Chapter 15

Felicity's POV

" Good morning Tessa!" I greeted her vibrantly when I saw her on the hallway. 

" Good morning Fely! The beautiful girlfriend of Mr. CEO.", she welcomed me with a hug. I only chuckled on her remarks. 

Damon is on the office, talking with the head of the board member of the company. They wanted to talk privately so I am strolling in the hallway and blessed to meet Tessa.

" Let's hang out sometime Fely." 

" Yeah! Yes of course. When and where? Just give me a heads up Tessa, I will join with you.", I optimistically replied.

How I wanted to hang out with a friend. It's been a very long time since I hang out and now, I would never miss it, good thing Tessa talked about it.

" Okay, sure. Give me your number so I can reach you out.", she said handing out her phone to me. 

After I put my number on her phone. She excused herself to me, I understand her because she really has a lot of tasks to do. While me as a secretary of the CEO is lucky and advantageous in my work. 

" We will have an emergency meeting by three in the afternoon. Kindly, have this signed to the marketing department, it's on the 35th floor sweetie.", he informed me while he is busy on his laptop. 

I instantly get the folders on his table and  excited his office. This is what I'm looking forward, to work normally as his Secretary. 

I pressed the 35th floor in the elevator. I'm with the other employees inside the elevator, and I loved how they were so close to each other and communicated to each other heartily.

" Oh my God! ", I shrieked when a guy bumped me.

 The folders slipped in my hands and scattered all around the floor. What a fucking lucky day to start my work. 

" I'm sorry.", the guy in his thick eyeglasses apologized, as he gets the folders. 

I help him picked up the folders. I even got a hold of his hand when I accidentally almost fall when I lose my balance because of my high heels. 

" Shit! Sorry.", I mumbled when my heels literally slipped on the floor. And I promptly grab his arms for support. 

I stood up firmly as soon as he let go of my waist. That's the moment I take a looked at him. He is handsome, even though he has a thick glass on. He has a soft feature of his face, he looks nice and innocent.

" Here.", he handed me the folders. And I immediately get it from him.

" I'm Chad by the way. My cubicle is on the 40th floor.", he introduced.

" Hi! I'm Felicity. I'm the new secretary of our CEO.", I stretch my hand for a handshake, which he accept instantly.

" My pleasure to meet the secretary of our very owned CEO." 

" Pleasure to meet you too Chad", I chuckled.

Oh shoot! I forgot I should have this document signed immediately, because it will be needed in the meeting later. 

" Excuse me, I need to go to the marketing department now.", I told him.

" Yeah pretty sure. Sorry for the inconvenience Miss Felicity.", he apologized once more.

I gave him an assuring smile before I walked away from him. He is a nice guy, I'm sure of it.

After having the documents signed by the head of the marketing department. I directly went to Damon's office. 

Only to witness his deadly stares directed at me. What's his problem? 

" You're flirting with my employee huh?", he coldly said. 

What the fuck! Me? Flirting? There's no way in hell I'm doing it. 

" No. Of course not.", I insisted. Because that's the truth.

" Then, what's taking you long? Because you meet a guy in your way down there?", he said and frustration and irritation is evident in his voice. How did he know? He have me followed, monitored, or what?

" You're just jealous Damon. Don't make this a big deal please." I said trying to console him from what he's feeling.

" I will fire that guy.", he declared. 

I looked at him amusingly. To hell with his jealousy! He will not fire his employee just because he is jealous, he's being irrational, when it comes to me.

" Don't you ever do it Damon. Chad is an innocent guy. Don't be so unreasonable.", I said almost losing my patience.

" So you know his name.", he mocked.

" Shut the fuck up! If you will fire him, I will fucking resign Damon.", I warned him.

Of course, I don't want Chad or anyone be involved of his foolish decisions just because it pertains to his feelings for me. Chad didn't do anything wrong for Pete's sake!

Damon looked away, and take a deep breath trying to control his feeling. 

" Sorry.. I was just jealous sweetie.", he said hardly. 

I believed that a jealousy of a person is very harmful and uncontrollable. And Damon just proved it to me. He turned out as a bias person because of it. And it scared me that he might do something worst.

