BILLIONAIRE’S SECRETARY

“I am so sorry, Anabelle, it just looked like a mini date to me,” Zoey said as Anabelle pulled out a chair for her to sit on, on which Zoey sat, and Phillip took out a chair for himself as he sat down.

“It is okay… I am not upset. I just wanted to inform you that respect is reciprocal… age does not matter who you should respect, so just think about what I told you,” Anabelle advised as she patted Zoey on the head.

“Okay, I will do just that… thank you,” Zoey appreciated.

“Luca, please, can you buy lunch for me and Phillip? Our stomachs are grumbling,” Zoey pleaded, keeping a baby-like facial expression that would make anyone fall easily.

“Okay, Phillip, you can follow Zoey to get you guys lunch,” Luca said, because if he did not accept, Zoey was going to pester him, and he did not want that.

“Luca, thank you so much. I am so glad to be your assistant,” Zoey said joyfully as she got up from her chair.

“You should not pretend here, Zoey… just tell us you have gotten what you wanted.” Phillip shunned her, and they all laughed as the two went to order their lunch.

Shortly after, Zoey and Phillip were back with a tray containing their desired recipe in each of their hands. As they kept the tray on the table and started devouring their food, it seemed they were so hungry.

“Guys, have you noticed something lately about Christina, Mr. Gavriel’s new secretary?” Zoey asked as she sipped a large amount of her juice.

“How? What do you mean? Anabelle asked.

“Have you not noticed it? I thought you were in charge of the employees’ affairs,” Phillip said, which made Luca feel disgusted.

“Phillip, we all know that Anabelle is a very busy person in this company… If she does not know what is occurring, it is definitely not her fault because the Christina in question just resumed her post today, and you guys are already noticing stuff about her. Even if you know something, please do not treat Anabelle like that… she is our superior and has been very nice to us,” Luca said truthfully to Phillip, as Anabelle got surprised at Luca’s reaction towards Phillip.

Anabelle has been doing a great job and has also been nice to the employees working in the Seamus Group of Companies, but most importantly, she cherishes Luca, Zoey, and Phillip. Of course, Phillip was right about the fact that she did not know what was going on because everything felt suspicious to her, but Tina resumed today and she has not set her eyes on her since morning… Maybe that is the reason she did not seem to know what went wrong.

“Guys, let us not fight over this, okay? I am sure we can talk it out, right?” Anabelle asked.

“Yes, Phillip, Luca is right… you should not have spoken in that manner, so I am not in support of that, and Anabelle is also right… we should not fight over stuff like this… we can always discuss it,” Zoey added as she looked at her feet.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, Anabelle, I am so sorry I did not think before spilling out those words.” Phillip apologized to Anabelle.

“That is okay! I am not upset or something… I just feel like we can talk about this together, like everyone would say something about what he or she noticed recently,” Anabelle said as she looked from one person to the next and sipped her juice.

“That is right, and Anabelle, I was trying to tell you this earlier, but you said food comes first,” Luca said as Zoey laughed at the way he said, “Food comes first.”

“I am serious… that was exactly what she told me,” Luca said sincerely.

“Okay, I thought you wanted to tell me something else, so who wants to go first?” Anabelle asked.

“I will,” Zoey said.

“Okay,” Phillip said.

“This morning when I saw Christina, she looked pale, like she did not have a good rest, and she had dark circles under her eyes,” Zoey said, as she demonstrated by touching the underside of her eyes.

“So what does that have to do with her job?” Anabelle asked, looking more interested in hearing more.

“Exactly, I do not seem to get your point,” Luca said when he could not fix the picture, and Phillip nodded in affirmation.

“Exactly, but see how that comes into the picture. I overheard Mr. Aaron talking to someone on the phone. Mr. Gavriel gave the new secretary a contract to sign before she could resume her work here. She said the contract entitled her to be his secretary, housekeeper, and submissive. That was all I could hear before I got a call from my mom,” Zoey explained, and Anabelle looked so surprised, but Luca was not that surprised, as was Phillip, who kept an emotionless facial expression.

“What the hell! Christina came to work today, which possibly means that she signed the contract.” Anabelle stammered.

“Now I get the picture of why she looked so scared when Mr. Gavriel called her earlier this morning, which was before noon,” Luca said as he kept staring at the dishes in front of him.

“Woah, I never thought or expected a thing like this to happen, and I actually did not notice anything, but I knew something was not right, like Mr. Gavriel has never employed a secretary here in twenty years and suddenly he employed her, but if my brain is still functioning, what I understand about this contract is that she is currently his secretary, and of course his house help, which means she is living in the same house with him, and as his submissive, she has to submit herself to him… he dominates her, and she has no say in whatever Mr. Gavriel does to her, whether good or bad, because that was the contract she signed,” Phillip explained.

“Oh my God, this is bad!” Anabelle exclaimed as she poured another round of juice into her glass cup.
