All Chapters of The Billionaire's Secretary. : Chapter 51 - Chapter 56

I arrive back at the company’s premises pissed out of my mind and ready to unleash hell. My smart watch reads five forty–not an unusual time for Neal to still be at the office.Luckily for me, I don’t have to waste time re-entering the building; Neal walks out of the entrance and towards the garage. His jacket is slung over his arm and he carries a leather briefcase. I fume as I watch him stroll so casually after he just upended the lives of innocent people. “…you mean you lost your wallet?” He’s talking on the phone. Most probably to Louis.“Let me get this straight; you got blackout drunk at a yacht party and lost your wallet? I’m sorry to break it to you but you were…”“Neal Ward!”He jumps and turns to his right to see marching towards him. He taps the small back buds in his ear, “I’ll call you back… Yes it’s Star… Tell her that yourself.”He removes the earbuds and I see an emotion flash across his face. Guilt, most definitely. “You bastard!” I seethe, stabbing a fin

The next day at work, I head upstairs to Neal’s office for the first time without being summoned. My eyes feel heavy and I rub at them.
