Billionaire’s Heir

Chapter thirteen- Sleeping beauty



Myra’s POV

I woke up to a big bang on the door, who could be knocking aggressively like this?

I turned to look at the alarm clock beside the bed and it was already 7. 00 am, I yawned and stretched my body still not feeling like getting out of bed.

“Huh” one of that lazy days I assume, another banging on the door followed by Damian’s angry voice

” Can you open this door guess you have suddenly turned into a sleeping beauty”

I jumped out of the bed immediately and ran to unlock the door, and came face to face with an angry Damian, he roughly held my hands and stepped inside the room, and pushed me to the floor.

He looked down and said, “I don’t employ sluggish humans, if you think because you are my wife, I will condone nonsense then you will have to think again.” He sighed and turned to leave the room then stopped midway and said “make sure to be in the company by 8. 00 on the dot” with that he left the room and slammed the door shut.

“Phew” So much for a new day

I have to get ready, for a new employee first impression count, I don’t like the idea of being late on the first day so I quickly scurried to the lavatory to get ready, I hurriedly bathed and came out to get dressed, I selected a black trimmed skirt and a black and white polka dot sleeveless top with red stiletto heels and a red Birkin bag to match. My hair was pulled back nicely in a ponytail and I applied lip gloss since I was almost late. I didn’t want to waste more time wearing makeup. I gave myself the once-over look in the mirror before heading out. Glancing at the watch, and realizing I have just a few minutes left, I quickly went to see my daughter Aria and kissed her goodbye then got into the car and drove to the company.

I got to Graham’s company at exactly 8. 05 am, I’m already a few minutes late, and I was scared and anxious about Damian carrying out his threats. I silently prayed and hoped he wouldn’t notice. Stepping into the lobby, I met some employees who were excited to welcome me while some weren’t that pleased but made an effort to hide their real feelings. Just then Secretary Jack came to meet me, and I was glad to be out of the glaring eyes of the employees. Immediately after we left they formed a small circle and started talking in a hushed voice and some were even pointing at my Birkin bag arguing about cost.

“Good morning Ma” am, please I was instructed to show you your office when you arrive, please do follow me ” with that he turned to lead the way but I stopped him midway

Excuse me Jack,

“He veered around and gestured for me to ask whatever that’s bothering me

I peered at him and then asked if my husband Damian is waiting for my arrival, Hoping he wasn’t thoCòntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He replied ” No he’s having a meeting at the moment but will be out shortly”

I said okay and he asked if there is any other thing I want to ask, I shake my head indicating that I am done. Then he smiled revealing a set of white shiny and polished teeth before leading the way. I gently followed him and we got into the elevator. We arrived at the topmost floor where Damian’s office is, we stepped out of the elevator and I was introduced to his front desk receptionist, and she stood up and bowed. I must admit that she is courteous and has a professional demeanor.

“I’m not surprised with the way the employees are going about their duties, they are all scared of him.

We approached a glass door that has a golden tag with CEO written on it, I have been to his office so I knew it was Damian’s office, Jack used his fingerprint to open the door and then we went in,

“Please sit and make yourself comfortable, I need to inform the boss that you are around” with which he excused himself and left.

I sat down patiently for Damian but it seems like I have been sitting for ages. I was beginning to get bored so I decided to go through some of the magazines on his desk. Maybe it will help me pass out time for the moment. I was standing at his desk and engrossed in the vogue magazine that I was reading, I didn’t notice when he came into the office.

“What are you doing?” his voice startled me and I mistakenly dropped the magazine on the floor. If looks can kill, I did be a dead woman from the way, he was glaring.

” You weren’t taught how to behave around people’s stuff” his voice was cruel and hostile. I quickly apologized and he scoffed.

He went to sit down and gestured for me to come closer while loosening the tie on his neck, and unbuttoning his shirt down to his chest revealing the black shiny curly hairs there. I won’t be lying if I say that God took special time in molding Damian. I remember how it felt touching those soft curls and how it turned him on, the memories of that erotic night came flooding and I tried to snap out of my thoughts. I looked at his face and noticed that he was smirking and observing my expression.

” Huh” you were saying something I tried to hide my discomfort

“He grinned and said I can see you can’t seem to control your thoughts when you are around me, you were staring so badly at the same time drooling at the glimpse of my chest, and you’re already feeling hot. What will happen if I decide to take off my shirt, guess you will kneel and beg for my touch.” He smirks, ”

I was dumbfounded. I- I’m truly drooling. I quickly wiped my hand on my mouth and looked at it and truly something was there. I raised my head and looked at him. There was a slight hint of a smirk on his lips when our eyes met but his eyes were still cold and indifferent.

“How do you intend to work as my assistant? First things first you have to learn how to keep your thoughts away from wild imagination

You have to bear in mind that when it comes to work-related issues you are my assistant, you are only my wife at home.

You have to make my coffee yourself, and should always be in the company waiting before I arrive.

You must always address me as your boss, no form of pet name is allowed.

You’re not expected to leave the office without my orders

Removing my ties is your duty, I shouldn’t remind you about it.”

I nodded and waited for him to finish with the outrageous rules, instead he picked up a file and started going through it. I stood there looking at him but it seems he purposely ignored me or maybe waiting for me to ask a question.

Dami I stuttered, immediately those words left my lips, he looked at me coldly, and I quickly apologized and reframed my questions.

Please Sir, where am I expected to stay during working hours? He spoke without looking at me. “There is a table and chair outside my door, that’s your position”. I stared at him in shock and muttered but it’s just an open space.

He looked up meeting my expression, and he asked if I have a problem with abiding by the rules, I shook my head, and he nodded and asked me to go make his coffee. I am hoping agreeing to this is not going to make things difficult for me.

I gave him a quick nod and left to make his coffee. Outside his office, there is an adjoining room that happens to be a mini kitchen. Inside it was neatly arranged, and an espresso coffee machine was on top of the cabinet. I took out a gold-plated mug and saucer and made him a strong black coffee, but I was skeptical about adding sugar to it. When I’m done I took it to his office and he took a sip and then spat it out.

” I don’t drink bitter coffee, you didn’t add sugar. Should I teach you everything, what exactly are you good at he spoke angrily”

I apologize and he demanded I should make a fresh coffee I nodded and was about to leave before he shouted

” Aren’t you forgetting something”

I turned and he pointed at the cup of coffee I made earlier, I went to carry it and left. The sound of his laughter echoed loudly and I know he was intentionally doing all this but I am going to prove him wrong. I am going to convince him for the sake of Sophia.
