The Billionaire's Secretary

Chapter 2: The Billionaire's Secretary

Emily Carter

She walked in her small space still in a daze, as soon as she closed the door behind her, she sat down on the bed

She had a one room apartment, she cooks, sleeps and baths in the same space and its hard to think that soon she will be having a multiple room apartment

She kept on laughing like a maniac by herself " it's a joke right?" She asked out loud to no one in particular and then she shook her head, her phone vibrated once, she looked down at the cracked screened phone and opened the notification

**Dear Emily Carter,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been successfully appointed to a position at Kingsley Enterprises. Congratulations on your employment.

Your start date is scheduled for tomorrow. Upon arrival, please report to the lobby where you will be greeted by Mrs. Smith, who will assist you with your orientation and provide further guidance regarding your schedule.

We look forward to welcoming you to the team and wish you every success in your new role**

She finally breaks into a big smile "Me? Emily Carter? Being Adrian Kingsley's secretary?" She claps her hands once and calls her best friend Cynthia

Cynthia is the only friend she has and the only person who has ever been by her side so she is the only person who she can share these wonderful news with

The phone rings 3 times before it is picked up and immediately she can tell that she is in a noisy place, telling by the noisy background

"I got the job" that's all she says in a excited voice "What? You got the job? How? I mean OMG" Cynthia says and Emily squeals in excitement " I know right?"

"I'll be right there" then she hangs up, Emily looks at her phone after Cynthia dropped the call, the frown on her face clearly states that she is not pleased with this but she doesn't complains or says anything

She gets up from the bed and opened her small closet, she sighs finding what she finds which is exactly what you're thinking... Rags

She thinks hard, Cynthia is wealthy, comes from a very good well off family, maybe she can ask for a loan from her so she can buy new clothes for work? She has never asked anything from Cynthia and since they were little, she has never asked anything from her

She thinks hard, once she gets here she will ask him just for a few dollars, she will pay her back once she gets her first salary

A knock echoes at her door and she gets up from the bed and opens it, she was already expecting Her, by now she has taken a bath and was wearing pyjamas, well not exactly pyjamas but something she sleeps in

Cynthia walks in carrying fried chicken and 2 wine bottles

"Congratulations Bestie!!" She says as soon as she sees Emily, she's smiling too wide... Way to hard, it feels fake but Emily brushes it off... This is Cynthia, her other half, her ride or die

"Thank you Bestie" Emily replies and closes the door behind her and they both take a seat at the bed as Emily had already prepared that she was coming with something, so she put on plastic to protect her bedding

"So tell me, how did it happen?" Cynthia asks and Emily sighs, and opens the bottle of wine and walks over to take 2 glasses but then remembers she has work tomorrow so she just takes one for Cynthia

She tells Cynthia what happend from the bump, to the spit to being hired by the coldest man declared alive

Cynthia is quiet as a mouse as Emily talks, sipping on wine "I never thought you'd get the job" she finally voices out her thoughts... Actually, Cynthia is the one who recommended the job to Emily, in hopes to get her embarassed but she did not expect that she might get the job

This is trouble for her, big trouble

"What's that supposed to mean?" Emily asks, visibly hurt by her friend's words and Cynthia's eyes go wide as she tries to come up with a good explanation "no no, that's not what I meant, what I meant is its been so long since you have been struggling and its hard to believe that you will be living a good life right now, I mean it in a good way" she says and Emily sighs taking a piece of chicken

Cynthia excuses herself outside and Emily nods, She walks out and Emily is left with her own thoughts

How can she says something like that? Isn't she supposed to be her best friend and cheering her on? She thinks about all the times something good happened to her and the way Cynthia reacted

Modelling agencies wanted her left and right and Cynthia always had something to say and she always thought she was just being protective, all of a sudden the calls stopped and here she is now, she passed at the top of her class and Cynthia didn't even congratulate her

She always had an explanation as to why is that, every reaction and every discouraging word, Emily took it as Cynthia being protective of her because she knows better... 'Naaah, she has always been like this, don't overthink it Em' she thought to herself before she could overthink again

The only thing she can think about now is being a Billionaire's Secretary, her? Walking alongside the most feared man in the industry? Yeah life is funny

Cynthia walks in soon after and she's already taking her bags "sorry bestie, something came up, I need to leave" she says and Emily stands up too

"Wait, I have something to ask you please" Cynthia stops at the door and looked back at her "Can you please borrow me a few thousands, I'll repay it with my first payment, I just need some professional clothes to go with?" Her voice goes lower, she isn't used to asking for money

Cynthia sighs "unfortunately Babe, my Dad took my card today because I almost wrecked his credit so I don't have anything" Emily sighs and nods just then there's a knock at the door, Cynthia visibly freezes

Emily frowns, who could that be at this hour of the night, before she walks over, Cynthia beats her to it and opens the door and she locks eyes with the man at the door and just pushes past him and walks out leaving Emily looking at the man at the door

After all this time, why is he here? How did he find her?

"Hello Em" his voice hadn't changed too
