Chapter 6

Just like yesterday, I wake up early and arrived at Peterson's Company at exactly 7:40 am in the morning. Paul greeted me when he saw me and I still can't get over why Jake got lost his job. What could be the problem? Did he do something wrong that makes Sir Dashnell mad? As far as I remember, he is working here already for years.

When I entered the office, I saw him naturally sitting and doing something in front of his laptop. Maybe he is preparing for his upcoming meetings and appointments.

"Good morning, sir." I greeted him. He only nodded as a response and continue what he's doing. He's that busy? He didn't even look at me.

I sat on my chair and started to work. The atmosphere is really silent. No one is talking. I even heard my own heartbeat because of the sudden silence between us. I pouted. Why is he like this? Is he mad? Or maybe he is just stress. Yes, that could be the reason.

"What's my schedule for today?" He asked that finally breaks the silence. I get my folder and find his schedule for today. I silently smiled because thanks to God, he is now speaking.

"Sir, you have an appointment meeting with Mr. Chua at 10:30 am. That's the only appointment you have to attend for today, sir." I recited.

He nodded but he didn't look at me at all. What's his problem? Is he mad at me? I mean, yesterday, he wasn't here and I felt so lonely and right now, he was here but he wasn't talking so it feels I'm lonely again. Argh! He's so strange.

But Cashedy, why are you even thinking of having a conversation with him when your role here is to be his secretary? Act like his secretary. And besides, it doesn't require you to talk that too much with him!

"So, I have a vacant. What if, we go outside and have our lunch there?" He suddenly said. He doesn't look talking to me because he was looking at his laptop. But for some reason, I felt my heartbeat started raging abnormally.

I coughed and looked behind me to see if there's someone here except me. And it's very dumb of me because it's very obvious that we're only alone here. "Where do you want to eat?" He asked again and this time, I'm sure he is talking to me because he is looking to my eyes.

"Are you asking me, sir?" I asked out of nowhere instead of answering his question. He frowned. What am I doing?!

"Yeah. So?" He impatiently asked. "Anywhere, sir," I said because I am not really sure where to eat here.

"Let's eat at my favorite restaurant, then." He said and started typing again.

I need to concentrate to breathe properly after that conversation with him. It wasn't that conversation I was asking for!

My heart keep on beating fast and I can feel I'm too close on exploding. What is happening to me?

The feeling I am feeling right now is completely new and different to me. I... I felt it hard.

I started doing my work again even though my hands are shaking. I never tried to look at him again because the feeling was uncontrollable.

I halted on typing when my phone beeped inside my pocket. I reached for my phone and I noticed on the screen that someone is calling. I swiped up to know who is calling and its unregistered number.

I frowned and tap the answer button. I stood up and looked at Sir Dashnell who's looking at me to excuse myself. I went outside and put my phone in my right ear.

"Hello, Cashedy." My lips parted when I heard it. The caller's voice seems familiar and I think he knows me.

"Who is this?" I asked confusedly. As far as I remember, I don't have any other contacts here except for Aunt and Gina. They are the only people I'm contacting. And I never gave my number to anyone.

"It's Jake. Don't you remember me?" He asked and I hint a little sadness of his voice. My eyes get bigger when he said his name.

"Oh my god, Jake! Where are you? And how did you get my number?" I asked excitedly. Is he here? I want to talk to him again. He seems a nice guy!

I heard him chuckled. "I'm here in the cafeteria and I got your number through your profile resume. Do you want to go here? Let's lunch?" He explained and then asked.

I stiffened. Wait, is he asking me for lunch? My heart started to beat faster when I remember that my boss was also asking me too!

"I would also want to have lunch with you but..." I paused and find for words. "Let me talk to my boss first. Is it fine with you?" I asked uncomfortably. I did not offend him, right?

"Why do you need to ask permission to your boss?" He asked. I bit my lips because I don't know what to say.

"It's because..." I got startled when someone talks to me on my behind.

"Who's that?" I glance at my back and I saw my boss standing there, looking at me with his notorious expression.

"Are you still there, Cashedy?" I heard Jake asked. I wanted to say yes but I thought I forgot that my tongue was moving.

"I'm asking, didn't I? Tell me, who is that fucking person you're talking to." He dangerously said and I felt shivers. Every words of him were very intact.

He steps forward. "It's Jake, sir." I nervously said. I saw his jaw moving and his face became angry.

"Don't. Dare. Talk. To. Him. Again." He said those words with so much authority that I honestly didn't remember that I had already ended the call.

"S-sir..." The only word I managed to uttered and step backward because he was too near.

"Don't ever make me jealous again, do you understand?"
