Chapter 3 Confusion

Hailey's POV:

I turn around my swivel chair, hold my head, and shut my eyes for a moment.

Ugh! So early in the daylight and yet I'm so overwrought now!

I turn my swivel chair again until I heard the door opens. I face up who is it and arches my brows.

"You're late" He looks so fresh in the morning, not like me that looks so stressed at the beginning of the day. He closes the door and I noticed that he's holding two cups of coffee.

"My apology, Ms. Selveria.I went to Our Province that's why I just directly here at the company" I glance at him and I felt that my brows furrowed.

"Something happens, emergency" He added and give me the one cup of coffee, Cappuccino

One of my favorite.

" You look so stressed, May I know why your face is like that, Ms. Selveria?"His serious face always making might stare at him for a long. I can't deny that he looks so hot, his face is not common, different.

"Just a word. Why didn't you told me about that? So you can absent even for days" He shook his head and walk to his table. He opens his laptop immediately and leaned on his chair.

He turned my gazes on me

"Drink your coffee" I sigh and get the cup of coffee, I'm still thinking about mu problem, I do have many lots of works and I can't afford to still attend to that.

"Ms. Selveria?" I instantly look at him when he ruined my deep thoughts. I realized that my pen fell on the floor.

I'm about to get that when a hand appeared in front of me and get my Parker pen. I look away because I almost kiss his forehead!

"What?" I asked not looking at him, I felt that he's still standing in front of me. I couldn't afford to look at him,

My heart is beating so fast!

Not in myself, I drink the coffee I'm being weird so much

What the-

I burst out the coffee from my mouth when it's too hot.

"Are you crazy?!" I look at him annoyed. The nerve of this man!

He even looks away to suppress his laugh.D*mn it.

I don't like this day, I'm not in the mood, and yet he still added that!

"Why you're so fast? You almost drink half of the coffee"I calm myself and look at the cup of coffee, he's right. What's happening to me.

This is insane, Hailey.D*mn it!

I stand up to change my clothes. Ugh! I like my outfit for today but someone ruined it!

" Ms. Selveria?"I turned around to see him with so frustrating look. I took a glance at the table and to the floor.

Tsk.

"Call Patty" I uttered and open the door of my private room but I heard him mention my name again.

D*mn it! D*mn it! D*mn it!

"Can you stop mentioning my name! Just direct to the point!" I annoyingly said. He breathes deeply and tilted his head.

"Sorry, I will just say it later, Ms. Selveria" I walk away but his reaction flashed in my mind. I feel guilty for no reason, What's happening to me?

Did I being too much?

My thoughts just let me more confused. You're not like this, Hailey. You didn't even affect every action of employees you have.

This can't be. I may be just be stressed that's why I'm thinking like this.

After I changed my clothes, I look at my reflection wearing a beige color dress. I sighed, this is not passed In my taste but I don't have a choice, I forgot to buy another dress so I have a stock for this room, I only wearing dresses between black and red no other than.

I don't know why I have this kind of dress...

I turn my lipstick into a simple shade because that is more suit in my beige dress.

I fake a cough before I sit on ny swivel chair, then I turned my gaze at him when he's so quiet. I just let it and look at my laptop, there I saw one of my flings email me.

Email is only for my work, How happen that he knows my Gmail account?

'Planning to go to your condo tonight'

I read in his email, I just realized that I read it aloud because Jace is looking at me.

"Oh no, It's not for you it's uh-someone just message me. Continue your work" I smiled and I instantly look away.

Why would you do that, Hailey?

You're not smiling at your employee?!

He fakes a cough but he didn't talk so I just continue what I'm doing.

Did he got annoyed because of what I acted on earlier?

I close my eyes. You're not affecting, Hailey right?

Right.

I took a glance at him when I felt that someone is looking at me.

"Who's going to your condo?" He seriously uttered. I bit my lip and arched my brows. What does he mean?

"I mean, I heard that someone is going to your condo tonight. I wonder if it's your business partner, Ms. Hailey" I nodded slowly when I realized what did he uttered. His expression changes now not like earlier, calmer.

"Hmm" I look at my laptop, I don't know what to say, or is it required to reply? I used to ignore so many questions because I hate noisy people but this one is different-how it got different, Hailey?

Do I still make sense? I feel like I'm insane tsk.

"So if it's your business partner, I can go with you. Since I'm your Secretary-

" No, it's alright. Just my fling no business-related don't worry"I eyed my laptop again and then I saw him email me again.

"Come in" I uttered while I'm typing on the laptop

'Sure, 8 pm' I sent to Cyrus. Then I look at Patty who's organizing our lunch at the coffee table.

