Adrian's POV:
I was getting tired already. It was barely a minute I laid my head to rest before getting back to work when my telephone buzzed out. It was an incoming call from Evelyn; my secretary.
I wasn't in the mood to answer the telephone. Whatever it was could wait for later. I declined the call for the second time now, but the telephone rang out again. It seemed really urgent this time. I answered the call shortly.
"Good day, sir. A lady is here to see you", she said.
"Is she Zoey by name?", I asked. I hoped to get a positive reply. I had been longing to see Zoey all day. Though, I couldn't figure out the reason. She lingered on my mind, literally the whole night.
"A minute please", she put the call on hold. "Yes, sir. Do you have an appointment with her, today?".
"Sure, I do! Let her in", I said as I put down the telephone. I heaved out a heavy sigh.

Ding dong, the doorbell rang out loudly.
"Come in, please", I responded, fully aware that she was the one.
"Thank you", she voiced out softly, behind the door. "Finally!", I whispered to my own hearing.
Her exquisite aura totally changed the atmosphere. The clicking sound of her black lace heels got my attention. I couldn't take my eyes off from the moment my gaze fell on her. Her black mini sleeveless gown partly exposed her sexy thighs. Honestly, she slayed it! It was hard to believe that I stared hard.
"Good day", she greeted. I ignored it to talk on something else. "Did you really have to appear indecent?", I asked.
"Seriously? You'd be getting used to it sooner", she smirked.
"And, who said you're getting the job?", I teased. She was mute, lmao.
My eyes caught the files in her hand. "Did you think I'd really go through your files again?", I asked. "Huh?", she gawked.
I smiled. "Well, I rescheduled you to see me today to check out if you had a bit of remorse left in you. I'll say, it's much better. So, let's conclude that you're hired. Congrats!".
Her eyes glistened up brightly. "Thank you! I feel honored to get the chance to work with you", she screamed excitedly.
"My pleasure", I replied. I felt happy inside. In a long while, I hadn't been this happy. We agreed on a specific monthly salary and sealed it up.
"You are to commence work tomorrow. You're gonna abide by three simple rules as long as I remain your boss. One, as my personal assistant, you have to be at work as early as 7 o'clock, every morning. No excuses for lateness. The second is dress decently. And the last, put on your best behavior", I listed out audibly.
"I will try my possible best to adapt to your rules", she said.
"It's not an option, but a must", I sternly said. No one dared disobey my rules. I had a zero tolerance for anyone who did. But, it seemed she was turning out to be an exception.
"I hope you don't mind showing me around", I heard her mumble. It wasn't a thing I did for my new employees. But if a sexy goddess insisted, why not?
"Sure, I don't mind", I responded. I took off my blue jacket and hung it on my chair, leaving me on a plain white shirt. I rolled up the sleeves a bit. "Can we?", I asked while picking up my phone. She responded with a smile as she quickly got on her feet.
