The Ceo's Secretary novel Chapter 5

I could hardly sleep throughout the weekend and when it was finally Monday, I dressed up in my new suit that I ordered online two days ago and applied a very small amount of my strawberry lipstick.

I left my house around 6:30am in the morning and was already there before 7:00am.

The securities and the cleaners were the only one around during that time, so I waited for thirty more minutes before people started showing up.

The anxiety that everything was a prank was killing me inside but an attractive young lady who was walking towards me with a smiling face gave me some hope.

"Good morning Miss Tyler" she said while stretching out her hand for an handshake

"Good morning"

"It's nice meeting you. I'm Miss Parker but call me Jada. I'm Mr Stokes Assistant"

"Nice meeting you too and feel free to call me Lexi"

"Okay Lexi. Let me show you your office"

We took the lift and stopped on the fourth floor. We passed through the hallway and stopped by a door which she opened.

"This is your office and the other one is for Mr Stokes" she said pointing at another door which was inside my office

"Oh...okay. So the boss will have to make use of...this door"

"Not necessary. That is if he wants to"

"What do you mean?"

"He has his own personal door but he can still make use of this if he want to"

"Oooh...ooooh" I said digesting in the information

"This is his schedule for this week and next week" she said putting down some of the files she was carrying

"Okay"

"Have a nice day"

"You too"

I sat down on my comfortable office chair and felt how smooth the leather was with my hands before calling Cynthia to update her about what was happening.

I called her twice and decided to message her instead since she wasn't picking up her phone

'Not a prank but I still don't understand what is going on. I'm going to update you as soon as everything is clear to me. Bye'

I scanned through the files and later decided to get myself something to eat since I didn't plan any.

I stepped out of my office and had hardly took four steps before rushing back inside and jamming the door with my back

'Holy cow! What is he doing here! How can this be happening to me! What am I going to do now? How am I going to survive this?'

Knock knock

"Miss Tyler! Miss Tyler, you in?" A familiar voice said

"Lexi, what have you done?" I asked myself. My heartbeat was raising so fast I could swear the guy at the other side could hear it. I was sweating and I was sure my panic attack was already setting in.

"Miss Tyler!"

'How are you going to survive other days if you can't even survive your first day at work' I thought and gathered all the strength in me to take my back off the door and opened it

"Are you okay?" Someone was asking me but my vision was too blurry for me to identify who

"Miss Tyler look at me! Can you see me? Can you hear me now?" The person was asking

"Miss Tyler!"

Now my vision was back to normal and I was able to identify the person who was asking me the questions. I pretended not to hear and used the opportunity to take in everything that was happening in front of me.

I was lying horizontally on the ground and a familiar face with a worried expression was looking down on me.

"Miss Tyler! Can you hear me?" The man said again

It was the nameless guy which I had spent a night with a week ago.

"Miss Tyler!" He said again and then something moved underneath my head. I rotated my eyes from left to right to understand what just happened and almost screamed when everything became clear.

'So, Lexi you aren't lying on the ground but on the nameless guy laps. Exactly what you need right now' I thought and stylishly got out of his laps and adjusted my pencil skirt.

"Thanks"

"You don't have to"

"What happened?"

"I was knocking, you weren't answering, so, I came in and saw you falling"

"Oh thank you"

"Like I've said earlier, you don't have to" he said while getting up "You must be Miss Tyler?" He said formally. Too formal for my liking
