Nicholas felt like he was on cloud nine as he finally had a chance to meet Eliza. He tried to hide his excitement as he asked in a cheerful tone," Okay. But where is her office?""It's on the 20th floor of the building." Angela replied as she smiled at him playfully.Nicholas nodded his head and exited the room hurriedly. As soon as he left, Angela picked up the phone and made a call to Eliza who picked up the phone at third ring."Has the new scapegoat been selected?" She asked straightforwardly as she played with the pen in her hand.Angela chuckled hearing her question and replied as she buttoned up her jacket," Yes, he is on the way to your office. But I must say that he is different from all those who had been selected e,ß3arlier. Even though, I couldn't see his face, yet one thing I am damn sure about is that he is pretty hot. Beware of him as I am afraid that his charms might melt your stone-cold heart.""That's impossible. But why couldn't you see his face? " Eliza asked feeli
Eliza threw the cup of coffee at Nicholas, however, he dodged it as if he had already expected this to happen. Eliza was furious again seeing how he escaped her tantrums every time, however, she found an excuse to justify her action as she said," The coffee tasted so bitter. You should have asked me if you didn't know about my taste."Nicholas smiled and replied as he nodded his head respectfully," Okay mam."His smile was an eyesore to Eliza and she clenched her fists thinking of another way to make him miserable. Soon, a smile appeared on her face as she ordered completely unaware of the effect her smile had on Nicholas, "Sort out all the files in the left corner rack and report me the summary within one hour."Nicholas didn't react because he was lost for a second seeing the smile on her face. "Are you even listening?" Eliza complained as she banged the table lightly squinting her eyes which made Nicholas come out of the trance and he said, "Sorry, mam. I didn't listen to what you
Eliza knew she couldn't do anything if he refused to act per her arrangement, as she couldn't fire him for not accepting the 'promotion'. She could only allow him to be her assistant for at least 15 days as per the contract she had got him signed 2 hours ago.But could she tolerate him for 15 days? Maybe, not. Because he seemed to have some supernatural powers. If he would stay by her side any longer, she might feel the pain of those assistants of hers whom she had tortured mercilessly in the last two years.Eliza hated herself for being so helpless in front of him. "It's your loss if you want to miss this chance for growth in your career. But if you insist on being my assistant, I would like to tell you in advance that I won't tolerate any leniency and mistakes when it comes to working. So be very careful." She said as she returned the file to Nicholas feeling uncomfortable because of his gaze.Nicholas took the file and replied, "Sure m....". However, the ringing of his phone caused
Angela looked at him with some hesitation as she pondered whether to tell him Eliza's secret or not. She was afraid if Eliza found out about this, she would have to lose her job.However, to develop a good bond with Nick, she needed to help him with certain things because she already understood that her charms and glamour might not help her win over him.In the past, many men did not show any interest in her despite her efforts to seduce them, however, Nick was the first amongst those who showed a hint of disgust when she touched him. And for that only reason, he successfully aroused her interest, and now all she wanted was to make him fall for herThat's why she decided to reveal the secret in front of him but not at the cost of her job as she said, "I guess she must have experienced some kind of harassment in the past because when I joined the company, she asked me to check the moral integrity of men appeared for the interview to be her assistant. She asked me to put on an act to s
Nicholas looked into her eyes and before he zoned out while looking at her, he cleared his throat and said as he broke the eye contact," Let's go, Mam."Eliza felt embarrassed again and mentally cursed herself for losing control over her emotions. She averted her gaze and began to walk in the empty corridor without responding to Nicholas.Nicholas smiled and followed after Eliza with the briefcase in his hands. After they both entered the elevator, Nicholas pressed the button for the parking lot.He tried his best to not look at her now when he had known that she didn't feel comfortable with men because of some experience in the past. He didn't want to scare her. But in the narrowed space, the light fragrance emitting from her body made him restless. He couldn't help but took a glance at her and when he found her busy with her phone, he felt his heart beating fast at the sight of her. She had a round face, chocolaty eyes, dark brown hairs, a sharp nose, and red thin lips. She had put
"He is a major shareholder in WS corporations. And he will join us here in a few minutes. While we are waiting for him, why don't have we some fun in the meantime?" Neil Jackson asked ambiguously tactfully concealing the identity of the proposed partner.Eliza very well understood the hidden meaning behind his words and replied arrogantly, "I guess you should have made a thorough investigation about Davis Corporations, including its boss before deciding to join hands with us. So you must be aware that I don't like the idea of having fun with my business partners."A sense of uneasiness crept into Eliza's heart as she heard Neil mentioning WS corporations. She knew very well that this corporation belonged to Mike's father, even though he was not the successor of the company. She had not seen him in the last 5 years, however, the memories of that day still haunted her at night.Instinctively, she wanted to withdraw the partnership from this project, because she feared encountering Mike a
He recognized Mike at first glance because he was his classmate in the first year of their college. Mike was Ben Williams's illegitimate son, yet behaved so arrogantly like he owned the world. All he did was hang out with a group of boys from rich families and was often reprimanded by teachers for not being serious about his studies.Mike was popular in the college but in a bad way, to be more precise. Even though they never crossed paths with each other, he often heard rumors about his scandals in college.Nicholas remembered how Mike was once accused of r*ping and killing a girl in the college but he managed to escape because there was no evidence or witness to testify against him. After that incident, he was despised by most of the students and teaching staff in the college.Even though Nicholas never had a good impression of Mike in the past, one thing he couldn't understand was why did Eliza feel afraid after seeing Mike. Did he also do something bad to Eliza? Or was he the perso
Joe glared at him because he didn't want Nicholas to trouble Eliza for unnecessary things, so he refused straightforwardly," Miss Davis needs to have rest for the time being. You can talk to her tomorrow.""It's ok, Joe. I am not that fragile, you know. You can wait outside unless I don't ask you to come in." Eliza interrupted Joe because she didn't like talking to him with Nicholas in such a rude way.Joe bowed his head and left after coldly glancing at Nicholas.The uneasiness in Nicholas's heart improved a bit but before he could say anything to Eliza, she asked him first," You must be curious why I fainted after seeing Mike Williams, right?"Nicholas was taken aback for he didn't expect Eliza to see through him and voice out his inner thoughts in such an explicit way. He purses his lips and nodded his head waiting for her to explain further.Eliza gave a bitter smile and after she took a deep sigh, she continued as she clutched the sheet in her hands tightly," Mike Williams tried
