When I arrived at AJ Spins and Scent this morning, there was this feeling of Happiness. Optimism? I cannot place my finger on it, but it was there as soon as I arrived.

I was directed to the last floor which belonged to the CEO and holy hell it was a huge floor. Three secretaries worked at the front desk before getting to my desk, which is opposite the CEO's office.

I just had to stand to admire how spacious and CEO-ish the whole place looked.

One of the secretaries, Miranda, showed me my desk, which was a small opening office space right there in the corner of the office.

It has a desk and a chair with a pop-up wardrobe that has plenty of books and files inside it.

“I think this is all you need right now, you can just sit around and await the next instruction,” she said to me before disappearing off to her front desk.

Everyone was hostile, the two other ladies didn't even utter a hi, even after I made sure to send a greeting their way. At least only Miranda was able to say something, but then the high stiffness in her shoulder shows she is just as hostile as everyone else.

After sitting here for two hours without having anything, I think I must have lost it for a minute.

I rearranged the desk to my taste, flipped through every file on it, and even set out calendars, but there was nothing else to do.

Fed up, I stood and walked to the front desk where the other ladies were sitting

“Hi,” I said to them, putting a smile on my face. “I umm have been sitting around and there isn't….”

“Mr. Jaime isn't here yet, and that is who you work for” one of them interrupted me, eyeing me down.

She has pink hair, with a full bust, and her cheeks which she painted with so much blush you can dust off the shining part replied to me.

Her bust is fake, she must have had them done and then went around feeling like everyone else should bow to her.

“Yes I know that, but there must be something for me to do or.....”

“You don't just get it, sit around there and await further instructions” She blurted out

“Oh I see, you just had to make it more clear”

She must have seen the fire in my eyes and knew that I wasn't ready to back down until her hot ass and fake tits knew I'm not one to pick around with.

“It's fine Clarissa,” Miranda said, “I will just….” She was flipping through files on her desk when the elevator opened and everyone stopped what they were doing, all attention right there.

He came out of the elevator looking drop-dead gorgeous, with a dark shade over his eyes, he strode majestically until he walked past us.

He screams expensively, from the suit to his role and the exceptional way he walks. Not only that, but he doesn't have to do much to be noticed in a place.

When I turned around to look at the others, I wasn't the only one transfixed, every other person had their mouth agape as they all trailed their eyes after him.

“I cannot believe such a male species exists,” The busty brunette said.

“Right,” the other who barely spoke said after her as they suddenly seemed to realize where they were and just chuckled.

The chuckle suddenly died, and I turned around once I heard a scrape of returning shoes.

“You,” he said, pointing his finger at me, “I'm sure that isn't a place of assigned duty”

"Right, yes" I left the place and walked as fast as my leg could carry me out of the reception area until I was back in my little office space.

His entrance is majestic, is that walk even normal?? Who walks like they are in a runaway with a dark shade in an office space that has enough light.

I felt a presence in my office and lifted my face to see he was standing at the door.

“Good morning Mr. Jaime” I stood up from my desk, scrambling for a way to stand.

He regarded me sternly, I could feel his gaze on me even through the thickness of the shade he was putting on.

His gaze is hardened, almost making me feel so little. He took a step and another until he was crowding the entire small office space.

Gosh, the man is tall, over my height. I feel like a little sand animal standing with this giant of a man.

His hands were in his shade before he gradually removed it and for the first time, I could see the color of his eyes.

So blue, the deepness of the iris and the blue marks around it, with the longest lashes I have ever seen on a human. Is this even fair? Why do men have to work less difficult to get good lashes, while women have to add a fake for them to look presentable??

His hair is so dark and thick and full, the new-shaven style makes it so pleasant to the eye that you want to run your hands on it.

“I don't want a repeat of that” he suddenly said, and I snapped out of the dense

“A repeat of….”

“I'm not done talking, don't ever interrupt me, and listen first before asking any question” He snapped at me.

I press my lips together, stopping myself from asking another unnecessary question.

He regarded me again before his posture changed to a straight one and his eyes did not leave my face.

“Listen, I emailed you. I will be here around 10 am” I looked at the clock in the office, and it was exactly 5 minutes to 10 am.

But the problem?? I didn't check the mail,

“So I presume the coffee I requested is ready then,” he said, taking a step back and turning around.

“Coffee?? What coffee??” That made him stop, right at the door of the office, before he turned around and cast a glaring eye at me.

