BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACTED SECRETARY

AUTHOR'S POV It was a windy day in the month of February due to the hurricane, and all the clocks were striking thirteen. Tina lay on her bed, so tired, as the windy air blew into her room and sent shivers down her spine, yet she was still hot and fuming with anger. She felt like pouring down those annoying words and bad luck she had been experiencing on someone at that moment. She glanced around the room from side to side as she stared at each and every newspaper scattered on the reading table, the floor, and on her bed as her eye came across job vacancies. She circled it out with a red pen. As a matter of fact, she felt like she was cursed or was destined not to ever get a good opportunity in life. She was so unfortunate when it came to a lot of things, most especially getting a job, which was the main reason she was jobless at that moment. She lost her parents in a gas accident when she was 11. She started fending for herself with the little she could do until her dad's brothe

IN JORDAN COSMETIC INDUSTRY Thump "Come in," Nicole says as Susan Johnson, the director's own associate, strolls into her office. "How may I help you?" Nicole inquired. "Good day, Miss Nicole. You are required in the director's office at this moment," Susan said, passing the administrator message to her. "OK, I will be there shortly." Nicole expresses tranquility as Susan gestures to her head and heads out of the workplace. "Tina, I need to go now; I have something to take care of," Nicole says. "OK, bye, be careful," Tina says. "Better believe it, deal with yourself as well, and remember to eat," Nicole tells her. "Sure, I will. Bye," Tina says as she hangs up. Nicole Scott is a 21-year-old woman who works as a dermatologist and also serves as the managing director of the Jordan Cosmetics company. She has been in the industry for three years, thanks to her parents, Mr. Bradley and Mrs. Irene Scott, who assisted her in obtaining the position. "Why would the Chairman want t

TINA'S POV "Nicole, oh my gosh, this is New York!" I exclaimed. The city was splendid. It was on the outskirts of Mexico. Of course, it took us an hour or so to get here without traffic. Oh my goodness, it's been a year since I came here, and everything here has changed so much. We were standing in front of McSorley's Old Ale House, one of the popular bars in New York. I knew this would happen that day when Nicole told me we should go out to get some fresh air. This wasn't our class; we actually didn't belong here, but right now I have no say in it, and I loved it. "Oh my gosh, this air is worth it," I exclaimed immediately. I felt the air drive its way into my sweat pores and give me lots of goosebumps. "Nicole," I called her as I checked my sides but couldn't find her. I got my way through the bouncers; thank goodness I didn't dress awkwardly. "At least I didn't dress like a commoner," I said to myself. Finally, I found Nicole at the counter; she was talking to the

And truly, I envied her, she just looked like Nicole in terms of character. "Luca," she called out, and I wondered if the person was the receptionist she was talking about. "Luca," she called out again as she entered the office where the discussion was held. A bronze-skinned, blue-eyed guy turned. "Annabelle... I'm so sorry, I did not hear you calling," Luca apologized to her as he stared at me. "No offense taken," Anabelle stated, and I think that was true because it was clear that he didn't hear her calling him. "And who do we have here?" Luca asked while gesturing his hand out for a handshake. "Hi Luca, my name is Christina Herbert," I replied as I stretched out my hands to return his handshake, it would be rude if I didn't, and this was my first day in the Seamus Group of Companies, so I would not want to make enemies so fast, even though I haven't gotten the job. "Luca, please, I need you to take Christina to Mr. Aaron's office, she is here for an interview," Anna
