Chapter 6

Brielle's POV

" W-what do you want to discuss? " I asked softly as he guided me over to a chair.

" Some basic things. Like what I expect from you as my assistant or the requirements that need to be fulfilled... " He took my hand and directed me to have a seat. I sat down and looked up at him. He leant down and placed his hands on the arms of the chair. I blushed faintly as he tilted his head, that was less than a foot away from mine, slightly.

" You do accept... don't you Brielle? " I blinked for a few seconds then I nodded my head a little.

" O-of course I do " I bit my lip softly and his eyes went to my lips for a second then back to my eyes. He started to tap on the arms of the chair with his fingers as if he was trying to distract himself. style="text-align:left;">" Can I ask you a question? " He shrugged.

" I don't see why not "

" Why me? I mean you basically forced me into this job and I'm positive my résumé has the tiniest bits of qualification that would get me in... any position really. " He smirked and his pearly white teeth came into view slightly.

" I have my reasons darling. Now- " He stood straight up again. " I would like to give you a small tour before I give you any tasks to do today. " I stood up and followed him to a door on the side of the office.

" Because today is Friday all of the work from this week needs to be done. Weeks like this week requires a lot exertion from our employees and other executives so we extend the work week until tomorrow. On a regular weekly basis Sundays, for most of our employees, are free. Working Saturdays depends on your position in the building. I am here 7 days out of the week so I expect you to be here as well. If you do have issues or plans I do understand. Just bring them to my attention a few days before. " I nodded my head and he pulled out a key and opened the door.

" This is your office. You may decorate it anyway you want. This is where you will do most of your work. You may keep the door open or closed, whatever you prefer. I will buzz the intercom or call the phone if I do need you. Your computer is set up with all of the company's documents, files, contracts, emails, etc. You will also receive a complimentary company iPad and laptop with the same contents of those on the computer. You're schedule will be presented to you before you start working... Are there any questions? " I looked in the office and gulped. All the information he just told me tried to process in my brain. I looked over to the wall on the outside of the office as I stood by the door and I noticed a black rectangular button. I pointed to it.

" What does that button do? " He walked out of my office and I followed him. He pushed the button and stepped back behind me. I didn't see or hear anything happen. I jumped back when the wall started to spin slowly and the paint on the wall started to disappear. I took a few steps back and blushed again when I felt him him put his hand on my lower back. The wall stopped spinning and I was in shock. There was now a glass wall that showed the entire office.

" Oh " I said in a whisper and he chuckled.

" It can be changed to different settings like regular wall, transparent on both views or just on one "

" What do you mean by just on one? " I stepped away from his hand and turned to face him.

" I mean that if I wanted to I could change the setting to where I can see you but you can't see me... " He stepped a little closer and looked down at me. I looked away from his intense gaze. He walked towards the door and beckoned for me to follow him. I scurried over to him as his long strides were hard to keep up with.

He opened his office door and we both walked out.

" So can you make all the walls in the building be transparent? " I asked as he closed the door.

" I can but I'd rather not. I'd like to make the employees not feel as pressured as they already are. They know they're on 24 hour surveillance but see through walls will just make them extremely paranoid " We walked over to the elevator and he nodded his head at Anna who looked up at us for a split second. We walked towards the back and he pointed to different rooms and told me what they were. Most of them happened to be conference rooms. When we finished he walked me over to an elevator in the back. He put his thumb on the pad and the doors opened. We walked in and it looked like the elevator up front only sleeker and more polished.

He pressed the 81st floor " I'm only going to be showing you this floor because this will be the floor you interact with 50% of the time. The rest of the floors are controlled by my executives who work on this floor. The employees come up to the top floor for any scheduled meeting or if it's planned to be specifically on the lower floors than we have the meeting there. Which reminds me, you accompany me to every meeting. To write down notes or bring coffee for example " The elevator doors opened and we walked out.

" You have other buildings on this block? "

" 13 to be exact "

" Will we have meetings over there too? "

" Most of the time they come here because this is headquarters but I do go to those buildings every once in awhile " As we walked through I could see people walking back and forth on the phone and hear meeting going on in other rooms. We walked into a room which had a man at a desk with two computer screens and a stack of papers. He walked me behind the desk and I was surprised to see hundreds of files on the homescreen.

