Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Curvy Secretary, His Ruin: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

NATHAN POVI read the same line on the document for the third time. That was when I knew that my attention span was shit.Nothing made sense anymore, the report from the finance department was not getting any better. And every solution I came up with seemed to lead to another problem.I leaned back in my chair, as I took a sip of scotch. The liquid burned in my tongue, and I swallowed hard. The day had moved so fast and I believed Kiki was avoiding me all day. Ferdinand offer still bored in mind, he wanted Kiki. Should I give up the grant to him? Crazy. He would use that grant money to buy my company. Which ever way, I couldn’t let him have my secretary or the grant.As much as I wanted to focus on my pending tasks, my mind continually trailed to how dull Kiki had been during the day. After all the workers dismissed at 5pm, I was still on my desk as usual working late and now it was 9pm I had to head home. Not home exactly—the club, I needed to clear my mind, drink some alcohol,

NATHAN POV “Why are you two in the dark?” Harry’s voice reverberated through the red, dimly lit server room. His gaze moved between Kiki and me, taking in how close we were sitting and the blanket we shared. “The security team asked us to be here, for safety—the power went down,” I spoke first. Harry arched a brow, looking between us as if not convinced by what I had said but that was the only explanation I was going to give him. He couldn’t know that he had walked in on his sister and me almost kissing. “I understand the power is out but why is Kiki working late?” Harry asked, his face pinched with confusion as he glanced from me to his sister. “I wanted to clear all pending tasks against tomorrow,” Kiki scoffed. “We have a social media campaign that kicks off tomorrow, and I needed to make sure everything was done today before the product developers arrive.” Kiki explained naturally, and it made Harry’s expression lighten a little. “Man, hope you are not making my sist

NATHAN POV I pushed aside the document I was supposed to finish before midnight. “Tech date, my ass. I’m done.” I was done pretending like I was actually absorbing anything in the paper. My mind just kept trailing back to the fact that Kiki was out on a date with Dylan Cruz. After everything I had done to make her stay a little longer, and possibly cancel the date. My phone rang, tearing through my thoughts. “Hello, Fiona.” “Hey, Nathan—I know you are still at your office, but I need your help.” “If it’s anything relating to my father, no, I can’t.” “Chill, it isn’t,” she chuckled like I had cracked a joke. “What do you need help with, then?” “Well, I am kind of in a fix right now. The designer for the wedding gown just called…” I pinched the bridge of my nose, closed my eyes, and listened to Fiona yap. “…I have to pick up the gown tonight, but I am busy. Can you help me pick it up?” “Does it have to be me?” I asked. “What about Tracy, your assistant?” “Well, I want you

NATHAN POVI had a crazily insane confidence that Kiki didn’t just want me to sit far away, staring at her.So I stood to my feet. Yes, somehow, I was going to get to her table and take her away from Dylan.But it didn’t go as planned when Kiki started walking in my direction, her eyes focused on mine.The next thing I knew, she was pressed against my chest, her lips locked with mine.Much more than I expected, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way, especially with that music playing through our headphones.Kiki made to pull away from me, but my hands tightened around her. I bit her lips softly. I wasn’t done yet, but I also didn’t want to hold her against her will.Kiki giggled softly between our kisses, then reality hit me.She was my best friend’s younger sister, my employee, and the woman I had been trying not to want.I reluctantly broke the kiss and lowered her to her feet.She looked behind me before turning to face me.“Don’t turn your head. Dylan is behind us,” she whisper

KIKI POVAnother Monday at the office, but every memory of that night was still fresh.The kiss, the way Mr. Montgomery had held me, then his sudden coldness.Would he mention that night? Did he think about it a little too much, like I did over the weekend?Dylan hadn’t called since that night, not that I was expecting him to do so anyway.I blinked my eyes to snap out of dreamland and back to reality.My office door swung open, and Stacy walked in.“How is it going being secretary?”“Good morning to you too, Stacy,” I responded.She looked around the office before picking up the picture frame on the desk. “I see you settled in well.”“I did.” I stood to my feet, taking the picture frame from her and setting it on the desk.“Well, the proposal pitch has been moved. It’s in thirty minutes now.”Why did she have to be the one to tell me instead of Mr. Montgomery? Was he avoiding me?“Okay, I will get prepared for it.”“No, you won’t.” Stacy sneered. “Nobody cares about your opinion. You
