“Good morning Naomi”, Sophie said with a smile that definitely looks so fake, like she forced it out
“Morning Sophie and why are you here this early?” I asked looking at her with suspicious eyes “I just wanted to greet you and I hope you enjoyed yourself last night?”, Sophie asked with a sinister look on her face “Thanks a lot Sophie, yes I did, it was fun”, I replied giving her a fake smile in return knowing fully well why she was here“I’ll see you later then,have fun while it last”she murmured the last part as she walked out slowly “Ok. Bye”, she’s obviously here because I was talking with the boss all night,it looks like what she has for our boss is more than a crush.Rrng rrng , the office phone rang……“Naomi come to my office now, don’t waste any minute”, he said with so much authority and the line was cut off immediately without even waiting for my reply “Good morning sir , sir you called for me?”, I said immediately i entered his office and stood in front of his desk.“Daniel won’t be coming in today due to a personal issue and you will take over his duties from today for two weeks”, he said after taking a quick glance at me. “But sir…. Can we not hire someone to be your personal assistant for the two weeks?”, I said innocently because I wasn’t sure I could do that much of a task.I’m well aware of how Daniel moves up and down the company and he works till very late “I didn’t ask for suggestions Naomi, I just told you what’s going to take place. You will obviously get extra bonus so why are you suggesting I hire someone else or are you expressing your sadness to me by declining to fill in for him because Daniel isn’t going to be around you for the next two weeks?”, he asked with no expressions on his face.“Oh no sir, I was just asking. It will be a lot of work for me to be your personal assistant and I’m definitely not sad but maybe just a little worried for Daniel”, I replied not understanding why i should be sad about Daniel not being around me. We haven’t known each other for too long anyways and we don’t know anything about each other. “You don’t need to explain, I really don’t want to hear it. Just get yourself familiar with these documents in front of you, you need to learn and memorize them. You can also take the documents home and go through my schedule for the next two weeks. Next week is going be very hectic and busy so prepare ahead, we will both be going on a business trip”, he said and told me all I needed to know and he goes back operating his laptop to what he was doing before I came in. “Ok sir, I’ll take my leave now”,I added as i walked out of his office and I began to think and worry how busy next week was gonna be. “Did you notice how long Naomi and the boss were talking last night?”, Sophie asked Nora “Don’t think too much about it Sophie, they were obviously talking about work. I know you do have a crush on our boss but don’t go creating scenarios in your head” Nora adviced. “But they also left together, I was waiting patiently to get a chance to talk to him but Naomi just had to stay there all evening not sparing me a chance to talk to him”, she lamented bitterly to Nora“They were obviously talking about work and have you forgotten that she’s his secretary and I just even found out that Daniel, our boss personal assistant won’t be coming in for some days or maybe weeks and she’s gonna fill in for him”, Nora added as she stoop up and walked over to the fax machine. “What the hell!, how can you just be telling me this now and how come I didn’t know of this? She shouldn’t be too close to him infact I don’t want any girl near him anymore”, she said as she stomped her feets on the ground. “Be gentle Sophie , don’t hurt yourself. This is no ordinary crush right? It’s looking more of an obsession than just a crush”,Nora said as she immediately puts a stop to what she was doing to take a good look at Sophie to be sure she’s ok and isn’t suffering from any hangovers “It’s no obsession it’s love Nora..true love, Damon’s the only reason I came to work here. I’ve loved him since our high school days but he never noticed me”, Sophie finally cried out“Jeez. For real? I noticed that you looked too well to do to be given a job in this department”,Nora said as all her doubts and questions were finally answered. “Please don’t tell anyone what I just disclosed to you. It’s true love Nora and I need you to believe me. I want him to one day notice me and I don’t want to share that attention with anyone not even Naomi”, Sophie said as she confessed all to Nora. “All I know for sure is that Naomi is a nice person and I don’t think she’s trying to take anyone’s attention from you and so you should definitely not fight or quarrel with her over nothing”, Nora said as she decided to keep her friends secret“I haven’t heard any news from you, it’s been a week, I hope you’ve been getting closer to him?”, Mrs stone asked through the phone hoping to get a positive response “Yes ma’am, everything’s going according to plan ma. I will be very close to him for the next two weeks”, I replied her as I wondered why she called just after a week “Ok, that’s good to know. I need you to do a perfect job because my son would be back from his business program in less than two months. So whatever you are doing, do quick and get done with it”, she added and I could literally feel how excited she was. “Ok ma. Will do just as you have said” I answered fully ready to end the conversation but i couldn’t… “One urgent task you need to do this week and report back to me”, she said and I knew this task will definitely not be easy knowing how desperate she was “Ok ma. What’s the urgent task?”,I asked feeling skeptical about it “I want you to take a step further and make him kiss you or you kiss him. Let
“Did you hear anything? Were you eavesdropping on me?”, I asked a little scared and angry as I faced this jerk. “No I didn’t. Did you say something that I should know about?”, he asked still maintaining his calm face, like nothing just happened in his room “Ok sir”, I muttered with a sigh of relief and entered my room. Anywhere far from him would be appreciated ~Back in New York ~ “Your suggestion of presenting a relationship worked out well, it’s good you are being useful”,he uttered “Oh ok sir. I’m glad it helped”, I muttered withought facing him. “His obviously acting like nothing happened, I just didn’t know that one could be a jerk and also a pervert”, I murmured to myself knowing fully well that I was trapped with him It’s either I do Mrs Stone’s bidding, or I repay him what he deserves, either way he’s at the losing end. “Make sure to go over all the remaining documents and if there’s any issue, call my attention to it”, he added as he proceeded to step into
