Chapter 6

    * Chapter 6 *

    Scrutinizing this, his eyes were burning in animosity to a juncture where he shoved down one of the computers to the floor where it was obliterated due to his force.

    " Well. Alright... I will see how long you can stay here, sooner or later you will give up "

    He was a bit frustrated even after one hour he would leave his pending work for minutes to peek at the girl on the screen who appeared to be reading on web novel. It was at this time he gazed at her long neck, long thick eyelashes, which was visible as he zoomed in and paused the recording.

    It was a stunning angle of her, the lens was at the bridge of her nose that he could see her cerulean blue eyes

    " It can not be her "uttered Xander, caressing the picture on the screen.

    ' Knock _

    The loud knock on the door made him snap out of his daydreaming.

    It was Kira, " Boss, Mr. Feng has arrived for the meeting "

    His arrogant and oppressive aura resurface replacing the soft look in his eyes" Send him in and don't serve even water to the lady outside "

    " Sure " after all it was something that pleased her so she secretly smiled.

    Done with the chocolate bar, Val watched people walk in and out of the office corresponding to the clock ticking.

    It was now five in the evening and the meeting was still going on.

    Not only was she hungry this time but thirsty too. She stared at the camera and smiled faintly leaving for the elevator.

    Back in the office, Xander had gotten a deal signed with a partner from abroad. He went to check through the monitors but she was not there

    " She left. Good, she can not work in this company" he murmured getting back to his work, however, on his way to leave, the corners of his eyes noticed a figure on the lobby couch.

    " It could not be ..."

    Valeria returned with a liter of water and a packet of snacks eating happily.

    This hit him so hard he could not breathe properly, his face became red and his heartbeat increased. In a struggle, he took out the inhaler from his pocket. He inhaled the air to moderate his heartbeat.

    Time passed by quickly and unknowingly became 10pm.

    "Boss everyone has left...are you going to spend the night in the office?"

    Without raising his head, Xander spoke coldly. " I need to tie some loose ends "

    The latter nodded vigorously before leaving.

    " See you tomorrow "

    He bypassed the girl in the lobby who had fallen asleep.

    Next, Xander wrapped up some of his work till it was midnight. Surprisingly she was still there, sleeping!

    " Sleeping? You are so stubborn Val" He stared at the monitor with a blank mind.

    'Splash '

    Water ran down her face. Valeria abruptly stood up, wiping the water off her face.

    " You.."

    " Yes me.." he threw a thick filet on her thighs.

    " Get that done. It will be needed at 8 am"

    Upon hearing this, Val raised a brow

    " I got the job?"

    " What do you think? "he replied , walking away.

    It was something she could not believe. The stubborn man gave her the job, it was fishy but she brushed it off and could not wait to share the good news with madam.

    " I got the job. Yes!" she jumped repeatedly, clapping in excitement.

     It was something she could not believe. The stubborn man gave her the job, it was fishy but she brushed it off and could not wait to share the good news with madam.

    This almost made her forget how hungry she was, the snacks were not enough.

    She took a glance at her watch and saw it was 3 am and this new boss has given her work to do.

    " You probably should do it in the office where the WiFi is quickest. It will be needed in 5 hours. Going off luck" with a few words, Xander locked his office door to wrap up the rest of his work - since he was surprisingly slow check on somebody all the time.

There was a mini office by her right in the lobby, so she moved in and began her work diligently. It was at first difficult to understand with all the business grammar and mathematics but it was not a problem G****e could not fix.

    The file did not only have mixed calculations of the company's balance sheets but grammar mistakes too. She spent the night glaring at the screen copying the file into a soft copy - into the computer - before working on the problems.

    In his office, once in a while, he would check on her in between his work before he dozed off on his chair.

    The mistakes in the file were ridiculous.

    " Is this not supposed to be the biggest and best company in the city? Why are there so many mistakes in this file? He’s an arrogant man and without me he wouldn’t be able to finish this job before morning"

    It was morning. Xander had gone home to change and when he returned to the office, he found Val sleeping on the computer, he was greatly satisfied by this. So he cleared his throat ready to reprimand her, she can't finish the work in less than six hours while others did in three days. This will blame her efficiency and he would fire her. In all, he was in a good mood.

    " Mom thinks she is too smart. Only I know the real reason why mom sent you here "

    Fixing his tie, Xander took a few steps forward. He tapped on her shoulder.

    " Wake up the meeting is in two hours"

    " Huh " she flew up like one bitten by a snake. This reminded him of her time in the cell when she would be harshly shaken before being thoroughly beaten.

    " Oh..my sorry. I will get it ready "

    She had drooled over the computer in her sleep. Her cheeks was flushed in embarrassment as she wiped it using a shawl she always keeps in her bag.

    " Here you are sleeping when there is so much work to do. How can you be so…"

    " Before raising your voice give me a chance to speak " she pressed three buttons and the hard copies were printed out by the printing machine.

    Walking towards the machine she grabbed the hot copies and took a deep breath as a wide smile spread on her small thin red lips.

    " See? I’m all done. I always deliver!"

    Having nothing more to say, he only gritted his teeth. This girl seemed to be a difficult lentil to boil, however, it was only a matter of time before he would kick her out of this company.

    " Good " the passive aggressiveness was imminent in his voice.

    It was at this time she noticed the bag in his hand. Noticing her gaze he handed it over with a livid face.

    " For me?" she asked excitedly, placing the copies on the table.

    " Get ready "

    To this, she smiled in victory. Xander had been a few steps away when she yelled

    " Where should I change?"

    " Use my office," he replied emotionlessly.

    This did not go well with Valeria, she bit her nail in thought.

    " His office? "

    Why do she need to change in his office? What if he walks in on her, no way!

    Packing at things she headed for the public bathroom when she came across her thoughts.

    " This is a public bathroom. What if someone walks in on me? Now I will have to choose between him and this office plus he probably has a shower in his office. The boss might have suggested it because he understood I needed a bath."

    Turning back she entered his office with the card he gave her yesterday for becoming his secretary.

    The office was spacious as expected with a porch, table, and a magnificent view of the busy city from the french windows.

    After taking her bath, she wiped herself with the mini towel which she keeps with her since forever.

    The dress she was given was a round-neck white knee-length gown, a pair of heels, and diamond earrings to match. It was classy and she liked it very much.

    This seemed off to Valeria, why would he spend so much on a simple secretary perhaps madam insisted on it. Thinking of this, a smile formed on her lips.

    " Thank you madam"

    After her light make-up, she walked out smiling.

    " You.."

    In the room was the janitor, he stood still mouth open.

    " I can explain...it is not what you think"

    In the past, she had been in a similar situation and everyone thought she was sleeping with the owner of the coffee plantation. So she needed to clear it immediately.

    The janitor bobbed with a smile but she knew he did not believe her.

    " Would you believe her, the secretary changes in her boss's office and wears a dress which costs a million dollars plus the three million dollars diamond jewelry. I saw it on the runway worn by that famous actress. "Explained the janitor to his congregation of six.

    Little did they know Kira heard them. She gritted her teeth "No wonder he took her for his secretary. Boss has four male Personal assistants. Why would he need her? She seduced him…!"

    In City B, Xander was known for having only male Personal assistants, his affair with Olivia was not revealed and people have surmised he was gay. Thus, what is so special about this girl that he spent a total of five million on her clothing?