" Never let your feelings control your actions and decisions in life Damon." I said genuinely. 

Good thing we resolved our fights.  It's not as if I wanted to quarrel with him. I'm just fighting for what is right. He needed to know what's right from wrong. It is just his pride and ego talking.

Hours passes by, and it's now the time for our meeting in the conference hall. I'm nervous, anxious and at the same time feeling excited. It's my first time to attend a meeting of a company, and as a secretary.

Damon holds my hands when he saw me feeling anxious while sitting next to him. 

" Don't be nervous. Just calm, you can do it sweetie.", he's trying to soothe me. 

I just nodded, no rooms for words to be uttered.

" Good afternoon everyone! I am Felicity Centola, the new secretary of our very owned CEO of Mc Company- Mr. Damon McCartny Becket. My pleasure to be here with you.", I started my speech in front of the board members of the company and to the other authoritative person who will be joining this meeting.

I glanced at Damon before I continue to talk. I can feel my legs are trembling but I still manage to stand confidently. I don't wanna be embarrassed and failed my job as a secretary.

" So, first agenda for today is the project proposal of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt.", I said as I raised a one finger for counting the agenda in my fingers. 

The people in the conference hall looked shocked, which made my heart banged in my chest. 

When I looked at Damon, who is suppresing a smile. It was this moment I realize that, I am raising my middle finger to count. I panicked and immediately took it back. I laughed to release the tension I'm feeling and to make the environment more light. 

" I'm sorry everyone. It was a mistake!" 

Then, I continued talking never minding the embarrassment I felt. The fuck you doin' Felicity! I scolded and tortured myself inside of my brain. 

" I don't approve your project Theo. It's expensive, it would cost my company too much, without a certain outcome of it." Damon gave comments on Theo's project proposal about his new designs for houses and condominium units. 

I can see majority of the board members agreed to Damon's decision. Theo, on the other hand glared at Damon. But when Damon looked at his direction he suddenly smiled and nodded at him. He's weird. 

Theo accept the fact that his project was disregarded. Because it is immeasurable, unrealistic and costly. Though, I think it can still be adjusted. But, Damon as a CEO already decided and was approved by the majority of the board members.

" Let's go.", Damon said as he stood up.

I am still organizing the folders used, and I still have to turn off the projector. So, it's better to refuse. 

" You can go Damon. I still have to finish everything here." I responded, without looking at him.

He hugged me and whispered to my ear.

" I will just wait for you in the office." I nodded my head, and he left the hall. 

There are still some people inside the hall chatting with each other. I saw Theo walking towards my direction. 

" Hello", I greeted him when went near me.

" Hi Felicity. Where's Damon? Probably left you huh?", he speculated. A part of me is hating this guy, but since he is Damon's childhood friend, I let it passed and I'm fine with it as long as he will not cross the line for me.

I narrowed my eyes as I looked at him. He's really weird, and he seems too happy for a broken hearted guy that he is. 

" I let him go first. I'm still finishing up the  things here.", I answered him back. 

He is still gawking at me and with a grin plaster on his face. I was hesitant to looked at him, knowing that his full attention is on me. 

" Be careful.", he warned me. 

I don't know what is he talking about. And what's with the concern? We are not even that close. Is he drunk? On drugs? Or something? Probably it is because he's broken hearted.

" Thanks for the concern. Though I am always careful, and took care of myself. I appreciate your words for me Theo.", I told him which made him shook his head and left without saying anything.

Okay, I understand him. He's just a broken hearted man, who spit words mindlessly. Though, it was a good words coming from him. But, I don't like it, it's like he's giving me a warning of something coming.

" Nevermind.", I murmured to myself. 

I glided my way to Damon's office after I have done my task. 

We spend our time busily, my feet hurts because of the several errands to do.

Damon is busy on his laptop while I was busy validating the last month's report. 

Fuck! This is frustrating me. I'm feeling dizzy just by looking at the reports. It's 5:14 before I finally completed it. My neck hurts. 

" Are you done?", Damon asked as he stepped closer to me.

" Yes, I am.", I answered him back while getting my purse. 

" Let's go then.", he holds my waist and I also snaked my arms on his.

We tiredly walked out from his office. This day is amazingly exhausted.