“I told you I needed a coffee as soon as I got back, and the mail did you send them??”

I opened my mouth, then closed it and repeated the same action. The concern here is that I have no idea what he is talking about.

“Of course, you didn't, did you even check the computer? I made sure to add that in the mail I sent you last night”

Oh shit, he did email me but I must have missed that part.

“Umm I just I will check it but I.....”

“It's your first day and the promise of working hard seems to have already vanished” he took a long stride until he was standing right in front of me.

I think I forgot how to breathe for a moment, he crowded over me with the prowess of his sheer nearness and I must have gotten rid of breathing together. God, this man is tall.

His hands are on my desk as I look down at what he is doing. He is tearing out a paper and as he does so he looks for a pen and then stares at me.

I took a step back, the man seemed to be too large for her.

“You are on a month's probation, and subsequently, I'm sure you will find your way out” he signed something on the paper and straightened himself.

“Also get me my coffee in 20 minutes and I want those emails sent before one hour."

Without saying anything else, he walked out of the office.

I looked at him go, the strength he possesses. The way he knows exactly what he is doing as he goes.

I watched him walk away until he opened the door to his office and disappeared.

“Wow,” I muttered, trying to bring my breath back to how it was supposed to be before.

“Shoot” remembering I have 20 minutes to get the coffee and less than an hour to get the emails I have no idea about sent out. I scrambled for my pouch and ran out of the office to get him his damned coffee.

* * *

A coffee place so close to the office is where I'm currently standing. There is a long queer in the coffee shop and I happen to be at the back.

I look down at my watch and there are exactly ten minutes before my time expires

I almost fell to the ground as soon as I remembered I didn't even know the coffee I was meant to buy.

"Oh shit” I swore hard, louder than I wanted to sound, and suddenly every eye was on me.

Pressing my lips together, which is something I have formed right now, I gave them all a reassuring look before my head was back down, and I was swearing inside.

Not only do I not have any idea of the coffee he wants, but I also don't think I will be out of there for at least another 20 minutes.

“Must be tough, huh?" someone said behind me and I turned around to see a man standing at my back. I hadn't even noticed when he appeared.

He has glasses over his eyes, with a gray t-shirt on, and he looks typically like a tech guy.

“You can say that again” I sighed in defeat.

“That is how it is, working for Adriel Jaime,” He said, his voice sounding like it was about to offer me strength.

“Wait, how do you…” He laughed and shook his head.

“The moment you ran down to this place with that much Force I think everyone around here knows who you work for, plus that swear too” he shook his head.

Gosh, another reason to sigh again.

“It doesn't get that bad though, you looked pretty determined,” He said, touching my shoulder lightly.

“I am not. I am on the verge of turning in my resignation letter because I don't even know the coffee he wants, plus I have just five minutes before the time he gives me runs out” I exploded in front of him and his eyes lowered as he gave me a pitiful glance.

“Oh I don't usually talk like this, oh maybe I do, but I'm about to explode more right now” He chuckled.

“I could help,” He said.

“Oh, how??” I ask, looking seemingly interested.

“When you walk to the third roll right there,” He points to the roll with a man standing over and attending to others, “Tell him you are here to take Jaime's coffee, and you are good to go” he ends with a shrug.

“Oh my god you are a lifesaver” I beamed at him and almost hugged him but then realizing myself I laughed instead, “Thank you so much.”

Without wasting much time I ran to the front as he had said, and even though others were there I made sure to shout at the top of my voice where the man heard me, and miraculously he just turned around and looked under his desk before handing me a paper bag.

“You were running late,” he said,

I smiled at him, took the paper bag, and ran as fast as my leg could carry me out of the place and back to the office.

I have less than 2 minutes, I will never make it there on time.

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 42

    CLARISSAI gasped as my back hit the elevator wall, his hands gripping my hips, his mouth crashing against mine like he had been starved for it.His hands were rough on my skin, pressing me so hard I knew I needed more. The kiss was urgent, greedy. His hips rolled into me, and I whimpered at the feel of his thick, hard length pressing against my stomach.“Finally…” he muttered, his teeth grazing my bottom lip before sucking it into his mouth. “I’ve been craving you since the day you fucking stared at me from across the hall.”His words hit harder than I expected. Without thinking, I pushed closer, needing him all over me. God, I wanted more.“Impressive,” I managed to say as his hips moved again, his hand hitching my dress up.His lips trailed to my neck, and his teeth scraped against the sensitive skin there. “Can’t wait to be inside you,” he growled. The heat of his breath zinged straight to my core, and if I thought I was already wet, I was dripping now from the filthy things comin

