LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

She was met with different workers, as they busily worked on their computer screens. She felt frightened somehow but being the strong girl that she was, she stood her ground. Acting all brave and tough.

They only stop on the third floor. Derrick shows her seat, she doesn’t waste time and immediately takes her seat. Knowing she was in Keane’s company, there was no room for personal treatment. An average-height guy walks to her with files and places them on her table. She didn’t need him to say another word as she started flipping the pages.

“What am I to do here?” she asked. He politely explains her work and what is required. She nodded when he was done explaining and started working there and then. Her work mood was activated.

“I’m impressed to see you so focused and determined,” Derrick said. She smiles and continues doing her work.

She was given the post of financial secretary.

with everything left in her, she worked and worked, willing to make a success. There was no trying in her work, it’s either excellent or excellent. Knowing the consequences of her failure, she didn’t want to give failure a try.

It was lunchtime, and everyone was out for lunch but she was still there, working. She would love to hop along eating lunch and resting off her aching brains but she can’t… not because she wasn’t allowed to but because she didn’t have the money to get lunch for herself. Her stomach grumbles, reminding her of her biggest mistake of not taking her breakfast. She yawns, rubbing her belly. Her eyes were glued to her screen and her hands were typing on her keyboard. A line appears on her forehead as she stares at the computer screen.

“is it the normal way for workers not to be friendly to each other or am I the one seeing things the other way?” she thought inwardly. It was strange as to why no one had talked to her since she came.

She was so immersed in her thoughts that she didn’t realize Derrick was standing by her side.

“no break?” He asked to take a seat.

“I could say that” She cries. He understood her.

“get some rest now… my treat” He pulls her off her seat, pulling her along with him.

She stares at him, not understanding what she did to gain his love and friendship. Ever since she stepped into Keane’s mansion, or rather ever since she spoke to him in the car, he has always been treating her like his little sister. This leaves her wondering if there was more to him just being kind ’cause she could feel a strange feeling, that she can’t explain.

She follows him silently, not bothering to untangle their hands. They stood by the roadside. He holds on to her shoulder as if protecting her from harm and leads her across the road. They walk into the restaurant. like a gentleman that he was, he pulled out a seat for her. She accepted and took her seat. It was supposed to be strange, she was supposed to feel awkward but she didn’t. It was like it was a normal thing for her. She felt so relaxed with the way he treated her.

He ordered a meal for them. It was very expensive. She looked at the menu and saw the price tag by the side. With wide eyes, she stares at him.

If multiplied by the price of one meal, it could be worth her two years of hard work. She was sure her house rent wouldn’t have been a problem for her. But the question is, how can he be able to afford such an expensive meal? Or rather, why would he spend so much on food when he could just save the money? Even though she knew he was Keane’s assistant, they were still something fishy about him, something she couldn’t place her hands on… Just who the hell is he?

She thought to herself, staring at him.

“to earth, Smiles… what are you thinking? have been calling you for hours now, it’s almost four in the evening,” He said checking on his watch.

“Sorry, I got lost thinking,” she said, lowering her head down in embarrassment.

“you were staring at me while lost in thought, hmm… surely you were thinking about me” He flashes her a proud smile. Her face twists a little.

“And why should I?” she raised a brow questioningly.

“cause I am handsome,” He said and arranged his suit. tugging his hair behind.

“Ok, Mr. Handsome,” She said. They both laugh.

Their food was served for a little while. She eats, enjoying the meal before her. She was famished and didn’t care if people were there or not. All she knew at that moment was that her stomach needed food.

After what seems like a life of eating for Smiles, she drinks her juice rubbing it on her stomach.

“It’s amazingly delicious” she praises. Derrick nods in agreement smiling.

“You ate something bizarre,” He said. She smiles at his words.

“I know right? can we go now before I get sanctioned for lateness?” she walks out with him behind.

“sure… no one will want to incur his wrath on themselves” He jokes.

She spends the rest of her day working. Derrick drove her home, and she was grateful he did. Who knows what would have happened if she didn’t? She was so exhausted. Her whole body ached but most of all, her brain was as if it was trying to break free from her head. She prepared a warm bath and immersed herself, trying so hard to relax her muscles. Staring at the ceiling, she kept on wondering to herself if this was all about her life… She swells her hands, cashing the foams, playing with them.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Her eyes caught sight of the spot she was bathing when Keane barged in… Her memory was now floating with Keane, every corner of her head was him.

“Just when will he come?” She asked out loud…

It was unknown what she was thinking but the question is, was she already fallen for Keane?
