10. The Devil's Personal Secretary
This woman was entirely different from the woman I saw for the past two days. I could see that she adores her daughter more than anything in this world.
Maybe she was not all that she let people see.
"I won't be taking her next weekend, I'll be busy." The guy informed my lady boss, nodding at the little girl in her arms.
"No problem," she tried to remain expressionless but I could see right through her eyes that she was pleased about it.
"Bye, bye, daddy." The little girl waved at the guy. He must be my boss' husband.

Adeline's Pov~
Without Arsenio, my apartment looked dreary and forlorn. I didn't realize that his presence was the closest to having a family since my granny's death. I think I would be missing his tease, laughter, and companionship from my boring, everyday life.
I was standing in front of the devil's hell. Today I'll be officially taking the position of J

The Girl We Desire 11. He was Hard
We arrived at some snobbish-looking restaurant. It looked spectacular; probably the food here costs more than my monthly pay. The people looked so swanky, the men wore suits while the women were adorned with diamonds and embellished clothes. I looked down upon my attire and realized that I was acting like a man. I looked at my temporary boss; he was talking to the manager of this restaurant. As soon as the manager heard his name, he visibly shook and escorted us personally to our booth. A middle-aged man and a woman with blond hair in her early thirties were already there. Once they saw him, they stood up and greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Jedrick, I hope you're doing fine." The man greeted him by shaking his hand with the devil. The woman just gave a slight bow at him as a sign of respect and gave me a small smile, which I returned immediately. "Yes, thank you. Please have a seat, Mr. Montgomery." My boss told Mr. Montgomery. He almost looked norma
The Girl We Desire 12. The Devil was Tempting
That night I went to my bed at half-past eleven, feeling extremely exhausted. Thankfully no one discovered my gender yet, with that thought in mind, I settled on my bed and closed my eyes. My phone pinged with notification. I ignored it and raised my comforter to my nose. I felt like I was floating on clouds. My phone pinged with another notification, making me groan. Come on, give me a break, I was exhausted to my bones. I rolled on my stomach and reached for my phone. My eyes were drooped due to sleepiness. I opened my phone and my eyes stung with the little light that emitted from its screen. I usually put my phone in a dark mood and today was no exception but still, it affected my eyes. After my eyes got adjusted to the light, I opened the message clumsily. It was from my dear boss, it read, *Mr. Sandros, As my personal secretary, I expect you to be at my home, sharp at six O'clock every morning, to organize my morning rou
The Girl We Desire 13. Why was my life like this?
I could see his defined muscles underneath his see-through shirt. It looked like it was carved out of white marble. I took the tie and stood on my toes to tie it around his neck. I could feel his hot breath fanning my cheeks. I was breathing through my mouth to calm down my racing heart. I looked up and his eyes were solely focused on my face. I had a feeling that he was trying to study my reaction and trying to observe my face. I diverted my eyes to his neck instantly and tied it around it with perfection. I was a sucker for a guy's neck. I knew it sounds weird but I'm telling you this, he had the most beautiful neck. His neck was naturally protruding with veins, not too much, just the right amount to make it look gorgeous. It looked so strong and masculine. I could see three beauty spots on his neck, and his, Adam's apple was well defined. God! I sounded like a pervert. Adeline, focus on what you were here for, he was your enemy. He was in the mafia
The Girl We Desire 14. A Storm was Rising
I was printing some copies for the meeting that would be held this evening, the soft sound of the printer working, filled the room. Suddenly, someone entered the room with the door screeching. I turned around and it was the brunette from the reception. Her face lit up seeing me; she gave me a polite smile and entered the room with a stack of papers in her hand. "Mr. Sandros, right?" she queried me and went near an unoccupied printer. "Yes," I nodded my head in confirmation. She seemed like a good person maybe we could be friends. "What is your first name again?" she asked me all of a sudden and started to make copies of her papers. "Reynold, Miss…" I trailed and I realized she hadn't given me her name. Her eyes widened as if, she had forgotten something. "Oh! My goodness, I haven't introduced myself. I am Betty Fernandez." She rushed out and I could see her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. I laughed at her cuteness and waved her off,
The Girl We Desire 15. Torturing the Torture
"Rehor! Happy seeing you, it has been a long time since I met you." The redhead chirped, there was a taunting smile on her face. She must be Ms. Knight, I thought to myself. I scanned the room for Arsenio and he was standing at the far corner to my right. There were also two other bodyguards in the room. They all were standing so close to the wall as if, they were the shadows. Arsenio's gaze shifted to me and he looked taken aback by my presence. Well, that was expected, I never told him about my job or anything about me, for a matter of fact. He scanned my entire body up and down which made my body, left tingling. He raised his eyebrows at me as if, he was questioning 'So this was why you were purchasing men's clothes ' I shrugged my shoulders at him and concentrated on my boss who was busy grinding his teeth. I was grateful that Arsenio didn't approach me. There were only seven people in this room. My boss and I on one hand, on the other hand, stood, Ms. Kn
The Girl We Desire 16. Dealing with the Goons
I literally dragged myself to his room and yawned. My eyes felt so droopy and all I wanted to do was to lay on my fluffy bed and sleep. I entered his room with the sound of his door creaking open. He looked up at me and motioned me to come near his desk. He observed me for a while without saying a word. I probably looked like shit, and the suit I was wearing was suffocating me. And on top of that, I had to wear this bloody tie around my neck! I couldn't understand how these men were wearing these kinds of suits all day without breaking a sweat. But I had to admit that guys look much better in suits than in any clothes. The price you pay to look good! If I hadn't needed to pretend like a man, then, I would be wearing a shirt and a skirt which was so comfortable and airy. I don't even wear a camisole, just my bra, and panties, underneath my clothes. "Let's go home, Mr. Sandros." He stated out of the blue after analyzing me from top to bottom.
The Girl We Desire 17. Me? A Fat Chipmunk?
We both were swallowed by the dark greenery of whispering trees and unknown beasts that were lurking in the shadows. I could hear the crunching sound of crusted leaves beneath our feet as we ran on them. My heart was pounding hard against my ribcage. I could feel the thugs trailing behind us. The cold night wind nipped my exposed skin as we both ran. There were numerous trees and we had to run in zigzag to avoid bumping into one. It was so dark and the light from the moon and stars were dappled by the trees. The bullets were rained upon us, my feet protest against me but my grip on the devil's hand was firm as if, he would protect me from these thugs. I was breathing hard and my lungs squeezed painfully. My throat felt dry and painful as if, I ate sand. I felt thirst and in desperate need of water. My eyes stung from exhaustion and pain. I stopped running, pulling my hands away from my boss, and rested them on my knees panting heavily. "Mr. Sandros, c
The Girl We Desire 18. Chipmunk in Trouble
"I know." "You are staying in my mansion today." He replied coolly without looking at me. My eyes widened at his response. "But, si…" I tried to protest. "No more buts, Mr. Sandros." He shut me with his raised palm. What the fuck was going on here? I was in deep shit. Could this day get any worse? He looked so relaxed and lay back on his seat while I was full on panicking with this new situation. Why was my life like this? We reached his mansion in a flash and before I knew it, I was standing in my allotted room which was next to his bedroom. What was I supposed to do now? The chance of getting exposed was so high when I stay the night here. I could not sleep here. What about my wig? I didn't even have the glue to stick my wig if it comes undone. Not to mention that I was a messy sleeper. I was doomed and I was exhausted to my bones. The bed looked so soft and inviting, all I wanted to do was get off my clothes and jump