“Sophie hey, how long have you been standing there? Do you need anything? Or you want to see the boss?”, I asked not really bothered if she saw or heard anything, I just didn’t want trouble “Oh not really, I heard you were back from the business trip with the boss so I wanted to stop and say hi but it seems you guys are busy”, she said putting on a sheepish smile. “Sophie I know you have a crush on the boss but I hope you don’t misunderstand whatever just happened now”, I tried explaining “I didn’t hear much, I just heard when you yelled you don’t agree with him. Is there anything you would like to share? " she asked, staring at me with eager eyes. “Would you like to get closer with the boss?”, i asked as I happily thought of ways to torture damon without doing it myself. “Would you really do that for me?”, she asked looking really excited “Of course I would. What are friends for? If you want to get closer then I can help with that”, I muttered and smiled because Damon will
~Sophie’s pov~ Did Naomi just make a fool out of me? And he completely acted like he didn't know me at all. Wait… was he for real? My last name doesn’t ring a bell? And I’ve been in this company for more than a month now and he still doesn’t know me or maybe even just remembers seeing my face around the company. And the hell he could address Naomi by her first name but wants us to address her professionally. I don’t really know what Naomi has done but I’m sure gonna give her a fight over this. How the hell could I let myself be deceived by that bloody attention seeker. “Hey Sophie! Why are you in a hurry? How was it? And Why did you guys not talk for long?”, I asked trying to understand why she was in a hurry because she didn’t spend more than five minutes there and that was definitely not enough to set the bomb. “Thanks a lot for your help and I’ll be sure to repay it”, she said and left in a hurry without looking. “It obviously did not go well and I’m sure it didn’t go the
“Everything has got to go according to plan and make sure to keep your eyes on Naomi, she’s working for me”, mrs stone sputtered through the phone expressing her low confidence in Naomi“Ok ma'am. I’ll keep an eye on things here”.“I don’t fully trust that girl if anything happens or you suspect anything just let me know immediately, we will do away with her”, she said coldly“Whatever you say boss I’ll keep my eyes on things here ma’am, just relax and trust me I’ve never failed you and I won’t start now”, the unknown person answered confidently through the phone“I trust you, it’s just that girl I don’t trust. She didn’t want to do it at first then all of a sudden she’s very ok doing it and it makes me suspicious”, mrs stone explained. “Ohh I also suspected that. I’ve been in the company for a very long while and the boss has never agreed to have female workers so close but she got so close so fast”“I’m happy this plan is going the right way but I’m just being careful so I don't get
…Finally the meeting’s over, I was kinda lost but wrote down whatever I thought seemed important to the boss. I honestly wonder how I'm gonna give him any suggestions. “Hi Naomi!, I’m Harvey. Harvey Cullen”, he walked over to me and stretched out his hand for a shake “Hi Harvey, should I be bothered or worried as to how you know my name?”, I wanted to know because this was definitely my first time seeing him.“Oh no you shouldn’t. As you’ve seen I’m in the S&F accounting dept”, he said showing off his wonderful sets of teeth as he smiled softly. “Okay and ..?”, I asked still not getting his reasons for the introductions.“I just want to chat with you for a bit before you head up, if that's okay of course?”, he asked.I didn't want to come off as rude so I obliged, I wasn't engaged in anything at the moment, I might just delve into a conversation while I'm at it “Sure you can. You have till the boss is ready to leave”, I replied as I quickly searched for the boss with my eyes and he
“I think I’m beginning to get a hang of being his secretary and his acting personal assistant but I really miss Daniel and I wish he was here sooner”, I cried as I successfully survived this past week. “I’m not sure I could hold on any longer. This job is tearing me into pieces”, I sobbed hoping this last week before Daniels return will run by. “Nora and Sophie haven’t stopped by lately. I expected it from Sophie but definitely not Nora” I thought to myself pretty worried… “I’m sure Sophie’s putting Nora on this. Nora seems like a very cool person and I think I can trust her”. “Sophie’s obviously a spoiled baby. She looks like it, and I’m sure she’ll come around soon”, I said trying to convince myself. “Hello Naomi, how are you doing today?”a deep but calm voice greeted me. And It definitely does not belong to the boss. “Hey! What are you doing here”, I answered with a smile as I met Harvey’s face in front of me. “I’ve been good, and you? I just wanted to drop by
“I’m sure Harvey is convinced about asking Naomi out. All I need to do is to distract her and put her attention on someone else”, Sophie said to herself. “I’ll also need to be around the boss at all times now. So while she’s busy with Harvey,I’ll be around for the boss”, Sophie gave a light laughter as she was happy about her plans. “I can definitely do this on my own, I don’t need Nora. She might tell Naomi about my plans”,Sophie thought. “She’s lucky I didn’t go with what I had in my mind. I wanted to frame her for theft so she could be kicked out”, she said out loud to herself as she was alone. “But then she proves to be lucky as Harvey shows interests in her. I could use him to get Naomi out of my way”, she muttered “This bitch doesn’t know who she messed with. And I’m only doing her the favour I promised to give back to her”,she said with a devilish smile. “Hey Harvey! You here”, she said with a smile “Again”, she whispered to herself. “Yeah. I just want