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 41

    JAIME ADRIELThe moment the message came in, I picked up my phone, thinking it was something work-related.But no, it was a video.Clarissa.In a kitchen.With George Aberforth.My jaw clenched before I even realized it. Her laughter rang through the speakers, light and carefree. She wasn’t even in the frame for most of the video, but her smile was loud enough to feel.And for some reason, that pissed me off more than I care to admit.“Sir?”I looked up, dragging my eyes from the screen and placing the phone flat on the table.We were in the middle of a meeting, finalizing the first branch opening here, the fragrances doing exceptionally well in early markets. This was supposed to be a win. Expansion was next on the agenda.But now I was trying to piece together what I had missed while my head had been somewhere else.Across the table, Georgina was watching me. She hadn’t looked away once the entire time. I honestly wished she wasn’t here, but of course, she had demanded to be include

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 40

    CLARISSA MILLERI tossed and turned all night and barely caught a wink of sleep.This morning’s schedule is already glaring at me, reminding me of everything I need to get done. So why can’t I get out of this bed?Oh, right, I know why. It has everything to do with my boss.I’m trying hard not to think about the fact that I’ve developed feelings for Jaime Adriel, but it’s driving me insane.Last night, I had to leave as quickly as possible. Even when he offered to drive me back to the hotel, I told him I would be fine on my own, and then I ran.Yes, I fled. Because I was on the verge of losing it, and there’s really no other way to explain how loud these emotions are in my head.I turned into the pillow and let out another scream, louder this time. Tell me how this even happened? When? Why?This is the crazy part, there is no explanation.I lifted my head and stared up at the ceiling, then turned to the sunlight streaming through the window.Maybe I’ll just stay here and wait to die.

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 39

    CLARISSANot only was he funny, but I never expected George to be the type of man who could be so laid back, making a woman laugh without trying to pull her down.Even after finding out I was just an assistant, he still spoke to me calmly, with a warm smile that made him feel like a breath of fresh air, so unlike the world of the rich I was used to while working with Jaime.“This piece of art is unique. It has been in this house for centuries, passed down from generation to generation. You have good eyes.”I turned to George with a full smile before my gaze flicked back to the painting on the wall.It looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes at first glance, but the longer I stared, the more it pulled me in. I still couldn’t quite tell what it was, but I was captivated.“Your home is beautiful, George,” I said, pulling my eyes away from the art and glancing at the crowd filling the house.And then my eyes went exactly where they shouldn’t, Jaime and Georgina, George’s twin sister, standi

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 38

    JAIME ADRIELAfter a long, exhausting day at work, all I wanted was to unwind. But of course, the party I have been invited to still required my presence. And that’s where Clarissa came in.I sent her a message almost two hours ago, asking her to get ready. Even the dress I had delivered to her suite remained untouched. No confirmation, no reply. Where the hell was she?I shouldn’t be this angry, but I was. I was standing right in front of her door, and it was nearly 7 p.m. She wasn’t back.The irritation I have been holding in all day boiled over. She had already pissed me off earlier, ditching the first meeting without a single word. And now she couldn’t even be bothered to answer her phone? Not the calls. Not the dozen texts.That alone was enough reason to fire her, regardless of whatever agreement we had made. She was the first to break it. She was supposed to follow my schedule, not hers.Then the elevator dinged.Laughter, bright, warm, hers, echoed down the hallway before she

  • He Had Me On A Contract    Chapter 37

    Seven torturous hours later, I could barely see my screen. My back ached, my head pounded like a drum, and my neck felt like it was about to snap clean off. Yet, my boss still sat across from me, throwing piles and piles of work in my direction like I was some machine designed to never stop.In just three hours, we had another important meeting. So somehow, I was expected to show up looking fresh and capable, not like the zombie I was slowly turning into.The first groan that escaped my mouth all night earned me a sharp look from him, irritation flaring through his nose.“What exactly were you doing all evening before now?” he snapped, silencing the little complaint that had been building in my chest. I couldn’t even form a reply. What was I supposed to say? Watching TV and sipping wine before he barged in like the devil?He stood abruptly, and for a moment, hope bloomed in my chest.“I need to take this call,” he muttered, waving his phone at me, one I hadn’t even noticed ringing, be
