Chapter 138
Everyone in the HR Department was busy for the next few days. I’m happy because I feel very welcome in our Team. They are still guiding me.
Until one day Miss Ariyah talked to me.
“Hello, Euphemia. It’s your turn to change your job. Sir Yohann needs you as a Secretary. Come.” she said in a gentle voice. I nervously nodded and followed.
When we got there, Miss Ariyah talked to Sir Yohann.
“Good morning, Sir. Here is Euphemia, your new Secretary. We have taught her what she should do one day. You can count on her.” good recommendation by Miss Ariyah.
“Good. You may go.” I heard a cold baritone voice. My whole being was shocked when I heard that voice of his.
The swivel chair came forward after Miss Ariyah left and I was stunned by the beauty of my Boss. He has thick eyebrows, almond brown eyes, long eyelashes, a sharp nose, a sharp face that suits him perfectly. Red lips and white skin. He stood up and that’s when I realized that he was also very tall. Six inches tall. I felt a little intimidated by his presence.
He slowly approached me with a scary look.
“You are now in my hands, my dear Secretary. I have been looking for you for a long time. You will never be able to let go.” he said in a serious and cold voice.
Sir Yohann turned me over and pressed a kiss. That kiss of his was searching and seemed to be exploring my whole being.
I was surprised by what he did and later inhaled. Is he really like this to the people who work for him? Why did I know something different from what I was witnessing?
I pushed him after he kissed me.
“S-Sir?” not in my own words. My heart is pounding and the butterflies in my stomach are almost gone.
“Hmm?”
“S-Sir are you okay? Why are you kissing me?” I asked nervously.
“It’s been a year since I last saw you. Remember the day, you saved me from embarrassment? We were in Tagaytay then, we didn’t know each other but you helped me at the People’s Park. I didn’t have any coins and you lent me yours. I only have an ATM Card that time. I refused to pay you the 10 pesos. I just said thank you and you just left. That’s the time I became interested in someone I didn’t know .” he explained at length.
“Huh? Okay, even though I forgot about that. But, why did you kiss me all of a sudden? Don’t you know that it is forbidden to just kiss someone who is not your girlfriend.” I snorted a complaint.
“Uh? Is that so, I didn’t know. Because I’ve never had one. Not in my vocabulary.” raised eyebrows in response. I hit my forehead there.
“Okay, Sir. Just don’t kiss me anymore. We can’t do anything. That’s not allowed. I’m here to work, not flirt.. Maybe what other people will think about me. Just tell me, just- before I flirt with you. I don’t want that.” I am determined. He thought for a moment.
“I won’t let them do that to you. I will fire them. Whoever they are. They will face the burning hell once they say anything bad about you. So, can I kiss you now?” Sir Yohann said with a smile. It’s weird when it comes to me. He is too playful and mischievous. While being strict when it comes to other people.
I just held my breath there.
“It’s not possible. We can’t be FRIENDS!” I suddenly screamed. My eyes widened there. He laughed at what I did instead of getting angry because of what I said. He just shook his head there.
“I know, I’m not used to being wild. So can we go?” serious question and he agreed. My heart was more spiced by what I heard. I can’t believe Sir Yohann would say that.
“Not allowed.” I said second. He frowned at my answer.
“Why?” he asked sadly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Because I don’t want to take advantage of you. I’m not that kind of person and even more so I’m not flirtatious. Also, love is not rushed. It’s not forced, it’s not dictated. We don’t know each other yet. It can’t be You want me right away just because you said that. I can’t accept your offer without a valid reason to say Yes. But, the love I want is like love My parents are pure and incomparable. They will do everything for me. I will not be with you for a while.” I seriously explain. He was stunned by what I said. Sighed and leaned back on his desk.
“So, do you want to take it slow?” Sir Yohann said seriously and unsullied by a smile.
“Yes. If you are really serious. Let’s take it slow. For now, work first, Sir Yohann.” I said seriously. He nodded.
“Then work is work, love is love? Work is separate from love rules?” he said in a curious voice. I laughed.
“Yes, because this is my first job. I want my work performance to be smooth and good.” I said seriously. He nodded then turned around and sat in his swivel chair. He showed me another piece of paper.
“Review this document for me and make a draft and summary of every detail of the documents.” he seriously ordered which I quickly obeyed.
“Yes, Sir. I’ll bring it right away, once done.” I replied seriously and left with the documents.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I left his room. I can focus more on my work now. Compared to me accepting his offer. It’s not possible, I know that rich people like him especially and he is of Chinese descent are destined to marry someone else. I don’t want to fall for someone who I know is unlikely to be with me until the end. I want the kind of love that Mom and Dad have.
If he is really serious he can wait even longer. That’s true love. Because if he can’t wait, we don’t fit with each other.
I worked all morning. Before lunch time, I finished reviewing it all and made a summary. I immediately passed that on to Sir Yohann. He praised me for my speed and attention to detail.
