All Chapters of His Curvy Secretary, His Ruin: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

NATHAN POV I returned to my office from a meeting with my associates to find Stacy sitting in my chair. Had she lost her fucking mind? I closed the door and strode towards my desk. Stacy was scrolling through her phone. She glanced in my direction, then froze when she realised I was standing there. I stared at her, my expression hardening as I glanced at the chair beneath her. Stacy scrambled to her feet, almost knocking over the glass plaque on my desk. “I am sorry—” she started, catching the plaque before it fell. She quickly returned it to its position. “What are you doing here?” I asked. “Nathan, your tie is beautiful,” Stacy said with a fake, polite smile. I didn’t want Stacy’s compliment. Kiki had already complimented my tie when I was teasing her in the archive room. “I asked you a question.” I leaned against the edge of my desk, my eyes fixed on her. “Do I need to ask again?” Stacy swallowed. “First off, I want to commend how much work you put into this c

NATHAN POV Harry cracked a joke about the scotch we were sipping, and even though I wasn’t paying attention, I forced myself to laugh. “Why do you think malty scotch tastes so good?” he continued. “I see.” I nodded, but what I was actually seeing was his sister at the other end of the restaurant. Harry had made a reservation at the restaurant just for his birthday, and since Kiki arrived, she had been avoiding me like she didn’t want to share the same space with me. Unfortunately, this was her brother’s birthday, and even though we had to keep things normal, I couldn’t get the thought of touching her out of my head. “Bro, it always tastes so good, doesn’t it?” Harry asked. Damn right, I had to say something besides two syllables and a nod. “Yes, the milky scotch tastes good.” Harry frowned at me. “What the fuck are you saying? We weren’t talking about milky scotch.” Fucking hell. I turned my full attention to him. “I know, man. I’m just comparing it with…the one yo

NATHAN POV Kiki tightened her grip on my hand as I led her through the rooftop greenhouse. Her eyes scanned the lights, the plants, and the decorations. She chuckled, shaking her head as she took everything in. “Did you bring me here to show me a greenhouse?” She stopped at the entrance, covering her mouth with her free hand as she struggled to contain her laughter. “Come in. There’s more for you to see,” I replied, gently inviting her in. Kiki walked through the entrance, looking around instead of looking at me. I had spent hours cleaning the place myself. I wanted to invite her the next day after work, but since we were driving home together, I couldn’t think of a better time than tonight. I shoved my hands into my pockets, suddenly unsure of what to do with them. What if she didn’t like it? Not everyone was a sucker for plants and stuff. I had negotiated deals worth millions without blinking, but there I was, suddenly worried about whether one woman liked a rooftop greenho

KIKI POV I got my first paycheque, and the only thing I could think about was buying clothes, shoes, and bags. Not Jordan’s lawsuit. I mean, the world wasn’t ending, was it? I still had four weeks until the first hearing, and I didn’t have two hundred and fifty dollars sitting in my bank account to handle the lawsuit. Since the money I had couldn’t solve my lawsuit problem, then it was for shopping. “This green dress is really pretty. Don’t you think? I asked, feeling the fabric between my fingers. “What is this sudden new obsession with green?” Taylor scoffed. “Are you suddenly a nature freak?” I rolled my eyes at her. She knew pink was my favourite colour, but somehow, I was now tilting towards green. More green bags, green shoes. In fact, I might actually tint my hair green. “Girl, help me pick more dresses,” I said hurriedly. Taylor smiled. “Your wish is my command. Besides, what do they always say? Customers are always right.” I laughed at that before adding

NATHAN POVThe lie I told sat in my stomach like a stone. Well, it wasn’t exactly a lie, but it wasn’t an answer to the question Kiki had asked either.“Look at that one,” Kiki said, her head still resting on my shoulder as she pointed at the stars.“Do you believe stars carry wishes and grant them?” I asked.“I don’t know.” She shrugged.“Well, I wish moments like this would last forever.”Kiki smiled. “I wish that too—and I wish to get a lot of money as soon as possible.”“We could go rob a bank, together,” I teased.She lifted her head to look at me, a smile spreading across her face. “Can you even use a gun?”“Don’t underestimate me.” I grinned.Kiki smiled, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. Something flashed across her face before she quickly rested her head on my shoulder again.I remembered the lawsuit that I had eavesdropped her talking about with Taylor weeks ago. “Why do you need money as soon as possible, though?” I asked. “Your salary was paid days ago.”“I know, right?
