Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

Chapter 34

“That is exactly why I want you to become my secretary. You’ll get to work on more challenging

projects, and you’ll work alongside me. My team and I handle all the first tiers and the most challenging

projects in this company. If you work as my secretary, I’ll put you on all those projects so that you can

learn. You can flourish while you watch and learn with the best of the best. There are many things that I

want to teach you, Karina,” he said it all like a promise.

Once again, the passion and determination behind his words touched me. I cursed myself silently when

my heart skipped a beat when he called me by my name. Just like the many speeches that I’ve heard

him deliver, I was captivated by his words and the earnest emotions behind them.

There are many things that he wanted to teach me. It wasn’t like I didn’t find his suggestion tempting. I

knew that it was a rare opportunity to work alongside someone as superior as he was. However, I still

had my doubts, and I was very scared of him. But then again, it wasn’t like I honestly had a choice.

“May I have some time to think about this?” I asked hopefully.

“No, you may not…but I’ll give you one day to mentally prepare for it. Tomorrow you will start working

as my secretary,” he said in all seriousness.

He flashed me a very charming smile and it was clear that he thought that he had offered me more

than enough mercy already. I was frankly dumbstruck, and I didn’t know what else to say. Slowly, I

stood up from my seat because I knew that our conversation was over. The only thing I could say to

him was…

“Yes, Sir,” I whispered.

I could feel his eyes on me as I turned to leave. His heated gaze burnt into my back as I walked away

and out of his personal office. When I was far enough away from Ace’s office, I let out such a long and

loud sigh that I was sure that my exhaustion and depression could be felt by everyone in the building.

From our entire conversation, I probably agreed with him on one thing only: I needed this entire day

and this entire evening and this entire night to mentally prepare myself for my new job of working as his

personal secretary.

…

Although I wanted to mentally prepare myself for my new job tomorrow, I found myself tossing and

turning in bed, unable to catch a wink of sleep. I was stressed, anxious, and very scared of what would

happen tomorrow. I’ve never worked as someone secretary before, and honestly, I didn’t know what to

do. I was scared of losing my job if I failed at this job that he had given me. There were bills that

needed to be paid and I wanted to send money back to my mother. That meant that failing wasn’t an

option for me. I sat up in bed with renewed determination. I’m going to do my best and survive this job

no matter what.

My mind went back to my initial motivation. The commercial that I saw that changed my life that day.

One day I’m going to make a commercial, so touching that I would inspire and change the lives of the

viewers who watches it too. With that thought in mind, I laid back down on the bed and closed my eyes

and prayed that tomorrow would be a productive day that would lead me closer to achieving my dream. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Morning came and I had no idea that something truly shocking would be waiting for me when I arrived

at the office. Since I had received an e-mail last night that I would be required to move from my current

department to the CEO’s office, I decided to go to work early. I knew that I needed time to clear away

my desk and also say farewell to the people in my department. I didn’t have that many things on my

desk and it didn’t take so long to clear it and pack it all up into a small box.

With that box in my arm, I began making my way towards the CEO’s office. While waiting for the

elevator, I heard the sound of people whispering rapidly to each other and quickly realized that they

were gossiping. My initial reaction was to ignore them while thinking that they should be doing some

productive work rather than gossiping about other people like this.

“I heard Kyle from the planning department is getting married next weekend,” a woman whispered to

her colleague.

“Really?! You mean that hot, Kyle, that we all admire?” the other woman replied, clearly shocked at

what she had just heard.

“He’s getting married. But I thought he didn’t even have a girlfriend...” another woman whispered back.

Kyle only broke up a few days ago…so what does it mean that he’s going to get married this weekend?

My hands clenched tightly at the box that I was holding in my arms as I listened in to the conversation

that the ladies were having. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing and I didn’t want to believe that it was

true. Obviously, these two women didn’t know that Kyle and I have been dating for two years and that

we broke up very recently. I didn’t want to hear anything more of what they had to say but I was still

waiting for the elevator to arrive.

“Are you sure that’s true and it’s not just some rumor?” the woman asked suspiciously.

That was exactly what I was wondering. Is this true or was it just some weird and untrue rumor that was

spreading around?

“I’m quite certain. I heard it from my friend that’s working in the planning department. Apparently, Kyle

invited some of his colleagues and also his boss to his wedding as well. There’s no mistake about it, he

is definitely getting married this weekend,” the woman replied with certainty.
