บท 12: What is happening to me?

Ethan's Pov

I have been doing all this work by myself. Ugh, I knew I could do all these by myself. I don't get why dad got me a secretary. Moreover, I have been working tho it's his part of the job. I am his boss and Ceo of this large company and Why even am I doing these myself? Am I going crazy? I could shout at him, fire him. My choice but why do I feel so-so ... ugh, I don't know whatever!

I am returning to my office after discussing these few strategies with the head of the department. It was not that good as it was me who did all. Why are they all so lazy and sulk every time I order them to do their work. Don't they take me seriously? I guess I need to show them what I can do to those who are not passionate enough in their work. Such a person doesn't deserve to be here. And mostly that secretary of mine has to be fired. If only I could know what is so special about him and why dad cares about him as he does to me. What is he to him? I do feel jealous.

As I open the door to my room, I see it empty. Did he go somewhere else? Really at the time of work. I knew he doesn't deserve to be my secretary. He does nothing good. I sign making my way towards my seat. I am glad I am making dad happy and I will make sure he would be proud of me. As I was starting to go through the recently prepared document, I heard a slow and soft sound. It seemed like someone's soft breath but I am alone here. I stand up from my and scan the room to see - WHAT THE HELL?

Is that boy sleeping in working hours? Aish! It seems like I am the Secretary and that boy is the boss. Can anyone believe this? Like what the f**k? I glare at his sleepy figure making my way towards him. But why is that he is looking so cute...?

WHAT?

Ethan calm down man. Since when do you think he is cute. Huh? He is the son of a devil. And a package of trouble and stress.

I bend down on my knees and raise my hand to shake him but I freeze when he mumbles something to turn around facing me. When he turned, his face was so close to me. I gulp at such close proximity.

What the hell is happening to me? Why am I getting so sweaty and nervous all of a sudden?

I slightly bring my face back maintaining distance as a sign leaves my mouth. I look at his face again.

"He is actually cute..."

I mumble without me knowing but once I regain my sense, I jolt up with my hands on my hip. I sign having this moment hard for me to manage. Why is he affecting me so much? I look at him sleeping and it irritates me how calmly he has been sleeping while I am working in his place. You at least need to know what trouble means. I will let you know... "Pretty boy..."

Ugh! Again. What is happening to me? He is affecting my brain. Aish, I need to do something as soon as possible. It must not be only me who suffers. He will to and from this moment I will make his life miserable.

I turn around on my feet with an evil plan creeping up in my smartass brain. I smirk satisfied and make my way towards the desk.

End of Ethan's Pov

Etan then grabs the glass of water placed on the desk. He smirks glancing back at Jamie who was sound asleep. He walks closer preparing himself for his unusual action. He then stands just in front of Jamie ready to empty the glass. He bends a little as his eyes travel from her eyes to her nose and settle at her lips. He gulps shaking his to and fro cursing himself for eyeing his secretary. He groans and pours the water over her face resulting in the glass empty.

Once Jamie feels her face wet, she shrieks sitting straight on the couch legs folded and her hands on her face wiping away the wetness and water as she controls her pants. She gulps calming herself with her eyes closed. She suddenly felt an urge to shout as she dislikes being woken up with water thrown over her face. She clenches her jaw and fist with her nose flaring with anger.

"Yah! How many times do I have to say? DO NOT THROW water IN MY FACE?" She yells still unaware of her surrounding. "I swear I will fucking kill you, Lauren!!!" With this, she jolts up from the couch with her eyes wide open and hands raised in the air clenched in a fist. But she freezes when she sees her boss standing in front of her with wide eyes and hands folded on his chest. She gasps once she realizes her outburst. She looks away embarrassed and walks backward as she felt the distance between them to uncomfortable for her to bear. But she hits her leg with the couch making her fall backward. She closes her eye waiting for the impact but nothing came. She felt nothing but a hand holding hers.

She opens her eyes to see her boss holding her hand within his. She tries to stand up straight but Ethan smirks leaving her hand from his hold. She falls down on the couch but her head hits the handle of the couch. She winches in pain holding her head. Ethan widens his eyes and approach her but stops when he realizes what he was going to do. He clears his throat and speaks. "Tsk. Tsk. Such a weak boy you are. You can't even handle yourself, how will you work here?"

"What?" Jamie yells still caressing her head because of the extreme pain she felt on her head due to the fall. "You are just a delicate, weak, and a pretty boy. Can you even be considered as a boy? You look more feminine." He says with his cocky tone but Ethan curses himself inside his mind when he processes his words himself. He didn't want to say that to her his pride but what came from his mouth was a tongue slip and it happened already. Jamie just grits her teeth trying to keep her calm but the person in front of her was giving her a hard time.

She stands up in front of him with her confident glare and folds her hands around her chest. "What did you just say? Feminine? What if I am? Why am I affecting you? And about my work... you haven't seen me working so don't judge a book by its cover!" She yells at him with her glare boring deep into his orbs. He stood still taking in all the new information and mostly Jamie's words. He was shocked to hear that from her because he sure was affected by her. When she gets no reply from him, She walks past him towards the exit. She opens the door but stops and turns around facing him who as still in the same position she left him in.

"And I can prove to you that I am better... much better?!" She says slamming the door shut as Ethan flinch in surprise. He had never seen her being so violent. She always bowed her head and followed him without any words. This for sure irritated him because he hated those you cling onto him. And this new version of his secretary surely caught him off-guard. He likes how she stood for herself.

[He is fun... let's play this game, Mr. Secretary.]

He smirks thinking to himself.

While Outside the room, Jamie had her hand over her mouth completely shocked with herself. She didn't know how and Why she did that. She curses under her breath ruffling her hair. She then stops ruffling and grabs her short hair and groan stomping her leg. She then heard shuffling from inside. She widens her eyes in the fear of getting caught outside the door and mostly outside the door to her boss's office. She then runs away from there not wanting to meet him and looking at his face.
