His Past Haunts Me

Knock knock I could feel my heart racing as I stood in front of the door, “ You can come in” I heard a male voice say from the other side of the door. “Good morning sir,” I said as I walked into the office, “I’m Mia, the new secretary”“Oh the new secretary. You can sit down,” he said with a smile. Not only do I get to work in Zeus Enterprises, one of the biggest companies in the city, but I also get a handsome boss as a topping. “ I'm Dave the head manager” “ I know you were informed that you will be resuming work as my secretary but there have been some changes”Oh no I can't go through another rejection. “you won't be working for me, you will be working for the CEO”I sat there in shock, trying to process what I just heard. Did I just get promoted on the first day of work? Universe I forgive you for the rejections in the past, you made up for it big time.“ Miss Mia, are you listening?” “ Yes sir” “ Would you still take the job?” Hell yeah, I would be crazy if I rejected

MASON’S POVRing Ring“Arrgh, who is that ?” I reached for my phone to pick the call. “Hello sunshine” a high pitched feminine voice said from the other end.“Why are you calling me so early?”“I want to hear my baby’s voice before I start my day”“Not today, Dave” His laugh is so loud and annoying, and this is not how I want to start my day.“How's your new secretary?” The question brought back memories of the incident, “Why did you send her to the house without informing me?”“She walked in on me naked, well not fully naked, but I was only wearing my underpants”He starts laughing again, at this point I felt like stuffing paper into his mouth.“I guess everything is funny to you” “Sorry” He chuckled“Why would you assign someone like that to me?”“There’s nothing wrong with her. Yes, I know this is her first time as a secretary, but she aced the interview.” “Besides she was not originally meant to work for you, but no one was willing to apply for the post of secretary to the CEO

“Do you want a red lipstick or a nude lipstick?”“Nude” “Red it is” Oliva made final touches to my makeup, “Zoe, your phone is ringing”I reached for my phone to check the caller's ID “ It's Thomas, he is outside”. I hurriedly wore my shoes, took my purse and coat, and left the house.Thomas was standing beside the car when I got outside, “You look beautiful Miss Mia.”“Thank you, Thomas.”The drive to the house made me nauseous and I felt uneasy about the dinner. The scenery of my first time at my boss's house kept playing in my head, the thought of it sent chills down my spine, I just hope I do not do something stupid today. We finally arrived at Gerald's house and I must say, they have impeccable taste when it comes to houses.I took in a deep breath as I pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. It's just dinner Mia, just dinner Breaking my thoughts the door swung open, revealing Jade, “Mia!” She pulled me in for a hug. “You look so beautiful, I knew the

“Hey, Mr. Nelson from the Finance department said I should give this to you. These are the files for last month's tax audit.”“Ok.” I took the document and placed it where the other documents sent to Mr. Mason were kept and went back to writing reports for the last meetings I attended. Mason has been away on a work trip for two weeks. I got an email from him the day after the dinner stating that he was traveling to Australia for an important meeting and that I should resume work at the office the following week. He has been communicating with me via email and he hasn't said anything about the kiss, only work-related stuff. I sort of feel relieved that he doesn't want to talk about it. I'm not ready to talk about what happened that night and it's good we are on the same page.It was a mistake, nothing more.Resuming work at the office has been so stressful. It's different from when I worked as Mason’s stay at home secretary. Now I have to attend meetings on his behalf, summarise the

*Phone rings*“Hello,” Mason said as he put the phone to his ear. “ hello brother” “get straight to the point.” “I am volunteering my services for the upcoming charity event,”“why?”“ Because I am a humanitarian and I love people”He chuckled, “That doesn’t sound convincing enough”“ok, I'm trying to get on Dad’s good side, He’s really serious about this marriage thing.”“Getting married is not a bad idea, you’ll have someone who will love you, protect you, and provide for your exuberant lifestyle.”“I am not ready for marriage. I want to marry for love.”“Marrying for love is exaggerated,”“No, it is not, because yours failed doesn’t mean mine is going to be the same.” Mason was silent for some while, he knew Jade was right. Just because he had it bad, doesn’t mean he let his sister go into an arranged marriage.“Hello, Mason?”“I will be putting you and Mia in charge of the event planning, Mia will be reporting to me and I will be watching you. Since it is voluntary work, I won’
