Andrea's POV

We’re here now in the dining area, having dinner. We were discussing Jessica’s transfer to our company. I don’t want her there, but there’s nothing I can do about it. When Dad makes a decision, it’s final. I have to pretend that I’m happy even though, in truth, I’m deeply frustrated.

"When is Jessica transferring to the company? And why isn’t she here now?" Dad asked.

"I called her earlier, Dad. She said she couldn’t make it because she and George had plans. I didn’t ask where they were going. Also, she’ll start next Monday. George asked for at least two weeks so Jessica could properly finish her pending work. And as a boss, I understand him, so I agreed," I replied.

"Why didn’t you make her transfer right away!?" Dad demanded.

"George requested it, Dad. He wanted Jessica to have enough time to wrap up her work. And since I’m a boss too, I respected his request," I explained.

"Hmmm..."

Thankfully, Dad didn’t push the matter further. The truth is, I was the one who suggest

    Nick's POVShit! Sir, aahhh! Aaahh! It's so hot. Aaahh, please go slower. Aahh aahh. It hurts, wait, Sir. Stop!!!I suddenly slammed on the brakes of my car because of my secretary's scream. My eyes widened as I looked at her. I couldn’t believe she just yelled at me. I shot her a sharp glare."Sorry, Sir, but I got burned. The coffee I was holding spilled on my leg, and it’s really hot. Also, you're driving too fast," she explained while wiping her wet skirt.I didn’t know why my body suddenly heated up, was it because of the way she reacted earlier, as if she was moaning, or because I saw her fair legs?"Fix yourself! So careless," I said angrily before stepping out of the car to get some air. I loosened my necktie while waiting for my secretary to finish fixing herself. This was the first time I had been affected because of my secretary. I didn’t know why. I hate female secretaries, and I have my reasons. That’s why almost all of my secretaries are men. I don’t trust female secreta

    Jessica’s POVI feel like my chest is going to explode with frustration. Just a little more, and I might end up yelling at this arrogant man. Just because you're my boss doesn't mean you can treat me like this. Excuse me, you are not my boss! I muttered to myself. Ugh, this infuriating man.If Sir George hadn’t asked me, I would have never agreed to be your temporary secretary. Deep breaths, Jessica. You can do this. It’s just three days, and after that, I won’t have to see this man's face again. But wait, why did he even agree to have me as his temporary secretary if he doesn’t trust me at all? I was already briefed about his attitude, but I didn’t expect it to be this bad.I quietly stared out the window as we traveled. I didn’t even realize I had fallen asleep."Wake up! Get the bags!"I was startled awake by a loud voice and the sound of a car door slamming shut.“Oh, crap! I’m dead meat again with this guy who has worse mood swings than a woman on her period. Seriously.”I hurrie

    Nick's POVI was still focused on my laptop when I heard the doorbell ring."Steak, beetroot, horseradish & warm lentil salad with Cabernet Sauvignon wine for Mr. Nicholas Ford, requested by Miss Jessica Laviste."My stomach growled the moment I saw the food. I had forgotten to order.I went straight to eat after the waiter left. I couldn't help but smile. Despite my temporary secretary's nonstop chatter and occasional mistakes, she was thoughtful.I almost choked on my food when I suddenly remembered how she looked earlier when her hand accidentally hit me. She jumped as if she had stepped on a sea urchin. And her sleepwear,. loose t-shirts and loose pajama pants.I must admit, she is beautiful. Beyond beautiful. And she has a sexy body. Wait, what? Am I praising her? No, no, no. Those qualities are perfect for a seductive secretary, and I must not fall victim. Never!I forced myself to push away any good thoughts I had about Jessica. I needed to stay focused. This project is crucial

    Jessica’s POVI nervously followed behind Sir Nick. My sister, Andrea, saw me. I'm in trouble. I thought she was in Europe for a business meeting. Dad doesn’t even know that I’m working for George, let alone for Nicholas. Our family and Nick’s family are in the same line of business.Yes, I am not a typical secretary. I am the daughter of Elmer Laviste and Matilda Laviste, the owners of Laviste Land Inc. My sister, Andrea Laviste, is a sharp businesswoman and the reason our company has grown even more. They never let me handle our company because they want me to focus on painting and the arts. To them, I am weak and not good at business, so they entrusted it all to my sister, Andrea.What they don’t know is that I’ve been working for George for almost a year now. I wanted to surprise them. I wanted to prove that I also have value in business, that I can help them, and that they can rely on me.I paced back and forth inside my room. I couldn’t stay still. What should I do? Dad might fi

    Andrea's POV"Yes, were you able to get it? I need that copy tomorrow. I want it to be clear and concise as usual. Please finish it ASAP." I put down my phone. I pursed my lips and took a sip of wine. "One down, and you are mine." I feel so happy right now.But that happiness quickly turned into annoyance when I remembered my sister. I can't help but feel jealous. She's always so close to Nick. I'm willing to be his secretary just to be near him. I've been with other men, trying to move on from him, but I always come back to Nick. His kiss is different. His touch and caress are different. I search for it in other men, but I can never find it. Only Nick made me feel that way. "Oh, Nick, I miss you. You will come back to me, Nick. I swear." I went upstairs to eat. As I was about to enter the restaurant, I saw Nick and Jessica talking seriously while eating. They didn’t look like they were on a date, but my heart burned with anger and jealousy. I faked a smile before approaching them.

