubbing to the conference !". I wanted to say something to counter his words, but I was at a loss. After a few minutes, we

Lillian" Mrs Ace ?" "Yes, Zayden ". I said wriggling my brows at him.You should see the expression on his face. I had to stifle my laughter, even his ears turned red. He cleared his throat. " What did you do with all that food? ". I wasn't expecting him to ask about that. "I've been munching on them little by little ". " All by yourself?" I nodded. " Yep, do you want some . I could get some for you, it's indirectly yours too ". He sighed. " We're here ". I then realized that we had arrived at the conference. I suddenly tensed. There were a lot of expensive-looking people and cameras and a long red carpet at the entrance. The flashlight was blinding "Umm, am I to wait here ?".He scoffed." Then why did you come in the first place ".I swallowed as I got out of the car. I was having cold feet. The air alone seemed intimidating. " Relax, all you have to do is nod and smile". He assured me. We began walking towards the entrance when we were stopped by a high-pitched voice.

Zayden Grabbing her hand, I dragged her forcefully away from that piece of trash. I despise her interactions with Aiden, it makes my blood boil. " Let go of me !" She tried freeing herself from my grip, but I wasn't going to stop till we were away from the crowd. I dragged her upstairs and onto the balcony of the hall.I finally let go of her hand, watching as she fumed."What is wrong with you !" She yelled freeing herself from my grip." I'm going to say this once ". I told her taking a step closer."Stay away from my brother !" She snorted." It's none of your business who I associate with ". I gritted my teeth." You are my secretary, not his; you are only allowed to spend nothing more than three minutes in his company". Crossing her hands over her chest, she flipped her hair over her shoulder." Care to explain why ?" "Because I said so !" She snickered, turning to leave." I'd rather keep company with someone who doesn't have anger issues"I grabbed her wrist, irritatio

LillianI walked into the massive building, careful not to let the mud on my shoes stain the sparkling white tiles. I received an email yesterday that I had passed the job interview so here I was on my first day as a secretary. Walking over to a lady behind the reception, I gave her a sweet smile. “ Umm, excuse me. I'm Lillian Ace ”. She grasped.“ Ohh, our new employee!”. I nodded, still smiling even though my lips hurt.“Give me a minute” she said then typed something on the computer before turning to face me again. She looked me up and down slowly with a smug smile on her face. I suddenly felt self-conscious. I was wearing a sunset yellow dress and a pair of white Stilettos. “ Is this how you dressed in your previous work?”. She snarled.My previous work was at a café, I wore jeans every single day, but I wasn't going to blurt that out. “Well, it's decent enough”. I retorted.She smacked her red painted lips shaking her head. “ Miss, we have a dress code here. All corporate we

LillianI followed them to the elevator looking like a puppy drenched in cold water. The receptionist whose name turned out to be Helena had been glaring daggers at me. I noticed that some buttons on her shirt had popped open. She had been arching her back, pushing up her already exposed boobs. Obviously, her squeaking like a church rat all the way to the elevator wasn't to annoy me but to impress her boss.Mr. Stone face hadn't even glanced at her the whole time. He had glanced at me once when I almost tripped and had to grab his hand for support. The look he gave me was enough to slit my throat. He was scary and cold. We entered his office which was grand and bigger than the apartment I lived in. “Get me my work file and the sketchbook”.He ordered. Helena stomped out of the office immediately leaving me and Stone face alone. He turned to face me, taking a step towards me. “ You will type out every single page until your fingers break, and then you'll print out each document a
