Loved

How did I not connect this before?

I had met my parents employer when I was a little kid but ever since then, I bore too much hate to even think of seeing him again.

Plus it’s not like they’ll let me meet their boss, they felt like I’d spill the beans if granted opportunity.

And after they resigned, what business did I have with him. He was well known and all but he was never around Los Alamos, he just had workers all over handling the job for him. He and his wife were just, I don’t know… Invincible?

This explains why my parents seemed indifferent when I told them of my employment. Asking if I was happy with the job and not if it’s profitable.

But I’m literally the dumbest thing I can think of.

The striking resemblance to Louisa? Mr Brooks McConnell?

I’m so stupid!

This bastard is here whoring up meanwhile I’m to work for him?

No way, I do not see that happening.

” I’m presuming you guys know each other ” The naked girl who is now standing was the first to break the silence of our staring contest.

Believe me when I say she’s still nude.

” How can you be in the presence of a stranger with your privacies on flair?” I growled at her stupidity. This is part of the reasons men don’t give women respect anymore.

” I wasn’t expecting unworthy interruptions ” She spat and went ahead to find her dress that was tossed somewhere on the floor.

Unworthy?

I have no words to say to her.

All i can think of right now is ways to not kill my new boss because I’ve literally spent years planning how to.

” Michelle, I’ll see you tomorrow okay?” ‘Mr McConnell’ finally decided to grace us with his speech.

The now dressed Michelle sent me a glare indicating she wasn’t happy with the change of plans.

Oh, how much alikeness do we share!

She whispered something so quietly into his ear that earns her a smirk, then she places a five seconds kiss to his mouth.

I had to be a witness to this horror movie.

On her way out, she made it a point of duty to brush me by my shoulders before leaving.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

” This arrangement must be re-arranged” Were his first words after she left slamming the door on her way out.

He picked up his phone and made a call.

****************************

Hunter’s P. O. V.

———————

This cannot be happening, she finally pops up after five years as my replacement secretary. I don’t see that happening.

I picked up my phone to call my dad and the anger currently in me is threatening me to shout when he answers the phone call but I knew to do better than that.

Three rings and still no re-

” Hello?”

Finally!

” Hey dad, we need to talk ” Standing up from my seat and walking around it to lean against the table.

” Okay, about what? Wait!. Has the secretary replacement arrived?”

” Yes and that’s the problem ”

There was an unnecessary pause over the phone, I for one felt the call had gone off so I pulled the phone out of my ear to check.

The minutes were still counting.

” Dad?” Maybe he dropped the phone.

” Son?” Was all he replied.

” You didn’t say anything ”

” So did you ”

“I said, I have a problem with your choice of secretary” She wasn’t even looking at me anymore. Right now she had taken a seat at the corner of the room and was reading through some magazines.

” And that is?” Why is he sounding all odd?

” I can’t work with her”

” And why is that?” All these simple yet interrogative questions.

” Because she’s- I don’t see any potential in her” Now that was enough to grab her attention and make her send a glare in my direction.

” Now now don’t judge a book by its cover ”

” Well you can always read the summary. And so far she’s not useful ” If looks could kill, I wouldn’t only be dead but i could have been buried like fifteen feet under by Iris.

” Mind you kid, that she’s working with me and I do find her very lucrative ”

” Then take her back!” Maybe a little yelling won’t cause any harm.

” That, I will not do ”

” Why exactly?”

” Because the meeting with Ying and Shang is very important, and I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the Koreans can be very smart and mischievous ”

That was true.

But not enough.

” Miss Shawn has proven herself worthy enough when she represented in the Salabou meeting with the indians. I need such a brain in this situation cause yours doesn’t seem sufficient enough. Plus I will not let you ridicule her this way, any report from her like this and your percentage income drops to ten percent ”

Ten!!

That was a blow. Everywhere.

” Fine” He was making me agree to this.

” I’m glad you’ve turned on your reasoning switch. She’s here with her CV and other documents that qualifies her for the position ”

” But-”

“No but’s son. And major information for you. She’s gonna be living with you”

If i had a glass of water I would have spat everything in my mouth and made sure to bend over the cup.

” What! Why!?, what about the hotels ”

” They’re all booked”

“That’s a-” Were all i said before hearing the dial tone.

Fucking nonsense!

I threw my phone down on the table and turned to her, who seemed busy with her phone.

” Bring the CV” I returned to my sitting position on my chair, but Iris didn’t make a move, that’s if you don’t count raising of an eyebrow.

” I said something ” I reminded her.

” And I don’t think I heard right ” She folded her arms across her chest pushing her breasts slightly.

There has really been a lot of changes on her.

” Then what did you hear?” Mimicking her stance.

” Bring the CV?”

” That’s exactly what I said, so why are you still there?”

” I’m your secretary not your manservant ”

” What are you implying?”

” A please will suffice ”

It took me a moment to wrap my head round what she just said.

And when I did, I bursted into laughter.

” I, I should beg you?” I managed to blurt between laughs.

” I was edging for courtesy or proper etiquette but as your Dad proudly said on the phone, your brain really isn’t sufficient ”

That stopped me.

Did she just say that to me?

” But rather I’ll overlook the lack. Your Dad has shares with some hospitals though. Therapy shouldn’t cost much”

My mouth fell ajar as she walks to my desk and stands directly opposite me before dropping a file she had been holding on the table.

” Since when did you have such a snappy mouth?” I had to ask, so many things are going wrong.

” Things I’ve done are of no concern to you Mr McConnell “