"Thanks, Patty" She smiled at me before leaving the office. I took a glimpse at My Secretary and he's so busy on the telephone.

Maybe, the investors.

I gesture him to eat lunch and he nodded. I stand up and get papers on my drawers. I almost forgot the pending that I need to sign.

"Why you eat lunch first?" He asked but I refuse, I start to read the documents, The other one is the proposal.

I bit my lip, I saw one mistake in the document that's why I'm planning to give it back to my employees.

I want always to perfect. I may be that strict but the result was excellent.

Our company is the highest rating not just in one country but in the whole world.

"Why you're not eating yet?" I raise a brow when I saw the uneaten foods.

"I'm not eating alone, Eat with me" I close my eyes and leaned on the swivel chair when my twisted mind works again, That's not what he meant, Hailey

Calm down your ass, tsk.

This is bad, I didn't have s*x with anyone last night that's why.

I stand up and try to avoid thinking like that when he's around. Don't know why, I just don't want to.

You can't stop the temptation, Hailey.

"Anyway, What are you wanting to say a while ago?" I sit and break the silence between us. I feel guilty again when I remember what did I do.

"You know, I want to say sorry for what happened-

" No, It's alright, Ms. Selveria"I get the utensils and starting to eat. I'm not always eating lunch meals, seldom.

"So what do you wanted to say?" He stops eating and took a glance at me. He drinks water first, I watch his moves and I must say. I will never stop saying that he's so f*cking hot.

Not in myself, I drink water too and get the tissue beside me. I look at the Aircon

Why it is so hot?

"I feel ashamed for asking you this but I need to.." He even avoided his gazes. I curiously took a glance at him and I put down the glass on the table and wipe my lip slightly.

"What is it? Maybe I can help" I almost choke at what I said.

You're not offering a d*mn help, Hailey.

Well, He's my Secretary so it's not...a big deal

"If I can borrow some money?-I know I'm just new here but I need money right now" He tilted his head, I bit my lip while looking at him.

All my life, I never got a financial problem

Some ideas form in my mind. I will help him and he will help me, We're going to benefit each other. smiled in my thoughts and glimpse at him again.

"Sure, No problem" His face got lighten and glance at me directly.

I smiled at him sweetly

"But in one condition..." I chuckle when I read the nervousness in his face, I went closer to him that made him more nervous, I put my hand on his leg and whisper to his ear.

"Be mine for tonight" I seductively uttered that stop him from breathing. I winked at him while waiting for what he's going to answer. He swallowed greedily with hesitating eyes.

Before he could answer me I burst out of laugh.

"I'm just kidding but...it's not impossible right?" I whisper but he just looks away.

Trust me no one can resist my charm. A man couldn't resist a temptation.

"You need to attend a seminar" I change the topic when I notice that he's not comfortable when we're talking about that.

Is he a man? tsk.

I never met a man like him, All men here never refuse my offer. They're the ones who're offering me.

He looks at me directly while I'm in a serious mode now. When it's business I will kinda be serious, My employees can describe how strict I am when it comes to business

But they also know my other side...

" A Seminar?"I sighed, I don't know if he can understand it because he's just new. Every year there's a seminar and the invitation will always be sent to the owner of the company, You need to send a representative of your company.

Common representatives are always the CEO of the company. Since I'm the CEO, I'm always the one who's attending the seminar but this one is different

I'm swamped

Jace gave a good performance, I noticed it. He can be the CEO of this company, if ever. He has potential and I know the Seminar can help him to widen his knowledge.

He's just new but his works amaze me, Every report that he's doing. I think he's suited to be my secretary.

Not just his looks but he's a full package.

And I know someday, He will be a successful man. Just like what I said he has potential and I will understand if he will move someday, Not as a Secretary but higher than that.

This Industry has many opportunities that will help him and I'm not going to be a hindrance-Wait why I am thinking like this, anyway? It's like your planning for his future, Hailey!

I breathe heavily, This is bad D*mn it.

"As like what I said earlier, Yes you need to attend a Seminar and I chose you as a representative of this company"

"But I'm just now. And I'm a Secretary-

" You need money right? Then do what I said"I stand up and planning to work now. I'm always wasting a time when I'm with him.

I just realized that we wasted 2 hours. I mean, We just talk short, I don't know how to happens that.

I always manage my time and always according to my plan. I never wasted a time.

D*mn it, This time...This day getting weirder and weirder day by day.

I glance at him and he's thinking deeply while looking at the wall. I close my eyes.

Hailey, This can't be.

Am I in love..again?

No, no, no

I will never be in love again

Never.
