BILLIONAIRE’S SECRETARY

He knew that it was Christina because she was the only person that was in the mansion with him.

Her shadow moved in so fast like she was in a hurry or something.

She stood for a while as she looked in the direction he was going, possibly because the laptop screen was on and was at the highest brightness.

Then he saw her pressing her phone, and shortly after, her phone touch lit up as she looked for the switch and turned it on.

While she looked around the room and turned back to the direction where he was, she stood in shock.

All he did at that moment was looking at her from her head to her feet.

“Wow, I never expected this,” he said to himself as he could not believe that she could look so good in pajamas, she looked like a child while dressed up like that.

Maybe later he would confront her about that, who knows?

Finally, he came back to his senses and he began to question her.

“Christina, I did not employ you to barge in here like this,” Mr. Gavriel said as he stared at her.

“I am sorry, Mr. Gavriel, I did not mean to barge in like this. I was…” Tina was still trying to explain herself when Mr. Gavriel interrupted her.

She had tried her possible best to avoid him, and now she did not just run into him but barged into his study room.

Finally, fate has decided that she will not get what she wants.

“Did your parents not teach you manners? Did they not teach you how to knock before entering someone’s room or disrupting their privacy?”

“Did they not teach you that?” Mr. Gavriel asked furiously as he got up from the chair in which he was sitting and walked towards her.

“How could he mention my parents in a matter like this? It was my fault for not knocking before barging in because I never expected to see him here, and now he is mentioning my parents,” Tina thought to herself as she instantly felt like crying because those words hurt her so much, but she promised herself never to shed her precious tears in front of this devil called Mr. Gavriel, and it would not happen today is her first day here. She finally decided to endure all the ill-treatment, insults, and shortcoming she would receive from Mr. Gavriel and

Now she started missing her parents because of the statement he made as tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back because she did not want to show him that she was a weakling.

“I am so sorry, Mr. Gavriel, I was looking for the kitchen so I could prepare dinner, I did not mean to barge into your study room.” Tina apologized rather than talking back at him about the words he spoke about her parents.

“Wow, you have got nerves to speak back at me, while you are at fault, how dare you talk back at me, have you suddenly forgotten your place in this house?” Mr. Gavriel said in a very splenetic tone, and it made her so sick in the stomach.

“Tina, what wrong have you done to deserve this?” She asked herself this question because she did not know how else to respond to her wrathful boss.

“Mr. Gavriel, I definitely know my place here at your house, I just needed to find the kitchen because, when I came into this house, you did not tell me where important places like this were located, so I had to find them myself. And I am so sorry for badgering you into your study room, but I think I would have to continue my search by myself,” Tina said sarcastically with a clenched jaw.

She was so frustrated as she wondered what she did wrong. She had already apologized to Mr. Gavriel, why was he making such a big deal out of it? It seems like he is bent on frustrating her.

“Get out this instant!” Mr. Gavriel ordered in a murderous tone, and the way that voice sounded sent shivers down her spine, and she criticized herself for speaking in that manner to him.

Since he ordered that she get out, she would rather leave because he might strangle her any moment now.

Without second thoughts, Tina walked out of the study room and closed the door behind her, leaving Mr. Gavriel to handle his senseless mood swings.

TINA

“Oh, my goodness, what was that in there?” I asked myself while taking deep breaths as I carefully opened the last door in the hallway and peered inside to check if anyone was there, and finally, it was the kitchen I had been searching for that cost me an annoying insult.

I finally entered the kitchen and I glanced around.

“So all the while I was searching for you, you were here all that time,” I said as my voice echoed in the kitchen.

The kitchen had light black cabinets with triple doors, and I opened the cabinet.

Wow, these cabinets were filled with dishes, cups, and bowls on one side and spices along with a box of assorted celestial seasoning tea and boxes of assorted individual packs of oatmeal on the other.

To the right, below the cabinet doors, is the sink, which was very neat and free of dirty plates.

There are inbuilt cabinets where the gas, microwave, and heater are located. Another dish rack was on the other side of the cabinet.

There was a shiny white refrigerator that was located about 20 centimeters away from the cabinet. There was another black microwave and a biscuit-colored convection oven about 10 centimeters away from the refrigerator. There was also a wine cabinet, which was filled with assorted wines of different kinds, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic.

I kept on moving around the kitchen in awe and bewilderment.

“This kitchen is way bigger than the sitting room.” I thought to myself.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
