He's unbelievable!

As soon as I entered his office, I saw him talking to someone while facing the window.

“Yes Hunter, please check that also, thanks man I owe you for this," that's what I heard.

The first thing I noticed was the luxury scent that smells good and I know it was him. His office is a combination of Grey and black colors that looks so manly, there were no other things aside from the black couch, his office table, and a painting.

When he turned around and sighted my presence, the smirk did not go unnoticed. “So, what can I do for you, Ms. Car Scratcher?” he asked while looking at me intently.

“M... Mr. Harris r...requested me to give this to you,” I trailed off as I was uneased.  He twisted his lips and raised his left brow at me without breaking our eye contact.

“I’ll just put it here,” and pointed at his table. “I will go back to my work,” I avoided his gaze and turned towards the door quickly.

However, before I could reach for the knob, he grabbed my left arm. “Do you think, you can easily get out after what you did to my car, huh?!” He gripped my arm tightly but not too much to hurt me.

“I-I’m so sorry Sir,” I stuttered because I got nervous. I didn’t know if it's because I was scared of him or maybe because we're so close.

“H-How much do I need to pay?” I hoped he wasn't thinking of firing me.

“I don’t need your money woman, I have a lot of that," I felt irritated by his words. Conceited!

"But if you insist, it's fine. Pay me fifty thousand grand," he was stern. My eyes widened and shock is an understatement. "Where could I find such an amount?" my mind was baffled. Honestly, I only had 100 dollars in my purse! Jesus!

"What? Fifty thousand grand for a scratch?" I hit back because that was unbelievable.

"My car isn't an ordinary one. It's really expensive that even your year-round salary couldn't suffice" He boasted on my face and I wanted to punch him but I'm afraid I could add another mess.

"I don't have that big amount and certainly can't pay you in an instant," I responded and did my best to stay calm though my blood's burning inside because of annoyance.

He was shaking his head, "Alright, these are your options," and muttered seriously. He clucked his tongue "One- pay me in full or two- follow my orders," and crossed his arms on his chest. I narrowed my eyes because it was impossible for the first one and I had a bad comprehension of the second one.

"What orders? Before anything else, I want it clear that no sexual orders," I emphasized my words just to imply that I'm not that kind of woman if that's what he meant. But he chuckled in return and it added to my anger.

"Miss, I like your character. So brave!" he laughed and I felt like I challenged him.

I took a deep breath, "Now, What do you want me to do?" I was irked but he only pursed his lips with a hint of irony.

He held his chin with his thumb, “Starting tomorrow, you’ll be working here as my secretary," he sounded firm. I was about to retaliate but, "No more questions! I will tell Harris of your new designation," he added hastily and I stilled.

"Now, you can go back to your station to do whatever unfinished errands you have,” he commanded. "He wants me to be his secretary?" I was trying to absorb his order. But on the other hand, that would be a better option than paying him with a hefty amount of money which I couldn't afford.

When I got back to my station, I told Aira and Hailey about what happened. “Whoaaa! you’re so lucky!" Hailey snapped and hit my shoulder lightly. I creased my brows because her reaction was absurd. "Working closely with our hot and yummy boss, that’s heaven, Kelsie!” she screamed and smacked Aira’s shoulder as well.

“So what’s your plan now?” Aira spoke curiously. Since I had no other choices, I told them that I have to accept his offer as I'll be graduating sooner and desperately need the job.

“It’s your chance to be with the hottest man in town,” Hailey giggled which made Aira frowned.

“Can you stop your fantasies? You’re crazy!” Aira rebuked but Hailey as the nuisance friend that we know rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out. Childish!

Before I ended my shift, Mr. Harris reiterated that I will be transferred to the office the next day. He also reminded me of my new work schedule and to always follow the boss’ orders. I just nodded at him and said goodbye. 

Later that night, I couldn't help to think about what will happen to me - about my plans and my studies because of the devil. I’m not certain if I met him before because he looks so familiar, especially with his eyes. My heart hammered fast when I recalled that moment he held my arm, I felt like there’s electricity connected between us.

I wasn't able to sleep well maybe because I overthought. I felt dazed when I woke up that I opted to make a strong coffee and toasted bread for my breakfast. I hurried because my work will start at eight-thirty and I don’t want my devil boss to have a bad impression of me when it comes to doing my job.

I was looking at my cabinet in distress on what to wear for the first day of my office work. I felt like working for him is the worst punishment. I chose my sleeveless black dress above the knee length which I bought at a 90% discount a few months ago in a nearby store. The dress emphasizes the curve of my body as well as the color of my skin. I picked up a cardigan as I might get cold in the office and pulled out my two inches heels before I stepped out of my apartment.

I arrived in the office on time, "Welcome to hell Kelsie!" and leaped out expletives on my mind. I immediately went to my workstation outside of my devil boss's office and arranged all the necessary things. As I was waiting for him, I collected all the questions that I might raise which concern my studies.

 I checked the time and it was already nine in the morning but no sign of devil yet. I was scrolling through a group chat conversation and I couldn't help to laugh about Hailey and Aira's cute fight as they're like cat and dog even in our chatbox. 

It was nearly ten when I realized that no presence of him still. I had no idea where he is and I was like sitting on my chair and guessing if he's coming or not. "How irresponsible!" I murmured as I was pissed.

“Who’s irresponsible, Ms. Miller?"  I instantly closed my phone when I heard his voice. I stood up and saw my arrogant boss in front of me in his usual office suit. Yes, he looks perfect but with a poker face. 

“Nothing Sir, I’m just texting my friend,” I was bewildered that he might know I'm lying.

“What friend? Boy or girl?” he spoke casually and it confused me.

I cleared my throat, “I think it doesn't concern you, Sir,” I told him tryin’ to control the sarcasm in my tone.

“I want to know. Now tell me, who’s that friend of yours?”  He was adamant. I couldn't believe the man. It was only my first day working for him and he’s already giving me frustrations. Damn!

I exhaled heavily, “Are you crazy?! Why should I tell to you? It’s my personal life!” I opposed in furrowed brows.

“Just answer me, Kelsie," he resisted and I sighed. To end the useless conversation, I told him that it was Aira and Hailey. I wanted to tell him that I don’t have any friends aside from those two, but I don’t want to give him any details about the people in my life.

“Good. From now on avoid talking to other men. Keep that in mind” he said with firmness in his voice before proceeding to his office.

I was stunned. "He’s unbelievable!" To say puzzled couldn't even justify.
