Chapter 3 FIRED! NOT FIRED!

I gulped as I stared at the bold inscription on his desk.

"Lewis King?" I read out loud in disbelief.

No! This wasn't possible. I know who I slept with last night. All right then in this case there was only one explanation.

I raised my gaze to meet his. "You lied to me then. You lied your name is Liam."

He gave me that annoying stare before stating. "Miss Mchan, I won't repeat myself again, I didn't sleep with you last night. That's my name on the inscription and Liam is my twinn."

I stopped for a moment then scoffed. "Geeze! I almost believed you. You're so good at lying you know? Why sleep with me if you were gonna deny me anyway."

"For the last time Miss Mchan, It wasn't me last night. I don't sleep with whores!"

Now I was mad.

"Say it again!"

"I don't sleep with whores now get out from my office Miss Mchan before I call for security."

I stood there, totally unfazed by his threat, I was fired already anyway.

"I'll go but first I need to check something." I said then marched around over to his desk.

I gripped his collar and tugged at his buttons.

"What are you doing?"

"Checking for evidence!"

Aha! I eyed his neck.

"Look, I may have been drunk last night but I clearly remember that there's a little mole on your neck."

Obviously furious, he tore my hands away from his chest.

"I'm calling security." He said and started to turn but I grabbed his shoulder and spun him around.

He opened his mouth to protest but I was faster, possessively, I claimed his mouth with mine.

For some seconds, he froze. For those few seconds I explored the mouth that ate me up last night. I traced my tongue around the seam of his lips, nibbling, sucking, I opened my mouth to go deeper but then his hand shoved me away.

Furiously, he cleaned his lips with the sleeve of his shirt.

"You're a mad woman!" He spat.

I licked my lips as I checked for differences. I really couldn't find any maybe cause he was shocked and wasn't responding.

"I didn't get it, let me try again!"

"If you come near me Miss Mchan, I swear you'll sleep behind bars tonight. Get out!"

"Fine, I will but before I go I just want to tell you that I'm not anything of what you said. I'm not a whore, I didn't fake my CV and lastly, no one helped me get this job! I don't even know anyone who works here."

He opened his mouth to say something when a knock sounded.

"Come in!" He said then hastily rearranged his tie and collar.

I took a seat on the couch, pretending everything was okay.

"Mr. King, here's the file you asked for."

That voice, it was only one person in this entire world I knew possessed such a hard commanding voice.

I snapped my head and gasped when I saw my Mum.

Drawn by the noise, she turned to face me.

"Shelly," she called my name calmly, like she knew we were always meant to meet in this office.

"You know her?" I heard him ask.

"Yes, she's my daughter." My mother replied confidently.

"Interesting, Miss Mchan, didn't you say you didn't know anyone working in this company?"

"I said apart from my mum," I quickly chipped in and gave an awkward smile. "So much questions and answers in this meeting."

"I didn't know you were having a meeting, I'll leave you two to it. I take my leave Mr. King." My mother said then made her way out of the office.

"Interesting," I heard him say. "Mrs Mchan Miriana is your mother, one of our senior directors, yet you said no one helped you get this job."

I ignored him. "What can I do for you Liam?"

"Nothing. Get out of my office, you're fired! And never call me that name again."

Head held up high, I got up from the couch and made my way to the door.

Once out, I sighted the Chubby woman who smiled wildly at me.

"Congratulations!" She said excitedly

A wry smile formed at the corners of my lips. My confidence obviously deceived her.

I returned the wide smile to her. Still smiling, I watched her walk over to me.

"Here," she said and placed a huge bunch of keys in my palm.

"Here are the keys to everything, the drawers, doors and the office car keys is in one of the drawers."

My smile faded.

"Wait! What?"

She went on, "in that drawer over there, I kept a journal that contains some instructions, tips, advice and ways to go about things here."

"Wait! Wait! Why are you giving these to me?"

Ignoring me, she raced over to her bag and snatched it from the seat then she raced back to me.

"It's so horrible working for that man, he's as cold as ice. I'm so glad I get to return to the IT unit." She smiled again, widely, she always smiles widely.

"You're so lucky."

"I'm so lucky?"

She nodded. "I wish I have a mother or family who works as a director here."

"Wait, that - it - it isn't what you..."

"Byeee!" She said then raced to the door.

"And oh! One more thing, avoid his twinn, you don't wanna be involved with that womanizer trust me."

"Wait! What? H-he really has a twinn?" I asked but the over excited Miss Clark didn't hear me.

"Byeee!" She said then slipped through the door.

Seconds passed, then a minute or two. I just stood there like a total idiot.

Sighing I looked at the bunch of keys. Miss Clark had got it all wrong. I've been fired and who on earth told her who my mother is?

Oh no! Don't tell me my mum went blabbering to her that I'm her daughter and I got hired as the CEO's secretary.

Well, I've been fired and that's it.

I went to the desk and dropped the keys, turning around when I heard the door open.

"Miss Mchan," a man dressed in a white T-shirt to match his black pants called as he walked in.

"You must be Shelly?"

Wondering how he knew my name, I numbly nodded.

"Good," he said then placed a pile of files on my desk. "Mr. King needs to sign on these, see to it that you forward these to him this week. It's for the marketing department."

I opened my mouth to say something but he turned his back and hastily left.

What on earth was this, how did he know my name? Who told him I was the secretary? No one in this company knows I'm the newly hired secretary, so how?

Could it be my mum? I shuddered what if she went around telling people that I'm her daughter and I got hired as the CEO's secretary.

No! No! This shouldn't be happening. No one should know I was hired cause in that way, they weren't going to find out that I was fired.

I grabbed my bag. Mr. King fired me already, I should leave now.

I turned to go when my phone buzzed. I retrieved it from my bag and read the caller ID.

It was my mum, so I hit the answer button quickly.

I stood there and listened to her speak from the other end of the line.

Listening to her speak, I felt like dying. Quickly I grabbed my handkerchief and wiped my sweat.

What on earth had I gotten myself into?
