As Camila toured the building, her colleagues were very welcoming, but she could hear them whispering among themselves after she walked past. Everyone seemed incredibly curious about the new arrival. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
By the time they reached the fifth floor, the CEO was already in a meeting with the senior executives in the conference room.
Camila took her seat at her desk in the CEO’s office, which she shared with eight other employees.
“Are you Camila?” A man in a suit approached her with a smile.
“Yes, how can I help you?” Camila replied, standing up
“I’m Alan, the CEO’s executive assistant.”
Alan was a university student sponsored by the Passos family and had been working at Passos Corporation ever since he graduated. He’s placed with Connor, the founder of this tech company, so that he could work closely with him.
Connor was dedicated to developing innovative technologies centered around robotics, independent of the resources from Passos Corporation. In just a few years, the company’s products had gained international acclaim.
What remained unknown to the public was that he was the youngest grandson of the renowned billionaire, Ray.
Connor was a total workaholic, often working late into the night and not staying at his family estate, which worried Ray about his health. Ray insisted that Connor needed a personal secretary to take care of his daily routines, or else he would have to move back to the family estate. Reluctantly, Connor agreed..
In just a few months, Alan had proposed eleven candidates, but none met Connor’s standards, regardless of gender. He heard about a bright and diligent assistant manager from the branch office and had no choice but to request her transfer.
The moment he saw Camila, he was impressed. “This position will mainly involve managing Mr. Connor’s daily schedule and assisting me with my work. It will be busy, and overtime will be compensated according to labor laws, with additional allowances as detailed in the employee handbook, Alan explained.
“As for Mr. Connor, he has high standards, is a perfectionist, and values privacy. Remember, don’t ask questions that shouldn’t be asked, and don’t say things that shouldn’t be said,
“One of your most important duties will be ensuring Mr. Connor has his breakfast and lunch. Every morning, you’ll need to arrive early at Mr. Connor’s house to make sure he eats his breakfast
“Breakfast?” Camila blurted out in surprise. She skipped breakfast and was expected to ensure her boss ate his? Also, didn’t that mean leaving home before dawn? No wonder no one lasted long in this job.
“If Mr. Connor refuses to eat, what can I do?” Camila asked with a forced smile.
“Just tell him it’s his grandfather’s directive. He won’t make it too hard on you,” Alan reassured her with a smile. “Here’s Mr. Connor’s home address and the code. Just be there before 8:30 AM. Mr. Connor doesn’t like people invading his personal space, so try to make yourself as inconspicuous as possible”
Camila glanced at the address it was in a top–tier luxury area! She maintained her smile with effort. Although it wasn’t far from the office, that area had no subway access.

Alan seemed to guess her thoughts and added with a smile, “The company will cover your taxi fare.”
Camila’s smile became much more genuine.
Suddenly, the door to the conference room opened – the meeting must have ended.
“Mr. Connor is coming: Alan whispered.
Following Alan’s gaze, Camila turned to look. The moment she saw her boss, her mind was struck as if by lightning, her body tingling. from head to toe.
Her eyes widened in shock. It was him! The man from that night!
Connor walked towards where she was standing.
