The C.E.O.'s Secret

The pungent aroma of freshly brewed coffee swirls in the air, filling my nostrils as I cross the threshold of the Café where I always bought breakfast for my co-workers. This is my daily routine, and I’m used to it. My breathing was heavy as I stopped in front of our office. Thankfully, the things I had brought were not spilled because of the strenuous running I just did earlier.I gave the coffee to my co-workers, and they happily thanked me. I am pleased because somehow, I am helping them."Scarlet, can you please throw away my garbage here?""Scarlet, please photocopy this document. Thanks!""Scarlet, can you please clean my desk?"That's what I heard in the office. Sadly, they only remember me when they requested things from me."Scarlet, can you please throw this away?" one of my co-workers requested. "Mine too, Scarlet.""All right. " I smiled at them and then picked up their trashes. I heard some giggles, and then they thanked me. As I was throwing the trash into the bin, so

I woke up early because it was my first day being the Executive Secretary to our Boss. I was a little bit anxious but excited.Aira and I entered the office together. Gossips of our co-workers enveloped our ears."Do you know that the CEO will announce who will be promoted here with us?" one of my co-workers blurted."I'm excited to know who's the lucky one.""You don't have to ask. Of course, it's me! Who among us was more experienced? I am the only one, right?" Anne answered and flipped her hair.I chuckled in my mind. As if!"They also said that the lucky one will be promoted as the executive secretary!" "OMG! She will have a glimpse to look at our Boss's handsome face every day! How lucky she is!" Anne excitedly whispered."Good morning, everyone!" It was the Executive Secretary who greeted us. We sat at our desk and attentively listened to her."Goodmorning!" we greeted back."I am here to announce the lucky employee who got her promotion today. She will be my replacement as I

Here I am in the bathroom facing the mirror. I closed my eyes in extreme fear and nervousness. That was my first kiss and my boss stole it from me. If he hadn’t been irritating me in the first place, that kiss would never have happened.My tears began to flow down on my cheeks because of disappoinment. I had made a promise to myself that I should give my first kiss to my first boyfriend and it’s broken! I sighed and shook my head so that I could relax. I went out of the bathroom and didn't go straight to the office because it was almost break time so I went straight to Aira's office. I opened the door of her office and saw that she was busy typing on her laptop. She immediately noticed me and turned her head on me. "Oh! Scarlet why are you here? You’re too early, it's not break time yet," she asked with a shock on her face. ."Did something happen?" she asked me again. I blushed because I remembered what happened earlier. "Nothing, I don't have anything to do in my office, that's

With Gio's help, I finished all the tasks that he gave to me. I don't understand why he's still helping me. I thought that this was a punishment? I don't really get what he wanted but nevermind. "Sir..."He was currently sitting at his table and was busy fiddling with his laptop. He turned around and raised an eyebrow at me. "Just call me Gio, I already told you, didn't I?" he asked. I nodded at him. Until now it's kinda awkward for me calling him by his name. But the question that has been running through my mind for a while was, "Does he likes me? Why was he so nice to me?" "Gi-Gio," I called him again. "Yes, Scarlet?" I was terrified when I heard his deep voice. I was aroused by hearing him calling my name. First name basis eh? That thoughts made me shake my head."Why are you so nice to me?" I asked not looking at him. He was stunned by what I said and frowned. "You're asking me why I am nice to you? It's because you know my secret, Scarlet. Maybe if I'm cruel to you, you'

I didn't hear what he said. "What?" Gio was still close to me. I'm a little lost because of the rapidly pounding in my chest. He chortles softly. " I said they're already here, Tom and Aira. Let's go?" He looked at the two people walking towards the rest house. I chuckled when I saw Aira stomping because she wanted to take her suitcase from Tom but he just avoided it. "They are compatible, aren't they?" I asked. "We are much better..." I turned at him my cheeks turned red when he winked at me. I hit his arm softly and chuckled. " Mr. CEO, You're so corny!" I exclaimed and started running down to meet Aira and Tom. When I got close to them, I put my arm around Aira's shoulder. "How was the trip, BFF? Did you enjoy it?” I asked teasingly. She was so tired, I guess based on her facial expression. “I did not enjoy it!” she said. I just laughed at what she said, I know that somehow she enjoyed it. He has a crush on Tom. We went inside and I saw that Gio had just come down the stairs