    Jessica’s POVI was the first to enter the hotel room and went straight to my room. I didn’t know why my face felt so hot. Was it because I was embarrassed earlier since we were with company? Or was it because of what Sir Nick said. That I was more beautiful than my sister? Wait, wait… Why am I affected by what he said? Why does my heart feel happy because of it?"Erase, erase, Jessica. You shouldn’t feel this way. He is the man your sister loves. What you need to do is avoid him," I scolded myself.I saw how my sister, Andrea, looked at Sir Nick. I never expected her to love someone like this. Even though he’s a womanizer, she’s still willing to accept him. I knew she was hurt by what Sir Nick did earlier, but I couldn’t even comfort her because I was afraid we’d get caught.Ugh, I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m so confused. What if Sir Nick finds out that Sis Andrea is my sister? Ahh, I’m doomed!"Inhale, exhale! Two days to go, and you’re done. You won’t see Sir Nick anymore. A

    Gala Night - Corporate SoiréeJessica’s POVAfter the presentation earlier, Nick and I went up to our hotel room because there was a party happening later that night. This was the closing event for the conference.I couldn’t sit still because I didn’t have a dress for the party. I had no idea that Sir Nick would be bringing me along. No matter how hard I tried to pick from the clothes that I brought, nothing seemed appropriate for the occasion."I’ll just say I have a stomachache so he won’t take me," I whispered to myself.I was startled when someone suddenly knocked on my door. I quickly opened it. It was Sir Nick "I asked someone to bring different dresses for you for tonight. You can choose anything that suits you," he said.I hurried outside and was stunned to see a variety of dresses laid out before me. I was still in shock, overwhelmed by the number of options, when Sir Nick spoke again."This will be the last day you’ll work for me. So give it your best shot."I don’t know wh

    Nick’s POV I noticed some commotion near the buffet area, and I saw that Jessica seemed to be involved. I walked toward them, and my ears burned when I heard what a woman was saying. I was about to approach in anger, but then I stopped and smiled. Jessica didn’t need me. She could defend herself. That only, made me admire her more. I watched as she walked out like a model, but the moment she neared the door, she suddenly picked up her pace as if she were running away from a dog. I smiled even more. "She is so cute," I whispered to myself. I was about to follow her when someone suddenly blocked my path. "Nick! You look dashing tonight. I wasn’t able to congratulate you earlier.. It was a fabulous presentation," Andrea said enthusiastically. "Thank you! Please excuse me," I said hurriedly, trying to leave. "Nick! Are you avoiding me?" she asked, her voice trembling as she grabbed my arm. "I know Jessica is not your girlfriend. I know you only did that to hurt me. I know what we

    Jessica's POVI was surprised by Sophia’s reaction earlier about Joseph.I can’t forget Joseph because he was the first person to discover my talent for painting. I wasn’t planning to sell my painting back then because I was shy, but he assured me that my work was exquisite. I couldn’t refuse anymore. When he handed me the check, I was shocked because the amount he paid for my painting was so large. From then on, my confidence grew, and I became more dedicated to improving my art."You are a painter?" Sir Nick asked."Yeah, I know how to paint… Just a hobby," I replied humbly."I see…"He didn’t ask any more questions and just quietly stared at the fire, seemingly deep in thought.The heat coming from the fire gave me a strange feeling. The weather was perfect. There were so many stars sparkling in the sky. The sea of clouds at night was so magnificent. If you focused your vision on the clouds, you’d feel like you were flying. I couldn’t believe that a place like this existed in this

    George's POVI was busy taking an important call earlier when I noticed that Jessica was missing. I walked around several times, but I couldn’t find her, so I started to worry.When I saw her wiping and cleaning Nick's back, I got a bit curious. The atmosphere between them was quite different . I can't explain it.I also noticed that Jessica’s face was blushing earlier. Well… I was just thinking maybe it’s because she was feeling hot. Jessica is a mestiza, so her skin turns red easily with just a bit of heat.Earlier, I also noticed that Jessica seemed annoyed with Nick, so I was wondering why she was cleaning his back."Do you like it here, Jes?" I asked her while we were preparing the barbecue."Yes… it's beautiful… It's like paradise, you know? You feel one with nature. It’s refreshing. By the way, do you and Sir Nick come here often?" she asked."This is my third time coming here. I really love visiting this place. But it looks even more beautiful now. They’ve improved it a lot,"

