Chapter 4

I forgot what I was going to say. I tried to utter words but my tongue betrayed me.

He saw me? Talking to Jake? But in my defense, I wasn't flirting with him! In fact, I didn't talk to him that much. We just greeted each other and he hugged me! My eyes became bigger. Wait, was he referring to that hug?

"Answer me! Do you like that guy, huh?" His voice gave me shivers down to my spine and I smell his perfume suffocated my breath.

"I wasn't flirting with him, sir. And I didn't like him." I explained. Do I really need to explain this? Maybe, yes, because I was late.

His eyes narrowed. Oh god. He looks so hot. I bit my lip when he gestures his hand and indicated the desk at my side, besides his table.

"That's your desk. Go, arrange the papers and prepare my schedule for this week and start your work, as my secretary." He said before turning right and went back to his swivel chair. "And remember, don't be late tomorrow or you'll be fired." He warned before sitting.

I nodded and said my thank you before going to my desk. I don't have any experience about this but I already researched so I think, I can handle this. I can make it.

I wasn't comfortable when I started working because on my peripheral vision, I knew he was looking at me. Not to mention, he was staring for too long!

I started typing at my computer provided by him and ready his schedule. According to the paper I have here, he has a meeting at 1:00 pm with Mr. Zamora and at 3:00 pm, he needs to attend the opening ceremony for Mrs. Gamboa's company.

I was about to continue on typing when I notice that he is still looking at me. I looked at him and moved my eyes and smiled a bit. "Do you need anything, sir?" I asked politely.

He seriously looked at me and put his right hand below his chin. "Just give me coffee." He said it in low voice.

I nodded and stood up. I went outside and turned right. They have their own coffee maker here on every floor so I don't have any problem bringing one for him.

After a minute, I went back to the office and I saw him already sleeping at his desk. Is he tired? Maybe he is because he is seriously busy with his work. I pouted. And you even came late, Cashedy! You need to be guilty right now for doing that. I promise that tomorrow, I won't be late anymore.

I left the coffee he ordered at the side of his table. I suddenly looked at him peacefully sleeping.

He has long eyelashes and thick black eyebrows. He has pointed perfect nose that everyone would dream of. He has perfectly define the jawline and pink lips that seem so natural. From a moment, there's an urge at me that want to kiss him!

I erased my thoughts and return to my desk. That's not right. How can I possibly fascinate my own boss here?

Wait, does he have a girlfriend? Or even fiance? He could be possibly married, too! Oh my god, I really need to stop thinking from it right now. I need to work.

I came back working and when the lunch came, he is still sleeping. I stood up and went to his desk. I saw his name attached to the desk.

Mr. Dashnell Raff Peterson. And at the bottom, it says 'the owner of Peterson Company'. His name is awesome too! I can't get rid of knowing how old is he right now! No, what age he is. He doesn't look old.

I almost startled when he opened his eyes and smirk. My mouth instantly hangs open because of the sudden move.

"Do you like the view?" He teasingly asked. Shit! This is embarrassing! He caught me looking at him while he's sleeping! Argh!

"Uhm..." I couldn't say anything so I just turned my back and started walking to getaway.

"You." He said. "Stop and have lunch with me." He continued. What? Is he serious?!

I rotated myself to look at him. He is now standing and he doesn't look joking at all. He wants to have lunch with me?

Maybe, he is this really kind among his all secretary before? Yes, maybe he just really being kind. And maybe, he only wants someone to be together with him while eating.

"Si--"

"Don't ever refuse. It wasn't an invitation either. You can't say no to me, Cashedy." He slowly said while looking directly at me.

"How was your first day, Flaire? Was it good?" Aunt asked. I am sitting on the chair while waiting for the food she's preparing for us tonight.

My cheeks heated up when I remember what happened earlier. We actually did lunch together! It wasn't as if we eat at an expensive restaurant but hey, it was still lunch. And for your info, he's my boss.

"It was good, Ta. The work wasn't that hard and our boss doesn't have a bad attitude too." I said.

"I think you like your boss!" Gina entered the scene and sat beside me. "Excuse me?" I exclaimed to her and pouted my lips. "You're very assuming! You haven't even seen him yet." I added, as a matter of fact.

She narrowed her eyes. "If I know, he is very hot. What's his name, anyway? And what are you? You are the oh so-called secretary!" She laughed and I felt something on her voice and I wasn't that innocent for me to not recognize what she was about to say.

"Gina, I'll remind you that I am only eighteen, turning nineteen this month, and turning twenty next year so whatever your thinking right now, better crop it out because I wasn't thinking the same," I said, almost panting.

She raised her hands telling I surrendered.

"Okay? You're too defensive, sis. You don't look eighteen, though. I mean, you look so gorgeous and look 20 something and up!" She said and stands up to help aunt prepare our dinner for tonight.

"I don't need a relationship, cous and for your info, he is my boss." I validated. She shrugged and put the rice in the middle of the dining table. "You know, a boss with benefits." She giggled at her own thoughts. Tell me, is she really seventeen?! God!

"Gina! Don't tell me you have your boyfriend now?" Aunt joined the conversation and it's my turn now to laugh because the topic was diverted to her.

"I don't have any boyfriend." She complained. I teased her until we both stopped and started eating.

I am very thankful that I have them. They're such blessings for me and I love them so much.
