Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Broken Secretary : Bab 1 - Bab 10

~NELLA~It was finally Sam's birthday, and I was determined to surprise him with the money he'd been asking for, along with a few other gifts. Unfortunately, fate had other plans. I wasn’t even in New York—I had been called to Chicago for an emergency meeting with my boss and a potential partner company. The thought of missing Sam's special day filled me with disappointment, especially since I had so badly wanted to be there, to hand him the money myself and witness the joy on his face. But, as much as I longed to be with him, I had to push through the meeting. Earlier that day, I had sent Sam the money, and his excitement over the phone was contagious. He was over the moon, and I could hear the happiness in his voice as he thanked me repeatedly. We talked for hours, unable to hang up, savoring every moment. I couldn’t wait to be back in New York. In just a week, I would finally see him again. I was still determined to make it up to him with thoughtful gifts when I returned. I lov

~NELLA~ Her lips curved into a smile that wasn’t even close to friendly. “No miss Nella, this isn’t a game,” she said cryptically, taking a step forward with a fluid grace. She dropped the pen she had been flipping back onto the desk, and for a moment, it felt like she was finally leaving. But when she spoke again, her voice was quiet, almost a whisper, but it carried enough weight to make my blood run cold.“I don’t play games,” she said. “Not even a shot.” She said as she walked away.The day at work had been an utter disaster. My mind was a tangled mess, and the mistakes piled up one after the other. Yet there was Maya, as calm and composed as ever, like nothing was wrong. I couldn’t help but feel like a failure, and though I was the one struggling, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was the villain in this story. I just wanted to escape, to leave the chaos behind.As the hours stretched on, I found myself growing more frustrated. My phone was relentless with Sam’s missed calls

~NELLA~ Just then, the wine glass slipped from Gray’s hand, shattering the moment.“Oh no, I’m so sorry,” Gray said, pulling away with an apologetic look.My heart was still racing, and I couldn't help but laugh. “It’s okay, really. It’s just wine.”But as I looked at Gray, my smile softened. I knew this was no longer just a simple dinner or friendly gesture. Something deeper, something undeniable, had shifted between us.The night flew by. Just a week after I visited at his place, Gray finally asked me to be his girlfriend. Our first night together was unforgettable—an experience I couldn't have imagined, with him knowing just what to do in all the right ways. As I shared the story with Ashley, she shot me a look of mild disgust, but we laughed it off and had a few shots. Ethan was still out of the country, but we’d been keeping in touch through long video calls.Two weeks later, Miss Taylor called me with some surprising news. She said I should check my mail because she was shocked

~Nella~ “Oh no! I’—I’m so sorry—, I said looking confused on what to do but before I could even say anything else I was shut with a heavy slap from Eva, Roy’s fiancée. “I’m so sorry, Miss Eva. I’ll have your dress dry-cleaned and sent to you immediately,” I stammered.My voice was fragile as I fought to hold back the tears threatening to spill over. But before I could say another word, Eva’s hand struck my face again, the sound of her slap sharp and unforgiving. “How dare you! You disgusting, blind secretary!” she spat, her voice dripping with venom. “I’m so sorry ma’am,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll take care of it. I promise.” My words were barely audible, weighed down by the sting of the slap, the humiliation. But the agony deepened when Roy’s voice joined in, harsh and bitter. “Do you ever get anything right, Nella? Ugh!” Roy snapped, his disgust palpable in the air. “I—I’m deeply sorry,” I stuttered, choking on my words”. “It won’t happen again

~Nella~My thoughts were interrupted by a playful push from behind. It was Hannah and Elsa. “Seems like someone will be joining us for dinner tonight”, Hannah said with a smile. “Yes girl.. and I’m quite surprised too”, I responded feeling excited. I was exhausted but I was happy to be joining them for dinner, especially since it’s been a long time since I was able to do so. Just then the rest of the team walked out of the office building chatting with excitement. Fridays were the best days for us especially when there was no carryover jobs. “Excuse me guys but I won’t be joining in today. It’s my parents' anniversary and I need to be there”. Blair said as she waved goodbye. She was the youngest on the team but was the best photographer in the company. “Bye Blair”.We boarded three taxis, each dispatched for four people, since Blair wasn’t joining us, and Walter was still missing in action. We headed to our usual haunt, The Midnight Bites, a cozy restaurant just a few miles from t
