"Dad! Let's go home." Jamie says as she got bored staring at her dad working. She has been doing the same once she returned from the tour of the company. Oliver takes his leave and goes to his office and continues with his works. She did admit that her father had done a nice job decorating the company. She sure was fascinated with the beauty of the company.
She loved how classic as well as modern vibes arises upon scanning the company. She then pouts her lips showing puppy eyes hoping that he would fall for her tricks. And as always It works. William signs arranging the documents and stands up making his way to the door.
"I love you Dad!"
She follows back making the older smile happily. He loves how his daughter always making him happy and giddy with her presence. He truly feels grateful for having her. They make their way out of the office down towards the exit. As soon as he steps outside, a car was already there waiting for his arrival. He then enters inside with Jamie following him like a lost child. The diver starts the car heading towards their house.
"So? Do you think you are ready? Since tomorrow I won't be coming to the company like I always do. You and Ethan will be handling everything."
"Yes. Dad. Believe in me!" William giggles nodding his head.
Soon the car ride goes silent with Jamie observing the view out of the car. The car stops in front of their home. They get out of the car and enter inside.
------
"I seriously don't get why my dad is doing this all of a sudden.," Ethan says throwing himself on the couch. "What? Don't you want to be a CEO? Huh?" Liam questions with a brow raised. "No~ I don't want a secretary. I can manage. And that boy... I feel something is fishy there." He says with a finger patting against his chin. Liam laughs making the other eye him with an intense glare. "What?" Ethan scoffs.
"Are your jealousy? That your dad would prefer that cute boy more than you?" Ethan jolts upon his place and fists his palm. "I see today you are getting on my nerves. Are you thirsty for my punch?" Liam stops laughing and eye his with an awkward smile. He moves backward gulping and then dashes out of the room.
Ethan then signs and sits back on the couch.
"But still I see you are Jealous. Don't worry I won't leave you!" Liam says peeking his head inside the door. Ethan stands up and runs towards the door with gritted teeth and clenched jaws but Liam runs away laughing hysterically that whole house echoed his laugh. Ethan then groans letting himself fall back onto the couch. He then stands up heading to the washroom for a cold shower so that he could keep himself sane.
------
"What did you just say? CEO?"
"Yes, Mom. From tomorrow onwards he will be working as one. I have been called to." Liam replies with a smile on his face. But it was the complete opposite for his mother. She showed a fake smile but she was burning in anger.
"MOM! I am calling you. What are you thinking?" Liam says with a confused and worried gaze. "No... It's nothing. Just go and fresh up I will prepare your lunch." Liam nods his head and heads towards his room.
[This is not happening. No! Why so fast? Ugh!]
She curses inside her mind. She signs making her way towards the kitchen.

NEXT DAY
"Yah!! Jamie! Wake up!"
"Ugh! Let me sleep some more~" Jamie groans at the person trying to wake her up.
"What the hell Jamie! It's almost 7 o'clock! Isn't today your first day at work?"
Upon this statement, Jamie jolts up on her bed with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. She then pushes away her cover rushing inside the washroom. Laugh evolved her room as Lauren couldn't stop herself from controlling her laugh seeing Jamie running with trembling legs and feared gaze.
"F**k Me! Ugh!! Among all these days I had to sleep this long on my first day of work." She opens the shower but she shrieks when cold water contacts with her skin. She curses again for having such a bad fortune. "Why ME!!"
After a short shower, she brushes her teeth then puts on her clothes making her way out of the room. She picks an apple and bid a goodbye rushing out of the house. "Look at her, she is late on her first day," William says laughing at her daughter rushing out of the house. Sarah joins him and laughs eating peacefully.
Jamie enters the car and drives herself to the company wishing for her dear life.
(In the office)
Ethan reached his office at exactly 7 in the morning but his secretary seems to be late. Now it was 7:15 Am but he got no sight of his secretary and it made his angry. He got no access to his schedule for the day and just kept staring at the office ceilings and counting seconds. He was burning with rage. Just then the door opened with a figure rushing inside with deep breaths and unsteady pants. He eyed her with a flaring nose and a scary facade. She trembled once she meets his gaze boring daggers into her. She gulps unable to find any words.
"I-I...I am s-sorry Sir." She had her head down, Ethan slowly walks to her silently. She was scared of her boss and at this instant, her heart was beating so that in terror that it could leap out of her chest any moment. He stood in front of her. She could see his lower half as she had her head low.