" Pull up an overview of our stock clients Derek "

" Of course sir " Not even ten seconds passed and he had it up.

" My industry manages stocks for the biggest companies in the world. We make sure their money is secure and we provide the best facilities possible. " I looked at the overview a little surprised. I saw all the biggest companies in his list. Apple, Samsung, Verizon, Gucci, YSL. If you named a company there was a 99.99% chance it was here. They were also storing millions even a few billions in their stocks. On the side was also a list of CEO's he needed to get in contact with. At the bottom was a list of the richest CEO's and Killian was... second? Even though it was only by a few figures, with all he's doing I would assume he was first.

He walked me out of the room and continued the tour.

" You're the second richest man in the country? " I asked as we finished the tour and headed back to the elevator.

" That is correct "

" Who's the first? " He opened the elevator and we stepped in.

" My father.. Well for the next few months. He'll be handing his enterprise over to me and then I'll be the richest in the country. And a few months later, after a couple business trips to Europe and Asia, I will possibly be the richest in the world. " I nodded my head and froze for a second. I'm supposed to be accompanying him to his business trips. No one ever said anything about going across the world.

" E-Europe? Asia? " He smirked as the doors open.

" Oh my sweet Brielle you still have much to learn about this lifestyle "

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

I walked back into Killian's office as I held his black coffee with two shots of espresso, pages of contracts and loads of files. I wasn't expecting him to give me a whole schedule of things to do before the end of the day without even knowing where the bathroom is. I walked over to his desk and sat the coffee down as he continue to type on his computer. I put the files and contracts on the side of his desk and sighed.

" Thank you Ms. Newman. Your assistance is greatly appreciated " He smirked as looked up at me. He grabbed the coffee and took a sip. He bit his lip and gazed back up at me.

" You did a marvelous job with the coffee Ms. Newman but sadly- " He grabbed my hand which made me shiver slightly and placed the cup in palm.

" I asked for three shots of espresso. Not two " My jaw clenched as I nodded my head.

" I'll be right back with your coffee Mr. Russel " I turned and walked out of his office. I walked back into the break room and made another shot of espresso. I waited as I watched the expensive machine do its magic. When it finished, I poured it into the cup and sighed as I started mixing. If it wasn't for Anna, I wouldn't have been able to do.. well anything.

I had asked her for directions to the main stockbroker's office which was on the 79th floor. I needed some of the contracts from the main coordinator. She had told me exactly where to go and I followed her instructions up until the elevator doors opened to the floor. It was so busy with people that I choked up and pressed the top floor. I walked out the elevator and made eye contact with her. I bit my lip as I looked down at my shoes.

" I forgot where to go " I said and she sighed.

" It's ok Brielle... give me a second. " I nodded my head as she walked into Killian's office. She walked back out and handed me a small white box. I opened it to see a white ear piece.

" It's a bluetooth. You'll be able to hear my directions as I'm on it with you " She took it out the box and moved my hair as she put it in my ear. I smiled softly as I thanked her and all day she's helped me with directions, explanations and so much more. She was a year or two older than me and not mean or judgemental at all.

I grabbed the cup and walked out of the room towards his office. I opened the door and approached his desk. He was on the phone so I didn't say anything. I set his coffee on the desk and he looked up at me. I blushed as he continued to talk on the phone. I backed away awkwardly and he nodded his head at me as he went back to giving the person on the phone his full attention.

I opened my office door and walked in. I took a seat on the chair and groaned as I saw the work I had to complete. I grabbed the first contract and started to review it. After going through three more contracts the phone rang. I picked it up and held it to my ear.

" Hello. This is the personal assistant of the CEO of KR Inc. How may I help you? "

" H-hi can I speak to Brib-..... Ms. Newman please " My eyes went wide.

" Delilah? " I heard her gasp.

" BRIBRI!! "

" Hi sweetheart "

" H-hi Bribri! I found this number on the dresser next to your other papers. D-did you get the job?" I smiled at her cuteness.

" I did baby " I heard someone else speak in the back. You owe me ten bucks kid "

" Oh shush! " She whispered and I cleared my throat.

" Sweetie who's that? "

" It's just Mr. Burkley. I didn't want you to get the job at first since you wouldn't be home but I changed my mind "

" And why is that baby? "

" Because you're with Killy!! " She giggled and my eyes went wide.

