All Chapters of The Obstinate CEO Goes After the Stoic Secretary: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It's been three days since the night Fate received the offer from 'The Mask'. She spent those days just staring at the card she placed in the kitchen countertop, she hadn't even touched it again since and Rhine is just about to lose her patience. It's good that Fate hadn't touched a drop of alcohol since that night even when she received yet again another rejection from the companies she applied at, but the fact that all she did is stare at it all day isn't exactly helping either. When she arrived at Fate's apartment and saw her best friend staring at the card again as she sat on the sofa, she decided that something had to be done before it's too late. Without saying anything, Rhine went to the kitchen, took the card and was about to tear it in half. "No!" Fate exclaimed, running towards her friend to get the card from her. "What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Fate was horrified as she snatched and held the card protectively. "Oh so

If Fate was really going to be honest, she already made the decision about the job offer even before she went for the interview. It's not really about wanting it or deserving it, it's all about her needing it.Beggars are not choosers, who is she to refuse an offer she'd been hoping for for weeks. So of course she had to take it, even after the ridiculous truth regarding the job description. She'll just have to trust Lisa's judgement that she can really do it, since she can't really trust herself.Speaking of Lisa, she had called her the moment she left the company building after her interview. She wanted to scold her for not saying the truth about the job, then again her senior was so happy for her that she just don't have the heart to do so. Plus, she 'was' the one who gave her the opportunity that she really needed."We need to meet." Lisa said excitedly. "I insist that we meet. I really can't leave the house so you'

"Are you bringing that to work on your first day?" Rhine looked at her best friend weirdly as she poured her hangover concoction to a small thermos. It was monday morning and Fate's first day at her new job. Rhine came in really early to make sure that Fate doesn't get late, which is really just an excuse. After all, Fate never gets late for work. She takes overtime a lot, but never ever gets late to work."No, silly." Fate rolled her eyes. "My new boss asked me to bring it for his son. Apparently, he just came back from abroad yesterday and he guessed that he'd been out clubbing last night. Lisa told him I may have something for his hangover, and so here I am.""Huh... you hadn't even clocked in for the day and he's already making you run errands?" Rhine made a face. "Slave driver alert. Wee-woo~ wee-woo~""Don't be ridiculous." Fate snickered at the silly noises her friend is making. "He's just concerned with his son. And I heard that he'

One of Fate's strengths is her dedication to her work, that is to say whatever job is tasked to her she will do her best to fulfill them with the best possible outcome. However, it is also one of her greatest weaknesses, as sometimes she's being too hard on herself that she can't help but expect others to do their job as seriously as she does.They do perform their assigned tasks the best they can, the problem is the standard that Fate has is something that her co-workers are not used to, causing some commotion and unsatisfaction among the employees. This, unfortunately, goes unnoticed to Fate and just sees everyone as being too carefree with their work.It even came to the point where Ella and Fate got into an ugly argument that even had some of the executive directors concerned."Get off your high horse, will you?" Ella had said crossly to Fate. "Do you think you're so perfect that you can just say whatever you want?"She had come to her office to perso

Vincent Custario is the only child of Alexander Custario, one of the most respected man in the city and Fate's previous boss.Having brought up with a silver spoon, it's no wonder that he grew up pampered especially by his mother. He thought that he deserved everything; that everyone should do what he wants; and that he can live the rest of his life doing whatever he wants.And then his father suddenly kept on praising and mentioning his secretary, and even hinted how he wanted her to be part of the family as a daughter-in-law. At first Vincent thought his father was only joking, that he really just liked the said secretary. But then his father told him to take over managing the company while he goes abroad for rehabilitation, and to make sure to woo his secretary by the time he comes back.He resisted of course, and even accused his father of letting his gold digger secretary manipulate him. Obviously his father reacted negatively and threatened him that he won