"I see you are on time... Mr. Secretary." He mocks her with his scary voice as she trembles under his gaze. Ethan felt his anger reaching his high as he got no response as Jamie, who stood still in front of him was probably avoiding him. He raises his hands and grabs her chin pulling it up making her face him. She had her eyes wide open at his sudden move but still fear made her weak in front of him. It was the first time fr her to interact with people but here she was being dominated by the scary boss. But most of all, She was not sure why she felt so small under him trembling when she is tough enough to fight for her.
"Don't you dare try to ignore me!" He says making her nod her head in agreement. He then notices their position making him widen his eyes. He leaves her from his gip and maintains distance. He clears his throat walking back to his chair and took a seat.
He extends his hand in the air while Jamie eyes him confused. "Yes?" She replies still confused and brows knitted. He signs with a groan following behind. " Just hand me the damn schedule!" He says pushing his hair back as a habit of his to distract him from losing his sanity. It was a common habit of him, as a way to control himself from showing his true emotions.
"Oh! Yea." Jamie replies with an awkward smile and approaches him with a file she had got a hold off while making her way upstairs. She hands him his schedule and he observes it with a hmm escaping his lips. Jamie sighs in relief once she felt at ease. He then hands her the schedule back and glances up at her. "Cancel that lunch meeting with Mr.Chen. He is not gonna attend." He says standing up. "But why? It has not been informed?" She questions trying to recall such notice. He again signs and speaks "He already did to me. So That cleared your doubt?" He looks at her with a fake smile and gritted teeth. She gulps nodding her head.
"Yes, sir..."She responded with a low voice. He walks towards the door then stops side-eyeing her figure. "Aren't you coming?" He speaks, she jumps at his sudden voice and faces him. "W-Where?" She stutters and he signs. "Are you sure you are good enough for this post. Are you my secretary or am I yours? Shouldn't you know that we have a meeting to attend in 10 minutes?!" He yells making her flinch at his loud voice. She nods her head and approaches him as he turns around and making his way towards the meeting room.
[F**k YOU! Rude monster! I swear If you were not my boss I would have killed you! AH! My life. Please save me, Lord!] She curses under his breath and follows Ethan to the meeting room.
"I can't hear you but I know you are cursing me, pretty boy." Ethan says with a smirk as Jamie rolls her eyes annoyed at him.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
"Dad~" Lauren whines making her way toward the lawn where William was sipping his coffee with a newspaper on his hand. Upon hearing Lauren's voice, He looks around and saw her approaching him. He observes Lauren's pouty face with knitted brows. She then stands in front of him with her hands folded around her chest as she eyes him with slight irritation. "What...?" William questions amused at her unusual behavior. She signs and flumps on the couch beside her dad.
"Why aren't you thinking about me? Hum?" She says glaring at him. "What do you mean by that?" He cocks his right eyebrow slightly taken back by her words. "I have been Idle for a week now. When will you talk about my admission to new uni? I also need to graduate." As soon as she ends her words William bursts out laughing while Lauren scoffs annoyed at her dad. "Are you serious now, Dad?" Lauren says huffing out air as she ways having hard time controlling her burning rage and she didn't want to pour out her anger on her Dad.
"Do you really think I won't be thinking about you?" He says with a raised brow and a smirk visible on his face. "Seems like that to me!" She replies within her gritted teeth and clenched fist. William again laughs but Lauren had enough of her Dad's playfulness. She stood up and made her way inside the house ignoring her Dad's laugh and his calls for her. She enters her room and collapse on the bed with deep breaths. She groans ruffling her hair as she grows more irritated. "Like really? Was it necessary to laugh? It should be him who should have asked me if I wanted to join any university." She says faking a cry and rolling around her bed. She shouts and yells kicking her hands and legs in the air as she tries to keep herself sane.
As she continues with her anger releasing stunt - that obviously looked like a kid throwing tantrums, The door to her room opens revealing a smiling William. She turns around and glares at her dad probably assuming his appearance as a tease. "What now dad? Just go!~" She whines and yells turning around facing her back to him. William chuckles and approaches near her, He takes a seat beside the bed and looks at her sulking figure. He clears his throat and speaks. "Actually I came here to hand you something." He receives no response but silence with both of their silent breath. "Just take a look. It won't take long." He says again but then she turns around with a displeased and annoyed facade. He chuckles as she sat up on her bed. She extends her hand and grabs the paper he was holding in his hand.
