*Next day*~Demetrius POV~I picked the telephone and placed it close to my right ear."Hi, Claire," I said."How may I help you, sir?" She asked."Tell Miss Ophelia to come to my office," I said with a small smirk."Okay, sir." She replied and I dropped the telephone.A smirk appeared on my lips as I stared at the laptop before me. You can guess I love the game I am playing.~Ophelia's POV~"Bye." Kelly waved at me. I smiled at her and got into the cab. My phone started ringing in my bag. I ransacked through my bag and finally brought it out. I saw that it was my mother. I frowned."Hello, mom." I said to her."Hi, Ophelia. How are you doing? I missed your call." She said."You missed my call or you did not want to talk to me? I called you in the evening and you are returning the call in the morning. Anyways, I got the job and I am on my way there." I said to her. I heard her sigh."It's okay. I understand that you are angry with me but I was so busy yesterday. Like the diner was act
~Demetrius POV~You can call me heartless.You can call me wicked. But guess what?I don't give a damn. All she is just doing is reaping the fruits of her words. That is why it is important to note whatever you say to strangers.This... Is just the tip of an iceberg."Sir, may I come in?" Claire said through the telephone."Yes." I replied."These are the files, sir and also she is yet to be back." She said."Leave her. Let her keep looking for the coffee." I dismissed her. Just as she was about to open the door and step out, Ophelia pushed the door open and bumped into Claire. I shook my head."Sorry." She muttered, bowing several times.Claire scoffed and dusted her shirt before exiting the office. I looked at her as she walked towards my desk. She was so sweaty."Good afternoon, Sir." I could feel the venom in her greeting. What do you expect?I giggled mentally."Good Day." I said."How may I help you?" I asked her."Huh?.. Erm, you asked me to get you coffee." She said."I did?"
~Demetrius POV~I don't understand why Ryan is yet to come and see me. I mean he is in town and he is procrastinating on his visit.Well, Ryan is my step brother. He is kind of older than me. My dad got married to his mother before mine so... Well, my dad is dead now.I sighed and shrugged as I stepped out of the car and headed towards the house. I pushed the door open and went in.My mother and Maureen were busy giggling about something. I smiled and shook my head. "Mom." "See who finally came back." Maureen said and ran towards me."Baby girl." I said and carried her."How was work?" She asked."Well, work is fine. And besides how was school?" I asked her and bowed a little to my mom. She nodded her head and kept smiling at us."School was fine. Just that some kids decided to bully some other kids and guess what? I stood up for them and gave them words of quantity." She said with boldness.Words of quantity? I chuckled and dropped her."That is nice. Giving them words of quantity i
**Days Later**~Ophelia's POV~I stared at the envelope in my hands, can't believe what is in my hands right now. A promotion letter to be Demetrius' personal Secretary.Like?!!!How possible is that?Do you want to know the worst part of it all?I am now the only worker Demetrius picks on, loves more, and gives more attention. He already made me have more enemies than friends. And now I am his secretary. Could things get better than this?I exhaled and slumped on the chair. I have not even used up to a month and now I am promoted to the post of Personal Secretary.I seriously don't understand this boss of mine.Anyways, I have got no choice as I need to get with work to prevent him from lashing out at me as usual.My telephone rang, bringing my attention to it. I picked it with great reluctance and placed it close to my right ear. "The boss requests for your presence in his office immediately." She said and a frown crossed my face. As usual, always called me to his office immediately
~Demetrius' POV~I halted to a stop as soon as I heard that annoying lady's voice.What happened?Why is she yelling like that?I signaled to one of the bodyguards that they should go check. When I saw that the person was not walking fast. I picked my heels and walked faster.Then I saw this horrible sight that had me enraged. I gritted my teeth and went towards them. I pulled the guy from her and started landing punches on him.Son of a b*tch. How dare he?!I continued to land punches on his face that blood was already oozing. I was losing control but why?One of the bodyguards came towards me and dragged him from me. He kept talking nonsense."Call the cops," I ordered with a hard face.I looked at Ophelia was still lying there with her hands placed over her face. "You can come out," I said.She slowly brought her hands off her face and then I saw that her shirt's button kind of slipped off and her cleavage was showing. I cleared my throat and looked away immediately.I am not a per
~Ophelia's POV~"So you mean, he did something like that?" Kelly asked me she packed her hair into a bun in front of the mirror."Yes, he hit me on the cheek you had hit also." I said with a small frown."Really? So sorry about that. It was just reflex. I am sorry." She said again. I nodded my head."Anyways, Demetrius got him arrested and also I don't think he would be leaving there anytime soon." I said with a shrug as I applied my face cleanser."Wow, you really got a good boss. He is caring." She said and that made me roll my eyes."He is caring?" I said with an amused scoff."Guess, you don't know who my boss is. He is cold and heartless billionaire in the whole of Texas. Who doesn't know his name?" I said.She smiled. "But from the way he protected you against Jeremy, I don't think that describes him."And I felt the truth in her words but I chose to ignore it, only know the pain I suffered from him."Well, let us just say that that *caring* attitude of his comes and goes in a j
~Ophelia's POV~"Good Morning, sir." I greeted him with forced bow."Good morning." His voice came out muffled. What's with him this morning again?"How was your night, Sir?" I asked as a caring secretary that I should be."Fine and yours?" He managed to ask but I could see that his mind was filled with other thoughts. He stood up and walked towards the transparent glass, he had his hands in his pocket as if he was thinking deeply about something."What is your relationship with that guy?" He asked after a while."Huh? Which guy?" I asked, not getting what he meant."The guy that tried to touch you." He replied.Oh, he is talking about Jeremy. Should I tell him?"He.. Is my ex-boyfriend." I replied with little hesitation. He then turned towards me and raised an eyebrow."If I knew that this was lover's fight. I would not have interfered. Sorry if I caused you any pain." He said and I looked at him with my eyebrows raised in skepticism and query. Wow, never knew he could even apologi
~Ophelia's POV~"Twenty five years old." I heard a masculine voice say.Huh? I furrowed my eyebrows and shrugged. I must be hearing things."I said I am twenty five years old." The voice said again then it dawned on me that my boss was the one who talked. I whirled around immediately, coming face to face with him.When did he get here?Wasn't he just swimming a while ago?I scoffed.How did he hear what I said. Ohh, I must have said it loud."You are really younger than I thought." I said before realizing I spoke that louder than I expected. He was busy picking his shirt when he tilted his head up and gazed at my outburst. But what caught my attention was the boyish look that he gave out. He looked young and handsome and not to talk of that quality I had said earlier on. He was... H-"Do you think drooling over your boss is good?" His voice cut through my brain. I quickly regained my posture and cleared my throat.I cannot be drooling over him. Guys are not on my list for now. At leas
