A Date With The CEO

PROLOGUE: LEONARDO WHITE.The news that Leonardo White would be coming to pay a visit to the company had been one that had not been unheard of for at least two full weeks.There wasn't a secretary who didn't talk about it, or who wasn't intensely happy about it. Emma still did not fully understand it she did not understand it at all. She had too many doubts about Leonardo's visit, first of all, she did not even know who Leonardo White was, she was so disoriented."I guess I'll meet him soon," she said to herself, as she walked.She raised her hand so that it would be possible for her to see the time. Ten past seven in the morning. She quickened her pace, almost running, if she could find herself in shoes a little more comfortable, she would allow herself to run, too bad those high heels they required secretaries to wear, didn't even allow her to walk properly. It had always seemed to her, unfair in the fact that such an annoying emphasis was placed on women being groomed, without even

She had not finished processing it, and perhaps she would not finish processing it for the rest of the days to come. Two weeks had passed since she had gone from being just another secretary to being Leonardo White's exclusive secretary, and she still felt the same bewilderment as the time he had announced himself.At the time, she had wanted to refuse him and tell him that she did not want to work in his office, but that would be hanging a noose around her neck; seeing how cruelly he had fired Sofia, she had found herself almost unable to refuse the order he had given her. Because he had not asked her, Leonardo White had not asked her to be his exclusive secretary, he had ordered her, and he seemed to have gone to her just to say that, but to her friend's misfortune, he had listened to her words.Everyone was talking about it, everyone was saying that Emma had become a closer secretary to Leonardo White, not even Emma herself knew what that implied, the only difference from her previ

It was the most precious car her faded and worn eyes had ever seen, it wasn't even within her capabilities to imagine how expensive it had been, maybe it was a number she couldn't even pronounce or write.Leonardo had asked her to get out in front of him, Emma did so, although when she reached her boss's car, she slowed down, giving a glance to the blond, who smiled at her, it was a barely perceptible gesture, so much so that she attributed it to a hallucination due to the deep tiredness she felt."That skirt is a little short for you, Emma, don't you think so?" The woman's hands trembled when she heard him say that, her serious face, agitated by a blush, turned tremulously towards the man, the blue of Leonardo's eyes seemed to want to undress the soul of the secretary, who didn't say a single word. "I asked you a question".The woman hesitated what to answer, she remembered the times when she had thought that skirt was a little tighter than the others, but she had paid little attenti

The place where she lived, was a rather humble one, there was not much to show off, and, as she had very bad luck for the places where to live, and that's why she had to move a lot constantly, she never worried about the proportionate decoration of her living place, anyway, almost nobody ever went there, in fact, Leonardo was one of the few people who set foot in that place. Emma didn't have many friends, and the few she did have, were not invited to her house."Sorry for the mess," she said to her boss, who was looking at everything in complete silence. It was only when she stood in front of Leonardo at that moment that she realized how small she was compared to him. And she was not a small woman, in fact, she stood out in stature with the rest of her friends."There's no mess here," he observed, laughing, "Are you feeling better, Emma?""Yes, sir," she replied, not quite knowing how to behave, never believing that not inviting anyone to her apartment, even her own mother, would ever

She had agreed that dinner would be in two days that had passed with the speed of a bullet passing through a person's chest to take their life. There was no moment in which Emma did not regret having agreed to go out with Leonardo White, she was afraid, something told her that her life would not be the same since that night.She looked out the window, a sigh escaped her lips. Darkness covered any vestige of light, there was not a single star illuminating the sky, it was as if they had all died suddenly.She hadn't told anyone that he had invited her to a dinner party, maybe because she still didn't quite believe it, there was a part of her that chose to believe that it was all a joke that would soon have an end, that soon he would call her and tell her that it had just been a bad joke.For forty-eight hours, she had thought of only two things: Leonardo and her date with him. She was a somewhat shy girl, when nerves got the better of her, words could hardly come out of her lips, she wa
