Chapter 05 - The Demon is her boss

CHAPTER 05 - THE DEMON IS HER BOSS

"Good morning, Sir. I'm the one who got accepted as your new assistant."

Sitting on the chair while facing the window, he was reading her details. When the room filled with his laugh, making her puzzled.

"Is he physio?" she thought.

But soon, when he turned around, her face was no longer cheerful. It turned pale as if someone saw a ghost.

"Welcome to the Vaughan group, Miss Selena."

Her eyes popped out of the socket as she choked in the air. "Y-you?"

Narrowing his brows, he smirked. "Yes, me. The one who you claimed as a demon. The CEO of Vaughan group, Shawn Vaughan."

The terror was visible on her face when he stepped closer to her. She could feel her heart beating faster.

With every step, she was swallowing hard. 

"D-don't come close to me, Sir."

"The concern is yours, Miss Selena."

Stepping back, she almost bumped on the wall when he trapped her in between his arms. She was only looking down, and couldn't dare to meet his eyes again.

"What happened, Wonder Woman? Are you afraid of me now?"

"I apologize for what happened before."

With his sharp layered eyes, he leaned his face more closely. "If I want, I can fire you right now. But..."

Extending his hand, he lifted her chin, causing her to meet those almond eyes again.

"But you owed me $5000. First, repay me, and then you can leave."

"WHAT? $5000 of what?"

Moving back, he brushed his collar and replied. "The suit on which you threw that juice is worth $5000. It's one out of five in the entire world."

Hearing the price, it was as if she started feeling dizzy. Her mind was restless.

"I- I don't have enough money to pay you back. I can't even pay you $500 for now. Please, don't fire me. I'll try my best to compensate for it."

His heart was jumping as if he had never been so happy before today. After all, what he had planned was happening. It was the only way he seemed to keep Selena close to him. Her smell had made him crazy. Was it a side effect of Love at First Sight? Or a childish madness?

As much as he was happy inside, he was trying to look cold-hearted from the outside.

"To compensate, you have to sign one more contract with me."

"What is it?"

........................................

He was sitting in his seat just staring at her. While Selena was having a hard time reading the contract. Reading a term, she scoffed. 

"Whenever you call, I have to come to you? What kind of contract is this?"

"Remember, the debt you have is $5000."

Her lips curved into a fake smile as she thumbs up. But then the next term made her feel disgusted. "No relationship until I pay the debt? Now, this is exploitation."

No matter what she tried to argue on, Shawn smiled and gave only one answer.

"Remember, the debt you have is $5000."

Selena, caught in such a heavy scam because of juice, could only make her curse herself and nothing else.

Accepting her defeat, Selena signed the contract as Shawn quickly snatched the files, checking them twice.

A grin appeared on his lips as he winked at her.

"Congratulations, Selena. You're now my personal assistant and debtor."

Selena's face seemed offended. As if she felt like a slave. The remarkable first day of office was now the first day in the jail.

"What have I done wrong to you?"

Pointing his finger at the coat, he whispered. "$5000 worth coat."

Grinding her teeth, she stood up when he called her name, causing her to turn back. "Miss Selena, do not forget to bring a cup of coffee for me."

Her lips curved into an irritating grin as she nodded her head and rolled her eyes. Within a few steps, she entered the coffee bar of the office. Her eyes met two people bullying one newly appointed worker.

Standing near the wall, she kept watching them until one lady crossed her lines. Raising her hand, she almost slapped the new girl when Selena stopped her.

"Don't you dare to bully?"

Aggressively, the lady glared at her. "Who are you?"

"The newly appointed assistant of Mr. Vaughan. If you dare to bully, I'll complain about you."

A smirk formed on her lips as she laughed. "You'll complain about me? I'll make sure that you won't come to work the next day."

Stroking her hair strands back, she walked towards his cabin when Selena shrugged her shoulders. "What does she think of herself?"

In a low voice, the girl replied. "Co-owner of this company."

"Huh?"

"She is Shawn Vaughan's darling cousin and the one who bullies us all, Misty Vaughan."

Another lady standing there came to them, seeing their drama. She sipped the coffee while holding a cup in her hand. "Pack your stuff, assistant. You'll not stay here till tomorrow."

"Misty is a spoiled brat. She mostly spent her money at parties. But the power she has is her cousin Shawn. Our boss fulfills all her demands."

Turning her head, she glanced at Selena. "And that's why no one stays there for more than one month. His assistant always changes within a month. But you can't even survive one day..."

Upon listening to their talks, Selena's ears were not capable of listening anymore. After all, what she didn't need to do, she did.

Her life got stuck in her heavy sighs. If today she had to leave this job because of her slightly daring side, how would she live?

Life's complications were growing, while the tension of paying Shawn's debt was eating her up.

Selena stood there while feelings tensed when Shawn and his cousin Misty came there.

That wicked smirk on Misty's face was telling that today was Selena's last day.
