Chapter One. MELANIE'S POINT OF VIEW "Holy shit! I'm done for!", I screamed as I jumped out of bed. You must be wondering why I'm freaking out when it's only minutes past five in the morning but trust me when I tell you that I have legitimate reason to freak out. I'm Melanie Wright, twenty-seven years old and... That's about all that's important about me, I don't have much of a life. I graduated from school at twenty-two and worked multiple jobs for about two years before landing a job in the almighty Knight Incorporated. I genuinely have no idea how I was able to get hired so easily considering it was such a high position and I had no previous job experience unless my internship while in school counts and some part-time jobs I did... My point is that I was very lucky to get this job as Personal assistant to the CEO of Knight Inc, at least so I thought until I met Dexter Abram. My first thought when I met him was that he's cute, handsome rather. He was a very attractive m
MELANIE'S POINT OF VIEW I sigh in relief as I sat on one of the chairs in the company cafeteria and dropped my tray of food on the table. I'm so tired already and it's just minutes past eight. Dexter's master plan meant he had breakfast at seven, then left the house thirty minutes after and arrived in the company at eight or earlier depending on the traffic. Traffic wasn't bad today so we arrived before eight but he had me doing different things so I couldn't get away till now. I rush the meal and stand up minutes later then begin walking to the elevator. I am about to enter the elevator when someone walks past me and enters inside. "Melanie!" Dexter's mother, Eveth Knight. That was one overbearing woman, just like her son. The only difference was she happened to love me, way too much. "Eveth", I replied her with a forced smile. Yeah, she made me begin calling her by her first name once she fell in love with me. It was way easier though, since it saved me the stress
DEXTER'S POINT OF VIEW "Good day, Mother", I greet once Melanie walks out of my office. "Liam", she smiles and I groan internally. She can never get over that nickname. It has become annoying to me since over two decades ago and I have always told her but she never stops. "Why are you so mean to Melanie?", she complains as she sits on one of the cushions in my office and I sigh. "I'm not mean to her", I grunt. I don't understand why she always thinks I'm being mean to Melanie when I haven't even treated her like I would have liked to. I'm always trying to act neutral to her because annoying as she may be, I've gotten used to having her around and I wouldn't want her resigning. "That's exactly the problem with you, you never know that you're being annoying", Mother nags. "Mother, why are you here?" "I came to see you. The last time I came, you claimed you had already drawn up your schedule so couldn't go out with me" That was one annoying day. She had began complaini
DEXTER'S POINT OF VIEW I had to admit that the idea wasn't a bad one though. It wouldn't be too much of a deviation if I asked Melanie to work as my chef but still... "No, Mother" "Fine", she rolls her eyes. Who knows if this wasn't even one of her attempts to matchmake Melanie and I? It's good I rejected it. "But what's wrong with Melanie as a woman? Even married men find themselves having an affair with their personal assistants or secretary but you are not even friends with Melanie" She talks too much, eats too much and eats quite savagely too and... What else? She's clumsy sometimes and doesn't pay so much attention to how she looks, sometimes. I don't really know to be honest, she just annoys me. She is a beautiful lady though, I'm surprised she hasn't yet given me a wedding invitation all these years. "Or did she do something wrong?", Mother inquires. She was shabbily dressed when I met her for the first time and stuttered a lot. She wasn't very punctual then t
Chapter 5. Melanie's Pov. Why is Eveth calling me by this time?, it's 9pm and it's really rare. There is no way I'm not going to pick the call. "Hello, you will be working for Dexter for the next three months, since Mrs Corazon will not be around." She said immediately I picked the call. She must have been mistaken, there is no way Dexter will agree with what she just said. "Ma'am, I think you are mistaken...Dexter wouldn't want me to work for him." I tried explaining but she cuts me off immediately. "No, he was the one who said three months, so you can start working tomorrow, I will come and pick you up tomorrow since tomorrow is Saturday. My poor son must be really hungry." She said the last sentence with an awful voice. I know she's just trying to convince me to work for her son, I will have to do it for her sake and not for his sake. "Okay, I will prepare myself." I agreed and I could hear her squeaking over there. She must be really happy, looks like someone that has anoth
Chapter Six. Melanie's Point Of View. Oh Shi!!! I never imagined she was going to mention this here, she's making the matter worse. I bit my lips in shame as I looked at the jerk who was already staring at me. He didn't say anything as he walked back upstairs. "Hey I'm talking to you!!! How dare you walk out on me Huh? Or don't tell me you are occupied on Saturdays again." Eveth shouted as he walked back upstairs. He stopped walking as he looked back. Don't tell me he disobeyed his mother. "Last room by the left side the the hall way, that is your room." He said and I guess he was referring to me, he went back without even looking back. "I should look for a good wife for him that will teach him manners." She stated as she looked at me. This woman should realize that I am not interested in her proud son at all. "I will go to my room now." I excused myself as I bowed my head. I carried the luggage up the stairs as I went to the room he directed me to. Ahhhhh, life is going to b
Chapter Seven. Melanie's Pov. I was hungry since I haven't eaten anything this morning, I thought of preparing something for myself. I went downstairs as I didn't meet Eveth there, I guess she went out already. I went to the kitchen as I thought of what to eat. Bread will be better, I opened the cupboard as I brought out the flour and the ingredients I was going to use. "Should I prepare his own or not?" I asked myself as my mind diverted towards that jerk. No! I'm not preparing his own, he said he wasn't expecting me to come this early. So I should prepare this food around the time he wants me to come. Or I should just punish him a little bit? I decided I was going to mix large quantity of flour, after mixing I will keep much in the fridge and bake the rest. I started preparing the bread and I was almost done already, I brought out the bread from the oven. Gosh! I'm good when it comes to baking. I dropped the bread with the tray on the cabinet as I looked up and I was surpr
