Chapter 2 The CEO is Single

The CEO of McCarthney Real Estates Private Limited is Brad Logward. His father retired last year, and it was his wife who helped him in his business. As his mother fell ill and passed away few months back, his father took an entire break from the business world. He would socialize with his friends and exercise regularly to keep himself heathy.

Brad, his eldest son, became his successor but it was overwhelming for him to be in the position. Mr. McCarthney suggested for an assistant for his son so that he can manage his schedule easily. He was reluctant in the beginning but upon request, Brad decided to give it a try.

Brad always grew and socialize with women who were ready to throw themselves at him. He enjoyed attention but was also known for his cold nature. He was always busy with his work and often end up overworking which caused Mr. McCarthney worry about his health. The assistant seemed like a good idea for Mr. McCarthney and hoped he would have a better work-life balance eventually. If an assistant is hired, he would be able to date a woman with the focus on a serious relationship as he would have some free time.

Brad was not happy with the idea of relationships. He was not impressed with woman who were ready to date him. He did not see a challenge or anything interesting. However, he did have intentions of physical intimacy and hence, hoped to hire a sexy assistant. He did not tell his intentions to his father though but was keen on hiring an assistant himself that could match his standards.

Considering his standard of a female assistant, she should be open minded, she should have a good figure and pretty face. She should have elegance and charm so that she is able to carry herself well in front of clients. He was also focused on their hygiene levels surrounding their hair, oral and clothing aspects. He hates messy women.

To top it all, he is a tall man, and he was hoping for someone who could match his height. As he can show her off in social circles that are associated with business partners. Basically, he was looking for someone who could match him by looks, body, height, and style. He wanted her to be particularly fashionable, girly, and stylish. He respects feminine nature of woman and ultimately, these are his standards for an assistant he wants to hire.

Lily was approached through an online job portal as he noticed her cute face in the resume that was uploaded. She was mailed immediately for an interview but as she did not expect any email from an employer, she ended up checking and replying to the email after a day.

She apologized to the sender over the email and agreed to visit the office the next day. He waited patiently for her to reach office, but she was in a mess as she was already late for the interview. He didn't like her messy hair and that made him frown immediately. She was only five feet and way shorter than him. She looked like a cute, teenage woman and no way around the thirties as she mentioned in her resume.

He summarized the job profile about planning his travel itineraries, meeting schedules, client email handling and management, remind and accompany him for the meetings, and plan business lunch or dinners with clients which also includes the menu. He was surprised that she didn't look old for her age and no way matched any of his standards. He continued with the interview, and he was not sure why. He would have immediately rejected her for her height and face to start with but something in him didn't want to.

She was selected and he was not sure why he selected her. she was impressed by her resume and her innocence at this age. He felt her energy to be very positive that got him smiling as he noticed her angry and awkward face which is not usual among the women he has met so far. The hesitation to show off her private parts surprised him and that generated an interest to know her even more. He found her different and interesting for a reason unknown.

Brad is the most eligible bachelor in the city of Tayk and probably the whole country. He has helped his father run his business as a member of the board of directors since the age of eighteen. Although he has a younger brother, Shaun, he preferred to stay away from the real estate business and started his own venture in the gaming industry.

Shaun has a personality opposite to Brad. While Brad is a serious man radiating coldness in office, Shaun is everyone's favorite as he is always sociable and cheerful. Brad is a workaholic who buries himself at work while Shaun believes in recreation and fun in life. Nevertheless, they both love each other and do indulge in good conversations during mealtimes at home.

Both the brothers are rich, handsome and have many women aspiring to be their life partners. However, although Shaun actively indulges in dating scenes, Brad never had the time to get involved with any woman. He would lose interest after a few minutes of conversation, and he would eventually cancel the date.

Mr. McCarthney tried to introduce him to his friends' daughters, he was not impressed by their 'no personality' and dumb nature. His father eventually gave up but never gave up on reminding him to take time out at least to meet a few women on dates. Hence, the overall idea of having an assistant was to free his time for dates until he finds the right woman for his son.
