The Secretary Novels & Stories

Shawn sat at his table, eyes fixated on Cheryl as she chatted with an unknown man at the far end of the restaurant. He stood up, intending to walk over to her when his lawyer, Sam, stopped him in his tracks. "He's here, boss," Sam said, his voice urgent. Shawn frowned, his attention still on Cheryl. "What?" "Boss, his secretary is here," Sam repeated, gesturing to a smartly dressed lady in her twenties who had just walked into the restaurant.

"I'm Karis, Karis Ilobi. Would you please warn St. James that I am entering his office in the next two minutes. That should give him enough time to affect whatever appearance he wants, he seems to be a fan of appearances." The secretary smoothed her hair, trying to compose herself. "Yes of cause Mr. Ilobi and you didn't have to introduce yourself, I already know who you are, I'm a huge fan -- not that I.... What I mean is --" The secretary stopped and looked up to find him watching her with mild amusement.

I dared her "No sir" she replied "I thought the same" I headed toward my office, before realizing someone was occupying Aurora space. A petite woman possibly approaching her late 20's. "Who is she?" I asked "I'm your new personal secretary" she replied "I didn't ask you, you don't speak unless you are spoken to" "Miss Collins" I called out "Yes sir" "Who is she?" I inquired "She's the new secretary you asked me to find" "What's her name?"

"What... What are you doing here?" Scarlett was stunned. The secretary remained calm and replied, "I came to pick up something for President Gray I need to get back to the office, so I'll be leaving now." After speaking, the secretary walked out, casting a subtle glance at Scarlett before quickly heading downstairs. Scarlett frowned. Although she felt something was off, she didn't think too much about it. After all, the person was Wayne's secretary. Entering Wayne's office was probably like being at home, right? So, entering his room should be understandable too?

He looked rich and handsome from behind. “I…” Just as I was about to speak, he turned around, and my eyes widened in shock and disbelief at the sight of who it was. “Who are you and why are you in my office unannounced?” His deep voice growled, sending electrifying waves down my body. How was it that I was standing before the almighty Brian Hill, President of Sierra Cure Pharmaceutical, and feeling drawn to him as my second-chance mate? I trembled. “I am… I am Alicia Harries, your new secretary.” I bowed my head briefly.

Every other person had dispersed back to their posts. “Good morning Sir. I’m Lynnette Parker, your secretary.” I introduced myself, speaking in short sentences. His expression was unclear as he raised his head from his computer screen. His stern eyes locked with mine, but he gave me no acknowledgment or even a smile. Wait. Did he not recognize me? My mind raced with a million ideas, but I managed to narrow it down. “Do you need anything, sir?” "No," he shot back condescendingly, his powerful voice cold and emotionless as he waved me off.

Then I sigh wearily, “Stop calling me that.” “What? Sloppy?” “Boss,” I croak, my vocal cords momentarily fried by the scalding liquid, “We can’t have Mr Ward thinking I’m about to usurp him.” Henry snickers, “That’s a stretch but alright. Something is bothering you.” “No shit.” “Care to share?” I open my mouth to tell him not to worry when my office landline rings. “Head Secretary’s office,” I drawl into the receiver. “Good morning, Miss Griffin.”

I told myself I was just organizing paperwork, but when I opened the shared finance directory and clicked on a folder Elias had flagged two weeks ago, I found a draft memo. To: Board of Directors, Rourke Holdings From: Elias Rourke, CEO Subject: Executive Secretary Transfer – Chloe Hart Reason: To support Rourke London transition initiative (Q3). Effective: TBD. I stared at the screen. My name. My title. A transfer I hadn’t requested, discussed, or agreed to. No context. No warning. And no idea whether Gavin knew. The lights in the office buzzed above me. My breath turned shallow. And behind me, the glass door clicked softly shut.

When I arrived, a secretary immediately greeted me. "Good afternoon, how may I help you, Miss?" the woman asked politely. I took one look at her and immediately knew that Sean's secretary was also a workaholic and very unlikely to be involved with the man's nightlife. "I'd like to see your boss. He's inside, right?"

Sophia's POV When I heard the woman, I was very shocked. How could that man assign me to such a high level? An assistant secretary was someone who would assist the secretary. It was a position that offered a very high salary. In actuality, it was of great value in the field of employment. In the end, the person would be the assistant secretary of the CEO, not any manager's assistant secretary. "Hello? Are you listening, Miss Berge?" I heard Lily's voice again.