" How do you know that? "

" Mr. Burkley told me "

" Could you pass Mr. Burkley the phone baby? "

" Burky! Bribri wants to talk to you. Stop shaking your head!! " I felt someone looking at me and I looked up to see Killian staring at me through the glass as he crossed his leg over the other one in his chair.

" Um baby I gotta go. Tell Burky I'll be coming for him. " I put the phone on the receiver and I looked back at him. I blushed as he made a 'come here' motion with his finger. I stood up and walked out of the room.

" Y-yes Mr.Russel "

" I assume you are aware of my personal driver George correct? " I nodded my head.

" Yes "

" Well I arrive and leave the building earlier and later than you do. So I decided to give George the position of also being your driver " I bit my lip.

" T-that won't be necessary sir.... I could just take the bus or a taxi " He went back to his computer.

" He'll be ready for you at 6:30 "

" B-but- " He turned to look at me.

" Run along now Brielle " He turned away and I crossed my arms and turned to the door. As I walked away semi-angrily I could hear him chuckling softly.

A few hours passed and I was finished with all of my work. I set them on Killian's desk and looked at the clock which read 6:30. I walked towards the door as I held my things. Killian walked through the door and I took a step back as he approached me. He looked me up and down before breathing in slightly.

" Until tomorrow Ms. Newman " I cleared my throat.

" Until then Mr. Russel " He stepped out of the way and watched as I made my way out the office and to the elevator. When the doors closed I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. The doors opened and as I walked past the front desk, the receptionist glared at me. I opened the front doors and the security guards nodded their heads at me. I strolled down the sidewalk as I tried to find a taxi. I was about to raise hand when I heard someone speak.

" Ms. Newman " I jumped as I shrieked slightly and turned around to see George. I had completely forgotten about him.

" O-oh. Hi George "

" I have the car pulled up in front miss "

" O-ok " I followed him to the car and he opened the back door for me. I got in as I thanked him and looked around. Everything was black. In front of me were trays of champagne or wine and to the side was an inbuilt computer system. On the side of the chairs were small buttons which I assumed when pressed the bottom lifts up. I didn't even notice if George was calling me or that the car was already moving.

" If you looked on the other seat miss you will see two white boxes. Those are your work utilities that Mr. Russel has left for you. He suggests that you open them and set them up so you're prepared for tomorrow " I nodded my head as I grabbed the boxes and sat them in my lap. We arrived at my apartment and I stepped out as I grabbed my things.

" Thank you George "

" No problem miss. I'll be here at 7:45 tomorrow morning to pick you up. "

" Ok " I waved goodbye as I walked into my building. I reached my door and unlocked it with my key. I stepped in and placed my items on counter. Once I did I felt a tiny body tackle me.

" BRIBRI BRIBRI BRIBRI!!! YOU'RE HOME!!! " I giggled and smothered her face with kisses.

" I am baby. How was your day? " I asked as I sat with her on the couch.

" Good! All the kids at dance class today missed you " She pouted and I smiled.

" Sweetie once I get a clear schedule I'll be able to teach classes again but for now Aunty has to lay low " She nodded her head and leaned into my ear giggling.

" Burky's hiding in the bathroom " I set her down on the couch and quickly marched to the bathroom. I slammed the door opened and he jumped and screamed as he hopped around and faced me.

" My darling girl Brielle! How are you sweetheart? Hehe....How are...you " He started to trail off as I walked towards him menacingly. I quickly grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out of the bathroom.

" Ow ow! Ok WOW this hurts " He said and I pushed him on the couch. He knew Killian was the owner of the company but he didn't say a word.

" Ok I can explain myself " He raised his hands in surrender.

" But first- " He used one of his hands to point to the kitchen.

" I have white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and white chocolate ganache dip on the kitchen counter waiting for you " I crossed my arms.

" Extra chocolate? " He nodded frantically. I rubbed my moisturized lips together.

" Vanilla almond milk? "

" It wouldn't be me if I didn't get some extra vanilla almond milk " I grabbed Delilah who was laughing and set her on my hip.

" Let's go " He hopped up excitedly as we made our way to the cookies in the kitchen.