She then arranges it upright and then scans the paper. She had her brow furrowed as she goes through the paper. She starts smiling brightly once she completely reads the paper. She then raises her head up to meet his gaze. Then she blinks her eyes rapidly taking in all the new things she just read and she starts squealing. She Hugs him muttering lots of Thank you. "You could have said it to me. It was not necessary to create such a scene." She says pursuing her lips and glaring at him. He chuckles shrugging off. "Just thought it could be a nice surprise?" He says as if he was questioning himself but the girl chuckles holing the paper on her hand with her eyes fixed on her name engraved on the paper.
"So? When will the uni starts?"
"Since its the beginning of the year, I guess after a week?" Lauren nods her head smiling at his response. "So? Happy?" He questions again just to receive a smack on his forearm. He winches from pain as she glares at him. "I would have been more if you had given me this way earlier." She says bringing the paper in front of his face as he scoffs. "I am your dad little girl!" He says then chuckle as she rolls her eyes tucking her tongue out. He stands up exiting the room as Lauren keeps staring at the admission paper smiling brightly. She hugs it squealing getting excited and looking forward to her new university.
-------
"Sir... But the site in the city would be perfect for our new project." One of the workers says trying to explain his point of view. Ethan seems to be deep in his thoughts as he listens to his staff's opinion. He had heard and analyzed every staff's opinion but he was not much satisfied with their explaining and words. He signs and scans the room. He could see some of his staff already having their head low disappointed at their presentation which was true but some tried to brainwash him with their thoughts so that their idea and concept could be used for their upcoming project.
Then his eyes meet with Jamies' but she looks away trying to stay out of his way to avoid her bad luck. But bad luck is what she only had. "Mr. Secretary? What do you think about this? What is your view about it?" He says making her snap her head back at him with wide eyes. She surely had heard each of their opinions and analyzed them in her own way. She even had made her own opinion from all the information she had collected from her co-worker. But she way not sure if he would like her response. She stayed assured that she doesn't need to speak in here as she was new today but her evil boss ruined everything.
"M-Me?" She questions stuttering due to nervousness. At this moment all the eye was on her petite figure. All the attention got her sweating as she is not used to having much presence around her. She actually did think she would do better once she came in the real world but here she was trembling under the gaze of peoples. "Yes. Do you see here another figure who I call secretary?" He says with his cold but mocking tone. His tone ignites a fire within her as she was having much of his bitchy attitude. She grits her teeth glaring towards him but she was unaware of her own actions. She stood up still having her eyes on her boss who was slightly taken back at her sudden change of attitude.
"No Sir!" She says
"Then proceed. What are you waiting for?" He says back with much hatred and coldness looking straight into her eyes. The other staff was observing the two figures glaring at each other. They could feel a heavy but dark tension creating within the room. They really feared being within the same place with their new CEO. They sure prayed for Jamie as she was his SECRETARY.... but sure they were amused to have that audacity to face him with such glare and confidence. For them sh sure became someone respectable because of her attitude around their boss whose they preferred as an evil, rude, and cold beast - tho it was his second day in the company premises.
One of the staff cleared his throat grabbing their attention, Jamie then signs turning around scanning the room. "Do you really have nothing to say? Mr... Secretary?" She signs again glancing at her boss.
"I do have." She says receiving a proceeding gesture from Ethan. "Umm. I guess rather than having a site inside the city it would be better to have one on the other site which is famous for its beauty. Most of the people visit that place. Even on a daily basis, the outcome is more. It would be easy to access the accommodation for the visitors as it would be near the site. And moreover, the city is filled with resorts and hotels. It may not be that profitable." She finishes with a sign as she eyes all the staff who were gulping down and staring at her with an expression which she couldn't comprehend.
"I guess you are not that bad... Mr. Secretary." Ethan says with a satisfied look while the other nod their head. " I see you all have been focusing on the city because of the number of people and mainly because its a city. But we need to focus more on the profit and mainly people nowadays prefer nature over the accommodation. We need to focus on their need and interest. So, I conclude this meeting with this. We will go with Mr.Secretay. Does anyone have a question?" The rooms remain silent while few shake their head no. "Even if you had a doubt I wouldn't have changed my view. Meeting dismissed.!" He says making his way out of the room.
While inside every staff had their jaw hung low because of his statement. Jamie, once she came out of her trance, exits the room following her boss.