    Jessica's POV I can't help but admire the beauty of nature. Although the hike was tiring, it was truly worth it. Seeing the beautiful view in front of me makes all my problems fade away. It's like I'm in heaven because all I can see are clouds and the cool breeze.The hike wasn't difficult because there were railings placed along the way. You can also see that various trees were intentionally planted, which make the place even more beautiful.I savored the fresh air when I turned around and saw Sir Nick taking pictures. I noticed that his camera was pointed at me. I didn't want to assume he was taking a picture of me, so I just ignored it. "Jes, I'll just put your things in the other tent. You'll be sharing with Sophia later. Nick and I will be on the other side," said George.I didn't want to agree to share a tent with Sophia, but I had no choice. This camping site is so beautiful and fancy. When we arrived, the tents were already set up. The style was like capsules. George said th

    Nick's POVI purposely stopped the car at a 7-Eleven because George mentioned that Jessica hadn’t had breakfast yet. He probably forgot about it because he was busy joking around with Sophia. I don’t understand what I’m feeling right now. I’m happy yet somewhat sad. A whirlwind of emotions. When I saw her earlier sitting on the couch, busy with her phone, I couldn't help but admire her simple yet stunning beauty.She was wearing a long-sleeve tee, cargo pants, and sneakers. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail. She looked beautiful.As I walked toward her, I noticed some men staring at her. Indeed, she is a head-turner.When I suddenly spoke, I saw the surprise in her eyes. That was when I realized how long her eyelashes were and how beautiful her eyes looked as she gazed up at me. I paused for a moment. I felt butterflies in my stomach, but I quickly suppressed them. I ignored it. Falling for someone would only be an obstacle to my plans.While driving earlier, I secretly glanc

    Jessica's POV I couldn’t sit still while waiting for Sir Nicholas’ car. I don’t even know why I agreed to come with them. I was in the lobby of George’s office. He had something to sign, so he asked to be picked up here. He went upstairs while I waited. Sir Nicholas also offered that we just use one car. I was looking at my phone when someone suddenly spoke in front of me. "Are these all your stuff?"I looked up and saw Sir Nicholas standing in front of me. It took me a while to respond. Why am I only realizing now that Sir Nicholas has a different kind of charisma? Even though he was dressed simply, he still stood out. He was wearing a white tee with pants. He also had shades on, which suited him perfectly. He looked like a model towering over me. If I didn’t stand up soon, my neck would start to hurt because he was so tall. He must be around six feet, while I’m only 5’3". I tried to hide my nervousness. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Yes, that’s everything." I answered.

    Jessica’s POV As soon as I arrived at the office, I happily went straight to George’s office. "George! I miss you, I am so happy to see you," I greeted him cheerfully and hugged him. "Oh? So, you’re leaving me? After all the training I gave you, you’re just going to leave me like that? You just used me," he joked dramatically. My smile grew even wider. "You already know?" I asked excitedly. "Of course! I’m your boss. Your sister called me and said she wanted to transfer you to their company. Ha! She thought it would be that easy to take away one of my best employees," he said. "Ayiee…" I teased. "Thank you George for letting me use you," I said playfully and winked at him.He just laughed, then suddenly looked at me seriously. "I’m really happy because, finally, your dad has seen your efforts. I know how much you want to prove yourself to him. Just give it your best, and I know your dad will be proud of you," he said."I hope so… and thank you so much for always being

    Nick's POV"Sir, the CCTV footage from the hotel in B City that you requested has been sent to your email."I was in my office when Dominic, my assistant/secretary, handed me some documents to sign. After I signed them, he went back to work."Thank you, Dominic," I said as I returned the documents to him.For the past few days, I have been busy with work. Occasionally, I would remember Jessica, but I had more important things to focus on.I opened my email and started watching the CCTV videos from the hotel conference. I paused when I saw one particular video—Jessica was holding a flash drive. I replayed it several times. It was clear from the footage that she looked uneasy. I frowned. In another video, she took it to... Andrea’s room?My heart suddenly pounded faster."Am I right about Jessica? Is she a spy?" I muttered to myself.I carefully studied the videos over and over again, and there was only one conclusion. Jessica and Andrea knew each other.I felt my anger rise.So Jessica

    Chapter 10Jessica’s POV"Manang, has Daddy come home yet?" I asked one of our housemaids who had just brought me a snack."Not yet, Señorita," she replied.I simply nodded and continued painting. I still couldn't understand why they wouldn’t let me help with the family business. I went against their wishes to further hone my painting skills and studied business instead. Not to boast, but I know I'm already good at painting.Many people admire my artwork and want to get to know me, but I chose to remain a secret. I don’t know why,. I guess I’m just not ready to reveal myself to the world yet. Maybe it’s because I grew up always confined to my room, never allowed to come out during family occasions. Only a few people even know that Daddy has another child. I used to ask them why, and they always told me it was to keep me safe because the business world is dangerous. I understood their reasoning, especially since my grandfather was almost kidnapped before. Maybe that’s why they are so s
